thursday mar 5 1970 the tribune page 3 hamlet study permit victoria square population gr to reach 433 4stage development markham twp an additional 56 new homes should be permitted in the hamlet of victoria square raising the maximum population to 433 it was agreed at a meeting of markham twp planning board feb 26 at present the area divided by 18th avenue and don mills road contains 50 residential units and a population of 181 the section outlined for development lies east of don mills and will be serviced by an extension of victoria street one exit and entrance onto don mills is proposed from mortson street phases 1 2 and 3 run parallel to an ontario hydro power line while phase 4 is established to the south and west no new commercial lots are set out in the plan it was agreed that such applications should be considered as they arise the last building permit for a new house was issued in september 1966 while there are no schools within the hamlet education is provided at buttonville kindergarten to grade 2 no 4 at cone 3 grades 3 to 6 mark 11 unionville grades 7 and 8 and bayview high school grades 9 to 13 the report indicates that buttonville school could be closed by the fall of 1971 additional development to the west of don mills is not advocated since ac cesses to and from this main highway artery would be required the 5page brief was prepared by director of planning kunio hidaka in cooperation with planning assistant cm davies board member harry maynard pointed to the demand for good residential building lots if theyre put on the markettheyll sell like hot cakes he said in explaining the reason for restricted hamlet growth mr hidaka said the township was acting on the advice of both mr spooner and mr mckeough who frowned on residential buildup minus adequate water and sewerage services perhaps we shouldnt encourage this kind of growth suggested board chairman napier simp son perhaps we should let it die mr maynard objected victoria square is a very tightly knit com munity lie said it would die very hard deputyreeve anthony roman argued in favor of even additional expansion he termed the 4stage development of 56 homes as very unrealistic he suggested too that some provision be made for shopping facilities air hidaka said even an ultimate population of 433 would not be sufficient to support this kind of en terprise mr roman argued however that the church and the community park tended to attract persons into the area from outside and population figures of gray coach lines new stouffville agency towne restaurant 151 main

unwise back in the late 1800s when john ruskin knglish social reformer wrote these lines it still is ruskin wrote of the market place of his day but what he said applies equally to our times and to everythlnk from automobiles to safety pins he said it is unwise to pay too much but its worse to pay too little when you pay too much you lose a little money that is all when you pay too little you sometimes lose everything because the thine you bought was in- capable of doing the thing it was bought to do the common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot it cant be done if you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run and if you do that vou will have enough to pay for something better to aaniiro customers an automobile dealer

eldred king argued against com mercial outlets fronting on this road his motion that the study be accepted was approved to study new school systems york city a royal military college at the secondary level was one description of a proposed hard school the feasibility of which is to be studied by staff of the york county board of education the board asked staff to have the study prepared by next september and if found possible and desirable the school could be prepared for opening in the fall of 1971 possibly in richmond hill high school the term hard as ap plied to the school means highly structured in all areas curriculum disipline dress and deportment it was ex plained it would be a very demanding school explained director of education sam chapman in putting the proposal before the board there is a percentage of people who are concerned about the direction all schools are taking we have no right not to serve these people the emphasis in the school would be on discipline and on self- discipline it was ex plained selfdisipline in this context means the demands a person makes on himself the ex pectations a person creates of himself because of the environment in which he finds himself in effect entering the school would be like entering into a contract and the student would have to agree to the conditions established by the staff and students of the school for this reason it will be necessary to give people a choice as to whether or not they wish their children to attend the school richmond hill high school was suggested as an ideal place for the ex- open class plan

available to bayview secondary school extra tran sportation costs for those who did not choose to at tend the school were seen as the only additional costs involved this could become a school for scholarship suggested trustee jack hadfield i think this is what it will become replied mr chapman vicechairman arthur starr suggested hat the board should also be in vestigating financial ex periments to find ways to save money mr chapman suggested that the board could study an operation with a vastly different number of pupils per teacher perhaps 50 or 00 there is no research i know of that states clearly that the quality of the learning experience im proves with a smaller pupilteacher ratio he said over the last 15 years he noted the number of teachers for each 100 pupils has in creased 50 per cent which is one of the many reasons for increased costs in education at the same time the behaviour of teachers has not changed a great deal with 15 students a teacher behaves much the same as with 25 or 29 whitchurch twp concern over the open class system at whit church highlands school has been expressed by some parents several feel that their children are not doing as well as

to work but for others it doesnt parents have made the following comments the children are free free to do nothing and thats what they do there is little or no attention paid to spelling or grammar
