MAY 19 n E n A 0 R n“ W .W ‘ Town Public School Board Plans 12 Room Addition “ To Walter Scott School Trustee L. D. Clement. head of the planning committee, asked that the decision of the board as to whether or not to proceed with the building be held in abeyance until the planning committee (Trustees Clement and J. Rabin- owitch) has prepared a new re- port on the classroom space both present and future needed in the district. The planning committee pointed out that in the past it is sometimes wiser to provide portable accommodation if it felt the pupil population will level off after the next few years. The lots to be built on at Rum- ble Ave. were briefly discussed and it was felt a portable at the MacKillop School would solve the problem of an influx of students from this subdivision. The plan of subdivision from Inspector W. J. McLeod was referréd to the plagnipg congnittee for _s£udy. Richmond Hill Public School Board accepted the rec- ommendation of its building committee (Trustees Robert Ross and Harold Sanderson) and its architect, Thursday of last week, for a twelve room, second story addition to the Walter Scott Public School in the event extra class- room space in the Markham Road location becomes nec- essary. The architects are Allward and Gouinlock of Tor- onto. Chairman Ross was critical of the fact that minutes of the Man- ning board meetings are not be- ing received by the school board. However, council minutes are be- ing received. Province Reduces Approved Figure A letter from Inspector Mc- Leod informed the board final approval from the Department of Education for the Crosby School was $215,500.00. Previous- ly the total final approval had been announced as $240,000.00. It is believed the smaller amount will have the architect‘s fee add- ed to it. ' 'At the annual spring luncheon of the Women’s Assoc- iation of Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church on Thursâ€" day, May 22, Mrs. Newman will be the guest speaker and has chosen for the title of her talk, “Changes Are Inevitable”. A , .. ._ . JAIV wwnv a As the leading controller in last yeaf’s Toronto civic' elections, she became vice-chairman of the board of control and was appointed president of city council. In his report. Supervising Prin- cipal Duard Rose pointed out that small groups of houses are being constructed in the town. It was mentioned that these small units create their own school planning problems. Often more so than the larger developments. Kindergarten Rgeisstration Mr. Rose said the dates for September kindergarten enrollâ€" ment were to be published in “The Liberal" this week. An induction programme for twelve new teachers will be con- ducted Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday so that they can get a picture of _the sc_hoo_l_ system. If Conditions Warrant A letter from the district Kins- men Association asked for a night a week at the Beverley Acres School playground for hteir Pee Wee team. They were referred to the Beverley Acres Ratepayers’ Association who wre granted use of the school grounds after school hours last year. On the understanding the board will not be responsible for acci- dents after school hours, a soc- cer team coached by Police Chief R. Robbins was granted permis- Mrs. Jean Newman 'ontroller - City of Toronto 'Vuedl )pea/eer Baseball stops will be purchas- ed for Walter Scott and Bever- ley Acres Schools at a cost of $165.00 each from Mr. N. Bone. Two power scrubbers at a cost of $250.75 each are to be_ pur- chased for Beverley Acres and McConaghy Schools, and one wet- dry vacuum cleaner at $233.75. In addition one large size lawn mower and one typewriter are to be purchased. The building committee was given authority to call for paint tenders also during the summer. Ten-test will re- place the bottom pane of glass at MacKillop School and individual outside opening doors will be studied to be sealed shut during the cold months, in an attempt to prevent heat less at the school. The board was informed there was no safety hazard present in closing 'the doors permanently. by the teachers that their group sickness insurance be transferred to P.S.I. The teachers have ag- reed to pay the difference be- tween the present policy held by Imperial Life and the P.S.I.. the amount now paid by the board is $14.26 each per year. The com- mittee was also given the power toymake the change. Finances ' sion to use the grounds at Wal- ter Scott School and install goal posts in itfhe yard. __ Thevpersonnel corhmittee (Trus- tees Margaret Southwell and Vir- ginia; Sully)A will §tudy_ a‘ request The secretary presented the members with a financial state- ment for the first quarter. Chair- man Ross commented, “It lopks healthy. We are staying within our budget." In reply to what was being done for the more brilliant pup- ils, Mr. Rose stated principals and teachers were taking this child into consideration and there was at present special attention being given to them. _ Trustee Sanderson returned the criticism by saying. “The only thing we get from the personnel and education committee con- cerns salaries." Mrs. Sully is a member of both committees. Mrs. Sully said, “I