PAGE FOURTEEN 2 id 'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1929 ools Open on Tuesday; Are the Kiddies' Clothes Ready THE OLD OSHAWA COLLEGIATE BUILDING BEFORE THE N EW ADDITIONS WERE STARTED Vocational Institutes in Ontario. But many of the fathers and mothers of Oshawa have happy recollections of the school days they spent inthe building pictured above. PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE COLLEGIATE AND A TYPICAL GROUP OF STUDENTS Never again will a group picture exactly like this be possible. Tt shows a group of students in front of the old Collegiate building, as it was before the wreckers demolished this section to make room for the new additions %ia Cari scars, Ena B 5 THs which will make this one of the finest Collegiate and About 5000 Boys and Girls Will Go to. Collegiate or School Here Next Tuesday Next Tughday means the end of the long two months of summer holidays for about 4,000 public and separate school children of the city of Oshawa, and about 800 collegiate and vocational institute scholars of the city and district. These arc the numbers of boys and girls to whom Tuesday September 3, has a real meaning, To folks who have to go to work, or who stay at home, it will be just another Tuesday, but to those who go 'o school, it will mark the beginning of the 1929-1930 session, of another ten months of study, It is not easy to place an estimate on the number of new scholars who will be going to school for the first time next Tuesday, Last year, on the opening day of school, the increase in enrollment over the previous year was roughly 150, but this was further increased on the following day by about sixty more. In all, however, there will be over 3,500 children going to public school,'about 400 to the St. Gregory's separate school, and over 800 to the collegiate and vocational institute, These figures may be somewhat exceeded, of course, but judging from last ycar's attendance, they should not be very far wrong. A. E, O'NEILL and Vocational Institute. Principal of the Oshawa Collegiate Nearly 5,000 Preparing | This means close to 5,000 boys and girls of Oshawa and the imme- diate vicinity who are now preparing for schooldays, and their parents are having an important part in the "work of preparation. The provision of school clothes, of boots and shoes, and the other very necessary accessories usually presents a big problem to the mothers and fathers. NEW LITERATURE Merchants Helping It is for this very reason that this special "Schooldays Scction" of The Times is published. The merchants who are co-operating in making it possible are anxious to help the mothers and fathers solve these problems, and their announcements should be a very welcome help to all those who are faced with the task of outfitting their children for school. An event which involves about 5000 boys and girls is a big event, worthy of being given special attention, and the local merchants, with their usual enter- prise and desire to be of service to the citizens, are ready to mect the needs of every boy and girl, every mother and father, in the matter of providing the many necessitics for the school opening on Tuesday next. The announcements in this edition are very timely, and are worthy of the careful study of every father and mother whose boy or girl is going to school, whether for the first time or not, next Tuesday.
