KINGJTON con.u.EcslA're VOCATIONALT INSTITUTE 9 THE NEW TECHNICAL SCHOOL fffontinued from page 1045 Meiklejohn who, as a former chairman of the Advisory Vocational Committee, had much to do with the beginnings of the plan. Mr. Rutherford presented a very thorough account of Technical Education in Ontario since its beginning in 1910 when Dr. John Seath made a report on the establishment of Vocational Schools and advocated their development, To-day, he said, there were 35,000 attending the technical day schools and 50,000 attending the 'night classes in the Province. Mr. Rutherford assured the audience that the province had Technical Education very much at heart, and would stand behind the municipalities in this re- gard. He predicted that in five years' time Kingston would be asking for an extension to the new building, which he said he ad- mired very much. Mr. Rutherford also advocated morning prayers at the beginning of each school day. Mr. Fowler, as President of the local Trades and Labour Union introduced Mr. Tom Moore. Mr. Moore pointed out how organized labour has always supported Technical Education, and dwelt on the im- portance of Education as applied to every day life. Hon. T. A. Kidd introduced the Minister of Public Welfare, who, after expressing the regret felt by the Premier at not being able to attend, and his hope for the continu- ed success of the school in the future, went on to say that whatever course of action was contemplated by the Dominion Government, as to the building and maintenance of Tech- nical Schools, the province would always stand behind them and they would not suffer from lack of funds. The ten million grant made by the Federal authorities in 1918 was referred to by the minister. In these times of unrest, said Mr. Martin, Technical Educa- tion was a fine asset. He paid tribute to all the teachers who have such great power in their hands and are thus able to mould the. minds of the boys and girls of the nation. After the singing of the National An- them and the Benediction by Mr. Brown the most successful event was brought to a close, though we might humbly suggest that at any future gathering of this or any other kind held in the auditorium, not only should our highly efficient system of bells be dis- connected for the time being, but that, if small children are to be allowed in the gal- lery, some one in authority be placed in charge. These interruptions must have proved most disconcerting to the speakers. Taking it as a whole, we may well be proud that the whole school is at last gath- ered together under one roof. The auditor- ium gives a splendid opportunity for the production of plays and for many other school activities. Already it has been rented to various organizations in the city, and will prove itself more useful as time goes on. As to the architecture, we cannot say so much. Why all architects nowadays suf- fer from the idea that schools should re- semble factories, we do not know. Perhaps the word Technical was their inspiration, which at any rate was faithfully carried out, even to the hideous ventilators on the roof. The older section is not improved by comparison with the new one, the airiness of which can at least be commended. In the course of his speech at the open- ing, the Director of Technical Education suggested that in about five years Kingston would be asking for an extension to their building. We trust that before this is done suitable and necessary repairs be made to the academic section, so that the sharp con- trast now so apparent between the new and old be eliminated. Miss D.- Mr, H. is so modest. Miss C.- So he's been telling me. Waiter- Were you kicking about the Hies in here ? Mr. O'B.- No, I was just knocking them about with my hand. He- Which would you rather be, rich or beautiful? Mabel Brown- I should like to be rich too. jack Payne was lying on the operating table ready for an operation. Doctor-fto attendantj - Bring in Ethyl Chloride. Jack- No, doc, please don't bring any woman in here just now. Father- How are you getting along at school, my boy P r Son-- Awfully well, Dad. The teacher said that if all the boys were like me, he'd shut up the school to-morrow. -106-