think that too much time was spent by the board on the mechanics of run- ning and building the schools and not enough on the curriculum." Mrs. Southwell said, “The committee will have to get these educational problems on the ag- enda for discussion." * Mrs. Southwell also asked a letter be sent to Inspector Mc- Leod thanking him for his assist- ance and guidance in elaborating on the report given by the prin- cipals to the board at a recent meeting. LOBLAW’S PARKING LOT The Board of Trustees for School Area No. 1 Markham- Vaughan met for their regular monthly session on Tuesday ev- ening of last week in the Thorn- hill board room which was decor_ ated with a number of. excellent posters done by school area stud- ents to illustrate the theme “Safe- ty”. This poster' collection, the result of a school contest, is to be on exhibition soon at the Thorn- hill Library and is worth watchâ€" ing for. It was displayed last Fri- day night at the formal Opening of the Ross Doan Public School. Chairman Roy Bick. in com- menting on the choice of safety slogans used, the excellent free- handprinting and the eye-catch- ing colours employed to put each “caution” across to the viewer. said that a safety bulletin will be released soon by the area schools. Thornlea Home and School has given a cheque to cover the costs of paper and sten- cil supplies for this service, he said. School Area Another project shared by pu- pils and teachers, this time with school custodians also taking part, was the beautifying of the school grounds. particularly at the new Ross Doan school. Trustee Jack- son Taylor, remarked the grounds at the various schools 100k nicer than he had seen them in a long time. Kindergarten Class R. Hill Police Press Charges Re Town Incidents It will not be necessary to pro- vide transportation for the childâ€" ren attending kindergarten class- es ln the school area. Chairman Bick told the board, since all the schools will have classrooms for their own school section. A re- cent survey indicated that there are approximately 200 children in the area who will be five years old on or before December 31, and therefore eligible to enter kindergarten in September. It was noted that many private kindergartens will close, but priâ€" vate nursery schools will remain open. Principal’s Report In Magistrate’s Court. New- market, on Monday, Magistrate 0. S. Hollinrake convicted D. S. MacDonald of Newmarket on a charge of impaired driving, and imposed a fine of $75.00 and costs, with a suspension of driv- er‘s license for three months. J. G. Smith of Whitchurch Townhip was placed on proba- tion for one year on the charge of theft of building materials. The charges were laid by Rich- mond Hill Police. Supervising Principal E. J. and reported to the board there was an improvement in the over- all picture of attendance for Ap- ril. A total of 1,969 pupils were on the roils with an attendance percentage of 95.5. Of the orthopedic class, Prin- cipal Sand said. “I have never before seen a 100% attendance in one room for a whole month. But this class, which one might feel was the least likely to at- tain such a record, did so in April. No Teacher Shortage Resulting from a minor acci- dent occurring at Elmwood and Sussex Avenues on May 10, Jos- eph Ouellette of Richmond Hill was charged with driving with- out a driver‘s license. All teacher requirements for September have been filled for the area schools, Chairman Bick told the board, and supplies for Trustee McMurchy pointed out that there are 25 public and sep- arate schools connected with the high school board, and for the board to meet with them and try to discuss their problems would be impossible. “The only value I see in it," he stated, “is in the question of public relations, I am not opposed to it." The meet- ing then nominated the two prin- cipals to meet with the public school board and report back later to the high school board, the result of the meeting. (Continued from page 1) board that a. progressive record he kept on students in high school and forwarded back to the public school board, since it would entail a tremendous amount of additional paper work. Relating to this Principal Mor- row said there w'és once a ques- tion posed as to how many sons of United Church members had attended school in Hamilton â€"- School Failures “it took two months and two sec- retaries working full time to find the answers,” Principal Morrow said. Regarding the foregoing situation. Mr. Morrow said, “I can‘t see any relation between failures of grade nines to present grade eights.” Principal Els n concurred stat- ing, “1 think he first year in high school is important and we give the public schools all the co-operation we can.” Reports on students are sent to their former schools at Easter and Christmas in grade nine. “But the fact that a student quits in grade 10 or grade 11. would have no hearing or reflection on his public school background," Mr. Elson con- cluded. Ortheopedic Class Held 100% Attendance April the kindergarten and primary classes have already been pur- chased. University Extension Principal Sand informed the trustees that at the last princi- pals' meeting