This he insists calls for a drastic revision of its education al policy Serving his third term as reeve and fifth in council of this York county municipality with a of over Reeve thinks lion J minister of education is condemned by the blue books of his own department In examining the last report of department the reeve said I notice that the average cost per pupil In the elementary schools Is Back in Is was there is a difference here of 11858 the government today Is granting us only per pupil more for extra costs Last year wo received ox- served as lrft pupil now we do get 2 more But It would ho more like It If he would Increase the per pupil grant by 180 What we should bo getting Is not a per cent increase but something like per cent the reeve said To sum up reeve suggests that Dr talk In terms of costs which everyone can under stand rather than a few figures which tell only part of the story Education is the main concern In the reeve explains because cents of every tax dol lar is spent on the townships 22 schools he went on in- chiding Dr Dunlop knows that teachers salaries have increased But the departments allowance on what is known as the approv ed portion of the salaries has not kept pace The province is al ways claiming that it allows the municipalities more money for roads and schools Possibly so but the increase is never propor tionate to rise in the costs For years the provincial per pupil grant stood at Today It Is 22 The municipality now pays 10508 net per pupil as compared to 53 in said tho the new families arrive in this country from Europe The province calls the muni cipalities on the carpet and warns them that if they build any new schools they must be constructed the oldtime basis not a cent lor auditoriums libraries gym nasiums so on They must be cut to the bone Given its own way the pro vince eventually will compel the municipalities to tell the new comers Better clear out You may he industrious people intel ligent and thrifty but if you come here to raise your families we will have to build schools The government that invited you to to Ontario doesnt seem to be able to find the money The 20thcentury wont be long to Canada continued Mr if we spend tho last part of it haggling over educa tional costs cutting out auditori ums libraries and gymnasiums from our schools CREDIT GOES TO AURORA MAYOR Auroras Mayor Henderson is to be congratulated for his initiative in calling together heads of municipali ties to discuss the districts water problems Up to the present time municipal councils have been running hi tight circles trying to find answers to their local water problems giving little consideration to what might be done on a cooperative basis For some time this news paper has urged municipalities to join forces and find the solution to their common problems The meeting in Aurora last night is the first indication of action being taken in that direction and it goes to the Aurora mayor for making the first move Possibly this fresh approach to tine problem will lead to more operation in other municipal matters and a response to modern challenges that face the whole district The gap left by the limitations of county government can be filled by this Form of cooperation First Game Of OHA Finals Im i At Newmarket Arena Tonight The Junior fin als are on with Newmarket entered for the first time since the
