TU. 4-1529 STATE FARM INSURANCE Secondary School Inspector Johnson, who has been oversee- ing high school education for the province in this district for many. years calls the board’s move to inaugurate the technical course “A step in the right direction. And a step that is somewhat a long time in coming.” ‘1' his Sepiembg The main difference between the usual Grade 9 general course and the new technical course is the deletion of French as a re quired subject. This will allow a student two technical options instead of the present one in the first year of high school. The technical options this fall will be drafting and shopwork. When the composite addition is com- pleted it is expected electrical, automotive and other shops will be included. The main core of Grade Nine will remain the same with the required subjects of English, So- cial Sciences, Mathematics and Science. While the complete technical course can be completed in four years, if a student decides to con- tinue into Grade 13 this can be done and university requirements met provided the student takes an additional two year language course. Usually this must be done outside of the regular school day as an "extra" subject. Or if desired a pupil can elect at Grade 10 to enter the regular general course, leading to matriculation. Chairman Axelson said while the board viewed the step in the same light it would probably not have taken the final decision to do it at this particular time if a new addition to Thornhill High School had not been an immedi- ate necessity. High Schools to Have “Limited” Technical Plans approved by the York Board included the establishment of “limited”, two years, technical courses at the other three high schools in the district; Bayview High School, Richmond Hill High School, and Woodbridge High School. At the end of two years those wishing to continue their technical course will be able to do so at Thornhill High School. The new technical school will be incorporated into Thornhill High School when it becomes a composite school on completion of the proposed addition. This ad- dition, including both academic and technical classrooms, is now in the process of getting necess- ary approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. York County approved of debenturing the building toward the end of last year. Principal A. S. Elson of Thorn- hill is readying the forms for dis- tribution to the elementary schools in the district. Public School Inspectors Maynard Hall- man of Markham Township Schools, Superintendent Gordon McIntyre of Richmond Hill, and Superintendent J. A. Gibson of Vaughan Township, have indicat- ed they will inform their prin- cipals of the proposed new course. Superintendent Gibson advocated at a meeting of the ofiicials with members of the Management Committee of the high school board and Inspector Davies, that an effort be made to organize several meetings with parents in the various commun- ities making up the high school district to inform them of the new course. Chairman of the Management Committee John Wilson presid- ed at the meeting in Thomhill High School on Wednesday even- ing when the new plans were dis. School At Thornhill The grades of “these chosen few” Will have to be of good calibre and the students will have to be recommend- ed by their respective principals, but final decision as to who will apply to enter the new course will be up to the parents of the students concerned. Any parents desiring their children to be considered for the course are advised to obtain the forms from the school principals in Febru- ary and return them without delay. . . o 1 In the light of present day demands by science and industry more emphasis upon secondary school technical education is demanded, believes the York Central District High School Board. Adds Chairman Eric Axelson, “We’re going to try to have the best pupils in our district as we inaugurate this course.” By Jane Manning Forty pupils of this year’s grade eight classes in com- munities comprising the York Central High School Dis- trict, who are passing into the first year of high school this fall are to inaugurate the new technical course to be offered by our highuschools: - .. u. u . a n 40 Students To Inaugurate High School TechnicaICouursg Due to the overwhelming sup- port and generosity of you good people The Gift Cupboard at the Cancer Society‘s Headquarters re- ceived most of the gifts, purchas- ed with the money raised-only a few being kept for local use. The gifts thus acquired were sent to patients in outlying dis- tricts where there is neither a unit nor a branch of the Soc- iety. They bring untold joy to patients, as evidenced by files of letters of thanks. During the year three mem- bers, Elmer Bryson, Nelson Kerr and Alex McNeil were ordained and inducted as elders. The oth- er members of the session are Rev. B. F. Andrew, Moderator, Mr. John McGillivray, Archie Cameron (Sr) clerk of the ses- sion, Louis Egan and Alex Bish- op. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises by the pas- tor Rev. B. F. Andrew. With Rev. Mr. Andrew acting as chair- man and Mrs. Albert Rutherford as secretary the various reports were received and adopted show- ing a healthy balance on hand. The officials of the various church organizations were elect- ed. Mr. John McGillivray and Archie Cameron are the Church Trustees. The annual meeting of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church Vaughan was held on Monday, January 16th, 1961 with a good attendance.

