The Mission assembled in Paris early in December for briefing and arrived in Burma on December 17th. It was our duty to survey the educational system and to make a report to the Union of Burma and to U.N.E.S.C.O. with recommendations which could be implemented in the foreseeable future. The task was an education in itself and I feel that it was an experience of benefit to myself and ultimately to the school system of this Province. I desire to express my gratitude to the members of the staff who so ably carried on in my absence and particularly to Mr. H. L. Campbell, who undertook to perform my duties as well as his own during my absence. I desire also to express my thanks to the Honourable the Minister of Education for making it possible for me to accept this honour. It is with satisfaction that I have to report that the progress which we have made over a number of years in improving the educational facilities for our own people continued throughout the year under review. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. T. Fairey, Superintendent of Education. EDUCATIONAL DIRECTION AND SUPERVISION K 27 EDUCATIONAL DIRECTION AND SUPERVISION REPORT OF H. L. CAMPBELL, B.A., M.Ed., DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION In general it may be said that the fine progress being achieved in this Province in providing adequate school accommodation in a physical sense is being paralleled by an expanding curriculum, designed to meet the needs of all children. The secondary school of to-day is no longer a selective institution for the education of the few. It is a school for every man's child, and must attempt to meet the need for that pupil guidance and development which will result in happy and effective citizenship for all students. Curriculum Adjustment For some years the Central Curriculum Committee has been engaged in planning for a curriculum adjustment on the secondary-school level. This adjustment came into effect for Grades VII to X during the year under review in this report, and its major purposes are as follows:— (1) To make possible in the secondary-school curriculum a greatly increased offering of elective courses designed to meet student and community needs. (2) To increase the number of elective courses which may be studied by those desiring High School Graduation (University Programme). (3) To give to such fields of study as Art, Music, Drama, Home Economics, Agriculture, Commerce, and Industrial Arts equal status with other subjects in respect of High School Graduation (University Programme). (4) To permit students of high ability to take advanced courses in fields of special interest and aptitude and to become highly qualified in those fields. (5) To encourage in all students in secondary schools the development and pursuit of strong intellectual and vocational interests. Major Features of the Adjustment Two Secondary-school Programmes.—In spite of the existing official titles, High School Graduation without University Entrance and High School Graduation with University Entrance, teachers and others have continued to think of High School Graduation as being one programme which students may follow and University Entrance as being another, a different and a superior programme. In the future, as in the past, two programmes will be offered in most high schools. They will carry the official titles of (a) High School Graduation (General Programme), and (b) High School Graduation (University Programme). Principals and teachers should studiously avoid giving the impression that the General Programme is inferior to the University Programme. The two programmes meet different needs. Increase in Credits for Graduation.—Subjects studied in Grades VII and VIII do not carry recorded credits. The secondary-school credit system begins in Grade IX, as does the course numbering system which yields those credits. There is an increase from the existing minimum of 112 credits to a minimum of 120 credits for High School Graduation in both the General Programme and the University Programme. Course-load for Students.—The student must normally carry a course-load of 30 credits per academic year, and may carry up to 35 credits per year if he is capable of doing so on a satisfactory level of performance. High performance in a limited number of courses is to be preferred to mediocre performance in a maximum number of courses. K 28 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 The satisfactory completion of more than 30 credits in any one year does not relieve the student of the necessity for carrying toward High School Graduation a minimum of 30 credits in each of the other years. Course Numbering System.—In Grade VII, courses will be referred to as English 7, Mathematics 7, Social Studies 7, and recorded as En 7, Ma 7, and SS 7. The same principle will apply in Grade VIII, as Science 8 (Sc 8), Effective Living 8 (EL 8), Home Economics 8 (HE 8). In Grades IX to XII, subjects are numbered in decades. First courses in a subject are numbered in the 10's (unless prescribed for, and first offered in an advanced grade), second courses in the 20's, third courses in the 30's, and fourth courses in the 40's, as English 10 for Grade IX, English 20 for Grade X, English 30 for Grade XI, English 40 for Grade XII. If some of the courses provided in a subject are advanced elective courses, they are numbered 91 or above, as follows:— (a) Latin 10, Latin 20, Latin 91, Latin 92. (b) Mathematics 10, Mathematics 20, Mathematics 30, Mathematics 91. (c) Science 10, Science 20, Physics 91, Chemistry 91, Biology 91. Courses in Grade XIII (Senior Matriculation) are numbered in the 100's, except German 90, Spanish 90, Latin 90, and Greek 90, which are University Beginners' Courses and normally may not be offered in Grade XII. Institution of MAJOR Subjects.—In order to ensure that students in high schools have the opportunity to study intensively one or more fields of academic or vocational interest, the system of major subjects has been introduced. A major subject is defined as a subject of the student's choice in which he has chosen to study the prescribed advanced elective course or courses, numbered "91 " or above, with their prerequisite courses. For example, the following sequences of courses would constitute a major in the subject indicated: Mathematics 10, 20, '30, 91; Latin 10, 20, 91, 92; English 10, 20, 30, 40, 91. For the time being curricular development does not justify the offering of majors in all subjects. Most majors require the successful completion of some advanced elective courses. Majors are offered only in the following subjects: English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, French, German, Latin, Spanish, Commerce or Vocational Commerce, Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Agriculture or Vocational Agriculture, Vocational Industrial. For High School Graduation (General Programme).—In order to graduate from high school in the General Programme, students who complete Grade XII in June, 1953, and succeeding years, must present 55 credits in prescribed constants, and a minimum of 65 credits in electives. These constants and/or electives must include one major subject of the student's choice. Subjects Course Numbers Academic Years Credits Constants— English. Social Studies Effective Living.

These constants and/or electives must include three major subjects of the student's choice.

K 30 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Alternative Courses Alternative courses geared to the abilities and interests of the many groups who enter secondary schools are in process of preparation. Through these effective provision for individual differences may be made. For example, English 20 is a course designed for the better-than-average Grade X student in English, while English 21 will be taken by the student of lesser ability in English who has need of a course which will take him forward from the existing stage of his development in English. New Curriculum Bulletins In order to implement the curriculum adjustments indicated above, the following new curriculum bulletins were issued during the year:— Social Studies, 1950: Including Courses 7, 8, 10, 31, Economics 92, and Law 93. Effective Living, 1950: Including Courses 7, 8, 10, 20, 30. Mathematics, 1950: Including Courses 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 30, 91, 101. Sciences, 1950: Including Courses 7, 8.

Principals' Conferences It is coming to be recognized to a much greater degree than formerly that the principal of the school is responsible in large measure for the nature of the educational enterprise carried out in his school and the service which it renders to the child and to the community. For the second time in three years, principals of schools have attended a two-week conference held in July under the auspices of the Provincial Summer School of Education. PROVINCIAL NORMAL SCHOOLS K 31 PROVINCIAL NORMAL SCHOOLS Provincial Normal School, Vancouver REPORT OF T. R. HALL, B.A., PRINCIPAL The fiftieth session of the Provincial Normal School, Vancouver, began on September 11th, 1950, and ended on June 15th, 1951. Enrolment and results are indicated in the table below:— Men Women Total 124 110 257 239 381 349 The number of women enrolled was three below that for last year, and the number of men thirteen greater. This meant a net increase of ten over the total for the preceding session, which itself constituted a record since a full year of training became compulsory. The general facilities of the school building remained inadequate, although improvements made during the preceding vacation resulted in a measure of relief. The following students graduated with distinction standing: Esme Greenwood, Margarey Jean Hall, Loverna May Linney, Howard Robert Meredith, Harry Nicholas MacKenzie, Mary Joan Reid, Bill Vellutini, Doreen Lawrie White, Gordon Eugene Whitney, and Louise Wotherspoon. Although no attempt is here made to interpret it, there seems to be some significance in the fact that the minimum academic qualification of the distinction graduates was senior matriculation or the equivalent, and that five were university graduates. The student-body presented the usual marked diversity in academic qualifications. Twenty-six persons held university degrees. At the other end of the scale, seventy-two had only university entrance standing. Between the two extremes were 27 with second- or third-year university standing, 34 with first-year standing, 101 with senior matriculation, and 121 with partial senior matriculation. Comparison with the past few years indicates that there is no definite trend upward or downward in the educational background of students entering the school. No normal school can give a preparation for teaching superior to the facilities available for observation and practice. This school has often expressed its gratitude for the willing generosity of the Vancouver School Board, Superintendent McCorkindale and the officials associated with him, and the teaching staff of the Vancouver system. During the year we asked for more than ever before and were offered much in excess of what we asked. We were also under obligation to Inspector R. S. Shields, of New Westminster; Inspector C. G. Brown, of Burnaby; and Inspector William Gray, of North Vancouver, for similar co-operation. Various School Boards and Inspectors throughout the Province were good enough to make it possible for a considerable number of our students to spend their spring practicum in rural schools. Staff and students were alike grateful for favours granted. It goes without saying that during the year we missed the presence of the former principal, Dr. A. R. Lord, and Miss Grace Bollert. Dr. Lord's contribution in the general field of teacher-training and Miss Bollert's marked influence on primary education in the Province are so well knjown that comment regarding them is unnecessary. The reorganization consequent on their leaving us saw the appointment of Miss K 32 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Jean Kilgour and Mr. John McGechaen. Both have served most acceptably during the year. As for several years past, our health services were under the auspices of the Metropolitan Health Committee. We were indebted to the personnel of this organization for complete co-operation and service of the highest order. In a day when it is the fashion in certain quarters to deplore the deficiencies of youth, it is a pleasure to be able to say that the staff of the Vancouver Normal School has been impressed by the initiative, the sense of responsibility, and the democratic spirit manifested by the great majority of this year's students. The prospective teachers of to-day do not suffer by comparison with those of yesterday. Provincial Normal School, Victoria REPORT OF H. O. ENGLISH, B.A., B.S.A., PRINCIPAL The thirty-seventh session of the Provincial Normal School, Victoria, opened on September 11th, 1950, and closed on June 15th, 1951. The following table presents a summary of the enrolment:— Men Women Total 66 8 3 2 149 11 1 2 215 Withdrew from course - — Incomplete.- - 19 4 4 Totals - — 79 163 242 Twelve students—Kathaleen Lily Angus, Victoria; Lenore Anne Brunner, Crani- brook; Owen Sutherland Forsyth, Victoria; Marion Claire Hill, Oliver; Catherine Jean Kerr, Victoria; Sebastian Nutini, Trail; Audrey Olive Palmer, Victoria; Jessie Weir Ramsay, Trail; Joan Marie Ranger, Nanaimo; Lorna Jane Skelton<, Salmon Arm; Norma Vivian Trimble, Victoria; and Frances Ann Waite, Trail—received honour standing. Murray Fraser Mackintosh, B.A., won the Dr. V. L. Denton Memorial Award for 1950-51. During the 1950-51 session the number of students registered was the largest since 1925. The number of men in attendance was the largest ever to register at this Normal School. One new instructor, Miss Kathleen Marjorie Baker, joined the faculty on October 1st, 1950, assuming responsibility for the work in " Speech and Drama " and assisting in the English Department. The special series of lectures on health topics, which has been a feature of the school programme for several years, was arranged by Dr. J. L. Gayton. A list of those who participated and the topics discussed follows: Dr. A. N. Beattie, " School Medical, Housing, and Sanitation Services "; Dr. J. L. Gayton, " Communicable Diseases, Immunization, and Tuberculosis "; Dr. A. B. Sinclair, " Venereal Diseases "; Mrs. K. Beard, " Provincial Health Services and Health Material Services." Dr. J. L. Gayton examin'ed all the students as early as possible in the school-year. During the year there were many re-examinations and consultations. Wherever indi- PROVINCIAL NORMAL SCHOOLS K 33 cated the student was referred to a private practitioner for appropriate treatment. Tests and immunizations included Schick test (for diphtheria); diphtheria toxoid; smallpox vaccination; typhoid, paratyphoid A and B tetanus; and X-ray examination. Mrs. J. A. Walker, P.H.N., Saanich Health Centre, rendered valuable assistance in connection with the health services offered. The St. John Ambulance Association issued certificates to eighty-one students who were successful in the course in First Aid. Miss Marie Crickmay, speech therapist, again gave two interesting and instructive lectures on " Speech Defects and Their Correction." The large student enrolment, coupled with the lack of a demonstration school adjacent to the Normal School, forced the adoption of a new policy with respect to demonstration lessons. During September Miss W. A. Copeland, primary specialist, provided two demonstration sessions with primary classes, using the school auditorium. For the balance of the year, particularly during the months of October, November, January, and February, teachers in schools of the Greater Victoria School District and the surrounding area provided the demonstration lessons. Students in groups of four, or in pairs, were assigned to classrooms for one-half day each week. During the year every student had an opportunity to observe the work of at least twelve experienced teachers. Subsequently, when assigned to classrooms either in pairs or alone, each student participated in the instruction of pupils for a period totalling two months. Demonstration lessons were provided by 509 teachers in 147 schools. During the periods devoted to teaching-practice, we used 379 classrooms in 147 schools on Vancouver Island and other parts of this Province. To all those School Inspectors, principals, and teachers who have co-operated with this Normal School during the past difficult year, and have provided the necessary facilities for observation and teaching practice, we extend our sincere thanks. K 34 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 SUMMER SCHOOL OF EDUCATION REPORT OF HAROLD P. JOHNS, M.A., Ph.D., DIRECTOR The 1951 session of the Summer School of Education, held in Victoria and Vancouver from July 3rd to August 3rd, was attended by 1,465 teachers. Largely due to the co-operation of the faculty and students, problems that might well have been expected to arise because of the numbers involved were noteworthy because of their absence. Enrolment in the Victoria Section of the school again showed an increase, but this was in part offset by a decrease in registration at the two sections of the school operated in Vancouver. As I am retiring as Director of the Summer School at the end of the present session, perhaps a brief resume of some of the developments during the five years that I have had the privilege of administering the school will be permitted. Summer School enrolment rose from 888, in the year 1946, to the present 1,465. This, it will be seen, represents an increase of 64.9 per cent. But even more, it is indicative of the unfailing interest and professional virility of the teachers of this Province. This expansion of student numbers at the school has been accompanied by an equally important extension of services offered. During the five-year period it has been possible to add many new courses. In total, seventy-four new courses were developed and thirty-one others were completely revised. Below is a summary of the major training projects initiated from 1946 to 1951: (1) Conferences of principals, dealing with problems of administration, curriculum offerings, pupil personnel, etc., were held on two occasions, at the sessions of 1949 and 1951. (2) In co-operation with the Curriculum Division, special workshops were organized to develop curricula for British Columbia schools. The introductory effort of this type occurred in 1948, when a group of experienced secondary-school teachers worked on a development of the Effective Living Programme. In the years 1950 and 1951 similar "curriculum workships " were held in the fields of Home Economics and Art education. (3) The workshop technique was introduced during this period and was used widely in a number of fields. In particular, classes of this type were initiated in the case of what has been described as the " X " courses. For some time an increasing interest had been expressed by teachers who had completed specialized training in certain fields of education for refresher courses of the workshop type. The first experiment of this kind was made in 1949, when a two-week day-long workshop for certificated and experienced counsellors was held. This programme was repeated in 1950. In 1951 refresher workshops were held for Home Economics, primary, and counselling specialists. (4) Classes in audio-visual education were organized. Perhaps in some ways more significant is the extent to which lecturers were encouraged to use this technique in their own classes. As a result, the use of visual aids for instructional purposes has become an accepted practice throughout the school. For example, a total of 300 films was screened during the 1951 session. (5) Of particular interest was the attention given to the education of exceptional children. Special courses were developed for the general classroom teacher. Two more highly specialized programmes were also con- SUMMER SCHOOL OF EDUCATION K 35 ducted. In 1949 and 1950 a branch of the Summer School was opened at the Provincial School for the Deaf and the Blind, at which experts conducted demonstration and lecture classes for teachers of deaf children. In 1950 through the co-operation of the Department of National Health and Welfare and the Provincial Secretary's Department, specialized training for teachers of subnormal children was given in Victoria. (6) Prior to 1948, Summer School training was not available for Art teachers beyond the junior high-school level. In-service courses were organized from 1948 to 1951, dealing with Art instruction in Grades X, XI, and XII. Somewhat paralleling this development were the Arts and Crafts Courses which outlined a modified programme for general classroom teachers in small high schools not large enough to employ an Industrial Arts instructor. (7) A full counsellor-training programme was initiated in 1948, and offered each year thereafter. The increasing enrolment in these courses and the professional calibre of the teacher attracted to them speaks well of the Department's decision to make this training available. (8) During the period under review a Physical Education training programme leading to a B.P.E. degree became available at the University of British Columbia. Because of the obvious advantages to teachers in being able to work toward a degree in the field as well as teacher certification, a plan was worked out by which specialized training of this type was gradually transferred to the University. This transfer was completed in 1951, at which time the Summer School limited its offerings to Physical Education Courses for the general classroom teacher. (9) The supply of teachers in Commercial education has continued to be a serious problem. In the hope of alleviating this shortage, and at the same time attracting an increasing number of well-trained young people to the profession, a programme was organized and will go into operation in September of 1951 by which training will be offered in co-operation with the School of Commerce, University of British Columbia. During my five years as Director of the Summer School, I have had the privilege on each occasion of working with a group of distinguished and at all times most cooperative educators. The excellence of the various faculties, and the fine enthusiasm of the teachers who attended, together made possible whatever success the school has enjoyed. Finally, I should not like to close this section of the Report without acknowledging the kindly, painstaking, and sound advice given so frequently and so unsparingly out of the wealth of their experience by Dr. F. T. Fairey and Mr. H. L. Campbell. My professional debt to them is very great. Courses and Enrolment (Summer Session Only) The enrolment for all courses and the total enrolment are summarized below. Instructors who taught for less than one week are not included in the tables.

(/') Vancouver Vocational Institute. The reports upon Industrial Arts which follow have been prepared by Lieut.-Col. C. J. Strong, M.A., Inspector of Technical Classes. Industrial Arts Elementary Schools and Junior High Schools Industrial Arts has continued in popularity during 1950-51, as indicated by the increased enrolment. The growth has been consistent, as from twenty-five to thirty new teachers have been required each year for the past six years. During the summer of 1951 thirty-one new teachers were required to meet the needs of our expanding programme. Two school districts, Keremeos and Lillooet, have opened new centres and are offering Industrial Arts for the first time. The Vocational and Industrial Arts Teacher-training Unit has graduated some fine young teachers. These men have fitted quickly into the school system, and the quality of their training is reflected in the standard of work obtained from their classes in Industrial Arts. At the conclusion of the present term, two veteran teachers retired on superannuation—namely, Mr. A. H. Marrion, of Victoria, and Mr. T. Chippendale, of Vancouver. To both of these teachers we express the best wishes of their friends for a happy and useful retirement. There are fifty-five school districts in which Industrial Arts is established, as follows: Abbotsford, Agassiz, Alberni, Armstrong, Burnaby, Campbell River, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Courtenay, Cowichan, Cranbrook, Creston, Delta, Fernie, Fraser Canyon, Grand Forks, Kamloops, Kelowna, Keremeos, Kimberley, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan, Langley, Lillooet, Maple Ridge, Mission, Nanaimo, Nelson, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Ocean Falls, Peace River South, Penticton, Powell River, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Princeton, Qualicum, Quesnel, Revelstoke, Richmond, Saanich, Salmon Arm, Saltspring, Smithers, Sooke, Southern Okanagan, Summerland, Surrey, Trail, University Hill, Vancouver, Vernon, Greater Victoria, and West Vancouver. Six additional school districts will be opening new Industrial Arts centres in September, 1951—namely, Ashcroft, Castlegar, Howe Sound, Peace River North, Sechelt, and Williams Lake. In addition to the above, Industrial Arts centres are established INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION K 43 at the Boys' Industrial School, the School for the Deaf and the Blind, New Haven, and the Provincial Mental Hospital at New Westminster. Senior High Schools The number of students taking Industrial Arts in the senior high schools is steadily increasing. Mass education in the secondary schools presents a challenge to all teachers, and it is noted that this challenge is being met by shop teachers by varying their courses to meet individual differences and community needs. Industrial Arts Option for University Entrance It is noted that there is a growing appreciation on the part of school principals for Industrial Arts Courses. Principals of smaller high schools are fully aware of the holding value of the practical courses and are doing all possible to have facilities provided for this work where it does not at present exist. The total number of individual elementary and junior and senior high school shops in the Province (of which fifty- one are general shops) is 236 The total number of individual elementary and junior and senior high school instructors is 204 The total number of pupils participating is— Elementary school 2,941 Junior high school 11,983 Senior high school 4,247 19,171 The Vancouver Technical School The report which follows has been prepared by Mr. E. M. White, B.A.Sc, principal of the Vancouver Technical School:— " In September, 1950, the Grandview High School of Commerce was amalgamated with the Vancouver Technical School. Mr. Thomas Alsbury, vice-principal, and practically all the members of the Grandview High School staff were transferred. This necessitated changes on the upper floor, where the Commerical Department is for the most part confined. The School was originally designed for boys, and there have been certain difficulties of accommodation for such a large influx of girls. " The Commercial Department will' round out' our programme and enable Technical students, who may require a certain number of Commercial subjects, to obtain them. Also, the girls and boys in the Commercial Department will have the opportunity of taking Home Economics and Technical subjects. " Our graduates are in great demand by both business and industry. The greater number of our Grade XII and our special students have been placed. The Grade X and Grade XI students have also fallen prey to the lure of good-paying jobs. " The total number of students attending the Vancouver Technical School during the year 1950-51 was as follows:— Day-SChool Boys Girls Total University Entrance 76 45 121 Commercial 47 415 462 Technical 524 137 661 Specials 80 31 111 ' Totals 727 628 1,355 Night-school— Vocational 744 Non-vocational 74 818 K 44 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 " Mr. George Price, cooking instructor for the past ten years, retired on superannuation. Miss W. Bracher resigned her position to join the Home Economics staff at the University of British Columbia." High School Commercial and Agricultural Courses The placement of Commercial students during the past year has been very good. There have been more office positions available than there have been students trained by the Commercial classes.

A. Amess, assistant to the Director, Mr. Charles H. Scott, A.R.C.A., F.R.S.A.(Lond.), Dip.G.S.A.:— " The student enrolment during the school-year 1950-51 was as follows:— Girls Boys Total Full-time day-school students 61 52 113 Part-time day-school students 35 6 41 Rehabilitation students 5 5 Night-school students 157 110 267 Saturday morning junior classes 114 63 177 Summer extension classes 35 22 57 Totals 402 258 660 " The enrolment of students for the day classes was gratifyingly high in spite of the decrease in Rehabilitation students. " The Wednesday special classes, held for adults wishing part-time training in Drawing and Painting, were very successful. " The Design Workshop class, specializing in the training of the student in three- dimensional design, was commenced this year, with a view to laying a sound basis for future training in Architecture and Industrial Design. "An evening class, 'An Introduction to Industrial Design,' was held during the evening school, under the sponsorship of the British Columbia Industrial Design Committee, and proved a successful and popular study. " In the field of Design, the school has been highly successful. Mr. Chuck Yip, a graduate student, won third prize in an international competition of textile designing. This was the only prize won in Canada. " Mural projects were undertaken by two of the students as part of their school programme. Miss Mary Tait decorated the walls of the Children's Preventorium with gay cowboy scenes, and Miss Shirley Cardwell, sponsored by the Vancouver Park Board, made an excellent back-drop mural for the Children's Zoo at Stanley Park. " Graduates from last year are now successfully employed by leading commercial art firms. "An open-house exhibition held by the staff and students was attended by 1,400 visitors. "An excellent article, ' Our School of Art,' which appeared in the magazine section of The Vancouver Sun on May 26th, spoke highly of the School's contribution to the Province. The article was illustrated by the winners of The Vancouver Sun Magazine Cover Competition. " The Vancouver School of Art Travelling Show, prepared last year, has visited all the high schools in Vancouver and will continue to circulate during the coming year. " The annual closing was held on Friday, May 25th, with Mr. H. N. MacCorkindale, Superintendent of Schools for Vancouver, presiding. Mr. M. M. Frazer, a member of the Canadian Industrial Design Committee, gave an inspiring and instructive address to the students." Night-schools There has been an increase in all night-school classes during the past year. Trade Advisory Committees in Vancouver and Victoria have been very busy preparing trade analyses so that apprentice, vocational, and up-grading night classes can do a more effective training job. The enrolment during the year 1950-51 was as follows:— students Vocational 5,905 Non-vocational 10,873 Apprenticeship classes 1,158 K 46 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Training of Industrial Arts and Vocational Teachers The Vocational Teacher-training Department of the Vancouver Vocational Institute has continued to be the main training project. This unit, under the supervision of Mr. T. Quayle, has been operated very successfully, and the graduate teachers have done a very efficient job of shop teaching. The Dominion Department of Labour and the Provincial Department of Education share equally in the cost of Vocational Teacher-training. The demand for efficiently trained Vocational teachers increases year by year. The Summer School for Industrial Arts teachers, held at the Vancouver Technical School, provides an opportunity for many teachers to get credit toward obtaining their Industrial Arts Teacher's Certificate. Night-school classes were held this year to increase the supply of both Industrial Arts and Vocational teachers. Despite the extra training, it was necessary to bring trained teachers from other Provinces to fill the positions available. It is very difficult to attract a well-educated and efficient tradesman to the teaching profession because his wages are very much higher than the minimum salary offered to him by the local School Boards. Steps were taken this year to train Vocational Commercial teachers to fill the steady demand for such trained instructors. The enrolment during the past year was as follows:— Industrial Arts and Vocational Teacher-training— Part-time courses 72 Full-time courses 13 Summer School 71 Total 156 Vocational Schools' Assistance Agreement Under this agreement between the Dominion Department of Labour and the Provincial Government, extra grants are paid to School Boards who offer Vocational, Commercial, Agriculture, and Industrial Courses. Vocational Courses are offered in day and evening classes. For the year 1950-51, the enrolment was as follows:— Number of Pupils Number of Teachers Part-time Full-time Day-schools Night-schools.- Teacher-training- Bursaries to Vocational students..

