Instead of the school furnishing presents for each scholar. they were asked eah to give a free- will offering in aid of the Home for Incurables, Toronto. "All responded and appeared to enjoy the opportunity` of giving instead of receiving. A sub- stantial sum was realized and will reach the Home in time for Christmas. Aenroved Purchase oflchurch At a meeting of Lefroy ratepayers held on Dec. 18.lthey voted unanimous- ly in fnvoi-`of the purchase of the for- mer Presbyterian church building to be converted into a continuation school. Mr. Mills, Inspector of Continuation Schools for Ontario. was present, re- presenting the Department of Educa- tion. He expressed his pleasure upon the splendid headway the school has made during the two years it has been in existence and-. recommended that commencing next year a further teach- er should _be engaged, giving`half time to the continuation and public schools. This would relieve the public school. which is now badly overcrowded. and would enable the continuation school to carry students to the Normal En- trance at least.
