N\ _ of es THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1958 N. K. &EATHERDALE — EP! TOR AND Authorize das Second Class Mail, Post Office An Independent Weekly Newspaper Serving Olds and District 1 Wla.G a PUBLISHER partment, Ottawa, Canada The School Situation The opening of the new school in Olds Friday points up one or two developments that have taken place in education in Olds during the years since World War 2. The first of these was the construction of a six room addition to the old public schoo! some five years ago. Thisaddition was planned to meet the needs of ihe Olds schoo! for five years. It was filled the day it was opened. At that time the Board of Trustses of the Olds Schcol Dist- rict sGoggsted to the Olds School Division that the fatter shou!d_buiid the next schooi, a high scnooi, in or near Olds. Two years ago, Mr. H. Teskey, then principal of the Olds oi, pointed out to the Board of the Olds ning additional space. He pointed to the enrolment which was forcing double grades in the Olds School in the elementary clas- This | would extend upwards High and eventually to the level. The Board of Trustees the Department of Educe- scho Schoo! District the need for plan- ses. tion, Nir. and in the tighi ing in 1956-57 th ned and buii and ren in 1957. While these plans were going on, the Olds Schoo! Board of Trustees appreciated the difficuitics being encountered: by the Olds School Division’ in offering education a high — standard, both at the pubiic school and high school level to stu- dents of the rural area adjaceni to the Olds School District. Education was given to “youngsters sent to the Olds Schoo! at the nearest dollar cost to the taxpayers-of the School District. At the same time the local M. L. A. was contacted and asked to make representation on behalf of the Board of e the Olds School District for the formation ~ -of a new schoo! division co-terminous with the Olds electoral! district and excluding the. portion in Knee Hill Municipatity. This representation was made and turned: down by the Minister of Education. At a recent meeting with Dr. Chalmers of the Depart- "of the increasing difficulty to obtain highly ment of. Education, the Board of the Olds School District. asked for the creation. of a new consolidated school district taking in the area which could be normally term- ed the Olds shopping or trading area. No- thing has come of this request. _ We do not propose to speak on behalf of the Board of the Olds School District in any official capacity. We relate hear only events as they have happened. As in the tield of municipal assistance, so with edu- cation,*the Olds School District is right, at the bottom when it comes to receiving grant assistance from the provincial govern- ment. Representation was made to Hon. ivir. Ryerson Minister of Industries and La- bor, to. Hon. Mr. Hooke, Minister of Muni- cipal Affairs and to Mr. Aalborg, Minister of Education, pointing ‘out these inequati- ties in the grant set-up. The Board was as- sured that these inequalities would be set- tled in 1957. It is now 1958 and the Board is determined to wait until after the pres- ent session of the legislature at least to coe what changes are put into effect and what effect these changes will have in the school financial picture, before making any bold moves. ; : Now another event in the education pai- tern in the Olds area is shaping up. The Board of Trustees of the Olds School Divi- sion are proceeding with plans for the con struction of a new elementary and high school to serve the area not only east of Olds but sone of the small schoo! districts north and west of the town as well. No one can dispute the need for the construc- tion of a public school to serve the area east of the town of Olds. The area to the west has its centralized public sctiool at Hainstock — the. area to the east is in just as dire a need of a centralized school. However, the matter of a high school in this area is a matter that needs the most careful scrutiny. There will be a tremen- dous duplication. of service and,in the light qualified high school teachers, the moye may be very unwise. Business and Professional ORME Funeral Home .
