Plan trade school talks Five high school boards in Huron have agreed to attend a joint meeting sometime this month to discuss a county vo- cational school, farm union of. ficials revealed this week. Robert Taylor, Varna, said the ration is making arrange- ments tohave a senior depart- ment p t ment official attend the meet- ing to outline the new provin- cial program of financing voca- tional training facilities. Mr. Taylor emphasized, how- ever, that the project is very much In the discussion stage and that any premature judg- ment of the union's action might be detrimental to nego- tiations, He pointed out, as an ex- ample, that consideration would have to he given as to whether it would be in the best interest of the county to ope- rate a technical school, trade school, or to provide extended vocational training in the ex- isting secondary schools. "We'd like the officials to approach the problem. with open minds," he said. "We have no definite 'proposal to make other than we feel that more practical training should be given to Huron students who are not benefitting from the academic courses being provided in our high schools at the present time." • The meeting which the union hopes to arrange this month will be designed to give the boards an opportunity to ac- quaint' themselves with the de- tails of the new provincial pro- gram and to discuss generally 'the problem which exis;s in Huron. "There will be no' ma- jor decision arrived at," he. in. dBated. ..
