New CHSS co-op program looks promising By Dawn flunking This year Central Huron Secondary School ( CHSS) has a new program called co- operative education. In this program, students go out and work in the community at whichever job they hope to acquire in the future. They work for three hours every other day and they work for free. What they do get out of it is valuable work future job applications, develops skills for future employment and it develops maturi- ty, self-confidence and responsibility. To the employer it provides personal satisfaction in offering assitance to young people, offers an opportuity to train, assess and recruit future employees, provides a means to directly influence the content of courses taught in school to meet local employment needs, and it provides variety experience which helps them- to. -:decide Iy f?r 1 interest fatAiployees involved in train - whether they like what they are doing or mg students. ^ •� whether they should move on to something else.

The book tells the story of the railroad cars that travelled throughout Northern On- tario and brought education to the isolated children of miners, trappers, lumbermen and the railroad section workers. For 40 years the railways and the Depart- ment of Education cooperated in this unique venture that gathered hundreds of children out of the bushland into the converted railroad car that stood on a siding for several days at a time. The rail car, half school room and half liv- ing quarters, became the center of light and life for the peoples of the North. The teacher and his family brought not only books, maps and school supplies, but movie projectors, bingo games, prizes, skis and ice skates. Mr. Schuessler told the school on wheels story in an hour long radio documentary for CBC radio eight years ago. He and his wife, Mary, have now put together this history in print with photographs taken during the school car era. The book focuses on the best known of the school car teachers, Fred Sloman. Known as the dean of the school car teachers, Tvlr. Sloman was one of the first of two teachf-s who began this teaching experiment in 1926. His teaching career spanned the lifetime of the school on wheels project that ended in 1967. Karl Schuessler lives in Brodhagen, only 25 miles from Clinton where the 89 -year-old widow of Fred Sloman lives .with her daughter Margaret in the family home. Several years ago their School Car No. 15089 came back to Clinton. Today the renovated school car stands in Sloman Memorial Park. It's open to visitors during the summer months. sign books Margaret Sloman is curator of the School on Wheels car that received a historical pla- que designation this past spring. Author Karl Schuessler will be at King's Bookstore in Goderich between 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 11 to sign copies of his book.
