Vaughanl Township is probably the onlyl municipality in York Region to‘ have this experience. Mayor Illingworth felt con-. sultants could give the council; an unbiased non-political opin- ion on who was needed for the. region staff and how many, plus, an evaluation of how efficiently the staff is operating as presâ€" ently organized. York Regional Council December 10 decided to defer the hiring of a personnel officer. Council members seemed to want to have more information on the subject and time to think about it. Appointment of such a staff member is a new departure for most councillors. Up to now they have only been familiar with the operation of the previous smaller municipalities and fragmented commissions and boards in the old York County.

It points out that such a school would not be a luxury, that capital and operational costs would be no greater than for other secondaiy schools, and that it could very easily be less. The principal of the school would have the qualifications required by law, but would also hopefully be an artist or a teacher of one of the arts, and he would be assisted by a dean of the arts from the art division of the system. PERFORMING ARTISTS The members of the arts fac- ulty, says the report, should be selected from artists according to their achievement, their abil- ity and willingness to teach, and they should be encouraged to continue their creative work, or to continue to perform, thus establishing and maintaining their status in the field of the arts. Academic staff, both in the elementary and secondary sec- tion. would have the same quali- fications and responsibilities'ras their confreres in the convent- ional schools. It is pointed out that almost; 1.000 secondary school students in York County elected art and music options in grades 11 and 12 in 1969. and it is probably safe to say that 15 percent of these students, if given the reliance, would have the abilty and desire to attend a school of the arts. In addition, there are num- bers of students studying music and other arts privately, stuâ€" dents who would have elected dance, sculpturing and theatre arts if they Were available at a level to suit their talents in the county schools. Nor would the creative, or performing arts be the only areas of concern of such a school. Mr. Bacsalmasi envis- ages establishing an art-technol- ogy program at the secondary level. “Audio and lighting technic- ians for theatre and television will be required in ever in- creasing number; television camera work, musical instru- ment making, the techniques and processes of casting sculp- tures in materials such Iplaster, terra-cotta, cements or various metals, just to name a few, could become very im- portant industries in Ontario,” he says in his feasibility study. Screening and selecting stu~ dents could be a very delicate nd painful process. however, Mr. Bacsalmasi suggests there could be a danger that the school might become a haven for bright. artistically inclined chil- dren who would have a wonder- ful time for a few years, but when the time came for de- RICHMOND HILL LIONS CLUB as, manding and serious work they would leave the school in large numbers. ATTITUDES IMPORTANT “The real basis of assurance for the artists is not the tempâ€" orary achievement of the pupils. but their right attitude toward work and study. It may be dev- eloped by the students being active members of the school and accepting the standard and values.” says the report. i To ensure that those who are admitted were serious, and tal- ented, an admission committee would be established to judgel ithe applications and there‘ ’would be auditions held before admission. The school would supply mus- ical instruments and other equipment and tools basic for beginners in the arts, but stu- idents would provide their own jinstruments when selected and , school The summer sessions would also: offer students enrolled in thej school an opportunity for in-l tensive study, additional tutor- ial service and practice in his‘ particular field. The curriculum would in: clude an English program, socâ€"t ial sciences, mathematics, sci-‘ ence, French and other modern languages and physical educa- tion to give students a broad base of general education. Guests attending the meet- ing were almost unanimously enthusiastic. Keith Bissell, Sup-, ervisor of music for Scarboro‘ Board of Education commented that he is envious that the is being planned for York County, not for Scarboro. CULTURALLY DEPRIVED A Thornhill resident, Mrs. Carol Burch of the faculty of_ music, University of Toronto, ballet shoes, tights etc., major instruments when selected and ‘special supplies. , Because practice time would be important, the school would; be open from 8am to 7 pm and; 'on Saturdays, and because ofl ,difficulties in transportation, a, large share of the responsi-i ,bility would fall on the parentsl .where children were some dist- ance from the school. Nor would the school he re- stricted to those who could ‘attend during the regular, school year.

The: county has very little to offer: at present, she declared. and children have to go into Metro for training and exposure to the arts. This deficiency, she says, shows up in students seek- ing admission to the faculty of music and other schools for the arts. Another Thornhill resident, Anthony Antonacci, flutist with ed that there is a serious short- age of competent musicians in. Ontario and in Canada, that all‘ ional government that was rec-i ominended to council by Chair-, man Garfield Wright in Octo.l ber. Chairman Wright's organ- izational blueprint was adopted, by council as submitted. Mr. Wright no doubt had the advice of the Department of Municipal Affairs available in planning the organization of the new regional government, but council members weren’t in a mood to rubber stamp the per- sonnel officer appointment. Under the blueprint for reg- ional government organization, the personnel officer would be attached directly to the office of the chief administrative of-l ficer. “When a personnel officer is appointed, he would act in an advisory capacity to the admin- istrative officer," said Chair- man Wright in his October re- port to council on a proposed administrative and legislative organization. “It is also expected that, in- itially at least, the personnel officer would assist in the pub- lic relations program of the reg- ional government,” wrote Chair- man Wright in October. Appointment of a personnel officer seems to be a key item tablishment of fringe benefit; policies to be approved by coun-I cil, and such other matters as the council may. from time to time, determine." When Mr. Rettie’s rec- ommendation came before council. Aurora Mayor Dick Illingworth suggested a salary range should be established before the job is advertised. He said ap- plicants shouldn’t be al- lowed to set their own salary. Richmond Hill Councillor, .Donald Plaxton wanted to know if a personnel officer is‘ needed for 340 employees. “Do‘ other regions have personnel‘ officers.” he asked. , Markham Mayor Anthony Roman wondered if consultants1 mond Hill Councillor Gordon Rowe warned that should take distance into ac- council- appointments.

There were also enthusiastic comments from Richmond Hill Lawyer Joseph Rabinow'itch and Mrs. Rabinowitch, both well known in local and Metro dramatic, musical and artistic circles. Mr. Rabinowitch commented that much frustration is evident among young people who can ‘find no creative outlets for their energies. The music deâ€" partments in county schools. he said. are producing w onder- ful results. "It is very encourâ€" aging“, but that more is neded. Mrs. Rabinowitch observed that it is “an exciting concept. much overdue.“ Such a school, she said, would be a good start- ing point for young people ded- icated to the arts. “They could take flight from here." NOT SO DIFFERENT Education Dire ct o r Sam :Chapinan pointed out that such 'a school is not really a radical departure, in that business students now and commercial in technical and voca- tional courses. are spending about half their time on aca- demic studies, the rest on prac- tical studies.
