A proposal by the South Huron Secondary School to build a modified vocational ad- dition to its • school at Exeter met with approval by all four secondary school boards send- ing vocational.. students to the Central Huron Secondary School at Clinton. The special meet- ing was held• in ' Clintoh Wed- nesday .night,' at which John Lavis, chairman of the Clinton board, presided. Approval came' only after four and a half hours of discussion of the pros and the cons of the proposal, and after- the Clinton board asked for what resulted in an hour's recess to reconsider an earlier decision its board members had agreed upon. It is expected 'that with Exe- ter's expansion, the overcrowd- ing which has been existing in 'the vocational department of the Clinton school since its' op- ening last September, will be relieved. It is also hoped that it will "save the Clinton .board a new capital outlay in at least the immediate future, Attending the meeting along with the members 'from the sec- ondary school boards of Gode- rich, 'Seaforth, Exeter and Clin- ton, were W. T. Laing, London, chief high school inspector for Western Ontario, and H. W. Beatty, London, shop inspector of secondary schools . for West- ern Ontario. Mr. Beatty pre- dicted that by 1970 there will be' threecomposite schools. In other words, that if the normal growth of school populations .continues, that following Exe- ter, Goderich and Seaforth will build restricted vocational ad- ditions. - The present agreement, call- ing for 15 per cent of the send- ing schools' total enrglment be- ing sent to Clihton school, will be amended by the Clinton board for Exeter. Exeter will be required to guarantee 5% in the event that the Clinton enrolment drops. below 1200 be- tween September 1965 (when Exeter exoects to have its pro- posed addition ready) and the conclusion of, the original agree- ment in 1972 ,' Prior to May 13, when the Exeter board requested at Wednesday night's meeting the Clinton board , was studying a vocational addition to the Cen- tral Huron 'Secondary School. Since January, members realiz- ed'Ahat with the projected en- rolment showing a great in- crease, something would have to be done. The 'board was in the throes of learning from the other boards - whether it was wise to build an addition to ac- commodate 340 pupils, or a larger addition for 540 pupils.

'It would be a logical alternative to another large ad- dition to CHSC at this _ time • if it is approved by the four Cen- tral 'Huron, Boards - and for grant purposes. If this voca- tional' addition is built the board would send pupils to Clinton for courses not _afford- ed at South HLiron, so these pupils would still have a broad choice of options. Central Hur- on would still be ' fulfilling its functions of extending voca- tion opportunities in this area. Because South Huron antici- pates an enrolment in excess of 1,000 pupils by 1969, it. would be logical for them to have a composite school soon- er or later. This leaves Central Huron in the , position of pro- viding expensive space for pu- pils who can be readily with: drawn. It would be unfortun- ate to have Central Huron left' with the . unneeded facilities that would be a financial drain on the Clinton Board and on those paying tuition' to it. The Exeter board was plan- ning an academic addition and had an architect engaged. How- ever, D, W. Scott, London, secondary school inspector for the area, advised the board that it was no longer profitable to send students to Clinton as it has been. The indication is that there will be a change in the grant structure in this regard. Exeter's secondary school pop- ulation by 1968 will be up in the 1,000 mark. Many of the pupils from Stephen Township —the most populous district in the school area—now ride 100 miles per day to take voca- tional training at Clinton While Mr. Scott did not at- tend the Clinton meeting Wed- nesday, as he is attending a conference in Banff, .a letter written by hitp was' read to the foun school boards regard- ing Exeter's position. The let - ALL KINDS - of INSURANCE W. E. SOUTHGATE MAIN ST. - SEAFORTH Phone 334 -r Res. 540 showed that by 1970 there will be a total of 3,933 secondary school students in all four schools. If 15 per cent' of each of 'the four sending schools to- tal enrolment go for vocation- al training, then by 1970 the enrolment at CHSS would .be 1,627. (School's capacity •1,250).. Mr., Laing quoted figures from the Ontario .Department Education 'files which showed that there are 364,210 secon- dary. students in Ontario today, and' that by 1970 it is e'icpocted to increase by' 66 per cent, to 600,000. "Your figures fall quite below this," he pointed out. He stressed the fact that today 50 per of the sec- ondary students in Ontario are in vocational courses. Dan Murphy, Goderich solici- tor, a member of the Goderich board, argued that the project- ed enrolment can not be cor- rect. "It is a well-known fact that Huron County's rural pop- ulation has been declining over the past 10 years (urban popu- latio'n has been increasing very. slightly), and sooner or later the school population has to go down," 'he said. Accept Exeter Proposal,' The firstdecision of the Clin- ton Board regarding Exeter's proposal was to agree to Exe- ter's building its own vocation- al addition, and that no guar- antee be asked for as to the number of sending pupils to Clinton. Spokesman for ' the Clinton board, Walter New- combe, said that Clinton would first accommodate students from Seaforth, Goderich and Clinton, and if there was room, then Exeter pupils would be ac;; cepted. Rev. John Boyne, Exe- ter, stated that if Exeter. sev- ered all connections with the Clinton school, that it would not be expected that the De- partment's approval for the Exeter 'addition would be con- sidered. Spokesman for the Seaforth Board was • Ed. D: aring, RR 1, Staffa, chairman'"and attend- ing the meeting from that board were Frank Sills, John A. Cardno, Oliver Anderson, Harvey Craig, Ken McFarlane and James :McIntosh. "I would- not support a plan that would harm the CHSS agreement, and I support the addition of a vocational wing - to the South Huron school be- cause it appears to be the best solution to the present over- crowding. of vocational facili- ties in the county." Exeter board ' member s, through their chairman, Ken- neth, Johns, Woodham, explain- ed that they have to build in any case, and that they can build a vocational ' addition at less • cost to 'the taxpayer than. an academic ad'ditioi . The pro- posed addition for -Exeter will cost $700,000, andter grants of 75 per cent are received only $175,000 will ha a to be raised by local levy. The pro- posed ' addition will include three shops and commercial rooms, one new science room, four classrooms (academic) and an addition to the cafeteria and kitchen.. The board will be un- able to provide occupations or such limited and expensive fields as machine shops and ac- counting.
