tion costs would be the respon-
sibility
espon sibility of the Boards, sending
students to Wingham. The sugges-
tion was advanced that if Luck
now and Ripley were both inter-
ested they might be able t_ o pool
•transportation costs. Grants
would be channeled back to the
respective Boards,according t.
their costs.:
Defer Addition Here
The Lucknow Board had pre-
viously .. made application for a
three-room• addition locally, to
relieve overcrowding which now
makes, -necessary the use of the
auditorium and the stage,. The
:application was ' deferred. by the
Department. pending ' vocational
school developments, •which it
was ,pointed out .could relieve the
overcrowding locally and post-
pone, .at least, a .building prog-•
ram.
It •'was readilyadmitted that
.the cost of vocational training is
higher than. academic training,
y
basicall•because. fewer students
can be accommodated per class,'
room, meaning more :classrooms'
and Mere ' teachers, as well as
associated maintenance costs.
• Mr. Hetherington • felt. that be-
cause
be cause. of• the :economics of . trans-
portation Wingham was the only
logical location . for a school to
.serve Lucknow and Ripley ,. if
theyshould come. •in, .
.However, if the school is to be
proceeded with an unconditionai.
committment is essential from
participating schools so they could
not. withdraw..at• .their own plea-
sure.
There., are over 170 Boards in
Ontario . undertaking vocational'
projects at ,:present, '.and :while
the cost' factor is not argued,
even with governments :paying
the "full .shot", those who don't
take •'advantage of being part of 1
the vocational , program; willin
any event, be.. helping :to.•pay
for those who • do.
I.t was pointed out that , this
Meeting' .was., primarily': to obtain.
'views ;.and opinions..and'- had no
power• to • act. With no .debenture
issue involved the decisions must
come from the Boards, but it was
felt that Councils should be ca.l
led in, ..as they s'hay.e a duty 'to,
.the, public t6 see that .costs don't,
get out of li•ne.'
A new composite addition., at
W inn harn . "is the ' only practical
solution," Mr, Hetherington sum
med. up:
In . attendance to ,'clarify ,vari-
Ous points an to answer guess
tions , from . the floor '• wet;e, Mr:
Wrn Stewart, 'Assistant Super-
visor of Education: and •Mr. D. 'W.
Scott, S'econdary. school .inspector
operative by September 1962, will
include 4 and 5 -Year courses in
each classification, 'e Govern -
meet has set. March 1963 as, the
deadline far 'completion. of voca-
tional school construction;: which
was questioned from, the floor,
There did not seem, to be any'
authoritative answer to "why"
this deadline.. •
Neither ,As To Costs • •
Another unanswered question
was what wosild be the cost of
vocattorial school tuition., 'Some
mental ' arithmetic was. 'resorted
to, but none could hazard a. guess
as what this unknownfigure
might be, • ...
'•It was.•agreed that costs would
Abe . higher per pupil . until the
Grades 'filled, -and full advantage
of grants could be taken, It was
considered. that "in the long run
it should not be more expensive,"
Mr. John Reid, chairman of the
Ripley Board asked for clarifica-
tion as to how and when..teacher,
parents, and pupil could decide
on what course to adopt,,'
What's Future Here?
Charles Webster, of the Luck-
now Board • asked for a straight
answer on what might be the
,future of the Lucknow school•if
Utley. adopt the Wingham propos-
al: "Is : there any chance of it
being closed?" hp asked; ' and
we' would "be left with a White
elephant." Mr, :Stewart replied,
in effectthat while he couldn't.
forsee .the circumstances 'of , the
futur-e,:, the Department has : no .
plans to close the school:, These
decisions are made ,by the people
'concerned and no one. Will force
you, he 'said.
Wingham = has asked for a 570,
:10,%, and 15%' attendance from,
Luckno'w:on.. ;a. sliding scale over
the neat three , years. The ' pre
'sent enrolment here <i's 220 : stu-
dents: .
Jack . Ackert questioned ,about
the deadline . have such ,schools
been proven; : and can we afford
across Canada to build and equip
11/2 million dollar schools, :
