In order to provide for these needs. the schools must have space and equipment. Basic equipment

led an educational "frill" because meets a definite need.

A wall-organized and well-round- ed school program presents many occasions when large groups of children should be assembled. Dramatic, musical, and forensic activites should be a part of the pupils' school program with the pupils participating as performers as well as spectators. One of the greatest single values in auditorium programs is in the fact that there is more pupil growth and develop- ment on stage than off. And those talents discovered in class room can well be developed on a stage in regular school auditorium pro- grams. a .

If the school is a "community school" there will be many oc- casions when large groups of adults meet in the auditorium for educa- tional, recreational, and civic pur- poses. If the school serves as a mmunity center. and it should. its auditorium should be constant- ly at the disposal of the people in the community.

In order that an auditorium perform these tasks. it must have appropriate size. stage facilities. and equipment. The auditoriums in the four public schools in Char- lottetown have been found to be generally substandard, small. con- tain inadequate facilities ,snd pre- sent a. fire hazard. Prince Street and West Kent Schools do not have stages as part of their auditorlums. An auditorium with- outoa stage limits its use and makes theatrical programs almost impossible.

An auditorium of proper size should permit the seating of the entire student body and should

be large enough to seat the par- ents of the students.

The present auditoriums, because of their small size and top-floor location, can never be "ideal" but they can' be improved. In those buildings where auditorium space has been partitioned off into class- 1'00m5. returning that space to the auditorium would aid considerably In a program for improvement. Auditorium presentations need to be considered in plans for improv- ing such facilities. '

Physical Education Facilities

If ”good health and physical fit- ness" and ”the development of the ability to balance work and play wisely and use leisure time con- structively" are to be objectives implemented by the Charlottetown schools. a program to bring these about and. facilities to make them possible must be provided. The two objectives quoted above are objectives numbers 2 and B of the "imperative needs of youth" dis- cussed previously. These two ob- jectlves pertain almost explicitly to a program in physical education. A good physical education pro- program demands a considerable amount of play space inside and outside the school building. This implies a need for a gymnasium and a. playfield at each school, It is appalling that no Charlotte- town publlc school has either a gymnasium or 'a playfield. The schools do not have basement play- courts to be used as stormy weather shelters. neither do they have hard-surfaced outdoor play- courts. All four schools are in- adequately equipped for a modern physical education program.

Hockey and rugby are the only organized games available for Char- lottetown school youth. These activities are restricted largely to the bigger boys. The; practice hoc- key ln the Forum and rugby in a community playing field. Participa- tion is largely restricted to those boys who tend to have little special ability or who lack coordination. Health and physical well-being are advanced with greater benefits to the children when the emphasis is placed on the development of such concepts as sportsmanship, fair play, self-expression. and co- operation.

It is gratifying to the survey staff to note that city playgrounds have been made available for the children of Charlottetown. A play- ground Commlssion administers the project; the playground super- visors are city employees. The sur- vey staff ,belleves this project might well be under the administra- tlon of the school, at least the joint administration of the schools and the city. Teachers who have the kind of personality and train- ing that this work demand and who are otherwise unemployed, might well be engaged as super- visors. The program could easily be expanded. to include a period of summer camping for all those who would not otherwise be able to have this kind of experience, A wholesome program of in- formal activity on city playgrounds will often do more to promote the total growth and development of youth than the more formal class- room program will. Charlottetown Is to be commended for initiating summer programs of play activities for its children and youth.
