school pupils from the ajax area for the duration of the war in order to insure that the children of parents employed in war indus tries should not be deprived of a secondary education mr rutherford

taxes from the crown lands at ajax towards the cost of ajax pupils attending high school collegiates or vocational schools and as parents of such pupils are not assessed arid as ontario county council did pay under protest cost of ajax pupils attending such schools in 1910 the council strongly protests the pay ment of the cost for ajax pupils and that such schools should look to the pupils
