Huron Protests
Changes In Text
Book Changes
1)1} reconrmendaition of the
legislative and educational Com-
mittee, Huron County Council
last week concurred in a prO•
posal from Prince Edward Coun-
ty that the Minister of Educa-
tion seriously consider standard-
ization of Ontario text books.
Reeve Frank Walkom, Gode-
rich, told of finding variations.
"A teacher here might select
a certain text and one in Sea -
forth choose a different one.
There are certain teachers in
English who prefer certain
texts. In public schools they do
not have that problem. Any of
you who have children going to
school recognize the complex-
ity of the situation. One year
a boy in grade 9 gets one text,
and next year a boy in 9 gets
another. In grades 9 and 10
the most texts are supplied by
the department, or grants
made."
"That text problem arises
when families remove to an-
other place," Warden Forbes
commented.
'.And another thing, it's out
of the high -rent district."

The acceptance of vocational,
education was Wednesday rugizt
termed "an embarrassment of
success," by Donald W. 'Scott,
London, District Inspector of
Secondary Schools. Mr. Scott
was addressing a special meet-
ing at the Central Huron Sec-
ondary School of the school
board and its Advisory Voca-
tional Committee, when the
problem of the overcrowded sit-
uation at the school was being
discussed.
The four secondary school
boards in the county sending
vocational students to the new
$1,800,000 vocational addition
which just opened at the school,
will be requested to study a re-
commendation, which if accept-
ed, will alleviate overcrowding
for one year, or at least until
all boards have a better chance
to assess the situation.
The school has a capacity of
1250 students, and according to
Principal John Cochrane, the
October 31 enrolment : showed
1238 registered. With 852 en-
rolled in the vocational courses
(373 from Clinton, 114 from
Seaforth, 212 from Goderich,
and 153 from Exeter), it has
necessitated vocational classes
being conducted in the cafe-
teria, the teachers' lunch room
and the auditorium stage.
The recommendation asks
that the fou#,' ' and five-year
-rade l students of bp/TIM
and commerce,. and lienee
technology and trades remain
in the sending scltoo1s for the
196455 term. The reeoturnenda-
tion .origirnated with the A4vts,
ory Vocational Committee band
was presented to the school
board by the A.V.1;', chairman,
R, Delbert Philp, Myth. The
next step will be the decision
of the four secondary school
boards, and it must be an un-
animous one, if the recommen-
dation is to be followed.
Mr. Scott told the meeting
that nn one could foresee the
overwhelming acceptance of vo-
cational training. He reported
that according to a survey tak-
en of all students (elementary
and secondary), and based on
last year's figures, the estimat-
ed number of students for the
1964-65 term at the Clinton
school could be 1414. If the
recommendation is accepted by
all boards, it would reduce this
figure to 1314, "which would
still be more than the 1250 ca-
pacity, but could be handled,"
he said. He failed to recom-
mend any large scale building
program at this time, as he felt
that a year or so was needed
with the newly -opened addition..
Regardless of what action is
taken on the of.
