Up to the present they have been pay- ing $10 a month but the increased provincial grants have lowered the per capita cost of education to the town and this has been passed on to students from outside.

The grant to the High School will pe divided 60-40 between the boys and girls respectively to ald them in carrying on their sports, Part of it will go towards the pure chasing of cups and medals for the school champions, to be prelented at the Commencement Exercises in November. The question was brought up by Principal E, H, Graham's report which asked that the Board take over the cost of these awards, as is done in most other schools. Trus- tee Clive Hatch, after ask! how the Athletic Societies financed their activities, suggested that a, direct grant be made, Should Be Encouraged "Sports 'are very necessary," he sald, "and I think we should try to encourage them." Mr. Graham ex- plained that although - there are more girls than boys in the school, the transportation for boys' teams was much more expensive, so the 60-40 split was agreed upon, For the Public Schools the Board has purchased considerable sports equipment, for volleyball, basket ball, baseball, croquet and quoits, and intends to prepare the grounds for skating rinks this winter, This equipment was bought on the request of Principal R. A. Sen- nett, and some of it has already been installed, "Mr, Sennett sald that good use of it is being made. Staffs Complete Other purchases approved by the Board included books for the High School library and scientific equip- ment.
