Perhaps this is o good thing, because never in. the history of education have we had so many conflicting views amongst thi tion system, and within the e public, within the educa- minds of thoughtful educa- tors than we have at the present time.

It is, then, the duty of the public to take an interest in the ‘schools of our nation: so. they may be better .in- formed and, therefore, better equipped to help shape, the destiny of the education of our young people.

Dr. Fowler stated the meri- cal staff had the co-operation of the Board in a most sincere way which had worked un and done a’ tremendous amount of work for the Hospital, The L.A. now maintains a service cart and at Christmas provided decorations for the wards, also baskets of fruit and nuts. $ The Chairman touched brief- ly on.the landscaping of the srounlss saying. when the project ploye:s, the main at this fime being s scarcity of laboratory’. techniclans. “The Board has endeavored to inter- it should make for very attractive area.

He felt the hospital with an 80 per cent occupancy was already reaching its maxi- mum and there would be an al- most immediate need for emer- gency accommodation. He felt it was.time to start planning for a second storey.
