"There‘s no doubt about it, that the implementation of the Robarts Plan is going to bring about some advantages," sa id Mr. Parker.

The township produced as many Ontario scholâ€" arship winners as Toronto this year. "We frankly think it‘s wrong to move too quickly," said Mr. Boone. "We believe in an inâ€" vestigate and lookâ€"beforeâ€"youâ€" leap approach to education." "I think it‘s always been the concern of the board to provide the best educational * system possible." _ said â€" trustee, _ Mrs. Helen Spence, who, like Mr. Parker, has been a member of the board since its inception in 1949. "I think this is the esâ€" sence of the success of the Etoâ€" bicoke system. I know that when we hired each official we considered, a bove everything eise, the educational value of the person being interviewed." _ Just to take a quick look back â€" the Etobicoke school system incorporated 14 school sections that were operated by 11 boards â€"one of which was in the red when the amalgamation occurâ€" "Team teaching is in its beginâ€" ning stages," said Mr. Boone, "and, like every new approach, it needs time for evaluation. It appears to have worked out fairly well so far although we do not have the ideal physical condiitons for it. Lacking large lecture and seminar rooms, we are limited in the number of subjects and grades we can inâ€" volve in it." Programmed learning (via teaching machines}) has not been presented in Etobicoke schools although various members of the secondary school staff have atâ€" tended seminars and taken courses relating to this. For instance, team teachingâ€" that is, lecturing to large groups which subsequently split into smaller units for further study and research on a project â€" is being tried in three township high schools in a limited way. Richview is testing the value of team teaching approach in geoâ€" graphy, Royal York is trying this with English, and Vincent Masâ€" sey, with a history project. But with team teaching, as with other new educational meâ€" thods, Etobicoke teachers are enâ€" couraged to investigate, experiâ€" meni and try out new apâ€" proaches. ‘"This applies to team teachâ€" ing, language laboratories and programmed learning," said Mr. Boone. "The staff has to become aware of what is involved to see how it might be related to our program." The methods used by Etobiâ€" coke‘s 1,050 teachers are not raâ€" dically different from those used when the school system was esâ€" tablished 15 years ago. Superiniendent Boone and his assistants are anxious that a sound program be maintained and innovations introduced careâ€" fully. The variety of new courses has meant that many youngsters who would not have gone beâ€" yond Grade 9 are staying in school, and taking school more seriously, said Mr. Boone. And the demands of employâ€" ers that beginners have specific educational certificates naturally has its influence on keeping youngsters in school until they achieve these. Mr. Parker said the school board had speculated at length as to how technical education would click in this township. The fact that so many students are taking nonâ€"academic courses is an indication, he said, th at parents are abandoning the idea of university courses for youngâ€" sters â€" "whose . capacities . and abilities indicate. something else." + Trustees‘ duties in those days were â€" preâ€"eminently | practical. Mrs. Spence recalls visiting inâ€" dividual â€" schools and making sure they had enough coal for the winter. The school board‘s budget was $773.661.61 in 1949, and this proâ€" vided 159 teachers, 14 public schools and one collegiate (Etoâ€" bicoke) for 5,198 pupils in eleâ€" mentary schools and 758 high school pupils. sch 000.000 a year opera sive of the vocatic costs that are paid by politan Toronto Sch An additional 500 pu living in the south . township, are enrolle Today, there are in 58 public scho ates and one vo was the coke) w 1950.. it« lona When 00 den indary the one collegiate (Et ) with its 758 students it« enrolment jumped and the following year students, and pupils in Ki 1 School.

In 1953, Royal York Colâ€" legiate opened and the combined enrolment was 1,748. In 1954, the two schools taught 2123 pupils. In 1955, Alderwood Collegiate opened. and the total enrolment was 2,668. There was another jump in the township secondary school popuâ€" lation in 1956 when it rose to 3,401, and that year another colâ€" legiate, Burnhamthorpe, opened. In 1957, Thistletown was comâ€" pleted and the enrolment stood at 4,146. In 1958, Richview was completed and the high schouol students now numbered 5,093. No secondary school was opened in 1959, but enrolment continued to climb â€" to 5.934. The sixties have been just as busy. Thistleâ€" town and Burnhamthorpe added technical wings, Etobicoke‘s colâ€" legiate‘s new technical facilities will open this month. In 1980, Kipling Collegiate opened and enrolment in Etobicoke seconâ€" dary schools was 7,023; in 1961 Vincent Massey Collegiate was added and the enrolment was 8253; in 1962 along came North Albion Collegiate and an enrolâ€" ment of 9.696.

Board officials claim the end is in sight â€" although there are still schools to be built in the north end of the township, in the federï¬-provincinl partnerâ€" ship housing project and, posâ€" sibly, in the Richview Collegiate area which has yielded more teenâ€"agers than expected. As anyone who has lived in a subdivision realizes, the junior public school population is high for the first few years in a new district, and then the demand is for increased senior and high school facilities, while the junâ€" ior school enrolment declines. "Careful planning enabled us to keep up with this expansion," said Mrs. Spence. "When we‘ve had to use portable classrooms, it was not a case of not knowâ€" ing the youngsters w ould be there, but of not being able to get authority to build permanent accommodation for peak loads." Now that Etobicoke‘s school population is pretty well accomâ€" modated and being educated in regular and special classes which meet a variety of needs and problems, Mrs. Spence believes the stress should be on "trying to find out how children learn, and training our teachers acâ€" cordingly." son and Shelley Ledger.
