Three Additional.•School
!s Possibility for Huron.
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.

ter read in part: "It is in my.
opinion that a restricted voca-
tional addition to the South
Huron Secondary School would
stabilize vocational education
in Huron County and be advan-
tageous to all the schools in-
volved. '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 -

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.
