inclination,

The new departments that have

been added are so different from what one finds in most Island schools that they are here ox- plalned in detail. Before going into them. however. it might be interesting to have some outline of Mr. Mercer's ideas and at the request of a Guardian reporter he has set them down. Mr. Mercer says: "The school is a reflection of the community. Like town, like school. Let me see your school and you need not show me your community. The school is the community; and the community is the school. These are inseparable. This means utilizing the com- munlty and its resources for edu- cation. It means also sharing the school's resources for community well-being. The mark of a pro- gressive community is the lighted school house whether it be in vil- lage or in town.

”Tl'iCI'C is a progressive spirit everywhere in this Province and that shortly will be reflected in the schools. The picture I have given is an all Canadian picture, but there is no reason why this ,Pl:m:lnce should not be among the first to take the lead in educational research and practise."

l Under Mr. Mercer's supervision .at the Summcrslde High a number of new departments have been (added. important facilities provid-

led and various minor changes made. These are outlined as fol- lows:

TECHNICAL CLASS: Ilnstituted this year for boys who prefer a more practical type of education than that offered by the present acadcmical course. Here 50 per cent of the time is spent on Draft-

is a two year course open to those havin Grade X certificate. and a one y ar course for those having Grade XI or higher. It consists of Accounting, Business English. Typ- ing, Shorihand. Business Arithme- tic. Filing and Office Procedure. This course, commenced this fall. is designed for those who do not wish to go to college bilt who pro-

fer training for the clerical oc- cupations.

MANUAL TRAINING: This course was instituted in 1948

through it public appeal for hand tools resulting in the Y”s Men's Club equipping the shop to the value of SL000. Sllbscqucntly the Town Council through the School Board made an annual grant of 3300. This course is given to Grade VII. VIII and IX boys while the girls are attending Homemak- ing Classes.

I-IOMEMAKING COURSE: Or- ganized in 1948. Summerside High School has one of the most modern Homemaking rooms ill the Mari- iimes. These potential homcmakcrs come from Grades VII in XI for instruction 3 periods a week for each class. The School Board in- stalled in this room two electric ranges. washing machine, ihrree sewing machines. tubs. sinks and the like. The Y's Men's Club do- nated an electric refrigerator, and the Home and School Association bought various utensils. Credit is given on the Grade XI level for Homemaking in place of Physics for those wishing to enter House- hold Economics courses in Uni- versity or who wish to enter the Nursing Profession.

MUSIC: In 1945 the first music teacher was appointed to the staff. Apart from the auditorium a music room has recently been opened containing a piano given by the Home and School Association. The

CUMULATIVE RECORDS: A cumulative record is kept for every one of the 864 students. This is a record not only of his class- room marks but covers as well his

appea rance. courtesy. assurance. dependability, effort, emotional control. initiative and sociability.

There is a place for his I.Q. as shown by aptitude tests and all sorts of other information is shown as well as the date of his school leaving and the job entered. Such a record is indispensible to the employer and the school. In A large school to kee such records clerical help is nee ed. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE: Vo- cal guidance was introduced in 1946 and a corner of the library ia known as the Vocational Guid- ance corner. There a large fie of occupational information is.al- ways on display. Standardized tests covering menial ability as well as interests tests are given once or twice a you in Grade VIII and over. These are recorded on the cumulative record. To do ef- feciive work a large school re- quires the services of a full time counsellor.

All of the above adds up to a considerable departure f r o in things as they were and things as they are today in most schools. When it was suggested to Mr. Mercer that he probably has more plans for the future. he said that he would like to see a gymnasium built equipped with showers and maybe a swimming pool. Around this gymnasium would be modern classrooms of the Senior High School including workshops. labor- atories. domestic science units and commercial departments. Every evening the doors would swing open to the street for the young adults and the programmes would be directed by a trained super-

LIBRARY: Opened in 1947 and containing 3.000 volumes. the lib- rary accommodates 100 pupils. on duty from 1.30 to 5 pm. daily is a teacher-librarian. At other times the litberary is available to dividual students for study. VISUAL EDUCATION: Educa- tional pictures are shown to groups of classes on Thursday afternoons. Each picture is previewed and the preview is passed on to the class. After the showing it is followed by a class discussion or used as a basis for composition. Projection units include a movie projector. view master projector, delinea- scope. and strip film projector. These and the screen were brought by the students or donated by in- dividuals. The school looks for- ward to a full time projectionist who will correlate each picture to classroom needs and conduct the discussion period following each showing.

AUDIO EDUCATION: This may be classified under three headings. (a) The CBC School Broadcasts relayed over the public address system to rooms concerned. This unit was given to the school in 1946 by the Kinsmen Club. In ad- dition to the 36 radio amplifiers in the rooms. there is the control panel with its radio, microphone and phonograph. The microphone and system is used for broadcasting facilities within the school. lb) Recording machines which were donated by the students council. are used particularly during stu- dent assembly broadcast so that students participating may hear the re-broadcast immediately fol- lowing the radio presentation. (c) French is taught in Grade V11 by the use of recordings and accom- panying text books. This lin- guaphone set of records was a gift to the school by money raised by the school pupils. The 72 lessona of the book are contained on the 36 recordings and are given by a French professor while the stu- dents follow with their texts. The stress at this stage is not on the rules of grammar but on apprecia- tion and diction.

RADIO BROADCASTING: Once every week for two years on Fri- day morning the voice of Sum- merslde High School comes into every home in the town and sur- rounding districts. This is done by broadcasting 'the Assembly pro-