Each department has its own Advisory Committee, consisting of representatives of labour and management. These committees assist and advise in all matters pertaining to the training programme. The training at the Institute is of special assistance to four main groups of people:— (1) Students who have completed their high-school education and who wish to take short, intensive, practical courses before entering desired trades. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION K 47 (2) People who require up-grading in their own particular trades. (3) People who, due to injury or lack of interest in their present occupations, wish to rehabilitate themselves in some new line of endeavour. (4) New Canadians who wish to familiarize themselves with our local conditions and customs before seeking employment. Applicants for training in the Institute must be at least 16 years of age and have a Grade X educational standing or its equivalent. The Institute operates on a seven-hour day, a five-day week, and a twelve-month year. The courses range from ten weeks to eighteen months in length. In most courses the number of students is limited so that individual attention and close supervision may be given. All the courses are practical in nature, but all practice is supplemented by a thorough study of the principles involved. Each student is interviewed before enrolling and is given guidance in the selection of a suitable course. While employment is not guaranteed by the Institute, a placement service is maintained to assist the student to find employment in his particular field of work when he has finished his training. A student is eligible for placement when he has reached a sufficiently high standard to hold a position in his own particular trade. The Vancouver Vocational Institute is established to provide the following service to the people of the Province of British Columbia—namely, that no young person nor adult should lack the opportunity to acquire training which will help him earn his living. The following was the enrolment during the past school-year. All classes received grants under the Dominion-Provincial Vocational Schools' Assistance Agreement with the exception of the class in Power-machine Sewing, the costs of which were paid under the Schedules C and M of the Dominion-Provincial Vocational Training Agreement.

Home Economics rooms in new school buildings opened during the year were as follows:— Abbotsford: Airport School. Duncan: Cowichan Junior-Senior High School. Powell River: Brooks Junior-Senior High School. Summerland: Summerland Junior-Senior High School. Surrey: Princess Margaret Junior-Senior High School. Vancouver: John Oliver Senior High School and Gladstone Junior High School. Victoria: S. J. Willis Junior High School. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION—HOME ECONOMICS K 49 The centre at Michel-Natal was reopened in September, 1950, after being closed for several years. Renovations were made during the year to the Home Economics room in the Ocean Fall High School. There are 183 Home Economics teachers on the staffs of the schools in the Province, showing an increase of 18 over the total for last year. Of these, 53 are graduates from the Home Economics Department of the University of British Columbia. In spite of the number of Home Economics graduates of the University of British Columbia who yearly turn to teaching, the demand for teachers still exceeds the supply. This is attributed to the degree of expansion of Home Economics throughout the Province and the rate of turnover in teaching staffs. Owing to the shortage of Home Economics teachers, the teacher-training classes offered through Summer School sessions were continued in 1951. Fifty-seven teachers enrolled for the two courses which were offered to home economists—Problems in Home Economics and Curriculum and Methods in Home Economics. Of these, twenty-four were beginning teachers, who were appointed to Home Economics teaching positions for the school year 1951-52. Home Economics teachers of this Province on the staff of the Summer School of Education during the 1951 session were-—Miss Joyce Crabtree, B.Sc.(H.Ec), B.Ed.; Mrs. Edna M. Eaton, B.Sc.(H.Ec); Mrs. Evelyn Hatton, B.Sc.(H.Ec); Miss Muriel Johnson, B.Sc.(H.Ec); and Mrs. Mary N. K. Reid, B.Sc.(H.Ec). Miss Ailsie M. Stevenson, B.S.(H.Ec), M.A.(H.Ec), State Assistant Supervisor of Home Economics Education and Assistant Professor of Home Economics, Washington State College, Pullman, Wash., directed the Home Economics Workshop. Fourteen teachers were enrolled in the workshop. Four courses were revised during the summer session—namely, Child Care and Home Nursing 24, Homemaking 30, Clothing Selection and Construction 31, and Foods and Nutrition 32. These course outlines will be printed in experimental form and used in the schools for a period of time before appearing in the final form. K 50 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 DIVISION OF EDUCATIONAL REFERENCE AND SCHOOL SERVICE REPORT OF MURIEL A. SCACE, B.A., DIRECTOR The Division of Educational Reference and School Service is charged with the responsibility of publishing British Columbia Schools, the official organ of the Department of Education, which is issued quarterly in elementary and secondary editions. It is also responsible for the library of the Department of Education and for the preparation of reference materials for Departmental officials, Inspectors of Schools, teachers, and Curriculum Committees. The activities of this Division for the school-year 1950-51 may be summarized as follows:— " British Columbia Schools " British Columbia Schools, the official publication of the Department of Education, is sent free of charge eight times during the school-year to all teachers in the Province. It is designed to provide in-service professional aid, to assist teachers in keeping abreast of the latest developments in the field of education, to list new teaching aids and materials, and to acquaint teachers and officials with changes in the Programme of Studies and with new regulations of the Department of Education. The publication of a Departmental magazine for teachers was initiated in September, 1944, with the publication of The Rural School, which was sent to both elementary and secondary teachers in the rural areas. Many requests were made that this magazine be available to all elementary teachers, and in February, 1946, The Rural School was replaced by British Columbia Schools, Elementary Edition, which is currently issued on a quarterly basis to all teachers in the elementary grades. In October, 1946, the publication of a Secondary Edition of the magazine was also undertaken, with free distribution, on a quarterly basis, to all teachers in secondary schools. During the school-year 1950- 51, 14,200 copies of the Elementary Edition were published and 9,915 copies of the Secondary Edition. This issue provided a sufficient number of magazines to supply all teachers and principals, Inspectors of Schools, Departmental officials, and School Boards throughout the Province. In addition, copies were supplied, upon request, to teachers in private schools, Indian schools, and schools supported by religious denominations. Copies of each issue of the magazine were supplied to all students of the Victoria Normal School and of the teacher-training department at the University of British Columbia. Complimentary copies were also sent to all Provincial Departments of Education throughout Canada, to a number of State Departments of Education across the Border, and to numerous educators, educational organizations, and libraries in both Canada and the United States. Files of the magazine were sent, upon request, to U.N.E.S.C.O. House in Paris for the use of students at international seminars of education. The substantial increase in school enrolment, now averaging more than 10,000 yearly, with the subsequent increase in the number of teachers, is reflected in the number of magazines required to supply the teachers of the Province. The following figures are of interest: In September, 1946, 3,300 copies of the Elementary Edition were printed; for September, 1951, 5,200 copies of the Elementary Edition were required; in October, 1946, 2,000 copies of the Secondary Edition were printed; for October, 1951, 3,650 copies of the Secondary Edition were required. There has been a marked increase in the number of magazines sent upon request to private and Indian schools, and to schools supported by religious denominations. EDUCATIONAL REFERENCE AND SCHOOL SERVICE K 51 Reference and School Service Reference Library Services A reference library is maintained in the Department of Education under the Director of this Division. The resources of this library are available to all Inspectors of Schools, Departmental and Normal School officials, and teachers engaged upon special research projects. It is stocked with a wide range of professional books in the field of education, and is kept up to date through careful evaluation and selection of the best current literature in the field. During the year 1950-51 approximately 200 new books were added to the collection. In addition, 135 regularly published educational periodicals, pamphlets, and bulletins are received annually. Of these, 95 are secured through subscription and 40 upon a free or exchange basis. The library also contains a wide selection of text-books supplied by publishing firms. The Director of this Division is responsible for the selection of books for the Teachers' Professional Library administered by the Public Library Commission. Through this library service, teachers in all parts of the Province are provided with free access to a wide range of the best and most up-to-date professional literature in the field of education. Text-books and Teaching Materials This Division maintains contacts with all educational publishers and evaluates supplementary books and teaching materials of all kinds. Text-books are secured from publishers for text-book selection committees and teacher committees engaged in curriculum revision. Notable materials of this type are brought to the attention of teachers and officials through British Columbia Schools. Programmes of Studies and Curricular Materials The Director of this Division acts as secretary of the Central Curriculum Committee, and in that capacity is concerned with the procuring and the preparation of professional educational materials for use by members of committees engaged in curriculum revision, and with the editing, final preparation for printing, and actual publication of Programmes of Studies. K 52 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 39 (VANCOUVER) REPORT OF H. N. MacCORKINDALE, B.A., SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Enrolment The very urgent need for the expansion of our school facilities is the greatest requirement of this district. The number of births resident within this area is by all means the most influential variable to be considered in predicting school enrolment. The influx of school population from outside areas, and the considerable movement of the population within the city itself, tends to produce unpredictable circumstances in new areas of this school district. By carefully spotting the number and location of the various building permits issued through the Building Department of the City Hall, certain pertinent conclusions can be determined. By the judicious use of portable school buildings, one- and two-room units, splendid education facilities have been provided economically in areas where the enrolment is at present abnormally high and which later will tend to decrease. Let me state briefly the possible trends in school enrolment based on birth rates annually and divided into three periods. A. Pre-war Period (1933 to 1939, Inclusive).—The average of the annual births for this seven-year period, domiciled in the City of Vancouver, was 3,777. It should be noted that the first year of this period, 1933, is the group which has just graduated from the senior secondary schools of the Province. The remaining six years of this period will constitute, for the next school-year, the students in the secondary schools (Grades VII to XII, inclusive). Consequently, the average annual increase in the senior secondary schools for the next six years will not be very rapid. B. War Period (1940 to 1945, Inclusive).—For this six-year period the average of the annual births domiciled in the City of Vancouver was 6,645. This is an average annual increase of approximately 76 per cent over the pre-war period. By September next, practically all the children born in the war period will be enrolled in the first six grades of the elementary schools. A check on the enrolment shows that this elementary- school group is approximately 76 per cent above the enrolment of the secondary-school group referred to above. C. Post-war Period (1946 to 1950, Inclusive).—The average of the annual births for this five-year period rose to 9,813, an average annual increase over the pre-war period of approximately 160 per cent. In September, 1952, those born the first year of the post-war period will enrol in Grade I. This indicates that the year 1952 constitutes the beginning of a period of the most rapid increase in future school enrolment in this district. This trend has not been local, but is world wide. The Department of Education and the various School Boards of the Province and this district must make every effort to provide the necessary staff, buildings, and equipment to care for the proper growth and development of these children. This means that the beginning of the greatest period of overcrowding will likely be in 1953-54. School Buildings The following buildings were completed during the school-year 1950-51:— Beaconsfield Elementary School (addition): Four classrooms and combined gymnasium-auditorium. Douglas Elementary School (addition): Fifteen classrooms, library, lunchroom, and combined gymnasium-auditorium. -J lv,l.: SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 39 (VANCOUVER) K 53 Gladstone Secondary School (new school): Twenty-two classrooms, fourteen special rooms, four shops, cafeteria, and double gymnasium. King Edward High School (addition): Double gymnasium and cafeteria. John Oliver Secondary School (addition): Sixteen classrooms, sixteen special rooms, double gymnasium, and administrative offices. Prince of Wales High School (addition): Gymnasium. Renfrew Elementary School (addition): Sixteen classrooms and lunchroom. Sexsmith Elementary School (addition): Two classrooms, lunchroom, and combined gymnasium-auditorium. Van Home Elementary School (addition): Six classrooms, lunchroom, and combined gymnasium-auditorium. Portable classrooms: Three. Administration Building of approximately 62,000 square feet in area. In concluding my comments on the building programme of the Vancouver School Board for the year 1950-51,1 should like to pay a special tribute to the Board of School Trustees for providing a splendid new Administration Building, officially opened June 22nd, 1951. The completion of this project supplied the system with its greatest present need. By consolidating our headquarters staff in one building, so well planned, it will, I am sure, mean a great deal to the efficient operation of the school system as a whole. It is my contention that this new building is one of the best-planned school-administration units to be found anywhere. Testing The following tests were given during the school-year 1950-51:— (1) Number of individual intelligence tests given, 888. (2) Number of pupils given group intelligence tests, 10,774. (This applies to the tests actually administered by the personnel of the Bureau of Measurements.) (3) Intelligence tests were given to 239 prospective Grade Ib pupils who were under 6 years of age prior to December 1st, 1950. (Pupils 6 years of age in December, 1950, were tested.) Eighty of the 239 were admitted on trial to Grade Ib, and the remainder, 159, were rejected as being unlikely to succeed in the work of the first grade. During September the Detroit Beginning First-Grade Intelligence Test (revised) was administered to all Grade Ib pupils. (4) For June, 1951, achievement tests in the fundamental subjects were given to approximately 3,400 pupils of Grades VI, VII, and VII—Grade VI and VII pupils in junior high-school areas for promotion to junior high school and Grade VIII pupils in senior high-school areas for promotion to senior high school. This type of standardized test assists Principals and Inspectors in maintaining levels of achievement. (5) Probationary classes in nursing of the Vancouver General Hospital were given intelligence tests—one class each in October and March. (6) Provincial testing programme: In November, at the request of Dr. C. B. Conway, Department of Education, Victoria, B.C., the British Columbia tests—Arithmetic Computation III-IV, Form B; IV-V, Form B; V-VI, Form A; and V-VI, Form B—were given to 2,761 Grade V pupils of a selection of Vancouver schools, chosen so that the median I.Q. of the selected schools would be the same as the median I.Q. for all Vancouver elementary schools. K 54 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 The programme of testing as listed above was done under the direction of Inspector R. Straight. It is with regret that I announce the retirement of Mr. Straight, who so capably organized our testing programme, in the Department of the Bureau of Measurements. The Department of Statistics in Ottawa has been, on different occasions, highly complimentary of the statistical returns made from our system. Much credit for this must go to Mr. Straight. Night-schools The following table gives the classification of the courses offered during the year, according to their nature and purpose, and also the number of classes, the number enrolled, and the number of instructors in each of the major divisions: Classification Number of Subjects Number of Classes Enrolment Number of Teachers Male Female Total Academic - .. :.. 26 55 18 14 14 17 2 3 7 62 35 98 60 21 61 41 20 8 31 1,436 697 3,460 568 130 92 310 370 197 427 1,145 100 1,171 337 1,672 532 202 169 804 2,581 697 3,560 1,739 467 1,764 842 572 366 1,231 44 (a) Apprenticeship (b) Non-apprenticeship - 31 83 47 Teacher-training (including kindergarten-teacher training) Homemaking . - 15 34 30 13 2 24 Totals - 156 437 7,687 6,132 13,819 323 To Mr. Graham Bruce, Director of Night Schools and Adult Education for the Vancouver School System, much credit is due for the continuous growth and development in this very important field of education. Instruction Special Supervisors of Art, Music, Handicrafts, Home Economics, Physical Education, Industrial Arts, and primary grades, have assisted the Superintendent, principals, and Inspectors in teacher growth and development. In both primary and secondary schools, principals have been given time to assist in the supervision of instruction and pupil-teacher growth. The Inspectors have visited all new appointees to the teaching staff and have given special assistance by in-service training conferences. The consolidation of the supervisory staff in the new Administration Building, with numerous conference-rooms and workrooms, will do a great deal toward the in- service training of our teaching staff. In general, there has been no great shortage of teachers applying for appointment to the permanent staff. It must be admitted that a large number of applicants are from outside the Province of British Columbia. I should state, however, that it is not easy to procure well-qualified teachers in Physical Education for girls and for the primary grades. During the year we have been able to curtail, to a marked degree, activities which originate from outside the school system and interfere with school instructional time. I have every reason to believe that the standard of classroom instruction has been maintained at a very high level. The following members of the staff were granted superannuation. These teachers are to be highly commended for the splendid and loyal service which they have given to our system.

