wy TP 56th Year P. LOVE RESIGNS AS P. S. TRUSTEE After Long Service -- Public School Principals Want In- crease in Salaries. Al the first husiness meeting of the 1919 Board of Education, held on Monday night, a letter was received from Trustee Love tendering his resignation. Mr. Love bas been public school trus- tee for over twenty years. His resignation was accepted and the other elective members will "fill the vacancy al the next meeting All the other members of the Board were present and the session lasted till nearly ten clock Principals Ask More The principals of the public schools appeared in person lo support a written application in which they asked a salary in crease from $1300 to $1600, in- sing to $1800 in two years Mr Marlin saéd "hat it was difficult to maintain: themselves | ina manner worthy of their posi tion and have the ordinary com. forts of life at the sala Few people de their work more faithfully than the teachers While he did) not wish to brag he fell that the Barrie schools Will stand comparison with any in the provin Principals it ether fowns had or ved ine creases three years a thought the loeal men equally en- filled fo recognition for their] work. Mr. Morrison said that he} had heen teaching twenty years His father had taught for twenty. eight years and had been able te leave litt hehind him finan- | cially. 'Teachers at the present | seale of salaries have the same prospect ahead of them, He he. lieved the peaple are willing ¢ Kive better yenition of the services rendered by the teachers The principals ask only the same |* treatinent those in other towns eet. Up till now they had wait- ed patiently, appreciating the difficulty offwar conditjons. Mid- Nand principals got 81400 last year and are now getting $1500 it should not be overlooked that their education represented an investment of at least 84000 and they were surely entitled to lay hy-every year the current interest on that sum with some other provision for the future. After pointing out the splendid record of the Barrie schools and show- ing that the suecess of the col- legiate depends upon the effic- iency of the public schools, Mr Morrison quoted figures from a number of towns where the prin- cipals receive from 81500 to 81800, In Collingwood $1600. is paid. Comparing teaching with other employments he quoted eases of youths with not more than a Third Book education get- ting $1500 a year and call boys with very little schooling draw- ing $1200 a year. With such comparisons before them it is not easy for the teacher to impress the boys with the value of edu- cation. In teachers' organiza- fions the Barrie men had been honored with the highest posi- tions, their standing in the pro- fession being thus recognized. Cheaper teachers might be ob- tained, but where the training of the boys and girls is concerned surely cheapness should not be the first consideration. If the increases asked were granted, jt would give the teachers content- ¢d minds and would ensure the maintenance of the high stand- ing of the schools. After pointing out the neces- sity of the increase, Mr. Shear showed how under his direction over $600 in equipment had been added to the Burton Ave. School Trustee Love Resigns The following letter was' re- ceived from Trustee Philip Love: "In view of the 'fact. that there is a great amount of both new and nnfinished work to ibe taken care of by your Board during the present year, I feel that 1 can- give it the attention it re- rex without foo much finan- cial loss to my business. T there fore heg to tender my resigna- tion a member of the Board of Education and trust that your Board will accept the same. In tendering my resignation, permit me to extend to the Chair- man and other members of the Board and alsu to your worthy Secretary and staff of both col- legiate and publie schools my ap- preciation of their loyal support in all matters for the advaneo- ment of education.

