EXPANSION IN EDUCATION During the school-year 1963/64 virtually every aspect of education was affected ] and some outstanding developments occurred in the Provincial educational system, j The necessary changes in the elementary- and secondary-school curriculum | have been proceeding in an orderly manner since 1961, following the submission j of the Report of the Royal Commission on Education. The academic-technical pro- 1 gramme for Grades XI and XII is now being finalized, while other programmes of a 1 vocational nature are in advanced stages of development. In this connection, during ] the summer of 1963 workshops were held at the Burnaby Vocational School to draft ] new courses for the commercial, industrial, community services, and visual and j performing arts programmes. During 1964 this work was continued and will be j completed by the summer of 1965, when attention will be focused on vocational agriculture. This will complete the original pattern for reorganizing or modifying the curriculum for the senior secondary schools of the Province. As a result of such developments, the holding power or the retention of pupils in the secondary schools | should continue to increase. The public-school system is already retaining about 70 per cent of its pupils to the Grade XII level. It can confidently be expected that '• in the future all but a very small group of pupils will complete some type of pro gramme by the end of Grade XII and the first students will graduate on it in June of 1967. All of these new programmes and courses at both the junior-and secondary- school level are designed to give greater purpose and meaning to the studies of all types of pupils in the secondary schools. The Provincial regional vocational schools have the responsibility for specific trades training, retraining and pre-apprenticeship training, rehabilitative training, and up-grading in a variety of skills to meet the immediate man-power needs of industry and commerce. Regional vocational schools are already in operation in Burnaby, Nanaimo, Prince George, Kelowna, Nelson, and Victoria (pilot project), and Van couver Vocational Institute in Vancouver. Plans are in hand for similar schools in Dawson Creek, Victoria, Kamloops, and Terrace. These 10 regional vocational schools, when completed, should serve the occupational needs of the Province ade quately for some years to come. The British Columbia Institute of Technology has been completed and will admit its first students in September of 1964. It will accommodate approximately 1,500 students in a two-year programme and is designed to give secondary-school graduates an opportunity to obtain training within the Province in some 17 tech nologies appropriate to their needs. The institute is a very new, significant, and practical development in the field of post-secondary education. Some progress has been made toward establishing district and regional colleges in the West Kootenay and Okanagan regions and in the City of Vancouver. The proposed Vancouver District College will admit its first students in 1965, while the West Kootenay College expects to open in September, 1966. In the Okanagan Valley initial planning is being done to establish a regional college in that area. All of these colleges will offer two-year academic programmes as well as a variety of other programmes of a post-secondary nature in keeping with the needs of the par ticular area to be serviced. Three public universities—the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, and Simon Fraser University—are engaged in building programmes in various stages, while the private university, Notre Dame University of Nelson, is likewise developing its facilities. In particular Simon Fraser University is making rapid progress in the construction of new buildings in preparation for receiving its REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT N 37 first students in September, 1965. While these universities will expand their under graduate programmes, the University of British Columbia has announced an in creased emphasis in the area of postgraduate work and in the greater development of its professional schools. It is anticipated that all four of these institutions will develop their individual characteristics through diversity, yet they will retain suffici ent uniformity through mutual evaluation and discussion. In order to facilitate the work of the universities and the junior colleges, an Academic Board was established in November, 1963. This Board will have the responsibility for co-ordinating the various programmes and for research as to the future needs of higher education in the Province. The Board is already making an important contribution in advising the Honourable the Minister on various aspects of higher education. It would appear, then, that at all levels of public education much progress is being made and that great care is being taken to see that all young people in the Province receive the type of instruction most appropriate to their requirements, for no educational system should neglect either the young person of low scholastic apti tude or the student who is capable of the most advanced postgraduate work. In all these aspects of education the youth of British Columbia is being well served.
SPECIAL TRANSFERS AND SENIOR STAFF CHANGES In June of 1964, Mr. G. W. Graham, formerly Assistant Superintendent (Administration), and Mr. E. E. Hyndman, former Chief Inspector, transferred to the field as District Superintendents of Schools, the former being assigned to School District No. 38 (Richmond), and the latter to School District No. 62 (Sooke). During the period they were in the Department each man, in his way, made a marked contribution to education in this Province. Mr. Graham, among his many and varied duties, was concerned mainly with school planning and school construction in all its aspects. In this role he had the respect of the School Boards of the Province by his honest and fair-dealing practices. To a considerable degree he was also responsible for outlining proposed legislation in respect to the public-school system of the Province. He was a loyal and co operative member of the Department who will be greatly missed by his colleagues. Mr. Hyndman, who became Chief Inspector in 1958, began his work by organ izing the Province into supervisory zones in order to work more effectively with District Superintendents and School Boards. During the six years he served as Chief Inspector he won the confidence and esteem of the various groups with whom he had to deal and was generally respected for his practical philosophy of education. In addition to his regular work, he was responsible for setting up the annual Depart mental conference and for directing the biennial principals' conference. Both Mr. Graham and Mr. Hyndman will continue to be associated with the Department, but in a different capacity. Their wide range of friends throughout the Province will wish them well in their new responsibilities. Dr. W. A. Plenderleith became Assistant Superintendent in charge of Adminis tration in June, 1964, in succession to Mr. G. W. Graham. Dr. Plenderleith came into the Department in 1933 as a Provincial School Inspector and was assigned to the Peace River Inspectorate. He subsequently became director of the experimental larger administrative unit in that area. He also served in a similar capacity as director of the Matsqui-Sumas-Abbotsford and Nanaimo units. Following a short period as Inspector of Schools for the Saanich and Sooke School Districts, he came into the Department in 1954 as Co-ordinator of Special Services. Dr. Plenderleith is a graduate of the University of British Columbia and holds postgraduate degrees 1 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1
in education from the University of Alberta and the University of Toronto. He is the author of the Plenderleith Report pertaining to New Brunswick, and on the basis of the recommendations contained therein, that Province organized larger adminis-
Mr. Johann Phillipson, District Superintendent of Schools at Prince George, replaced Dr. Plenderleith as Co-ordinator of Special Services. Mr. Phillipson, who was appointed a District Superintendent in 1958, served as District Superintendent of Schools in Prince Rupert until 1961, when he was transferred to Prince George. Mr. Phillipson is a graduate of the University of British Columbia and later received a Bachelor of Education degree. He is a past president of the British Columbia Teachers' Federation. Mr. W. D. Reid became Chief Inspector of Schools in June, 1964, succeeding Mr. E. E. Hyndman. Mr. Reid joined the Department in 1956 and served as a District Superintendent of Schools at Campbell River. In 1960 he was appointed District Superintendent of School District No. 37 (Delta) and the University Hill School District. Mr. Reid received his early education in Victoria and attended Victoria Normal School. In 1946 he graduated from the University of British Columbia and in 1961 received his Master of Education degree from the University of Washington. He served in the Canadian Army overseas, holding the rank of captain. NEW APPOINTMENTS Three District Superintendents of Schools were appointed in May, 1964. These were as follows: Mr. Patrick Grant, principal of the Cranbrook Senior Secondary School at Cranbrook; Mr. Douglas Feir, principal of the Grand Forks Senior Sec ondary School, Grand Forks; and Mr. John Leslie Canty, principal of the North Delta Secondary School. These men have had many years' successful experience in both elementary and secondary schools and come to the Department with excellent records. Other appointments made by the Department of Education include Mr. Ross Hind as Director of the Secondary School Correspondence Branch. Mr. Hind was formerly school principal and came into the Department in 1953 as Assistant Regis trar. In 1963, upon the retirement of Dr. Edith Lucas, he succeeded to the director ship. Mr. Edward Killough was appointed Assistant Registrar in succession to Mr. Hind. Mr. Killough began his teaching career at Prince George Senior Secondary School and subsequently taught at Windsor Secondary School, North Vancouver. Mr. James Cairnie and Mr. John McLoughlin, of Victoria and Peace River South respectively, were seconded to the Department of Education in June, 1964, to assist in the work of curriculum development during the school-year 1964/65. For the third successive year, personnel from elementary and secondary schools have been loaned to the Department to help in curriculum revision during the period of reorganization of the elementary- and secondary-school programmes.
RETIREMENTS Two members of the Department of Education retired during the school-year— Dr. Edith Lucas, Director of Secondary School Correspondence, and Lieut.-Col. John Napier Burnett, District Superintendent of Schools, Richmond. Dr. Lucas is a distinguished scholar as well as an administrator of note. She obtained her B.A. degree with honours in French and Latin from the University of British Columbia and upon graduation was awarded the Governor-General's Gold Medal. Later she attended the University of Paris under the terms of the Nichol REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT N 39
Scholarship and received the degree of Docteur es Lettres. Upon her return to British Columbia she became principal of the Prince Rupert High School, and in 1941 she was appointed Director of the Secondary School Correspondence Branch in Victoria. The Secondary School Correspondence Branch was greatly expanded during her tenure of office and became known throughout the North American Continent for its high standards. On a number of occasions her advice and judgment were sought by other Provinces and States. In 1961 Dr. Lucas was granted leave to go to Jamaica to establish a secondary-school correspondence programme in that country. She was an indefatigable worker and was dedicated to education as few people are. Her contribution stands as a lasting monument to her ability and scholarship. Following a period of activity in education of over 40 years, Lieut-Col. John Napier Burnett retired at the close of the school term in 1964. His teaching career, prior to his coming to the Department in 1939, was confined to Vancouver, where he taught and was principal of a number of schools in that city. Although he was appointed a Provincial School Inspector in 1939, because of his involvement in war service he did not assume his duties until 1944. He served successively in Penticton, Kamloops, and Richmond as Inspector and District Superintendent of Schools. During his career in education he was president of the British Columbia Teachers' Federation, president of the British Columbia School Inspectors' Association, and president of the Alumni Association of the University of British Columbia. For many years he was also assistant chairman of the board of management at Jericho Hill School. He was always interested in the Parent-Teacher Federation and en couraged the programme of the federation in his various districts. Lieut.-Col. Burnett has left behind him a very complete record of service to education, not only in Richmond, but in the Province as a whole. Over the years his contributions have been many and varied. His influence on education has been both beneficial and permanent. OBITUARY During the year the Department of Education suffered a severe loss in the death of John Robert Kirk, District Superintendent of Schools, Chilliwack. Mr. Kirk obtained his early education in the elementary and secondary schools of Newton, Cloverdale, and New Westminster, and later attended the Victoria Normal School. He taught in various elementary schools in Surrey from 1933 to 1937. From 1937 until his appointment as a District Superintendent, he was on the teaching staff of the New Westminster school system, where he was for one year principal of the Duke of Connaught High School. In 1954 he was appointed a District Superin tendent of Schools and served at Trail, Kimberley, and subsequently at Chilliwack, where he had been District Superintendent for six years prior to his death. He was a graduate of the University of British Columbia and obtained his M.A. degree in education at the University of Washington. During his career he lectured at Summer School sessions at the University of British Columbia and served on mathematics revision committees, where his special knowledge and experience contributed to the advancement of education. Mr. Kirk led a very active life and was prominent in community affairs as well as in the professional field. His competence and leader ship as a District Superintendent were widely acknowledged.
CONFERENCES A successful three-day Departmental conference was held during the Easter vacation, 1964. The emphasis at this conference was devoted to various aspects of 1 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64 the new secondary-school organization and revised curriculum content. Repre sentatives from the Colleges of Education participated in the conference along with the District Superintendents of Schools and members of the Department. The major responsibility for directing this successful event fell to the lot of Mr. E. E. Hyndman, former Chief Inspector of Schools. The fourth biennial conference of principals and vice-principals, held in the summer of 1964, is included in this Report, since all of the planning and the arrange ments for the conference were made in the previous school-year. As in the past, four major groups involved in education — namely, the British Columbia School Trustees' Association, the British Columbia Teachers' Federation, the College of Education (U.B.C.), and the Department of Education—sponsored the conference. Altogether, 85 principals and vice-principals were in attendance on the campus of the University of British Columbia, where facilities were provided in terms of con ference rooms, library, recreational facilities, and dormitory accommodation. The central theme of the conference in 1964 was " The Role of the Principal in School Organization." The credit for the successful direction of this conference must go to Mr. E. E. Hyndman, Chief Inspector, and to Dr. Walter Hartrick of the College of Education, University of British Columbia, who organized the programme which provided a stimulating and informative experience for all those who were fortunate enough to be in attendance.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The school-year 1963/64 was an exceptionally busy period, not only because of the continuing reorganization of the elementary- and secondary-school pro gramme, but also owing to developments in the field of higher education and in the expansion of facilities in the vocational and technical field. Near the close of the year some staff reorganization occurred within the Department, previously referred to in this Report. In this connection I am deeply indebted to everyone for their patience, understanding, and co-operation. Throughout the year an immense amount of work was accomplished, and I am grateful for the contribution made by every member of the staff. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. F. K. ENGLISH, Superintendent of Education. ADMINISTRATION BRANCH
ADMINISTRATION BRANCH
REPORT OF G. W. GRAHAM, B.A., ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION (ADMINISTRATION) Provincial legislation places the operation and maintenance of the public schools under the jurisdiction of the locally elected Boards of School Trustees of the school district. There are 83 large school districts in the Province; these include 72 classified as municipal school districts because they include a municipality within their boundaries, and 11 are classified as rural school districts. In the more isolated sections of the Province there are 18 small school districts, commonly referred to as unattached school districts. These include the Municipal School District of Zeballos. With the exception of Tahsis and University Hill, each unattached school district contains one school. A School Board may be composed of three, five, seven, or nine trustees, as determined by the Minister of Education. There are at present 15 Boards with nine trustees, 38 Boards with seven trustees, 28 Boards with five trustees, and 4 Boards with three trustees. A trustee is elected for a two-year term of office. The election of trustees within a municipality is in accordance with the Muni cipal Act, and the election of trustees within the rural area of a school district is in accordance with the Public Schools Act. This allows rural trustees to be elected at large in the rural area of the school district or in an attendance zone, or to be elected by representatives who were elected at annual meetings of attendance areas. There has been no appreciable trend toward election at large, and, as in previous years, the Minister of Education has been called upon to appoint many attendance- area representatives because of the failure of voters to elect representatives. Five of the unattached school districts have School Boards, while the remain ing 13 are administered by Official Trustees appointed by the Council of Public Instruction. School construction continues throughout the Province on the trend which has been established over the past decade. The Province meets at least 50 per cent of the capital costs of that which it considers as essential for school-sites, buildings, and equipment. While the essential requirements for schools have been determined for the sharing of costs, a School Board may, when planning its building, add features and details for which the De partment does not share the cost. Because capital funds are provided by the sale of school-district debentures, two types of referenda are submitted to the electors; those which are eligible for Government grant and those which are not eligible for Govern ment grant. Funds provided under the respective classification are commonly re ferred to as shareable and non-shareable capital funds. During the school-year 53 referenda were submitted for approval by Order in Council. The electors of the respective school district approved 48 of these, totalling $46,000,000. The number of school contracts let for this same period total $12,- 500,000. The trend would indicate that the volume of school consrtuction will
The School Planning Division continues to provide Department plans for ele mentary schools when requested by school districts. The volume of work undertaken remains fairly constant at approximately $2,000,000 per year. N 42 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
All pupils who live in isolated areas where neither school accommodation nor transportation is available may apply for correspondence work from the Corres pondence Branch of the Department. In conjunction with the Correspondence Branch, and under section 20 of the Public Schools Act, if four or more pupils in Grades I to X, inclusive, are assembled for the regular school hours and are tutored by a qualified instructor, the Province may make a grant of $15 per month toward the salary of the instructor for each pupil doing satisfactory work. There were 15 classes enrolling 77 pupils in operation this year. While it is required that instructors of elementary grades must have completed secondary school and instructors of sec ondary grades must have a teacher's certificate or two years of university training, it is very difficult to attain this standard. The trend towards integration of Indian children into the public-school system continues. Where such is undertaken by School Boards it is customary for the Federal Government to contribute toward the capital cost of the accommodation required. This is done through direct agreement with the School Board of the dis trict. There are 2,200 Indian pupils enrolled in the public schools in 63 of the 83 large school districts, and in 8 of the 17 unattached school districts. The majority of this enrolment is in the school districts along the Coastal area of the Province, however, the enrolment of Indian children in the Interior school districts of Lillooet, South Cariboo, Fraser Canyon, Merritt, Keremeos, Enderby, Barriere, and Chilcotin is appreciable. When Indian children attend public school the Federal Government pays a tuition fee of $25 per month per child as per the agreement between the Pro vincial and Federal Government. Similar patterns of agreement exist between the School Boards, the Department of National Defence, and the Province, when the pupils from National Defence Bases attend the public schools.

