ifnrewnrir URING the past year the growth of the Collegiate Institute has continued until the attendance has fig..-ilir .V almost reached 1,000. In February the actual attendance reached 962, with 706 students in the 'E Q' UND up R Cy 22-Q Academic classes and 256. in the Vocational J i,Rf departments. The congestion has become so great that, after much careful consideration, a decision was made by the Board to submit a bylaw to provide funds to erect another building to be located on the North Side. As the bylaw has been ratified by the ratepayers and the plans have been completed, it is expected that the new school will be ready for occupation by Januarynext. For the fall term the platoon system in the Commercial Department will be adopted, to take care of the increased numbers. Not only has the attendance increased, but the scope of the school has been broadened during the past two years. In the day classes a student has the option of the following six courses: Teachers, Matriculation, Household Economics, Machine Shop, Commercial and Special Motor Mechanics Courses. Last year four girls, taking the Household Economics Course, received their Second Class Certificates. At the end of the present term ten girls and four boys will sit for Second Class Examinations in Household Economics and Machine Shop Work. Regina is the only centre which offers these courses. The night classes offer an opportunity to any adult to con- tinue his or her education along many lines. Hundreds are taking advantage of these classes and the attendance was 780 in 1921-22. Many graduates of the day classes in the Commercial Department continue their studies by taking the evening classes in Accountancy. During the past year the day and evening classes met the needs of 1,500 students. The health of the students is linked up with their exercises in physical culture and sports. Each student is given a thorough medical examination and corrective exercises are suggested. The aim of the staff is to encourage the students in correct habits of living. All the students are expected to take an active part in at least one game, and this training will be of great benefit in after life. At the same time every student must make good in his or her class standing before becoming a memberiof a first team. The R stands for proficiency in studies as well as in sports. Thus the Collegiate offers a Well-balanced training for all of its students.
