cause for alarm uver the action taken by the local school board last monday evening in plac ing a formal request before the vill age council asking that body to pro vide the sum of 12000 tor the construction and equipment of at east wing to the stouffville schoo building the wing would be 30x40 feet three story high providing three large rooms in all stouffvilles share of a debenture debt for this purpose repaid in equal annual pay ments over a period of 15 years a 2 per em interest would cost the taxpayers 1005 per year this does not mean that taxes would have to be boosted to raise this additional sum however the situation is far happier than that and so far as in creasing the tax rate goes the building of this extension will not actually raise taxation more thn it is going to be raised to send our children elsewhere to be educat ed it is this way there will be retired this summer an annual payment of 500 on one of the original debentures issued at the time the school was put up and this amount would take care of half the new debenture the other half would be saved by reason of stouff ville being able to cut off the cost of educating pupils at markham high school the board here have before them at this time a bill trout markham for something over 500 for this service last term which the village is forced to pay under tne most recent amendments to the school act thus these two items would meet the annual charge tor carrying this proposed 12000 de benture if a contract is given for the new wing it will call for close to is coo but the department of education will provide direct grants that will reduce this to 12000 as we stated at the outset the new wing would provide floor space equal to four and a half standard class rooms the school act now provides every municipality should pay thelull cost of secondary education for children in their municipality and the al ternative to building a wing and carrying on this work locally would he to send our children to some outside school but as we have to pay the total cost it would prove a prohibitive undertaking from every view point the idea of extending our own school appeals as the cheapest and best way out of the difficulty the basement room of the new wing would be given over to teach ing manual training for boys ninety- four per cent of the boys do not as pire to the professions and for them the new course is designed this being a power age with elec tric appliances of every kind and gasolinedriven motors and equip ment on the roads in the shop and on the farm the principles of com bustion in motors and the science of electricity will be among the sub jects taught in the new courses a- long with the use of tools on the main floor the girls will deal in household economics equip ment provided here will include sewing machines electric ovens and the average girl in the secondary school will go out to become a home- maker better equipped than if she had learned trigonometry in a recent announcement made by dr rogers chief inspector of secondary schools he stated that the dept of education had started to rewrite the elementary and second ary curricula because something had to be done about the 91 per lent of pupils who will never enter a profession we have health educat ion social study and domestic science is now being added have been the main cause for the present very awkwark situation though the municipality was also contributory to a great extent through neglect of not having had an audit for several years beth officials aud township are now payiup dearly for their part from the experience others may well take a lesson cheapness is not always the way to faithful service or to success ful economy the w h shaw store township rebuked judge aiiionishcs municipality for small salary iiiid treasurer collingwood enterprise bulletin when sentencing tho extreasurer of euphrasia who admitted a de fault of 11000 in the township funds his honor judge g w morloy took occasion to make sorao timely comment anent the penny wise and pound foolish policy of so many municipalities of engaging in- efficient employees at a mere pittance as salaries in this case the man was paid 175 a year to handle 35- 000 a very meagre salary said the judgo who added i want this to bo published municipalities must bo urged to pay larger salaries to men in positions of trust it is not fair to pay what they are doing now and many of them aside from euphrasia township are very care less about the audit 1 wouid strong- ly urge that outside accountants be hired to audit

kiangsi february 4th li3s dear friends here have we no continuing city might well be my motto and that of many out here in china at this time as you will see this month of february sees me back in loping again after being away for just over a month and who would have uhought that it would have been possible to return in shch a short time but it just brings praise to our god in answering prayer and keeping tho enemy back most of this month has been spent in kian and things there have been very peaceful on the whole there are numbers of students there just now owing to the universities of chekiaug having moved to that place or vicinity the friends there i know will value your prayers as they seek to reach these with the gospel there is a young peoples meeting every sunday afternoon now especially to try and reach these students i left kian on tuesday the 25th travelling by bus to xanchang wondering all the time what circumstances had transpired that i should be summoned so hastily by wire arriving i found my exam papers awaiting me and also a re quest to come here as soon as possible as the soldiers were wanting this house it certainly proved a busy few days i spent wednesday and thursday cramming in the last minute things wrote the exam on friday and saturday preached sun day morning in the chinese service and spoke at the english service in the afternoon monday was ko- nien chinese new year and 1 left by the tuesday morning bus and the lord helped to say that they were please to see me back here would be to put it mildly and truly it was a treat to feel one was really wanted and need ed at this time the chinese arc a wonderful people for standing up under difficulties coming back one would not even dream that things had looked black and that this city had been in the direct line of the japanese march everything is go ing on about as usual including the new year celebrations and from the surface one would not think they were a country facing war it is not surprising that the japanese have come to this point where they are finding it even difficult to hold what they have let alone advance to take more territory we praise god for bearing prayer and pray that china may be able to sustain this rally she has made in the last month some of you may remember in my letter of march 1st last year i told something of the chinese new year festivities and this though not quite as noticeable here has bfen going on this week much earlier this year how sad to think in this time of national need that so much money should he wasted in idolatry will you not join us in praying that during this time of distress and war fare the people may follow their leaders and come to see that salvation can come through none other than god almighty although the japanese advance has been stayed lately there is still the mam- ace from the air i went through an other airraid while in nancbang please remember these friends who are living in such cities in continual suspense now in closing may i thank you for your letters and christmas ro- membrances some of which are just coming through some mention not having written before for fear letters wore not getting through they get through somehow though a little late so please write how eargerly they are waited for at this end thanks remembering psalm 5522 yours in the masters service william w tyler 7223676
