A little extra walk does the children no harm. People talk of a central site but where will we get one? Part of the Agricultural Park (which has been suggested as "a site) is leas- ed from Mrs. Adamson, and while a sale price is stipulated in the agreement it is only for park purposes. The Agricultural Joint Stock Go.,,which owns the build- ing has an interest of` $8,000 to `$40,000 and would have totbe compensated in case the property were taken for school purposes.

No student should be compelled to. a long walk if it is avoidable. References to the Allandale attendance are unfair, for this` small attendance is due! to the distance. There were more resident pupils from \Vard VI than from.\Vard 1. Residents in Allaudale are quite as apprecia- tive of the importance of educa-' tion as are other residents of the town and are quite as intelli- gent and as well able to send their children to school. $20,000 is not enough to tie up the towns to a site while the growth is largely away from that site. The public. school situation needs at-- tention. It should be considered whether part of the B. C. I. re- mains could not be utilized fori the construction of a good ward. school.. The committee must en- quire into thewhole facts. . The last school would never have l-een completed had it been necessary to consult the people, who would! not have voted the Board $25 extra.