To you, Sir, and to every member of your Department, I am most grateful for the splendid help, advice, and co-operation received at all times. K 56 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS School District No. 61 (Greater Victoria) REPORT OF J. F. K. ENGLISH, M.A., B.P/ED., MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS The school-year 1950 was one of the most active periods for District No. 61 since its inception, not only internally but also from the standpoint of educational conferences. In the early autumn, Victoria was the host city to the Canadian Education Association. Almost simultaneously both the British Columbia and Dominion School Trustees Associations met in conference here. Somewhat later in the year the Provincial Parent-Teacher Convention took place in Victoria. To all of these the school system contributed professionally and to the entertainment of our guests. In June of this year we were also glad to welcome for a one-day visit the supervisory staff of the Vancouver schools. In addition, more persons than usual from outside Victoria visited the district, the chief centre of interest being the new S. J. Willis Junior High School. Staff changes, for several reasons, were more numerous than usual during the year. -"However, we were fortunate in securing many outstanding teachers as of last September. The unfortunate death of Mr. Hugh W. Creelman, Principal of Lampson Street School in Esquimalt, necessitated the transfer of several principals shortly after the term opened. However, adjustments were made easily and without incident. At the close of the year two principals, Mr. Arthur Hunkin and Mr. W. H. Wilson, retired. Both have given exceptionally good service over a long period of time in the City of Victoria. Victoria College (John M. Ewing, B.A., D.Psd., Principal) The session of 1950-51 opened with a registration of 317, which was substantially below that of 1949-50. The causes of this reduction were not local, and a similar falling- off of attendance was experienced in every institution of higher education in the country. The faculty was at full strength throughout 1950-51, no member being on leave-of- absence. This was a most satisfactory state of affairs and was reflected in a high level of achievement on the part of students and faculty alike. During 1950-51, a start was made on the construction of a new library- administration building for the College. This building, provided by the Provincial Government, will be available in the session of 1951-52, and will constitute a first-rate addition to the academic resources of the College. It will also supply much needed staff offices. At the end of the session, the retirement of Jeffree A. Cunningham, Vice-Principal and Professor of Biology, and of George P. Black, Associate Professor of Classics, made staff changes necessary. The Council accepted the resignations of these eminent and greatly respected teachers with the utmost reluctance. The College also lost the services of Miss Kathleen Mathews, a most efficient Librarian. The following appointments were made, to take effect in the session of 1951-52: W. Harry Hickman, M.A.(Brit.CoL), Docteur de 1'Universite de Paris, Associate Professor of French, to be Vice-Principal; John Carson, M.A.(Oxon.), to be Assistant Professor of Classics; Gwladys V. Downes, M.A.(Brit.CoL), to be Instructor in French; and Douglas G. Lochhead, B.A.(McGill), M.A.(Tor.), B.L.S.(McGill), to be Librarian. REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 57 Victoria High School (H. L. Smith, M.A., Principal) During the past year the standard of academic achievement at the Victoria High School has been maintained. For the second successive year one of our students led the Province in the University Entrance examination in 1950, and a group of excellent candidates for scholarships are again competing for awards in the examinations now in progress. During the past year also, former students from this school again achieved distinction both at Victoria College and at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Numerous other awards in Music, Art, Literature, and Athletics would seem to be an indication that the function of the school to contribute to the harmonious development of the student is also being performed effectively. On June 1st and 2nd the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the establishment of Victoria High School was marked by appropriate ceremonies. These celebrations served as a reminder of the debt we owe to our predecessors for the rich heritage, both material and intangible, which we enjoy. It was peculiarly appropriate that the Victoria Gyro Club Cinder Track should be officially declared open for the school and community use on the occasion of the B.C. Track and Field Championship, held as a special feature of our anniversary celebrations. The members of the local Gyro Club are to be commended most heartily for this expression of interest in the welfare of the youth of this community. Five of our teachers who are leaving the staff were honoured at a special function at the completion of the school-year: Miss Mary Hamilton, Mr. W. E. Cook, Mr. Hubert Cumberbirch, and Mr. W. A. Roper, all after many years of devoted service, and Mr. John Parnall has resigned to accept a position on the staff of the University of British Columbia as Associate Registrar and Instructor in Mathematics. Oak Bay High School (D. H. Hartness, B.A., Principal) The enrolment remained practically unchanged through the year with 354 pupils enrolled in September and 352 in June. This is a slight increase over last year's attendance and indicates that an upward trend in numbers may be expected in September. The school continues to make ample provision for individual programmes through the variety of courses offered and by the working out of individual time-tables for the pupils. In spite of very free offerings our matriculation class continues large. Only a very small group out of the Grade XII class of 87 has elected to follow a general programme. The system of prefects, plus a strong elected Students' Council, continues to fill the needs of student participation in school government well. This year we have been particularly fortunate in our student leaders who have, in their work, shown a full realization of their responsibilities and that they have the well-being of the school at heart. Mount View High School (J. M. Thomas, M.A., D.Paed., Principal) Enrolment for the year 1950-51 was fairly constant. The opening of the S. J. Willis Junior High School reduced enrolment in Grade IX by one class. A larger number than usual left school in Grades X and XI to enter employment. The demand for commercial help has been great. A good standard of academic achievement was maintained both in the lower grades and at University Entrance and Senior Matriculation levels. There has been a wide range of activity in Music and Drama. Student groups took part in the Musical and Drama Festivals and many intramural programmes provided. The interest shown in these two departments is most encouraging and reflects upon the K 58 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 instructors in this field. The proposed alterations to the school auditorium would make possible much greater progress at much less effort. The Folk-dancing group and the Junior Vocal Ensemble won their contests in the Musical Festival. Esquimalt High School (Clive Kelly, B.A., Principal) The school during this year was expanded from seven to eight divisions, the new division increasing to two the number of Grade XI classes. An additional member was added to the staff, making the total ten, including the Principal, but excluding Industrial Arts and Home Economics teachers. The total enrolment was 225, being made up of 108 boys and 117 girls. Besides offering a full programme of curricular subjects, including such options as Commercial subjects, Music, Art, Drama, and Journalism, the school participated in a well-rounded extra-curricular sports programme, including soccer, rugby, basketball, softball, grass hockey, track, and baseball. Both interhouse and interschool leagues were in operation. During the past year, through the co-operation of the Kiwanis Club, of Victoria, special speakers visited the school to give students first-hand information regarding the various occupational fields. Each student in Grades XI and XII completed a job study in one particular field. Mount Douglas High School (Eric Forster, B.A., B.Ed., Principal) There were 125 students enrolled during the year, which was a slight increase over the two previous seasons. For a small high school, the optional courses offered are extensive. These include Art, Drama, Commercial subjects, Industrial Arts, Home Economics, and Latin. During the school-year 1951-52, it is proposed to extend this programme to include Music and Physics. In the extra-curricular field, there is a wide variety of activities, including Girls' and Boys' Hi-Y Clubs, Junior Red Cross, Dramatics, Drill Team, and Sports. At this high school the Parent-Teacher Association is making an outstanding contribution. During the year, several meetings were devoted to the purely educational aspect of the schools. The Parent-Teacher Association expounded so well that a bursary fund of $2,000 to help needy students was established. Central Junior High School (A. T. Hunkin, B.Sc, M.A., Principal) With the opening of the S. J. Willis Junior High School and the transfer to our school of the Grade VII pupils from Sir James Douglas Elementary School, the area served by the Central School has become defined. It does not seem that it will be necessary in the future to maintain the enrolment by bringing in volunteer pupils from comparatively great distances. Again in the fall of 1950 the parents of our pupils met with the teachers in a combined meeting for the purpose of getting better acquainted and for explaining the part of the junior high school in the new secondary-school curriculum. In the spring, another parents' meeting was held, when advice was given by the staff as to the choice of suitable courses for next year in the senior high schools. As this is the last report I shall write as principal of Central Junior High School, I wish to express my appreciation of the friendly relations that have always existed between the members of the School Board and myself. My thanks are also due to Mr. J. F. K. English, the Senior Municipal Inspector of Schools, for his valued help and encouragement. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to a loyal, co-operative, and devoted school REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 59 staff by expressing my gratitude for the work they have done under difficult physical conditions, often very disheartening when the weather has been inclement. The loyal support of the whole staff, teachers, and other members, has been outstanding. S. J. Willis Junior High School (B. C. Gillie, B.A., B.Ed., Principal) The first year of a new school is bound to be one of problems to solve and difficulties to overcome. Certainly S. J. Willis was no exception to this general rule. Opening some five weeks late on October 4th, we were confronted with a building still far from complete and a severely reduced time schedule. However, the five weeks previous to this date had been spent in laying as careful a foundation for our school as was humanly possible. As a result of this planning, we feel that we have been able to make up much of the lost time and to solve many of the difficulties inherent in a new school plant and organization. Two general objectives for the student-body were set up, which we hope to establish as a guiding principle of the school through the years to come. They are: (1) That the students should learn to respect and appreciate the values and satisfactions of hard work under sympathetic and careful guidance, (2) that they should at all times be expected to maintain a high standard of discipline and general conduct. The standards for both of these, set up this year by the staff, have been very high indeed, and have been achieved to a degree surpassing our fondest expectations. It is hoped that a continuation of this policy may be successful in making the school an important factor in the educational pattern of the community. Elementary Schools (John Gough, M.A., Inspector of Schools) The past year witnessed the introduction of a significant trend in the school organization of this district. This involved the transfer in September of pupils in Grades VII and (or) VIII from five elementary schools to the Central and S. J. Willis Junior High Schools. It permitted Cloverdale, Oaklands, Quadra, North Ward, and Sir James Douglas Schools to concentrate on the curriculum for Grades I to VI and also created more space for the expanding enrolment. In spite of the adjustment noted, there was a large increase in pupil enrolment in the elementary schools. The figure for October, 1950, showed that 8,423 children were in attendance whereas the number one year earlier was 8,198. The challenge of accommodating the extra pupils was met satisfactorily, although on a temporary basis, by erecting a one-room annex on the grounds of Doncaster, Monterey Avenue, and Willows Schools, and by developing classroom space at Cedar Hill, Kingston Street, McKenzie Avenue, Margaret Jenkins, Tillicum, and Tolmie Schools. Eleven additional teachers were required, bringing the total number to 241, apart from those associated with Home Economics and Industrial Arts. Kindergarten-Primary Department (Miss Marian D. James, Director) Throughout the year the Primary Department has carried on its regular programme. Monthly meetings have been held to discuss problems and to present material intended to improve the work in the schools. Kindergarten and primary teachers assisted at the B.C. Parent-Teacher Association Convention by arranging attractive classroom displays for " Know Your Schools." Miss Amy Vye, of Quadra Street School, gave a good demonstration of the teaching of primary reading at this convention. The kindergartens continued to operate with full classes in each centre. During the year the teachers of these classes assisted in producing an excellent inventory of the K 60 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 kindergarten materials in use in our schools. This inventory should provide a good guide for future use in equipping new kindergartens as well as helping keep the present equipment up to standard. In March, 1951, the Delta Kappa Gamma—Educational Honour Society of the United States of America—honoured Miss Marian D. James, Miss Eleanor Bell, and the late Miss Muriel Anderson by inviting them to become members of the Upsilon Chapter, Port Angeles, Wash. I cannot close this report without mentioning the great loss the Primary Department has suffered this year. Miss Muriel Anderson, who died after a long illness, was a valued member of our staff and a friend to all of us. Primary, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Crafts Department (Miss A. Verna Turner, M.A., Director) Between fifteen and twenty pupils attended each of five Crafts classes. The age- groups represented were: Primary, 7-9 years; Junior, 9-11 years; Intermediate, 10-14 years; and Senior, 13-17 years. In all four classes, handcrafts played an important part in instruction, and the three " R's " were related to activities wherever possible. Primary Eighteen pupils attended the class during the term. Readjustment to school routine and activities was achieved by adapting the regular course of the primary grades to meet the needs of the children. Junior In this class of twenty boys, the basic programme included reading, language, spelling, writing, and arithmetic. Games, plays, and a store were important aids in the social development of the boys. Handwork included a puppet show, a moving picture, oilcloth stuffed toys, aprons, spool knitting, paper-cutting, painting, drawing and illustrating lessons in science, and social studies. Once a week the class went to South Park School for cooking instruction. One boy was on the traffic patrol all year and another played on the school softball team. The class saw a number of films on Social Studies with the regular classes. Intermediate Twenty-four pupils attended this class from September to December, and twenty- one were enrolled from January to June. Individual cases were studied and attention given to problems presented. The age levels were from ten to fourteen years and grade levels were from Grade I to Grade V in reading and arithmetic. The basic programme stressed reading, language, spelling, arithmetic, and writing. In social studies, science, and health, a course of interest to the children was carried out. Weekly classes in woodwork were held at South Park School for the boys and sewing taught to the girls by the class teacher. Senior (Boys) An average of twenty boys attended this class. Most of the regular school subjects were taught, with the emphasis being placed on arithmetic, reading, spelling, and writing. Many educational films were shown to illustrate science and social studies topics. An attempt was made to link all subjects with the every-day life of the pupils. Senior (Girls) Eighteen girls were enrolled in all of the basic subjects. Emphasis was placed on reading, arithmetic, language, spelling, and writing. Several films were shown and school journeys arranged. REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 61 Many types of handcrafts were taught, care being taken to choose those having either a therapeutic value or an educational objective. Effort was made to correlate the lessons in handcrafts with those in the basic subjects. Among the handwork processes which were taught were various types of raffia work, including braided and woven baskets, dolls, and animals. Other dolls and puppets employed the use of wax and cloth, papier mache, wax-crayon stencil, and paper folding. A course in dress design and clothes appreciation was taught, which expanded further to involve the making and clothing of figures and the use of figures in composition. Department of Physical Education (George Grant, B.A., Director) The year 1950-51 brought thirty-five new elementary and eight (out of nineteen) new secondary teachers into the physical-education field. In addition to visits, the elementary teachers were assisted by meetings in November dealing with special activities for cold weather and some sample lessons of the same. Seventeen teachers (as well as twenty-three Normal School students) took the complete night-school course in Sports Education. This course, carrying Summer School of Education credits, consisted of the techniques of coaching and officiating team sports and was given by men outstanding in their fields—namely, Art Chapman (basketball), William H. Muncy (grass hockey), Archie MacKinnon (volleyball), Jim Morrison (softball), Bruce Humber (track and field), and the Director (soccer). Revision of our district curriculum for Grades I-VIII did not materialize. However, the director was privileged to give considerable assistance to the Department of Education in the completion of the tentative new Course of Studies in Physical Education for Grades I-VI, and it is hoped that we may begin some sort of revision of this material next year by our own committee. The School Sports Associations carried on their usual busy schedule of activities. Enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and calibre of play are of the highest order and a credit to the coaches and sponsors. The culminating activity in track and field was the Provincial Inter-high Meet held on June 1st and 2nd on the new track at Victoria High. This, the third of its kind, was the largest and most successful ever staged. Winner was Victoria High with King Edward High, of Vancouver, second. The Strathcona Trust Shield, awarded for the first time in 1949-50 to Oaklands School, was won in 1950-51 by S. J. Willis Junior High. An outstanding part of the entertainment for the C.E.A. Convention in October was the talented performances put on by dance groups of Miss N. Ferguson, of Central Junior High, and Miss S. Stanley, of Victoria High. The time and effort of both pupils and teachers was much appreciated. Child Study Department (Miss A. Verna Turner, M.A., Director) From October, 1950, to June, 1951, standardized survey tests were given in various grades. There were tests in reading and vocabulary in Grades IV, V, VI, and IX. There was a test in spelling in Grade IV and a test in work-study skills in Grade VIII. There were tests in arithmetic computation and reasoning in Grades IV, VI, and VIII. The reading test in Grade IX was used to help identify remedial reading cases who might profit from the new course being offered next year in remedial English in Grade X. Three tests were administered for the Provincial Department of Education, Division of Tests, Standards, and Research. Two of these were arithmetic tests in Grades V and VI. The third was a comprehensive examination given to all candidates for junior matriculation. K 62 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Scholastic aptitude surveys were made in Grades I, IV, VIII, XI, XII, and XIII. A great many individual psychometric examinations were administered in order to distinguish remedial reading cases from candidates for Crafts classes. The achievement tests above Grade V were part of the regular " spring testing programme " in the basic skills, the major objective of which continues to be the identification of remedial cases in time to help them. Apart from the achievement tests used by the Child Study Department, there were tests in reading and arithmetic which were supplied by the Child Study Department to principals and teachers. These tests were used as teaching aids to diagnose weaknesses and to improve instruction. Audio-Visual Department (Denis W. Brown, B.A., Director) A. Projected Aids 1. Films.—In 1948 there were nine motion picture projectors, four of which were on circuit between schools. By September, 1951, there will be thirty-six in use. The demand for 16-mm. films has naturally been heavy. As always, the Division of Visual Education, under its Director, Mr. J. R. Pollock, has been most co-operative and, consistent with Provincial demands, has endeavoured to help meet the needs of the Greater Victoria area. All projectors are serviced annually and are carefully and consistently checked for efficient operation by school co-ordinators. Minor defects are immediately remedied, thereby cutting maintenance costs. 2. Opaque Projectors.—The value of the epidiascope for use with flat pictures, music, graphs, text material, essays, and maps has been recognized by a large number of teachers. The ease with which outlines, art work, and decorative materials can be traced has improved blackboard presentations and materially lessened the time required for work on new projects. The three opaques now circuited have been in demand at schools every day of the term. 3. Film-strips.—Although the majority of schools now have purchased or own strip projectors, the three loan machines are in constant demand. Fifty-five free film-strips were obtained and distributed to schools for their permanent use, and the local chapter of the I.O.D.E. has offered to provide the nucleus of a film-strip library to the Greater Victoria system. In addition, this organization has presented to our schools a very fine 16-mm. sound film, " The House of Windsor." 4. Radio Programmes.—The calendar of school broadcasts and the radio bulletins are sent to all schools early in September. From a survey made each June, it has been found that the elementary grades make effective use of the music, art, and social studies programmes. Mr. Kitley, Director of School Broadcasts, has made several trips and interviewed many teachers to determine the requirements of our schools in this field. B. Non-projected Aids These will not be covered in detail, but include maps, bulletin-board materials, school journeys, flat pictures, models, and free materials. To summarize a few highlights on the non-projected aids, the following facts may be of interest: Free materials obtained and distributed, including booklets, charts, etc.— over 14,000 pieces; models loaned—averaged five per week for two-week loan periods; flat pictures loaned—averaged eight per day for two-week loan periods; school journeys— 6,639 pupils transported. REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 63 School Dental Health Services (Dr. Hugh Clarke, D.D.S., Director) During the past year, certain changes were made in the School Dental Health Programme, and to implement them Dr. David Parfitt and his dental assistant, Miss Katherine Fatt, were taken on the staff on a full-time basis. This was made necessary by the ever-increasing school population, which has now passed the 11,500 mark in the school district. The School Dental Health Programme is based on the prevention and control of dental diseases, rather than the treatment of such conditions after they have developed. This year the department has stepped up its educational programme, and all operating time is now used on the younger age-groups (the Kindergarten and Grade I classes and pre-school children), where the most good can be done for the greatest number. The following is a summary of the work of the Dental Department during the past year:— Dental examinations made 15,043 Fillings of all kinds 2,170 Teeth extracted 242 Miscellaneous treatments _ 711 Prophylaxis (teeth cleaned) i~ 575 Parents interviewed 957 Speech Therapy Department (Miss Marie C. Crickmay, L.C.S.T., Director) During the school-year 1950-51, approximately 300 children with speech difficulties, ranging from minor articulatory defects to severe cases of stammering, have been examined. Of these, eighty-five have received treatment, either at the Speech Clinic or at their schools if these were in the outlying districts of Greater Victoria, while many of the remainder have been helped by their parents and teachers under supervision. Of the eighty-five who have received direct treatment, fifty-seven are now speaking normally and the remainder all show a marked improvement. It is interesting to note that during the ten years that speech therapy has been in existence in the schools of Greater Victoria, the age of the children suffering from speech difficulties has steadily declined. At first, speech defectives were to be found in all grades of the elementary schools and up to Grade XII in the high schools. During recent years, however, few cases have been found in the high schools. Mental Health Department (Miss Edna Lawrence, Director) The following is a summary of the activities of the Mental Health Co-ordinator in the Greater Victoria Schools for the year ended June, 1951:— Group conferences with Family Welfare and Children's Service, Health Units, School Personnel, and Child Guidance Clinic 45 Individual consultations with Family Welfare and Children's Service, Health Units, Supervisors, Juvenile Officers, City and Provincial Welfare, and Child Guidance Clinic 261 Visits to schools 296 Teacher interviews regarding mental health problems in the classroom, information for Child Guidance Clinic, Family Welfare and Children's Service, and City Welfare 181 K 64 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Home-visits— Parent interviews 107 Replacement in Craft classes 64 171 Student interviews 36 Talks and discussions with P.-T.A. Study Groups and Professional and Service Clubs 41 Films 4 Music Department (H. J. Bigsby, B.A.(Mus.Ed.), Acting Director) Early in the school-year the Music Department contributed certain items for a display of entertainment for The Canadian Education Association Convention, which was held in this city. The programme was well received and was presented again before the Board of School Trustees Convention the following week. A music committee of teachers from this district was again in charge of the music section of the Fall Convention of Island Teachers and presented a very successful programme of demonstrations, discussions, and exhibits. A highly successful programme of Christmas music was presented on a Parent-Teacher Radio Programme by means of records which were recorded in the classrooms and then replayed on the air. The Music Department also co-operated with the P.-T.A. by setting up a music display for the educational exhibit held during their convention. The classroom work this past year was encouraging. The teachers of the elementary grades were more conscious of the remedial work necessary for young out-of-tuners.- Real interest and activity was noticed in the primary teachers' work in the rhythmic activities of those grades, and the listening programme showed increased expansion. Home Economics Department (Miss Beth T. Ramsay, M.A., Director) The number of students taking Home Economics this year has remained about the same as last year, approximately 1,350, with thirteen full-time teachers. In addition, two Crafts classes have been given work in the clothing and food areas. The Home Economics teachers have also helped with projects sponsored by the P.-T.A.—a radio programme and a display for the Provincial P.-T.A. Convention in March. Some of the teachers have participated in the revision of the Home Economics at the Victoria Summer School to help compile suggestions for these new courses. In view of this revision, some new text-books have been authorized for use in the classes, and I feel this will be of much benefit. Industrial Arts and Vocational Training (John S. White, Director) For the school-year 1950-51 the following report is submitted:— Vocational-Technical Unit 1. Advisory Committees.—From February to June, thirty-five evening meetings have been held with members of the various advisory committees on technical education, to lay out courses of instruction for both pre-employment and apprenticeship training. A great deal of credit is due these committeemen, as they have served faithfully and without reward for the betterment of technical training. In addition, they have helped with placement of the graduating student from day-school into trades. At the present REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 65 time the demand for technical graduates for apprenticeship exceeds the number available. From these meetings have emerged recommendations to the Department of Education and Department of Labour on the Apprenticeship Act to meet the present-day conditions in British Columbia, for the purpose of laying down proper training courses at night- school for apprentices in these trades. 2. Repair Work.—With the facilities of this unit at hand a good deal of repair- work has been carried out by both students and instructors on various kinds of electrical and machine equipment for the Industrial Arts shops in the Greater Victoria area. This is only carried out on jobs which contribute to the educational growth of the student. 3. New Equipment.—Lathe stands, engine hoists, bin carriers, tank stands, etc., were constructed for the school by shop instructors taking a course in oxy-acetylene and arc welding. This provided needed equipment and gave the men the training required. Five drill-presses and three wet grinders (with motors) were built by students for use in the various Industrial Arts shops in the Greater Victoria area. This was possible because of the able manner in which Mr. Gibson, our machine-shop instructor, has fostered and built up the aluminium foundry. Old automobile pistons, engine-heads, etc., are given to the school for this purpose by the business firms in Victoria, even though they can sell them for 8 cents a pound. This speaks well of the interest and attitude that these men have for our educational system. Evening Classes (George Anstey, Director) In preparing the following report—my last, unavoidably—my thirty-eight years' association with the night-schools of Victoria and district has been uppermost in my thoughts. During the last thirteen years, I have had the privilege of directing these activities for the School Board. The enrolment has increased from 300 in 1913-14 to over 1,500, and from fourteen courses, mostly of an academic type, to fifty-three courses, none of which are strictly academic. Increasing interest is being taken in Vocational Courses, due largely to the activities of Mr. J. S. White. During the past season, he has been in touch with industrial firms and trade committees to a greater extent than was possible in former years. It was due to his influence that two new Vocational Courses were opened in January. The staff of sixty instructors gave good co-operation and support and, on the whole, was very satisfactory. All were experts in their subjects. The interest most instructors took in their students enabled them to give complete satisfaction to the class, although most of them are not trained teachers. Upon the closing night a good many students expressed to me the pleasure and profit they had derived from the year's study. In several cases, this was shown in a tangible form, either by a gift to the instructor or a closing banquet. School District No. 40 (New Westminster) REPORT OF ROY S. SHIELDS, B.A., MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS The school-year 1950-51 marked pleasing and progressive efficiency in the school system of New Westminster. All departments—academic, technical, maintenance, etc.— functioned smoothly and effectively throughout the year. Enrolment of pupils showed K 66 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 a normal increase, making the total number 4,300, with a staff of 143 teachers. Each year we are pleased to record a lightening of teacher-load, especially in the elementary schools. As mentioned in a former Report, it is gratifying to realize the broad field of scholastic development possible within our system at such a comparatively low material cost. Elementary, junior high, senior academic high (including senior matriculation), senior technical academic high (including provision for apprenticeship training), and an ever-growing night-school offer a wide range of important subjects. It is a pleasure to report the successes of the new junior high school and to express appreciation to all responsible for its existence, and to Mr. R. W. Adams and his staff of enthusiastic and capable teachers who, with a purposeful insight into pupil capacities, interests, and habits, are building such a keen pupil citizenship around present-day problems, activities, and opportunities. We are pleased at the growing number of interested parents and others who visit the school daily. The Board of School Trustees has had under consideration for some time the building of a new senior composite vocational high school near to the junior high school —a building capable of enrolling 1,000 pupils. Plans have been drawn and everything is in readiness for the placing of the necessary by-law when opportune. The needs of the elementary schools are not forgotten. This year a much needed addition to Lord Kelvin School has been built at a cost of $30,000, providing a lunchroom with all facilities, a primary classroom, and a medical-room. General school maintenance of all schools is reaching a high standard and adds greatly to the administrative success. Tests were given in all schools under the direction of Dr. C. B. Conway, and the results were creditable. It is interesting to note the continuing success of the elementary-school pool library, under the direction of Miss Hilda Smith. Its success has invited numerous inquiries from other school districts. The Medical Department operating from the Simon Fraser Health Unit, with Dr. Wylde, Nurses Miss Bews, Miss Engelstad, Miss Radford, and Miss Johnson in charge, has more than fulfilled its expectations. The Dental Department, with Dr. Oldfield, and Dental Nurse Mrs. Buckham, has made a definite contribution toward the health and happiness of our pupils. When the per capita cost is considered, the operation of these departments justify themselves from a financial standpoint alone. The preventive work is outstanding, and lectures given and whole-hearted interest shown in pupil development is keenly appreciated. One cannot pass lightly over the over-all value of these departments. We realize that the health, mental and physical, of growing children is the nation's greatest asset, but at times we may be prone to count material costs rather than anticipating the dividends of pupil well- being. Congratulations are due to members of our staff who have been chosen to work in higher fields of learning—Dr. Campbell Gilmour, Dr. Lorne McAdam, Dr. John Wilson, and Mr. J. G. Kirk; we wish them well. Special days during the year were suitably commemorated—the eightieth anniversary of May Day, celebration at the International Peace Arch, etc. Mr. W. T. Plaxton, principal of Sir Richard McBride School, and Mr. E. H. Lock, chairman of the English Department of Duke of Connaught High School, were granted superannuation. For over forty-five years and thirty-five years respectively these men have given of their best to the educational needs of this community. Their efforts have been keenly appreciated by the School Boards and pupils, and they take with them the best wishes of those with whom they have been associated. REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 67 I wish to pay tribute to the Parent-Teacher Associations of this city. These groups have worked diligently in the interests of our schools and have given valuable assistance to every worth-while project which would make the school-life of the pupils better and brighter. We owe, also, a debt of gratitude to many organizations who, among other interests, have donated scholarships to deserving students. No report on the activities of our schools would be complete without an expression of appreciation to the members of the Board of School Trustees—Mrs. H. Culter (chairman), Mrs. P. Amy, Mrs. I. G. MacFarlane, Mr. B. M. Bowell, Mr. A. Christie, Mr. A. W. E. Mercer, and Dr. W. A. Robertson—their officials, and to the Department of Education for the kindly sympathetic attention to educational necessities and to the staff of principals and teachers who have worked so efficiently and unselfishly this past year. School District No. 41 (Burnaby) REPORT OF C. G. BROWN, M.A., MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS The enrolment in Burnaby continues to expand by approximately 1,000 additional pupils a year. The present year's enrolment was 8,624, divided as follows: Elementary school, 5,524; junior high school, 2,084; and senior high school, 1,016. These pupils were distributed over the various grades in the following order: Grade I, 1,078; Grade 11,1,051; Grade III, 986; Grade IV, 893; Grade V, 796; Grade VI, 720; Grade VII, 731; Grade VIII, 687; Grade IX, 567; Grade X, 460; Grade XI, 282; Grade XII, 235; and Grade XIII, 39. The instructional staff was composed of 271 teachers. The completion of a number of new schools enabled the Board to accommodate the school population without resorting to a double-shift system, except in one or two instances. Thirty-two new classrooms were put into use during the year, and eighteen additional rooms are under construction. In December a third School Building By-law was approved by the electors, and this will involve the construction of sixty-seven instructional rooms, three gymnasium-auditoriums, and four Physical Education rooms. On May 11th the Honourable W. T. Straith, K.C., B.A., LL.B., Minister of Education, officiated at the opening of the following new schools: Alpha Junior High School, Douglas Road addition, Second Street addition, Windsor Street primary annex, Marlborough annex, and Lochdale primary annex. The new by-law will provide schools especially for the new subdivisions. The following new areas have developed entire new communities within Burnaby in the last two or three years:— Westridge, composed of 475 new homes with 100 additional under development. Cascade Heights, composed of 339 homes with 40 additional to be constructed. Suncrest, composed of 312 homes with 100 additional ones planned. Crescent View, 152 homes under development. These examples are typical of other large housing developments throughout our municipality. For a number of years yet the Board will be faced with a serious school- building programme. The Metropolitan Health Committee, Unit 5, continues to administer the school health services. The personnel of the health unit now includes one medical health officer, one public health nursing supervisor, nine public health nurses, and two sanitarians. Additional health services are rendered by two dental clinics, a mental-hygiene clinic, and an eye clinic. During the year, audiometer tests were given to screen out students with defective hearing. The services of a nutritionist are contributing to the better K 68 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 dealing with the food problems of the children. In October, 1,713 students were X-rayed by the T.B. mobile X-ray unit. An active immunization programme was also carried out during the year. Through this programme, 6,854 pupils, or 81 per cent of the school population, were immunized against diphtheria; 6,907, or 82 per cent, received smallpox vaccination; and 740 pre-school children were immunized against whooping-cough and diphtheria. In addition to the active school health services, the nurses conduct eight child-health centres for pre-school children, and very essential services are given to these future school pupils. A very extensive programme is being carried out by the School Board to renovate the older buildings and to improve the school-grounds. The lighting, plumbing, and redecoration of many of the old buildings have done much to make them serviceable for a number of years yet. Increased play areas are being brought into use, and considerable expansion of school lunchrooms is being put into operation. The Board has also made a survey for future school-sites. Very amicable relationships exist between the Board and its teaching staff, and between the administrative staff and the instructional staff. Such relationships are conducive to a good teaching morale and a good professional attitude. An active in-service programme was conducted by the primary and intermediate supervisors, and a successful night-school session was conducted under the direction of Mr. F. H. Pratt, Director. During the course of the year there were many occasions when the advice and assistance of the Department of Education was called upon, and at all times the Board and its administrative officers received the utmost of courtesy and guidance from the members of the Department. For these many considerations, I wish to record by sincere appreciation. School Districts No. 44 (North Vancouver) and No. 45 (West Vancouver) REPORT OF WILLIAM GRAY, M.A., MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS During the year 1950-51, in this inspectorate, a total of 6,578 children attended school, and 207 teachers were employed to instruct them. Of this number of teachers, 142 taught in North Vancouver and 65 in West Vancouver. The increase in number of pupils over the preceding year amounted to slightly over 9 per cent. This increase required additional classrooms, so that much of the work of the two School Boards was concerned with the provision of new school buildings. Over the past four years the annual increase in enrolment in each of the school districts has been relatively high, averaging approximately 10 per cent. As neither district has available vacant classrooms, each Board must plan for more schools for some years to come. North Vancouver Over the past five years the Board of School District No. 44 has added forty-six classrooms, in the form of new buildings or additions to existing buildings, in order to provide accommodation for the increased number of children attending school. These classrooms have been constructed at an average cost of approximately $14,000 each, exclusive of cost of site and equipment. This is the more remarkable when it is pointed out that the funds have been provided by the two Municipal Councils and the Provincial Government without borrowing by local by-law. The School Board and the respective Councils have agreed to continue this policy so long as it is possible to do so. REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL INSPECTORS K 69 The junior high-school system was begun in North Vancouver in 1937, but the two small junior high schools were superimposed on two elementary schools. In September, 1950, however, a forward step was taken with the opening of Sutherland Junior High School. At present only Grades VIII and IX are accommodated, but as more rooms are added, all three junior-high grades will be housed in this school or one similar to it. North Vancouver High School will now enrol only students in Grades X to XIII. In December last a six-room elementary school, the Highlands, was officially opened, providing for children of Grades I to VI in the western area of the district. The building programme for the current year included Norgate School, a four-room elementary school in the southern Capilano area, a two-room addition to Keith Lynn Elementary School, and an addition to Sutherland Junior High School to include, as well as classrooms, complete Home Economics and Industrial Arts Departments. Steps have also been taken in the present year to plan for further additions for the following school-year, but whether such plans will be carried to completion will depend largely on availability of financial assistance from the Government. The pool library which was begun some three years ago will be expanded, and it is hoped that out of it will develop information valuable to schools generally. Assistance is being received from the Public Library Commission, the members of which are interested in the experiment. Night-school classes were again carried on in conjunction with the Community Centre programme and were well attended. These classes are now very well established. One teacher, Miss Agnes Hamilton, after marry years of valuable service to the district, retired on superannuation. West Vancouver With the opening of school in September, additional classrooms were available in Pauline Johnson Elementary School. These, with the new large activity-room, resulted in a much improved school. During the year a room was added to Ridgeview School. Under construction on a site adjacent to the present high school is a new senior high school. The building presently used as a junior-senior high school will become a junior high school. Both schools will make use of the Practical Arts Building and the large playing-field lying between the two buildings. Thus all secondary education for the entire school district will be carried on in these two schools. The policy with regard to elementary schools is to place schools throughout the district so as to reduce or eliminate as far as possible the need for transportation. Unfortunately plans for constructing a new elementary school at West Bay have been delayed for a time. For the coming year temporary quarters will be used for the increased number of pupils. General Health services for all the schools in District Nos. 44 and 45 are supplied by the North Shore Health Unit. During the year seven nurses were employed, and they, with the unit director, carried out health examinations. Mental-health clinics were held twice monthly this year and were helpful to parents, teachers, and nurses in dealing with children's problems. Dental clinics are established in each district, one dentist being employed full time in North Vancouver and one part time in West Vancouver. The teaching staff each year increases in number, and much of the supervision must rest with the principals of the various schools. The teachers, generally, give excellent service and appear genuinely interested in the welfare of the pupils. Thanks are expressed for assistance in my work received from officials of the Department of Education and from members and officials of the Boards of School Trustees. K 70 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 School District No. 36 (Surrey) REPORT OF K. B. WOODWARD, B.A., B.Pjed., MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS In School District No. 36 the period of rapid growth seems to have ceased. In June, 1951, the enrolment stood at 6,055, an increase of 330 only over that of the preceding year. In December the new Princess Margaret Junior-Senior High School was officially opened by the Honourable W. T. Straith, assisted by Dr. F. T. Fairey. A new four-room school was opened at Johnston Road, and an addition of one room was built by the Surrey maintenance crew at Tynehead. This addition was in the nature of an experiment, and it was found that by using their own staff the Board could build a modern classroom at a cost much below the going rate. The Board now has two additions of two rooms each under construction to be built by their own crew out of current revenue. It is expected that when completed they will do away with the necessity for double shifts at the Grosvenor Road and Fleetwood Schools. During the year there were thirty-three elementary schools and five junior-senior high schools in operation. Because of the lack of room in the high schools, it was necessary to enrol Grade VII classes in the Crescent Park, Latimer Road, Ray Shepherd, and Sunnyside Elementary Schools. There were eight classes on double shift when school ended in June. Schools have now been built to serve all districts of Surrey, so that no elementary children have far to go. The need now seems to be for larger schools rather than more, and a few additions such as now are being built at Grosvenor Road and Fleetwood will, I believe, take care of the increase for some time to come. The opening of the Princess Margaret Junior-Senior High School helped the transportation problem somewhat. Queen Elizabeth now is a purely local school. It is filled by pupils within a 3-mile radius and no longer requires buses. But the bus problem is still acute, and in spite of staggered hours at some of the schools more buses are needed to carry the loads. In conclusion, I would like to express my appreciation for the co-operation and help which I have received during the year from the Department of Education, from the teaching staff of Surrey, and from the Surrey School Board. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 71 REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS School Districts No. 62 (Sooke), No. 63 (Saanich), and No. 64 (Saltspring) REPORT OF J. E. BROWN, M.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Pupil enrolment in all three Districts is increasing at a normal rate, making the need for additional school accommodation one of the Boards' chief problems. School District No. 62 (Sooke) This district extends from the suburban areas of Langford and Colwood to the rural industrial regions of Port Renfrew, Bear Creek, and Harris Creek. The district includes twelve elementary schools with twenty-nine teachers, and two junior-senior high schools with sixteen staff members. At present a by-law is being prepared to provide new elementary buildings at Bear Creek, Harris Creek, and Saseenos, and additions to schools in the rapidly-growing centres of Langford and Sooke. The by-law will also provide for substantial additions to the Belmont and Milnes Landing High Schools. The need for more practical courses in the Milnes Landing Junior-Senior High School will receive due consideration. School District No. 63 (Saanich) Progress is being made toward the implementation of the by-law which was passed last year, and which provides for new schools at Sidney, Brentwood, Royal Oak, and Lochside, an auditorium-gymnasium at Mount Newton High School, and additions to a number of older schools. It is anticipated that some of these projects will have been completed when school reopens in September. At the present time the district has eleven elementary schools with thirty-two teachers and two junior-senior high schools with twenty-four teachers. Transportation of high-school pupils will continue to be a costly and irritating problem until projected high-school facilities have been completed. School District No. 64 (Saltspring) This district consists of Saltspring Island, with its consolidated elementary-high school, and several other smaller Gulf Islands, each with one or more elementary schools. New school-houses have recently been constructed on Saturna and Mayne Islands. A by-law passed last April provides for additional rooms and facilities to the Ganges School, a new building at South Galiano, and the improvement and modernization of a number of smaller elementary schools. The providing of secondary-education facilities in the more remote areas continues to be a problem in this district. There is a growing demand that Grades VII to IX pupils be retained in some of the larger elementary schools. The policy of having children live away from home to attend high school has not proven very popular, and is not always easy to achieve. The Board hopes to add Commercial Courses and perhaps Practical Agriculture Courses to the high-school programme. At present the district has eight elementary schools with ten teachers and an elementary-high school with twelve teachers. The Saanich Health Unit has recently extended its services to include this district. Adjusting the educational programme to individual needs and abilities is an ever- present problem, nor is it confined entirely to high-school pupils. There are a number of retarded children for which specialized training should be provided in some of our elementary schools. The problem is to bring these children together in one centre and to secure a competent teacher with specialized training and equipment. This matter will K 72 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 receive serious consideration during the coming year. Consideration will also be given to adding courses in Practical Agriculture in a number of high schools. During the year cordial personal relations have prevailed throughout this inspectorate.

