In
speaking
before
the
Prince
Rupert
Rotary
Club
at
Its
luncheon
yesterday.
Mr
O'Neill's
subject
was
that
of
educational
developments
with
particular
reference
to
Prince
Rupert.
"Give
us
a
warm
gymnasium
and
a
playing
field
at
least
large
enough
for
a
football
game
and
we
will
forgive
all
else
at
least
for
the
dura
tlon,"
said
Mr.
O'Neill.
Mr.
O'Neill
described
for
the
benefit
of
his
listeners
the
wretched
unheated
.shed
which
was
complimented
with
the
name
gymnasium
totally
un
suitable
for
the
physical
education
program
or
Indoor
sports
activities
of
the
student
body.
To
provide
even
this
the
students
had
taxed
themselves
tp
raise
the
sum
of
$400.
Even
more
deplorable
were
the
grounds
which
were
a
sore
point
with
the
students
themselves.
Dad
enough
were
the
grounds
before
they
had
been
made
a
dumping
ground
for
building
material.
The
narrow
patch
still
left
was
little
better
than
a
rough
beach
under
water
half
the
year.
Adequate
grounds
were
absolutely
necessary
to
High
School
activities.

type
of

work.
The
speaker,
following
a
gen
eral
discourse
on
modern
trends
and
alms
of
education,
described
tho
thrpp
purricular
routes
of
the
local
school
leading
the

towards
graduation
and
the
Ideals

Second,

Third,

with

option.
The
difficult-
ad
uncertain
times
which
were
now
being
passed
through
were
referred
to
by
Mr.
O'Neill.
Particularly
difficult
was
It
for
the
senior
boys

were
subject

call.
Another
difficulty
was
that
of
