ENROLLMENT AT 0.C.V.1. OVER 1100 Public School Enrolment Shows 160 Increase Over Last Year The enrollment of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute, according to figures pres- ented to the board of education last night by Principal A, E. O'- Neill, stands at 1106, and the principal said that there had been a few additional enrolments since these figures were compiled. The avalysis of the emrolment is as follows: - Academic department: First year, 216; second year, 164; third year, 143; fourth year, 67; fifth year, 40 Total, 630.

Total enrolment -- 1106, The report of the public school inspector showed a total enrol- ment on Sept. 14, 1931, of 3,~ 501, as compared with 3,341 on the corresponding date & year age. an increase of 160. At the opening of the school term, the report sald, there was consider- able congestion at all schools ex- cept Albert street and Cedardale; the crowding being particularly erute at North Simcoe street and Mary street. By transfers, and placing more pupils in practically every classroom, it was possible to absorb the additional 160 pu- pile and close one classroom at Albert street school, PLANS FOR SOCIAL The executive committee of the Oshawa Branch of the Cana- dian Legion met last night and made its plans for the "Execu- tive Night Smoker" which is to be held in Rotary Hall on Thurs- day, October 8.

The establish- ment of farms, the Court added, was the solution of this problem. The costs of putting in steel cells would go a long way towards their establishment. Condemns Stone Cells Continuing Justice Raney opined that there might be a need for jails of the cell type for the violently insane or the desperado, but not for the average prisoner. The jurors were directed to look at the stone cells (the steel cells were bad enough) and see if in their opinion they are a proper place for the confinement of animals, let alone human beings. Cut Down Expenses One of the big problems of to- day, Justice Raney said as he open- ed his address, was excessive taxa- tion, The administration of justice cost a great deal of money. There were in the counties four courts cach year where grand juries gvere called upon for service, two" ses- sions of the Supreme Court and two of the Sessions.

A pointed and inter- esting address was delivered by the Rev. Joseph Barnes, a retired United Church minister now live ing in Oshawa, The renewal of membership and reception of new members was a feature of the evening, and was impressively handled by the minister, Rev. S. C. Moore. At the cloge of the program, an enjoyable social liour was spent and refreshments served, The president, Frank Stirtevant, was in charge of the meeting, and associated with him was Miss Irene Brown, the social viee-president, CONCERT PARTY MEETING The effort to organize a con- cert party of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion will take definite form at a meeting to be held in the "Old Dugout" over the market building at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

GRANTED USE OF HALL In view of the fact that the con- cert to be given by the Massed Choirs of Oshawa is for relief pur- poses ,the board of education, at its meeting last night, granted the free use of the auditorium of the Collegiate and Vocational Institute for his purpgse.

The board also adop- ted a recommendation from the same committee to the effect that non-resident pupils at present at- tending the Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute be refused tui- tion where fees are more than two months in arrears. The same report also provided for the granting of a half holiday to the public schools for the hold- ing of the annual field day on Friday, October 2, and for the appointment to the collegiate in- stitute staff of Arthur M.

Mr. A. H. MacLauchlan, who is well known to the advertising fra- ternity, has been appointed man- ager of the Toronto Office, which is situated in the Reford Build- ding, 217 Bay Street. It is a tribute to the aggressive- ness of this organization that ex- ransion should be undertaken at this time when the general feel- ing of timidity is retarding the return of prosperity. It proves however, that there is still con- fidence in Canada's ability to re- turn to normal conditions, What Others Say NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE Te The Editor, 5 The Oshawa Daily Times. ri ' In your issue of Monday, on the front page, appear two news articles, one under the heading "Appeal Made to Citizens to Pro- vide Jobs For Men" and the other under the heading "Making Re- pairs at Police Station." In the first item the superin- tendent of the Employment Bur- eau tells of men who are anxious to accept any temporary employ- ment in repairing storm windows or jobs around a house, while the second gives the information that members of the City's Fire Department are busy making re- pairs to the floors of the Police Station.

