In years past, education as pro. vided by the state was more or less a general training for eitizenship declared Allan ¥, Annis, chairman of the vocational education commits tee of the Board of Education in the course of an interesting and highly instructive nddress given he fore the Rotary Club at its regular noon luncheon today, Formerly, he elaimed, the training which a youth could obtain st the high schools was of no great practical value unless he was preparing to enter a profession, Now, however, through the establishment of tech nical schools a boy eould receive a grounding In several of the mont important and useful trades, he pointed out, In tracing the history of eduens tion, Mr, Annis stated that in the Middle Ages it had heen fostered by the cdhureh and was designed chiefly to make the pupil a good citizen, This form of education was only available to the privileged few but although the great majori- ty of people were illiterate practic: ally all were taught some. trade by which to earn thelr llving, The knowledge of pottery making, of weaving and of carpentry wag hand- ed down through families and from the children to the children's chile dren, Later the guilds were formes od with thelr systems of apprens ticeship which resulted in a high degree of mechdhical skill, The coming of the factory system had however, disrupted the trades so that at the present time one finds men following certain trades with- out having gone through an ade- quate apprenticeship, Mr, Annig thought that the boy or girl who is born on the farm is taught much of practical value which the eity boy or girl is. not given an opportunity to learn, In 1900 technical education first made its appearance in this pro- vinee on a large scale when Toronto erected a technical school, Nine the Dominion Government, reallz- ing that between 82 and 50 per cent, of the people of Canada earns ed thelr ving by engaging in in. dustrial trades, set aside an ap- proximate sum of one million dol. lars each year for ten Years In order to nid the provinces in estab.

This is why, he stated, Oshawa was sn anx- fous to start building Its technical school last year in order to benefit from the grant, The program of Instruction as it will be carried on In the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute will luclude training in motor mech« anies, machine shop practice, draft. Ing, electrical work, plumbing, wood working, sheet metal work and also Instryetion in Important academic subjects such as reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics, In conclusion Mr, Annis empha sized that any suggestions concerns ing the operation of the technicm department would be welcomed and he trusted that the Rotarians would take a keen interest in this new departure in educating the youth of the city and distriet, A hearty vote of thanks for the splendid address by Mr, Annis was moved by Rotarian Ross McKinnon and tendered to him by President George Hart, A brief but Interesting five min. ute talk was also given by Dr, 8, Phillips on the subject of dentistry, HOSPITAL ANNUAL MEETING TONIGHT Reports Will be Presented . and Officers Elected This evening the annual meeting of the Oshawa General Hospital is to be held in the Nurses' Residence' starting at 8 o'clock, The princis pal business before the meeting will be the presentation and cons sideration of the various reports of the operation of the hoapital for the last year, and the eleation of the members of the Hospital Board, As was announced some time ago, Gordon D.