School District No. 38 (Richmond) The school population continued to increase this past year, and all schools were taxed to capacity. In addition to the regular classrooms, two rooms were improvised on the ground-floor basement of the Mitchell School, and the small outside gymnasium at Bridgeport was also altered to provide two classrooms. All Grade VII classes and approximately two-fifths of the Grade VIII students were retained in the elementary schools to relieve the congestion in the junior-senior high school. The question of reconstruction of the Bridgeport School was given attention. This is a very old structure in poor condition. It has been surveyed by the Department Building Committee, and the Board has been given approval to carry out its reconstruction. During the school-year the R.C.A.F. carried out a new housing programme at the Sea Island air-base. It was anticipated that this will necessitate another two additional rooms to house the pupils from this source in September, 1951. To ease the situation, the Department of National Defence has agreed to turn over to the school district one wing of a station building which lends itself without excessive alteration to use as a four-room school unit. This will function in September as a primary unit for the Grade II and III pupils of Sea Island. The by-law to provide funds for a new junior-senior high school, which was defeated early in 1950, was resubmitted and received the assent of the ratepayers. It is hoped that the plans and specifications will be completed and approved at an early date so that actual construction may begin by the end of the summer. School District No. 73 (Alert Bay) The increase in logging activity necessitated the opening of a new school at Anutz Lake this year. At Port McNeill, because of lack of classroom space, the senior class continues to be housed in extremely poor quarters. A by-law to provide for new schools REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 73 at Alert Bay and Port McNeill and also needed teacherages in some localities was successful on its third presentation to the ratepayers. However, little progress has been made toward completion of the building programme because of the unsatisfactory condition of the bond market at the present time. In November the basement of the Alert Bay School was badly damaged by fire and the heating system destroyed. With minor repairs and individual heating units in each classroom, the classes were carried on without serious loss of school time. During the spring the necessary reconstruction was effected. The teachers concerned deserve commendation for their perseverance and patience in carrying on their teaching duties under these trying conditions. University Hill The regular school accommodation plus the use of a converted army hut at Acadia Camp provided for the slow increase in school population this year. It is expected that the annex will be moved this summer to the school-grounds. Work has started on the clearing of a new subdivision in this area, and it is anticipated that it will be opened to the public within the next two years. This will mean provision of enlarged school facilities for the future, probably 1954. General The dental clinic established in the Richmond District in the school-year 1949-50 has proved a great boon in so far as the dental health of the children is concerned. Treatment has been completed in Grades I, II, III, and in the greater part of Grade IV in the short time the service has been available. Dr. A. M. Menzies, Richmond Medical Health Officer, in his annual report states as follows: " As stated in Dr. Deverall's remarks, there has been a marked improvement in the dental health of Richmond schoolchildren, and she is to be congratulated in accomplishing so much in such a short period of time." The teacher-supply continues to be good, with the exception of the specialist instructors. No difficulty was experienced in staffing schools this past year. The usual sympathetic co-operation was received from the Deputy Minister and his Department officials throughout the year, and is herewith acknowledged. Appreciation is also extended to all teachers and School Boards and their officials for their work in the interests of the children. School Districts No. 69 (Qualicum) and No. 70 (Alberni), and Unattached School Districts at Bamfield, Esperanza, Kildonan, Kyuquot, Sarita River, Sydney Inlet, Tahsis River, Tofino, Ucluelet, and Zeballos. REPORT OF C. L. CAMPBELL, M.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS In this inspectorate there were employed 142 teachers teaching in thirty-six schools. The largest school was a senior-junior high school with a staff of thirty-five, while the smallest was a one-teacher school enrolling eight pupils. School District No. 69 (Qualicum) The big event of the year in this district was the passing, on the third attempt, of a school by-law to provide a new senior high school and a new junior high school. Overcrowding became so acute this year that eight classes had to be put on a shift system, and it seems likely that this undesirable situation will continue until the new schools are constructed. K 74 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 A new and attractive two-room school was opened at Nanoose during the year, and a large number of children in this district are benefiting by being taught in their own district. This eliminates for them a long and tiresome bus trip to Parksville and Errington. School District No. 70 (Alberni) New school construction was key-noted this year in the Alberni Valley. A splendid eight-room elementary school was opened in September at Gill, and about mid-term the addition to the Alberni Elementary School was occupied. All eyes have been on the rapid progress being made on the new $900,000 senior-junior high school. It is almost certain that this building will be ready for occupancy in September, 1951, thus freeing the high-school children of the district from the old army huts in which they have been struggling for the last five years. Unattached Districts These schools are scattered along 150 miles of Vancouver Island's west coast. While several of them have grown to three- and four-teacher schools, the majority are still ungraded one-room schools and, in a number of cases, mail is only received at eight-day intervals. Under such circumstances it is difficult to obtain and keep teachers. A modern and attractive three-room school was opened in September at Ucluelet, but by June it was badly overcrowded, and plans are in hand to add an additional room. School Districts No. 37 (Delta), No. 47 (Powell River), and No. 74 (Quatsino) REPORT OF T. G. CARTER, M.C., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Delta During the year a new two-room school was opened at Sunbury and a two-room addition to the Boundary Bay School completed. The problem of insufficient accommodation in the North Delta area, however, remained acute, necessitating the use of considerable temporary space and the continuation of an arrangement with Surrey for a mutual interchange of pupils living along the border between the two municipalities. The severe overcrowding in the Delta Junior- Senior High School was met through provision of temporary classrooms in the basement of the near-by Ladner Elementary School. Throughout the year the School Board has been much concerned over the delay in solving the school needs of the district, and a by-law has been planned for presentation to the ratepayers next term. This by-law, it is anticipated, will supply reasonably adequate facilities for the steadily increasing school population. Powell River This year saw the completion of the million-dollar construction programme approved in June, 1948, thus bringing within reach the avowed goal of the School Board to provide modern buildings with ample equipment and, in so far as is possible, equal educational opportunity for all the children of the district. Owing to the limitations imposed by the first by-law, much still remains to be done, and a second by-law has been prepared for the ratification of the ratepayers in the early fall. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 75 QUATS1NO Local problems have delayed a proposed by-law covering the urgently needed new schools planned for Port Alice and Port Hardy. All difficulties have finally been surmounted, and it is anticipated that this by-law will be passed immediately after the reopening of school in September. Generally, the year has been one of steady progress throughout my inspectorate. Teaching staffs have been strengthened and working conditions improved. Several teacherages have been built, thus assuring suitable living-quarters where such have not heretofore existed. In conclusion, I wish again to express my appreciation to the various School Boards and secretary-treasurers with whom I have been associated. These have continued their loyal and enthusiastic co-operation in the discharge of the responsibilities delegated to them. School Districts No. 42 (Maple Ridge) and No. 75 (Mission) REPORT OF J. CHELL, M.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS This is a new inspectorate made up of District No. 42 (Maple Ridge), formerly inspected from the New Westminster office by Mr. C. J. Frederickson, and District No. 75 (Mission), previously inspected from Abbotsford office by Mr. B. Thorsteinsson. It is a privilege to follow these men in office. School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge) This rapidly growing district is severely handicapped by the lack of buildings. The Board of School Trustees has given much thought to this and submitted a by-law in June, 1951. This by-law received the approval of the ratepayers, and it is hoped that construction will not be too long delayed, as many classrooms are very overcrowded. A successful in-service class for teachers was conducted. Eighteen teachers took advantage of the opportunity to further their professional training, and there was much evidence of the value of the course in the classrooms of the district. Principals met regularly, and while the discussion was informal, the exchange of ideas and the formulation of policy on many routine matters has been helpful. In September, 1950, a one-room school was opened at the head of Pitt Lake. The enrolment at present is small, but the school serves the needs of the community. School District No. 75 (Mission) On November 13th, 1950, a new one-room school was officially opened at Hatzic Prairie by Mr. H. S. Hum, representing the Department of Education. This building replaces one lost in the disastrous Fraser River flood of 1948. On January 10th, 1951, a new four-room school was formally opened by the Minister of Education, the Honourable W. T. Straith. This school, named Edwin S. Richards Elementary School, is already filled to capacity. In June, 1951, the contract was placed for the new junior- senior high school in Mission. This building is urgently needed; the only regret is that the period of rising prices has forced the Board to cut off some of the space originally intended. There is an expanding night-school programme in operation. k 76 public schools report, 1950-51 General Remarks Health service in this inspectorate is provided by the North Fraser Valley Health Unit. Arrangements have been completed to augment this work with a full-time dentist serving the two districts. Teacher-supply has been adequate, though some specialist categories are hard to fill. Related activities have been organized and well received. It is pleasing to note the growing interest in Junior Red Cross, drama, music, and athletics. The graduation exercises in both districts were truly grand affairs and reflect highly on the schools concerned. It is a pleasure and a privilege to acknowledge the unselfish and conscientious contribution of trustees, and to express appreciation to them and the secretary-treasurers for the friendly and co-operative relationships of the past year. School Districts No. 12 (Grand Forks), No. 13 (Kettle Valley), and No. 14 (Southern Okanagan) REPORT OF C. E. CLAY, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS This school-year saw a change in the districts included in this inspectorate. School District No. 9 (Castlegar) was transferred to a new inspectorate, under Mr. J. McKenzie, while School District No. 14 (Southern Okanagan) was added to my territory. The change has given me an opportunity to spend more time in the schools. During the year a concerted effort to improve the reading at all levels has been carried out. Grades III to XII were tested in all the large schools. A complete diagnostic and remedial programme was followed, with very good results. It is hoped that a similar programme can be followed in the small rural schools next year. In this, as well as in my other work, I have had the full co-operation of Boards, principals, and teachers. I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation to them. School District No. 12 (Grand Forks) For the first time in several years the schools here had an opportunity of functioning adequately. While the industrial-arts programme has not been carried out in full, because of lack of equipment, sufficient classroom space and other factors have made this a very successful year. The importance of the new building as a community centre is being more fully realized. It is being used more and more for out-of-school functions. Night-school classes were held in book-keeping, typing, sewing, and woodwork. The closing of the smaller schools and transporting the pupils to the larger school has proven beneficial. The increased number of pupils who are carrying on with secondary education is quite noticeable. This is particularly true of the Doukhobors. School District No. 13 (Kettle Valley) The accommodation in the City of Greenwood is not yet improved. A by-law is now being prepared for a school that will serve the elementary pupils of Greenwood and the high-school pupils in the district from Anarchist Mountain to Greenwood. Staffing the schools of this district is still a problem, although conditions were improved this year. Tribute should be paid to the excellent work done in this district by the public health nurse, Miss Dorothy Newman. She has been untiring in promoting good health throughout the district. Like other districts, this was hit by the influenza epidemic in the late winter and the attendance suffered severely. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 77 School District No. 14 (Southern Okanagan) There were 155 who took advantage of the night-school classes. During the year several D.P.'s came to this district, and two classes in English were held for adults and one special class was held for pupils of school age. The cafeteria was put into operation in the Southern Okanagan Junior-Senior High School, and has been a boon to those who have lunch at school. It not only serves the junior-senior high school, but Oliver Elementary School as well. School Districts No. 53 (Terrace), No. 54 (Smithers), and No. 55 (Burns Lake) REPORT OF H. C. FERGUSON, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS The reorganization of inspectorates effected at the beginning of the current school- year reduced by one the number of districts in this administrative area. Thirty-one schools staffed by seventy teachers provided elementary and secondary education for the 1,800 school-age children. This year saw the completion of most building projects authorized in recent by-laws. In District No. 53 (Terrace), the Terrace Elementary School was moved to the new ten-room building completed during the summer. The high school was established in the building vacated by the elementary grades. Considerable maintenance work was done at Usk, Kitwanga, South and New Hazelton, as well as at Four Mile. As a result of the co-operation of the Federal and Provincial authorities, the Board of School Trustees of District No. 53, and the ratepayers of the Hazelton attendance area, a new six-room senior high-elementary school was opened at Hazelton. In District No. 54 (Smithers) the new buildings at Telkwa, Houston, and Smithers High School were in operation. The opening of Industrial Arts and Home Economics classes at Smithers introduced a new era in the educational life of this community. By using transportation, the children from Telkwa, Driftwood, and Glentanna were able to avail themselves of these classes. The extensive building programme in District No. 55 (Burns Lake) was completed. New buildings at Rose Lake, Burns Lake, Babine Lake, Francois Lake, Grassy Plains, Cheslatta, Ootsa Lake, and Wistaria were occupied. Reconstructions or additions were made at Topley, Decker Lake, and Burns Lake Elementary Schools. Generally, accommodation in all districts is now well up to standard and adequate for immediate requirements. Commendation is deserved by Boards for their interest and effort in providing school plants which compare very favourably with others in the Province. Special mention should be made of the co-operation of the teaching staffs, who, in spite of unavoidable interruptions during the construction period, carried out their duties and responsibilities so capably. Effective use was made of transportation in all districts. Ten district-owned buses and five contractual agreements permitted Boards to provide greater educational opportunity for many children living in the more remote areas. In administering to the educational needs of this inspectorate, the following activities were carried out. Teachers' institutes were held in all districts during the months of September and May. Teachers attended the annual fall convention held at Prince George in November. A May meeting of primary-section teachers was held at Smithers for purposes of hearing lectures given by Mrs. T. Gregg, of W. J. Gage & Company, on " Methods in Primary K 78 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Reading." Throughout the year monthly bulletins dealing with administrative and professional topics were sent to all schools. All teachers participated in both Departmental and district testing programmes. Mental-maturity tests were given to all new pupils and those not tested within the past four years. The Metropolitan Achievement Test was used in Grades I to VIII, while the Co-operative English Tests were administered in Grades IX to XII. During classroom visitations, tests in arithmetic fundamentals, English usage, spelling, health, and social studies ability were given at appropriate grade levels. At the time of final inspections, written reports were prepared on all learning situations. Sports-meets were held in all districts at the end of the school term. A very successful interdistrict sports-day was well attended at Hazelton. Although no drama festival was organized, several schools held their own " drama night," while still others prepared pupils in drama, music, and folk-dancing for participation in local talent quests or the Prince Rupert Festival held in May. Almost all schools participated in the activities of the Junior Red Cross. The contribution of the following to the educational life of this area is not to be overlooked:— (a) The Public Library Commission, through its Prince George office, for a very valuable service to the small schools and communities: (b) The Public Health Service for its work among pre-school and school-age children: (c) The Social Service Branch for its interest in and care of the less fortunate: (d) The Parent-Teacher Association for its generous gifts of much needed school equipment. In closing, may I state my pleasure at having the opportunity of working with Boards, secretaries, principals, and teachers in these districts during the past year. To these and to members of the Department at Victoria, for their co-operation and assistance, I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation. School Districts No. 43 (Coquitlam) and No. 46 (Sechelt) REPORT OF C. J. FREDERICKSON, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) The school-year 1950-51 was one of constantly expanding school population, and it was necessary to extend the part-time or " shift " classes to over 1,000 children. This increase was exactly in line with the forecasts made five years ago. In April additional " shift " classes were made necessary in the elementary schools and even in the Coquitlam Junior-Senior High School to accommodate over 700 children who had previously attended the Catholic Parochial Schools. The ambitious building programme, providing over sixty-five classrooms, was well started by the summer of 1950, so that the end of " shift " classes was in sight by June. The losses which are due to several years of part-time education are difficult to measure. Testing revealed that the loss in the skill subjects was not great, but there can be little doubt that the loss in desirable-habit formation and in appreciations and attitudes was regrettable. Plans were made by the School Board in conjunction with the newly established Simon Fraser Health Unit to employ a full-time dentist for preventive dentistry. His office and headquarters will be located in one of the schools. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 79 The pressure of population from Vancouver, the establishment of large military depots, and the promise of new industries will bring new problems of school accommodation to this district. There is every indication that additional building will have to be provided in the near future. School District No. 46 (Sechelt) In August of 1950 School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge) was taken from my inspectorate and added to Mr. Chell's new district, with headquarters in Mission. I then took over School District No. 46 from Colonel Burnett. Geographically, School District No. 46 covers an exceedingly large area. While the number of classrooms is not large, recent developments promise a rapidly expanding school population. The old paper-mill at Port Mellon, long closed, was purchased by the Canadian Forest Products, and reconstruction and addition were started immediately. Construction of a road between Gibsons and Port Mellon was commenced. As this road will make it possible for employees of the paper-mill to reside in Gibsons, both communities will see considerable growth. The commencement of a car-ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Gibsons, with ultimate service to Powell River, will bring the Seechelt Peninsula within easy reach of both Powell River and Vancouver. This development will, unquestionably, result in a rapidly expanding school population. The school-year saw the completion of two new Quonset schools—a one-room school at Nelson Island and a two-room school at Egmont. It also saw the completion of a frame two-room school at Roberts Creek and the commencement of a four-room superior school at Madiera Park, an eight-room high school at Gibsons, and additions to the Sechelt School. During the school-year it was my privilege to have been associated with the training of teachers of Vocational Agriculture and, to a slight extent, with the supervision of these teachers. Unfortunately, time and circumstances did not permit me to visit any but a very few of the established or new centres where this subject is now being taught. I feel happy, however, in having had any part of this exceedingly important development and feel confident that the teaching of practical agriculture in our secondary schools will make a great contribution to this Province and to Canada. I also feel that it will require constant and sympathetic nurturing to bring the fruits of this subject to a ripened condition. It may soon be realized that there is plenty of room for both the traditional academic programme and the newer concepts of vocational education in our secondary schools. School Districts No. 49 (Ocean Falls), No. 51 (Portland Canal), and No. 52 (Prince Rupert), and Unattached School District at Butedale REPORT OF G. W. GRAHAM, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Throughout this inspectorate, teaching staffs and School Boards are making a fine contribution toward maintaining a good standard of education. Unfortunately, because of the lack of an instructor, Ocean Falls had to omit Industrial Arts from its programme for the year. A new vocational course in fishing has been initiated in the Prince Rupert High School. It is hoped that this will prove popular and beneficial in this locality. The school population shows a steady increase, and school accommodation problems are being adequately met. K 80 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Ocean Falls operates seven schools, employing twenty-three teachers. A new addition of four classrooms, Industrial Arts unit, and gymnasium has been completed at the Ocean Falls High School, and will be ready for use this fall. Existing schools throughout this area are well maintained. By purchase of a teacherage at Hagehsborg, the School Board now has available living accommodation for all teachers in the Bella Coola Valley. Through the initiative of the Parent-Teacher Association, the schoolchildren received the benefits of the Health Department's dental clinic this year. This needed service was greatly appreciated by residents of this area. Portland Canal School Board operates three schools, employing five teachers. Fluctuation of population creates its problems in this area. Alice Arm School has been located on the site of the Torbrit Silver Mines. A one-room school was reopened at Premier Mines. An increase in enrolment has allowed for the employment of a third teacher at Stewart Superior School. No new building has been undertaken, but needed maintenance and improvement of older buildings are being carried out. In the Prince Rupert district there are eight schools operating, with fifty-one teachers employed. This year's construction includes an addition of three classrooms, Industrial Arts and Home Economics units, and a gymnasium to the Booth Memorial High School. A new eleven-room elementary building, replacing the former King Edward School, will be completed in September. Other schools in this district are kept in good repair, but new accommodation is now needed at Port Edward. The death of Alex Charleson, of Ocean Falls, was deeply regretted. Mr. Charleson has given a decade of good service to the schools of District No. 49. May I thank the principals and their staffs, the School Boards and secretary- treasurers of these districts for their co-operation and the friendly relationships I have enjoyed. School Districts No. 33 (Chilliwack) and No. 76 (Agassiz) REPORT OF S. J. GRAHAM, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS School District No. 33 (Chilliwack) One hundred and thirty-one teachers were employed during the year to teach 3,780 pupils enrolled in the fifteen schools comprising the district. The enrolment in the senior high school was slightly down from the previous year, due to the attendance of senior students from the Yarrow district at a private school. The total enrolment of pupils throughout the district was substantially greater than the previous year. The extensive building programme of the district was continued, with the letting of contracts for an activity-room at the Sardis School, for a gymnasium at the senior high school, and for two-room schools at Fairfield Island and Cheam. The transportation of pupils to school has developed into a matter of major importance in the district. Nine hundred junior-senior high-school students, representing 64 per cent of the total high-school enrolment, use the bus system, and over 800 elementary pupils, or 35 per cent of the total elementary-school enrolment, are carried on the buses. The Provincial public health unit continued to give valuable service to the schools of the area. The district was fortunate in securing the service of a dentist for the coming year. The schools generally made satisfactory progress during the year. Much emphasis was placed upon developing learning habits in the elementary schools. Monthly meetings REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 81 of the principals and of the primary-division teachers were held. Upon several occasions we were able to have competent educators visit us to lead discussions at these meetings. The principals of the district developed an extensive testing programme which, when used in conjunction with the Provincial programme, provided useful assistance in the supervision of the classroom work in the elementary schools. I would again like to acknowledge the helpful co-operation of the members of the district School Boards and the officials of the Department of Education. School District No. 76 (Agassiz) Four hundred and sixty-two pupils attended the three schools in this district. Eighteen teachers were employed during the year. Lack of continuity in staff and difficulty in securing teachers for all subjects again hampered the work of the Agassiz High School. However, some improvement was noted over past years, and it is anticipated that with improved working conditions the staffing of the high school will offer less of a problem. In April of this year the ratepayers of District No. 76 gave a substantial vote of approval to a by-law to build a new elementary-high school in Agassiz and to improve and increase accommodation at Harrison Hot Springs and Harrison Mills. Unfortunately, construction of the Agassiz School could not be commenced this year, but as the accommodation at Agassiz must be as critical as that found anywhere in the Province, it is hoped that an early start may be made on the new building. It was possible to provide a more generous issue of equipment and teaching supplies this year, but an even greater standard of supply must be achieved if this district's schools are to offer the educational opportunity which is expected of them. School Districts No. 32 (Fraser Canyon) and No. 34 (Abbotsford) REPORT OF WILLIAM H. GRANT, B.S.A., B.Ed. Under the reorganization of inspectorates effected a year ago, this new inspectorate, comprising the somewhat attenuated and relatively sparsely settled Fraser Canyon School District and the compact and thickly settled Abbotsford School District, was created. Because of the distinctly different natures of each district, the problems of each are different. School District No. 32 (Fraser Canyon) During the school-year just passed, good progress has been made in the building programme that had been initiated previously. The final wing to the Hope Elementary- High School plant is under way, with good progress being made to date. The careful scrutiny and amendment of plans leading up to this should, when the building is completed, result in a highly functional plant adequate to meet the needs of the district for some time to come. Due to excessively high costs encountered in the fall of 1950, it became necessary to revise the original plan of the Boston Bar Elementary School, which necessitated the postponement of building until the spring of 1951. Construction is at present under way. This building will replace temporary quarters at present in use, and indications are that it may have to be enlarged within two years. The St. Elmo School at Laidlaw has been completely modernized by the addition of a small wing to house a central heating plant and indoor lavatories. The building has also been painted. K 82 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Elsewhere in the district a strong policy of maintenance is gradually bringing all school buildings into a high state of repair and adding considerably to their functional qualities. All schools were staffed during the year with teachers having the basic qualifications or better. The Provincial testing programme, supplemented by a district programme co-operatively carried out by the teaching staff, and augmented by personal observations, indicates that a sound educational programme is developing well in the district. During the year the Board of School Trustees has operated harmoniously, and has co-operated interestedly and enthusiastically with the secretary-treasurer and the Department of Education in establishing and stabilizing the educational programme in the district. School District No. 34 (Abbotsford) The main problem in this district continues to be the provision of adequate and suitable space to house the increasing number of children that are appearing in the schools. At present all available space is being utilized. Approximately 33 per cent of the pupils are in temporary quarters, besides having six divisions running on a double shift. In December, 1950, the ratepayers, by a fine majority, authorized a building programme to add thirteen elementary classrooms and an eighteen-room junior high school to the system. Restrictions on building and credit have prevented proceeding with the latter, but progress on the thirteen elementary rooms is such as to indicate they will be ready for occupancy in September. The generosity of the Dominion Government in allowing the use of the buildings at the Abbotsford Airport is the only factor which has prevented even further constriction of the programme. At best, the new buildings will simply replace some of the temporary quarters now in use. Despite the inconvenience and the overcrowding caused by lack of space, an adequate and broad educational programme for the district has been carried out. The policy of the Board of Trustees in establishing schools eventually in every community within easy walking distance for elementary-school children, and to establish secondary schools at central points, together with a vigorous programme of improvement and maintenance of existing buildings, has gained for them the confidence of the ratepayers. The excellent relationships already existing between the Board and teaching staff have been maintained throughout the year, and have resulted in the maintenance and elaboration of the fine educational programme already established. Two events of outstanding merit, organized and executed almost entirely by the teaching staff, were the school musical festival and the educational display in lieu of Education Week programme. In these they had the support of the Parent-Teacher Association and other organizations, as well as the interest of the public in large numbers. Conclusion In conclusion, I wish to extend by thanks to the Board of Trustees and teaching staffs, and the secretary-treasurers for the unstinted support I have received from them, and for their patience and understanding in this first year of my work in these districts. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 83 School Districts No. 6 (Kootenay Lake), No. 7 (Nelson), and No. 8 (Slocan) REPORT OF E. E. HYNDMAN, B.A., B.P^d., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS School District No. 6 (Kootenay Lake) The seven scattered schools in this district were ably staffed, employing the same number of teachers as in the previous year. During this year the development of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company project at Riondel has proceeded rapidly and an additional teacher has been employed. Increased mining activity in Kaslo has brought increases in the school population there and has made necessary the employment of one additional teacher. The opening of the road between Kaslo and Lardeau is likely to bring an increased population in this portion of the school district. The schools at Ainsworth and Retallack are overcrowded. Faced with the unprecedented development in all parts of the district, the Board is preparing a building programme for submission to the ratepayers during the next school-year. School District No. 7 (Nelson) Eighty-one teachers were employed in fourteen schools of this district during the past year. The new classrooms at the Salmo High School and Willow Point were completed for occupancy in September. An additional division was opened in the Nelson Hume School. One division was closed at Sheep Creek owing to a shift in the school population. At the present time, classrooms are being constructed at Remac and Emerald. The bringing of several exceptionally large-tonnage mines into production in the Salmo area is taxing school facilities to the utmost and will, without doubt, require a reconsideration of the over-all school programme. This programme should include additional classrooms for the Salmo Elementary School, the Salmo High School, as well as a new high-school building in the City of Nelson. School District No. 8 (Slocan) Thirty-one teachers were employed in the seventeen schools of this district. The new secondary schools were opened in New Denver, Slocan City, and South Slocan, and Board-owned bus units provide transportation to pupils from Grades VII to XII in the area between Hunter Siding and South Slocan. The official openings of these schools by the Honourable Minister of Education were most successful, and the pride of these ratepayers in the school system of this valley was much in evidence. The practical demonstration of interest by the ratepayers of the South Slocan area, who, with work- parties over several months, installed a $10,000 water system, levelled, surfaced, and seeded the spacious grounds, is something long to be remembered. An additional classroom is being added to each of the three secondary schools at the present time and will be ready for occupancy in September. Mining activity in Sandon has made necessary the opening of a second division there. General The administration of school affairs in these three districts has much improved during the last school-year. Each one of the three secretary-treasurers appointed last year has more than justified his selection and has brought increased efficiency to the administration. Teacher selection reflects the improved condition in the Province. The number of teachers with temporary certificates was reduced from twelve to three during the last year. Experience in these areas indicates that the quality of young secondary teachers entering the profession is particularly commendable. K 84 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 The Senior Matriculation and University Entrance Examination results this year are indicative of a high standard in this area. Clayton Thomas Crowe, from the small high school at Salmo, won the district University Entrance scholarship. The three School Boards in these districts are giving very fine service in the public interest. The hours of well-planned effort are producing good public relations and efficiency in the educational pattern. I am indebted to the School Boards, the secretary- treasurers, the principals, and the teachers for another year of whole-hearted co-operation. School Districts No. 3 (Kimberley), No. 4 (Windermere), and No. 18 (Golden) REPORT OF I. H. R. JEFFERY, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS This inspectorate, with headquarters at Kimberley, embraces the Kimberley, Windermere, and Golden School Districts. In Kimberley School District, the Marysville Elementary School, the A. A. Watkins Elementary School, and the addition to the P. J. McKim Junior-Senior High School were formally opened by the Honourable W. T. Straith, Minister of Education, accompanied by the Deputy Minister and Superintendent of Education, Dr. F. T. Fairey. Provision of the three modern new structures in the district showed forethought. Because of primary- grade congestion at Marysville Elementary School, a fourth division was placed in the spare classroom in January. The loss by fire of the three-room Chapman Camp Elementary School in February necessitated the transfer of pupils to the lunchroom annex of the A. A. Watkins Elementary School. At the present time all elementary-school classrooms are required. A Kimberley City population survey early in the school-year indicated a gradual increase in elementary-school attendance during the next five years. Announced industrial expansion infers a further population increase. The local school authority is alert to the need and intends to extend its building programme as needed when sanction is granted. In Windermere School District three new school buildings of modern design wer6 opened for use during the school-year. New one-room structures housed their first pupils at Brisco and at Windermere in December and April respectively. In January a two- room senior high-school section of the Invermere Elementary-Senior High School was occupied. This new structure, with the accompanying facilities for secondary education, is performing a needed function in the part of the district that is served by school-bus transportation. The School Board conducted formal school openings at Brisco and Invermere. In Golden School District there appears to be a growing realization of the great need for better facilities in each of the seven schools of the area. The School Board is becoming increasingly progressive in the desire for material improvement when finances permit. At the Lady Grey Elementary-Senior High School at Golden, enrolment congestion in the primary grades resulted in the opening of an additional division in January. The adoption of Mountain Standard time throughout the year in School Districts No. 3 and No. 4 and in part of School District No. 18, together with poor day-time radio reception, except from the Kimberley booster station in the immediate district, interferes with the use of school radio broadcasts. Windermere School Board recently provided a portable sound-projection unit for audio-visual education in their five electrified schools of a total of seven. Kimberley School Board is arranging to provide similar equipment for its elementary schools. A larger unit is in use in the secondary school. Both Boards encourage teacher- REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 85 committee organization for audio-visual education. Golden School Board houses a unit at Field and at Golden in the only electrified schools of the district. There is an extreme shortage of fluency-building and experience-providing supplementary reading materials in the rural sections of the inspectorate. School Boards have indicated their realization and co-operation by a promise of increased provision according to financial ability. All schools in the inspectorate administer the Provincial survey tests. In addition, the Inspector's Office organizes a minimum testing programme as a teaching aid. I should like to express my gratitude for the courtesy and co-operation extended to me by district personnel during my first year in this inspectorate. This includes trustees, school representatives, secretary-treasurers, teachers, and student-bodies. I appreciate the whole-hearted leadership and guidance of the officials in the Department of Education. School Districts No. 1 (Fernie) and No. 2 (Cranbrook) REPORT OF F. P. LEVIRS, M.A., M.S.(Ed.), INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Sharp increases in the elementary and junior high school enrolments were again noticeable in School District No. 2, with slighter increases in School District No. 1. There is a further trend toward concentration of population in the larger centres, with the rural-school enrolments remaining stationary or decreasing slightly. Fernie, Elko, and Cranbrook all added to their teaching staffs in September and the Home Economics centre at Michel-Natal Elementary-Senior High School was reopened. Cranbrook's school system was reorganized from an 8-4 to a 6-6 basis as the necessary accommodation became available. The event of the year was the opening of the new Mount Baker Junior-Senior High School by the Honourable the Minister of Education in April. Miss McNay, of Fernie, brought credit to her school and district by winning the Provincial competition in public speaking sponsored by the Knights of Pythias. The School Drama Festival, with ten entries from five secondary schools, was outstanding this year in the enthusiasm shown both by participants and spectators. In addition to the testing programme carried out by the Division of Tests, Standards, and Research, a series of tests in spelling was administered through the teachers to pupils in Grades VII to IX, and in arithmetic to pupils in Grades III to V. These tests are designed as aids in teaching rather than for purposes of classification. Some assistance was also given to teachers in the smaller schools in their standardized testing programme. Meetings of the principals and vice-principals of the larger schools have been held at regular intervals throughout the year. These meetings prove most useful in the discussion of common problems of supervision and administration and in establishing common policies throughout the East Kootenay in routine administration. School Board members continue to devote their time and energy to school affairs. They deserve great credit, not only for their unselfish efforts, but also for the efficiency with which they have maintained high standards of facilities in the face of rising costs. K 86 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 School District No. 11 (Trail) REPORT OF W. E. LUCAS, B.A., B.P^d., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Since September 1st, 1950, this inspectorate has comprised School District No. 11 (Trail). The educational highlight of the year was the opening of the new junior-senior high school in Rossland. Built at a cost of $973,021, this new school provides all of the physical facilities for the carrying-out of a progressive school programme at the secondary level and is an institution of which the citizens of Rossland and of the entire district are justly proud. The three-storied classroom wing contains eleven standard classrooms, two social- studies rooms, a music-room, an art-room, a typing-room, and two general-science rooms. It also includes a chemistry laboratory and a physics-biology laboratory. The administration suite comprises the general office, principal's and vice-principal's offices, two counsellors' rooms, one staff-room, a student-council room, and a medical room. An activity-room, complete with stage and dressing-rooms, has a seating capacity for 670 people. It has a flat floor and will serve as a second gymnasium when the regular gymnasium is in use. The two-storied wing of the building contains the combined lunchroom-study hall; separate rooms for woodwork, metalwork, draughting, sewing, and food preparation; and an excellent gymnasium complete with bleachers, showers, and change-rooms. The formal opening of the school took place June 22nd, 1951. Dr. F. T. Fairey, Deputy Minister and Superintendent of Education, gave the address of the evening. Other speakers on the programme were Mayor J. R. Corner of the City of Rossland; Dr. R. W. Diamond, general manager and vice-president of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company; the Honourable A. D. Turnbull, Minister of Health and Welfare and member of the Legislative Assembly for Rossland-Trail; Mr. Arthur Turner of the School Board; and Mr. D. G. Chamberlain, supervising principal of the Rossland Junior- Senior High School. Mr. T. H. Weldon, Chairman of the Board of School Trustees, presided, accompanied by all members of the Board. In addition to the Rossland Junior-Senior High School, other buildings are under construction. A new senior high school for Trail will be ready for occupancy in September of this year, and a substantial addition to the East Trail Elementary School will be completed by the same time. No great difficulty was experienced this year in filling vacancies on the teaching staff. Approximately fifty teachers from a large list of applicants were appointed to the staff, which now consists of 150 teachers. All schools in the district were well organized, and the learning situation on the whole was good. A high standard of academic achievement has been maintained, and plenty of opportunity for participation in the fine arts was in evidence in all schools. A class of non-English-speaking children was established during the year to assist new Canadians to adjust themselves to their changed environment. This class proved of great value in this respect. An extensive testing programme was carried out in all elementary schools of the district. The chief reason for this survey was to identify remedial cases and to attempt to do something for them. A successful night-school was operated from October to April. Courses in Political Science, Psychology, Elementary English, Home Building and Repair, Woodwork, Draughting, Electricity, Leather Work, Industrial Electronics, Dressmaking, Public Speaking, Dramatics, and Motor Mechanics were offered to some 300 interested adults. During the year two members of the teaching staff were granted superannuation- Mrs. Laura J. Morrish, principal of the East Trail Elementary School, and Miss Ella G. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 87 Martin, Commercial teacher in the Rossland Junior-Senior High School. Both are to be highly commended for their many years of loyal and efficient service in the cause of education in this Province. Tribute is also paid to Mr. J. Lloyd Crowe, who retired from the Board of School Trustees in December, 1950. Mr. Crowe has been a trustee for many years and Chairman of the Board of School District No. 11 since its inception in 1946. He has made a valuable contribution to education in the Trail district. It was fitting that this year's Board of School Trustees named the new senior high school in his honour. The School Board, through its Maintenance Department, has continued to do excellent work in modernizing and improving the older buildings. This has been especially true of MacLean Elementary School in Rossland and of the rural schools at Casino and Beaver Falls. Dr. L. S. Anderson was appointed in November, 1950, as director of the newly formed West Kootenay Health Unit, and the health programme has been well conducted by the director and his staff of five nurses and one sanitarian. The immunization status has been kept at a high level, with approximately 90 per cent of the children immunized against diphtheria and smallpox. As a result of a request by the Board of School Trustees for a preventive dental service, a children's dentist may be added to the health unit staff in 1952. In conclusion, I should like to express my appreciation for the co-operation and help which I have received during the year from the Department of Education, from the School Board and its secretary-treasurer, and from the principals and teachers of School District No. 11. School Districts No. 24 (Kamloops) and No. 31 (Merritt) REPORT OF H. McARTHUR, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS School District No. 24 (Kamloops) School population rose by 212 during the year. But the expansion in enrolment was less noteworthy than that in accommodation. New modern buildings were completed and opened at Valleyview, Monte Lake, and Westsyde. The reconstruction of the Chase building was finished. The Savona building was moved to a new site and modernized, and a very satisfactory teacherage was provided. New buildings have been almost completed at Westwold and North Kamloops. Construction has begun on the new junior-senior high school and dormitory in Kamloops. A small temporary building was erected by a logging company at Scuitto Lake, and a new school was opened there in November. The bringing to partial completion of plans that have been under discussion for so long is a source of much gratification to the Kamloops Board, which has been wrestling patiently with accommodation problems ever since School District No. 24 was formed. It is clear that, except in isolated districts where road conditions forbid transportation of pupils, the eight-grade one-room school will soon disappear in this district. A further step toward its elimination was taken in April, when, on the urgent request of Savona parents, a bus was provided to convey the Savona pupils of Grades VII and VIII, as well as of higher grades, to Kamloops. The rejection of the annual budget by both the rural representatives and the Kamloops City Council led to arbitration proceedings, the result of which was a reduction in the budget of approximately $25,000. This reduction made it necessary for the K 88 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Board to postpone till next year the erection of a two-room modern building at Heffley Creek, where the enrolment has become too large for one teacher. Lack of accommodation finally forced the Board to institute the shift system last September in the Kamloops Junior-Senior High School and in the North Kamloops Elementary School. Parents and teachers have been relieved to learn that a return to regular hours will probably be possible next term. School District No. 31 (Merritt) A noteworthy feature of this district is the concentration of the school population in and near the Municipality of Merritt. This year only two rural schools were open— one at Brookmere and one at Mamette Lake. However, a new modern one-room building has almost been completed at Douglas Lake, where there has been a demand for school facilities for several years. The rising enrolment in the Mamette Lake area made necessary the purchase of a new bus. The realization that the school programme was far too restricted and that enrolment was increasing, caused the Board to plan an addition to the Merritt Elementary-Senior High School building. One classroom as the first unit of this addition will be constructed immediately. Other units, including rooms for Home Economics and Industrial Arts, will follow. Parents were happy to learn at the beginning of the year that the Board had finally been able to institute nursing services in the district. In both districts the trustees are conscientious, energetic, and progressive. It is heartening to proponents of the democratic ideal to realize that men and women will v/ork so hard and so long for the public good without any financial remuneration. School Districts No. 5 (Creston), No. 9 (Castlegar), and No. 10 (Arrow Lakes) REPORT OF J. J. McKENZIE, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS This inspectorate comprises School District No. 5 (Creston) with fifty-six teachers, School District No. 9 (Castlegar) with thirty-seven teachers, and School District No. 10 (Arrow Lakes) with nineteen teachers. Previous to this year each of these districts formed parts of other inspectorates. I would like to thank my predecessors—Inspectors Clay, Levirs, and Lucas—for the excellent condition in which each district was handed over to me. Most of the exacting work associated with new school-building programmes was completed when I took over. School District No. 5 (Creston) The building programme in this district is nearing completion. The reconstruction of the old building will be completed by school opening, and it is hoped that the new junior-senior high school will be ready for use. The new two-room school at Lister was ready for occupancy in September last and was officially opened by the Honourable W. T. Straith. This district has the assistance of a skilled maintenance supervisor and staff which keep the buildings in good physical condition. The junior-senior high school offers a wide variety of courses for the pupils of the district, who are taking advantage of this opportunity. Educational achievement, as shown by results, is satisfactory. A full programme of extra-curricular activities is carried out. :■:" "■■■■■■'■-. ■ ■■:':. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 89 The elementary schools functioned smoothly throughout the year under the leadership of a supervising principal. A very full testing programme for diagnostic and remedial purposes was carried out during the year as a prelude to a reorganization of the consolidated elementary school in September. The teaching of music throughout the district benefited from the services of a music supervisor. School District No. 9 (Castlegar) i The school accommodation situation in this district has been greatly eased by the completion of the new junior-senior high school, which was officially opened by the Honourable A. D. Turnbull. The use of a number of temporary halls and buildings was eliminated when the change-over was made in January. The new building will house approximately 350 secondary pupils and provide educational facilities commensurate with those in larger centres. The staff will be increased from five to fifteen. The first unit of the new elementary school and an addition to Kinnaird School are well on the road to completion, and it is hoped these will be ready for use in September. A considerable amount of renovation has been carried out in other buildings throughout the district. During the, past year, in the Kinnaird area, construction of new houses has increased greatly, as new subdivisions have been created. This rapid increase is continuing and will necessitate more school accommodation in the near future. With this in mind, the Board of Trustees has secured an additional school-site for future use. There is prospect of a pulp-mill in the Castlegar area, and this would create further problems of school accommodation and transportation should it be established. School District No. 10 (Arrow Lakes) The building programme in this district has been completed for the present, although the contemplated pupil increase in the Nakusp area will necessitate using one of the old buildings on the high-school grounds during the coming term. There are three secondary-school centres throughout the valley, but the limited enrolment in each curtails the programme which can be offered. The trustees, who are conscious of this limitation, look forward to the day when some form of consolidation can take place throughout the valley which will permit a broader programme to include Industrial Arts and Home Economics. Better roads are necessary before this could be considered. A good improvement in library facilities, wall-maps, and globes was made during the year. The Parent-Teacher Associations throughout the district did much to improve school-grounds and purchase equipment for the schools. General During the year each district has functioned successfully. This has been due in a very large measure to the fortunate choice of trustees and secretary-treasurers. All have given unsparingly of their time and energy to improve educational facilities in each district. A splendid spirit of co-operation existed between this office and the principals of schools of all districts. K 90 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 School Districts No. 25 (Barriere), No. 26 (Birch Island), No. 29 (Lillooet), and No. 30 (Ashcroft) REPORT OF F. A. McLELLAN, M.A., B.P^-d., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS School District No. 25 (Barriere) Some progress has been made toward the present over-all objective in this district, which is to provide high-school education for all the children in the district and to attain some co-ordination of the small scattered schools. A by-law was endorsed and a central three-room school is under construction. A one-room school was included in the by-law and has been completed in an area in which there was no school. With sufficient high-school students in the Chu Chua area to warrant transportation, another bus has been purchased and will serve a double purpose by relieving the district's only remaining overcrowded ungraded school of some of the elementary grades. School District No. 26 (Birch Island) This district has been concerned almost exclusively this year with the preparation, presentation, and passing of a by-law to construct a $100,000 elementary-high school at Clearwater to provide in part for the secondary needs of this district. The by-law was remarkable, in that it was supported by an 83-per-cent majority and enjoyed a favourable vote in all attendance areas but one. A contract for the construction of the new school has been let, and construction is proceeding satisfactorily. The plant should be in operation early in 1952. Contemporaneous with the opening of the new school at Clearwater will be the closing of several small worn-out one-room schools which have been in operation for from twenty to thirty years. The district is taking a keen interest and commendable pride in this forward step in the provision of educational facilities for the children of this area. School District No. 29 (Lillooet) The new schools at Bralorne, Lillooet, and Pavilion were occupied in September and were officially opened in November by the Honourable W. T. Straith, Minister of Education, and by Dr. F. T. Fairey, Deputy Minister. The introduction of Home Economics and Industrial Arts in the new consolidated schools at Bralorne and Lillooet filled a long-felt need in this district. Transportation difficulties at Shalalth were overcome by the purchase of a bus. Pupils from across the Fraser at Pavilion are now being brought to school by ferry and then by car. Bralorne won the sports' cup for the district this year, and the track team chosen from this meet was sent to Merritt, where it placed third. An automatic clock at Bralorne and a tape recorder at Lillooet were welcome equipment additions and were supplied through the help of the Parent-Teacher Association. School District No. 30 (Ashcroft) During the year 1950-51 this district has completed its extensive building programme. New four-room elementary-high schools were established at Ashcroft, Clinton, and Lytton. One-room schools at Big Bar and Foster Bar and two portable one-room schools at Green Lake were erected. New teacherages were built at Big Bar, Green Lake, and Foster Bar. After completion of the building programme, sufficient funds were available to establish courses in Home Economics and Industrial Arts at the Clinton and the Ashcroft REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 91 High-Elementary Schools. There has been a great need in the past for these practical courses in the large rural schools, and the district hopes to be able to establish these courses at the Lytton High-Elementary School within the next year. In the middle of the last school term it was found necessary to establish a temporary class at the Spences Bridge School to accommodate the increased number of high-school pupils. At the end of the school term it was found advisable to close this temporary classroom and to purchase a district-owned bus to transport these secondary pupils from Spences Bridge to the Lytton High-Elementary School, thus offering these pupils increased educational opportunities and eliminating the expense of building an additional room at Spences Bridge. Mention should be made of the success of the students and instructors from this district at the Central Mainland District Track and Field Meet. Here they attained first place in competition with Kamloops, Kamloops Rural, Lillooet, Merritt, and Birch Island districts. In concluding this report I wish to acknowledge with thanks the splendid co-operation shown by members of School Boards, secretary-treasurers, and teachers throughout the past year. The trustees in particular have given most generously of their time and effort in the solution of the many knotty educational problems which have confronted them. School Districts No. 59 (Peace River South) and No. 60 (Peace River North), and Unattached Schools at Atlin, Camp Mile 163, Camp Mile 300, Fort Nelson, Fort Nelson Airport, Lower Post, and Telegraph Creek. REPORT OF E. MARRIOTT, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Few of the log school-houses which characterized the pioneer stage of development in the Peace River area now remain. Their replacement with more modern and more attractive school buildings has paralleled the construction of modern homes and business blocks, a development which followed the completion of the Alaska Highway. As a result of the expanding farming community north of the Peace River, new schools were opened at Pine View, Nu-Point, and Mile 81. As thousands of acres of new land are being broken each year, the request for additional schools in this area will continue. During the past year the building programme of School District No. 59 progressed favourably. Outmoded buildings were replaced with modern one-room schools at Willow Valley, Upper Cutbank, Sunset Prairie, and East Pouce Coupe. The Dawson Creek Elementary School will be completed in the near future, and a start has been made on the new elementary school for Pouce Coupe. School District No. 60 faced unfortunate delays in starting construction of the new junior-senior high school for the north district due to rising building costs, but is now proceeding with the first unit of the building. Enrolment continued to increase in the larger centres, forcing the use of temporary classrooms. Some measure of relief is expected in Dawson Creek upon the completion of the new elementary school, but no final answer has been found for the situation at Fort St. John. The dormitories at both Fort St. John and Dawson Creek were filled to capacity during the year. Both districts plan additions to their dormitories to accommodate the increasing anticipated registration by rural students. K 92 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 The qualifications of the teachers employed in this area have improved steadily, and the need to employ teachers holding temporary certificates has almost passed. The improved classroom facilities and the better-trained teaching personnel have resulted in some improvement in the educational standards of this district. The unattached schools compare favourably in educational standards with the schools in the organized districts. Much needed equipment and library facilities were added to many of these schools during the year. The much appreciated assistance of Mr. C. T. Rendle, Inspector of Schools, made possible a closer supervision of the standard of instruction in the many small schools as well as the graded schools of this inspectorate. I would like to commend the sincere and fruitful efforts of the Boards of Trustees and their staffs in providing better educational facilities for the district. Their unselfish devotion to their duties and their willing acceptance of many responsibilities are indeed noteworthy. I wish also to thank the individual members of the School Boards, the secretary-treasurers, and the principals for their kind co-operation during the past year. School Districts No. 23 (Kelowna) and No. 77 (Summerland) REPORT OF A. S. MATHESON, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS In common with other parts of the Okanagan Valley, the area included with this inspectorate suffered a major economic set-back by reason of the severity of the winter of 1949-50, when winter-killing of fruit-trees assumed catastrophic proportions for the basic industry of the region. As a result, the heads of many families who depended for employment upon the fruit-growing and fruit-processing industries were forced to seek employment elsewhere and, in many cases, moved their families to other areas. Consequently, the rise in school enrolment, which had been continuous for the preceding six years, was halted and gradually reversed, so that the net enrolment for the school-year was 68 pupils fewer than in 1949—50, and the actual enrolment at the end of the spring term showed a further drop of about 125 pupils, most of whom were of families who had returned to the Prairie Provinces, from which they had been attracted to the Okanagan during the early post-war years. School District No. 23 (Kelowna) Most of the shrinkage in enrolment, noted above, occurred in this district. The net enrolment for the year was 4,061, and the teaching staff numbered 147. The acute labour shortage at apple-harvesting time created a very serious problem for the secondary schools. Because such a large percentage of the soft-fruit trees had been destroyed by the winter frosts, there was not enough employment throughout the spring and summer to attract and hold orchard labour. When the apple-crop was ready to harvest, the labour situation was so desperate that, in order to save the crop and protect the economy of all, it was necessary to release from classes all pupils who were able and willing to assist in the orchards. Thus hundreds of students were out of school from four to six weeks. Then in January and February an influenza epidemic caused further wholesale absence of both pupils and teachers. These two circumstances seriously retarded the progress of the pupils and markedly lowered their scholastic attainment. The demand for the assistance of the pupils in harvesting the fruit is almost certain to recur each autumn for several years, and the problem created is so serious that it demands attention at the highest administrative level to find a satisfactory solution. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 93 Progress in the elementary schools was marked by the opening of five new buildings and additions to two others. The new buildings are as follows:— (1) Martin Avenue, in the City of Kelowna—four classrooms, activity-room, etc.—built according to Standard Plan No. 12 of the Department of Education and proving very satisfactory. This relieves the long-standing overcrowding in the Kelowna Elementary School. (2) The Glenmore School, another four-classroom, Plan No. 12 school. The opening of this school restores to the Municipality of Glenmore a local elementary school after twenty-six years of consolidation with the Kelowna School. (3) Okanagan Mission—four classrooms, activity-lunch room, etc., replacing a building destroyed by fire. (4) Mission Creek—two classrooms, activity-lunch room, etc. replacing a building lost by fire. (5) South Kelowna—two classrooms, etc., replacing an old inadequate building. One of the classrooms in this building is designed to be a combined classroom and activity-lunch room. Each of these new buildings has an adequate kitchen, staffroom, and lavatories with full plumbing. Two fine modern classrooms were added at Winfield and one at Okanagan Centre. School District No. 77 (Summerland) This is a very compact district served by one elementary and one junior-senior high school. The teaching staff numbers 28 and the net enrolment for the year was 738, an increase of two pupils over the preceding year. Because of the circumstances noted in the opening paragraph of this report, it is unlikely that there will be any considerable increase in enrolment in the near future. A year ago an addition was made to the elementary school and the original building was renovated, both the exterior and the interior, to bring it into harmony with the addition. The result is a fine modern and functional building. This year the new junior-senior high-school building was completed and occupied in February. It is in every way a credit to the school district and to the Province as a whole. In September, in anticipation of the completion of this building, the 6—3—3 plan of organization replaced the former 8—4 plan. For the first five months of the year the work was carried on under severe handicaps because of the inadequacy of the facilities, but adjustments were quickly made when the new quarters were occupied. As indicated in former reports, the health services of this inspectorate are fully organized within the South Okanagan Health Unit, and excellent co-operation obtains between the schools and the health unit. I am deeply grateful to the members of the School Boards, who serve so faithfully and so unselfishly, the secretary-treasurers, the principals, and the members of the teaching staffs for their co-operation. Almost without exception they are all striving earnestly to promote the best interests of the pupils committed to their charge. I am also grateful to Inspector Rendle, who assisted me so capably during the month of February. K 94 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 School Districts No. 27 (Williams Lake) and No. 28 (Quesnel), and Unattached School at Chezacut REPORT OF W. J. MOUAT, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS This year the Cariboo area has shown the same marked tendency toward population increase that has characterized it for the past several years. Perhaps the greatest single contributing factor has been the expansion of the forest industries. Some of this growth has been of a nature that promises permanency. Some of it is because of an influx of small mills that may move again in a year or so. This has created serious problems for School Districts Nos. 27 and 28 with respect to accommodation and pupil transportation. Obsolete buildings have had to be reopened or retained in use and new bus routes have had to be established. Severe overcrowding has resulted in some instances. School District No. 27 (Williams Lake) The outstanding development in this district has been the preparation and approval of a comprehensive by-law which will improve rural-school facilities and make possible and available a more adequate secondary-school system. An important feature is the provision of a dormitory. The district is looking forward to implementing this programme in the coming year. It was particularly gratifying that the representatives took an active part in the various phases of the by-law preparation and presentation. School District No. 28 (Quesnel) School District No. 28 has made a very good beginning in the task of creating an adequate secondary-school system. The Board, secretary-treasurer, and staff of the Quesnel High School have worked together very well, and that school is well on its way to becoming a modern composite high school. In Wells the Board is reopening Industrial Arts and Home Economics centres and trying to offer an adequate high-school programme. This Board has been considering a building programme to provide for the rapid population growth and to replace obsolete rural schools. If the proposed by-law secures, the approval of the ratepayers, Quesnel School District should be able to improve its educational system still further and relieve its overcrowded schools. Chezacut School District Chezacut School was opened this year and is providing a needed service here. Its new school is quite modern, and the district has provided a serviceable teacherage. School Districts No. 50 (Queen Charlotte) and No. 68 (Nanaimo) REPORT OF WILLIAM A. PLENDERLEITH, M.A., D.P^d., F.R.S.A., F.C.P., A.M.R.S.T., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Staff and Enrolment During the school-year 1950-51 there were 7 teachers employed in School District No. 50 and 114 teachers employed in School District No. 68. These 121 teachers enrolled a total of 3,039 students. reports of district inspectors k 95 Buildings, Grounds, and Equipment In School District No. 50 the ratepayers approved a $200,000 by-law for the replacement of obsolete school buildings and the purchase of new school-sites at Masset, Sandspit, Port Clements, and Queen Charlotte City. In June of this year the Honourable the Minister of Education, together with Mrs. Straith, visited the remote schools of the Queen Charlotte Islands. On this occasion the members of the School Board and the residents of the Islands had the opportunity of meeting the Minister and of appreciating the genuine interest shown by Mr. Straith in their local educational problems. . In School District No. 68 the beneficial results of the $1,747,000 by-law passed in 1949 are now becoming evident. Twenty-six new elementary classrooms have been put into operation during the past year. This increased accommodation has resulted in the abolition of the swing-shift system that has retarded education in this district for the past several years. The new schools were officially opened by the Honourable W. T. Straith; Dr. F. T. Fairey, Deputy Minister and Superintendent of Education; and Mr. H. L. Campbell, Deputy Superintendent of Education. In addition to the construction of these elementary schools, tenders have been let for the large senior high school which the Board hopes to have ready for occupancy in September, 1952. The honour of turning the first sod for this impressive building was assigned to ex-Trustee John Barsby, who, as past president of both the British Columbia and the Canadian Trustees' Associations, has devoted thirty years of his time and energy to the advancement of education in the Nanaimo district. Health Service The health services of all schools in this inspectorate continue to be provided by the Central Vancouver Island Public Health Unit. In addition to the vast amount of work done among the pre-school children by the personnel of the health unit, a very thorough programme of preventive work in immunization, inoculation, and vaccination has been completed for those in attendance at the public schools. During the past three years the schools in the Central Vancouver Island inspectorate have been utilized as an experimental unit for Canada to test the application of the Wetzel Grid techniques. The experimental work has now been successfully completed, and the results have been published in the Wetzel Grid Study Report. Commencing in September, 1951, the Wetzel Grid techniques for the screening of pupils and for the prevention and correction of mental and physical defects and disabilities will be adopted as part of the regular health services in this area. In addition to the regular health services, the Nanaimo District School Board has appointed a mental-health co-ordinator, who has achieved excellent results during his first year in this capacity. Transportation Conveyance of students to the secondary schools continues to provide a big problem for the Nanaimo School Board. Out of 1,000 secondary students, more than 600 live outside the city, in which all the secondary schools are located. In the near future, consideration must be given to the establishment of one new junior high school in the city and another in the thickly populated rural area to the north of Nanaimo. If these two schools were built, the transportation problem would be reduced and the present obsolete buildings, in which the junior high-school students are housed, could be abandoned. Conclusion In conclusion, I wish to express my gratitude and sincere appreciation to the principals, teachers, secretary-treasurers, and School Board members in these two K 96 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 districts for the efficient, energetic, and untiring efforts that they have made to overcome the difficulties encountered in attempting to achieve the objectives suggested by the Department. Because of the unselfish and co-operative efforts of these men and women, the educational levels in both districts have been progressively raised, and the students are developing under happier and better instructional conditions than they have at any time in the past. School Districts No. 35 (Langley) and No. 48 (Howe Sound) REPORT OF HAROLD D. STAFFORD, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS School District No. 35 (Langley) is rapidly changing from a rural to a semi-urban area. The various community centres within the municipality are connected by a network of good roads. By means of a district-owned bus system, all secondary students have access to a modern composite junior-senior high school staffed by forty-three teachers. In the main, the people in School District No. 35 are engaged in growing small fruits and berries, dairying, and, to a much lesser extent, lumbering and fishing. An increasing number of people commute daily to the Cities of New Westminster and Vancouver for employment. School District No. 35 (Howe Sound) includes Britannia Beach, Squamish, and Woodfibre on the shores of the Sound and a number of inland communities served by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. Most of the people in this district live in relatively independent communities. They gain their livelihood by mining, logging, the production of wood-pulp, and by farming in the rapidly developing section adjacent to Pemberton. In both school districts there are master teachers and outstanding principals who, by their initiative, enthusiasm, and leadership, have given excellent service in their school attendance areas. The school population consists of normal, wholesome children and a splendid group of adolescent youths. The abnormal persons, whether deviates in terms of mental ability or social conduct, are few and are usually identified. The school authorities and other agencies are doing what they can to meet the needs of all who attend the public schools. The educational growth of the elementary- and secondary-school students, in my opinion, is proceeding satisfactorily. That students have won scholarships based on competitive examinations is indicative that the opportunity for excellence is available for those who wish to exert themselves. During the next few years, while maintaining scholarship, it is anticipated there will be increased emphasis upon aesthetic expression through music, art, and drama. There should be an accompanying broadening of the health programme, aimed at attaining a high standard in the physical development of pupils. It was my privilege to attend several public exhibitions and shows sponsored by the students and teachers of the Langley Junior-Senior High School. I commend all who in any way assisted in the preparation and presentation of those excellent performances. The Boards of School Trustees are served by conscientious and capable secretary- treasurers. During this past year, in addition to their customary duties, much of their time has been given to the details connected with the construction of new school buildings and additions to existing schools. The reconstruction of the Langley Junior-Senior High School, Industrial Arts Section, destroyed by fire, has proceeded with dispatch. The fact that the loss of the structure was covered by replacement insurance was indeed fortunate. All newly built schools in the Howe Sound School District are of sound construction, and ... -.IJU.-Jii REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 97 it is expected that the new junior-senior high school at Squamish will shortly be opened for classes. The Boards of School Trustees have given attention to the dissemination of information about the schools. In this work they have been assisted by the teachers and the many active Parent-Teacher Associations. I conclude this report by expressing my appreciation to all who, in these school districts, have aided the public-school system in trying to meet its objectives. In particular I would mention by name Trustees Mrs. M. L. Fougberg, of Pemberton, and A. T. Smith, of Britannia Mines, who, in the performance of their duties, have accepted many personal inconveniences and discomforts. School Districts No. 19 (Revelstoke) and No. 20 (Salmon Arm) REPORT OF L. B. STIBBS, B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS This inspectorate comprises the School Districts of Revelstoke and Salmon Arm. During the year the School Boards have concentrated on completion of long-term policies in connection with building programmes. In School District No. 19 (Revelstoke) a bylaw for an addition to the present city high school was approved by the ratepayers of this district. The addition will include a gymnasium-auditorium and three classrooms. It is planned to renovate a number of the classrooms and the administrative offices in the old building. This extension of the high-school facilities is long overdue and will fill a real need in the education of the pupils and for the community. The Board continued during the year to renovate and improve the outlying schools. A fine spirit of co-operation exists between the teachers and the trustees in this area. In District No. 20 (Salmon Arm), definite progress has been made toward the completion of a district building programme which was planned several years ago. In September the consolidated junior-senior high school and the addition to the elementary school in Salmon Arm were opened officially by the Honourable the Minister of Education and Dr. F. T. Fairey, the Deputy Minister of Education. This secondary school serves almost the entire area of the large school district. During the year the Carlin Elementary School, the Eagle Valley Elementary-High School, and the North Shuswap Elementary School were officially opened by the Inspector of Schools. These new buildings are of modern design and have eliminated almost all of the unsatisfactory one-room schools which were in operation heretofore. The Falkland Consolidated Elementary High School, which will serve all school-children from Heywood's Corner to Falkland, was well on its way to completion at the end of June. The opening of these schools has necessitated a heavy programme of transportation. This district now operates ten school buses, as well as contracting privately for transportation services in three areas. It would appear perhaps that this area is overconsolidated, and in the near future the School Board will no doubt have to decide to reopen some of the former one-room schools so that youngsters in the primary grades can be accommodated closer to their own homes. It is pleasing to see the good relations which exist between the School Board and the teachers of this district. Financial and administrative problems have been especially heavy for the School Board of District No. 20 (Salmon Arm). Early in 1951 an Arbitration Board ruled that the ordinary estimates of the district were to be cut by $80,500. This created a serious situation, and it appeared to be evident that all the schools would be unable to operate for the remainder of the year unless a solution to the financial problem could be found. K 98 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 In closing, I would take this opportunity to sincerely thank the trustees, the teachers, and all others directly connected with the schools of my inspectorate for their friendly co-operation and assistance during 1950-51. School Districts No. 71 (Courtenay) and No. 72 (Campbell River) REPORT OF C. I. TAYLOR, B.A., B.Ed., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Enrolment School District No. 72 continued to show considerable increase in enrolment during the school-year. The new pulp-mill at Duncan Bay will further aggravate this situation. The Campbell River School, built in 1949 to accommodate 500 pupils, now has 681 pupils enrolled and will of necessity be on shift again next year. Another by-law to increase accommodation in this district is essential. A school was reopened at Redonda Bay in February, two more at Port Neville, and Jackson Bay will be reopened in September. Read Island was closed as of June 27th. In District No. 71 the increase of pupils has been steady. Overcrowding and shifts will be avoided if the buildings provided in By-law No. 2 can be constructed during the next year. Buildings By-law No. 2, presented to the ratepayers of School District No. 71 on June 9th, received a good majority. This by-law provides for new elementary schools at Royston, Courtenay, and Tsolum; additions to elementary schools at Comox and Union Bay; reconstruction and additions to Courtenay High School, Tsolum Elementary-Senior High School, and Cumberland Junior-Senior High School. The Honourable the Minister of Education opened three new schools in School District No. 72 at Squirrel Cove, Mansons Landing, and Quadra Island. Campbell Falls School was also opened during the year. A new two-room school at Sayward is now in the process of construction. School District No. 71 opened a new school on Hornby Island in September. Schools in these districts are well equipped, and maintenance is efficiently carried out. Transportation x Transportation in School District No. 72 caused some trouble because of the heavy increase in enrolment. Transportation will always be a serious problem in this district until decentralization of elementary schools can be accomplished. Teaching Staff A loyal and efficient staff of 128 teachers serve these two districts. A good part of the work this year involved getting to know these people. Principals' meetings were held once a month. Meetings were held with the staffs of the various schools, and four sectional meetings—primary, intermediate, junior high, and senior high—were held with teachers concerned during the year. All teachers in the district were inspected and reports issued. General I was particularly impressed with the excellence of the two festivals—drama and music—which took place this year. A track meet for junior-high grades was introduced. This should prove an annual event. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 99 Reorganization of the Cumberland school situation to provide for the elementary Grades I to VI and junior-senior high school Grades VII to XII was completed for next September. The two School Boards continue to work hard and to give effective service. School Districts No. 65 (Cowichan), No. 66 (Lake Cowichan), and No. 67 (Ladysmith) REPORT OF B. THORSTEINSSON, B.A., M.B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS The general reorganization of inspectorates, which became effective in September, 1950, resulted in the formation of this new inspectorate, with offices established in Duncan. This area is comprised of School Districts No. 65 (Cowichan), No. 66 (Lake Cowichan), and No. 67 (Ladysmith). Comparative figures for these school districts from June, 1950, to June, 1951, are as follows:— District No. 65 (Cowichan) Pupils Teachers June, 1950 1,594 64 June, 1951 1,648 70 District No. 66 (Lake Cowichan)— June, 1950 969 38 June, 1951 1,065 38 District No. 67 (Ladysmith)— June, 1950 1 1,053 34 June, 1951 1,090 37 Totals— June, 1950 3,616 136 June, 1951 3,803 145 • This has been a year of steady and continuous progress. Staffing problems were at a minimum and co-operation between teachers and Board members has progressed favourably. A noteworthy development during the year has been the planning of new school buildings and the completion of others already under way. School District No. 65 (Cowichan) On September 15th, 1950, the high-school pupils of the Cowichan district moved into the new district high school which had just been completed in Duncan. This fine new school building, with its well-arranged shops, its excellent library, and its ample gymnasium-auditorium, is filling a long-felt need in this area. For the first time in this district, secondary pupils were brought together under one roof and were offered a broad and diversified programme. This school was officially opened by the Minister of Education, the Honourable W. T. Straith, on November 15th, 1950. A very large number of citizens attended the opening. The favourable comments by those present is a tribute to the members of the School Board, whose constant effort and persistence made the consolidated high school possible. During the year the community at large, as well as the pupils, have made good use of their new building. The most noteworthy development in this direction was the estab- K 100 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 lishment, for the first time in this area, of night classes, sponsored by the Board of School Trustees and the Department of Education. The night-school, which was very successfully operated, was enthusiastically received by all concerned. School District No. 66 (Lake Cowichan) The continued growth of school population in this area necessitated an addition during the year of eight rooms to the Lake Cowichan High School. At Gordon River a one-room school was reopened in temporary quarters. Plans are going ahead to establish this school on a more modern and permanent basis. Good progress has been made during the year in general maintenance and in school- bus housing. All buses are now provided with shelter, and a general shop has been included where repairs may be efficiently carried on. The Board of School Trustees, always alert to the needs of the pupils in the area, has worked most co-operatively and effectively in improving educational facilities for the pupils in the area. Mr. J. Allan, who had contributed so much as a trustee, found it necessary, due to ill-health, to relinquish his position on the Board. His place has been ably filled by Mrs. C. H. McMurtrie, who took office on January 1st, 1951. School District No. 67 (Ladysmith) In District No. 67 a new two-room addition was added to the Saltair School, and the name was changed to Mount Brenton. During the year, work was commenced on the new junior-senior high school building in Ladysmith, on the new junior high school building in Chemainus, and on the one-room elementary building on Thetis Island. It is expected that the Chemainus and Thetis Island schools will be completed and ready for occupancy by the opening of school in September. The junior-senior high school in Ladysmith should be ready about the middle of the year. The Board of School Trustees is to be congratulated for the effective and expeditious manner in which the building programme has been launched. Successful completion of these buildings will assure the district of much needed secondary-school accommodation. School Districts No. 21 (Armstrong-Enderby) and No. 22 (Vernon) REPORT OF A. S. TOWELL, M.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Unlike the previous several years, the school-year 1950-51 brought no major changes to this inspectorate. The recent rapid rate of increase of enrolment and of teaching staff slowed down considerably, affording what may be termed a breathing spell for consolidation of gains. It was a year of unspectacular but solid achievement. One very gratifying development was the decision to expand the activities of the North Okanagan Health Unit by the addition of a school dental clinic. It is expected that this clinic will begin operation early in the next school-year. School District No. 21 (Armstrong-Enderby) For this district, with its acute and worsening accommodation problem, 1950-51 was a year of hope deferred. The School Board's million-dollar building programme had been brought to the point where it was expected that a by-law could be placed before the voters early in 1951, but in view of the state of the debenture market, and because of certain other adverse developments, it was deemed expedient to postpone the vote. REPORTS OF DISTRICT INSPECTORS K 101 This means that present accommodation will have to serve for at least two more years, for even with the most favourable turn of circumstances it would hardly be possible to have the new buildings ready before September, 1953. School District No. 22 (Vernon) The building programme for this district was brought one further step toward completion by the erection of a new and modern three-room school at Lavington. The only major project now left to be done is the auditorium-gymnasium for the Vernon Senior High School, the construction of which will be started, it is hoped, in the very near future. One hears much nowadays about the importance of providing good working conditions, and this would apply, one would think, at least as much to pupils and teachers as to workers in industry. It is conceded that the best work cannot be expected where lighting is poor, where surroundings are dingy and unattractive, where there are physical discomforts, and where equipment is inadequate. The Vernon School District is rapidly approaching the point where the working conditions in all its schools will be very satisfactory. One more development this year remains to be noted—namely, the establishment in the Vernon High School of a course in Vocational Agriculture. It is hoped that this will prove a valuable addition to the curricular offerings. In conclusion, I should like once more to record my appreciation of the faithful service rendered by the trustees and by the teachers and other employees, and also of the fine co-operation I have received from all of them. Such pleasant relationships do much to lighten the burden of an Inspector's work. School Districts No. 15 (Penticton), No. 16 (Keremeos), and No. 17 (Princeton) REPORT OF ALEX TURNBULL, M.C., M.M., B.A., INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS Since the reorganization carried out last year, this inspectorate now takes in the following area: School District No. 15 (Penticton), School District No. 16 (Keremeos), and School District No. 17 (Princeton). The staff consists of 127 teachers—64 in elementary and 63 in junior-senior high schools—and 3,450 pupils were in attendance, an increase of 87 over the previous year. It is evident that the accommodation problem has eased considerably. Sixteen schools are in operation, and as a result of the intensive work of recent years, proper classrooms will be available for all pupils this fall. Modern high schools, equipped to offer a wide range of courses, serve each district. In September the new school at Princeton was formally opened by the Honourable W. T. Straith and Dr. F. T. Fairey. At Keremeos, in May, Mr. Straith officiated at another pleasing ceremony, when the new Similkameen Junior-Senior High School and the Cawston Elementary School were dedicated. The Carmi Elementary School was completed at Penticton and occupied in April. Building continues in that district, where a gymnasium and an auditorium are still under construction. A very popular service was inaugurated at Penticton in January, when the fine new cafeteria was ready for operation. Full-course lunches at moderate prices are served to several hundred pupils daily. The efficiency with which this unit is functioning is proving of great satisfaction to those responsible for the health of the large number of students obliged to travel by bus. PROVINCIAL UBRAftk, VICTORIA, b. a K 102 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 A definite stabilization of school routine is evident, and the strenuous years of planning on the part of school authorities are beginning to show results. Community uses of the new facilities are taxing them to the limit. The efforts have been worth while. Academic standards have been maintained and checked by the regular testing programme. A capable staff is in charge of the schools. Adult education continues to advance, and night classes prove increasingly popular. During the term Penticton Elementary staff enjoyed the association with Miss Irma Sherk, an exchange teacher from St. Catherines, Ont. As usual, the members of the Public Health Department contributed valuable service to the school system. Student activities which culminated in appropriate graduation ceremonies received ample attention. Systematic interschool contacts were organized through athletics, dramatics, public speaking, music, and conferences. Two successful gatherings promoted by Penticton Junior-Senior High School brought together student leaders from all sections of the valley. These very wholesome and inspiring meetings were a great credit to those who planned the programmes. Personally it has been a good year, and I wish to express my sincere appreciation to trustees, teachers, and students who have done so much to make it so.

