Registration | In Oshawa's Schools ers to school time is almost here and 14,745 young people in Oshawa are expected to turn up at the city's 24 public schools and four collegiates. A further 4,200 are anticipated at the 11 separate schools. Each year the enrolment fig- ures in Oshawa climb but this will be a record. year with more than 1,180 more pupil reg- istrations than in 1963. Principals have been hard at work during the summer holi- days preparing work schedules and organizing class layouts. There has been a large turn- over of teachers and there will be 114 new faces at the front of Oshawa classrooms, Fifty- one. of the new teachers are additional staff and 63 are re- placements. for teachers who have retired or left to work in other areas. HUB OF ACTIVITY Business administration offices of the Board of Education are a Road Hazards Increase As Schools Open The much discussed "popula- tion explosion' plus national 'affluence' combine to prompt school and police authorities to te-emphasize tthe responsibility of motorists for the safety of all the children in traffic as a new school term approaches. The 'population explosion' has carried school enrollments to astronomical heights at all levels of education. This means that more youngsters than ever before will be on the streets and highways. The_ national affluence has vastly increased car ownership, bringing many new and com- paratively inexperienced drivers into the scene. No small portion of these new drivers are "school children" in their own right--teenagers who have acquired licenses to drive one of the family cars, and many who have acquired cars of their own. MORE NEW SCHOOLS Not only will there be. more schoo] children in the streets and more cars in traffic; many children and many motorists will be traversing. comparativ- ly unfamiliar routes to newly constructed s cho a1 buildings. This in itself adds complexity to the problem of traffic safety for school children. Without co-operation of the individual. motorist, the full measure of traffic safety can- not be assured the children, say the authorities. No matter how carefully guarded, the sheer thoughtless impetuosity of little children all too frequently creates the. emer- gency that must be met by the car driver. Motorists, in addition to being aware of the need for extra care and the need for precise obser- vance of posted regulations and speed limits as the school sea- son approaches, take the respon- sibility for maintaining their cars in perfect mechanical con- dition, so that they may cope with any sudden emergency. Motorists are advised to take their cars to the service station -for a complete .check-up with special attention to brakes, tires, windshield wipers, lights, and responsiveness of the motor 4 any requirement. The forewarnéd motorist op- erating a perfectly functioning car makes an important con- to the safety of school childrén in traffic. hubbug of activity. Last minute details are.being straightened out and final arrangements be- ing made for each individual pupil. Public schdols in the city are expecting 10,525 pupils when they open doors Sept. 8. When school closed at the end of June there were 10,184 pupils in rezu- lar attendance. All teaching positions were filled for public schools last spring and 4 teachers have been employed while 30 teach- ers left the system. The in- crease of 16 new teachers is. spread out among the schools. Officials are aiming at an average class size of 32 but it is likely to be about 35 with stan classes going as high as MORE TEACHERS The four high schools wil} have a total increase of 426 pupils and 66 additional teach- ers have been employed. McLaughlin Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute will have 19 new teacers; 12 are replace- scool and seven are additions to the staff, Expected enroiment } Institute will be taking in 1,000 pupils compared to 869 last year and there will be nine additioal teachers.
