HIGH SCHOOL MAY
BE ENLARGED
New Subjects Must Be Started for
1938-39 Term
To accommodate all the classes un
der the new curriculum for high
schools and/ collegiate institutes, it
may be necessary for the High
School Board to build an addition to
the High School. Although the board
have not considered this matter as
yet some schools in this district are
already making plans to enlarge their
schools. Kincardine will build an ad
dition and the Goderich School Board
are obtaining estimates for the re
modelling of their collegiate.
The new course of study includes
shop work and domestic economy and
it is owing to lack of space for the
teaching of these subjects that it may
be found necessary to enlarge o<ur
high school. These subjects are not
being introduced here this year but
will be compulsory for the 1938 and
1939 terms.