Voluntarily they have adopted uniforms, and it is believed that in this section they have set a precedent for public schools in Canada. When the Kitsilano girls re- turned to school September 1--- tiiere arz several hundreds of them--they were atired in neat blue uniforms of distinctive yet practical design. Navy blue serge, tailored into jumper dress with low cut front over white blouse, or smart skirt, worn with white blouse, is the chosen fashion. . With both these cestumes, ties in school colors will be worn, as will blue blazers with school crest Low-heeled | #lioes and dark-blue hats, with | poseibly blue reefer coats for win- | ter, will be the only neccessary wardrobe for these girls, No jewelry or ornaments of any kind will be worn. No frills or foibles, these agreed with them by an over- whelming majority. The matter, properly presented to parents, put to a vote and whole- heartedly endorsed. Miss Jessie Casselma®, vocational guidance states that the uniform but has been chosen by the students themselves as a means of creating a greater spirit of harmony among pupils. No more vieing with one another in 'matter of new dresses, new torhles that may come up, or height of heels or amount of jewelry. All this is dispensed with under the new plan and the zirl whose parents are stretching every penny to keep her at school cannot be distinguished from the girl whose father has unlimited income. The uniform is not necessarily purchased ready-made. The Home liconomics department has aided several students in blocking out their own patterns, and mothers have been sewing on these during the summer. One Japanese girl ha« tailored her own costume, and it is stated that her uniform compares favorably with those purchased. About 140 girls ob- tained their uniforms before the end of last term. School authorities look with fa- vor on the new plan jor dress, OPTIMISTIC VIEW HELD BY BARNJUM Montreal "Business Man * Predicts Rapid Return To Prosperity Victora, B.C.--*When the pub- lic were madly optimistic and were buying stocks and every- thing else regardless of their val- ue I was a pessimist," said Frank D, Barnjum, of Montreal, who is a business visitor here, "To-day when the great majority are pes- simists, I am an optimist for the simple reason that the public have now been brought back to earth and have learned an impor- tant lesson," he continued. "The main trouble with the world to-day is psychological, in other words the people have lost their heads and have gone just as crazy pessimistically as they were crazy optmistically at the heght of the late boom. There is just as much money in the country now as there was then, there are just as many people to be clothed and fed and all it needs to start the wheels of industry moving is a return of confidence, or I might say a return to simple sanity. Needs of Empire "Good times have always suc- ceeded bad and the farther things fall the greater the rebound will be. The main trouble with the British Empire to-day, which is merely of temporary duration, is that it has been governed for the past few years by a body of inex- perienced men, at a time when the best and biggest brains of the Empire were needed at the helm. This is, however, a situation that will bg righted as soon as the Britishers have an opportunity of electing a government competent to manage the 'affairs of the world's greatest Empire and. with a government in whom the people can have confidence, the troubles of the past will soon be forgotten and the glaring mis- takes of the late Government very soon rectified, "The only subject over which 1 am pessimistic is the world's wood supply which is totally inadequate for the future demands that will be put upon it the moment busi- ness assumes normal propovtions, which will be very soon, and even this is something that can be quite materially helped even at this late date by sane regulation and control in cutting on the part of our Government." ~ TWENTY-FIVE STUDENTS FOR CLASS Board of Education Decides on Minimum of 25 Reg- istered Students With 23 Paid in Advance Before Courses Allowed STEP IS TAKEN TO PROMOTE INTEREST Proposals Purchase to Equipment For Course of Instruction in Radio Referred Back to Com- mittee For Further Con- sideration The board of education, at its meeting last night, accepted the report of the Advisory Vocation- al Committee, outlining the courses to be advertised for the coming season of night classen, and fixing a minimum of 25 regi- strations, with 23 of these having feeg paid in advance, as being necessary before any subject is definitely placed on the ecurricu- lum of the night vocational class- es. This provision was inserted, @ Chairman Annis, of the com- miltee, as an economy factor, so that only those classes in which there was sufficient interest to produce a registration of 25 would be conducted, There was considerable digcus- gion as to the purchase of equip- rient for the establishment of a course in radio mechanics, but this question was referred back to the committee for further con- sideration, since a sub-committee' appointed to deal with it was not ready to make a final and ap- proved report. Trustee Annis rzoved a resolution that the com- mittee be given power to pur- chase equipment up to the value of $2,000, providing consent and «auction of the department of cuucation could be secured, but an amendment referring the mat- ter back to theccommittee carried offer the ajority of the members hod counselled some delay and further thought on the matter, The other classes which will ba advertised, and which will be considered by the committee pro- viding a sufficient number of stu- dents register, are as follows; Civneral economics, aeronautics, blue print reading, bookkeeping, commercial art, commercial French, cooking, drafting, dress- making, electricity, English and' arithmetic, English for New Can- e2dians, machine shop, motor me- chanics, nursing, shop mathema- tics, business machines, short- hand, typewriting, carpentry, voodworking and night matricue * lation classes.