Instructional Services
REPORT OF F. P. LEVIRS, M.A., M.S.(Ed.), ASSISTANT SUPERIN TENDENT OF EDUCATION (INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES) Instructional services include the work of the following divisions, each of which has its own director and submits its own annual report: Curriculum; Tests and Standards; Secondary School Correspondence; Elementary School Correspondence; Visual Education; School Broadcasts; Home Economics; Jericho Hill School; and the Textbook Branch. In addition, there are aspects of instructional services that do not readily fall under any of the above-named divisions; these form the substance of this report.
ACCREDITATION OF SCHOOLS The Accrediting Committee considered 95 applications for accreditation, accrediting 52 schools as follows: 6 for four years; 24 for three years; 8 for two years, and 14 for one year. Three schools were accredited for the first time and three returned to the list of accredited schools after suggested improvements had been made. No school was dropped from the list. The total number of accredited schools is now 108, a gain of 5 over the previous year. Consolidation of schools accounts for the loss of one school in the total calculation.
ADULT EDUCATION On the interrupted general programme for adults, the offering of secondary- school courses for credit was approved in various night schools and adult day schools as follows:— ^T
TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS The shortage of teachers fully qualified to teach in secondary schools is still great and shows no major sign of diminishing. There were 167 teachers with only elementary certificates (less than four years of training) teaching academic subjects in Grade X and higher levels. Of these, all but 32 had improved their standing in the last five years and 74 had taken one or more courses within the last year. Distri bution of the teachers by certification is shown in the table below:— N 44 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
DISTRIBUTION OF GRADE VHI PUPILS IN PROGRAMMES According to reports submitted by District Superintendents in June, 1963, 25,077 pupils in Grade VII classes were recommended for the regular Grade VHI programme, 1,367 recommended to take the Occupational programme, and 1,758 were asked to repeat Grade VII. The comparable figures in 1962 were: 24,564, 1,550, and 1,821. In September of 1963, there were 28,292 Grade VIII pupils on the regular programme and, of these, 26,705 were receiving instruction in French 8. The number on the first year of the Occupational Programme was 2,219. Comparable figures for September of 1962 were: 27,850, 25,695, and 2,457.
MOST FREQUENTLY CHOSEN ADVANCED ELECTIVES The 10 advanced electives most frequently chosen by students were, in order of rank: Chemistry 91, Biology 91, Mathematics 91, English 91, Physics 91, Geography 91, English 93, History 91, Home Economics 91, and French 92. The only change from the previous year was in the order of the first three, with Chemistry coming up from third place to thrust down Biology and Mathematics.

The number of Grade VHI pupils in small elementary school dropped to 123 from 246 in the previous year. It is unlikely that this figure will decrease furtheir, as there will always be some pupils taking Grade VHI correspondence courses in isolated elementary schools. The number of Grade VII pupils still enrolled in secondary schools dropped to 8,449 from 12,902. There was also a significant drop from 26,647 to 15,787 in the total number of elementary pupils enrolled in schools also housing secondary pupils. This is half the number of only two years ago. The hypothetical median British Columbia secondary school enrols 387 secon dary pupils and has a total instructional staff of about 17.5 teachers.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES Work in connection with the reorganization of the school system has been the chief activity in this Branch. Complete plans have now been issued, although much still remains to be done in the fields of course planning and curriculum revision. Most of this is covered in the Division of Curriculum report.
Division of Curriculum REPORT OF J. R. MEREDITH, B.A., B.ED., M.ED., DIRECTOR The year 1963/64 was a year of intensive work in the revision and reorgani zation of the curriculum for the public schools of British Columbia. Seventeen specific subject revision committees met frequently during the year. In addition, the two Professional Committees concerned with the elementary- and the secondary- school curriculum met every month. A total of 133 persons were involved as members of these committees. Over 150 meetings were held in the 10-month period from September, 1963, to June, 1964. In terms of the total number of member- hours, these meetings represent close to 3,000 hours of curriculum-development work. These figures do not include the work of other committees, such as the School Library Book Selection Committees, who work during the year on services related to the curriculum. It may be of some significance to note that the assistance given by members of all these committees is voluntary and for the most part is given outside of the regular working-day. The programme of revision and reorganization is under the general direction of the Assistant Superintendent (Instruction) and the Director of Curriculum and a small office staff. To assist in this work two special curriculum consultants were engaged on a temporary basis with the co-operation of the Boards of School Trus tees for the school districts of Vancouver and Burnaby. The two consultants were Mr. J. S. Church (Vancouver) and Mr. E. L. Thomas (Burnaby). Both Mr. N 48 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
Church and Mr. Thomas gave invaluable assistance to the Division. Their contri bution to education in co-ordinating committee work and in giving leadership to particular revisions is very much appreciated.
COURSE REVISIONS AND TEXTBOOK CHANGES The following summarizes the particular revisions undertaken during the
(1) Revision in the programme for reading, spelling, writing, and composition in Grades I to VII was begun. The Grade I year of this programme was completed with new prescribed readers for September, 1964. (2) Revision in the elementary-school arithmetic programme was continued and a new course with a new prescribed text was developed for Grade VI for September, 1964. (3) A study of the schedule of time-allotments for elementary-school subjects was undertaken and revisions were recommended to allow for increased attention to the subjects of English and Arithmetic and for increased flexibility in time-tables for particular classes. (4) Revision of the secondary-school English programme was continued and a new course with 10 new texts was completed for Grade IX for Sep tember, 1964. (5) Revision of the secondary-school mathematics programme was continued and new courses for Grade X and Grade XIH were completed with new texts for September, 1964. (6) Revision of the junior secondary-school science programme was begun. (7) Revision of the junior secondary-school French programme was continued and a new course was completed with new texts for Grade X for Sep tember, 1964. (8) Revision of the Physics courses for Grades XI and XII was undertaken and a new course for Grade XI was completed with new texts for Sep tember, 1964. (9) Revisions of the Chemistry and Biology courses for Grades XI and XII were begun. (10) Revision of the courses in German for Grades IX to XII were begun. (11) A new three-year programme was completed, called the Occupational Programme, for pupils entering secondary school but unable to benefit from the regular curriculum. (12) Experimental work in the teaching of music was undertaken. (13) A workshop was held for the purpose of developing new or revised courses in general vocational fields as a part of the reorganization of the secondary- school curriculum. A total of 17 such courses was prepared in draft form under the direction of this Division with the assistance of the Divi sion of Technical and Vocational Education. Most of the foregoing revisions involved changes in prescribed textbooks. A total of 30 new titles was selected, prescribed, and provided to schools. The majority of these were replacing texts which were out of date or out of print. The others were additional texts for new courses such as English.
CURRICULUM REORGANIZATION Some of the foregoing revisions and textbook changes were undertaken as part of a continuing programme of keeping the curriculum up to date. Most, however, CURRICULUM AND GENERAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES N 49 are directly related to the findings of the Royal Commission on Education. One of the most significant recommendations of the Commission had to do with the reorganization of the secondary school. A detailed plan for the new junior sec ondary school, Grades VIII to X, was completed in 1962. During the year 1963/64, specific attention was given to planning the details of the new senior secondary school. These plans were virtually completed and will be implemented at the Grade XI level in September, 1965.
INFORMATION AND RELATED SERVICES In addition to specific revision and reorganization work the Division also under took certain informational services, including the preparation and distribution of curriculum guides, lists of recommended library books, and the preparation and distribution of the regular curriculum, administrative, announcement, and teaching- aid circulars of the Department of Education. The mailing list of those receiving this material now numbers close to 2,000. Related work included participation in the Canadian Education Association Short Course for Superintendents, provision of addresses for various public and professional groups, and occasional attendance at educational conventions and conferences. ACKNOWLEDGMENT A specific word of acknowledgment and appreciation should be extended to the members of the Department committees and the staff of other Divisions of the Department. The assistance of these individuals has greatly facilitated the work of this Division and has made a significant contribution to the improvement of the curriculum. 1 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64

These grants are given in cases where there are insufficient pupils beyond Departmental walk limits to establish a regular bus route. During the school-year, 2,000 pupils from 67 districts utilized this means of conveyance at a total cost of $302,159.

1957— ~ : IZZ 111 ll 1 SCHOOL DORMITORIES In many isolated rural sections of the large school districts, it is impossible for the School Boards to provide transportation services for secondary pupils who desire to attend centralized secondary schools. In order to enable these pupils to attend secondary schools that offer a full high-school programme, authority to operate school dormitories is given to School Boards. The following table provides data respecting the dormitories that were in operation during 1963/64:—
BOARDING ALLOWANCES For pupils who are unable to take advantage of transportation or dormitiza- tion, the School Board is empowered to provide a boarding allowance. Under this arrangement a pupil can receive up to $30 per month on a basis shared by the Department of Education. During the past school-year 1963/64, there were 619 pupils from 58 school districts who received a total of $183,850 in such boarding allowances. JERICHO HILL SCHOOL ADVISORY BOARD This Board consists of representatives from the Deaf and the Blind Parent- Teacher Association, the Vancouver School Board, and the Department of Educa-
The Advisory Board met once each school month during 1963/64 and provided monthly reports to the Department respecting the operation of the Jericho Hill School. The accompanying report of Dr. C. E. MacDonald, the Superintendent of the Jericho Hill School, contains the pertinent statistics relating to the enrolment in the school. PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
DIVISION OF TESTS AND STANDARDS
REPORT OF C. B. CONWAY, B.Sc, M.S., D.P_JD., DIRECTOR In the school-year 1963/64 nine scholastic aptitude and achievement tests were administered to 31,613 Grade VII pupils and 2,687 pupils enrolled in one or more Grade XIII subjects. The Grade VII pupils that were tested included: 29,204 in the five categories of B.C. public schools that enrol Grade VII; 22 in a boys' industrial school; 1,724 in B.C. private schools that applied to be tested; 406 in B.C. Indian schools; and 257 in schools in the Yukon Territory. The scholastic-aptitude test that was actministered in Grade VH was the Henmon-Nelson Test of Mental Ability, Grades 6-9, Form A; the achievement tests were the reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, language, and arithme tic reasoning and computation sub-tests of the Stanford Achievement Test, Ad vanced Form L. In both cases B.C. pupils' scores were considerably higher than those of the U.S. pupil population on which the tests were standardized. The median M.A. on the Henmon-Nelson test was 14-9 on March 11th, the median I.Q. was 112, and with a norm of 7.6 the B.C. achievement means ranged from 8.2 to 9.1 in terms of grade equivalents. The scholastic-aptitude norms were almost identical to those obtained from the Henmon-Nelson Form B in 1962, which indicates that a true population difference probably exists and that the two forms are truly equivalent. Within the Province the usual trend occurred from the south-west corner of the Province in a northerly and easterly direction.

