PAG MO frT THE CANADIAIi STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO__________ HUItSDÂY OCTOBER 28, 1650 'Z New Public Schools for ODM Oies Wilh Rural Schools Leading the Way Education la a No. 1 problem in many comnxuntles these days in which the courses are being mod- ernlzed, new schools are being bullt, others are being enlarged and teachers' salaries are being increased ta make the profession attractive as well as maintairi- lng a proper standard of living for teachers. With these thoughts ln mind Our attention was drawn ta a re- cent address given at Taranto Ro- tary Club by Dr. J. G;* Althou se, Chief Director of Education for the Province of Ontario, under the above heading. Extracts frorn this most informative address follow: Dr. Althouse stated that durlng1 the last twelve months 250 newt sciacls costing 30 million dollars had been opened inOntaria, and this would be duplicated next1 year. These schools are differenti from the aid ones. They provide better accommodation, better equipment, better lighting, better ventilation. The transformation is flot confined ta the buildings; it extends ta what goes on in the school, particularly in the attitude of the pupils. Dr. Aithouse painted out that in the past most of the boys and girls left school as soon as they reached the age when they were no longer campelled ta go; and the cost per pupil increased as the number of pupils diminished. The reason pupils left school was that they could not see how the courses they were taking wouid benefit them in later life, and therefore lost lnferest. Educat- ors had been aware of this for years, but they had failed ta arouse public concern over the situation. However in 1948 educators enlist- ed the aid of Commerce, Industry, tE il pi i -NOV.6 - .

Thi had stiiliulated the interest of tl pupils. Thc attendance at Rur High Schools had increased fro 1945 ta 1949 by 40 per cent, whi that of Urban High Schools hi lucreased only 15 per cent, no withstanding tic fact that oi greatest increase in populatic had been lu tic urbain and subu: ban centres. A byproduct hi been a better community life fc pupils and adults alike.

Dr. Althouse expressed appreci ation for tic co-operation th, -chools had received from th Provincial Dcpartment of Educa tion, County Representatives, Or ganizations of Farmers and Rura Women's Associations, as well au from the Universities of tic Proý vince whose assistance had beer invaluable Finally Dr. Althousc drcw at. tention ta three elements of suc. cess in carrying out tie new pro. ect- 1. Abandonment af the polic3 of sticking to tiechciice of sub- ects made when enteming the High School. Pupils should be permitted to change courses when experience indicates that it is advisable to do so. 2. Co-operation of tie com- niunity. The school alone can- not do it. 3. Importance o! individual in- tiative and imagination on tie art af teachers, haying lu mind ical needs. gh Since the federal government d began its pragramn of encouraging nm hospital construction two years 50 ago, it has aided haspitals in On- e tario in providing space for 6,310 e beds.1 ol This was disclosed here today ve by Hon. Paul Martin,' minister uf M National Health and Welfare, in Id announcing grants to hospitals in Bowmanvilie, Niagara - on - thc - -Lake. Espanola, Parry Sound and le Port Arthur. le In Bowmanviile a new Memor- ! al Hospital is being buiit to re- al place one which has become ob- solete. It will have modemn mcd- 's !cal, surgical and obstetrical faci- )- lities, beds for 50 patients and a ý20 bassinet nursery. The present hospital has 20 beds. Construct- ion is to be finlshed next summer, and the federai grant toward tie cost will be $56,600. A new 30-bed hospital is being Ybuilt at Niagara-on-the-Lake to replace the present 10-bcd insti- "tution. When building is com- "pleted ncxt summer, it will serve *about 4,600 people in that district. The federal allocatiort toward this project is $30,600. At Espanola a new wing has been added to the General Hos- pital to accommodate four more patients and a seven-bassinet nursery. This hospital serves 1about 8,000 people in a district stretching west to Spanish, east ta Turbine and south to White- fish Falls. St. Joseph's Hospital, Parry Sound. is adding a two-storey ad- dition to cantain space for 33 pa- tients, an 18-bassinet nursery and meiated facilities. A section oi the hospital now being used for ac- commodation of patients will be withdrawn from hospital uses and rehabilitatcd ta serve as a residence for hospital personnel.
