G. Robertson. If Premier Ferguson's proposition means anything it means there win be 200 less students in Barrie Collegiate In- stitute within two years. That may mean enlarged public and separate schools, and it is not fair to either public or separate school supporters to spend money at this juncture on a larger collegiate. It is not fair to argue that the collegiate could be used for primary education. It is not adapted. "I think the whole thing -has been bungled from the start, particularly so from an architect's standpoint." - Don't Need Addition? I have long been of the opinion that_the attendance at B.C.I. was ab- normally high in proportion to our population and if it did not adjust itself could be made to do so. stated George B. McLean. I am in favor of Premier Ferguson's plan to transfer two forms from the collegiate to the public schools and ifthis is done the addition to 3.0.1. will not be needed, but extra accommodation at the pub- lic schools will be necessary in all like- ` lihood. The number of university stu- dents which would -be kept two years . longer in Barrie, should that planbe ' adopted. would be small in proportion f to the number which would yearly re- main in the public schools. I may be ' old-fashioned but I am a strong be- ` liever in public school education. I ` think the course should have been ex- tended two years long ago."

The Midland School has also 11,542 square feet of floor space. Mr. Bryson learned, as compar- ed wlth Barrie's 9,000 square feet.

Premier's Plans Too Uncertain Now that the plans of the Board have reached the stage where they are ready to start construction $5,000 should not make any difference, stat-_ ed George C. Brown, former member of the Board. After a thorough can- ; vass of the whole situation the Board * decided the addition was necessary and conditions have not changed. They are still trying to educate 550 pupils in a building intended for only 350. Premier Ferguson's plans are ~ too hazy and too uncertain to be con- sidered at this stage."

The Club is for farmers sons and daughters, many of them of families of the Milk Pro- ducers Association. K. A. Hay of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders Associa- tion, addressed the meeting, at the conclusion of which fifteen signed up, agreeing to buy an Ayrshire heifer, special arrangements being made with the bank to finance. It is estimated the heifers will pay for themselves in one year. There will be a club com- petition in production, extending over three of four years. The club members conduct their own affairs and gain much valuable business experience. Those who Joined were Alice W. Hun- ter, Allandale; Wm. 0.