The scholastic aptitude of Grade XIII students of 1964 proved to be almost identical to that of the students tested in 1960, although the number tested increased from 1,676 to 2,687. Two tests were administered this year to equivalent half samples so that comparable data may be obtained in the future if either test is used. The purpose of this testing, which is repeated at intervals of three or four years, is to control over-all graduation standards and the relationship of one subject to another. Remarkable consistency in the selectivity of different courses has been shown over the 12-year period during which the testing has been carried on. For example, making allowance for the 4.2-month interval in testing between 1960 and 1964, the following results were obtained: DIVISION OF TESTS AND

The mean D.G.T.L.C. I.Q. of Grade XHI students was 115.8 in 1964, which may be compared with the mean of 115.7 for Grade XIII in 1960 and the mean of 115.1 obtained for Grade XII University Programme students in 1958. An increasing tendency for those on the academic programme to make Grade XIII the terminal year of secondary school rather than the first year of college is becoming evident. Preliminary enrolment in September, 1964, is 3,686 versus 2,957 in 1963 and 1,383 in 1960. As this four-year increase corresponds only to the first small expansion in the post-war elementary school population it is largely the result of increasing retention rather than increasing population. While the corresponding elementary grade base rose 27.5 per cent, Grade XHI retention has risen 110 per cent. We now have 15.2 per cent of our elementary-school popula tion entering Grade XIII. It is also interesting to note that B.C. Grade XIH enrol ment plus " first-year " university in the fall of 1964 is approximately the same as the June total of university-programme graduates. Obviously the number of stu dents withdrawing after completing U.P. Grade XII is no greater than the number of adults, repeaters, non-residents, and students with interrupted programmes who
Retention to Grade XII has also, of course, been rising rapidly. When this is combined with the effect of the first post-war wave of births we may forecast that the increase in enrolment in Grade XII in 1964/65 will be the greatest on record.

The revision of data-processing operations and programmes occupied a large part of the staff time in 1963/64. The pre-existing I.B.M. 650 programmes were made obsolete by the installation of 1403 and 1620 computers and some 30 pro- N 54 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64 grammes and sub-programmes had to be rewritten and tested. They cover a variety of operations: Assigning pupil-code numbers, calculating chronological ages, con- j verting aptitude scores to M.A.'s and I.Q.'s, converting achievement scores to stanines, calculating percentiles, producing frequency distributions and class records, and a variety of class, school, and school-district summaries. Three emergency plans for scaling university entrance and senior matricula tion examinations were prepared in June and early July, and with the assistance of West Coast Data Processing Ltd. and the Provincial Data Processing Branch the scaled scores were produced for 80,660 papers in 37 examinations for June and 17 for August. This represented an increase of 12 per cent over 1963 and, although all scaling deadlines were met in 1964, the increase to about 94,000 papers expected this year makes revision of marking procedures as well as further mechanization of score-handling imperative. HOME ECONOMICS
HOME ECONOMICS
REPORT OF MISS MILDRED C. ORR, B.A., B.S., DIRECTOR During the 1963/64 session, the total number of pupils enrolled in Home Economics courses in the public schools of British Columbia was 44,326, showing an increase of 5,991 pupils (15.6 per cent) over the total number enrolled the previous year. The enrolmenaentt by courses is as followsfollows:: — Home Economics 8 13,443 Home Economics 30 5,057 Foods and Nutrition 9, Home Economics 31 Clothing and Tex Home Economics 32— tiles 9 10,695 Home Economics 91 Home Economics 20 6,234 Home Economics 23 Home Economics 21— 575 Home Economics 24— Home Economics 22.__ 292 Home Economics 26— Occupational. 1,2, 3
Jericho Hill School ... — 32 In addition to the above totals, some senior individual pupils are enrolled in Home Economics Correspondence Courses. Also, in some secondary schools where the Home Economics teacher has limited training in the subject, Home Economics classes are enrolled with the Secondary School of Correspondence for their Home Economics courses which are carried on in the school under a super vising teacher. In 1963/64, all pupils taking Home Economics at the Alert Bay Elementary Secondary School were enrolled with the Secondary School of Corres pondence because District No. 73 (Alert Bay) had not been able to secure a Home Economics teacher. The number of public schools with Home Economics departments in operation in the Province is 209. In the Coquitlam School District, one new school—Sir Frederick Banting Junior Secondary—was opened in September, 1963, and a new building with two Home Economics rooms, was opened and operated in conjunction with the Port Coquitlam Secondary School. The total number of Home Economics rooms in use in the schools was 419, showing an increase of 16 over the total number for last year. The Home Economics departments in the various schools varied in size from one to six rooms, the greatest number of departments having two rooms in operation. There were 389 teachers of Home Economics employed in the public schools throughout the Province, showing an increase of 19 teachers over the previous year. Of these, 225 held Bachelor of Home Economics or equivalent degrees in Home Economics. Fully qualified Home Economics teachers are still needed, the demand exceed ing the supply. Through the co-operation of the University of British Columbia and the Depart ment of Education, Summer Session courses were continued for the Home Eco nomics graduates wishing to take teacher-training through Summer Sessions, and for certificated elementary or academic teachers wishing to become qualified to teach Home Economics. For part of each week of Summer Session, either the N 56 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
Provincial Director of Home Economics or Miss Jean Campbell, Inspector of Home Economics, was on campus for interviews with teachers and prospective teachers of Home Economics. Foods and Nutrition 9, and Clothing and Textiles 9, which were introduced ii Grade DC in September, 1963, were prepared as semester-type courses to provide flexibility in time-tabling. Each of these courses may be taken as an entire coursi one year, or Part A of each course may be taken by Grade DC pupils and Part B of each course may be taken by Grade X pupils. Cooking and Food Service 9 for boys was also introduced at the Grade DC level in September, 1963. In September, 1964, the use of the above courses will be extended to the Grade X level. A Home Economics Curriculum Revision Committee prepared the Child Care 9 course outline, which is to be introduced in September, 1964. This is an electivt course for pupils of Grades DC and X. The third-year level of the occupational programme was introduced in schools where this programme had been offered previously at the first- and second-year levels. A unit on " Food Service " is included in the third-year level of the Secon dary School Occupational Programme, 1964 (preliminary edition), to serve as a possible model for development of units related to other occupational areas. During 1963 and 1964 the Director of Home Economics acted on the Voca tional Curriculum Committee as consultant, co-chairman, and chairman for the Vocational Community Services Programme Committee. In 1964, Miss Jean Irvine, Inspector of Home Economics, served as a consultant on the Community Services Programme Committee. The Advisory Home Economics Equipment List was updated in the fall of 1963, to meet the needs of the new courses of the junior secondary programme and in consideration of current trends in Home Economics teaching methods. Copies were distributed to District Superintendents of Schools, secretaries of School Boards, principals, and teachers of Home Economics in the Province. In September, 1963, the office of the Division of Home Economics was moved I to 516 Michigan Street, Victoria. The annual conference with the City Supervisors of Home Economics for Vancouver and Victoria, was held in Victoria, in January, 1964. On invitation, the Director of Home Economics met with and spoke to the I Victoria Home Economics teachers, and the fourth-year Home Economics students I and teacher trainees at the University of British Columbia. The Director also participated in teachers' conventions at Creston, Surrey, and Fraser Valley East. Half-day conference-workshops have proven helpful in orienting teachers ii the philosophy and objectives of the secondary-school Home Economics programme and in assisting the teachers in organizing and implementing revised and new com Conference-workshops were held in the following school districts: Abbotsford, Campbell River, Castlegar, Courtenay, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, New West minster, North Vancouver, Penticton, Salmon Arm, Surrey, and Vernon.

TEXTBOOK BRANCH
REPORT OF BASIL R. WILSON, DIRECTOR Once again this year the Textbook Branch has had a successful year in that all purchase orders and requisitions for " Free " and " Rental Plan " textbooks received were promptly completed. During the school-year 1963/64, 4,957 requisitions for free books and supplies required for the use of students enrolled in Grades I to VI in the schools of the Province were received and completed at a total cost to the Free vote of $569,850.25. This is a slight decrease of approximately 2 per cent in the number of requisitions received and the total expenditure for books and materials supplied. In the same period 22,209 purchase orders were received and completed; the value of these orders being $1,056,500.39. During the year 2,973 requisitions were received for textbooks to be issued on the Rental Plan in Grades VH through XIII, this being only 14 requisitions less than the number of requisitions received and serviced last year. Collections for textbook rental fees, books lost or damaged and paid for by students, and remittances covering fire losses amounted to $821,235.32, which is an increase in moneys collected of $34,732.30 or 4.42 per cent. Refunds of rental fees to students who left the British Columbia school system increased by $1,329.90 or 14.67 per cent to a total of $10,392.35. The Library Service Division received and serviced 619 purchase orders for 19,717 library books, supplementary reading material, wall maps, and globes. These orders were received from the various school-district offices throughout the Province. To complete these orders, 1,548 purchase orders were placed with numerous publishing houses throughout Canada and the United States. To carry out this part of the operation, four people are employed on a permanent basis, and are assisted from time to time, as the occasion warrants, by other members of the staff. Four warehouse men are employed in the shipping room on a permanent basis, and were assisted by a maximum of 24 men during the peak periods. The total weights and quantities shipped via various general shipping agencies are shown in the following tabulation:— TEXTBOOK BRANCH N 67
Because of the very large numbers of textbooks being loaned to students throughout the schools of the Province, it is inevitable that some of these books may be slightly damaged or may start to come apart for one reason or another. Teachers are encouraged to salvage these books and send them in to be repaired. During the year 1963/64, books to the value of $284,509.68 were recovered at a cost of $124,- 375.69. These books were then re-issued to the schools. Once again I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the willing co-operation that has been given by each member of the staff, and to f express my thanks for the help and consideration that we have all enjoyed from the f school authorities throughout the Province.

INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SERVICES
The 1963/64 school-year provided more than the usual number of incidents, problems, and opportunities. Because this division reports on the work of instruc- j tion for nearly 400,000 pupils in public schools and the supervision of 14,650 teachers it can only indicate the general trends and the more significant develop ments as they have been observed or reported by the District Superintendents.
ORGANIZATION Fifty-five Provincial District Superintendents and six officers of equivalent rank employed by the Vancouver School Board served in the dual role as field officers of the Department of Education and as educational leaders for their School Boards. The number was increased by two over last year to compensate for the supervision of 800 additional teachers. The three new appointments, including a replacement for Mr. C. E. Clay, who retired, were Mr. A. J. Longmore, Mr. C. A. Bruce, and Mr. D. N. Weicker, who were placed in their superintendencies at Vanderhoof, Revelstoke, and Fort St. John respectively. Transfers of District Superintendents were made with the participation of the School Boards, resulting in the selection of Mr. L. A. Matheson by the Penticton School Board and Mr. W. B. Fromson by the North Vancouver School Board. This procedure, in which the School Boards choose their District Superintendent from the 55 highly qualified and richly experienced candidates, ensures effective leadership at the local level. The fine relationship which exists between District Superintendents and their School Boards is an indi cation that the procedure should be continued. All the District Superintendents assigned to districts were appointed executive officers by their School Boards in accordance with section 11 of the Public Schools Act and received administration allowances. The headquarters and field staffs were shocked by the sudden deaths of Mr. John G. Kirk, District Superintendent for Chilliwack, in February, and Mr. A. E. Henderson, Inspector of Schools for Vancouver, in March. Both were outstanding educators in this Province and were making contributions that will be greatly missed. Severe illnesses handicapped two other members of the field staff but, fortunately, they returned to regular duties during the year. To meet these emergency situations, Mr. A. Turnbull was recalled from retirement to serve again as a District Superin tendent of Schools. Mr. D. N. Weicker, District Superintendent in Fort St. John, was asked to include McBride in his superintendency for several months. Mr. W. J. Logie added the West Coast Unattached Schools to his regular assignment. Tem porarily, Mr. Gurney included School District No. 70 (Alberni) in his Qualicum Superintendency and the Chief Inspector was assigned to School District No. 79 (Ucluelet-Tofino) in addition to his regular duties. The Chief Inspector was also assigned to Chilliwack for two months until the School Board made the selection of a replacement for the late Mr. Kirk. Mr. D. G. Chamberlain completed the year in the Chilliwack Superintendency.
IN-SERVICE EDUCATION Annual Departmental Conference.—This division has been responsible for the organization of the annual conference to integrate the work of the headquarters and INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SERVICES N 71
[ field staffs and to bring understanding of their special problems. The three-day conference held in the S. J. Willis Junior Secondary School in April had one day f each assigned to the topics: School Organization, Curriculum, and Special Educa- i tion. Papers were prepared by Superintendents of Schools, Messrs. Lucas, Mac- Kenzie, Marriott, Grant, McKenzie, Pritchard, and Stibbs; by teaching and super vising personnel, Dr. Wormsbecker and Messrs. Cullen, Welch, Heisler, and Thomas; by University representatives, Drs. Foord and Hartrick and Deans Scarfe and Gilliland. Headquarters members who prepared papers included Dr. English and Messrs. Levirs, Graham, and Meredith. This conference served a very useful purpose in clarifying the developments in public education for those senior officials who are responsible for making the changes effective in the schools throughout the Province. Arithmetic and Reading Workshops.—In co-operation with the publishers of the Arithmetic Text for Grade IV and the Readers for Grade I, together with the B.C. Teachers' Federation, workshops were arranged throughout the Province in September and June. Mrs. Irene Richmond, consultant and arithmetic specialist, addressed teacher groups in a number of centres to prepare teachers for the new Elementary Arithmetic course which was begun this year. Miss Barbara Sibbald, a reading specialist, spent two weeks in a series of meetings from Northern British Columbia to Vancouver Island and gave an introduction to the new Grade I Reader. Workshops in Special Education.—The Retarded Children's Association re quested assistance in arranging workshops in special education for four areas of the Province. The programme was broadened to include speakers and consultants for the trainable retarded, the educable retarded, and the occupational classes. Work shops in Nanaimo, Kelowna, Prince George, and Trail were given good support and were well received both by those who attended from the public schools as well as those from the Association schools. This first effort to integrate the work of teachers in these three areas was valuable and a credit to Mr. K. Jackson, chairman of the Education Committee, and Dr. D. McGann, consultant of the Retarded Children's Association. Seminars in Vocational Education.—Changes in terminology, curriculum, or organization place an obligation on the educational leader to make others aware and ensure public understanding of the proposed programmes in the secondary schools. This division was associated with a seminar on vocational education that was organized in Kamloops, where misconceptions had led to the failure of a referendum. The afternoon and evening sessions encouraged attendance of adminis trators, trustees, teachers, counsellors, and interested parents. The purpose of these seminars to distinguish between the roles of Provincial Vocational Schools and the vocation programmes in secondary schools was achieved. Zone Conferences of District Superintendents.—Fall and spring meetings of superintendents were held in six areas of the Province. During the past school-year, groups convened in the following centres: Prince Rupert, Prince George, Kamloops, Langley, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Abbotsford, Nelson, Creston, and Salmon Arm. These meetings proved to be effective in providing a liaison between headquarters and district staff. Two meetings were attended by Mr. G. W. Graham, Assistant Superintendent of Education (Administration), and one by Mr. F. P. Levirs, Assistant Superintendent (Instruction). Several professional studies were under taken by the superintendents through their zone meetings: Teacher recruitment, pupil retention, criteria for organization of junior secondary schools, zone Grade VII examinations, and others. The meetings were invaluable for providing explan ations of new developments in education and opportunities for discussions on local problems. N 72 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
Biennial Conference for Principals.—Under the joint sponsorship of the Depart ment of Education, the Teachers' Federation, the Trustees' Association, and the University of British Columbia, the conference was held on the University campus j in the last two weeks in July. Since the theme was " The Organization of Schools," ] it provided a timely study of the changing curriculum and school organization in ] this Province. It gave valuable opportunities for almost 80 principals, representing f most parts of the Province, to study in depth the new school organizations, their ' purposes, and their structures. Dr. Walter Hartrick, as director of the conference, gave effective leadership and was able to obtain the assistance of outstanding visiting professors of education. Three members of the Department gave papers: Mr. F. P. Levirs, Assistant Superintendent; Mr. W. J. Mouat, District Superintendent; and Mr. E. E. Hyndman, Chief Inspector of Schools. Mr. K. F. Alexander, District Superintendent for Mission, was secretary, and Messrs. Marriott and Paton were consultants. Conferences of School Administrators.—Organizations of principals and school administrators have been established under their professional association in a number of areas of the Province. Each year members from headquarters are requested to attend conferences and to give addresses on matters of current interest. This provides a challenging opportunity for the Department to give leadership in profes sional matters. During the past year this division was associated with the Cariboo- Main Line Conference of School Administrators while other Department officials addressed meetings of the Northern British Columbia Administrators, the Okanagan Administrators, the Metropolitan Administrators and the Kootenay Administrators. Conferences and Workshops in Physical Education.—An active interest in Physical Education by the College of Education, the School of Physical Education, and the Community Programmes Branch was responsible for several in-service education projects. Professor Lome Brown of the College of Education convened a Conference on Physical Education and Health on the University of British Colum bia campus. This utilized the resources of the University, outstanding teachers, and representation from this division to discuss problems and procedures in Physical Education. The Community Programmes Branch provided assistance in a workshop organized by the District Superintendent for teachers of the Nelson elementary schools. The use of College of Education instructors and experienced teachers and supervisors of Physical Education gave a stimulating experience to these teachers and was emulated in several other school districts.
SUPERVISION School District Survey.—A school district evaluation was made and a report was prepared on the total operation in School District No. 27 (Williams Lake) at the request of the Board of School Trustees. A total of seven District Superinten dents, the Co-ordinator of School Services, and the Chief Inspector of Schools examined the administrative practices and the instructional procedures throughout the whole district. An evaluation was made of all aspects of local public education and suggestions and recommendations were made to guide the Board, the adminis trators and teachers in their activities. The report was considered to be valuable by the Williams Lake School Board and its officers. In addition, the format and the criteria used in this team approach have proved to be interesting and useful to other District Superintendents and School Boards. Evaluation of Teachers for the Department of External Affairs.—For the second year this division has co-operated with the Federal Department by ir INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SERVICES N 73
ing and screening applications for appointment under External Aid. Forty-five candidates were interviewed by a committee which included Lieut-Col. J. N. i Burnett, Superintendent of Schools, Richmond; Mr. S. Evans, Assistant General Secretary, B.C. Teachers' Federation; and the Chief Inspector. The quality of applicant for service in underdeveloped countries was most noteworthy. Many teachers in British Columbia indicated a willingness to serve mankind at personal sacrifice. Inspection of Teachers in Other than Public Schools.—(a) Indian day schools, on the request of the Federal authority, are visited and reported on by the District Superintendents. There is a noteworthy trend toward integration in those areas where public schools are close at hand. However, many of these schools are quite isolated and must continue to operate as separate schools. Following one or more visits to these schools, 89 reports were written during the past school-year by District Superintendents. (6) Supervision of teachers in public institutions is normally the function of the closest District Superintendent. The academic teachers in the Haney Correc tional Institute were inspected by the District Superintendent in Haney. The teachers in the Jericho Hill School came under the direct supervision of the Chief Inspector. Academic teachers in H.M.C.S. Naden were inspected by headquarters staff. Reports were prepared for the two academic teachers in the Willingdon School for Girls by the Chief Inspector. (c) Teachers in private schools who sought permanent certificates were visited on request and their suitability for certification was reported to the Registrar. Approximately 20 such inspections were made this year either by the District Super intendent or the Chief Inspector. Reporting on Teachers in Public Schools.—In the last few years there has been a significant change in the formal reports on teachers both in their purpose as well as in their nature. The written report is a part of the total supervisory programme which includes in-service education, consultation, and a wide range of assistance to the teacher. The report, therefore, is being written to help improve instruction. In essence, it describes " what " exists in the learning situation (the organization, the procedures, the achievement, etc.), "why" it exists, and "how" it may be strengthened. Treatment is more difficult than diagnosis. Usually the report follows several visits and discussions with the district supervisory staff and the principal of the school. The resources of the district are thus integrated to provide assistance. Nevertheless, there has been no change in the responsibility of the District Super intendent for the quality of instruction in his district. In order to ensure that effective assistance is given, he must know where the weaknesses lie and what diffi culties exist. There is a limitation to the amount of delegation that may wisely be given to district supervisory staff and school principals. During the 1963/64 school-year, 3,903 formal reports on teachers were submitted. This represents slightly more than one-quarter of the teachers. While every teacher in her probationary year received a report, relatively few of those on permanent staff did. When it was noted that some districts were having difficulty in maintaining even this proportion of reports, the relieving District Superintendent gave assistance. The appointment of Directors of Instruction, effective on Septem ber 1st, will make it possible to provide more reports on teachers in Coquitlam, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Kelowna, and South Peace River. N 74 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS REPORTED BY DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS Recruitment of Teachers.—This major concern of the School Boards in many I parts of the Province, but particularly in Northern British Columbia, has been reported by the District Superintendent of Schools. The aim of many of these i Boards has been to increase the pool of available teachers by drawing graduates into I the profession by various inducements. Others sought to attract teachers to their districts by a programme of internship. One School Board, with the co-operation of the Department of Education, sent the District Superintendent to the United Kingdom to recruit teachers. In addition, representatives of these School Boards met with the Department of Education and the Schools of Education for three universities to make known their problems in recruitment. Integration of Indian Day Schools.—Since the first integration of an Indian day school and a public elementary school in Port Essington in 1947, the process has continued steadily. It is interesting to note that the reports this year indicate that no less than seven districts have extended the integration. These include Lil looet (Mount Currie), Howe Sound (Seton Lake), Ucluelet, Cowichan, Alert Bay, Quatsino, and the Queen Charlotte Islands. The trend of Indian education through out the Province was expressed in one report: " At present all Indian children in School District No. 74 are being educated in public schools if they are within com muting distance, and only one Indian day school exists." Curriculum Developments.—In the final analysis the District Superintendents are responsible to both the Department and their School Boards for ensuring that their teachers understand the new programmes and are prepared to carry them out. The extraordinary amount of curriculum change has resulted in unprecedented demands on the local facilities. There have been gratifying illustrations of co-opera tion by the locals of the teachers' professional organizations, the School Boards, and the local supervisory staffs. The activity of the British Columbia Teachers' Federa tion in fields of in-service education can only be appreciated by observing their activities over the whole Province in co-operation with their local associations. They have demonstrated a high level of professional responsibility. Equally noteworthy has been the eagerness with which individual School Boards have assisted, both financially and otherwise. This climate of goodwill has encouraged the growth of in-service programmes in most of the 83 school districts. Extensive programmes are noted in the Vancouver, Coquitlam, Prince George, Richmond, and Trail reports. Richmond has organized an in-service programme " for all curriculum courses that are to be revised in 1964/65." The preparation of teachers for the newly established kindergartens in Coquitlam was reported. The Superintendent of Schools for Van couver emphasized the importance of in-service education for parents and the general public; " the entire community must be made more aware of the changes in secondary education and the advantages to the students if they select their pro grammes wisely." Experimentation.—It has been said that the vigour and vitality of a school system will only continue where there is opportunity for growth and experimentation. At no time have there been more formal or informal experimental projects in British Columbia schools. These include evaluating textbooks, trying out time-tables and school organizations, testing teaching procedures, developing new courses, and try ing out new equipment. Several districts have been experimenting with continuous promotion for the elementary grades; the late Mr. J. G. Kirk initiated a study which other districts found useful. A few of the experimental projects reported were: Programmed learning in Vancouver; team teaching in Prince George, Castlegar, and Vancouver; television in Kamloops and Langley; the Folkner method in short- INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SERVICES N 75 hand in Vancouver; the International Teaching Alphabet in Belmont Park; and language laboratories in Kitimat, Vancouver, and Prince George. Studies, experimental in nature, are being made by principals in fields of pro gramming and time-tabling for the junior secondary schools. There is much more ingenuity being manifested both to ensure effective use of school time as well as to provide qualifying options in a wide choice of programmes for the new senior sec ondary school. There is ample evidence to support the viewpoint that the Provincial outline for school organization, curriculum, and teaching procedures provides room for local ingenuity and experimentation. There is evidence, too, that teachers and ad ministrators have the professional sense of responsibility to ensure the experiment is worth while and is not prejudicial to the children. The Superintendent of Schools for Burnaby reported, " Controlled experimentation and individual teacher initiative will continue to be encouraged as long as such activities contribute to and do not detract from the welfare of the pupils involved."
