Retiring President, Reports At a well attended meeting the Richmond Hill Lions Club completed their 1948-49 year last Thursday evening and installed the newly el- ected officers for the coming year. In a very impressive ceremony Lion Reid Murdock, Past Interna- tional Director. member of Toronto Central Lions Club, assisted by Lion Bob Little, District Governor Elect, installed into office the newly elected officers. Lion Reid Murdock first addressed the club on what Lionism stands for in its principles of ser- vice find welfare in each community where a club exists, its objects he said are to create and foster a spir- it of generous consideration among; all peoples, to promote the theory and practice of good government and good citizenship, to take an active interest in the civic, social and mor- al welfare of the community, to un- ite its members in friendship', good fellowship and mutual understand- ing. Following this most interestâ€" ing address he proceeded to install each officer outlining their individ- ual duties and responsibilities/The order of irstallation was as follows: Lians Club Completes Seasen 1949-1950 Officers Installed 'Heufing and venh'lah'ng system and rear-corner win- dow: wiih de luxe equipment optional at extra cost.

Special thanks was expressed to all retiring members of the exec- utive for their outstanding efforts during the past year and a special note of appreciation was expressed to Lion Jack Smith and every mem- ber of the staff of the Liberal for their exlcelllen't co-operation (luring the past year. Lion Reid Murdock was given a sincere vote of thanks for the duties he performed at this meeting and was presented with a gift of roses. lotions, Welfare, Finance. Boys and Girls. Under this last committee a most interesting outline was given on summer activities for our boys and girls, the details of which will be given separately at a later date. President-elect Albert Hill now took the chair and in his opening address said he felt greatly honored and yet very humbel in taking over this very important office. He spoke briefly on the subject of Past and Present! Let us do the things, he said, that we as Lions are obligated and expected to do cheerfully and piomptly.'We as Canadians, he said, should be proud of our own Canad- ian Lion Walter H‘sher who will within another month become Pres- ident of Lions International, the highest office in Lion‘ism. We, as members of Richmond Hill Lions Club, he said, are very proud of our own Lion Bob Little, who was re- :ently elected District Governor Dis- trict A3. We are proud of the rec~ 0rd of this Club, and every member should put his shoulder to the wheel anew and go on to still greater ach- ievements in LiOnism.

This supervising principal is constantly in touch with every school and is very helpful to beginning teaâ€" chers and even other teachers who are weak in various phases of teaching in the schools. -This principal will be The school board for the area, upon election, takes office for the coming year. The new“ school board assumes all liabilities and assets of the exist- ing sections comprising the area and immediately arranges for adequate elementary education in a uniform manner in the most economical man- When the byslaw is passed, the ex- isting- sections.‘are dissolved at the end of that year and the term of of- fice of the present trustees expires. At the annual nomination meeting of the Township,, nominations are re- ceived for persons to act on the school boal‘d for the area in the same manner as fonthe Council (five to be elected in each. instance). The Council of the Township of Vaughan is considering a by-law which if passed will establish two school areas in the Township to ad- minister and regulate elementary school education in the Township. Many inquiries have been made as to the operation of such an area and the purpose of this article is to ac- quaint interested persons in the Township with the‘fun-‘ctioning: of such a school board. . The present administration of rural schools is by a board of three trus- tees. This system was established on recommendation of Egerton Ryerson over a century ago and was designed to meet the trend of education at that time. To-day,‘it still serves a useful purpose, but it has been found that under a Township School Area where an elected (same as the Township Council) board of five persons ad- minister the affairs of all the schools in the area, more uniformity pre- vails. ‘ Township School Area System Explained By Vaughan Council (Editor‘s Note: Because of a cer- tain lack of understanding of the principles involved in the suggested change from the old school section system to the new school area system the following eXplanatory statement is authorized and published by the Vaughan Township Council.) ,\ ppnint Supervising Principal Schoul Attendance Increasing In conclusion one point that should be emphasized is that a school area board has no relation to consolidation. It is not proposed to establish a glor- ified school in the centre of the area and transport all pupils to that school. But rather each and every school will remain as it is and where it is. The function of the new five man board will be to provide adequate educational facilities comparable to each and every school in the area. The school area board of five persons will replace the existing school boards and on a broader and in a more compre- hensive manner provide education to the pupils from Vaughan Township. The board for the school area may deem it advisable to provide itiner- ant music or crafts teachers. Services provided other than those that exist under the present system will nec- essarily increase the mill rate. These costs will be subject to a grant from the Department of Education and the balance to be levied should not be prohibitive but rather at a. nominal sum, promote and stimulate the edu- cation now being extended to the pupil sattending schools in Vaughan Township. Mr. Bill Schurman, general insur- ance agent, has just received word that he will receive a generous cash prize in the recent “Zurich Good Hunting Contest”. Bill is one of twelve agents across Canada who qualified for a prize. It is acknowledged that additional classrooms must be provided and the cost of the building is particularly high. However, at prevailing costs, a mill rate of only 1/5 mill will be required to pay for the debenture costs of building one classroom for which debentures are issued for 20 years on the present assessment in the proposed school area number 11. The school attendance is increasing throughout the Township and will necessarily demand the erection and maintenance of additional classrooms. But the natural increase in the as- sessment for the Township should absorb a large portion of the cost of new construction and maintenance. Under the present system, new con- struction is reflected in high'rates in a small section. WINNER I.\' COMPETITION The cost of the operation of a school area board is reflected on the tax bill. This is similar to the pres- ent system in as much as trustees requisition for the money required for the operation of the existing school and the same is collected through taxes and grants. Under School Area Number II, referred to above an additional grant of over $3,500.00 will be paid to the board. With the regular legislative grant and this special grant the cost to the taxpayer is lessened. It has been esâ€" timated that the rate for the opera- tion of the board for school area number II should not exceed 6.0 mills in order to provide similar education- al facilities as they exist today. The financial support of education under a school area board is similar to the present system with two ex- ceptions. The first exception is that the Department of Education gives a larger grant to a school area board than to the existing three man school board which to the two areas in the Township of Vaughan would amount to approximately $4,500.00 :1 year. The second exception is that all the costs less the grants are levied on all the assessable property in the area by a uniform rate and the same rate prevails in all the sections compris- ing the area rather than a different rate for each section. It has been propoged that the two areas be comprised of the following sections: Area Number 1 â€" Thornhill, Lang'- staff, Richvale. , Area Number 11 â€" Carrville, Hope Maple, Concord, Edgeley, Vellore Brysons, Purpleville, Pine Grove Lower 9th, Elders Mills, Coleraine Kleinburg, Nashville, Patterson, Mt Lebanon, Jefferson. Many other benefits are prevalent under a Township School Area Board than under the present three man trustee board of an individual secâ€" tion. These may be in the form 0f itinerant teachers in special subjects such as music, manual training, household science and agriculture, more equitable distribution of school costs, saving on purchase of school supplies, more efficient teaching or improved administration and super- vision. able to watch constantly every class in the Township .and ascertain the progress of that class with relation to other classes in the Township and thus eliminate the loss of time suf- fered by many children who quite fre- quently attend a school where a tea- cher through lack of help is unable to impart knowledge comparable to other schools. An inspector making one or two visits a year is unable to do this. ’ireater Provincial Aid THE L’IIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Thursday.