This new Provin- cial thoroughfare is slated to run north and south from Gorm- ley Road to Davis Drive in the township, a distance of just under nine miles.

In addition to provincial grants there are also federal grants to aid in setting up and sustaining technical schools. At the present time accurate figures as the ex- pected grant for the proposed 10- cal composite high school is not known. Members of the high school board are also in the process of appointing an advisory commit- tee to work with certain members of the board to set up the curric- ulum and requirements for the new course.

Miss Mann, from the Youth Di- vision of the Unemployment In- surance Commission in Toronto. said that 85% of the people who finish Grade 9 apply for office positions. Only those with com- mercial training are being hired today. In the past three months she has had hundreds of requests for secretaries, both male and fe- male. but she has had only one applicant to send out. Last week the students at the Richmond Hill High School heard of the changes and opportunities in the office world. So desperate is the need for male stenograph- ers that salaries from $7,000 to $15,000 are offered to men who can report court proceedings. convention meetings, sessions of parliament, and can become sec- retaries to company presidents. Students must realize that training is needed if they are to become successful in this world, and the training they need is of- fered in schools. Miss Angus, from the Sir Isaac Pitman publishing company, spoke to the senior students. Large audiences of students and teachers in Europe and North America have been thrilled by her Vaughan Township Council. at its January 23 meeting, agreed to make a cash allowance of $50 to Concession for fencing necessi- tated by township roadwork, in return for a release from further Mr. and Mrs. J. Glass of the 7th liability. The clerk advised that only two out of five property owners on Crestwood Road have consent- ed to an easement needed for a The speaker's work consists of counselling young people who are looking for office positions. She helps them to find the kind of work that is most suitable for them. This is difficult for she tries to get the kind of work they want, and the kind of position that their standards come up to. Miss Mann emphasized the need for commercial training. In the years 1939-1959 there were many jobs for all but in the 1960’s there are many people after one job. Each year the competition and the need for trained people in- creases. Employers used to train these unskilled people to do the simple jobs but now the employer has neither the time or the money to train these people. These unskill- ed jobs are now, and will be more so, done by automation. The clerk advised council that the grading down of the Gamble Hill had been completed but that the entrance to the new Pine Grove School had not been pav- ed.

Most of her life Is devoted to encouraging young men to learn shorthand. She teaches the first high ‘speed class ever held in Canada. The class consists of 15 men who are learning to write 150 words a minute and up. 17 out of 21 reporters for the Sup- reme Court of Ontario had to be brought in from England. Courses, extensive or element- ary, are available to those who wish to take advantage of them. Of course, as with any earnest endeavour, hard, concentrated study is required to attain the ultimate satisfaction felt by the successful student. demonstrations of the speed pos- sibilities of Pitman shorthand. Miss Angus can write shorthand at 325 words per minute! Authorized the payment of $20 to the Ontario Good Roads Assoc- iation as membership fee. Almost all of the collegiates in Ontario offer such courses for the fut_u_re business men and women. There are subjects which are common to all courses: English, History and Health. The commer- cial subjects available for the course of study are selected, in most part, by the student. The actual commercial subjects may include: Mathematics, Econ- omics, Law, Office Practice, Busi~ ness Practice, Bookkeeping. Spell- ing, Business Correspondence. More subjects which develop a skill may include: shorthand and transcription typewrlting and penmanship. The skilled person is invaluable to his or her em- ployer. To develop this takes ted- ious work, but the rewards are excellent: a high paying vocation and available positions are ‘cer- tain. The duration of these courses may be one to four years if at- tained through a high school. Of course, the four year course would be more extensive as op- posed to the one year special commercial course. But either course prepares the student for the trials and rewards of the busi- ness world.
