The Dundas road was then the dividing line between two of the farm.

W. Crawford, BSc., Ottawa, Director of Technical Xducation for the Dominion. The place of vocational schools in an education- al system depends upon three things--the individ- ual administering the system, the industrial and social conditions of the people, and the nature and scope of the school work provided. Educational systems differ in each province and the relation of vocational schools to other institutions is con- stantly changing. Educational policies in Can- ada are not fixed and the influence of Ministers of Education, Superintendents, Directors of Teachers is apparent in all parts of the Dominion. Industrial and social conditions determine the need for vocational schools and, to a large extent, the content of the new courses to be provided. Vocational courses developed to meet the needs and conditions of a large industrial centre are not suited to the requirements of an agricultural dis- trict or a community with very limited industrial activity. It does not follow, however, that vo- cational training should be limited to the require- ments of the.local industries, but it has been found that differences in the financial resources and environment of communities necessitate dif- ferent methods of organizing the work. . It is folly for the small community to copy the methods of the large city or vice versa. It is also unwise for one country to adopt the methods and systems of another country without adapting them to home conditions and requirements. Aims of Education. _ The first thing to be considered is our concep- tion of the purpose and aims of an educational ystem. Education is frequently defined as "preparation for life," hence the purpose of edu- cation is to unfold and direct aright the whole nature of each individual. The course of life is usually determined by the training and direction one receives during childhood, and' the schools play a very im t part in moulding the lives 'of young people during the most jupressionable A complete educational system should be rs] years. 80 as to provide the best possible fa- r the mental, moral, vocational and pment of each child. neglect the practical side of education and forget that character, like anything else, can only be de- veloped by intelligent exercise. They make the mistake of assuming that if a child knows what is good it will do good. : Many persons possess great stores of useful information, but they lack the ability to apply their knowledge in solving life's problems. rning and doing must go hand in hand. Enjoyment of life can only come through rendering useful service to others and service i§ the result of action, not knowledge. The service rendered to humanity by the vast majority of individuals is a result of their vocational ac- tivities. If it has been found necessary and pro- fitable, in view of changing conditions, to establish schools for the vocational training of professional and office workers, I can see no good reason why schools should not be provided for the training of industrial, homemaking and agricultural workers, especially since provisions do not now exist for training these people by apprenticeship or other purely industrial methods. Our educational systems have not retained the interest and attendance of the majority of child- ren beyond the early adolescent period. - If we ad- mit that the fault is not altogether on the side of the children and parents, it is apparent that some changes must be made if we are to provide a reasonable opportunity for education to all Can- adian children. Evidently all types of children are not benefitted alike by existing methods and courses and additional activities or new methods must be provided for those who leave school un- fitted for the battle of life. Over eighty per cent. of Canadian children do not complete a secondary school training. Until the schools make some additional efforts to retain pupils and to provide special courses suited to their particular Teguiteuents and abilities, many young people are doomed to an existence which precludes enjoyment of life because of stunted mental development and handicapped power for service, : It is to meet this situation that vocational schools are being established. The future of these schools depends upon the qualifications and vision established between the schools and industry. Vocational courses are special secondary e courses designed to meet the educational needs of young people whe do not require college prepar- fact | atory courses.

The rk : Dioceses and operations of mr 'of the teachers and the extent of the co-operation |- | time is close at ok (of vocational education as contrasted aoc ation | schools Part-time Classes Those children who do not remain in school until they complete a secondary school training must be provided for in some special manner. Industry does not provide opportunities for com- pleting school courses, and only a comparatively few children find employment which provides an adequate vocational and citizenship training. It has, therefore, been found necessary to make pro- vision for part-time training in continuation classes and apprenticeship classes for employed adolescents. The time spent in these classes is too short to complete an extensive course of study and the best that can be done, under existing circumstances, is to supplement the training re- ceived on the job and in the home, by instruction which will enlarge the pupils' outlook on life and make them better citizens and more capable workers. Their interest in the school studies is essential to success, and it has been found that this is best maintained by relating the studies to each pupil's dccupational interest of home- sur- roundings. Such work requires a particular type of organization including specially trained officers whose duty is to co-ordinate the work of the classes with the training on the job, and to advise the pupils in connection with their educational and occupational problems. In order that all. workers may have an oppor- tunity of securing an education suited to their social and vocational requirements, evening class- es and correspondence courses have been organ- ized. These departments provide individual and class instruction in any subject for which there is a demand. Enrolment is restricted to adults and adolescents over fourteen years of age who are not attending day schools. In these departments, as in the others, it has been found that-the natural interests and immediate requirements of the pupils must be placed above any other con- siderations. The ultimate success of evening schools and correspondence courses depends upon the ability of the teachers to meet local require- ments and to adjust themselves to the changing demands of the adult population. Vocational Guidance. We are just beginning to appreciate the pos- sibilities of vocational guidance. The introduc- tion of this work into Canadian schools would assist in bring about closer relationship and better understanding between branches of the educational systems. When the problems of juvenile employment and vocational adjust- by | ments are seriously studied by all educationists, the necessity for closer co-operation between the schools and industry will be apparent. Vocational education is in the early stages of h Ie development.
