Saskatchewan Golden Jubilee School Histories 1905-1955 Introduction Saskatchewan Provincial Archives Finding Aid Number IR21 ~ Index A collection of historical school facts |
Note: The actual Golden Jubilee School History Booklets are not online as of this date ~ only the index and a few facts gleaned from a sampling of booklets are online. Permissions would be needed from the school district for online publication as copyright is still valid for Canada; copyright length. If any school district wishes to submit permissions granted, then that booklet in the attached index could be put online. ;-)INTRODUCTION"Since the pupils of our schools should have an active part in celebrating Saskatchewan's Golden Jubilee, the Department of Education, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Teacher's Federation, has planned a social studies unit to make this participation possible." -Department of Education to all schools in the province of Saskatchewan 1944-1945 school year. An outline was sent out, not to be adhered to precisely, but rather used as a guide to follow in order to set out an illustrated and written booklet regarding the history of the school community. All pupils, where possible are encouraged to partake in the project, and the teacher should encourage an student editor to coordinate the several aspects and turnings of the project. Those in the class should return to the appointed editor with interviews of individuals in the community, maps and charts drawn up, and stories written of the history in the area. The teachers were briefed as to which aspects of the standard course curriculum in social studies could be omitted to allow for time to be allocated in school for the historical booklet research. When the booklet is finished the aim is to display the finished result at exhibitions, libraries or other centres for viewing. It was thought that the local newspapers or the community board of trade may desire to use portions of the completed historical booklet in print. |

Saskatchewan Golden Jubilee School Histories 1905-1955 Finally some caretaking concerns were briefly gone over, such as including a table of contents as well as a table of illustrations. The booklet should be paginated, and have adequate margins on each page. A bibliography should be included in the historical booklet or state the sources of information; where applicable the full and correct names listed of those authorities interviewed. Care should be taken to include the names of the students involved in the project as well as the school district name and the supervising teacher. Any original materials such as photographs should be copied and returned to their rightful owners. |