Miss Cooke Returns The Management Committee reported that they had advertised unsuccessfully to secure a kin- dergarten teacher for tbe Burton Ave. School. However, they were glad to say that Miss Cooke had sufficiently recovered to take up the work again and.she had been re-engaged to start on March 3. Miss Guest of the Central staff, who has been absent through ill- ness since the first of the year, also will resume her work on March 3. The half-day system, that has been in force in the Primary room in the Central, will be con- tinued until the new committee has time to examine into condi- January West Ward without any assistance from the Board. In Midland, with a lower ~assessment, $1765 more is paid for salaries and the salary list of- Orillia is* $1475 higher than in Barrie. Mr. Shear felt that a majority of theratepayers are willing to see that the teachers are remunerated better for the important work they do. Mr. Carson also expressed the need of.more pay, though the amount asked by him is only $100 more, | 2 Trustée King pointed out some of the things the Board has. to contend with'in financing school affairs. At the same time he felt that the request of the teachers should have every consideration as Barrie has a staff second to * mone in the Provines tions. * Enquiry Trustee King asked informa- tion concerning a report he had heard to the effect that an effort was made to have frame doors substituted in the lavatories for the metal ones specified in the contract, Trustee Fisher replied that ii did not think° that any. change] Battle {pls gras Proust. to. his ietentenould he. made that could be|American Army during the war tion asked the architects for permis- sion to use the doors out of the old building, claiming that they were just as satisfactory as those specified. , Through #nover-| Wisdom, Richardson, MacLaren|showing of Newest. Spring' Coats A. F. A. MALCOMSON " IS NEW CHAIRMAN of Management. In calling upon the Board of Education to elect their chairman last Thursday night, Secretary Marr stated that this was the twentyafirst-time for him to per- form this duty. A ballot being taken, Trustee A. F, A. Maleomson was elected to the chairmanship. The newly elected chairman thanked the members for tha signal honor conferred upon him. After welcoming the new mem- bers, who had been so well elect- ed, he expressed the opinion that elections were preferable to an acclamation in that they created a much-needed interest in edu- cational affairs in the town. The Board of Education is one of the most important bodies in the municipality, for in its hands is placed the welfare of the rising generation, "Orators wax elo- quent." said the chairman,"in re- ferring to the youth of our land jbeing its greatest asset, and on your shoulders rests the ree sponsibility of seeing that these hows and girls have a fair chance jof securing a suitable education, iwithont whieh they will fing it jdiffienlt (o attain To any degree of success in life." |. The Chairman hoped that dur- ling the coming year the fen mem~ hers would each and all assume a common share of the work of the Roard, over which it would he his duty to preside. Many jinatters were referred to which {woul come before the Board in [the immediate future for con- |<ideration, chief among these be- ing the matter of salaries and the equipment of the new col- |tegiate. It had heen suggested ta him that they consider the advisabil- ity of forming a "Harmony Com- ----------_-- $800. The architects, however, insisted on the specifications be- ing adhered to. The Building Committee On_motion of Trustees King and Goodfellow, Trustees Fisher, 'Ryrne, Wisdom, MacLaren and Stephens were appointed as the B. C. I. Building Committee. Sub- sequently Mr.' Fisher was re- appointed chairman. Some Building Information At the request of Trustee Stephens, Trustee Fisher gave some information regarding the progress of the collegiate build- ing. The building is expected to be ady for occupation by Easter. » far there have been very few extras--probably not exceeding 850. One of the items was for change in the coal bin, which would pay for itself in a short time owing to the labor that would be saved' in handling the coal. Mr. Fisher had pointed out to was not high enough, but Mr. Ellis had said that he had the advice of a consulting engineer on the subject. sufficient capacity, but the stack is at least ten feet short. This will be remedied as weather permits. Suggests New Board Room Chairman Fisher asked the a Board room in the new build- ing. more inportant than the Town Council in some respects. Trustee 'MacLaren considered for their requirements and ob- jected to such unnecessary ex- penditure when there are 80 many pressing needs to be met. much more central and conven- ient, said Trustee Channen. ground that it would be a de- parture from the plans and he avoided. . .Get Ready 'for Opening On motion of.

Contrary to general, expecta- lions, the Sudbury hockeyists held their lead in the return match with Barrie, last Friday night, winning the round 8 to 7, Until towards the end' of the match the ice was in fair shape and the contest was the fastest and most exciting seen here this season. It was a hard game to lose. The local lads, though given a decidedly rough passage by their heavier opponents, stuck gamely to their jub in whieh they were encouraged by 'the enthus- iastic support of the big crowd which packed the rink. Referee Harvey Sproule was much too easy for such a game, Had he made the players cut out the "rough stuff by increasing the penalties as the offences desery- fed there is little doubt but the locals would have won the round. Pirst Period Determined to quickly dver- haul the lead of one goal, the Barrie team jumped into the game from the face-off and set a merry pace. In the first rush White missed a score by inches and on a second attempt