At present annual teacher turn-over in the rural schools averages approximately 80 per cent. General Boards in the three districts are following planned programmes for bringing teaching supplies and equipment up to a satisfactory standard. During the past year science supplies, social studies aids, general reference books, and supplementary-reading aids have received particular attention. School Districts Nos. 56 and 57 have joined with the Cariboo Health Unit to secure the services of a dentist, who will concentrate on Grade I and pre-school children in the areas. Such a service is badly needed, and the co-operative effort is to be commended. During the year all districts have taken steps to provide additional accommodation and facilities. By-law plans have been delayed in Vanderhoof and Prince George until present restrictions are relaxed, although much of the preliminary detail work has been completed. McBride passed a by-law for $209,000 in October with a large majority. Plans are complete for a new secondary school, four rural schools, four teacherages, three major school reconstructions, and a dormitory. All rural schools continue to receive good service from the Public Library Commission in Prince George. The number, type, and variety of books distributed has shown a steady improvement. The growth and work of the Parent-Teacher Associations throughout the area is to be commended. School District No. 56 (Vanderhoof) Sites have been secured for future school additions at Vanderhoof and Fort St. James. Growth in the area is remaining steady. The development on the Nechako River by the Aluminum Company of Canada has not brought a large increase in school enrolment. School District No. 57 (Prince George) New rural schools and teacherages were constructed at Bud Lake and West Lake. A new school was constructed at Tabor Creek to replace one destroyed by fire, and a former school moved and renovated to replace the Salmon Valley School which also K 104 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 burned. Dormitory accommodation in Prince George was doubled by the conversion of a second army building. Three classrooms were incorporated into this unit. Five classrooms were added to the Central Fort George School on the edge of the city, making this a seven-room unit. The Shelley and Buckhorn Schools were completely renovated. Steps were taken to enlarge the playground of the former, and the latter was moved to a more central location. Teacherages were built or purchased at Tabor Creek, Aleza Lake, and Willow River. Evidences of rapid growth in this area are more marked as the Hart Highway and Pacific Great Eastern Railway near completion. School District No. 58 (McBride) New rural schools were built at Dome Creek and Red Pass to replace old structures. Schools at Croydon and Goat River were closed, and a school opened at North Croydon in temporary accommodation. A high-school dormitory was opened and successfully operated during the year. Two additional divisions were opened in the McBride Elementary-Senior High School in temporary accommodation. School population throughout the area is growing slowly. I wish to thank all pupils, school trustees, teachers, and school employees for making my first year as Inspector of this area so pleasant. All those associated with the schools have worked with a common purpose and have displayed energy and good-will. With the help of the officials in the Department and the co-operation and understanding of the local people, the needs of education will continue to receive sympathetic consideration. THE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLIND K 105 THE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLIND REPORT OF C. E. MACDONALD, LL.B., B.S., LL.D., SUPERINTENDENT Attendance Following is a summary of the enrolment for the 1950-51 school-year:— Day Pupils Residents Totals Deaf or partial hearing Blind or partial sighted 29 7 78 27 107 34 Totals _ 36 105 141 In addition to the above, eight city children of pre-school age have received part-time instruction and three others have received home-training through our correspondence course for parents. The table below indicates the growth in total attendance over the past thirty years of operation:— 1920-21 51 1940-41 88 1925-26 79 1945-46 111 1930-31 85 1950-51 141 1935-36 92 The median age of the students enrolled during the past year was around 11 years, Whereas ten years ago it was around 13 years. This reduction in the median age and the increase in enrolment may be directly attributed to our practice of the past few years of accepting 5-year-old children in our beginner classes. Health In spite of overcrowding in the dormitories, the general health of the children was very satisfactory. The assistance of the Metropolitan Health Services, the Children's Health Centre, and the Child Guidance Clinic has been invaluable in diagnoses, treatments, and guidance in special situations. Buildings The new primary unit for deaf children is near completion and should be ready for occupancy by the time school reopens in September. It will provide comfortable fireproof living accommodations for approximately sixty children, hospital accommodation for twenty, and large, well-lighted classrooms for approximately seventy students. This building is modern in every respect, and has been especially designed for the purpose of training small deaf children. We sincerely hope that within a few years a similar building will be erected to meet the needs of the blind. With the co-operation of the Public Works Department, the senior boys' dormitory building and the dormitories in the main building were repainted before the close of school. All the senior classrooms will have been repainted, refurnished, and equipped with fluorescent lighting before the fall reopening. Training Programme Thirty-nine Canadian and American teachers attended the 1950 Department of Education summer courses given here by Miss Bennett and Miss Hodgins, of the Lexington Avenue School in New York City. Credits earned by our teachers and K 106 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 supervisors in these special summer courses are applied toward higher professional certificates. One blind student successfully completed the University Entrance requirements and plans to enrol in the fall term of the University of British Columbia. A substantial beginning has been made in the introduction of Grade II standard braille in the junior blind class. As prepared texts for primary grades become available, this programme will be extended. Through the untiring efforts of Miss Helen Woodward, vice-principal of the deaf primary department, and her assistants, marked progress has been achieved in all phases of the primary programme. The high standards attained in speech and language usage merit special commendation. Marked progress is further evidenced in the intermediate and senior deaf classes, under the capable direction of Miss Mabel Blake, vice-principal. I am pleased to report that the academic standard of our deaf department has been advanced by one full year to the completion of junior high school, as prescribed for regular public schools. It is hoped that before long it will be possible to institute one or more vocational courses suitable for senior deaf students. General Remarks In submitting this report, I am deeply conscious of the valuable assistance rendered by the Junior League of Vancouver, the Stagettes, the Quota Club, and other interested organizations and individuals. Their co-operation has contributed in a large measure to the progress achieved during the past year and is deeply appreciated. I wish, too, to express my sincere thanks to Inspectors Gray and Burnett, of our Management Committee, for their sympathetic understanding and counsel, to the Department of Education, and to all members of the school staff for their whole-hearted support.

