SIMPSON’S DRY GOODS SIMPSON’S DRY GOODS Thou. Oakley When you shop around for a house that's already built, you stand a far bet- ter chance of finding a place that comes closest to being exact- Lv what you. want. And most important of all. perhaps, is the question of cost. I wish I had a dollar for every privately built house that ever exceeded its original estimate by 25 percent or more. Give me that, and I'll pay you a thousand dollars for every one that didn‘t eXCeed its original estimate at all. And then there's the problem of workmanship. Unless you have a far better than average knowledge of home-building, you never can tell whether your contractor might be cutting a few corners to increase his profit on your house. But if you buy a house that is already built, or buy a new one that is guaranteed to have the same workmanship as a "model" home built by the same contractor, you can see in advance exactly what you‘ll get for your money. .

That way, they say. they'll get exactly what they want. It sounds simple. doesn't it? And yet I venture to say that it never works out that way once in a thousand times. People who build their own houses'find almost invariably that there are some things they have overlooked, or didn’t think of until it was too late. by Thomas Oakley School Board has decided to make do with the present build- ing instead of purchasing a new site. Several store rooms and the shop are to be utilized. 7L4...

Frankly. we feel that Prin- cipal Miss Audrey Leary and her I "hing staff are doing a fine job We also realize that the “ed- ucational system" has changed drastically â€" for the better and more comprehensive understand- ing of the student -â€" since we attended public school, and that we are a trifle “at sea" if we try to push out D. and J. along at home. Annual Parents Night At Jefferson Public School Barring our preferred help with spelling (words never change that much â€"â€" and who could give them a wrong steer there”; or lending an attentive ear while our children read aloud from blue, green. red or yellow readers, we find that both child and teacher are happier without too much undue home influence on the part of the parent. Good Attendance by Mrs. H. G. Robertson From time to time we read protesting whimpers reâ€" garding the holding of “Parents’ Night” in our public schools, the argument being that one or two nights a year does not provide enough contact betWeen teacher-parent- pupil â€" and the multitudinous problems that can and do arise during the lengthy school term. We have never agreed with this protest, possibly be~ cause we have always found our own local teachers both willing and ready to ‘talk things over’ with anxious parents at any time of the year, if an occasion arises and discussion is necessary for the pupil’s welfare at home or school. However, last week, along with 68% of the other parents who have children enrolled at Jeffer- son school, we spent a very in- teresting and profitable.evening. Sifting out minor or major probâ€" lems, one by one, the teachers and parents sought and found firmer, as well as the most profit- able ground. between teacher- child-and-parent. New Look Jefferson School, with the ad- dition of its two new classrooms and activityâ€"room, has now ac- quired a new look, but the “fun- damental” atmosphere is even stronger than ever within its walls. And that basement-room, which may in future have to be turned into a classroom â€" the school rolls for 1956 show 135 pupils in attendance â€" is being put to good use in the meantime. Mr. Harry Hunt, senior-room teacher who came to Jefferson in September, has been instructing the children in physical training three days weekly. Mrs. C. Burns, who joined the perman- ent teaching staff this year, after serving as a supply teacher for the past few years, teaches sing- ing and music appreciation to the boys and .girls. Miss Leary is in- structing the senior girls in domâ€" estic science. Last Thursday night the Sen- iors put on a splendid demonâ€" stration, in the activityâ€"room under Mr. Hunt’s direction. Fol- lowing this entertainment for parents and friends, which in- cluded various exercises; basket- ball technique and games com- bining exercise with competition, a tour was made of the various classrooms. Meet Teachers Here the teachers met and talked to each individual parent on the various subjects being studied by their children. The student’s work and books were on display and each child was discussed by teacher and parents Seek Site For New R. Hill High School An option on a 15-acre site for‘ a new high school will probably be taken by the Richmond Hill District High School Board in the immediate future. After charts showing population growth in the district were presented by Chairman of the Building Com- mittee, Robert Tamblyn, the Board Monday, following Mr. Tamblyn’s_ recommendations de- cided to locate the future high school for Richmond Hill east of the CNR tracks in Markham Township. The site would be within walking distance of most of the prospective students.