According to the views of a Deâ€" partment representative, if the plan of the Consultative Commitâ€" tee becomes effective it will mean that the High School in Beamsville and Grimsby would, for the present continue to function much as they do now, as far as lower school subjects (Grades IXâ€"Xâ€"XI) go. It is probable that the teaching of upper school subjects would be divâ€" kded between the High Schools, in Beamasville and Grimsby; each school would spectalize in certain subjects so that a greater variety of subjects would be available. Pupils would be provided with transportation by school b u s, | where needed. _cation has sought for years to find a way to make these subjects \available to our students. In the !hu 1930‘s the Board‘s requisition for the necessary funds to provide , these subjects, was cut by action of { the Council. Later, when the enâ€" \roiment had increased, the Board approached the Department of Exucation seeking permission to | enguge an architect to formulate ! plans to enlarge the High School ‘and provide the necessary space which would be needed. The departâ€" | ment refused the necessary permisâ€" sion because, in the face of mountâ€" ing costs of school building proâ€" grams throughout Ontario, the Deâ€" partment found itself without sufâ€" lflclent funds. The local Board is quite consciou# of the importance of these practical subjects, partiâ€" |\ cularly with regard to boys who + have little aptitude for academic , subjects but who would welcome , Instruction in practical subjects (Submitted by Grimsby Board of Education) As was explained in the article in The Independent last week, the duty of the Lincoln County Conâ€" sultative Committee is to organize the County into larger and fewer High School Districts so that the best possible High School Educaâ€" tion may be available to its studâ€" ents and that costs may be controlâ€" led. The Committee is now engaged in an effort to organize the comâ€" munities of West Lincoln, viz., the Towns of Beamsville and Grimsby and the Townships of North Grimsby, Clinton and Louth, into such an enlarged High School disâ€" trict.
