Dear Editor.--In view of vari- ous accusations brought against the Board at last Friday night' meeting and in place of 0 long explanation of school board policy which would tax your space and the patience of your readers, I ofter a few short re- marks that will dixpell any ides that the action of the Board, or its proposals for the future, are based'on anything but 0 definite- ly conceived plan for the benefit of all concerned, not excluding the tax-payer. The Finance Minister said to the School Trustees in Conven- tion on Tuesday, "We are pass- ing through a very critical time because "of our expenditures, and the day of reckoning has come." He also told them that educationalists and boards were responsible for a good part of the mountain of debt forced on a wehk government. We must ad- mit he is right, and failing the revolution, devoutly hoped for by a few who have nothing to lose, we shall hear more about it. We might sit pst and wait un- til the storm hits us, but we have a pride in the solvency of our Corporation, and a determin- ation to save what we now have, and consider essential, in the way of school facilities. IVe as- sume that we are Trustees not only for the children and the schools, but also for the fellow who pays the rap. As early as last Spring we foresaw mounting expenses and reduced revenues, snd consider- ed a course of action to be fol- lowed up as necessity should a- rise. We concluded that if, and when, the axe falls the High Schools will bear the brunt. We, with one exception, decided that many pupils are carried through three and four years to Junior Matriculation, to whom Junior Matriculation offered no benefit, when they could have been more usefully employed on a course suited to their temperament and outlook. Many of these fail and carry away the feeling of defeat. We outlined an alternative to the four year course emphasiz- ing Manual Arts, Domestic SOJ- ence and Business subjects, with more regard to the pupil's capac- ity and needs, than to the mere accumulation of credits, and we believe such courses will be a real boon to a goodly section of our young people. In most cases these courses can be completed before the pupil is 17 years old. This plan when it takes hold will obviously reduce the pupil year at High School and ensure a much higher percentage of pas- ses to University among those whose professional aspirations demand it. That is where we stand now, and whether or not it now ap- pears to be discriminatory, we believe it will ultimately work out advantageously to everybody aifec I Od. CHAS. T. KENDRICK, Chairman. v'he following is the text of the resolution of H. Davison, passed at the executive meeting on Monday, 13th September, in reference to the 36 fee at the High School: "Whereas, The financial posi- tion of the Municipality of West Vancouver has both by the Press and Radio Broadcast been ad- vertised as being very strong compared with the rest of the municipalities, And whereas, The West Vancou- ver Board of School Trustees have, according to the local press instituted a charge of 36.00 per month for High School pupils over the age of 17 years, whilst few if any other districts have idopted such 0 course,And whereas, Such a charge is most untimely and works a hard- ship on parents, especially those who are unemployed, and may put an end to many promising school careers, Therefore be it resolved, That the Executive Committee of the West Vancouver P.-T. A., called to meet in emergency, do strong- ly oppose and condemn the ac- tion of the School Board and ex- press the opinion that the free limit should not be set by age, but that each pupil should be en- titled to at least four years of High School education up to Junior Matriculation, regardless Ia nf age. c Made in Canada The newest method of heating the home The Silent Glow OIL BURNER Recommended by Good liousekeaping and Thc Canadian Home Journal, Approved by the National Blard of Fire Underwriters.

Both delega- tions requested that the fee be rescinded. H. Davison represent- ed the Socialist Party in pre- senting s letter of objection, and in speaking to the letter stated that he was also there as 0 dele- gate of the Provincial Board of the P.-T. A., snd the West Van- couver branch of that body, both of whom were opposed to the fee. C. D. Edwards, president of the West Vancouver Unemploy- ed Association, w~resent at the meeting and spoke Iirwup- port of the letter of protest put in by his organization. The meeting further took strong objection to tJIP employ- ment of 0 schoolndrse. Trustee C. T. Kendrick, chair- man of the school board, in reply stated that there were not funds in sight to complete the year, necessitating some cut being made in expenses. "There seemed to be an almost universal misconception," he said, "that the junior matricula- tion examination was the sim and object of a high school edu- cation, which was quite wrong." The board had only decided on making the charge after long and patient investigation and discussion, and had been trying to'give varied courses to meet the situation. If approved by the board, the fee was not applic- able to children over 1V years who were recommended for fur- ther instruction by the school principaL Subsequently, the basis of exception was defined as applying to those children whose parents due to distressed cir- cumstances, were unable to psy the charge in question. Trustee McDonald, chairman of finance, explained that the council had asked them to pare their original estimates, and, later, if necessary, to put in an additional estimate, which, how- ever, the council did not promise would be granted. They had re- duced their estimates, still in- cluding the cost of 0 school nurse, but the discontinuance this term of the senior matricu- lation class had resulted in a shortage of 31,000 in expected fees. They had then put in a supplementary estimate to the council to finish the year, but had been informed the latter had no money available for the pur- pose. The fee was not intended to primarily make up the defici- ency, but was part of a plan ar- rived at by the board to increase the efficiency of the high school. So far as the school nurse was concerned, a contract had been made with her for one year, and, therefore, nothing could be done until its expiry. Trustee Russell, who had pre- viously dissented from the reso- lution establishing the fee, spoke against it as a discriminatory measure. He stated the fee should be rescinded, and the money raised as follows by-- 1. Dischargmg the gardener of Pauline Johnson School, the janitor having stated he hsd time in the warm weather to do the work. 2. Dispensing with the ser- vices of the school board secre- tary. S. Dispensing with the retain- ing fees of the lawyer to the school board. On a motion being put by Trustee Russell to rescind the fee, Trustee Batchelor seconded his motion, while Trustees Mc- Donald and Jackson voted a- gainst it, Chairmen Kendrick de- cnring the motion lost Capital investment in the Dommion'0 iixhing industry in 1931 was something more than 345,300,000.

IiRGES ACTION ON REPAIRS TO BRIDGE Following conferences with the chairman of the joint Second Narrows bridge committee of Vancouver Board of Trade, Van- couver Chamber of Shipping and hierchants'xchange, Capt, J. H. Cates, president of Board of Trade, has made strong repre- sentations to Premier R. B. Ben- nett to hasten reconstruction of the bridge. In a letter to Premier Bennett, copy of which was read at Board of Trade Thursday night, Capt. Cates reminded him that the bridge has been out of operation for nearly two years and this has worked great hardship on the North Shore. He mentioned that there is a praposal to re- place the broken span with 0 vertical lift one which would, it is believed, solve the diificulty of navigation and at the same time make a safe and permanent con- nection between the two shores. In stating that the North Shore municipalities are experiencing great difficulty in financing st present due to the large amount of land reverting to them be- cause owners despair of highway connection being provided in the near future, Capt. Cates appeal- ed to Premier Bennett to hasten reconstruction. "An announcement that some definite action has been takeo would put new hope in the hearts of the people," the Premier was advised. hfembers of the board en- dorsed the action of Capt.
