Vocational school
Poses Problems
High school boards and local
councils will further consider the
technical school problem and an-
other meeting will beheld in
three weeks. This was the out-
come of a meeting in Clinton on
Tuesday night when Mr. Davies.
of the Dept, of Education second-
ary schools branch, was present.
He told the meeting that the
„ department does not favor a
--. taohnical school by itself. They
prefer a technical school in con-
junction with an existing high
school. -
Federal and -provincial govern-
ments would pay the total cost
of a technical school addition to
a high school
Operating costs would be borne
by the school area, assisted by
the usual government grants, plus
an extra $30 per technical pupil
grant. --
Pupils from other high school
areas attending the technical
school would be paid for by their
home area board.
The meeting discussed two bas-
ic problems: transportation and
the burden for a time at least on
the taxpayer of the area establish-
ing such a school.
On the other hand, the area
having the school would have the
advantage of proximity for pup-
ils.
Home and School.
