THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES COLLEGIATE AND VOCATIONAL INSTITUTE SOUVENIR EDITION--MAY 7, 1930 Technical Courses Combine Academic and Practical Studies Courses Decided Upon By Body of Leading Citizens By ALEX. W. BELL Chairman, Oshawa Board of Education ITH the opening of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Insti tute a long felt want will be filled. Students are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen years, and in many cases, students, and occasionally parents also, feel that after attending Collegiate for a year or two, they have sufficient education for lines they propose to follow, and the fact of being compelled, under the School Act, to attend another one or two years, until the age of sixteen is reached, is looked upon as an unnecessary hardship, and something for which they think they will not derive any real benefit, The Collegiate and Vocational Institute, while continuing to provide Academic training for those who intend to enter one of the essions, also offers Voca- tional o_-- for those who desire to follow a trade, The courses which are being provided were decided upon after consultation with some of the leading 'Industrialists of Oshawa as being particularly adapted to the needs of this City, and students now, after. they have passed the entrance ex amination, will have the choice of follow ing a purely Academic course; a Com- mercial course, which has recently been equipped for giving instruction in modern business methods; or one of the various trades, provisions being made in all three divisions for both girls and boys. Lest some be of the impression that by choosing a Vocational course they get instruction in that particular line only, let it be made clear that these Vocational courses are combined with the Academic, Students, therefore, while receiving tech nical training, also receive the same course as those following the Academic courses, with this difference, that they receive practical instruction, which will fit them to follow one of the trades, in- stead of Ancient and Modern Languages, higher Mathematics, and pure Science, or such subjects, which, while being neces- sary for those intending to follow a pro fession, would not be essential for those following a trade, It will, therefore," be seen that the courses now being offered to students are such as will give those who participate in such courses, a good grounding for any walk in life they may choose to follow, - Shop Equipment In All Branches Is Highly Modern By C.