‘The Board estimates the new school will be needed by 1960. Trustee Tamblyn said study showed Yonge Street not to be the true line for dividing the district as far as population is concerned, the CNR tracks are a better medium in his opinion. The present Richmond Hill High School would serve Richmond Hill west of the C.N.R. tracks down to Carrville Roadoover to Highway 400. The Thornhill High School. the students south of Carrville Road to Highway 400. The proposed Woodbridge High School would accommodate those students west of Highway 400 in Woodbridge and the Township of Vaughan. Agree To Place Option It was estimated the popula- tion figures of Richmond Hill are 2,000 west of the C.N.R. and 5,000 east of the railway. Trustee Tamblyn believed other subdiv- isions will also be located in this direction first. The Board on motion of Trus- tee Tamblyn, seconded by Trus- “my” $ 375.00 STARTING mm - a m I 15 Numbe'rsCulled- J ' Numbers called Kindergarten is not available at Jefferson School and the First Grade must of necessity include certain aspects of this pre-school approach to being taught, by com- bining certain “stage props" of kindergarten life. such as dolls, dishes and toys, along with the regular school work of reading and printing. All of which was on display last week, just as the children find it from day to day. Mrs. Burns' room, for Grades 2 and 3, had some excellent draw- ings on display, with a great deal of talent revealed by her seven and eight year old pupils, among these being a- painted drawing with the provocative yet simple title, Pig in a Puddle, along with a splendid Elephant and a very good study of a ship. In Miss Leary‘s room, where Graue Une children are learning to read and print for the. first time, parents saw how the theme of their reading material is car- ried out by word-object recogni- tion â€"- right down to a beauti- fully iced and decorated ‘Cake’, which first grader’s find most eye-appealing; along with ‘Bun- ny’, ‘Flip’ and ‘Betty’. who are more than just words but indivi- duals to these tiny tots. in a competent and interested manner. Answering our enquiry about the wall pockets which hung be- low the blackboard, Mrs. Burns informed us she had brought this idea with her from Scotland. These pockets are each labelled and filled with various combin- ations of phonetic sound words. The children are encouraged to make use of this helpful sound- word recognition in their spare time and Mrs. Burns said it is remarkable how the constant re- ference to these words helps later during spelling periods. Art Display Grades 4 and 5 are taught by Miss 1. Dennis, also a new tea- cher at Jefferson. The children in Miss Dennis’ room had a var- ied and artistic display entitled My Picture Bible, as well as a most inclusive collection of Au- tumn Leaves, and a mural of Transportation in Early Times. Mr. Harry Hunt, teacher at Grades 6, 7 and 8, feels that his senior students are keeping up a good standard of work. Featured in Mr. Hunt's room. where art has always been on a high level of intelligent thinking and construction, two themes, Animals and Their homes and Remembrance Day were featur- ed. The various interpretations carried out by the students in paintings of Flanders â€" even at times combining the seriousness of the present worldâ€"situation on peace and war, were brought out remarkably by these children, many of whom are not yet in their ’teens.‘ Throughout the busy evening. the school trustees, chairman Stanley Leno, Ross Kerwin and H. C. Betts, were on hand to greet the parents â€"â€" while their wives performed the neighbourly service of pouring tea for the visitors in the teachers‘ room. We have been attending Par- ents’ Night at Jefierson for some years now, and along with every other parent present last week, we think it was the biggest and best night to date. fee Harry Sayers, agreed to let the planning committee get a surveyfiinvestigate, and if des- irable, place an option on a sel- ected, approximate 15 acre site in Markham Township. ' Chairman W. R. Dean said if the school were located in Mark- ham Township lt would probably have to be put to a vote of the ratepayers. Trustee Harry Charles said he could see no objection to such a vote being taken. He felt if the planning committee thought it the best location, the Board should use every effort to secure an_option on the property. Trustee StexVart Rumble felt Markham Township would be pleased to have the school lo- cated within its boundaries. How- ever as it was a rural municipal- ity costs must be considered care- fully. Trustee Rumble is a mem- ber of the planning committee. King Twp. Council accepted the tender of Equitable Securiâ€" ties at a bid of $95935 on the $80,000 debenture issure for the construction of the new munici- pal ofiices at their meeting on Monday, November 5.
