(3) Because. however de- sirable it may be that tax- ation for educational purpo- ses should be equalized. it is no leSs desirable that edu- cational privileges should be equally extended to all, a result which would not be obtained under the manage- ment of a township board. (4) Because the elections of a township board would in a great measure be control- led by the ratepayers in villages not incorporated, consequently such villages would secure the best teach- ers at high salaries, while the purely rural districts would have cheap teachers and the sweet satisfaction of paing for extra teachers to other schools.

They were also supposed to select taxtbooks from a prescribed list prepared by tthouncil of Public Instruction for1 use in the schools under their jurisdiction. Former pupils, teachers and trustees of SS 12 (Clay- ton) located on Concession 5, Markham, gathered in Vic- toria Square Community Hall June 15 to celebrate the Centennial of the old school.
