Hoag_ Honored by School Board Following is the shop commiâ€" ttee report of the North York groun responsible for the trainâ€" ing of men in technical studies, leadin« to jobs as mechanics, elâ€" ectricians, . etc. . T he â€" report, which is printed in full, tells of the need for more extensive The Board recommended the dissolving of such Grade 13 courses when students . taking the recently effected five â€" year programmes, in Business . and Commerce and Science, Technolâ€" ouy and Trades enter Grade 13, under the Robarts Plan of eduâ€" cation. The Board also stated that Grade 13 technical and business administration _ courses â€" which are the same as like courses ofâ€" fered by the Ryerson Institute, be continued only as long as inadequate accommodations are present. Another _ recommendation . of the Board, simplified, is to enâ€" courage everyone to stay /4 school or some spema:i"ed"’ed- ucational course until that perâ€" son has reached a point equal to his skills or capabilities. The Board also recommended, from the report that secondary school vocational courses could be imaintained as they have in the past, as general, preâ€"employâ€" ment education and training, aud that postâ€"secondary, apprenâ€" ticeship and retraining courses be cousidered as specialized edâ€" ucation and training, requiring facilities and methods of insâ€" truction differnt from those in secondary schools. The Board recommended the establishment of a Board of Governors to maintain a close working â€" relationship with the Board of Education and the Deâ€" partment of Education for the building and planning of such a centre. The Board of Education, on information contained in the study to "determine the need for _ technical _ education _ in North York." recommended reâ€" cently to the Minister of Eduâ€" cation that such a centre be esâ€" tablished. The Board recommenâ€" ded the centre contain faciliâ€" ties for operating technological and ocher specialized courses at the post â€" secondary and adult training level leading to recogâ€" nized technical certification. The report has taken almost two years to prepare. The â€" booklet suggested . the training centre since accomodaâ€" tions for adult retraining, techâ€" nological training and training in other specialized fields, is limited at Rvyerson. The building of a training centre, granting technical certiâ€" ficates to students, and establiâ€" shed along the lines of the Ryâ€" erson Institute of Technology, has been suggested in a report prepared for the Board of Eduâ€" eation for the Township of North York. The â€" strongly _ recommended training centre, which would be built in North York and serve the Northern Metropolitan Torâ€" onto section, was suggested in a booklet prepared for the Adâ€" visory _ Vocational â€" Committee and the Board of Education by Dr. Lewis S. Beattie, formerly Superintendent _ of _ Secondary Education in the Department of Education; and David E. Budge, Coâ€"ordinator _ of Adult Educaâ€" tion for North York; and Elmâ€" re E.

I Reporting for the Auto Mechâ€" ‘anics and Auto Body Commitâ€" | tee, Mr. Edward Onley | said | there was need for a course to train people as counterâ€"men for the merchandising of parts. \The twoâ€"year in service training 7programme was not enough for | people who were going to work ‘in service stations. Now the inâ€" | dustry is asking that service staâ€" tion attendants have more than ; two years high school. The Auto | Body programme had been starâ€" {ted, and had been increased \from two years to four years | but more equipment was needed in order to conduct an adequate training _ programme. â€" Earlier, there wasg a need for publicity; now, courses which had been started by the Committee have received national coverage. Mr. Walker Dear, reporting for the Drafting Committee, said that the purpose of the committee was to give advice on courses to help in the selecâ€" courses in shop work. SHOP COMMITTEE REPORTS Committee reports were reâ€" ceived by the Advisory Voca tional Committee and members of the North York Board of Edâ€" ucation at a special meeting held on Wednesday evening, May 22, at Downsview Collegiâ€" ate Institute, The subâ€"committâ€" ees of the Advisory Vocational Committee were formulated for the first time this year and have been of much assistance. Mr. Hoag was appointed to E. E. HUFF COâ€"ORDINATOR OF GUIDANCE D. E. BRIDGE COâ€"ORDINATOR OF ADULT EDUCATION AUTHORS | Robert D. G. Stanbury, Chairâ€" man of North York Board of Edâ€" | ucation said that it was most }gratifying to the Board to receive ‘the reports of the Committees. \He expressed appreciation for the voluntary work which was contributed so ably by the memâ€" bers of the Advisory Vocational Committee, the Shop Commitâ€" ; tees, the representative of Inâ€" dustry and Staff, which in comâ€" ‘bination produced such an exâ€" | cellent vocational training proâ€" | gramme. Mr. Eric L. Palin, Technical Training Specialist of the Techâ€" nological and Trades Training Branch represented the Ontario Department of Education in brâ€" inging greetings. Alvin Russell reporting for the Woodworking Committee, â€" said that the committee had been inâ€" vestigating the possibility of. usâ€" ing plastics in addition to conâ€" ventional woodworking practices. Unfortunately, the number of four year technical students wishing to specialize in woodâ€" working and building construcâ€" tion has been too few to accomâ€" modate economically. The comâ€" mittee recommended that to enâ€" courage young people to remain in the Secondary School training programme, credit should be alâ€" lowed on the apprenticeship proâ€" gramme for those who successâ€" fully complete the regular school courses. Bruce Berry, Chairman of Machine Shop Committee, said that the Committee is assisting in the training of the unemployâ€" ed through Programme 5 as well as in the 4 year technical proâ€" gramme. Mr. Berry expressed grave concern about the inabilâ€" ity of graduates fromâ€"the 4 year technical programme in machine shop practise to obtain an appreâ€" nticeship in the trade, due to the salary scale. The other, more theoretical, is Electronics I of the Advanced Technical Evening Course. Mr. Fraser said that three years ago, 7 boys graduated from the Elâ€" sectronics course. This had risen to 17 graduates in 1963 and it was anticipated there would be 22 to 25 graduates next year. Pupils selected must have provâ€" en ability in mathematics, sciâ€" ence and English. Those graduâ€" ating in Electronics are enâ€" couraged to continue their eduâ€" cation past Grade 12. In the Unâ€" ited _ States those terminating their course at the end of Grade 10 or 11 used to be considered the dropâ€"out students. Now, those who terminate their education at Grade 12 are considered dropâ€" outs. Chairman of the Electronics Shop Advisory Committee, Willâ€" iam W. Fraser announced two courses would be offered this fall. One, an introductory pracâ€" tical course, would include theâ€" ory for Grade XI pupils specialiâ€" zing in electronics and the conâ€" struction of a superâ€"heterodyne radio broadcdst receiver. tion of equipment, and to work on the problem of job prospects and student placement. Observâ€" ing that school graduates lacked production _ background, _ the Committee called for a more inâ€" tensive drafting programme. WESTON‘S BOY SCOUTS DEDICATE COLORS, The new Federal Building on Weston Road will be officially opened June 10, according to Council, The old building will have no use unless Council can plan some other purpose for it to serve. Council decided to let the matter lay dormant when they read the letter ending, " . . the Department has really no justiâ€" fication for the establishment of additional Customs facilities in the Town of Weston." "Each of these establishments may be reached quite easily by very excellent highways," he added. _ Mr. Garland, in a letter to council Monday, made it clear the Government cannot foresee the need for a Customs Outport in Weston. "....In view of the availability of Customs facilities at our West Toronto office, four miles distant, Maiton Internationâ€" al Airport, six miles distant, Mid â€" continent Truck Terminal Limited, a highway sufferance warehouse seven miles distant, and our main Customs office in the Port of Toronto, only ten miles from Weston, you will appreciate it is indeed difficult to visualize the need for adâ€" ditional facilities in this area," he wrote.