an attempt was begun to get university extension work up in this area. “This is a very worthwhile effort”, he said, “and it may be we can establish it in this area, or in Richmond Hill." To which Trustee J. Tay- lor advised. "I think if the board can do anything to help this. they should give the principals every support." ArchiteCts ’Show Film by Caroline Edwards The shortage of trained per- sonnel in almost every technical and skilled phase of hospital op- eration continues to be one of the most pressing problems fac- ing the hospitals of our province. For this reason and also because at this time high school students are choosing their careers, a re- view of the opportunities offered in this field is in order. Jackson and Ypes, construction engineers and architects, appear- ed before the board and pres- ented a series of coloured slides to illustrate the type of construc- tion they have employed in build- ing schools in Richmond Hill, Stouffville, Owen Sound, Picker- ing ,etc. stating they would wel- come an opportunity to serve the board when future schools are planned for the area. Chair- man Roy Bick thanked the ar- chitects for a very interesting evening, in which all the trustees had joined in asking questions â€" from types of flooring, heat- ing and plumbing that were most practical; on to how windows should be hung. or what finish should be employed in walls. Your hospital is held in high esteem in your community, for it provides round-the-clock service for the sick and injured. It is a modern, highly developed, scien- tific institution employing many skilful, educated people. Hospi- tals offer interesting. vital car- eers for young people who wish their lives to be of service to others. Further information about hos- pital careers will be available at York County Hospital on Nation- al Hospital Day. The date this is being held at York County Hos- pital is May 21, 1958. and all high school students in the district in- terested in hospital careers are invited to attend and see at first hand the work that goes on be- hind the scenes and meet the peo- ple engaged in the many aspects of hospital operation. Vice-chairman Allan Parker, who some time ago presented an elipsical type of school plan to the board ,asked Mr. Jackson if this would not be a new and prac- tical approach to school-housing, to which Mr. Jackson replied they are now working on a square hall school plan, that might prove even more economical and striking. This plan however has not yet been approved by the De- partment of Education. The Dietition: is a member of the hospital professional team, and regardless of the size of the hospital, her duties are many and varied. She actively participates with the administration of the hospital through supervision and training of staff; planning and layout; purchasing and instalQ- tion of equipment; procurement of food supplies; preparation and service; and general sanitation of the food service department. The minimum requirements are as follows: senior matriculation or its equivalent, with two sen- ior matriculation sciences, one of which must be chemistry, and the other, either physics or biol- ogy. and two senior matriculation mathematics. The course itself consists of from 12 to 24 months of clinical training in an approv- ed training school laboratory as- sociated with a hospital. The three following listed pro- fessions offer opportunities in hospital careers: â€"- Entrance requirements are us- ually Grade XIII. with a stand- ing of 60% in the subjects se- lected. Grade XII is permissible only at the University of Western Ontario, London, providing other requirements are met. Some cour- ses may be completed in three years; others require four years. The Laboratory Technologist: aids the doctor in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Young students with an aptitude in the sciences who desire to employ their talents worthily in the ser- vice of the sick have in this field a very absorbing and satisfying career open to them. The Medical Librarian: is the "custodian" of the medical rec- ords. She ecu-ordinates and organ-i izes information submitted by the various departments so that a complete file of the patient‘s re- cord may be available for the care of the patient, education, promotion of research. and pre- vention of disease. This profess- ion is a new one in the hospital field but one that has an import- ant role to play in relation to the hospital ‘as a unit. The requirements for this course are senior matriculation or diploma of graduation from a nursing school. and in addition proficiency in shorthand and typ- ing AT 9 ILM. god/aila ounfy ewé Dave Rennie is dead.

To be erected at an estimated cost of $10,000 the new type mercury- vapour lighting will extend from the southern limits of the town at Harding Park Boulevard to the northern limits at the Elgin Mills Sideroad. These new lights will replace the present system of street lights. For some time now the commission has been studying an improved street lighting sys- tem for the important Yonge Street area. It is planned to start work on the project at once. Friend OfMany,Dave Rennie Dead Funeral Fri.
