tHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1928 PAGE THREE Education Board Takes Another Step Toward Technical School 800 Students Are Now Enrolled at Collegiate Public School Registrations Are Establishing a Record With an Enrolment at Pre- sent of 3,292 -- Centre Street Has Largest Num- ber With 710 + Registration at the Oshawa Col- legiate Institute yesterday reached an even 800, sald Principal A. E. O'Neil in his report to the Board of Education last night. The nunrber of pupils is still growing, and the registration may reach 825, Mr. O'Neill stated. The 800 pupils registered are divided as 511 in the academic courses and 289 in the commercial classes. A feature of the registra- tion is the fact that 41 pupils have enrolled in the fifth form in the academic work, which is a very high registration of pupils taking upper school work, The fourth form numbers 57 pupils, third form 80, second 138 and first 195. In the commercial classes there are 169 in the first form, é6 in the se- cond, 36 in the regular third form and 18 in the special tlass. Public school regisraions are al- so establishing a record, as indi- cated by the report of Supervis- ing Principal C. F. Cannon, pre- sented to the Board, which shows * that there are now 3,292 pupils in the public schools of the city with the list swelling every day, Centre 'street school has the largest enroll- ment, with 710 pupilé, and Ritson road school is next with 500. North Simcoe school has 421 pupils. Mary street school 331. King st. school 321. Albert street school 257, Ce- dardale school 309. and South Sim- coe street school 443, To relieve the congestion at North Simcoe school a new class room» has been opened, and several pupils have been transferred to that school from Mary street school, One of the new class rooms in the Ritson road school addition is already in use, and it is expect- ed that two others may be ready next week. The congestion at King street school has been relieved by transferring several pupils to Rit- son road school, and a number of pupils may be transferred from Centre street to Albert street school to relieve the congestion ex- isting among the junior classes in Centre street school. The school accommodation problem for this year will be fairly well solved when Ritson road school condition is com pleted, say Mr. Cannon, Pursuant to a motion of Trus- tees H. S. Smith and Father Bench, the fee payable by the pupils atten- ding the Collegiate from Ontario County will be collected in month- ly installments due on or before the 15th of each month. The fee is $15 per year and will be paid in ten equal monthly installments of $1.50 each. NEW EQUIPHENT AT NEW NARTIN Used Last Evening for the First Time -- Delights Large Audience In operation for the first time last night a packed house saw the film- ing of a picture by the new projec- tion equipment which has just been installed by Manager Ernie Marks at the New Martin Theatre. Apart from the excellence of the picture it- self, the patrons marvelled at the efficiency of the new equipment and the manner in which it threw or projected the reels upon the screen. The new projector, built along the latest styles and incidently built to accommodate the talking movies when they become further commer- cialized, has much greater power in every respect than anything vet seen in this district, Both from a private test yesterday afternoon and in the opening presentation last night, Mr. Marks told The Times he was highly satisfied with the operation of the machine, The brethren of Lebanon, Wednesday, September 12th, E.

Even the weather man has kindly promised a cessation of rain for tomorrow, so that every detail is looking towards the best fair Oshawa has ever had. Local merchants are getting behind the Fair with enthusiasm, and every- where on the grounds booths are be- ing erected and tents hoisted, as ex- hibits are being placed and thé cri- tical eye of the manager himself, sees that every detail is as near perfec- tion as possible, The various build- ings are also rapidly filling up with exhibits this afternoon, and the chairmen of the buildings are on the job, directing placements so that or- der may arise out of chaos as quigk- ly as possible. Exhibits in the build- ings are placed by five tonight, as judging. commences at 8.30 tomorrow morning. "The largest display of radios ever shown in Oshawa" is promised by the Luke Furniture company, who have a booth near the flower and fruit building that is 50 by 50 feet in size, This is much larger than this firm has ever carried before.

