One of the unsolved problems wa that of an auxiliary class for backwar pupils. The need of such a class had impressed him very deeply. Another problem is the overcrowding in the B.C.I., where some classes are too -large for proper handling and the principal has too much teaching and too little time for supervising. Yet the additional burdens anenlarged school would mean to the ratepayers could not be lost sight -of. He` believed; the curriculum too diversified and some features of it had a tendency to en- courage loafing. ; Conditions today make the `problems of secondary edu- cation greater than a generation ago. among the reasons being the fact that , discipline is moredifficult and that there are many attractions--social. athletic, and entertainment-to divert students from their work. V Kind Words for Staff In proposing Our Staff. A. J. Sar- jeant spoke very highly of the teachers. They had worked harmoniously with the Board and had the interests of the sion is one of the highest in the world- and its representatives in Barrie -are ' such as the town.ma,v well be proud of. The new principals, Mr. Bell and Mr. Pearson. were doing` good work. It was notewgrthy of Mr". Marlin that during his 10 g_term on the Barrie staff he `had not once been late-orabsent (ex- stuu anam naa responded with faith- ful service. There had been two real losses during the year through the resignation of Miss Booth and `the death of Mr. Shear. who `was a very fine type of citizen, a successful teach- er and an efficient principal; ' hf f`1A' iuvuasniuuxd ---L`---A-` egd bl. stat! 0.-.1 . --. . nu. -uwbaa 0 -As toethe first point, the trustees had kept -within their estimates and the property was well caredfor. If the ratepayers knew the problems and actual needs they would wonder how the levy was kept down. They had met their responsibilities to the children by keeping a staff un- surpassed in any town of its size in Ontario. even though Barrie is not in a position to pay such salaries as are loffered in the `cities. The Board also had tried to improve the equipment and make teaching easier and- more efi ective.~ ~ ~ ` -_ ....-,y u `Ill uunnvo The trustees, he pointed out. have a three-fold responsibility: (1) To the ratepayers, in seeing that their taxes are expended to the best advantage. (2) To the pupils. in seeing that they get the best facilities for securing an education. (3) "To the staff in helping them to produce the best results from their labors. ` A- 4.- '41.. my . -- - ins. people informed regarding civic affa s. M. D.

This was introduced by J. A.

He appreciated the fact that the Board has serious prob- lems, but intimated to the trustees that it would be well for them to watch - their step so that the tax rate may be kept down. He hoped that some ac- firm would be taken to clean up the old B.C.I. ruins, Blake'St. The ques- tlon was. how it could be done and who would do it. Such an eyesore cer- tainly should be removed. In conclu- sion. ,Mr." Dyffsaid there should be closeco-operation among municipal bodies andyhe felt sure the Council would gladly. co-operate with the loard for theadvancement of educa- l t on. `Following theiexample set by some or his predecessors, Dr. E; L.
