Vocational School Principal

of

Following are excerpts from the address delivered yesterday by Mr. K.A. Parker, Superintendent of City Schools, at the closing ex- ercises of the Vocational School:

"The Vocational School from which you have graduated in one of the most important educational agencies in our province. From it you have received skills which, I trust, will serve you well as you go into your.'chosen vocation. And I also trust that you will see fit to make your native province your permanent home in the future. Far too many of our Island youth are looking across the strait to what, on the surface. seems greener pas- tures and brighter lights. With a province so abundantly supplied with natural resources of land and sea. there are opportunities un- limited right here at home for those with brains and brawn.

"The greatest illusion of the pres- ent age in our Western world is that of a good and rewarding life which will arise out of a 80-hour working week. A pertinent ques- tion is whether man is trained and educated to use in ii constructive and wholesome r the hours left in the week for so-called free time.

”0ncea society loses sight of the dignity of labor and the satis- faction of honest toll, the process of disintegration sets in - at least every civilization has followed that path to date. Let us always keep in mind that it is the farmer, the fisherman, the skilled tradesman

Activities

closing of which took place yes-. terday afternoon.

The following is the text of Mr. MacPhail's report: "It is a pleasant duty for me to present. at this eleventh an- nual closing of the Provincial Vocational School. a brief rt-port of what has been accoinplislied in our training programme dur- lag the school year 1955-56. "Most of us are acquainted with the history of our school which was established in the year 1945 as zi joint project of the Domin- ion Department of Labour and the Provincial Government. This school is operated under two special agreements between the Government of Canada nnd the Government of Prince Edward Island."

”During the first two years of its operation the student body consisted entirely of veterans; in I947 civilian students were ad- mitted for the first time. The school now provides training for those whose desires and aptitndes are not in the field of academi

education.

COURSES INCREASED

"Since that time the number of courses has been increased to twenty, new facilities have been added and the staff greatly aug- mented. This year a new even- ing course in Leathercraft was added. so the school has expand- ed continuously over the past eleven years with a grand total enrollment in all courses, this year. reaching an all time high of 631 students.

"The courses offered by the school may be divided into two groups, day courses and night courses. The day trades courses for this year began on September 7, 1955 and continued until May 23. 1956. a period of almost nine months.

Totals "Altogether there were as stu- dents enrolled this year ln the day trade courses. 7495 of whom were from rural districts and the re- l ' 2696 from urban areas. NIGHT COURSES "Night trade courses are in- tended for those who wish to gain a knowledge of a trade and for those actually engaged in a particular trade. Our night class- es began on October 3, 1955, and continued till April 27, 1956, period of almost seven months. During the. fall and winter months the school was in full operation five nights each week. "The public again responded magnificently to night courses and most of the classes were filled

these classes. On April 23 and 24 two informal closings were held for the night students.

SHORT COURSES

During the winter months two short courses were held -- A six- week course in Homemaking in which it young women were enrol- led: and a three-week course in Egg Grading in which 3 young women and 21 young men were en- rolled. Member.-. of the Federal Department of Agriculture acted as instructors for the Egg Gradlnk course which was conducted at Birch Court, Experimental Farm.

"The Home Economics Depart- ment. under the direction of Miss Anderson. had another very active year. A total of 253 students were enrolled in the various day and evening classes of this Dqpart- meni.

"The purpose of this course is to help young women perform their present duties In the home more efficiently to provide a back- ground tor those who anticipate earning a living in the fields re- lated to Home Economics, and to prepare them as future homemak- ers.

ACADEMIC TRAINING

"In addition to courses already referred to, all male students In the day trades classes are required to take a general academic course. In this course instruction is given in English, Science, Gen eral Knowledge and Mathematics to dovetail into the work taught in the various trade courses. "During the school year 1955-56 only one change took place in the school staff. Mrs. Dave MacLean who had been Registrar for the past five years resigned November I. 1955. During the time that she held this position, Mrs. MacLean rendered outstanding service. In November, 1955. Mr. P. 0. Cam- eron was appointed Registrar and Mrs. Gloria Kirk was employed as clerk - stenographer and is doing very satisfactory work.

"Here are ten of the highlights of the year's activities:

"Handrail made and placed on the front steps by the welding clan "Twenty tables made by the car- pentry class and placed in the Academic classroom.

"A sink installed in the Academic classroom by the plumbing class. "The unveiling of the plaque in memory of the late Hon. J. Walter Jones.

FOUR FREEDOMS

"For you young citizens of our Island of tomorrow, I would sug- gest four freedoms which should be accepted as goals or ends for individual growth and develop- ment; namely, freedom from ig- norance. freedom from selfishness, freedom from prejudice. Ind freer dom from unbellef. - "Surely no argument is needed to support the statement that the nation must provide sufficient fa- cilities to allow its citizens free- dom from ignorance. Yet, In this Canada of ours, a colossal price has been paid for just that failure. If this great country is to make its greatest contribution to the world, of which we form such an integral part, the citizens of tomorrow must have far greater equalization of educational opportunities than we have had heretofore.

Knowledge of himself, his heredity, his im. mediate environment, knowledge of his nation and of his world. are necessary to all.