CONCLUSION
A noteworthy development in education has been the increasing participation of District Superintendents in Provincial projects. With the consent and support of their School Boards, who recognize that this participation is a means of giving a local influence, the District Superintendents have been appointed to committees in curriculum and administration that are Provincial in nature. District Superinten dents are represented on both Elementary and Secondary Curriculum Advisory Committees. They are serving as chairman on the Secondary Vocational Planning Committee, the Commercial Curriculum Committee, the Fine Arts Curriculum Com mittee, and the Language Arts Curriculum Committee. They filled significant positions on the University Entrance and Senior Matriculation Examination Marking Committees, as Officer in Charge of Administration, chairman and members of adjudication committees, and chairman of marking committees. In addition, they served on a number of ad hoc committees which had a Provincial rather than a local purpose. This development is significant not only because the talents of these experienced educators are being fully utilized but also because the District Superintendents pro vide a practical and local viewpoint. Although difficulties and problems have inevitably developed in a few of the many classrooms during the year, nevertheless, there is an excitement and an enthusi asm among teachers that is gratifying. Not only are the new programmes and organizations being readily accepted but the professional challenge to prepare them selves for their duties has led to an unprecedented amount of in-service education. There is good reason for pride and satisfaction in the teachers of this Province. The zeal with which teachers have accepted their responsibilities has been matched by the School Boards in their eagerness to provide the means for the new programmes. Without exception the reports of the District Superintendents compli ment their trustees on their fine accomplishments and dedicated interest in education. My personal associations during the past year with teachers, principals, trustees, District Superintendents, secretary-treasurers, College of Education personnel in both the University of British Columbia and Victoria University, the administrative staffs of the B.C. Teachers' Federation and the B.C. School Trustees' Association, the Retarded Children's Association, my colleagues of the Department, and the Deputy Minister, have been pleasurable and satisfying. Sincere appreciation is felt for many courtesies and kindnesses, for co-operation and assistance, for encourage ment and inspiration. PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
TEACHER RECRUITMENT
REPORT OF PHILIP J. KITLEY, M.A., CO-ORDINATOR
FUTURE TEACHERS CLUBS it obviously productive part of the work of teacher n ;s of Future Teachers Clubs. In general, these are made up of Grade XH or Grade X1H pupils who are interested in exploring the possibility of entering the teaching profession. Ordinarily a school staff member acts as club sponsor, but in a number of cases school principals have undertaken this important work. Of the 165 senior secondary schools in the Province, 109 had Future Teachers Clubs this year, one more than the year previous. Total club membership was 2,001 at year end, a year's increase of just over 10 per cent. Official club meetings were generally held during the noon hour, average number being about 12. The focus of club activity is usually a programme of classroom visiting. In this, club members observe, question, and sometimes participate in classroom activities. An average of approximately five hours was spent by clubs in classroom visiting, although only just over half the clubs made only one visit. A valuable feature of this kind of pre-training familiarization is that pupils are enabled to determine more exactly whether or not they should choose teaching as a profession. If a pupil discovers prior to graduation from senior secondary school that he might be better suited in some other occupation, he saves himself and the university both time and money. It is significant that this year about 73 per cent of club members indicated their decision to enter a programme of teacher preparation. In order to assist Future Teachers Clubs, the Department of Education pre pared and distributed to each member a booklet entitled " Teaching in British Columbia." This contained such basic information as general details of the teacher preparation programme, costs and possible financial assistance, as well as notes on qualities desirable in a teacher, the advantages and rewards of teaching, and other details. A club handbook was also made available to club sponsors and officers, giving suggestions for forming and conducting clubs and developing club programmes. Other materials such as membership cards were also supplied to club members, and a kit of informational and programme material was sent to each club sponsor. During the year three issues of a club newsletter went to all club members. This aims at keeping members up to date and giving programme suggestions. A central Future Teachers Club library was also developed, to provide further resources for club members. Material prepared for the use of Future Teachers Clubs was further used in promotional work during the year. Many inquiries come from all over the Province as well as from other parts of Canada and the world, concerning opportunities for teaching in British Columbia. In many cases such material as " Teaching in British Columbia " is sent out in reply. This booklet was also supplied in quantity to the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, and the British Columbia Teachers' Federation, for use in counselling. In addition, school trustees were for the first time provided with copies. School guidance departments were also supplied with copies. At least 4,000 copies of this booklet were distributed in total. TEACHER RECRUITMENT N 77
This Branch participated in the Provincial Future Teachers Conference held at the University of British Columbia, January 24 and 25, and the Co-ordinator helped arrange a programme for club sponsors at that time. He also assisted in the organi zation of the Greater Victoria Conference held at the University of Victoria on the afternoon of May 4. In addition he attended and addressed an East Kootenay Future Teachers Conference at Cranbrook, May 9. In addition to these, he visited and spoke to 13 individual clubs.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TEACHER RECRUITMENT There were three meetings of this committee which includes representatives of the universities, the British Columbia Teachers' Federation, the British Columbia School Trustees Association, and the District Superintendents of Schools. The committee serves as a clearing house for information on recruitment activities and as a source of ideas for further consideration and action.
SURVEY OF POTENTIAL TEACHER MATERIAL As a result of a brief presented to the Joint Board of Teacher Education by the School Board of School District No. 57, a committee was set up, under the chair manship of Dean N. V. Scarfe, to study teacher supply. Following a preliminary report, the Co-ordinator of Teacher Recruitment was added to the committee and requested to conduct a survey to discover the Province's potential supply of people with a suitable university degree, who might be interested in teaching. This was done, with the assistance of the Registrar of the Department of Education. A pre liminary count revealed 495 persons who were interested in teaching. However, for such varied reasons as lack of continuing interest or incomplete university prerequi sites, this number was reduced to 111. The major obstacles to training for respon dents proved to be inability to take a full year of university work at one time, inability or unwillingness to move to those parts of the Province most in need of teachers, or lack of necessary finances. The assistance of District Superintendents of Schools was enlisted in obtaining specific and detailed information from respondents, but since little time remained in the school-year, there were still a number of gaps in the survey as the year closed. It was anticipated that further information would have to be obtained before a final report could be given.
INFORMATION FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS During February and March addresses were given to 22 groups of under graduates at the University of British Columbia regarding the need for teachers and opportunities in teaching. The Co-ordinator also participated in " Trustee Day " activities, both at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. For two weeks in the summer, interviews were arranged with students attending the Summer Session, and anxious to have information about teacher-education pro grammes, certification, and available teaching positions.
TEACHER CERTIFICATION SURVEY As had been noted in former years, certification of British Columbia teachers continued to show improvement. The following data are extracted from the com plete survey:— "1 'UBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1
Apart from the PA certificate, greater increases can be noted in the higher cate- ;s than in the lower ones. In fact the EC category is tending to disappear.
s survey was conducted during July and August t< areas of greatest shortage of teachers. The situation proved particularly critical in 1963, especially in some school districts and in certain specialist areas of teaching.
TEACHERS' SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships were awarded to the following, for outstanding contributions to classroom teaching: T. B. A. Beames, Lake Cowichan Secondary, Lake Cowichan; J. H. House, Balmoral Junior Secondary, North Vancouver; and D. V. Parker, Lansdowne Junior Secondary, Victoria.
GUIDANCE Two guidance bulletins were issued to counsellors and guidance teachers during the year, and just under 50 separate items of occupational and other guidance material were also sent to schools. In addition, a great many individual questions were dealt with. Visits were made to guidance teachers and counsellors at 11 schools. Assistance was given the Division of School Radio and Television Broad casts regarding a projected television series dealing with problems of entry into the world of work. Assistance was also given the B.C. Products Bureau of the Vancou ver Board of Trade in planning and presenting two " Business-Education " confer ences, the aim being mutual exchange of questions and information between school counsellors and representative businessmen interested in the school supply of potential employees. This is a continuing project which may be expected to develop further. The Co-ordinator was privileged to be able to initiate and conduct a course in group-guidance methods at the University of Victoria during July. Sundry other meetings and conferences were attended during the year with the general aim of developing an understanding of the implications of the school guid ance programme. TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
REPORT OF J. S. WHITE, DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL AND VOCA TIONAL EDUCATION AND REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR CANADIAN VOCATIONAL TRAINING. Adult vocational and technical training, all of which constitutes a huge pro gramme under the joint Federal-Provincial Training Agreement, continues at a rapid and ever-increasing rate across Canada as a whole, and the Province of British Columbia is playing its full part in providing more and more facilities both to meet existing demands and to cater for estimated future needs. In addition to the con struction and operating of Provincial regional vocational schools, vocational training facilities are provided at the secondary-school level and plans have either been completed or are in process to provide or expand such facilities in Alberni, Vancou ver, North Vancouver, Penticton, Trail, Nanaimo, and Richmond. Other areas are in the early planning phase. The extension to the British Columbia Vocational School—Nanaimo was opened early in the school-year, and the addition to the Prince George School pro gressed toward its planned opening in the 1964/65 year, as did the new school at Kelowna, which opened its doors in January, 1964. Construction of the British Columbia Institute of Technology was well in hand, and enrolments reflected con siderable interest in this new area of training in British Columbia. The first class commenced in May in the field of Medical Laboratory. Further details of enrolment are provided later in this report. Finally, an ex-R.C.A.F. site at Dawson Creek was acquired, and plans are under way to transform and develop this into a new vocational school.
REPORT OF INSPECTORS OF TECHNICAL CLASSES New facilities for teaching Industrial Education classes have been provided in Surrey, Saanich, Delta, McBride, Hope, Ucluelet, Coquitlam, and Vancouver. During the past year the revised courses for junior secondary schools have been in use for the first time. The courses include Woodwork, Metalwork, Electricity, Power Mechanics, and Graphic Arts. To make these courses effective, our equip ment lists had to be brought up to date to include the additional equipment required. Shop plans were redrawn to provide better teaching and working conditions. In July of 1963, course-writing teams met to plan the new courses for the senior secondary schools, to be ready for use in September, 1965. During July of this year the teams will meet again. It is hoped that the courses can be completed, equipment lists revised, and, if necessary, new shop plans prepared. Since 1956 our teaching staff has increased by over 200 teachers. The number of Industrial Education teachers required to staff our schools is now 515. Forty-five men were trained this year as Industrial Education teachers. Several will continue training this fall at the University of British Columbia, and the remainder have accepted teaching positions.
TOURIST SERVICES TRAINING Various courses were conducted in relation to this area of training as follows: Waitress Training at Chilliwack, Revelstoke, Courtenay, Vancouver, Penticton, Victoria, Port Alberni, and Duncan; Catering Management at Hope, Kamloops, N 80 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
Duncan, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Chilliwack, and Vancouver; Bartenders at Victoria; | Food Preparation and Menu Planning at Vancouver; Tourist Counsellors Course j at Burnaby; and Room Maids at Victoria. Enrolments: Room maids, 12; wait- | resses, 165. In several cases, and in spite of certain local requests to conduct some courses, a lack of trainees forced cancellation of the proposed classes.
SUPERVISORY TRAINING Fundamentals of Management The Fundamentals of Management is a programme offered to industry and business at the middle management level and is aimed at meeting the needs of the management team. During the past 12 months the programme has enjoyed the fullest co-operation from private and corporate business and industry, from associations and Govern ment agencies, and from departments at Federal, Provincial, and municipal levels. The need for training the foreman, the superintendent, the department man ager, and other specialized people such as engineers and technicians in the matter of handling people effectively continues to exist. This need is being experienced by management each time the courses of this programme are offered. Because over- enrolment for each course occurred during the fall and spring programmes, it was necessary to schedule extra sessions to meet the demand. The Work Study Course, covering one week of appreciation of this new and vital subject, is now extremely popular in the industry and business groups. It is here that many company engineers and technical people are taking the opportunity of this one-week exposure to the techniques of Work Study. The British Columbia Institute of Technology is offering extended training in its regular curriculum for technicians. Some forecast on this subject would indicate that work study depart ments will be set up by many large and small businesses throughout the Province during the next five years. Some training is essential at the supervisory-middle management level is the over-all programme is to succeed, and this is being met by the one-week Work Study programme. For information write to the Conference Chairman, Department of Education, 3650 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby 2, B.C. The following is a summary of attendance:— Number of

