PAGE 6 TERRACE BAY NEWS MARCH 9, 1972 SCHREI BER me sn ce cn se ese ne ADVISORY VOCATI ONAL COMMITTEE The February 16, meeting of the Advisory Vocat - ional Committe (Lake Superior Board of Education), was att ended by three trustees, four appointees, three school principals, E.J. Morgan, Director of Education, M. Vaske and Mrs. M. Moloney. Program Consultants. The problem of the provision of educational oppor- tunities of a vacational nature to students of this jur- isdictiun was presented. In view of the rather static enrollment (with slight increases in secondary enrol- Iment for the next two or three years with comes ding drop in elementary enrolment), there is no possibility of adding programs, but rather a matter of substitution and no building expansion is possible in the near fut- ure. The program consultants made thorough presentations regarding the new philosophy and practices involved in the industrial arts and home economics programs. It was pointed out that for conversion of exisiting facilities to accommodate industrial arts and home economics, there is a 90 per cent grant on structural work involved and for equipments grants up to $12,000 for industrial arts $7,000 for home economics, (general) $6,000 for foods and nutrition room, and $6,000 for clothing and textiles room. As no grants were received previously for convers- ion of the Manitouwadge High School, the grants for structural changes are still available there. Room sizes - Home economic, all purpose - 1200 X 1350 sq. ft., Food and Nutrition = 1100 X 1350 sq. ft., clothing and textile = 1000 X 1250 sq. ft. It was suggested that: (a) industrial arts and home economics programs be expanded in the Manitouwadge High School to allow for a program in years one and two, covering drafting, electricity and electronics, woodwork, welding, and power mechanics, with spec ialization in two areas in years three and four- If is hoped, to be ready in September 1972.

Home economics will be introduced in Lake Superior High School in September 1972.
