It has many purposes â€" to make better people, to develop innate capacity, to make the child useful to society. In Ontario the of- ficial purpose of education is to prepare a child to live in a democracy,” he stated. Mr. Hallman went on to point out that education must predict the demands that the society of the future will make on the children of the present. The child must be prepared for the brave new world with the facts we know today. This poses many problems. lWill the child have to know addition in a tomorrow ’when everything is done by I.B.M.?

Ratepayers After the adjournment of the meeting, the members of the audience Were conducted on a on behalf of the Public School Trustees‘ Association of Ontario. Mr. Mills noted that presenting ‘a bible to a new school had been the custom of the association for many years. and that it was a book from which the girls and boys would derive great bless- ing. He emphasized that it was not a denominational book, but the word of God, and not given to any one sect or denomination. The principal of the school. Mr. S, B. Myers was introduced by Mr. J. D. Stone, chairman of the finance committee. “Some of you have seen the school and have appreciated its aesthetic and practical value" said Mr. Myers. “The structure of a school does not affect the basic learning of a student but it does affect his attitude and makes for greater effort on the part of not only the pupils |but the teach- p‘s." Mr. Myers then called upon .he members of his staff to rise and ‘be introduced to the audi- ence. “It is my uprivil your school the said Rev. J.

The 1boiler room, washroom and ad- ‘ministration and storerooms are in the centre. with classrooms on the outside. Because of this de- sign, they were able to shorten the building. The classrooms are also some six feet shorter than the conventional room. for econ- omy and to balance the design.

I would like to say that I have had the pleasure of reporting every monthly meet- ing of the board of trustees of T.S.A. No. 1 Markham for the past year and a half and dur- ing that time. I have been consistently impressed by the sincerety, industry and devo- tion to the cause of education which has been evidenced by each and every one of the members of the board. The bright. attractive and obvious- ly efficient school for which they were responsible. and the equally obvious harmony which exists between the board, their business adminis- trator, their teachers, the in- spector, contractors and archi- tects. are all a tribute to their many fine qualities. The rate- payers of the school area are to be congratulated on their election of such worthy re- presentativles.
