Interesting Review of the Development of Technical Education The idea of technical education orâ€" iginated in Sectland, the speaker said, Dr. Birkbech at the Andersonian Inâ€" stiute of Glasgow starting with some tinsmiths whom he had engaged to make some apparatus for him. Workâ€" ingmen‘s Colleges and Mechanic‘s Inâ€" stitu‘es developed and the idea spread with growing success. Mr. Walli reâ€" ferred ito several individual and govâ€" ernmerital plans on this line. He proâ€" Miss Jean Baker, Nurseâ€"inâ€"Training at Toronto General Hospital, arrived cn Saturday to spend a few weeks at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Baker, Spruce St. North. The guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club on Monday was Mr. O. E. Walli, principal of ‘the Technical Division of the Timmins High and Vocational Scool. ~He outlined the historical deâ€" velopment and presenit importance of technical educaition, with special referâ€" ence‘ to Timmins In opening, he pointed outt thait under a broad definiâ€" tftion, practically all school work might be included as vocational or itechnical education, but that the popular interâ€" pretation classed it as concerned chiefly with shop subjects ar perhaps engineerâ€" ing train‘ng. Briefly the technical schools are concerned with those branâ€" ches of study which mighit be of service éeeded to trace ‘the development of technical education in the United States and Canada. Massachussetits 0. E. Walli Sketches the Story of Vocational Education With Special Reference to Timmins. Value of Vocaâ€" tional Education Now Being Appreciated. in the trades.

In 1881 there was a trade school establishâ€" ed in New York. In 1917 there was Federal legislation for aid ‘to technical or vocaitional *training. By 1932, there wlere 15,000 Itrade or vocational schocols, with nearly 30,000 teachers in the Unâ€" ited States, At the time of Confederation, Hon. John Carling, Commissioner for Agriâ€" culture in Canada, stressed the need for practical education in agricultural and mechanical lines. In 1871 Dr. Ryâ€" erson in Ontario pointed to ithe value of technical education. The idea deâ€" veloped slowly in Ontario, however, chiefly because of the fear about the high costs involved. In 1900 Toronito, Ottawa and Brockville added manual training and domestic science, through the philanitrophy of Sir William Macâ€" donald. Then various centres started to establish itechnical schools or departâ€" ments. Mr. Walll quoted staitistics to show the growith of itechnical education "The technical course," said Mr. Walli "is solid and educating. It has real cultural vaue. It gives scope ‘to boys who like tools and machines. I believe there is cultural value in a fine plece of machine work or craftmanship comâ€" parable to that in a fine piece of mus‘c, a painting, a prose study or a poeim." This makes a grand total of 13,973 articles from the Timmins Branch of the Red Cross Society. Touching on the Timmins organizaâ€" tion, he pointed out that it offered an industrial or technical coturse to boys. It is a threeâ€"year course with considerâ€" able trade itraining and real cultural value. He poin‘ted out that care should be itaken to keep away from an idea current in some places, to send the cleâ€" ver ones ito the High School and the others to Ithe Technical. Instead, the choices should be made for other pracâ€" tical reasons â€" aptitude, financial In the first year, Mr. Walli said, Technical School students have the same course as the High School, with the difference that the Tech. boys get more Shop instead of French. In ‘the second year the Shop is increased to thirtyâ€"three per cent. and 2% hours per week of mineralogyâ€"geology is addâ€" ed for the reason of #ts special appliâ€" cation in this community. In the third year the cultural subjects are continâ€" ued, with Shop time about fifity per cent., and the hours for the mining subjects continued. Mr. Walli was introduced by Kiwanâ€" ian W. O. Langdon and thanked, on behalf of the club, by Kiwanian Geo. in Ontario. In 1910, Ontarioe had 1 day and 8 evening itechnical schools, with 4,000 pupils.
