e Inspector’s Message H. A. Mouritsen In my message to the graduates last year I stated that we were -standing on the threshold of a new era for education in Manitoba. -This prediction has now become a reality iin a large pant of our province. Although the major change has occurred ' in the -administration of secondary educ¬ ation, many added features were adopted which will benefit all levels and all phases of education. The secondary pupils of the future can expect to enjoy the following advantages which their -predecessors did not have. (1) For the first time in Manitoba, every boy and girl who desires a secondary ed¬ ucation Will have the right to attend a high school. (2) The high school programme will be more versatile and more flexible to meet the varying needs of the pupils. (3) There will be specialized instruction a- vailable in the important academic, techni¬ cal and vocational subjects. (4) There will be an opportunity for the pupils to attain a higher standard of a- chievement in all subjects, made possible by improved instruction and better facilities. (5) The pupils will have the opportunity to work and play with a larger group of youth at their own age level. Although the graduates of 1959 will not enjoy the benefits of the new plan, they can serve those Who are to follow by shouldering their share of -the responsibil¬ ity of obtaining the objective which will guarantee that every pup ' il in the future who desires a secondary education will be able to gat it by right and not by chance. To the graduates, my sincere congrat¬ ulations for a job well done. For each of you I wish a good life filled with your share of good health, happiness and peace of mind, H. A. Mouritsen, B.Sc., B.Ed., M.Ed. Inspector of Schools 7