hit the po Bogardis made several close shots. Presently Ber- thiaume broke awa went right through, but Fisher saved. Bogardis shot a hol one dead-on that was well handled by Iron- stone, While was given a dirly tumble by Kelly and had to be helped off the ice. No penally was given 'Kelly for this, but a few minutes later he was bench- ed for slashing. While soon re- overed afid, after fifteen min- jules of play, earrying the puck down, passed it to Bogardis in front of goal, the latter scoring. Thus the period ended with the score on the round a tie, The local lads were subjected to some very hard bodying, but Referee Sproule let it go. Second Period Sudbury uncorked a great burst of speed on their second appear- ance and after Fisher had stop- ped several hot ones, he missed an easy one in the shape of a Jlong high shot by Acquin from centre. Time 10 minutes. After five minutes he repeated on a similar shot. Texas went off for slashing. Before the gong sounded Sudbury added another when Acquin with a wide swing hit the puck which had been knocked to the side by Fisher, The period closed with the visi- tors leading 3 to 4. \ Third Period | With three goals behind, Bar- 's chances did not look very , but the clip "Doc's" boys hit from the start put the fans right on tip-toe. After several hot attacks, Reid tallied for Bar- Tie on a neat side shot; Soon afterwards a hot drive by White, which was cleared to the boards, was hatted across the goal mouth by Bogardis, and Ironstone pull- ed it in, making the tally 3 to 3. McDonald was benched for slash- ing. Sudbury pulled ahead again when Berthiaume fooled Fisher with another high one. Barrie came right along with lots of scores. Texas was benched for putting Kelly -down with the of his stick, A minute Ironstone made a rank on Bogardis. As the "Single Copies 4 cants . sis0 Per veer'tn advance) The Sudbury Version (Sudbury Star) = _ Sudbury was delirious with de. light last night when the returns were coming in, particularly when the news came that Sud~ bury scored three in the second period and held Barrie scoreless. It was then thought that the green and white boys would capture the group honors, The first final score received was 5 to 4 in favor of Sudbury, but. the official score has been hand- ed out as 4 to 4. It appears that Sudbury notehed-a goal just as the final bell rang, which Sud. bury players claimed as a tally, but which Referee Sproule dis. allowed. This was not known until some time after, however, as the goal had no bearing on the final outcome of the group. Last night's result at Barrie comes as a big surprise to the hockey world, but it will be news to Sudbury fans that'the green and white boys outweigh the Barrie team. When they lined up here last Tuesday the Barrie bunch, if anything, looked the heavier. This would be even more pronounced last night, aa Sudbury was without Hy) Me~ Donald, the big left wing™man. and used Billy McDonald, the midget of both teams, at left wink. Fans who have returned from Rarrie describe the nerve-break. ing finish of the game. The Sudbury team suffered ten pen~ alties all told, as compared with Barrie's "hree. Some of Sud. 's penalties ere justified, however, particular! those of Ironstone, Berthiaume and Kelly, all of whom took a chance to get the man and save a_ goal. Berthiaume was off three times, while Sudbury was without a goal keeper when Ironstone was ruled off in the last period for spilling Bogardis after the latter had skated in on him. Billy Wright was also off with Irons stone, and things looked gloomy for Sudbury in the dying mo~ ments of the game. Sudbury at this time used good tactics, the entire team playing an offensive rather than a defensive game. "Pewaee" Acquin got three of Sudbury's four counters last night and is reported to, have been the star of the game, al~ though every player played the game of his life. Berthiaume got: the other counter, and was pick- ed by the scribes at Barrie as the best man on the ice. This was to"be expected of the Conis- ton lad, but Acquin's reversal of form comes as a welcome sur. prise. He has been a little off color the last two or three games, The forwards all back-checked consistently, while the defence used their bodies with telling effect. Sudbury outplayed Barrie in the first and second periods, Last night's game is described by Manager Donegan, who arriv- ed home at noon today, who com. pares the entire playing perior to the last period of the game here last Tuesday. It was a battle all the way, with Sudbury taking the initiative for 75 per cent of the game. As in Sudbury, the speed of the locals practically decided the contest. The green and white gang were not only able to keep the rubber in Barrie territory most of the time, but the entire line was back with Whe defence on every Barrie attack. There is wonderful harmony and co-operation on the Sudbury team, and this is a pretty hard combination to beat. Harvey Sproule of Toronto was referee. His work is not ag popular with Sudbury players ag was that of Waghorne, so the fans can best draw their own conclusions. It 'is understood that Barrie objected to Wag- the goaler deliberately gave him the butt of stick in the stom- ach and knocked him out. For this grave offence he was given only a short penalty, Barrie, in an effort to win out, kept up the very hottest kind of an attack. Lynch tied the score on a pass from White, who had carried the Puck up the side. Though the locals threw their' whole weight into the final few minutes they could not succeed in wresting the round lead from Sudbury. The Team: Barrie--Goal, Fisher; defence, White, Lynch; centre, Bogardis; right, Reid; left, Rosenfeldt; sub- stitutes, Bertram and Doyle. Sudbury--Goal, Ironstone; de- fense, Berthiaume and' Kelly; centre, Acquin; right, R. Wright; left, W. McDonald; substitute, Wright. - a oT 'Bavo by the W. 8. 8./plan.
