Guidance towards improvement of study habits and a favorable attitude toward work rather than toward direction of studies as stressed in secondary schools, is also possible in senior schools, it was noted. This leads children to realize their privileges and re- sponsibilities as students, it was stated, and assists in a satisfactory transition to grade 9. The committee reported that more study will probably be required of the physical re- quirements of such a program in Richmond Hill. It recommends two small schools of ap~ proximately 15 rooms each to take care of the 900 pupils presently in grades 7 and 8. They noted that special equipment in librar- ies, home economics rooms and industrial arts shops would be required. Transportation and a lunch room might also be needed.

High School Secretary Suffers Heart Attack Mrs. McAlister expects to be be back at her post with the high school board some time before Christmas. She was appointed secretary of the board in 1950. At that time it had no permanent meeting place and had charge of only the Rich- mond Hill District High School. Mrs. McAlister has taken an active part in each step of its growth up to its present stage in which it directs five secon- dary schools accommodating over 3,000 pupils. Mrs. J. R. McAlister, 86 Arnold Crescent, secretary- treasurer of the York Cen- tral District High School Board is making satisfac- tory progress at York Cen- tral Hospital where she has been since suffering a heart attack on October 13. l “I believe there is much sym- pathy in other parts of Canada with the wishes and intentions of French-speaking Quebeckers to play a much bigger part in the affairs in their own prov- ince and also to play their full part on the national scene" he said. There would be wide- spread acceptance and support if the term “two nations" meant two cultural societies valued and respected as enriching one another, and two languages which should be recognized and in the future spoken by many more people everywhere in Canada. Rut if ‘hn [Arm “fun: nu- of them almost revolutionary. he noted. made it imperative that people must be given the kind of skills that will enable them to adapt to new jobs. “This rapid change in society creates one of the biggest chal- lenges facing all levels of gov- ernment. from local school boards to the federal govern- ment." Mr. Gordon emphasized. It is because of this that succes- sive federal governments have supported the building of voca- tional schools. sponsored tech- nical training programs, pro- vided funds for universities. youth allowances and interest- free loans to students. Mr. Gordon attributed the prosperity in Canada, more op- portunities and higher incomes, in large measure to the expan- sionist policies introduced by the Pearson government and expected that such expansion-l ary policies would be required for some years to come. It is estimated that in the next five years another three quarters of ‘a million people will be enter- ing the Canadian labour force, through natural population in- crease alone. apart from immi- gration. )na The future ahead of Canada is tremendously exciting, stated the Honourable Walter Gordon, Minister of Finance at the official opening of Langstaff Secondary‘School last Fri- day. At the same time. Mr. Gordon stressed that the country could not survive if divided into several, or even two economic divisions. But if the term “two na- tions” meant two separate and distinct economic enti- ties, he felt that “most Canadians, including, most people in Quebec. would oppose it very strenuous- ly." Technologicu advances. some MORE HOMES & LAND LISTED AND SOLD kindergarten to grade 8 school and in a senior school, but felt there was no doubt the per pupil cost would be greater. They felt in- tensive use of rooms and equipment in one or two locations would be much more econ- omical than if the same rooms and equipment were provided in the present six schools. Costs will be less, the committee felt, if establishment of senior schools coincides with the need for additional space caused by in- creased enrolment. This might lead to intro- duction of a senior school in one area much in advance of other areas, they reported. Disadvantages of senio1 schools were noted as parental and pupil criticism of the distance to be travelled, increase in social activities and increased costs. Hoxvm e1 once a senior school is established. most of these criticisms disappear it was claimed and grade 6’ers can’t wait to make the move into a senior school. The committee recommended establishment at Ciosby Heights School on a gradual basis as staff and facilities become available of a senior school program for children living east of the CNR track and as enrolment re- quires, rovision of accommodation for those living W at of the CNR. I NOR ln thanking Mr. Gordon for his address and through him the federal government for its as- sistance in the building of the Langstaff school and others in the area, John Honsberger, vice-chairman of the York Cen- tral District High School Board. presented him with a specially bound copy of the lectures given at Thornhill Secondary School last spring entitled “Re- building the Canadian Union".