This makes a total of 164,263 papers marked during the year. The staff in Victoria consisted of the Director, twelve full-time instructors, one part-time instructor, and an office staff of six members. In the Peace River there is one full-time instructor and one part-time instructor to handle the work involved in that branch. When the marking becomes too heavy for the staff at the school, lessons are sent out to outside markers. These are people qualified to mark papers who do it in their homes. This is a part-time occupation. The services of eleven outside markers were used this year. Adult pupils wishing to complete their elementary schooling are enrolled in the Elementary Correspondence School. This year the enrolment of adults for the year was as follows:— September 73 October 95 November 114 December 126 January 133 February 161 March 179 April 191 May 201 June 209 There were 5,216 papers of adult students corrected during the year. K 112 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 TEXT-BOOK BRANCH REPORT OF P. G. BARR, OFFICER IN CHARGE The year 1950-51 has been one of strain for this office. We continue to suffer from lack of space, both in the office and shipping-room. The renting of additional storage- space does nothing to eliminate the many hours of overtime the shipping-room staff is required to put in to ensure reasonable delivery at school-opening time. The Branch, nevertheless, continues to operate successfully, and 92 per cent of the public-school pupils enrolled in Grades VII to XIII participated in the Text-book Rental Plan, which is ample proof of this voluntary scheme's success. It is pleasing to record also that the Rental Plan is operating satisfactorily from a financial point of view. It is an assisted scheme, and part of the $100,000 subsidy voted was used during the fiscal year. On the whole, the. books in the schools are being fairly well cared for, but there are classes where more use might be made of the paper covers which are available. I am pleased to report that arrangements are in hand for the salvage and repair of some books which otherwise might be destroyed. The thought and effort given by many teachers and principals to the completion of requisitions and other forms is appreciated. The other operations of the Branch were carried on to the satisfaction of the various dealers, School Boards, etc. To purchase and distribute the free supplies, issued during the school-year 1950-51 to public schools and in connection with correspondence courses, required an expenditure of $188,008.49; 4,218 free requisitions were received and'filled. Combined orders, free and saleable, reached the large total of 17,500. From these orders the sum of $419,786.66 was collected by us and deposited in the Treasury. Many of the report forms, etc., issued by the Department of Education were distributed by us to the various School Boards, when and where required. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OFFICER IN CHARGE, TEXT-BOOK BRANCH, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31st, 1951 In presenting this report, my twentieth and the second to include the operation of the Rental Plan, I am pleased it is still another of successful operations and sound financial result, as can be seen from the accompanying statements. Stock The stock on hand in our warehouse, $323,646.38, is valued at publisher's price, plus incoming freight. Rental stock on hand, $356,641.26, is the value of the books in the schools (Rental Plan), less depreciation, but it does not take into account the transportation and other costs involved in moving these books from our shipping-room to the various schools of the Province, nor does it give us an opportunity to cover the office overhead. Sales Our sales to dealers, etc., amounted to $475,459.58, and discount allowed was $85,671.91. Rentals We received $221,915.31 in rental fees from the various schools, an increase of 19 per cent over the previous year, and, in addition, we received $64,497.20 from the Rental Plan subsidy vote. TEXT-BOOK BRANCH K 113 General Remarks To a very loyal and efficient staff, and to all schools, School Boards, and particularly the secretary-treasurers, I extend a very sincere thanks.

