T. Thorson I was pleasantly surprised to See so many out attending Langstaff school meeting New Year’s Eve. It was evident that something was :x- pasted, though nothing unusual hap- pencd‘. I understand these meetings have never been well attended and that such a large gathering was out of the ordinary, which would suggest to me that some campaigning had been done. There has been a great deal of responsibility left on the shoulders of the trustees of this school all these years, and I am sure Mrs. Ball is to be greatly congratulated by the great amount of confidence plac- ed in her and I sincerely congratu- late her on her very long service and: her return to office again by acclamation. The presence of the Rev. Mr‘ Col- cbough in the chair gave a bearing of dignity to the meeting and it was- indeed‘ gracious of him to give his time and shows his kindly interest in. the community in general. I would like to thank Mr. Mathews for my own nomination and had! it not been a complete surprise things might have been different, but feelâ€" ing very incompetent beside Mrs. Ball’s long years of experience as trustee I felt obliged to withdraw. I thank Mr. Mathews for the honor. I also thank anyone who might have given me a vote. I close by saying that should Mr. Morgan Boyle be disqualified by rea- son of his. living out of the school section and it is found necessary to elect another trustee, that I hope there will be another large turnout of res’dents and that they will share the responsibility for the education of young Canada. It is not fair to the trustees to elect them and run out onv them. We as parents have our responsi- Abilfrties also and there should he a good attendance at several school meetings each year.
