Composite School
!Continued from Page One.)
shop facilities in each of the indiv- idual high schools.
Probable courses to he taught in
the proposed composite school
would include machine shop, Wood
working, electrics, drafting and
auto mechanics' as well as cornuter-
cial courses.
Many Problems
Dr, MeXittbon, a delegate to the
Clinton 'meeting, said that it aP-
neared such a school plan would
create many problems, and would
not necessarily provide the type
of education that would be best
suited to the children of the area.
Both he and other members of
the delegation explained that one
problem facing the district high
scliools is the fact that 42 per cent
of students who enter the school,
drop out at the end of Grade X.
If the composite sdhool would be
of benefit to these students, it
would be 'worthwhile. However,
'the board members who attended
the Clinton meeting seemed to feel,
that this group of students Would
not receive a great deal of bene-
fit as the requirements for entry
to the composite school would be
such that each student would have
to have Obtained a 65 per cent av-
erage in academic standing to the
end of the tenth grade, and this
would include many of the stu-
dents who are dropping out be-
cause they have not been able to
attain such an average.
Costs Indefinite
On the matter of costs :for such
a sehdol, information wa.s rather
limited, but it appears that ex-
tensive grants for capital outlay
would he available, with some as-
sistancesrees anticipated from federal o
If it were necessary to issue de-
bentures, then the home area
would be responsible for them,
with the other municipalities con-
trihuting their share. No figure
as to estimated cost was given.
However, it was noted that depart-
ment officials felt the composite
Reboot would have at least 120o
pupils and five shops. (The Wing-
ham school has capacity for about
750 pupils and is now nearly a mil-
lion dollar institution. Shops are
one of the most expensive types of
classrooms to equip, so it would
appear that the proposed school
would in all probability he well
over a million dollars).
Principal 11, E. Madill of the
Wirigham school, who also attend-
ed the meeting, explained that it
has' been found that drop-out av-
erages in vocational schools run to
the • same percentage as in high
schools at the end of two years.
He suggested that this standard
of academic training would he re-
quired by those pupils who enter
vocational ,courses in order for
them to make favorable progress in
shop courses.
Leslie Fortune, another ,board
member who attended the Clinton
meeting,' pointed out that trans-
portation would he a major prob-
lem. It was indicated, he said, that
each district which joined the pro-
posed composite school plan would
he responsible for transporting
such students to the central school.
If the school were located at Clin-
ton or Seaforth he suggested that
students would have to leave home
shortly after 6 o'clock in the mor-
ning in order to arrive at the
school by 9 ,o'clock.
A number of thoSe attending ex-
pressed the thought that if aca-
demic standards as outlined were
required, it would mean that the
42 per cent of students who drop
out by the end of Grade X would
receive very little benefit.
A number of the municipal rep-
resentatives expressed their doubts
about the idea, after quizzing the
loa,rctmeers on various aspects
of
i
the plan.
Most of the • men felt that, not
enough information Was available
at the moment and in this regard
John Hanna, who was also in at-
tendance suggested that a delega-
tion should be appointed to visit
the Department of Education to
further investigate the subject.
A. D. MaaWilliam explained that
another meeting' had been called
for May 9th in Clinton, at which
time it was hoped that more would
be learned, and that those instigat-
ing the meeting Would require an
answer from the various districts
Involved as to their opinions on
the plan.
After considerable clisciiesion the
group decided that as many as pos-
'sible should attend the May 9th
meeting and that a delegation be
appointed to Make the trip to To-
ronto.
The meeting then appointed A,
McItinnon, reeve of Culittis, A. D.
Smith, reeve of Turriaberry, George
MeCutcheon, reeve of Brussels,
H, 16, MeXhiney, mayor of Wing-
ham and A, D. atanWilliain and
11. S. Hetherington of the high
School Ward as a delegation for
the visit to Qiieerl's Park,
