Excerpt from Report of the Minister of Education, Province of Ontario, for the Year 1942In secondary schools there has been a marked decline in the pupil enrolment. In the Collegiate Institutes, High and Continuation Schools there was a decrease of pupils, in the Vocational Schools the decline was even more marked because of the greater opportunities afforded to the pupils of these schools, under present conditions, to obtain immediate and lucrative employment.In 1942 pupils who enlisted for farm service and were employed for at least thirteen weeks on the farm, were, in accordance with the practice previously adopted, granted certificates in those subjects in which they had maintained a satisfactory standard throughout the shortened school year. Many pupils left school about Easter, and the opening of the schools was deferred until late in September. It is estimated that about 20, 000 secondary school pupils were employed on farms during 1942. Through the efforts of these boys and girls a valuable contribution was made to our war effort.Throughout the year there has been in many communities, both urban and rural, a growing interest in the matter of a health programme in our schools. This interest has arisen through the introduction into the schools of courses in Health Education, and also through the rejection for physical reasons of a large number of applicants for admission to the armed services. In some schools a system of medical examination has been in operation for some time. The ex tension of such a plan is particularly difficult at present because of the lack of trained personnel to carry on the programme. This is one of the many problems it will be necessary to consider after the war.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
