Hawkestone has an extra room not being 'used, and to care for the children in Oro ltownship, it is. proposed to establish a con- ` tinuation school at Hawkestone. One teach- ler would be required for the continuation work. The total additional cost to Hawke- stone school section would be around $1700 :per annum, but this does not include cost {of equipment. Half the coat of caretaker, ;fuel, and other expenses would be paid- by the continuation school. The grant from = the Ontario Department of Agricultmre lwould be a. minimum of $400 annually. The township of Oro would have to pay $600 per gear, and the county would have to contri- ute 50 per cent. of the cost of all county `pupils. this being figured at $350 per an- .num, if half the pupils attcndf-ng Hawke- lstone were from other parts of the county. {The net cost to Hawkestone school section ` would therefore amount to only a few hun- l drcd dollars per year. 3 very reasonable cost when the advantages of a continuation school at home is considered.

AN 01.1) SWEETHEART OF MINE I In 1880 Mr. Curtis obtained a transfer to the mechanical depart- {ment at Belleville, due to ill health from7oice work.

L\I./LJ.\.pJ UL] llCl`D`UO Mr. Curtis entered the service on May 4, 1872, at the age of fourteen years, as an apprentice in the Audit `Department of the General Offices at Montreal, and on June 1, 1872, [was transferred to the office of C. J. Brydges, who was then the managing |direc_tor. In that office he -served for eight years and saw many chang- es take place on the old Grand Trunk. It was during this period ithat the rails were changed fromi %broad to narrow gauge and at that gtime engines at Montreal burned {wood and p`eat, which meant contin- 'ual stoking.