Small-business Management Training This new programme, launched during the year, became immediately success ful. The response from small businesses throughout the Province indicates the need for help in training in the courses offered—Management Accounting, Record-keep ing, Purchasing, Retailing, and Marketing. To initiate the programme, three-day training seminars were organized in the Lower Mainland-Vancouver Island area, the Kootenay District, and the Prince George area. Attending these sessions were the local representatives of business, including Boards of Trade and service clubs. Also in attendance were the Directors of Adult Education and selected instructors for the individual courses. Following TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION N 81
se orientation and instructor-training programmes, each area commenced to offer irses to small business. The attendance at these was as follows:— Seminars: Attending Vancouver ! 26 Nelson 25 Prince George 29 Courses: NCo_SL°' Attendance
Management Accounting I
A special one-day seminar was held in Vancouver on June 2nd for review of this material. In attendance were all those who had instructed the course and some new instructors who plan to teach the course in 1964/65.
FORESTRY TRAINING This training is held at the Green Timbers School, North Surrey, by the Depart ment of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, and is assisted financially under the Federal-Provincial training programmes. The courses extend from a three-day course to a two-month course.
AUTOMOTIVE AIR BRAKES Thirty-eight candidates successfully gained their certificates in this course.
COURT REPORTERS

In addition, indications are that approval will be sought to operate a Tire Repair Course at the British Columbia Vocational School—Nanaimo. Further, the following courses are part of a continuing programme, and the involvement of the Co-ordinator is in an advisory capacity: (1) Waitress Training, (2) Room Maid Training, and (3) Power Sewing. The Social Workers' Assistants Course, Food Service Supervisors Course, Recreational Supervisors Course, Professional Housekeepers Course, and the Taxi Drivers Course are still being investigated, and at the present time there is not enough data available to state positively that these courses will be proposed for acceptance to the responsible authorities. DIVISION OF VOCATIONAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT The work of the Division during 1963/64 was primarily directed toward the development of courses and instructional materials for the regional vocational schools. Course Outlines Courses were developed in the following areas: Heavy-duty repair (pre- apprenticeship and apprenticeship training), cook training, parks gardening (pre- apprenticeship and apprenticeship training), timekeeping, auto-body repair trade (pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship training), travel counsellor's training, plas tering, machine-shop training (first draft only), machinery-repair trade (draft only), beauty culture, diamond-drill operators (pre-employment and trade extension), building and service workers, millwright (apprenticeship training), and log-loading and shovel operators. The Division assisted in the development of vocational programmes for the senior secondary schools in the commercial, industrial, and community services TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION N 83
Examinations and Achievement Record Books In co-operation with the Apprenticeship Branch, an interprovincial examina tion was developed for the bricklaying trade for use in all Provinces in Canada. Achievement record booklets were printed for use in 27 different areas, and instruc tional materials of a wide variety were produced in 16 different areas, some of these being distributed across Canada. In co-operation with the Tourist Services Consultant, several informational materials were produced; for example, a Quantity Recipe Manual and a Waiter- Waitress Manual. Publicity Materials In co-operation with the Vancouver Vocational Institute, a prospectus outlin ing the programmes was developed, and 12,000 copies were produced. In addition, approximately 7,500 flyers for each of 30 different courses were designed and printed, and a press release kit folder was designed and produced for the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Publicity materials produced by this Division are distributed to District Super intendents, principals, counsellors, and Industrial Education instructors throughout the Province. In addition, selective distribution is made throughout Canada. The mailing list comprises over 2,000 names. The booklet " Vocational Schools Announcement," outlining programmes in each regional school, was produced, and 15,000 copies were distributed. The Division designed and produced programmes for official openings of the following British Columbia Vocational Schools: Nanaimo, Nelson, Prince George, and Kelowna. The library facilities of the Division continued to grow during the past year. The services have been widely used by persons preparing course outlines, instructors preparing instructional materials, and students of the British Columbia Vocational School—Burnaby. The Division participated in the development of a booklet depicting outsand- ing Industrial Education projects. The booklet is distributed to all Superintendents, principals, and Industrial Education persons.
BRITISH COLUMBIA VOCATIONAL SCHOOL—NANAIMO Student enrolment increased from 546 to 745 during the last school-year. This increase was the result of the addition of Cook Training, Beauty Culture, and Secretarial Courses, as well as a 50-per-cent increase in the number of apprentices going through the school. The percentage ratio of drop-outs increased slightly, from 4.9 to 5.3 per cent. This was caused by the fact that we allowed almost any person who appeared eligible to take the Industrial First Aid and Timekeeping Course. As a result, we found it was necessary to terminate the training of 16 of these people after a short try-out in the course. Drop-outs in Upgrading and Pipe line Welding have not been counted for obvious reasons. A pilot programme in Shovel Operating and Log Loading was started in May, 1964. It would appear that this course should provide the same service to industry that the other courses at this school are doing. Placement this year has far exceeded our expectations, as can be seen from the statistical table. The number shown as placed are the actual known placements. There will be others who did not notify the school when they found employment. In this regard it should be pointed out that both business and industry are beginning to appreciate the British Columbia Vocational School—Nanaimo as a source of Commercial, British Columbia Vocational School- TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION N 85
1 supply for their requirements in filling vacancies on their staff. In most cases they 1 rely on our judgment to select a person to suit their needs. The new buildings are now in use and greatly appreciataed by both staff and 1 students. They have provided for a further expansion and an increase in the calibre of our training programme. Courses in Log Loading, Front End Loading, Tire Repair, and a second General Welding Class are definitely planned for 1964/65. The former two courses are being put on under Programme IV for the logging industry and the longshore men of British Columbia. The automotive and heavy-duty apprentice programme will be expanded from the 21 classes offered this year to 33 classes in 1964/65.

BRITISH COLUMBIA VOCATIONAL SCHOOL—KELOWNA
The Honourable W. A. C Bennett, Premier of British Columbia, officiated at the opening ceremonies for the British Columbia Vocational School—Kelowna on Saturday, June 27, 1964. However, the school had been in operation since Sep tember 30, 1963. The school has a student capacity of approximately 400 day students. The staff consisted of the principal, nine instructors, two clerical staff, a truck-driver, and a storeman. Total student enrolment on opening was 103. Five pre-employment and three pre-apprentice classes commenced training in the new vocational school. As a result of a number of requests, courses commenced in November in Arc Welding, Oxy-acetylene Welding, and the popular Automotive Refresher Course. Later a third Welding Upgrading Course was added to the night-school programme. As of June 30th, 287 students have attended day school plus 63 night school, for a grand total of 350 in the first nine months of operations. A few students found that their selected course required skills beyond their capabilities and therefore dropped out or transferred to another more suitable course. However, the great majority of students found vocational training a real challenge to their interests and N gfi PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64 abilities. With this training they have something the employer will buy. To the best of our knowledge, every graduate from this school is now employed at his trade, the majority in British Columbia. Commencing August 31st, pre-apprentice carpentry students will start their training in this school. The equipment has been ordered, and a trained instructor has been engaged. Applications for this type of training, as for other courses, are being received daily. Surveys for possible new courses are being conducted. The Basic Training for Skill Development Course is now under study. This course is designed to assist those who left the public-school system with less than a Grade X education, the minimum requirement for admission into most vocational courses. Such a course would be beneficial to many who are having difficulty retaining steady employment. After obtaining academic upgrading, they would have the necessary qualification for entrance to vocational institutions. This school operates a 5V_-month Auto Body Repair Course and an 11-month Machinery Repair Course. These are unique in that they are not offered in any of the other British Columbia Vocational Schools. The first class of Auto Body Repair started with 13 applicants, whereas the Machinery Repair had only eight. These numbers are to be expected until the courses become known. For this fall we have received sufficient applicants for full classes, and more applications are being re ceived. Possibly the Machinery Repair is one of the finest courses offered to poten tial mechanics. This is a basic course in gasoline, diesel, and air-cooled engines, transmissions, running-gear, hydraulics, and 70 hours in both arc and acetylene welding. Following the training period, the graduates may take employment as apprentices in automotive, heavy-duty mechanics, welding, or machinery repair. The course is geared to establish a sound foundation before specialization. Young men under 20 years of age and mechanically inclined are urged to give this course due consideration.

During the year the principal visited, at least once, all secondary schools jn the Similkameen, Okanagan, and Mainline areas. In most schools a 20- to 30-minute TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION N 87 talk on vocational training was given to the Grade X-XII group. Vocational infor mation was left at each school. The principal has spoken to several Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, and similar groups in regard to the vocational-school programme. Numerous organizations, groups, and individuals have toured the school during the day or evening. Several schools have sent bus loads of students to tour and obtain first-hand information. The equipment and training facilities are modern, extensive, and of superior quality. The best is being provided, and the standard of graduates to date appears to be attaining the qualities which meet the aims of vocational training. BRITISH COLUMBIA VOCATIONAL SCHOOL—NELSON Delay in construction prevented the opening of this school until January 20, 1964. On that date, however, classes began and operated continuously to the end of the school-year. Student Enrolment r Enrolment BH «_ s H •

Although there was no possibility of offering night classes during this half-year of operation, the school made itself felt in the community in several ways, including exhibitions of art work, both local and on exchange with other art schools and cir cuits; by demonstration to welders in the region of advanced welding techniques; by provision of accommodation for Advisory Committee and Selection Committee meetings; by staff participation in meetings called by various organizations to inform the public about the school; and by tours of the school.
BRITISH COLUMBIA VOCATIONAL SCHOOL—PRINCE GEORGE Phase 2 of the school was ready for classes in September, 1963. New courses offered included Commercial (General), Commercial (Secretarial), Practical Nursing, and Millwrighting. The welding class was able to move into its new shop at this time. In February, 1964, a Basic Training for Skill Development Course was added to the school's programme. Night-school courses offered in 1963/64 included Lumber Grading (sponsored by the Northern Interior Lumbermen's Association), Third Class Stationary Steam Engineering, Automotive Theory (preparatory to the tradesmen's qualifying exam ination), Draughting and Blueprint Reading, and Welding (including arc, gas, inert gas procedures, and upgrading). A considerable expansion of the night-school programme is planned for the coming year. In response to public demand, new courses in commercial subjects, telecommunications, industrial first aid, and other subjects will be established. Placement of students in employment has been good. Not more than three or four of the school's graduates are unemployed as of June 30, 1964. Most graduates have been placed through the school, the National Employment Service, and the "1 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
apprenticeship counsellor. Employer satisfaction is good, and several employers have requested additional students when they are available.
Course Activities As part of the training programme, some of the classes are able to undertake projects of use and value to the community or the school. Some of the more per tinent of these projects are listed below. Heavy Equipment Operators.—Several road-building projects for the Depart ment of Highways; clearing and grading of two school grounds; clearing and grading of a parking-lot for the Prince George Regional Hospital (to be completed in the fall of 1964); earth-moving for construction of a Soap Box Derby hill; grading and topsoil-spreading at the Anglican Church; excavation of United Church manse base ment, including clearing and grading; and clearing and grading of two playgrounds. A programme subsidiary to the Heavy Equipment Operator's Course was established in January, 1964. To assist the instructor, two students were accepted as heavy equipment maintenance and repair trainees. Their work was successful, and four more suitable men began training in this programme between April 1st and June 1st. A short Heavy Equipment Operator's Course, which was offered from April 1st to June 30th, was highly successful, mainly because most of the equipment was available for the period required. Without the service provided by the Maintenance men, the school would not have been able to offer an adequate Operator's course. No difficulty was experienced in placing the Maintenance men in employment. In fact, some local employers had to be persuaded to allow these men to complete the programme before hiring them. Automotive Mechanics.—During the year 105 job orders have been issued. These include all types of automotive service, from lubrication and wash jobs to complete mechanical rebuilding. All the vehicles issued to the school have been kept in first-class condition by the Automotive classes. Heavy Duty Mechanics.—All the engine work necessary on school equipment has been done by Heavy Duty Mechanics classes. Some difficulty has been experi enced in finding suitable projects for this class because of the expense involved in idling this type of equipment. Millwrighting.—This class built a complete sawmill under the direction of its instructor and a representative of the supplier. Additionally, a portable mill, owned by the Provincial Gaol (Prince George), was rebuilt as a training project. Several smaller projects were also done for local firms. All the shop courses have been able from time to time to provide consultative services to local industry to solve problems that might otherwise have involved them in considerable expense. All classes, both classroom and shop courses, have been able to undertake a limited number of field trips, whilst instructors have also invited local experts to visit classes as guest lecturers, for the mutual benefit of both visitors and students. Lumber Grading.—Additionally, two classes in Lumber Grading were spon sored and directed by the Northern Interior Lumbermen's Association, and 78 men were trained. About one-half passed the final examination successfully. The first tradesmen's qualifying examination held in the Interior of the Prov ince was given at this school on April 28th and 29th. Exact figures have not been supplied by the Department of Labour, but over 40 men wrote the examinations at that time. A supplementary examination was held in July, and an additional 31 men wrote that examination. All the night-school students who had completed the TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION N 89
Automotive Theory Course were able to attend one of these examinations. The number of successful candidates is not available at this time. Principal's Activities Nine schools were visited during the year, and addresses made to senior classes with the object of recruiting suitable candidates for courses at this school, and ad dresses made to 14 different service and other groups. In addition, many local groups toured the school and included most of the local P.-T.A. groups, service clubs, interested parties, and many individuals who wished to see the facilities available. No precise figures can be given on the number of visitors to the school, but a conservative estimate would be over 2,000. This does not include at least 400 people who toured the school during the official opening. The principal also visited all four of the hospitals presently training practical- nursing students during the year. These are Prince George Regional Hospital; St. Joseph's Hospital, Dawson Creek; G. R. Baker Memorial Hospital, Quesnel; and Cariboo Memorial Hospital, Williams Lake. For a short time, students were placed at the Vanderhoof Hospital, but this proved to be too small to offer the necessary training, and the students were withdrawn. Official Opening The official opening of this school was held on June 17,1964. The Honourable Ray Williston, Minister of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, opened the school in the presence of the Honourable Leslie R. Peterson, Minister of Education; the Honourable William Chant, Minister of Public Works; Mr. J. S. White, Director, Technical Branch, Department of Education; and other Departmental and Govern mental officials. Conclusion Enrolments in all courses have been good, and job placement of graduates has been very satisfactory. Considerable public interest has been shown in all the courses offered by the school. Some thought has been given to expanding the number of student places available in the Commercial (General) and Heavy Equipment Operator's Courses.

J. H. PANTON, M.Sc., DIRECTOR The unprecedented development and growth of adult education, and the ex pansion of services to sports and fitness as a result of the National Fitness and Amateur Sports Act, confronted the Community Programmes Branch with its major problems of 1963/64. Although the number of Recreation Commissions did not increase greatly, leadership services and the addition of a Provincial summer school greatly expanded the work of the Branch. The leadership services expanded in all phases of Com munity Programmes Branch work; this was most apparent during the past year in adult education and sports and fitness. Growth chart for Recreation Commissions in British Columbia to March 31, 1964, follows:— 1954 86 1960 281 1955 140 1961 . 1956 183 1962 332 1957 216 1963 351 1958 250 1964 359 1959 266 Services extended by the Community Programmes Branch to British Columbia communities are as follows:— (1) Advice to public agencies and individuals on recreational matters by a staff of regional recreation consultants. (2) Fitness and Amateur Sports Division, which provides special service to sports organizations, communities, and schools. (3) Adult Education Division, which provides grants, consultation, clinics, and conferences to School Board adult education divisions. (4) Aid in recreation to the blind through White Cane Clubs organized by staff member Mr. Joseph Lewis. (5) Large and comprehensive library of books, booklets, films, and filmstrips on innumerable recreation topics. (6) Drama library—materials and advisory services. (7) Leadership training through workshops, conferences, clinics, regional schools, and a Provincial summer school. (8) Grants-in-aid to Recreation Commissions on behalf of full-time recreation directors, and to aid with the expenses of public recreation programmes. (9) Responsible for educational sessions and resource personnel at Annual British Columbia Recreation Conference. (10) Special grants to those Recreation Commissions who conduct summer swimming and playground programmes.

