concern ing the campaign for a consolidated school district comprising ss no 4 uxbridge webbs school and ss no 13 pickering claremont school several meetings were held in each section in an effort to acquaint the people with the propo sition the arguments brought out in tavor of the idea as applied to these two sections were as follows 1 the school buildings in both sections have been condemned and it will be necessary lor both sections to build during 1923 2 the cost of building two separate schools will be greater ow ing to the fact that there will be no building grants payable by the gov ernment the consolidated school would receive a grant of 12000 from the government for building purposes 3 the maintenance cost will be greater in the case of two schools because substantial giants that are payable to consolidated schools will not be available 4 it was proven by the finan cial statement submitted that the total cost under consolidation would be about one mill on the dollar cheaper 5 under consolidation a first- class school would be assured this school would comprise a graded public school of three class rooms und a high school department of two class rooms this would make an educational plant of the highest order it would give instruction from the prinary gades to the matriculation and entrance to nor mal standard indeed it would be a school that without doubt would be unequaled in the county of- on tario and the cost would be less than the two school plan 6 the big advantage would come to the people living in the ux bridge district because these child ren would all be transported to the school they would arrive at the school dry and rested and fit for their days work the transporta tion would be made by motor bus in summer and by sleigh in winter 7 the sniall children would be able to attend school every day that is an important argument be cause the child who attends school regularly is the one that makes the best progress every mother knows that her small children cannot walk one mile or one mile and a half to school in the winter and so she keeps them at home she is quite right about that too 8 it was noticeable and also it was an encouraging sign even with the adverse vote that the men who are the strongest supporters of the consolidated school idea are without doubt the most prominent men in the district duncan mor gan an exwarden of the county of ontario did his best- to secure a fav orable vote his only desire was to secure greater educational advant ages for the children of his district that is the idea of a big man no matter where he may live and it is not much wonder that he was chosen by his fellows to fill the premier position in the county owen davies reeve of the township of uxbridge also gave the project his benediction the only argument offered against was that of transportation some of the people seemed to think that it would be difficult to get the child ren to school during the winter i maysay that i have visited consoli dated schools in northern wiscon sin where the winters are much more severe and where the snow fall is much greater than in ontario and tho vans never missed a day indeed the winters offered no ob stacles that could not bo easily over come it seems to be the unknown that the webbs people fear rather than a real knowledge of the diffi culties when one considers the very ad vantages of the consolidated school in both efficiency and cost one won ders why the vote in the webbs dis trict was so very niuca adverse i am convinced that if any progress is to bo made in the establishment of consolidated school districts in on tario some needed amendments must bo made fo the consolidated schools act we are simply follow ing in the footsteps of many of the northern states of the american union who many years ago discov ered that it was impossible to form a consolidated school section by means of a separate vote in each school scetion they have adopted other methods of formation and if we in ontario are to make any progress we must discard the sep arate vote system and try something new yours very truly r a hutchison ips alleged robbers identified locally on wednesday last week mr jacob boadway druggist and mr edwin lloyd a farmer living just east of the town were summoned to toronto to view pictures of the two alleged bank robbers being held in new york who is is believed are part of a gang that robbed the stand ard bank here last october of over 100000 in cash and securities our two townsmen went up to provincial police headquarters and saw the photographs of these men under powerful magnifying glass mr boadway at once recognized one of the twain as having visited his store the day prior to the robbery when he asked the druggist for tincture of buchu leaf an herb very seldom called for he had stated to mr boadway that he pro cured it in texas once also in ottawa and found it excellent for an inward trouble he suffered from the pictures of both men were declared by mr lloyd to be the like ness of two men he saw across the road from standard bank the day preceding the robbery there were three or four and as the faces were strange and because of something peculiar about their actions mr lloyd took a second look at them and is satisfied two of them are the men held by new york police the statements or affidavits of mr boadway and mr lloyd were to be in new york last saturday and will likely be the means of landing the prisoners into canada very shortly without them the police on this side the line were powerless to have the men extradit ed owing to an alibi in ravor of one prisoner drawn up in texas and signed by a sheriff there declaring the one prisoner was serving sen tence in texas at the time both the mount forest and stouffville rob beries occurred who can help us indianapolis ind jan 17 1923 dear mr nolan i was glad to see in the tribune the beginning of an early history of stouffville i have for years thought that the local paper should take this up i am surprised to read that so far back as 1851 there was such a sizable community there i have oftened wondered when stouff ville will be 10ft years old hope youll keep on prodding and poking into the past until you find out when was it first called stouffville or stdufferville if early deeds or other papers denoting sales or trans fer of property were filed at toron to perhaps david stouffer would look into them and get your history started at the beginning govern ment grants of lands to settlers must be on file somewhere perhaps at ottawa some of the stouffers may have valuable information fqr you from memory or letters and papers preserved my own memory goes back to bobby laidlaw and his zoo wheelers elevator john bray mccallums the tannery jacob stouffer not sure of samuel fenton postmasterbut recall the boys think george mckinley was first postmas ter i remember the brick house of old dr freel as we used to call him to distinguish him from his young son can recall hiram yakes hotel but cant quite get back to matthew flints general store do not remember queens arms hotel but do remember queens can re call johnny bruels and mr rode rick also ed wheeler his store and his two daughters have a faint recollection of dr lloyd so youll have to hunt up other people older than i am to get the facts that are needed yours truly henry s obrien measured in miles through the courtesy of our local agent mr john hodgins we ascer tain that to handle all the freight sent from the local station for the six months period ending dec 31 1922 it would require a string of freight cars reaching one mile and to handle freight received during the same period a string of freight cars reaching two miles would be necessary stouffville is in the heart of one of the wealthiest agri cultural sections in ontario and the amount of farm produce grain etc shipped from here in a year by steam road and motor truck would easily pass the million mark
