Add to these the element- ary schools in Newmarket and Newmarket‘s own little hinterland â€" the schools that already feed these high schools â€" and you have a complete school system ready to be operated by what would become a Newmarket District Board of Education. Unable to pay more than $50 to $75 a year for rent the library was re-located several times: When Victoxia Hall was conveited to a two stoxy build- ing in 1913 the books and shelv- es were moved across Yonge' Street to the Lindsay-Francis General Store. A few'years later they were set up at the rear of a confectionary store in the remodelled hall. In 1934 the fees for adults and children totalled only $12 and the premises were very dreary. President Mrs. Arthur Thomp- son. and the Rev. E. E. Pugsley, a board member, pressed for ‘brighter quarters. and in 1935 arrangements were made to move to the second floor board room in Thornhill Public School. The school at that time had four classrooms, only three of which were in use. It stood in a field.

Norman Gibson keeps his weather eye on the activities of “The Hole Thing”. The members have been evolving into self- governing bodies since last October. They now have a number of committees who see to it that everything runs smoothly. The refreshment committee looks after the bar that dispenses coffee, soft drinks, potato chips and chocolate bars. The setting-up committee comes a little earlier on Saturday to set up the bar and the tables in the roomy lower auditorium. The young people start arriving at about eight o‘clock and remain until eleven-thirty. After the closing, the committee dismantles the room and tidies up.

The voter would be choos- ing a school trustee who should be able to compre- hend the school attended by the voter‘s child. The trus- tee could work closely to meet the needs of that school and that child. But something changes if you lump in with the New- market district other cohesive areas such as Sutton and Aur- ora, with their high schools and the elementary schools feeding them. A new dimension replaces the community basis of ad- ministration. Decisions 51811 to come out differently. It is hard for the Sutton-elected trustee to grasp Aurora prob- lems as closely as Sutton problems. The system is too hip.‘ The lowest common de- nominator becomes too low- down. Trustees find them- selves more and more dependent on a hired director of education and a growing hierarchy of officials. A new empire has been born, inter- posing itself between the community and the teaching profession. between the par- ent and the classroom. There is less and less edu- cation for the individual and more and more education for the mass â€"â€" till crisis de- velops as it has been develop- ing in administration - oriented school systems in many parts of the continent. York County contains a large number of old-estab- lished, relatively stable com- munities. With their hinter- lands, they provide the ideal Library.

This‘ will not be happy news to: those who remember that the‘ library began. and existed for more than half an century on the Vaughan side of Thornhill. However it will solve one of the ticklish financial problems peculiar to villages situated in two townships. After January 1. residents of Vaughan Township will have a choice of paying $2 for a card at the Thornhill Library or 10 cents for a card at the branch of the Vaughan Township Cen- tennial Library which is nearâ€" ing completion at Pearson Aver we and Scott Drive in Rich- vale. In closing we would like to extend good wishes to Thorn- hill Public Library as it enters a new era, and to pay tribute to the late J. E. Francis, sec- retary of the Thornhill Lib« rary Board for 40 years; to the late Mrs. J.

At this point somebody is bound to ask: “But could a Newmarket District Board provide for the exceptional child â€"â€"- the retarded child. the disturbed child. the deaf child, or whatever?" Perhaps yes: perhaps no. Let us asâ€" sume it could not. But surely this question proves the op- posite point. You don't base your structure on the excepâ€" tional situation but on the general situation. Consider the deaf children. They may be too few in num- her for a Newmarket District Board to be able to provide for them. But, a dozen or a score of boards of education in this county could each ap- point a trustee to administer together a county school for the deaf on a co-operative basis. with each board paying so much for each child it sent. This would give the school for the deaf its own board of trustees able to give it the particular attention that such a particular kind of school requires. rather than have its needs lost sight of in the mass of questions before a board dealing with everything that is happening in a very large school system. Every school board in this county is facing heavy finan- cial problems. These prob- lems cannot be solved within the county alone but at Queen's Park as well.

Part of every program is what is known as the “serious content”. This particular Saturday night they were having a film. Sometimes they have guest speakers or a debate. Last year several members wrote two plays and produced them for their own entertainment. The town police department have shown their interest by providing an off-duty policeman. On one occasion the coffee house was visited by a “streetwalker”. Don’t get any wrom.r ideas though! This “streetwalker” is an unattached YMCA worker whose job it is to circulate around coffee houses, restaurants and street corners ming- ling in a friendly fashion with the young. Another feature of this coffee house is the cre- ative room. If you don’t wish to listen to combo. you can go to the creative room. look at TV, play cards or checkers or just simply talk. IN INTERESTING INVOLVEMENT DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS Rev. Gibson said that there would be further involvement when twenty Indian youths from the Cape Croker Indian Reserve, north of Wiarton will be coming to Richmond Hill to spend three days in the homes of local young people. While the Indian youths are here, they will be entertained with a special welcoming party. They will visit the new city hall in Toronto and get a chance to skate on its open air rink. They will visit the museum and perhaps see a professional hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens. The purpose behind this involvement is to im- nrnvn rnlafinnghins between the Indian and white The purpose behind tm: prove relationships between beople people. . “Next spring, our young people wxll make a, return visit to their Indian friends,” said Mr. Gibson.

If it did not, more redress must be won from Queen‘s Park. The real in- equality in Ontario is not that within York County but that between the golden horseshoe and the rest of the province. But. in any case, financial problems are not an educaâ€" tional reason for change. New solutions must be found. That is a subject in itself. There are unsound theories of school administration abroad in the land. The ad- ministrator‘s paradise can he the students‘ nightmare. The empires will grow while good teachers leave the profes- sion. To do in a clasct what is proposed can result in three administrative monstrosities. To take time to consult can result in sound reform. There is a lot of wisdom in the towns. townships. villages. homes and schools. Can any county councillor really be afraid of open public consult- ation and dialogue (and of the studies in depth that can illuminate the discussion)? What is all the hurry? And why can't we get the report? The public will be reassur- ed if every candidate for reeve and deputy-wove. for municipal office and school board will pledge himself against any {alt accompli and in favor of democratic con- sultation so that we can all together arrive at an inform- ed consensus on how to con- tribute to excellent education. community by community and throughout the county.