(1) CANADIAN VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMME During the fiscal year 1950-51 the following schedules of the Dominion-Provincial Vocational Training Agreement were in operation: Schedule " C " (Urban Occupational Training), Schedule "E" (Rural Training), Schedule "H" (Student Aid), Schedule " M " (Unemployed Workers' Training). In addition, under the Apprentice Training Agreement training was given to regularly indentured apprentices at night-schools and by correspondence. (a) Dominion-Provincial Vocational Training Agreement Schedule C—Urban Occupational Training During the past year, three classes were in operation under this schedule, which offers training to persons between the ages of sixteen and thirty years who have not been previously employed. At the Vancouver Vocational Institute a class in Power-machine Sewing was held, and two classes, one in Automotive Mechanics and one in Diesel Mechanics, were in operation at the Dominion-Provincial Vocational School at Nanaimo. The costs of these classes were shared equally between the Dominion Department of Labour and the Provincial Government. The total enrolment during the fiscal year 1950-51 was as follows:— Men Women Total Nanaimo 15 30 28 15 30 Power-machine sewing Vancouver 28 Totals 45 28 73 REPORT ON ADULT EDUCATION K 117 Schedule E—Rural Training The following report has been prepared by Gordon M. Shrum, O.B.E., M.M., Ph.D.(Tor.), F.R.S.C., Director of the Department of University Extension, University of British Columbia:— " The seventh annual Dominion-Provincial Youth Training School was held at the University of British Columbia from January 8th to March 3rd, 1951. As in former years, this eight-week leadership training school for young people from the rural areas was sponsored by the Provincial Department of Education, the Federal Department of Labour, and the Department of University Extension. " Fifty-nine students, representing most rural districts of British Columbia, including the Peace River area, attended this year's school. Twenty-four girls received instruction which placed primary emphasis on sewing, handicrafts, weaving, and cooking, and secondary emphasis on personal relationships, nutrition, home management, knotting and braiding, and many practical arts. Thirty-five boys gained, through lectures and laboratory experience, knowledge and skill in agricultural engineering, motors, carpentry, and blacksmithing. Their study programme also included instruction in welding, plumbing, painting, electricity, and handicrafts. In addition, students took public speaking, clubs and government, farm management, record-keeping, soils and crops, home planning, livestock, dairying, poultry, and horticulture. Activities in addition to regular classes included dramatics, publications, first aid, recreational planning, photography, 16-mm. motion- picture projection, radio forums, documentary film showings, as well as physical education and recreation. " Students attended classes and laboratories during the day and took part in the recreational programme during the evenings. The school was operated along the lines of a folk-school, with the staff and students living and taking their meals at the Acadia Camp Youth Training Centre. " The staff for the school was drawn from the University Faculty of Agriculture, the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the Department of University Extension, and specialized commercial organizations. " It is felt that this type of training meets a real need in this Province, where so many of the rural areas are handicapped by a degree of isolation and by inadequate facilities for vocational farm training." Schedule H—Student Aid Under the provisions of the Dominion-Provincial Student Aid Schedule, students of academic merit who are in financial need can secure financial assistance to enable them to proceed with their education beyond the level of the secondary school. The awards granted are in the form of 60-per-cent bursary (or gift) and 40-per-cent loan, which is repayable one year after the recipient has entered employment. Awards are made by a Selection Committee consisting of the Deputy Minister and Superintendent of Education (who acts as chairman), the Assistant Superintendent of Education, the Registrar of the Department of Education, the Director of Technical and Vocational Education, and representatives of the various institutions concerned. Wherever possible, each applicant is interviewed by the committee. During the past year, 557 awards, ranging from $50 to $400, were made to students attending the institutions listed.

REPORT ON ADULT EDUCATION K 119 During the fiscal year 1950-51, forty-seven women received instruction in power- machine sewing, and forty-one men were instructed in power-saw operation. (b) Apprentice Training The Department of Education, Technical Branch, is responsible for the technical training of regularly indentured apprentices who are recommended for training by the Apprenticeship Branch of the Provincial Department of Labour. The full costs of the training are shared on a fifty-fifty basis with the Dominion Department of Labour. Instruction is given at night classes operated by local School Boards under the supervision of the Department of Education. Apprentices in outlying districts are able to receive their instruction by correspondence, without cost to themselves. During the year 1950-51, there were 1,860 apprentices trained either by correspondence or at night-school classes.

LUCAS, B.A., D. £S L., DIRECTOR The total enrolment in the High School Correspondence Branch during the school- year 1950-51 was 5,828. Of this number 21.6 per cent or 1,258 were between the ages of 18 and 20, and 38.1 per cent or 2,223 were 21 years of age or over. Thus 59.7 per cent of our students can be classified as adults. This is a decrease of 3.8 per cent over the figures of 1949-50. There was a decrease of 95 students in the number of students over 21 and 166 in the number of students between the ages of 18 and 20. There were adult students among those registered for every course offered by this department, as indicated in my report of High School and Vocational Courses. The following is a classification of the occupations of students 18 years of age and over who gave information as to their employment:— Apprentices 108 Army, Navy, Air Force 36 Civil Servants 78 Domestic workers 50 Farming and ranching - 51 Firemen, engineers 240 Forestry 18 Housewives 102 Lumbering 5 3 Merchants 7 Mining 22 Office-workers 232 Professional— Teachers 183 Nurses 67 Miscellaneous 26 276 Railroad 29 Skilled labour 158 Unskilled labour 221 Miscellaneous . 25 Total 1,706 K 122 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Elementary Correspondence School Adult Class ANNA B.

Recreation and Physical Education Branch REPORT OF R. J. PHILLIPS, ACTING DIRECTOR The Recreation and Physical Education Branch has concluded a very successful year both in its relationship with schools and communities throughout the Province. The Branch has been able to extend its technical services with regard to the school Physical Education programmes by giving advice on facilities, equipment, and programme; by distributing a periodical bulletin giving ideas and general information designed to stimulate the Physical Education programme; by assisting in organizing and promoting sports competitions on an invitational basis; and by conducting sports coaching clinics. The high-school sports programme was greatly stimulated by the invitation competitions which this Branch assisted in organizing. The results were as follows:— Sport Host Winner Girls' volleyball—Fairview High School of Commerce Kelowna. Boys' volleyball—Kelowna High School Kelowna. Curling Nelson High School, Kimberley. Boys' basketball- University of British Columbia Duke of Connaught. Girls' basketball _ Trail High School King Edward. Track and field ..-.Victoria High School Victoria High School. Sports Clinics During the past few years there has been an ever-increasing demand for courses or clinics on major sports by schools and community groups. Clinics have been held with great success in basketball, soccer, and track and field athletics, but the number being conducted is limited primarily by the availability of trained personnel who are free to travel to key points in the Province. In September, 1950, this Branch conducted a sports clinic in soccer and basketball at King Edward High School in Vancouver. This particular clinic grew out of a request from the British Columbia Communities Centres Conference, when community groups expressed the need for more trained leaders to head their sports programmes. The courses were divided into three sections—Coaching and Game Skills, Rules and Referee- ing, and Psychology of Leadership—and were open to all teachers and prospective REPORT ON ADULT EDUCATION K 123 community sports leaders. Messrs. Jack Pomfret, J. Willox, Murray West, Dan Kulai, and Oliver Walling were in charge of the various sections. From October to March Messrs. J. Willox and J. Dickerson travelled to the Fraser Valley, Okanagan Valley, Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and Prince Rupert, conducting basketball refereeing clinics. In most cases, schools were visited and instruction given to the student-body during assembly or Physical Education periods. Attendance at the thirty-three clinics held totalled 7,000 students, coaches, and referees. The result of these clinics is seen in a better interpretation of the rules of the game and a better standard of basketball throughout the Province. Adult Physical-fitness Centres Our experience during the years this Branch has been in operation has amply demonstrated the need for organized programmes of recreation. Years ago the communities were much smaller and more widely separated than to-day. Much of the recreation then revolved about the church and family, and seemed to meet the needs of the people. To-day, however, our society is more complex, more highly industrialized, more impersonal, and the constantly changing population has made it difficult for recreation to spring spontaneously from the community. Recreation leaders in Canada to-day are generally of the opinion that recreation is primarily the responsibility of the community itself, and that initiative and control should rest in the hands of representatives of local communities, with assistance provided by municipal, Provincial, and Federal Governments. It has been our observation that while Recreation Associations are springing up all over the Province, the majority of these are not sufficiently experienced to organize themselves effectively and have not sufficient funds to employ qualified personnel. This has been borne out in the experience of four Greater Vancouver Community Associations who were unable to continue operation without the financial assistance of the civic administration. Even the small monthly grants which our Branch has made to full-time community directors has been most helpful in assisting thirteen communities to employ full-time people who could organize and co-ordinate community activities. In the matter of a physical-recreation programme we have been able to offer a definite service to over fifty communities. The activities being promoted have been many and varied, including gymnastics, basketball, dancing, softball, swimming, ski-ing, badminton, tennis, and others. The physical-fitness centres (240 in all) are mainly promoted on a request basis. The community requests the service and provides the facilities; we pay the instructor and supply some equipment. In Vancouver and Victoria, where the population is relatively larger and more difficult to organize, the Branch provides the facilities as well as the instruction and equipment. We have found that when communities request our assistance in establishing physical-fitness centres, they ask mainly that the children's recreation needs be looked after. Being an adult-education branch, we are reluctant to step into this field, and do so only because the insistent demands from Parent-Teacher Associations, church and community groups cannot be overlooked. We are aware of the child's need for robust leisure-time activities, participation in which will materially benefit his health and character, and we subscribe to the opinion of Dr. Karl S. Bernhardt that " some of the most important features of character and personality are developed mainly through leisure-time activities. Initiative, intelligent planning, persistence are just a few of the traits developed in this way." This Branch is in a position to make a great contribution to the recreational life of the child as well as the adult, and at the same time to realize, in part, our aim of raising the physical-fitness standard of the people in our Province, and thus contributing to the total national fitness. K 124 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 The registration and attendance in the Pro-Rec Physical Fitness classes are as follows:— Pro-Rec Centres: Number of centres, 240; registration, 16,921; attendance, 219,325.

