High School Enrolment Mushrooms On Island

To meet increased enrolment, two new high schools are under construction, four high schools are arising classrooms, and an addition to the Sou.-ris regional high schools are adding class- rooms and an addition to the Souris regional high 001100! is being contemplated.

Hon. George Dewar, MD, min- ister -of education, said Tuesday “eniolment in high schools in the province is mushrooming. For example, Montague High School a few years ago had 150 students; the first year that a regional high school operated in that area, it had an enrol- ment close to 300; last year it was over 500, and it is expected to be 700 this year."

Dr. Dewar said that new high schools are being constructed in Summerside and Morell, and re-

0'Leary, Kensington and Mon- iaguc are being expanded.

The minister said that when his department began its pro- gram of regional high school construction, “it was expected that there would be large in- creases in enrolment as the new schools have a greater retain- invg effect on students. There are fewer drop-outs as more students want " ougli high school.

“When many of the schools were constructed, provision was made for the later expansion which is occurring today."

Dr. Dewar said the trend to increased enrolment will con- tinue “but there are limits to lf—»8llC‘Il as populatimi, birth rate. ability of students to ab- sorb teaching and a drain to

Differ

On Pofafo Blight

BY NEIL A. MATHESON Provincial and Farm Editor Reports on late blight infec-

tion in potato fields varied yes- terday from the feeling that "it is pretty general," from J. I. Gordon Ross of the seed po-

tato certification branch, plant 0

protection division here, to a slightly more optimistic esti- mate from the fruit and vege- table inspectors who look after the table potato crop.

Their estimate was that the blight is in every district, but is not so bad as had been feared at first.

Reports from individual grow- ers in various parts of the pro- vince ranged from a few who reported most of their tops have been killed, and there is some tuber rot, to those like William MacLennan of Albany, who said a few days ago that regular and frequent spraying — he was us- ins then -- has kept his 25 acres clear of infection.

EINGES ON WEATHER Killing of tops by blight stops growth and cuts down produc- tion, but even more serious da- mage is done if the spores are washed down on to the tubers in the soil and the potatoes rot. A lot will depend on the weather during the remainder of the

season.

There have been some reports already of tuber rot, particular- ly among the Cobblers, although there have also been some re- ports of tuber rot in other varie- ties like the Kennebec. fo r example.

Normally, ‘Sebago tube

rs are highly resistant to tuber rot. al-

recailed today, there were in- stances of tuber rot in,the nor- mally hardy sebago variety. The battle against the blight was made more fficult this

year by the continuously heavy -

rains, which made it difficult to get protective sprays on the plants, and even more difficult. Inn! to