PRINCIPAL MARY | STREET SCHOOL I RESIGNING POST Miss Helen M. Keddie De- sires Change--Will Remain on Teaching Staff PRINCIPAL 18 YEARS The resignation of Miss Helen M, Keddie as principal of Mary street public school, was last night accept- ed by the Board of Education on re- commendation of the management While Miss Keddie is resigning as principal she will con- tinue as a teacher in Mary street school, being in charge of the prim- ary class at her own request. Miss Keddie has been principal of Mary street school for eighteen years having accepted this position after several years as teacher of the en- trance class and, earlier, of the prim- ary department in Centre street school. She is one of the veteran teachers on the staff of the Oshawa public schools, and her resignation as principal, of Mary street school is to allow herseli more lcisure from the arduous duties of the principalship, Miss Keddie states. Miss Jessie Storrar, who succeeds Miss Keddie as principal of Mary street school, has becn on the public school staff for several years. The resignations of Misses Clara Cox, Marion G. Lick and Venna M, Black from positions on phe public school staff were als» accepted by the Board of Education last night. Mr. A. M. Robinson was appointed to the permanent staff of the public schools. Salary increases were granted to A. L. W, Smith, school attendance officer, and to the caretaker of Cen- tre street school and the assistant caretaker of the Collegiate Institute, A resolution of thanks from the vestry of Christ church, for the use of North Simcoe street school for purposes of worship irom March to June, was received by the Board, The re-insuring of the Oshawa schools, to 'equalize the amount of insurance expiring with each year, was again discussed, and the pro- perty committee was instructed to report to the board the amount of insurance that should be cancelled and. re-insured this year. Pursuant to the scheme instituted last year, one-third of the insurance is cancel- led each year for three years, and re-issued for a three year period, surance expire each year, and con- sequently equalize the amount of the insurance premium due ing each year, A communication from the Court of the King's' Bench informed the Board that their claim against the Great West Permanent Loan Com- pany of Winnipeg, for $323.25, had been allowed, and that the Board would share in the assets of the company, which is in bankruptcy. The Board will receive only a small percentage of this amount, however, it is. expected. This amount was the face value of a bond of the Great West Permanent Loan Company, the interest on which was being used as the Squair and Tamblyn annual scholarships, the Square prize being for highest proficiency in French and the Tamblyn prize being for oratory, The board has not yet decided whe- ther they will, perforce, discontinue the scholarships, or whether they will vote each year money sufficient to make up the deficit in the amount which has been given in each prize each year, eet 40 HOURS FOR WEEK OF 5 DAYS (Continued from Page 1) ed types of machinery was the chief reason advanced for the pro- posal, This development, it was feared, would result in increasing unemployment, were the present working schedule continued, Congress, however, will not tol- erate any reduction in the stan- dards of living, and it is stipulated that the wekly wage on the short- er schedule must be as high or higher than that paid at present, The demand for shorter hours is thus coupled with a demand for higher wages per hour, in order to equalize the weekly return to the wosker, "We can never get intelligence in the working class until we give them leisure," declared Wm. Varley of To- ronto, "There are workers in Tor- onto who are reduced to the level of dogs by long hours. Only by shortening their hours can their standards of pyhsique and intelli- gence be raised" proposal for recog- nition of all Canadian Congress of labor by making overtures of union met with sharp dissapproval and was reflected. It was suggested that in interests of trade union unityfiégo- tiations for amalgamation of trades and Labor Congress with, all Cana- dian congress be opened.

Instructs Committee to Proceed With Plans For School's Erection Five Architects Enter Com- petition Arranged By Ad visory Vocational Com- mittee -- Estimated Cost is About $200,000 --Five Local Architects Submit Plans -- Will Probably Be Built as an Addition to the Collegiate Institute Another step towards the pro- vision of a technical school in this city was taken by the Board of Education at their meeting last night, when they approved the principle of the construction of the school, and instructed the advisory vocational committee to proceed with a view to its erection, Five architects have entered the competition arranged by the advis- ory vocational committee, of which A. W. Bell is ehairman, and have submitted plans of the proposed structure, The estimated cost in each get of plans is around $200. 