BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES Mr. T. Dauphinee islr. Dauphinee thought that, &chile every credit was due thc board for buil&ling the new annex at a cost of 61,800 out of gener- al funds, they had been too par- simonious in doing so. He sup- ported the by-law because we could not get along without more school accommodation an&i it would be cheaper than sending the children to North Vancou- ver. He said, that education was too vital a question to be consid- ered only from the standpoint of cost, quoting several opinions on the subject which he ha&1 recent- ly heard expressed by Premier Bruce of Australia. Chairman Edington sfr. Edington reviewed the work of the board for the past year. He said that every year they were faced with the diff- icult of overcrowding in the schools, and, while in 1926 they had asked for 61,800 from the Council to build the new annex to the Pauline Johnson school, in the end they had been able to build it out of their general funds. He stated that Mr. Pat- terson, head master of the High School had informed them last February that he could not car- ry on efficiently under the pres- ent crowded condition obtaining in his school. He spoke of the successful es- tablishment of night schools, which were carrying themselves and thanked 51r. Gamage for kindly donating a flagpole to the 22nd School. The difllculty in obtaining a satisfactory new school site was chiefly a matter of getting sufliciently level ground and the reason for choos- ing the proposed site instead of the old mill site was that the former was cheaper and had a better grade. He said that the plan of the school shown was a tentative one and only revealed the general lines on which the school would be built. Mr. G. D. Elgar Mr. Elgar, chairman of the fin- ance committee, referred to the great increase in the number of scholars since the schools start- ed. He said that the per capita cost of a pupil per annum was 358.34 in the public schools aml 6105.52 in the high school. He voiced the opinion that it was unfair that the cost of school maintenance should be borne by property owners only, but stated that the present cost of the schools only added lt/ mills to the general rate. Investigation, he said, had revealed the fact that 80 per cent of the pupils lived east of 25th Street. To a question as to ivhether it was the intention to take an offer made to give a school site in Cypress Park in exchange for some tax sale lands in 1Vhytecliff and the cost of registration of the deeds. sir. I'ercy 51asterman Mr. Masterman stated that at the public meeting on Tuesday, he had expressed his opinion on the question of the by-law and he still maintained the same pos- ition. Briefly he approved of a school being built, but di&l not consider the site satisfactory. He stated he knew of several better sites obtainable between 17th and 25th, but, being presso:I to give their location, refused to give any particulars, because of the fluctuations in value which he said such action on his part would cause. He sai&1 there were two courses that could be follow- ed, either to have one central school or schools in various sec- tions as those sections developed. Mr. Robert Fiddes 51r. J. S. Yates Mr. Yates, chairman of the building committee, stated he had only been 4 or 5 months on the board. He defended the pro- posed school site, saying it would have been cheap at twice the price, and further that, if, as some opponents said, there were better sites, it was curious they had not come forward with them. He emphasized the fact, when questioned, that the new school was for general purposes and not necessarily for use as a high school. Should the by-law fail to pass, he reminded his hearers that it would mean that the high school children would have to at- tend the North Vancouver High School at their own expense, the school law not making provision for such travelling. Mr. Fiddes stated he had made up his mind to run for the school board at the last moment and in doing so thought he would have no opposition. His chief reason for ofl'ering himself for election was that he thought his muni- cipal experience would be useful. There was in his opinion no argu- ment as regards the by-law, be- cause the lack of school accom- modation forced them to buil&l a school. Education, he sai&l, must grow with the district, for the reason that the educational facil- ities were the first thing pros- pective residents looked into be- fore making any decision to set- tle. We had an excellent school staff, and we should take care that none of them were induced to go to Vancouver. hlrs. Robinson Mrs. Robinson as chairman of the grounds committee, reported on what work ha&i been done in the various school grounds. As chairman of the health and man- agement committee, she said that the schools had had a free bill of health in 1926, there hav- ing been no epidemics. The av- erage attendance for the year was, public schools, 625.07, and high school 85.02. A high school library had been started and it was hoped to establish Domestic Science classes in 1927. Mr. E. C. Gamage sfr. Fdwin S. Carnage, a camli- date for the Board of School Trustees, was unal&le to be pres- ent owing to sickness. The stormy tveather of IVednes&lay night kept most people at honte, but under the conditions a fair representation of people attended the meeting of the School Board Trustees in the Ambleside HalL The following trustees &vere present: Chairman Edington, Mr. G. D. Elgar, Mrs. Robinson, Mr. J. S. Yates, and sir. T. Dauphinee, and each gave a report of the year's nork. The candidates spoke, giving their views of school board matters. Mr. J. Porter also addressed the meeting, as did Councillor Leyland and Mr. Jackman. The School By-law was thoroughly discussed at the meet- ing and it ivas explained that this by-law was for general pur- poses and not for a high school only, the board having purpose- ly worded it in order that the proposed new building might be used as a high school, a public school, or a combination as circumstances demanded. It nas pointed out that there was a serious shortage of school accommmlation, and that, if the by- law ivas defeated, the government would probably close the present high school to make room for public school pupils. This would necessitate the high school pupils travelling to North Vancouver High School at their own expense. Every member of the school board spoke very highly of the excellent work and the c~peration given by the staff of the public and the high schooLs.
