British Industrial Training

The problem of the quick training of skilled workers for the purpose of manning new fac- tories is receiving close attention in Britain. Ex- perience of the .\lother Country indicates that in a vcry short time both male and female work- ers canihe ll'.'1lll(‘(l to reasonable competence in industrial procf scs with which they had not the sliglilc-st llfcudrttlS familiarity. In this con- ncction the National Institute of Industrial Psychology has recently published a pamphlet on training imlustrial workers, which outlines in 51mph‘ and practical terms suggestions about the most cffrctivc lllPlllfKlS, It emphasizes the importmwc of disczirdiitg ancient notions about the time rrqnirctl for training workers, and cites instances to drnvnistratc the possibly of re- ducing thc lrniiiing pcriorl from wccks to days without c:u1~i11g :111y impnirinctit of the quality 0f the work.

The pnmphl-t points out that any effective training should ln- dividcrl into two parts: first, the acquisition nl kttowlcdgc about the job to be tackled. its prorcsws. its materials and the technical trrnu i11 use. 11nd, sccmtdly, technical training i11 thr 11111vvn1c11ts actually made.

gdure which would aim at sccuritig the maxi-industry

mum economy of effort; and the claim is made that, when the worker learns to perform this na- turally and easily, speed will automatically fol- low.

As an example of the success of such methods of industrial training, the pamphlet citcs the case of a department of a big munitions firm which. owing to t11e difficulty of obtaining ex- perienced soldercrs, could produce pcr week only 1,000 good shcll cases after several thousand re- jections. But wlicn a systematic plan of traili- ing had been inaugurated on the lines proposed by the Industrial Itistitttte of Psychology, re- jection quickly diminished a11d within a few months the output of good shell cases was 20,- 000 per weclt, the notable improvement being al- most wholly crcditcd to tl1e training plan.

Finance Minister Ilsley states there is nothing in the import restrictions he tuoved in tl1e House of Commons to prevcnt the continued importa- tion of parts for Uuitcfl States-made auto- mobiles which arc ztlrcady in Canada.

>1- a x u Twenty thousand employees in the Lockheed and Vega plants at Burbank, California, arc tilzmning to build a bomber airplane worth from $80,000 to $100,000 and present it to the Royal Air Force as a Christmas gift. The materials and parts are to be provided and plant facilities donated by the company whose officials receiv- ed the proposal “enthusiastically”. The employees have two recreation organizations and it is through these that the project has developed, the attitude of the men being that since Britain is responsible for the employment of so many of them “a. Christmas gift would be a fine thing."

v v n- v Canadian production should be able to furn- ish all the household gadgets designed to make housekeeping simpler under the new import re- strictions, but there will be a scarcity of such im- ported trimmings as fancy paper napkins, bridge scores, silverware, glassware and ornaments. Clothing and cloth fabrics of all kinds no longer will be imported from other than sterling coun- tries and the same is true of jewellery and preci- ous stones for personal adornment. And when the housewife ends her work and is able to curl up with a magazine and a box of chocolates, the latter will have to be Canadian or British made, and the magazine of a. nature which the revenue minister believes is worth the expenditure of foreign exchange.

a o o It docs not affect us, of course, but members of Parliament or provincial Legislatures who are on active service in Canada in the Canadian army may have leave without pay or allowances to attend their legislative duties. Major Power told the House of Commons this leave is under an order issued to district commanding officers January 23, I940. No such regulation exists for the Royal Canadian Air Force, but there is a provision that thcy may receive from two t0 four days to attend their parliamentary duties when necessary. No provision has been made for those in the tiavv, but none of its personnel are members of Parlinmcnt or Legislatures.

LARGER UNITS 0F SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION

Slr:— Before going on to a de- tailed consideration of the inequali- tles and disadvantages of our pneu- ent system of school administration. and the remedies for them, 1t. ts necary to outline briefly the or- lgln and development of the small district. system.

When our forefathers first settled 1n this Province they brought; with them til-re conviction that. education

‘These pioneer people settled in small groups along the fertile river banks. They soon bullt. a school to look aft-er the educational needs o! their children. As these communities were separated from one another ll; can readily be seen that; their school llfe was bounded by the slze of. the community in which they lived. When new settlers came and took up homes beyond the boundaries of the organized districts, they found distances to the earlier schools boo great, and, as a consequence, or- ganized new districts. The result. was a system of local districts in which those first formed were usual- ly the largest and cmtalned the best. land. Districts formed lsber were very often made up from areas left over from earlier organizations and comprised land of relatively lower value. Now, as we look over the situation. as it developed, we find large districts comprising good land with low rates of taxation and at the same time small districts comprising poor land with high rams of taxation. In both cases the dls- tricts are expected to pay the same supplements for the same class of teachers; to equip, furnish and look after general upkeep of schools 1n both dlsbrlcts whether 1t. be a good district with a low rabe, or a poor district with a high rate. We find one room schools with from forty to seventy-two pupils and many schools with less than ten pupils. In a great. many cases, we flnd teachers in charge of the most. dif- flcult. schools. while experienced teachers may be found 1n charge of

ly larger salary than neighboring teachers of experience and capabil-

three teachers. A teacher who does not flt ln a particular school ls dlscharged and another appoint- ment. made. wlth no assurance that‘. the new tmcher will flt. the situation any better. Our system of hiring teachers at. present. seems to be one of trial and error. There ls no assurance that. a teacher will receive oredlt. for experience, capa- bility or special qualifications. Them ls no salary schedule, and no secur- lty of tenure.

The effects of these conditions from the standpoint of the educa- tlonal welfare of our children are all too apparent. ‘Iliese conditions Instead of being relieved are be- coming more and more aggravated as time goes on, and some solution will have to be found lf we wish to give our children the advantages of a worth-while education.

When we look around us and see the fine system of railroads. paved roads. telephone lines and electric light. llnes so common 1n our Pro- vlnoe today. we ask ourselves could these have been bullt and maintain- ed ff each small community were to have its. own local system of each. Could we not. then, wlt-h larg- er school units work out a. more complete educational system, offer- lng greater opportunities to our boys and Elrls?

We llve fn an age when distance is of little consequence so the nee/as- stly for the small school district sys- tem no longer exists. Every interest. of modern farm 11k centres in a wider community than the local school dlstrlct. Education, too. must. follow this trend or find itself left far behind less important aspects of community llfe 1'11 the competi-

tional pride than to sense that in this moment pf Canadian danger we can be useful." By implication he frhus placed his finger on one of the weak spots in th» relationship between Quebec and the rest of Canada We, of the other provinces have been foo prone to question the loyalty of Quebec. too catitlous ln msumlng that the are behind this war Just, as whole enrtedly as any part of Canada. too grudglng 1n ex- tending be them a greater oppor- tunity to serve, and too nlggardly in oun- eicpresslon of appreciation ln the contribution they are making or are prepared to make. - Regina Leader-Post.
