twentythree years death came with startling -sudden- ness to andrew story lot 23 con 8 pickering on thursday evening last week only the day of his death he had been in claremont transacting business as usual little thinking that before the day closed the great summons would come to him v the late mr story was born on tne 7th o pickering 67 years ago and for 45 years lived on the place on which he died besides his wife he is survived by four daughters and two sons all but one son being un married needless to say mr storys death was a great shock to his friends and a severe blow to the fam ily the funeral on sunday afternoon took place to the claremont union cemetery mr howlett of the inter national bible students association conducting the service which was largely attended the overcrowded condition of our continuation school has been repor- i ted in these columns from time to time but matters are now coming rapidly to a head at a regular meeting of the school board last fri day evening a letter from inspector mills was read by the secretary which we reproduce to show the citi zens the question which the board and the ratepayers must deal with promptly no action was taken at this meeting but it was decided to hold a special meeting on may 1st when the matter will occupy the en tire thought of the board the in spectors letter reads as follows 1 my report last yeai contained the following while the atten dance has increased greatly there has been no corresponding increase in equipment to avoid heavy ex penditure the board should include in the estimates annually for at least five years 100 for additions to equipment 1 can only repeat what i have said above and further grants on equipment will depend on the action of the board 2 the teachers room now used as a science room was described by a member of the board as a make shift but it is not even good enough for that it is a mere pretence owing to the condition of your library science equipment and science room the pupils are not receiving even a fair training in english and science it can only be described as an effort to keep the pupils at school so that so much more county money may be obtained the condition is not fair to the pupils 3 the attention of the board was drawn last year to the necess ity of providing an additional teacher but the board has taken no action it will he necessary for the board to take steps either to reduce the attendance or to provide an additional teacher the board is under no obligation to accept pupils from ontario county the future of the school is in the hands of the board and if it deems it to be just in the interests of the children and of the village it is quite at liberty to reduce the status to that of a one- teacher school 4 as there may be doubt whe ther the present attendance will be maintained it might be advisable for the board to rent 3ome suitable building that may be fitted up tem porarily for classrooms if the pre sent proportion of county pupils should be maintained the county would pay about sixty per cent of the increased cost of maintenance oesides paying a larger proportion of the annual debentures for the cost of the school if an additional teacher were engaged the continua tion school would occupy three classrooms instead of two and the county would be liable for three- sixes of eighty per cent of the de bentures instead of twosixes if the classrooms were fitted up in the basement the county would not be liable for any increase in its share of the debenture indebtedness in my opinion the best solution of the present difficulty is to rent two rooms for a period of two years and in the meantime the board should make an effort to add to the equip ment both in library and science apparatus as the present class rooms would not be so crowded it will be possible to use one of these rooms both as a classroom and as a laboratory if it is at all possible to rent rooms outside the basement should not be used as a classroom in spite of anything that can be done it is cold damp badly lighted and ill ventilated sesides this the little ones need these rooms for play rooms during bad weather dont split your ticket

mackenzie teacher the mistake of farmers or others of not employing properly qualified persons to draw leases or other j documents developed a most inter- 1 esting court ease in toronto last- week from the township of whit- church it was a case of a young girl who made out a farm lease in manuscript omitting an important clause in writing a second copy his honor judge denton sat on the case and found for the plaintiff in the fall of 1923 alvin cowie rented his farm to george fockler for a term of 5 years from april 1st 1924 with a proviso for termina tion at end of any year by giving 8 months notice the lease was written by cowies daughter and signed by both parties later a cony was made by the daughter for fockler but in making this copy the e months clause was omitted cowie gave notice in july 1924 to fockler to quit the farm on april j 1st 1925 and in october cowie went on with his fall plowing about this time fockler discovered that the no tice clause was not in his copy of the lease and ordered cowie oit and then refused to give up possession on april 1st with the result that the matter had to come before the county judge cowie his daughter and one rus sell hill who was present when the lease was drawn gave evidence that theeight months notice clause was in the lease the night it was drawn fockler his brother father and geo harmon who had signed it as wit nesses swore that there was no such clause in the lease ralph conner and edgar menelly gave evidence for fockler swearing that cowie had told them he had given a straight lease for 5 years to fockler and there was to be no notice in rebuttal cowie called arthur topper who swore he was present when the notice was given in july ad fockler said he was expecting the said notice john windsor giv ing evidence for cowie stated that fockler had told him of the eight months notice and later admitted getting the notice w h toddalso called by cowie stated that fockler did not know that his copy had not the required notice clause in it until he informed him ot this in novem ber 1924 it was immediately after this information was given him by todd who happened to read over focklers copy that fockler ordered cowie off the farm a number of other witnesses were subpoened but not called the judge found that the lease drawn on the first occasion was the proper lease and that this eight months notice clause had been pro perly put in after being discussed by the said parties and was in the lease the night it was signed by them and had not been added subsequently as alleged by fockler he also found that the notice had been properly given and that fockler must vacate the said farm and pay 25 towards cowies costs of the hearing before him blazing the way for a better park never tefore have the
