Watson, Live Stock Com- missioner of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, is one of the outstanding agricultural speakers in the Province and has Supervising Principal Sand in presenting the estimates said they were based on previous ex- perience and while they could be considered high he believed‘the purpose of the school system was to provide these things. Mr. Sand even went so far as to say that of ten schools with which he had compared instructional exâ€" penses. this bUdget was the high- est. “But,” Mr. Sand added, “It gives the most.” Trustee John McKay stated. “We want to do the job :dequate- iv to give the children the best possible education.” On motion of Trustee McKay. seconded by Trustee Lionel Frost, the budget was accepted. The provincial Department of Education pays a grant of $1.00 (based on average daily attend- ance) for library books. Mr. Sand considered this at $850.00 ade- quate for library books. For textbooks the province gives a grant of $3.00 per child this will amount to $2550.00. “They ‘will take care of our requirements adequatelv for both new and re- placement texts on the approved list.” said the Supervising Prinâ€" cipal.

Trustee John Honsberger- ask- ed whether it was the practice of the staff to repair books or were they thrown out. Mr. Sand said it had been his experience that when the bok was damaged to the extent it needed major re- pairs it was not much more ex- pensive to purchase new books which would outlast the repair job.

Trustee Honsberger said experts felt in a group of 130 children in Grades 7-8, ap- proximately 20 would benefit from supplimentary work and ap- proximately 40 children would benefit from special classes for slow learners.
