The following introductory words in regard to the Education Week from Mr. A. W. Pickering, chairman of the Timmins High School Board are parâ€" ticularly . timely: There are no doubt many citizens who feel that they have little or no voice in the administration . of . OuT schools. The members of your boards ‘‘School Board, Timmins). \ During this week when attention is being given to the importance of ucation, it would not be amiss to menâ€" tion at least, the existance of the School Boards in our system of eduâ€". cation.. These citizensas members of your Boards, are necessarily in close touch with more phases of our eduâ€" cational system than it is usually pos-‘ sible for .the> average person to be. ' For this reason alone they can heartily endorse the idea of stressing the 1m-l portance of education in our lives toâ€" .. Endorses Education Week (By A. W.

Most problems can be solved, but only when they are brought to light. Your board members will at all times be willing to interpret your wishes in school matters.

Just . to survey the school buildings that have been provided for use in this locality would clearly indicate that some conâ€" sideraable effort has, in the past, been made in this regard and a grand spirit of coâ€"operation, together with appreâ€" clation . of education, must have exâ€" isted to make this possible. It has been said that, education is a debt owed by the present to the fuâ€" ture generation. May we then at this time reffect on this thought, and pause long enough to get a new appreciation of the privileges in the way of educaâ€" tion that are ours. If we do this, it will give us a sense of our responsibilâ€" ity that will lead us to still greater success. â€" _ _ smsB3 Red Shield Packs Two More Boxes for Overseas The regular monthly meeting of the Red Shield was held on Monday evenâ€" ing in the Salvation Army Hall,: and was opened by the singing of a hymn, followed by the repeating of the Lord‘s conveners. c s s Mrs. McChesney specially welcomed Red Shield members from Golden City and South Purcupine who attended the meeting. a "a A _ A Ne aa Benediction, after which two. bOxeS were packed and labelled, one for the Servicemen and the other for Civilian Endorses Purpose Behind Education (Nov. 5th to lith) and Urges Increasing Interest in Education.