000 while at least one of the archi- tects added to this an estimate of the eost of finishing the swimming pool for which provision has becn made in the present building. Two local architects, C. C. Sten. house and Roy Bishop, have sub- mitted sketch plans as called for in the competition, while Thomson and Johnson, of Belleville, who recently open- ed offices in this city, are also represented, The other two archi- tects interested in the erection of the structure are John T. Horns- by, Lindsay, and S. B. Coon & Son Toronto. After one of the sets of plans submitted has been approv- ed by the committee and then by the board, the plans will have to be submitted to the Provincial De- partment of Education for final approval, The technical school will prob- ably be built as an addition to the Collegiate Institute and at the front of that building, providing a new Simcoe Street elevation and en- trance. A portion of the older part of the Collegiate, facing on Sim- coe street, may be demolished to make way for the erection of the ical schoo lition, It is expected that the next step on the part of the advisory voca- tional committee will be to select the architect for the structure and also to consider the method of fin- ance, to some extent, A special meeting of the Board may he held to consider the next recommnrenda- tion of the committe as to he se- lection of the architect, The requirements of the Director of Technical Education of the Pro- vince, and of the Department of Education, provide for a complete technical school here in which al- most every one of the more widely followed trades may be taught, These requirements, based on a survey of Oshawa, will have to he met by the local board if they are to receive from the department the maximum grant, which is approxi- mately equal to half of the cost of the building, ---------- FALL RALLY OF NING 31. LEAGUE Takes the Form of a Corn Roast at Bonnetta's Beach a9 < "Twas an enthusiastic and optim- istic gathering of young people who attended the fall rally of the King street Young People's League last evening, A corn roast at Bonnetta's Beach was the program planned and despite the threatening weather the cars went to the beach and arrange- ments were made to carry out the program, but when the rain came, everyone went back to the church, and the corn roast was none the less enjoyable because it had to be held indoors, Following a lively sing song the president, Mr. Meredith Moffatt, took charge of the worship service, and called on Rev, C. E, Cragg to ad- dress the gathering. Mr. Cragg's message was most appropriate, his subject being "Ideals." He urged the young people both as individuals and as a group to have an ideal and set that ideal high enough to make it worth while. After the business of the evening was finished everyone enjoyed the corn, the social hour and games which followed. LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT HERE GIVEN IMPETUS Enthusiastic and Well Ate tended Meeting Held Last Evening That the Little Theatre Moves ment is a practical and probably certain thing in Oshawa is evie denced by the fact that more than 25 interested persons attended a special meeting of the prospective organization last night and de« cided to take acti 'e steps in place ing the proposition on a firm foot« ing. The meeting was held in tha board room of the Cassels, Biggar, Turner and Crawford Company, Alger Block. In speaking to a representative of the Times this morning, F., Ge Carswell, well-known in the city for his interest in affairs of this kind, said that every effort was being made to secure a large mems bership, possibly 250 to 300 peo« ple, for the Oshawa Little Theatre, so that those responsible for ore ganizing the Little Theatre will have something definite on which to base their actions. At the meeting last night, it was decided and agreed that Mrs, Carswell would sclect five people who would choose twenty-five others and in turn these would se« cure 10 memberships each. Their report will be given at the next meeting to be held on September 18 in the same place, It is most fortunate that John Craig, amateur actor and produce er of some repute, has consented to give his services towards the realization of a Little Theatre in Oshawa. On him will rest the ree sponsibility of managing the Lite tle Theatre, choosing the caste of each production, selecting the plays for presentation, and lastly, pro« ducing them. For this work, Mr, Craig demands, and justly, a yearly, allowance of $2,000. This figure seems large to many, it was said by Mr, Carswell, but in the end the success of the venture will na doubt gratify the expenditure. Mr, Craig has been offered positions in the States which would merit his going to the other side, but now that Oshawa has the opportunity of engaging his services, it would be decidedly unwise to allow him to leave without making an energetic attempt to keep him, The Littla Theatre in Oshawa, under a suitable management, as the Little Theatres in many other centres, will make it a point to present all high class productions, The attendance at these will be of such a magnitude that it will be 8 venture worth while bringing to a concrete basis, This is the opin- fon of more than one person who has been connected with such work in previous instances. With the Little Theatre build- ing located in the former General Motors recreation hall, now situat- ed on the Rotary Park grounds, the program for the coming sea son will be mapped out in detail and work on the plays to be firs{ presented, begun, It is Mr. Craig'« intention, if the people of Oshawa give their support to the Little Theatre movement here, to make his productions of such a superior type that the membership in the organization will reach a poin$ where it will be necessary to limit the membership. During the season Tt is esti- mated by Mr, Craig that from four to six productions may be staged. This,of course, does not necessar- ily mean that only four or six plays will be put on. It means that perhaps on one night two or three one act plays may be given, while on other njghts a major at- traction might be produced, It is certainly up to the people of this city, who appreciate pro- ductions of this high standard to willingly give their whole hearted support to a project easily merit- ing it. They will be canvassed, and it is hoped their answer will be to promise a support to the project, or donate their five dollars to become either active or associ- ate members.
