ENCE IN PETERBOROUGH © On Tuesday, April 1st, five Club Leaders from Ontario County attend- ed' the" Annual Club Leaders' Confer- eence at Peterborough. Approximate- ly. 30 club leaders. from the counties in East Central Ontario were in at. tendance. The Conference was sponsored by the. Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, Toronto, and the program was in charge of Mr. R. G. Bennett, Associate Director of Extension for the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Following a word of welcome by Mr. Leo Capp, Principal of Peterboro Normal School. Mr, Bennett out. lined the progress that has been made in Junior Club extension work in the. province, and indicated that a further increase in new clubs was apparent this year. He indicated that enrol- ment would show an increase from The Facts About The Public School was built in 1927 with five class rooms, Each class room could accomodate forty pupils which is considered a maxi- mum for teaching with any degree of efficiency. Thirty pupils per class room is dansidered nearly ideal, The average yearly attendance in Public School from 1927 to 1938 was about 160 pupils. In 1988 the attendance was 161. The average yearly enrollment of beginners from 1932 - 1952 was as follows: 1932 - 1937--17.2 pupils 1937 - 1942--19 pupils 1942 - 1947---20.2 pupils 1947 - 1962:--82 pupils The existing attendance for the entire Public School is 240. The census taken iw Port: Perry in 1951 showed 170 children under 5 years of age (pre-school age) re- sident in Port Perry which indi- cates an average of 84 children to commence Public School each venr for the next five vears with- out allowing for any increase in population which may reasonably be expected if the existing trend continues. Each vear the upper grades in the Public School become larger as the increasing number of hegln- ners graduate to higher grades and with even larger classes of beginners anticipated it is not un- likely that the Public School at- tendance may approximate 300 pupils 'by September 1954. Such an attendance would necessitate ine classrooms or one classroom for each grade and one classroom for Kindergarten-Primary. In the past to provide for in- created attendance a temporary classroom was built in the girls basement, thus depriving the girls of playroom which is particularly unfortunate during inclement weather. The proposed new school is designed to include a classroom- playroom which may be used as a Playroom, a small auditorium, a gymnasium or a classroom as re- quired. 5 The Public School is not at pre- gent able to provide full' time teaching periods for Grade 1 and Kindergarten - Primary, resulting in loss of government grants and consequently a loss to local tax- payers. In the Fall of 1945 the High School attendance was 96 pupils and in prior vears the enrollment at High School remained in the neighbourhood of 100 pupils each vear. - For the past two years the Iigh School attendance has been over 200 pupils each year. The High School was built in 1927 to accomodate 125 pupils. Grade IX now has 70 pupils who cannot all be taught in one classroom. In- creased attendance in the local Public School and surrounding Public Schools will aggravate fur- ther the congestion making exist- Port Perry Public and High School Problems ing High School 'accomodation fn- adequate and pnsuitable for pro- per teaching.

' Additional accomodation can only-be provided by altering or ex- tending existing school buildings or ekedting a new Public School. The only alternative if the hy - law is defeated would be to erect an addition, renovate and alter the existing building (which the De- partment of Education would in- sist upon). This would take eave of immediate needs byt might not meet future requireménts, where- as the proposed new school is de- signed to be extended as required. » * * New 10 room Public School of the approved 1 storey plan (by Dept. of Education) with - no stairs $276,000.00 Sale of Public School 100,000.00 Debenture issue 175,000.00 T.ess 407% Gov.

Pineau, Associate Chief, Production Service, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, outlined the Club program on a National basis, and spoke of the need for a correlation of ideas among Club Leaders and Club Members on a national basis to de- velop a uniform club program across the Dominion. Mr. Pineau recounted the work of three Club Leaders, two from British Columbia, and one from the Maritimes, who were doing a par- ticularly fine job among the Club Membeys with whom they worked. Mr. T. R. Hilliard, Department of Agriculture, Toronto, gave an illus- trated address on "Highlights in the United Kingdom Agriculture"... Col- oured slides dealing with farm prac- tices in England and Scotland, and pictures of the Royal and Highland Shows were found .interesting and educational by those in attendance. Following lunch, two addresses were given by Club Leaders who had con- tributed worthwhile services toward Club Work. - Mr. Lindsay Anderson, Campbellford, and My. Keith Mac- Intyre, © Peterboro, . expressed their feelings regarding the value of Club Work in a community, and dealt with some interesting and novel ideas in connection with their own particular clubs over which they carried out supervision. Group discussions among the Club Leaders on Live Stock Clubs, Field Crop and Forestry Clubs, and Trac- tor Clubs on all phases of the Club, program concluded the day's program. Discussions centred on methods of im- proving Club Work in general, and on developing and maintaining the inter- est of the Club members. Club leaders recognition on a County, Regional and Provincial basis was also discussed. It was unanimously agreed that re- cognition given to Leaders by having the opportunity to attend the Royal Winter Fair was worthwhile and it was recommended that the practice be continued.
