They had had to increase the staff and to add to the accommo- dation, so the Board felt it a duty to enquire why this was necessary. while there was little increase in popula- tion. They found that until recent years mid-winter exams. had been held. As adding one year to the at- tendance of pupils in the public schools costs the ratepayers about $10,000, it was the duty of the trus-p tees to see if this could be avoided.` Enquiry of the principals disclosed - the fact that these exams. had been discontinued at the request of the Board, inuenced to some extent, no doubt, by theopinion of a former principal of the B.C.I. that pupils were being passed into that school 4 at too early an age.` As opposed to 3 that,. they had the opinidfa present principal, who saysthat the pupils cannot come to him too young, provided they are able to pass the exams., for they are then better able to grasp the wider range of subjects; taken up there. This opinion was supported by the High School In-0 spector, who also stated that this gaged in the work of secondary ed- ucation. The Public School Inspector was interviewed regarding these mid- winter exams. and he agreed that it was a step in'the right direction. So a resolution was passed in favor of At this time Inspector Garvin said that the Board was act- ing within its rights. This measure was passed in October, 1921, and the teachers called attention to the hard- ship of holding theexams. at the end of the term on such short notice. Consequently it was decided not to hold them until January, 1923. Il'l\u..-u. ..'II 44.3.. 53...". nu. 1.-.! LL- of the ` l ! At `its last reg-1;l;tr meeting, .Bar-t rie Lodge of Perfection.

He declared that he -'was a moderate man and as anxious `as any to save the church from dis- iruption. He took exception to the attitude of many Unionist leaders towards those opposing the move . ment and held that the epithets being applied to them were quite out _`of place. In connection with thenc- ltion of the Assembly,he maintained _.that when the original vote was tak- lien the Assembly had pledged them- .]se1ves to the Church that they would ?not proceed to consummate the un- iion unless the bulk of the people [were behind it. Quoting the gures, ` ihe showedithat the union vote fell lconsiderably below half. He cited iopinions of a number of leaders in `the Church who emphatically declar- ed that the General Assembly should not try to force its will on the people. , Mr. Farley pointed out that there had ._come into the Church about 100,000 . members since the last vote had been taken and also _that quite a number of soldiers and sailors had had no op- portunity to vote on the matter. It was claimed by some that the urgen- Icy of the mission problem demands `immediate action. With reference totthis, the speaker quoted the opin- ion of the Home Mission Superin- itendent for Saskatchewan, pointing to the fact that the needs could bet- ter be served by co-operation rather lthan by organic union. With regard to the argument that the Union would save money, he again qu0te'l this superintendent to show that the going together of the Methodists and Presbyterians in Saskatchewan did not increase the liberality of the. members but has had the opposite effect. . Rev. Dr. Laird also was quot- ied as saying, It (Union) would pos- sibly have a very serious effect on the nances of the Church in the near future.