Inactive Recreation Commissions receive COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES BRANCH N 105
Community Programmes Branch information and special attention from the field staff. Information taken from Recreation Commission reports is indicative of the importance attached to recreation in most communities. Because the reports do not include many areas of recreation, such as private agencies, clubs, commercial recreation, and all activities not under the jurisdiction of Recreation Commissions, any figures from the reports are not a true picture of total community recreation. The activities reported numbered 6,591 and 1,016,632 participated. The number of participants includes many who would be in several activities and is not the number of different people. Although a true picture is difficult to obtain, and there are many discrepancies in reporting, the reports do indicate the interest and importance attached to com munity recreation programming. Community grants are based on such factors as size of community, personnel employed, type of programme, activity of the Recreation Commission, and financial contribution by the Recreation Commission.
STAFF There was only one staff change during the year. Mr. D. J. Gillies resigned in March of 1963, and Mr. M. E. Gordon was appointed effective June 1, 1963. Mr. Gordon is a recreation graduate of the University of British Columbia and is located at Nelson to serve the Kootenay region. In March the Community Programmes Branch consultants were given the responsibility of organizing Centennial Committees throughout the Province. They will be associated with Centennial work on the Community Organizations Commit tee until 1968; this will greatly increase their work. The seven members of the field staff have large areas to cover and many com munities to serve. Their duties require many week-end meetings, much night work and travel. The growth of Community Programmes Branch services and the addi tional load of Centennial organization will be a strain on the Branch for the next three years. In 1963/64 the field staff made 1,388 visits to communities and travelled 67,632 miles. They are effectively discharging ever-increasing duties, which are the consequence of an expanding programme. The Community Programmes Branch staff and their locations are as follows:— A. L. Carrier, Victoria—Adult Education. K. K. Maltman, Vancouver—Sports and Fitness. T. Ruben, Abbotsford—Fraser-Sechelt. E. W. Mayers, Kamloops—Central British Columbia. G. J. Pynn, Victoria—Vancouver Island. D. M. McCooey, Smithers—North-west British Columbia. J. M. MacKinnon, Kelowna—Okanagan-Similkameen. R. C. Davis, Quesnel—North-east British Columbia. M. E. Gordon, Nelson—Kootenays. Miss A. F. Adamson, Victoria—Drama.
LEADERSHIP The Community Programmes Branch provides its most important service through leadership activities. This has been greatly expanded through the Adult Education and Sports and Fitness offices. The necessity for skilled leaders, both volunteer and paid, cannot be over-emphasized. The Branch has developed a N 106 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
Provincial system of regional workshops and clinics; there are numerous local clinics and conferences designed to discuss and promote leadership. A Provincial summer school for recreation leaders was held in Kelowna from July 8th to 13th, inclusive. The school was designed to encourage and promote a better approach to leadership in recreation, and to give community leaders an opportunity to acquaint themselves with new trends, obtain information, and discuss the philosophy and leadership of community recreation. Recreation leadership training is the most important area of Branch responsi bility, and it requires the attention of governments at all levels. The Community Programmes Branch continued to give priority to the development of these services.

Special grants to communities conducting playground programmes and swim ming instruction and water safety totalled $6,904. One hundred and six commun ities received this aid. One hundred and two aquatic and 33 playground programmes were assisted. These grants are provided to encourage community activity in these extremely important aspects of recreation. The Annual Provincial Recreation Conference is also a major project for the Community Programmes Branch. The Branch is responsible for the educational sessions and the resource personnel. The conference is also part of the B.C.R.A. annual meeting and provides excellent learning opportunity for professional people, Recreation Commission personnel, and municipal councillors with recreation re sponsibilities. The 1963 conference was held in Courtenay, and was attended by 195 people representing 88 Recreation Commissions and communities.
LIBRARY SERVICES The film library is located in Vancouver and maintained by the Visual Educa tion Division. The book library was kept up to date with 195 new additions.

PUBLICATIONS The Community Programmes Branch bulletin, which is published quarterly, has become an important reference source and provides a very good medium of communication with Recreation Commissions. Six hundred copies of each issue are published and distributed to each Recreation Commission, School Superinten dents, Adult Education Directors, and a mailing list of over 75. The Community Programmes Branch guide and brochure were revised in March of 1964. PROVINCIAL ADVISORY BOARD Members of the Provincial Advisory Board on Adult Education and Recrea tion are as follows: Mr. B. M. Baker, Kelowna (Chairman); Dr. B. E. Wales, Vancouver; Mr. A. T. Alsbury, Vancouver; Mrs. W. Saxton, Ucluelet; Dr. A. W. Mooney, Vanderhoof; Mr. P. F. Mclntyre, Victoria; Mr. L. J. Wallace, Victoria; Mr. R. H. Reeve, Victoria (term concluded December 31, 1963); Prof. R. F. Osborne, Vancouver; Mr. E. Whitehead, Vancouver (term concluded December 31, 1963); Dr. J. F. K. English, Victoria. N 108 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64 The Board met twice during the fiscal year—September 17, 1963, and Febru- j ary 14, 1964. The Board was appointed to act in an advisory capacity to the Department of j Education concerning policy and procedure as related to the Community Pro grammes Branch. The Board meets periodically to hear reports from the Com- i munity Programmes Branch, which outlines problems and requirements. The Board then discusses any aspects of the Branch it deems necessary and submits recommendations to the Deputy Minister. DRAMA Drama continues to flourish in British Columbia. The trend in adult clubs is to leave the one-act field and concentrate on three-act plays, with the result that drama festivals in the more populated areas of the Province tend to have fewer entries. However, in the outlying districts where there are more inexperienced groups, the one-act play continues to dominate the picture. School festivals are on the increase, due in part to the interest inspired by visits of groups such as Holiday Theatre and the Bastion Theatre. Also, more teachers with experience are keen to impart their knowledge and enter festivals for adjudi cation and competition. Drama festivals continue to be a stimulus, and this spring 35 were held—12 for participation by schools, 15 for adult entries, and 8, combined with music, drama, and speech arts, were open to all ages and groups. Major festivals and activities were as follows:— (1) Provincial One-act Festival at Nanaimo. Won by Vernon Little Theatre. Adjudicator—Mr. G. Peacock, Edmonton. (2) Dominion Drama Festival Three-act Regional in Vancouver. Won by North Kamloops P.-T.A. Theatre Wing. This group took part in the Canadian finals in Charlottetown. (3) Provincial tours by Holiday Theatre and the Bastion Theatre in Victoria with programmes for schools, the latter on the Island only. The pro grammes were a great help to school drama. The Drama Division of the Community Programmes Branch appoints adjudi cators for all drama festivals held in British Columbia. An extensive service for leadership training is supplied through clinics and workshops, which are included in the statistics for this service under leadership. This is an invaluable asset to the promotion of drama in the Province. The British Columbia Drama Association, under the chairmanship of Mr. W. J. Zoellner, is a parent body to the drama clubs throughout the Province. The Community Programmes Branch works closely with the British Columbia Drama Association in festival and leadership promotion. The drama library, with its 15,000 books, is in constant use. Groups continue to borrow plays and books on theatre for production and study. Over 8,000 books, pamphlets, magazines, etc., were sent to the schools, teachers, organizations, indi viduals, etc. This vital service is especially appreciated where there is little money for purchase of necessary books. Stage equipment (curtains, lights, rheostats) is still required by small unequipped schools and halls, although most groups are purchasing the necessary equipment with profits from their productions. Well over 200 adult and school drama groups produce from one to six plays throughout the year. Many also present to the community an annual concert, pantomine, or other form of ei COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES BRANCH N 109
A very significant development in British Columbia drama is the increase in drama facilities. Several communities now have their own buildings, such as Ver non, Kelowna, White Rock, and Chilliwack. The growth of community drama will be greatly enhanced through facility development. The Drama Division of the Branch is closely associated with all drama in the Province, and the library resources are available to both professional and amateur groups. ADULT EDUCATION DIVISION (NIGHT SCHOOLS) (A. L. Cartier, M.A.) In the past five years the enrolment in public-school adult education pro grammes has doubled from 39,000 to 78,000. The total enrolment increased last year by 11 per cent. This increase is accounted for by a 37-per-cent increase in the number of adults taking academic courses for credit, and by a 23-per-cent increase in the number enrolled in vocational classes. A breakdown of enrolment figures is given below. Adult Day Schools The King Edward Adult School in Vancouver has inspired interest and similar initiative across Canada. Here in British Columbia, similar full-time day schools have been established in Kamloops, Penticton, Victoria, and Port Alberni. Plans are under way for similar developments at Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Vernon. These classes are organized to use existing facilities, usually on a second-shift basis. They provide an opportunity for adults to use leisure time to prepare themselves for better future employment or for further education.
Small-business Management Programme The small-business management programme, a joint project with the Federal Department of Labour, was started in September of 1963 and built up to 41 classes with over 1,000 owner-managers enrolled. In order to prepare Adult Education Directors to develop the programme locally and to train instructors in appropriate instructional techniques, regional workshops were held in Vancouver, Nelson, and Prince George. Mr. Cartier, who acts as Provincial supervisor of the small-business pro gramme, attended a two-week workshop for Provincial supervisors in Ottawa in
Programme for Indians—Leadership and Community Development Native Indians are beginning to participate more and more in the regular night-school classes. However, special classes have been organized for them in Duncan and Hazelton. These classes have been in basic education and home- making. The Community Programmes Branch has also collaborated with U.B.C. Exten sion in conducting a series of leadership workshops for Indian Affairs Branch staff and for Indian chiefs and counsellors. Three such workshops have been held this year on Vancouver Island, one at Merritt, and one at Prince Rupert. During the year an arrangement for a community development project at Port Simpson has been negotiated. The Port Simpson Band, the Federal Indian Affairs Branch, and the British Columbia Department of Education will share equally in the cost of providing a community development consultant for the area for a period of three years. His function will be to help the band members to discover how they can best use all the resources at their command in order to improve their standard of living and thus become self-sufficient. N no PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
In-service Training of Directors and Instructors One and two-day conferences for Adult Education Directors were held at j Creston, Nelson, Williams Lake, Nanaimo, and in the Fraser Valley. These confer- 1 ences have been concerned with developing better administrative practices and im proving adult education programmes. A new development this year has been the organization of workshops for instructors in order to train them in good instructional ' techniques in the teaching of adults. Workshops for instructors were held last year, in Victoria, Vancouver, Penticton, Surrey, Terrace, and Kelowna. Community Leadership Training A start has been made in conducting courses or workshops in leadership skills 1 for community leaders, especially in the areas of recreation and voluntary organiza- 1
A successful week-long leadership training programme formed part of the 1 Community Programmes Branch summer school in Kelowna. Some shorter week- 1 end leadership workshops are planned for the fall in the Cariboo and Peace River 1 areas in conjunction with Community Programmes Branch regional recreation 1 conferences.

The continued growth of adult education, particularly in the vocational and academic fields, is an indication of the growing emphasis which our society is put ting upon serious adult education. Through adult education we make better use of our educational facilities, develop the talents of our people, and build a society that passes on to the coming generation a sense of the value of learning.
AMATEUR SPORTS AND FITNESS DIVISION (K. K. Maltman, B.P.E., Co-ordinator) Although agreements between the Federal and Provincial Governments were not signed until late in the year, and subsequent problems precluded approval of projects until late in the fiscal year, the Sports and Fitness Office of the Community Programmes Branch was able to provide extensive aid to sports bodies. The interest of sports people and the number of activities aided throughout the Province through this office indicates a new era of sports and fitness growth in British Columbia. Communications A large volume of information sent to sports bodies and Recreation Commis sions resulted in a great increase in requests for aid. Twice the volume of mail was handled over the previous year. Many sports groups used the office for mimeographing; compilation of infor mation; typing of minutes, constitutions, brochures, etc. This has proven to be a greatly appreciated service in British Columbia.

