should be provided a vault would be tlie ideal thing councillor cook said he was open to learn all he could about municipal life and would keep both eyes open on all proceedings at the council meeting on mon day evening it was annouced by councillor walter brilliuger that the village would not be liable for cost of education of local pupils now attending the markham high school whose subjects are being taught in their own village school through dissatisfaction with the progress of the stouffville school violent protest was made to the board last year which went more or less uuheaded with the result that it is said no less than five pupils from stouffville alone left the school entirely and are receiving their education in markham the markham board will bill tho county for these pupils at the rate of around 40 or 45 per head and the county will collect half this cost from stouffville again where the village does not provide fourth form work the local tax payers in gener al must bear the cost but in in stances where the work is taught locally the ruling is obtained that the childs parent is liable if they send their children to outside schools it is a situation that has never occurred here before and while the duty of the council is to protect the ratepayers in general the school board is placed in a rather akward position also the onus is on them to keep the pupils fn the home school as a result of the ruling obtain ed from the deputy minister of education parents of these pupils may have to put up around 10 to 12 for each child sent away in this manner the exact liability of the parent we imagine will be the difference between educating the pupil at stouffville as compared with markham with the churches sxouffvllle presbyterian rev v h fuuer ba sunday january

and following tho recent thaw the birds wore found in tho creek right on the steckley farm whore they had been confined all tho while due to a coating of ice having frozen over the narrow stream of spring water jack frost had so arranged matter that the geese were able to propel up and down tho stream and feed on tho grass along the banks mr steckloy must have suspected the geese might be encased under tho ice as it was through one of the holes ho made which finally freed the birds from their unusual winter quarters all but one of the six or seven came out allvo and prosperous looking
