Miss Vick-:j;8, .Miss, Rivett, Miss Halliwell, Messrs, Stocks, llalleran and W. W. C. O'NjbM, secretary. .By invitation the following members of the Board of School Trustees were present, Mrs. Spen cer, Messrs. McMeekin, Gilchrist, Bdrrte and also Mr. Rochester. The president congratulates (he trustees on their election and welcomed them to the meeting. Th Federation was interested in their problems and he could as sure the Board that they could rely on their hearty co-operation in every possible way. He felt that on certain points the Federation should be consulted. In many ways the teachers bad gone out of there way to Improve the city schools. They had by concerts raised considerable sums of money to supply the schools with supplementary readers to the number of hundreds; pianos, sports equipment and magic lantern had been supplied through the same channels and this was practical evidence of the interest the teachers showed in their ef forts to keep the schools up to Hate and to give the children every opportunity to acquire the education that modern life de rifeuds. And it was with the -de sire of helping the board in the many problems that awaited them that the Federation had invited1 them to hear Mr. Fraser speak on one of the more recent devlon-runts of educational practice, that of the Junior High School. I Mr. Fraser'H Address Mr. Fraser prefaced his talk by referring to the fact that though to us the Junior High School was a eotnparatively new term it was St least fifteen years old in the Statas and introduced the older r'tte of English and European schools in beginning secondary education at an earlier age than had hitherto been the custom in Canada. Dut he emjihasied the fact that this was a school organised as a distinctively Canadian School to meet Canadian cotjditionj. It Is generally accepted that there U a marked gap between elementary and high schools in B.C., the gulf In some centres being much greater than in others. The break is a result of a dif ferent curriculum, different methods and a different type of (Haeipiine. One aim of the Junior Hfeh School is to bridge this ZM$rHy reeogttUed gulf. ; In grades 1 to C in the elemen- Uly. schools the "tool" subjects orv'laufht, In the senior grades pujifls are taught to use these tools but there are no optional subjects. The Junior High School would provide a gradual and less abrupt transition from the elem antary to the high school. Its Scope Hut of much more importance is the necessity for providing suit able educational environment for all children of the early adoles-sent period. In H.C. all children to the age of fifteen must at teatl public schools. The Junior High School wmild consist of the MilHis of the w,' 'present grade eevan and eiKl$$f"he elementary ftehofll and grade nine of the hitjh schools. To carry out this rojrram Involves an enlarged i. ltd extended background nf experiences, ample provision for ' - integrating education, wjr abundant facilities for the progressive discovery and experimental direction of pupils' interests, aptitudes and abilities, adc- jqiiHte provision for Individual J differences and inereimed oppor- tunities for development of lead ership and for learning social co operation and democratic leader ship. The Junior High School also aims at providing equality of edu- .Trustee Also Attend Meeting to;e8 0njy Hear H. C. I-raser Speak I , t.,n w nPfJVa on Junior High School j., .,, nm, ft,B .

The Junior ltigli .school curriculum provides that u pupil may try out the different courses and find out in as short time as possible which ones suit him best. He is not too old then to concentrate on those which ap peal to him. And this efferts economy of time in education in the ehalr and other members EHmlnale Waste lircBent included Miss Mercer.

Department of Education of IthTV 18Sd provision is made for ik Junior High School with aji, hours a day divided into eight periods of forty-five minutes. TjhU gives forty periods per week. In grade seven thirtj-ihjree of these would be' given up to constant subjects and seven to optional subjects. In grade eight thirty would be "constant" and ten would be given to option al subjects while in grade, nine twonty would be given to con- atant and an equal number to optional subjects. The staff of the Junior High Schools requires that half of the teachers be graduates of a recognized university and the other half must have first class cer tificates. Special teachers mav be engaged for jpecial subjects. Mr. Fraser's comparison of the situation in Prince Rupert re- itordlng the vast changes in num bers of 'teachers and pupils in tight years was of unusual internet. Where in 1921 there were H divisions and 800 pupils there are now 30 divisions and 1,075 pupils increases respectively of f25jmd 54.pent.. Further em phasizing our Present inadequate equipment It was pointed out that in high kchopl another commer cial teacher is needed, and at least another In Borden and Booth Schools. While if the rec ent suggested proposals of the Minister of Education are effec ted in which it is provided that there shall be not more than- 35 pupils In a classroom, there will be ned of even more teachers. There are now fifteen rooms in the city with more than thirty- nve pupils In them. The recommendations of the School Survey of 1325 were made when there were 175 pupils In grades seven and eight in Pririct Rupert, whereas there are now two hundred and elghly pupils in thM grade, an increase of sixty INHit. It is evident that there Is brewing need for hew buildings A very, hearyt vole of thanks wa accorded Mr. Fraser for his Instructive " and enlightening ad dress.
