Original Toronto Star caption: Only 89 students attend the 6-room Cartwright High School in Blackstock; and staff members believe it may be the smallest high school in Ontario. Although the red-brick structure built in 1925 is without frills; its academic record is envied. Last year; we had 12 graduates in Grade 13 and 6 of those were Ontario Scholars; principal Gordon Paisley; talking to the bus driver; says.

Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.
