farmers are opposed to public school areas chiefly ibecause they fear it will lead to one big school and subsequent heavy transporta tion costs as the high school areas are proving recently whitchurch

township to administer and regulate elemen tary school education in the town ship many inquiries have beer- made as to the operation of such an area and the ipurpose of this article is to acquaint interested persons in the township with the functioning of such a school board the present administration of rural schools is iby a board of three trustees this system was establish ed on recommendation of egerton ryeron over a century ago and was designed to meet the trend of education at that time today it still serves a useful purpose but it has been found that under a township school area where an elected same as the township council board of five persons administer the affairs of all the schools in the area more uniform ity prevails when the toylaw is passed the existing sections are dissolved at the end of that year and the term of office of the present trustees expires at the annual nomination meeting of the township nomina tions are received for persons to act on

showing for any school principal newspaper cup returns to stouffville it was mark twain who said when he read an account of his own death in the newspapers the report is greatly exaggerated we felt much the same way after announcing that the clark memorial cup donated to the weekly newspapers in the pro vinces of ontario and quebec for best allround weekly in towns of 1500 and under had again been awarded to the tribune after announcing our retirement- from the contest in other words we suggested the tribune was a dead issue so far as this competition was concerned we pointed out that stouffville now exceeded by one hundred the population stipulation but the judges had evidently completed their work throughout the year toy checking each issue against those of other weekly publications in this class and declared the tribune in their opinions stood tops we appreciate the findings and are happy to toring stouffville into prominence again through radio broadcasts last saturday and sunday and by mention in 500 or 700 newspapers across canada just what is going to toe done about the population ibarrier we do not know nearly every town and vil lage has grown in size in recent years and the population restric tion may be raised this is a matter for the executive to deter mine tout in the meantime the beautiful clark cup reposes in the office of the tribune we would have no regret in toeing disqualified on the population requirement since we are in possession of the knowledge of where the tribune stands in this big field as previously stated the clark memorial cup has been held toy the tribune for seven years or all but three years of the nine since the late jos atkinson offered it for annual competition the annual meeting of the ontarioquebec division of the cwna held in buffalo in con junction with the new york state weekly newspaper association was the first time the local associ ation ever met outside canada mr chas nolan was in attendance and received the award made to this newspaper the announcer explain ed that inasmuch as towns had grown beyond the limits of certain classses the paper had been judged on each issue through the past year and little or nothing could be done where it appeared a town had increased in population they said that practically all rural places were up tout papers would remain in the classification they were placed last year there were three trophies awarded the fort erie times was adjudged the paper with best editorial page and the bowman- ville statesman received the silver for
