wilkes secretary elmer dan iels trcas don lewis ken wagg equipment mothercraft fear department plans to destroy stouffviile school we think it is time for col drew and his cabinet to call a halt to the promoters in the department of education who are dedicated to the task of destroying the smaller schools in this province it is without doubt one of the most damaging sug gestions for the smaller ontario towns that has been thought up in a long time the men behind the scheme are former teachers now engaged in the department and are spending much time going up and down the concession lines preaching the de struction of high schools of the value of the one we have in stouffviile unless the local board display real energy in light ing the damaging movement thy will find that our school will be snuffed out overnight or as soon as schools the size of cas tles can be built along yoiige street 7 a department official is credited with making the statement only monday that stouffviile wouldnt have a chance to take in clavemont or any part of pickering to form a stouffviile school area and that they hoped to snuff out the opposition in stouff viile to closing out this school snuff is right and that is just what will happen unless an appeal is made over the heads of these men in the educational dept the idea is to hem stouffviile in so small an area that it will ultimately be snuffed out the thought of destroying the school community life of stouffviile is so shocking that one wonders where the members of the legislature and the premier stand on the issue which our school board should bring to their attention immediately it should not be left to a few heads in the department to force their whims on the public under their scheme educational costs will be higher schools will be far removed from each other or at least vast areas will not have a school and whole communities will lose the community school spirit they now enjoy farmer killed when death ends long horses