Nineteen blind pupils were from the Province of Alberta. Of the total enrol ment, 127 pupils were boys and 159 were girls. During the course of the year, 31 pupils graduated, transferred, or left for one reason or another.
GENERAL REMARKS School reopened with nine new teachers and three resident instructors. Mrs. Ada McGregor retired as nurse-matron and was succeeded by Miss A. G. Pert. Mr. Eric Cardinall exercised part-time supervision of the resident instructors at the outset and was replaced later in the year by Mr. Glenn Parkinson. The number of Jericho Hill School graduates attending Gallaudet College was increased this past year by one. Miss Ellen Hughes, of Port Coquitlam, was ac cepted for full freshman standing, as had been the other three in the preceding year. Four seniors from this School and two from regular secondary schools suc cessfully passed the spring Gallaudet College entrance examinations. This brings to 10 the number of British Columbia students who will be attending the college for deaf in Washington, D.C., this fall. Mr. Theo Thomas, a teacher of the blind in New Zealand, spent four days visiting our school en route home after an 18-month tour of schools for the blind in Europe and this continent. He has since been appointed headmaster of the school for the blind in Auckland. The need for services of a counsellor for deaf adults and senior pupils received serious consideration and was discussed at length with Mr. Jack White, Director of Technical and Vocational Education. It was decided to continue with the ser vices available through Mr. Clarence Bradbury's rehabilitation department and the British Columbia youth counselling service. If and when the vocational school for handicapped becomes operative, a special counsellor would then be considered. Concern was expressed by a few staff members of the Canadian National Insti tute for the Blind with regard to some elementary blind children not in Jericho Hill School who do not have all the books required to keep up with sighted classes in public schools. After due consideration, the following two major decisions were reached with respect to this problem:— (1) Because of curriculum changes and the importance of learning special braille in Grade X for algebra and chemistry, along with geometry study procedures, students on the Academic Programme should not transfer to sighted schools until completion of Grade X. Teaching geography to the visually handicapped, Jericho Hill School. JERICHO HILL SCHOOL N 115
(2) Where other than senior secondary pupils are attending sighted schools, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind may deal with the blind client as it sees fit, and the School will assist according to its capabilities, as heretofore. Around the beginning of February, work was commenced on the construction of a 20-classroom Home Economics-Industrial Arts building for the deaf. This unit is to be completed early in 1965. The new boys' residence was officially opened on February 29th and named Tyler House, after Mrs. Annie B. Tyler, who served the school as supervisor and matron from 1923 until retirement in 1949. In addition to living-in accommoda tion, there are craft rooms, a recreational room, hobby rooms, a television room, study areas, and a meditation room where personal problems may be resolved in quiet surroundings. The opening ceremony was not confined entirely to the new residence. Recog nition was given to Miss Mabel N. Blake, teacher and vice-principal from 1922 to retirement in 1952. The present building for blind students, previously referred to as the Braille Building, was named Blake Hall. Tyler House was officially opened by the Honourable W. N. Chant, Minister of Public Works. Special guests included the Honourable Robert A. Bonner, Attorney-General; the Honourable Ralph Loffmark, Minister of Industrial Devel opment, Trade, and Commerce; Dr. William Plenderleith, Chairman of the School Advisory Committee; Col. J. N. Burnett, Superintendent of Richmond School District; Mr. A. E. Webb, Deputy Minister of Public Works; Rev. Francis Bruce, president of Vancouver and District Council of Churches; Dr. C. E. MacDonald, Superintendent of Jericho Hill School; Mr. D. McEwen, president of the P.-T.A. Deaf Department; and Mrs. W. Chilton, president of the P.-T.A. Blind Department. Early in the spring a 6-foot steel mesh fence was erected 10 feet in from our property-line along Eighth Avenue and along the west boundary of the school grounds. A portion of the south-west corner is on loan to Vancouver Parks Board as a public viewing area. Amongst our seniors this year, we had seven graduates from the Deaf Depart ment. In addition, there were five " leavers " and five blind and two deaf to be transferred in September to sighted secondary schools or to other schools for the
At the close of school, our blind pupils' band, under the direction of Mr. Cliff Bryson, was flown to Los Angeles to play at the 49th International Kiwanis Con vention. The reception accorded them was tremendous. For our children it was truly a dream come true. I wish to thank the Department of Education, the Advisory Committee, and staff for splendid support received throughout the school-year. PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64
OFFICE OF REGISTRAR AND DIVISION OF EXAMINATIONS
REPORT OF HARRY M. EVANS, B.A., REGISTRAR For reference convenience this report includes data covering a number of years.
TEACHER REGISTRATION AND CERTIFICATION I. Each teacher employed in the public schools must hold a valid certificate, and this office must establish certification and classification, maintaining an individual record for each person, including teaching service. The following chart shows developments in the past 10 years, and indicates that the number of individual service records to be maintained has increased by over 91 per cent in this period.

In 1963/64 there was an increase in the number of temporary certificates o letters of permission issued, reaching its highest point in numbers, but with a per centage of teachers employed less than in some years. Many of these persons si employed had undertaken a year of teacher-training but had not qualified fully for certification. The number of drop-outs rose significantly for this year, as did the | numbers of teachers employed. II. During the period up to the end of 1955/56, teacher-training was carried | out in normal schools or in the one-year course for graduates at the University Enrolments, therefore, in such one-year courses were easy to determine. Since I 1956/57 such training has been in the faculties of education of the universities, and | enrolment figures are more difficult to relate to completion of a basic teacher , training programme as enrolments cover all years of training. The following charts | however, covering some 14 years, permit of useful comparisons. OFFICE OF REGISTRAR AND DIVISION OF EXAMINATIONS N 117

The following table shows the certificate classifications awarded those in the ttaining-college in the year shown who were teaching in November of the year following; that is, actual supply from the training-college. Note that E-C supply dropped from 221 in 1959 to 99 in 1963, whereas E-B and E-A supply rose respec tively from 292 and 68 to 357 and 199. Similarly, P-C and P-B supply rose from 58 and 155 to 133 and 256 respectively.

IV. The following chart shows the certificate classification of those in the training-college in the year shown who were not teaching in November following. E-T and S-T indicate that had the individual taught a letter of permission would have been required. The figures do not include those who would not have received a certificate or been considered for a letter of permission nor those in programmes not normally leading to certification; for example, first-year elementary, various years secondary. Note that the numbers of persons eligible for a certificate who did not enter teaching the September following rose from 201 in 1959 to 539 in 1963, and that in the same period the level of certificate classification of these individuals rose significantly. The figures reflect the decision of trainees to undertake extended training for higher qualifications before commencing teaching, evident in other figures available. The process, temporarily at least, is aggravating numerical supply in terms of demand but fortunately is creating a pool of longer-trained persons who may be expected to enter teaching within the next year or two, thereby increasing numerical supply and quality supply.

VI. The employment of teachers with temporary certificates in 1959/60, ai October 31st, was as follows:—
Of the 369 persons with temporary certificates (letters of permission) in 1959/60, 335 were in regular public schools. In 1960/61 the total was 327, with 285 in public schools, in 1961/62 the total was 254, with 228 in public schools; in 1962/63 the total was 336, with 312 in public schools; and in 1963/64 the total was 376, with 345 in public schools.
VII. Since 1955 the Department of Education has co-operated with School Boards to obtain teachers from the United Kingdom, and in 1955 to 1960, inclusive, sent an interviewing officer in the early spring to select and recommend individuals for appointments. The procedure changed in 1961, and no interviewing officer proceeded overseas. An extensive file of material is provided to each applicant, with information concerning specific vacancies. Certification and experience are re corded and assistance given to applicants and Boards to assist in appointments. The numbers who have arrived under the immigration plan have been as follows:—

DC. Annually several thousand teachers' certificates have been issued to new teachers and to those who have qualified for permanent certification or for higher certification. Evaluations are completed for many teachers from other Provinces or countries who have submitted credentials for this purpose; a goodly number do not arrive. General inquiries are considered from outside teachers, numbering in the thousands. In addition, there are many inquiries from British Columbia teachers for evaluations, certification or experience changes, and assistance in learning of specific requirements or suitable training programmes. Since 1958 an individual teacher-docket system has been possible, leading to significant improvement in correspondence handling. There is some difficulty in keeping up with significant annual correspondence volume increase.
DIVISION OF EXAMINATIONS I. There has been a significant increase in examinations over the years. This Division has arranged for the preparation, printing, and distribution of the June University Programme (Grade XI-XH) and for the June and August Grade XIII examinations. Considerable administrative time is involved. It is also responsible for arrangements for marking, tabulating, and releasing results, appeals, and main tenance of records. The following tables give significant data:—

HI. There has been a very heavy increase in the number of requests for evaluations of academic standing from those who wish to enrol in British Columbia secondary schools or to take night-school or private-study courses to complete requirements, as well as from those who wish to undertake nurse's training or enter N 122 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT, 1963/64

IV. Scholarship Awards, 1964.—For many years the Department of Education announced, on behalf of the University of British Columbia, the names of winners of the 15 General Proficiency Scholarships for University Entrance awarded jointly by the University and Chris Spencer Foundation. It also announced the winners of the six Royal Institution Scholarships for Grade XHI. In 1964 and following years such announcements are made by the University of British Columbia. The top-ranking scholarship candidates for 1963/64 on Departmental exami- nations appear below in academic order:— | Percent 1 ^^nJZTJ:fr^ Govern,, ^^^^ aMI_^^= iSs^^== l£2SS__z__zzzzz l55JSen">rsecond"y _S-5£Snu>,?S_isburg

In 1959, for the first time in British Columbia, the Government entered the field of extensive scholarship awards to secondary-school graduates, Grade XIII students, and to students of the University of British Columbia and Victoria College. To qualify to receive an award in 1964, candidates must be domiciled in the Pro vince, are required to apply, and must undertake a full-year winter-session under graduate programme at the University of British Columbia or University of Victoria or in Grade XHI in public secondary schools of the Province, or approved full-year winter-session undergraduate programme at the Notre Dame University of Nelson. Selection of winners is made on the basis of the final examinations of Grade XII or Grade XIII or of the Universities of British Columbia or Victoria or Notre Dame. There are two awards—first class, for all students who obtain an average of 80 per cent or higher based on a full year's programme, and second class, available for up to 2,500 top-ranking students with high second-class standing. The second-class awards are divided among GradeXII (University Programme), Grade XIII, Univer sities of British Columbia, Victoria, Notre Dame undergraduate students, and among the various faculties and groups roughly proportionate to enrolment. First-class awards amount to one-half the tuition fee of the next year of undergraduate study, and second-class awards similarity to one-third the tuition fee. An average of at least 70 per cent, subject to minimum adjustment for certain groups, is required for a second-class award. Awards vary in amount, depending on the institution and faculty attended. The plan commenced with those writing examinations at the end of 1958/59, with awards being made to those who would undertake training in 1959/60, and has continued similarly annually with an increase in 1963 from 2,000 to 2,500 for second-class awards and with broader provision made this year for awards for study to be taken at Notre Dame University. Candidates writing University Programme or Grade XTTT examinations apply through the Division of Examinations, and university students through their respec tive Universities. All application are then considered by the Scholarship Selection Committee, representative of the Universities of British Columbia and of Victoria, and the Department of Education, chaired by the Registrar. Notification to all candidates is made from the Registrar's office, with cheques issued through the Departmental Comptroller.

In 1964, using I.B.M. tabulations, listed were distributed showing all scholarship candidates in the school district, arranged by schools. Successful candidates were arranged in academic rank and non-successful candidates alphabetically. II. The Provincial Government, with some assistance from the Federal Govern- 1 ment, annually provides Government bursaries to assist students to undertake 1 further training. An average of 65 per cent is required, together with evidence of 1 financial need. Assessment is based on the last academic studies undertaken. Awards vary from $50 to $300, depending on academic standing and need, with most awards in the range $100 to $150. These awards may be made available to 1 those undertaking undergraduate university studies within the Province (Universities 1 of British Columbia, Victoria, and Notre Dame), recognized nurse's training in the 1 Province, and for recognized university study outside British Columbia in under- graduate courses of training not available in this Province; for example, veterinary All bursary applications proceed through the Registrar's office, and Bursary Selection Committees, representative of the universities and chaired by the Registrar, determine awards. Notification to all candidates is made from this office, with cheques issued through the Departmental Comptroller. . Figures covering Government bursaries follow, based on applications received by the deadline. A relatively large number of applications cannot be considered because of late submission.

In 1959 a significant change was made in respect of loan assistance. By amendment to the British Columbia University Act, authority was given for establish ment of the Student Aid Loan Fund of up to $2,000,000. A joint committee, composed of two representatives of the University and two representatives of the Department of Education (at present the Registrar and the Departmental Comp troller), authorizes loans. The Department of Education no longer provides loans. Loan assistance may be provided to undertake undergraduate training at the Univer sity of British Columbia, University of Victoria, the Vancouver School of Art, or recognized university undergraduate training outside the Province when such train ing is not available in British Columbia. Loan awards have been as follows:— 1959/60 . 843 $397,570 1960/61 842 435,130 1961/62 • 875 475,186 1962/63 694 389,378 1963/64 844 457,239 STRATHCONA TRUST For many years the Province has participated in the Strathcona Trust. An annual grant has been received, in recent years approximating $1,600, with the moneys to be utilized to encourage physical fitness in the schools and cadet-training and rifle shooting. Cadet awards have been made to the four leading corps for proficiency, to the National Cadet Camp, to the annual Cadet Trades Training Camp at Vernon, for cadet rifle-shooting competition, and to British Columbia cadets attending Bisley. Physical Education Shield awards have been provided for each district super intendency, with four in Vancouver and two in Victoria, for presentation to the schools showing the greatest proficiency or the most significant improvement. These awards were discontinued at the end of 1959/60, with the shield to be retained by the winning school and utilized for internal competition within the school. To recognize and encourage physical education, Strathcona Trust bursaries have been provided in recent years to teachers wishing to undertake further under graduate course work in physical education. These bursaries recently have been $125 in value. Five awards were made on 1958/59 standings, five on 1959/60 six on 1960/61, five on 1961/62, five on 1962/63, and five on 1963/64. The Local Committee, Strathcona Trust for British Columbia, administers the moneys received, and consists of military representatives and representatives of the Department of Education.

The Registrar acts as Secretary, Board of Examiners for Certification of Professional Librarians, maintains records, and issues certificates authorized. Since new regulations were introduced, the numbers of certificates issued were as follows: 1955, 57; 1956, 62; 1957, 16; 1958, 18; 1959, 10; 1960, 17; 1961, 10; 1962, 40; 1963, 7. EDUCATION OF SOLDIERS' DEPENDENT CHILDREN ACT N 127 EDUCATION OF SOLDIERS' DEPENDENT CHILDREN ACT REPORT OF MRS. FREDA KINSMAN, SECRETARY TO THE COMMISSION During the school-year 1963/64 a total of 389 applications was considered by the Commission. Of these, 53 were turned down, the chief reason being that family income was higher than that set by the Commission for grant purposes. Three hundred and thirty-six applications were approved for grants, an increase of 93 over the previous year. Students were distributed by grades as follows: Grade IX, 89; Grade X, 87; Grade XI, 98; Grade XII, 56; Occupational II and III, 6. During the year 15 students dropped out and grants were discontinued. The students in the greatest financial need received $80 for the year; the balance received $70.
