GROWSWITHBARRE Full fohoéi Are Plans Po Central finaowum If the present plans of the Barrie District 001 legiate Board materialize Central Collegiate will be come full Composite School in 196263 modern Vocational Wing will house the new technical department for boys and the present well estabilshed commercial department This school will offer full courses in general commercial and tech nical education NATURAL DEVELOPMENT This is natural devoipment in keeping with the grouth of Barrie Academic secondary education was started here in will The commercial course was first offered in 1930 Industrial arts and home econ omics were added in 1951 The latter subjects permit students to determine whether they have special ap titudes in the practical lields they allow some de velopment in them but do no aim to turn out trades men The new Technical Course through more spe cialized equipment and courses of study and with more time or this work will train more directly for em ployment in the trades and industry WELL TIME Barrie has been very fortunate in the timing of this present development With the rapid change to the use of machines and mechanical devices through out our econom there has developed an unemploy ment situation that has disturbed our governments This has resulted in very generous financial support for technical education our new Vocational wins will he in line for this assistance NOT PANACEA Parents students and in fact everyone concerned wlth education should realize that technical educa tion when it comes to Barrie will not perform miracles nor act as panacea for all of our problems large percentage of our students that leave school too soon do not do so because of lack of ability but because of an unwillingness to work This coupled with lack of selfdiscipline and ambition results in the present pool of unemployed persons wth little or no secondary education Since languages are usually omitted from tech nical course it seems to be easier to achieve limited success without as much hard work Students who take this course because they are not wining to work hard or because they wish to escape languages will not make good employees Too many of such stud ents grouped together not only give themselves bad name but give the course they are associated with bad name also Recent studies have shown that language is ara thinking of taking this course parents or these BY BOWMAN Principal Barrio Central Collegiate probably the best predictor for success at the univer sity level Experienced teachers would confirm this fact at the secondary school level students boys in particular who indicate weakness in French even at the grade level are usually indicating general weakness and technical course although it may hide it will not correct it In the commercial course the subject of shorthand which is really new language performs similar service Wise employers will choose commercial girls who have shorthand as an option even though it may never be used tor the particular job CRITICIZB GENERAL COURSE Many criticize our general course because it does not tralnrdirectly for job Graduates must start at the bottom and work up Yet again many employers will prefer student with good general development to one with narrow specialty In our commercial course lob training is reasonably successful In tEChnical courses it is much more difficult Probably one could be reasonably accurate in say ing that even in the technical field the better the boy the more general should be his education students with very limited ablllty may have to be trained for specific jobs ONE CONSIDERATION With these reservations in mind we should wei come this new development to our district Boys who buys teachers who are teaching them should have one consideration in mind occupations may be dif ferent yet all are important An occupation shouldbe chosen because one has special gifts for it or because it has special attraction for one Every occupation has unlimited opportunity for those willing to work hard and for those who pre pare weil for it Our commercial department is firmly established in the school and in the community our students are proud to be in our commercial department Some in their senior years are convinced and are rather proud that they work just as hardvor harder than some of our general students Many Commercial grad uates hold fine responsible jobs We would hope that our technical students have this same aim in mind YOUR AmITION IS IMPORTANT Choose the course because it leads to your ambl tion Then work toryour capacity until you reachit Bring honour to yourself and to the course you have chosen Parents teachers and all members or the community will have part to play in firmly estab lishing this new course as an equal partner witlliour General and Commercial Courses North Picks TOp Boy Girl Cadets Chew Up Bullseves By LESHE COXALL Students of Grade 18 have clefted their head boy and bead