Leadership Training In addition to the sports coaching clinics, the Branch conducted separate Summer School courses for men and women during August and September. Communities were invited to select suitable adults who could come to Vancouver for training. Arrangements were made for billeting, and subsidies were granted to enable as many as possible to attend from out of town. On the completion of the course, successful candidates returned to their communities and carried on a physical-fitness programme. Thirty-two women and forty-one men were trained at the Pro-Rec Summer School. Fitness Demonstrations Demonstrations were held in many communities to mark the closing of the winter season. In Vancouver the Pro-Rec Women's Division, under the direction of Mrs. Hilda Keatley, staged a two-day revue, which was highly successful both from a participant and spectator point of view. The show was a presentation in capsule form of the activities that attract thousands of stenographers, factory-workers, store clerks, and housewives into Pro-Rec throughout the Province. report on adult education k 125 Gymnastic Competition The New Westminster Junior High School was the scene for the Annual Pro-Rec Gymnastic Competition. Thirty-eight representative teams from Victoria, Kamloops, Kimberley, Fraser Valley, and Greater Vancouver competed in the two-day meet, which involved 187 competitors in five classes of competition. The competition was directed by Mr. Jerry Mathisen. Gymnastic Display Tour During the latter part of June and early July, 1951, a team of fifteen excellent gymnasts toured the Northern British Columbia area, under the direction of Mr. Sid Greenwood, visiting nine communities and performing before an estimated 12,000 people. The tour itself had four main purposes to fulfil:— (a) To demonstrate to the people of each community one phase of the work being done by the Government through the Physical Education and Recreation Branch: (b) To provoke interest and enthusiasm for the future establishment of a recreation programme in each of the communities visited: (c) To show the excellent quality of gymnastic performance that many, if not most, young men are capable of performing when given an opportunity to train under the direction of competent instructors and coaches: (d) To outline to the people assembled at each display the main aims and policies of the Branch and how the Branch, as set up under the Department of Education in Victoria, can assist the people of the community in setting up a recreation programme; also to emphasize what the people must do to help themselves establish a recreation programme. Financially the tour, in the main, paid its own way. Judging from the expression of enthusiasm and interest shown during and after each display, it seems that the values of the tour, regarding the Department of Education and the Branch, for arousing the people's interest in physical recreation has gone beyond anything formerly anticipated. Recreation for the Blind We have in British Columbia approximately 1,700 blind men, women, and children, with about half of this number residing in Vancouver. A full-time employee of this Branch has organized a broad programme of recreational activities for the blind in Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, Chilliwack, and Kelowna, through social groups known as the " White Cane Clubs." About 60 per cent of the blind community in Greater Vancouver participate in the recreation programme, and a lesser percentage in outlying regions. The programme is dedicated to providing all our blind folk, ultimately, with a more abundant measure of happy living. Regional Supervisors The services of the Branch were expanded in April by the appointment of two additional Regional Supervisors. Mr. Ed. Kelter was appointed for Vancouver Island and Mr. Keith Maltman for the Northern British Columbia area. K 126 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 School and Community Drama Branch REPORT OF H. S. HURN, B.A., DIRECTOR The Royal Commission The recently published report of the Royal Commission on the Fine Arts, Letters, and Sciences is of interest, especially in relation to the work of this Branch. The report submitted to the Dominion Government makes a strong plea on behalf of the fine arts for a greatly enlarged share in the pattern of Canadian life. Among the subjects which engaged the attention of the Commission was drama, and it is pleasing to reflect that sixteen years ago the British Columbia Government pioneered in this field, with an emphasis, then, on the value of drama as a wholesome leisure-time activity. Community Drama Approximately 250 community drama groups are functioning in the Province. They range in size, activity, and influence from a few large ones which carry on a heavy programme, with six or seven major productions a year and " workshop activities " for the younger and less experienced members, to small groups whose major effort lies in the direction of play reading and study, with but one public production. The activity is basically recreational, but it is impossible to keep it on that level; there is ever a striving to reach a quality of work that will attract, and there is no doubt that these hard-working citizens are making a valuable contribution to the life of their respective communities. It is doubtless true that no activity can be correctly designated " community " unless it touches practically all citizens, and in the realm of dramatic activity this desirable situation would be reached only, perhaps, with such projects as pageantry. Figures show, however, that support is constantly increasing for our groups, proof of a growing interest in drama and improving standards of entertainment. This is particularly evident in the smaller communities, whose citizens have little or no opportunity to share in any professional entertainment which might enter the Province. The organization of professional companies in music, dance, and drama charged with the responsibility of taking these arts to the small cities is a project much to be desired, and it is hoped that the recommendations of the Royal Commission are so implemented by the Government that a start on this can be made, for with the professional development will come an increasingly virile amateur movement. High-school Drama High-school drama is divided between the school activity and the classes in drama. The former is a truly community effort, integrating every department of the school—literature, social studies, music, dance, workshop, and household science. It gives wide scope to the talents of children and unites individual effort with sustained co-operative enterprise, brings together the intellectual and the practical, the artistic and the homely, and teaches dependence upon others to the gifted and enhances self-respect of the less gifted. Accredited courses, Drama 10, 20, and 30, are available to pupils with a flair for the subject and offer a wide range of activity and study. Reports on the first year indicate a good response, which would have been much better were there not difficulties of arranging individual time-tables, while in some of the smaller schools fitting the subject into the time-table was not easy. The subject will be the object of study during the coming year. The statistical report on all school public productions is too long for this report and has been forwarded separately. REPORT ON ADULT EDUCATION K 127 Elementary-school Dramatics More dramatic activity has been observed in the elementary-school grades. The activity has been of such a nature as to ensure that it is " drama in education " rather than " education in drama," the emphasis being placed on the by-products with a substantial effort toward creativeness. With this emphasis there should be a noticeable improvement in speech, poise, and movement, a vitalization of other subjects, and attitudes. With wise choice of material and competent guidance, these young pupils, possessing much acting ability, have given stage performances that were refreshingly pleasing and competent. Festivals Festivals are " peak exercises " for drama groups who, by their participation, invite criticism of their efforts. This criticism is offered in all festivals, whether or not they are competitive, and serves a useful purpose. There were twenty-nine festivals held in the Province last year. This total is divided into the following sections, according to type: (a) Musical festivals with music, speech, etc., 9; (b) full-length plays (adults), 1; (c) one-act plays (adults), 4; (d) one-act plays (schools), 8; (e) one-act plays (schools and adults), 7. The regional festival of the Dominion Drama Festival of full-length plays was held in Vancouver and attracted seven entries. The Vancouver Repertory Players' entry, " Therese," was chosen to go to London, Ont., to take part in the final. The Players are a comparatively young amateur group and did well. One of the difficulties confronting those who compete in this national festival of drama is the cost of entry and, if chosen to compete in the final, that of travel. This latter is accentuated when it is necessary to transport scenery and properties as well. Sundry Topics There was a continuing heavy demand upon the facilities of" the Branch—books, lights, curtains, and pamphlets. The drama essay contest was won for the fourth consecutive year by the Kitsilano Junior-Senior High School. The Trail High School won the prize for the best scrap-book. The annual magazine was sent to all groups and schools, and a bi-monthly bulletin was started. Scholarships to Summer Schools of the Theatre were awarded to Gerald Guest of Esquimalt High School, Mary Watson of North Saanich High School, Gwen Laurie of Cranbrook High School, and Arlette Kostyk of Fairview High School of Commerce. There was some increase in summer drama activity, and it would appear that more groups will be established with this aim in view. A new professional company opened this season in Ambleside Park in North Vancouver and met with satisfactory support. The Theatre under the Stars had a most successful season at Vancouver. Amateurs have broken into the field of summer production, the Vernon Little Theatre and the White Rock Players both producing plays. The only professional company in post-war years, the Everyman Theatre, continued its operations during the past season as an amateur company, but the increased support for the living stage makes it hopeful that before long Vancouver will have a good professional repertory theatre. Assistance for such ventures is hoped for through the efforts of the Royal Commission. Courses in drama have been offered by the University Summer School and at the Summer School for Teachers at Victoria. An extension of this service would be of assistance in developing " theatre in education " by the training of teachers in the work they will find to do in their schools. A children's theatre is being operated in Vancouver, and production is being taken care of by the Everyman Theatre. It is hoped that children in other areas will be able to benefit from seeing good plays done by adults, and efforts are being made in this direction. K 128 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 A degree of international co-operation in drama has been established in the Province. For many years the Portland Civic Theatre has taken part in the festival and has been very popular. Ketchikan groups came down to the Prince Rupert Festival last year, and the Tonasket High School participated in the Oliver and District Schools Festival. In Vancouver a new group known as " Le Cercle Moliere " took part in the Greater Vancouver One-act Play Festival, acting in French, and in a few of the smaller festivals, international groups have produced in their own language. Appreciation The Branch wishes to express thanks for the work and co-operation of the many workers in the field of amateur drama, the executives, the back-stage workers, and players, as well as to the teachers who must spend much time in extra-curricular activity. The Royal Commission Report says in part, " There are important things in the life of a nation that cannot be weighed or measured; these intangible elements are not only essential in themselves; they may serve to inspire a nation's devotion and to prompt a people's action. ..." These good citizens, believing that drama, a fusion of the arts, is one of these important things, are doing a fine service to the community, the Province, and Canada. EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE K 129 EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE REPORT OF HAROLD P. JOHNS, M.A., Ph.D., DIRECTOR Approved counselling programmes were in operation in fifty schools during the school-year 1950-51; 103 counsellors were employed in these schools. As will be noted by comparison with previous Annual Reports, there has been steady progress in the development of counselling services in the schools of British Columbia. The present report is another indication of this growth. In-service training carried on during the year can be best considered under three headings:— (1) Counsellor-training.—Through the Department's Summer School of Education, a full programme of counsellor-training was again carried on during July and August, 1951. The following is a list of the courses offered, together with the names of instructors and the enrolment in each case:— No. 189, Organization and Administration of the Guidance Services: Dr. D. Welty Lefever, University of Southern California (35 enrolled). No. 190X, Counsellors' Workshop: Dr. John G. Darley, Graduate School, University of Minnesota (17 enrolled). No. 193, Occupational Information: Mr. B. E. Wales, Kitsilano Junior-Senior High School, Vancouver (38 enrolled). The assistance of Mr. L. J. Wallace, Boys' Counsellor, Victoria High School, in organizing the programme of plant visitation conducted as part of Course No. 193 is gratefully acknowledged. (2) General Guidance Courses.—Several general or background courses in various phases of guidance work were also offered at the Summer School of Education. These were as follows (enrolment in each case shown in parentheses): No. 115, Adolescent Psychology (92); No. 126, Adjusting School Work to Individual Differences (78); No. 151, Guidance in the Elementary School (93); No. 155, Personality Adjustment of School Children (124); No. 159, Mental Hygiene (92). It should be pointed out that Course No. 151, Guidance in the Elementary School, was an initial effort to assist teachers with the methodology of guidance work at the elementary level. The Department of Education was fortunate in having the services of Dr. Virginia Bailard, Supervisor of Counselling and Psychological Services, Long Beach, Calif., as the guest lecturer in charge of this course. In addition to the above, the following courses were offered as winter in-service classes through the courtesy of the Vancouver School Board (enrolment in each case shown in parentheses): No. 159, Mental Hygiene (26); No. 800A, Effective Living''(41); No. 800B, Effective Living (39). (3) Non-credit-bearing Workshops, etc.—In-service training of a more informal nature was carried on throughout the year at various centres in the Province. Three workshops were held for counsellors, one in each of the following districts: Okanagan Valley, Fraser Valley, Northern and Central Vancouver Island. In each of these cases, local professional associations of counsellors rendered valuable assistance in arranging details of the workshops. During the school-year 1950-51, the Division of Educational and Vocational Guidance continued to supply materials to counsellors and others engaged in guidance K 130 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 work. Six issues of B.C. Employment Trends were prepared and sent to all high-school principals and counsellors. Two Lists of Materials Available were distributed, listing and classifying 181 monographs. In addition, fifty monographs were distributed directly to secondary schools. In two cases these were accompanied by film-strips. During the year, Guidance Bulletin No. VII, The Occupational Information File, was completely revised and reissued to all secondary schools. Through the co-operation of the Vancouver Board of Trade and the Pacific National Exhibition, the annual vocational guidance job-study competition was again conducted throughout the Province. A total of 10,078 job-studies was made. Bursaries were awarded to students in the following schools: Britannia, King Edward, King George, Kitsilano, Point Grey, Templeton, and University Hill High and Junior High Schools, Vancouver; North Vancouver, Sutherland, and West Vancouver High and Junior High Schools, North and West Vancouver; New Westminster Junior High and T. J. Trapp Technical High Schools, New Westminster; nAJpha Junior High and South Burnaby Junior-Senior High Schools, Burnaby; North Surrey, Queen Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret Junior-Senior High Schools, Surrey; Cowichan Junior-Senior High School, Duncan; Mount Newton and North Saanich Junior-Senior High Schools, Saanich; Stanley Humphries Junior-Senior High School, Castlegar; Alexander Mackenzie High School, Hagensborg; Lady Byng Elementary-High School, Ashcroft; Victoria, Courtenay, Delta, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Enderby, Vernon, Penticton, Kelowna, Kimberley, Fernie, Rossland, Nelson, Ocean Falls, Terrace, Prince George, and South Peace River High and Junior High Schools. The winner of the grand bursary award of $250 was Carole Dunsmuir. The George Powell Challenge Trophy was, as a consequence, awarded to Kitsilano Junior-Senior High School, Vancouver, the school which Miss Dunsmuir attended last term. DIVISION OF SCHOOL RADIO BROADCASTS K 131 DIVISION OF SCHOOL RADIO BROADCASTS REPORT OF PHILIP J. KITLEY, M.A., DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL RADIO BROADCASTS Co-ordination with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation In theory, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has agreed to provide the Department of Education with half an hour air-time each required school-day, and the facilities and technicians needed for the broadcasts. In the original agreement the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation also held itself responsible for seeing that material was up to broadcast standard. On its part, the Department of Education is responsible for the planning and preparation of broadcasts, for the hiring of writers and radio artists, and for all contacts with schools. In practice, while the above limits are broadly observed, it has been found valuable to arrange for consultation between both groups at most stages in the preparation and presentation of a broadcast. *As an illustration, during the past year this Division arranged for C.B.C. personnel to make several visits to schools to watch the actual reception and use of a school broadcast. These proved to be very helpful, and the co-operation of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in this and similar enterprises is greatly appreciated. As another indication of the degree of cooperation which is enjoyed, through the " CBC Times," the weekly programme schedule of the corporation, full publicity is regularly given to our school broadcasts at least twice a year, as well as mention on numerous other occasions. Through the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and its affiliated private stations, British Columbia school broadcasts were this year released by eleven British Columbia stations as well as over thirteen of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's repeater transmitters. In the coming year it is expected that this number will be increased by at least four. Even the Peace River area, which has no direct line connection with British Columbia origination points, is served by school broadcasts through transcriptions, so that regular British Columbia school broadcasts are received in that area with only a week's delay. Programme Offerings The broadcast-year covered thirty weeks, from the beginning of October to the end of May, and comprised 151 half-hour periods, or a total of 223 broadcasts. Of these, forty-one were shared co-operatively with the other three Western Provinces. Twenty- nine Friday broadcasts were presented as National school broadcasts, originating in Toronto for the most part. One of these was under the supervision of this Division and originated in Vancouver. Of the total broadcasts, approximately one-fifth was devoted to primary grades, two-fifths to intermediate grades, one-quarter to junior-school grades, and one-tenth to senior high-school grades. Innovations included the scheduling of a special music-activity broadcast once a week for Grades III, IV, and V. This has easily lived up to expectations, justifying for it a permanent place in the British Columbia school-broadcast schedule. An experiment that proved very popular was the presentation in three parts, at two-week intervals, of the actual preparation and production of a school play. Several hundred schools accepted the offer of scripts for the play, and a great many actually produced the play following its radio performance. Another series in Effective Living was well received by high schools. During the year the City of Los Angeles made arrangements through this Division to broadcast to its schools transcriptions of an earlier group of these British Columbia school broadcasts. K 132 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 One other highlight of the year's programmes was the Art series, without doubt the best of these series so far. From the hundreds of encouraging samples of work received by this office, effective displays were built up for showing at the Easter Teachers' Convention and at the Summer Schools in Victoria and at the University of British Columbia. Three British Columbia school broadcasts this year received awards in national and international educational competitions. Teaching Services (a) Printed Aids.—In addition to 4,600 copies each of two issues of the Teachers' Bulletin, over 5,500 mimeographed copies of French scripts were sent out to schools, 1,700 copies of the Art Bulletin, 500 copies of the play " The Man in Red," and well over 15,000 copies of the student music guide prepared jointly by the four Western Provinces. With the regular issues of the Teachers' Bulletin went mimeographed copies of songs and hectograph map material. This aspect of British Columbia school broadcasts has unobtrusively reached considerable proportions during the last few years and must now be considered one of the major activities of the Division. (b) Teacher-training.—As in former years, contact was maintained with both Provincial Normal Schools. It is clear that a relatively small amount of time spent at the teacher-training institutions discussing school broadcasts produces most encouraging results, and it is hoped that future years will see this service placed on an even more secure footing. A course in " The Radio in Education " was given at the 1951 Summer School of Education, ninety-two teachers registering and a great many more showing interest in it. (c) School-visits.—With the idea of guiding teachers in the field as well as receiving their comments, the regular programme of school-visits was continued. In addition to periodic visits to schools in the vicinity of Victoria and Vancouver, one week of intensive school-visiting was carried out by the Director and Assistant Director in Districts Nos. 24, 25, 30, 32, 33, 42, and 75. Too little time, relatively, is available for this important part of the work, but an improvement has been effected this year with the placing of school- visiting on a more systematic footing than before. One hopeful aspect of the problem is the valued help that many School Inspectors are giving in including school radio listening in their school inspections. (d) Other Assistance.—As in former years, this Division has co-operated with the Correspondence Branches in preparing special material to go out to correspondence pupils. There is evidence that this part of the work is a most important one. With the addition of school sound equipment, school radio workshops are increasing. This Division has been able to help in a number of such cases in lending material and giving guidance. Teachers' Reports Nearly 200 teachers reported regularly on school broadcasts during the year. In several places, notably Burnaby and Victoria, valuable group reporting was carried on. The assistance of administrators in this connection is appreciated; it is an aspect of school broadcasts which might well grow. Seventy-three per cent of the schools of the Province made annual returns to indicate the extent of the year's listening, and this showed a total of 508 schools listening, an increase of 82 schools over the minimum figure of last year. Of those reporting, 69 per cent are using school broadcasts, and this means a minimum of 51 per cent of the schools of the Province. It should be noted that in at least thirty-four districts listening is still difficult or impossible owing to distances from transmitters. The fact that even these districts report 21 per cent of their schools listening is encouraging. Sixty-five per cent of the schools in the remaining forty-three districts are using the broadcasts. DIVISION OF SCHOOL RADIO BROADCASTS K 133 In all, 2,239 classrooms out of a reported total of 4,628 classrooms have been making use of the broadcasts. Equipment Another rapidly growing aspect of the work of this Division is the advising of schools and School Boards in the matter of equipment. It is gratifying to find an increasing number of School Boards coming to this Division for advice before preparing specifications. Of the schools reporting, 18 per cent are still without any radio equipment. Although this figure seems high, it represents a considerable reduction from the 27 per cent who were reported to have no receiving equipment last year. From what has been said above about coverage, it will also be apparent that there would be no point in having equipment in a number of schools. The goodwill and co-operation of other members of the Department of Education, of teachers, School Boards, and broadcasters, are essential to the success of the work of this Division. To these go my sincere thanks. K 134 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 DIVISION OF TESTS, STANDARDS, AND RESEARCH REPORT OF C. B. CONWAY, B.Sc, M.S., D.Paed., DIRECTOR The school-year of 1950-51 was a notable one in the life-history of the Division. A permanent location in the new Douglas Building was obtained after five years in lather cramped and inconvenient quarters, and the brightness, cleanliness, and arrangement of the new offices make working conditions much more attractive. The distribution and scoring of tests and general research should be much more efficiently carried on in the new building. The testing programme was combined with the restandardization of six Arithmetic Computation and three Arithmetic Reasoning tests for Grades III to VII in the fall of 1950. An investigation of achievement at the University Entrance level was carried out in June, 1951, for the Board of Examiners. The tests were administered to the following samples:— B.C. Arithmetic Computation III—IV— To all Grade III pupils in seventeen school districts. To all Grade IV pupils in twenty-seven school districts. To all Grade V pupils in twelve school districts. B.C. Arithmetic Computation IV-V— To all Grade IV pupils in eleven school districts. To all Grade V pupils in seventeen school districts. B.C. Arithmetic Computation V-VI— To all Grade V pupils" in eleven school districts. To all Grade VI pupils in twenty-one school districts. To all Grade VII pupils in eleven school districts. B.C. Arithmetic Reasoning IV— To all Grade III pupils in four school districts. To all Grade IV pupils in thirteen school districts. To all Grade V pupils in seven school districts. B.C. Arithmetic Reasoning V— To all Grade IV pupils in four school districts. To all Grade V pupils in eleven school districts. To all Grade VI pupils in eleven school districts. B.C. Arithmetic Reasoning VI-VII— To all Grade V pupils in four school districts. To all Grade VI pupils in eighteen school districts. To all Grade VII pupils in seven school districts. U.E. Composite Achievement Test and the Otis Quick-scoring Test of Mental Ability, Gamma, to all University Entrance candidates in alternate high schools throughout the Province. One to four tests were administered in each school district according to the requirements of sampling. The Computation tests were based chiefly on the work of the lower grade mentioned in the title but reviewed the easier processes covered in previous grades. Two forms were standardized at each grade level. The Reasoning tests consisted of items of appropriate problem-solving difficulty in which the difficulties of computation had been reduced approximately one year. Both series of tests had been constructed in 1942-43 and had been given preliminary trials in 1943-44. At that time it had not been possible to obtain a very accurate geographical sample. The two sets of norms are quite similar, nevertheless, although the 1950 Computation norms are somewhat lower. Eleven scores were obtained for each of the pupils who took the III-IV and IV-V Computation tests, four scores for V-VI Computation, and one score for each Reasoning -^-.■:.^. DIVISION OF TESTS, STANDARDS, AND RESEARCH K 135 test. This involved the hand-scoring of 31,480 papers and the recording of more than 193,000 scores. A modal-age grade norm-has been calculated for each test for each grade to which it was administered. This means that a score that is representative of pupils of normal chronological age has been reported in terms of grade levels. Percentiles and letter-grades for the 1950 modal-age groups have been calculated so that teachers may convert raw scores to scores that are more meaningful in terms of the achievement of normal pupils throughout the Province. Intermediate values have been interpolated so that the tests may now be used in any month of the school-year. Traditional norms in terms of percentiles and letter-grades also have been calculated. They are similar to but slightly lower than the 1944 norms. Norms and standards for sub-scores are now being derived and will be included in subsequent reports and test manuals. The University Entrance Composite Examination was a four-hour test of the achievement of University Entrance candidates in five fields: English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, and French. Scores in English were broken down into Language and Literature, Punctuation, and Spelling. A test of scholastic aptitude, the Otis Quick- scoring Gamma Test, also was administered so that subsequent studies might be based on pupils of equivalent native ability. Students were tested without regard to accreditation or recommendation—i.e., whether or not they were required to write the regular University Entrance Examinations. The purposes of the Composite test were:— (a) To compare the retention of knowledge of University Entrance candidates who had been recommended with that of those who were required to write the University Entrance Examinations: (b) To make comparisons between candidates from accredited and non- accredited schools: (c) To provide experimental data upon which possible changes in the University Entrance Examination system might be based: (d) To make comparisons between the comprehensive examination scores, individual subject scores, and principals' letter-grades. These studies will be continued throughout the winter of 1951-52. The scaling of Matriculation Examinations was undertaken by the Director for the •first time in the summer of 1951. Able assistance was given by Mr. Aubrey Hill and Miss Diane Sawyer. A few changes in procedure were introduced in order to obtain greater accuracy: 100 per cent samples were used whenever possible, larger graphs were drawn, and the correction for recommended students was made mathematically. Greater publicity should be given to this aspect of the treatment of University Entrance and Senior Matriculation Examinations. A common misconception is that students are being given marks to which they are not entitled or are being passed or failed arbitrarily. On the contrary, the purpose of scaling is to eliminate the variation that would occur from subject to subject and year to year, and to eliminate arbitrariness by reducing all scores to the same scale or standard of value. A new Testing Manual and Catalogue of Tests was distributed to schools at the end of the summer vacation. It has been produced in loose-leaf form so that additional information in regard to testing programmes and the use of tests can be inserted from time to time. Withdrawals from School.—The sociological problem of withdrawal from school before graduation is receiving increasing attention in Canada. In comparison with some of the other Provinces, it seems to be a relatively minor problem in British Columbia. Nevertheless, a study of the data is of value in indicating whether or not students who are inclined to leave school early consider courses at different levels to be interesting and valuable. The accompanying figure indicates that drop-outs are relatively heavy at the end of Grades VIII and X but, when the ages of pupils are taken into consideration, they are lighter from Grades IX and XI. As Grade IX is the final year of junior high school and the year in which most pupils reach the minimum school-leaving age of 15, it is K 136 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 co W > w -1 rt < z o H <!

The legal minimum age seems to have little influence on withdrawals. The greatest weakness in the holding power of our system is at the Grade X level. Most of the Grade X drop-outs are over age and could have left earlier. But they are not sufficiently mature to compete with adults in the labour market. Neither have they completed the terminal courses that would equip them to hold positions or would indicate to them that they had reached a suitable point for graduation. Fictitious percentages of enrolment sometimes have been quoted for British Columbia because allowance has not been made for immigration. The sum of those who leave and those who remain always is much greater than the original enrolment. Nevertheless, the facts are that more than half of our 1936 Grade I group reached Grade XI and 40 per cent reached the high-school graduation level. This is a creditable showing that has not been equalled in any other Province. Moreover, even if we exclude students who take commercial courses after graduation, more than half of the Grade XII students and more than one-quarter of the original group continue into higher education— i.e., education beyond the University Entrance level. One child in eight reaches the upper years of college. As 78 per cent of the Grade XII students are taking the University Programme, it would seem that our problem is not one of retention, but of guiding students of average or lower ability into courses which they will find to be of the greatest practical value.

F. M. KINSMAN, SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION During the school-year 1950-51 a total of 199 applications was considered by the Commission. Of these, twenty-two were refused—nine because the family income was higher than that set by the Commission for grant purposes, four because the pupils had not attained Grade LX standing, and nine for various other reasons. One hundred and seventy-seven applications were approved for grants, ninety-one receiving assistance for the first time, forty-five for the second year, twenty-six for the third year, and fifteen for the fourth year. Students were distributed by grades as follows: Grade IX, 48; Grade X, 52; Grade XI, 33; Grade XII, 32. During the year twelve students dropped out and grants were discontinued. Grants paid per student were as follows:— September 1 $50.00 December 15.00 March . 15.75 Total for the year, per pupil $80.75 Total for the year, all pupils 13,943.75 Expenses amounted to $51.31, leaving a balance of $4.94 from the total vote of $14,000 allocated to the "Education of Soldiers' Dependent Children Act" for the fiscal year 1950-51. THE STRATHCONA TRUST K 141 THE STRATHCONA TRUST REPORT OF T. F. ROBSON, SECRETARY, LOCAL COMMITTEE Physical Training At a meeting of the Local Committee, held on January 25th, 1951, it was decided to change the character of the awards for Physical Education. The Committee decided that, instead of cash awards, suitable shields be provided for competition in each inspectorate, to be awarded to schools judged by Inspectors to have provided the best programme of Physical Education during the school-year. Thirty-five shields were bought at a cost of $816.03 and awarded on the above basis. In addition to the awards of shields, it was decided to award six scholarships of $100 each to students doing university work toward teachers' Physical Education certificates. Awards were made to the following students: Elmer Seymour Matthews, 2536 Prior Street, Victoria, B.C.; Jean Leiper, 3475 Ash Street, Vancouver, B.C.; John A. McDiarmid, c/o Y.M.C.A., 955 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C.; Lois Evelyn Withers, 1609 Cypress Street, Vancouver, B.C.; Jean Norma Sanvido, 885 Georgia Street East, Vancouver, B.C.; and Elizabeth Enid Smith, 2716 Thirty-sixth Avenue West, Vancouver, B.C. Cadet Training The Area Cadet Officer reported that though all corps showed a decrease in attendance, the standard of training greatly improved. No new corps were formed, but several applications were received. Proficiency awards were made as follows:— Per Cent 1. North Vancouver Senior High School 90 2.

Philip Sheffield High School (M.-S.-A.) 54 No summer camp was held this year, since it was decided that the time, effort, and expense involved did not justify its further operation. Cadet Trades-training A number of changes were made in cadet trades-training. These included the inauguration of a two-week refresher course for trades-training instructors, a seven-week syllabus designed to qualify cadets in one year instead of in two, the new trade instructor basic training of the Senior Leaders' Course, and the cancellation of the trade of " operator—fire control equipment." K 142 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1950-51 Of 525 cadets authorized to attend camp, 483 enrolled and 430 completed courses, with the following results:— Course Candidates Qualified Driver-Mechanic 185 140 Operator (R/T) .'. 101 90 Senior Leader •- 119 96 Medical Assistant : 25 25 Successful cadets received a bonus of $100. In addition to trades-training, cadets participated in sports, swimming, and recreational shooting. Because of the higher standard demanded, examinations for Red Cross certificates were disappointing. Shooting The cadet D.C.R.A. team was given a period of coaching at Vernon before going to Ottawa, and the coaching was reflected in results. All of the five cadets won at least two prizes. Two prizes (Parker Hale sights) were offered at camp for the best shot and runner-up. Special Dominion Camp The national cadet camp for senior cadets at Banff, Alta., held from July 25th, 1951, to August 12th, 1951, was attended by nine British Columbia cadets. Royal Military Club Interschools Competition Eighteen teams from British Columbia entered the competition and eleven teams the D.C.R.A. competition. In first aid twenty-one junior certificates and three special certificates were obtained. In signalling, eleven Morse, five advanced Morse, and three special certificates were obtained. Financial Statement The funds at the disposal of the Committee amounted to $4,016.79, and the expenditures for the year were $2,947.23, leaving a balance of $1,069.56.
