Although many famous tech- nical schools were built in the ’20’s. said Mr. Chapman. tech nical education was never really accepted. It was aimed at the blue collar worker, at students teachers considered not suited for university. The second spurt in emphasis} on technical education, he con-‘ tinued, came after World War II and the launching of Sputnik II, but only a small percentage of graduates from technical courses found employment in the work they were trained for. “The Department of Labor and the Department of Educa- tion were not pulling on the same team." Th automotive industry, said Mr. hapman, was one of the few that gave credit to ap- prentices for training in school. tion?" he asked. “Is it a gen- eral education. an experience in which students have the op- portunity to discover order and form, design and pride in a job well done? Is it pre-voca- tional training for a saleable skill? Is it the old industrial arts approach, learning about design, materials and machines, but at not much more than a hobby kind of level?” “Why are we teaching tech- nical and commercial educa- As a result of rapid changes in education and in technology generally, many educators are in a state of confusion about these questions Mr. Chapman continued. The colleges of applied arts and technology have done much to change the direction of tech- nical education, reported George Isford of the Depart- ment of Education’s Technolog- ical Studies Branch. Whereas 75 percent of graduates of tech- nical courses went into tech- nical pursuits in the past, now about 75 percent of them go on to community colleges. In 1951 about 41 percent of young people age 15 to 19 were in school. In 1969, 79 percent of this age group were in school. York County Board of Education is attempting to determine the aims and objectives of technical education in county schools, but trustees are finding it is not an easy task._ The Robarts Plan for tech- nical education introduced in Ontario about ten years ago was very narrow and direct, ex- plained Mr. Isford, with stud- ents specializing in only one area. This approach is no‘ longer suitable, and. many stud- ent who would not formerly have gone beyond grade 9 or 10 are now staying in school, acquiring learning skills that cover a wider spectrum so that they can go on to further study. At a meeting on November 16, two representâ€" atives of the Department of Education’s Technolog- ical Studies Branch, members of the board’s advisory vocational committee, and technical directors of the county’s 14 secondary schools gave their opinions of past and present technical and commercial courses and attempted to indicate the route it should follow in the future. Department of Education Program Consultant William Bergey suggested that the aim should be to provide “technical‘ literacy” for students, and that all secondary school students should take a single or double credit in a technical area. “There is a very necessary role for technical education, not only for boys, but for ‘young ladies, too," declared Mr. Berg- ey. Some girls, he said, take an optional course in auto mechanics five periods a week, but they get no credit for it. Through technical training other subjects could be made more meaningful, he explained. History and science could be tied into the study of the steam engine, the motor car, and stud- ents thus encouraged to pro- ceed to community colleges. The Board’s Superintendent of Planning and Development Stephen Bacsalmasi agreed. DEVELOP BASIC SKILLS “We should think about to- morrow. There is a definite shift in the working force from manufacturing to servicing." The need. he suggested, is for a well rounded general educa- tion followed by intensive on- the-job experience. MUSSELMAN’S LAKE: A 21- lyear-old Owen Sound man last week in Newmarket Provincial Court was convicted of animal cruelty in the October 18 heat- ing of an English Bulldog. The heating took place dur- ing a wedding shower for Vic- tor Showers' fiancee at the home of Mrs. Catherine Shaw, Mitchell Drive.

Some tech- nical knowledge. declared Mr. Bacsalmasi should be part of every person's education. Theâ€"technical directors gen- erally favored broad aims for technical education. Technical and commercial courses, said Don Frise, tech- nical director at Bayview Sec- ondary School, should be a Showers admitted kicking the dog once after it barked and growled at him.

He was most convincing and the children loved his awkwardness and excellent pratfalls.“ The Calif of Bagdad was a compelling figure played by Tony Pierre. Compelling I say because he stood over six feet I’m sure, dressed in flowing white satin robes with beaded weskotand huge rings. His voice was soft but resonated command and every- one there knew he was boss. Sinbad, obviously the hero‘ (Tom Lambrakos) was a true-to-life hero, befriending the orphan cabin boy, destroying all evil and marrying the heroine. Bing-Bangâ€"Bong was Alan Aylward (Scrabble from the previous play). He was one of the villains and he was just evil enough to allow the children to distrust him but accept his fate at the end. - “01* a1 Barbara Garvin was our beautiful ’mermaid, turned woman to marry Sinbad. She did well. But Sharkel . . . Sharkel the nasty villain was superb. He was Snidely Whiplash, Oil-can Harry and all of Batman’s enemies rolled into one. The children were just beside themselves when Shelly Dillman was playing this character. They loved him! He snarled and hissed and lept around the stage and the audience booed and hissed back. (D’arcy was genu- inely frightened at first). There was excellent com- munication between this actor and the children. The cabin boy, Ali Shabam was handled well by Brenda Harrison and she took some great spills and‘ beatings in her role. Unfortunately the girls of the Calif’s court seemed bored with the whole play. _In~ Aiifit' was most entertaining. _ The costumes in Sinbad were colourful and well made, sets simple and believable, and it ran very! smoothly.‘ mu iyour chifdren.

Stud-i ents have a lot to learn on their first job, about union member- ship and other problems they are going to meet in industry. ACADEMIC VS. VOCATIONAL “We tend to differentiate too much between the academicI and the vocational," declared William Neal, a member of the advisory vocational committee. “The aims and objectives are the same. Each student should have the opportunity to advance| to the limit of his potential.". A saleable skill, he declared could lead the student into em- ployment, into a community college, or into university. Some committee members dis- agreed, insisting that vocational education should equip a per- son to make a living. @@ Stores 884-4401 Starr, trustee for Whitchurch- Stouffville, moved that the ad- visory committee be asked to prepare a report for the board setting out suggested aims and objectives of technical and commercial education in the county. The motion was approved. and Committee Chairman Mor- ley Kinnee. ,trustee from Vaughan Township, invited other trustees to put forward their ideas regarding a philos- ophy for vocational education.
