Dana Porter, Minister of Educa- tion, we feel that many of our readers will be interested in the following article, written by Miss Edna. Izzard, which describes steps being taken by secondary school teachers in connection with the change-over. It is hoped that in the near future an article along sometvhat similar lines, detailing the effect of the changes on the public school system, will be av- ailable for publication in The Lib- eral. EDITOR.) Last Friday and Saturday. the Permanent Committee on EducaJ tional Research held a two-day conference in Victoria College, Toronto. Twenty-five secondary School teachers representing ev- ery district in Ontario and almOst every phase of high school educa- tion studied reports brought in by several of their number on the system-Wide curriculum research and the wide-sweeping changes in Secondary Education undertaken in Great Britain and in various states of America, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida and California. Though the conference was call- ed before the Porter pronounce- ment, the Minister’s statement gave some direction and added some urgency to the discussions. Miss McGonigle, president of the Ontario Teachers’ Federation, laid before the convention the Minis- ter’s plans as far as he had form- ulated them. Miss Izzard of Rich mond Hill presented the first of the reports to be discussed: The British Education Act of 1944 and its implementation. After the re- ports were received and discuSSEd, Dr. Phillips, professor of Educa- tion at 0.C.E., addressed the tea- chers on trends in our Canadian culture which will influence our educational systems; he also pre- sented the latest statistics of our Ontario secondary schools. (Dr. Phillips’ address was reported in the Toronto papers, November 12.) The curriculum studies and the resulting changes have been made over the last ten years. The rea- sons for the changes are common to all and obtain here in Ontario. They are (a) the great increase in secondary school enrolment and (b) the withdrawal of such large numbers before completing Grade X. Since 1900, the increase in Ontario amounts to 400%. In 1948 17,000 pupils in Grades IX and X left school; economic press- ure was not the chief' cause. The schools simply had nothing to of- fer these boys and girls to hold their interest. The High School, as we know it was not designed for such boys and girls. It was orig- inally established to prepare stu- dents for the professions. Its course of studies leads to Univer- sity entrance. Its grade system is a system of screening; the pros- pective employer is not so much interested in the education the student has acquired as in the fact that he is one who has come through the screening. In order to be prepared to give their professional assistance in implementing the changes in On- tario, this committee of teachers is initiating an immediate piece 0f research. Research councils are to be set up immediately in every district in Ontario. These councils are to consist of teachers, board' members and citizens. Their task is to determine (a) at what levels junior and senior high schools should emerge, (b) their purpose and programme and (c) the certi- fication of teachers in the junior high school. sIn respect to (a) it is to be noted that experience has proved already that the junior high school should not include Grade X. Forest Hill Village reached that conclusion after a five- year experiment. Such a High School ‘obviously does not fulfil the ideal of equal opportunity for all our boys and girls. In the pamphlet prepared by the Minister‘ in England to in- terpret the Act of 1944 (which set up three types of high schools in the attempt to meet the needs of all) there is this statement. “To neglect the needs of any child by favouring a type of education suited to particular abilities, is a sacrifice that this country cannot afford to make." It is to be hoped that there will be interested citizens in Richmond Hill who will be ready to serve the cause of our youth by sharing the work of such a research council. the teaching of English. Richmond Hill is in District 8. Our district has consistently pro- vided the Federation with able leaders and is well represented on this Research Committee by Miss Snell; Mr. Tough and Miss Lessere of Forest Hill Village; Miss Paul of Etobicoke; Mr. Rutherford and Miss Elder of York Memorial; and Miss Izzard, chairman of the pro- vincial committee on the Teaching of Citizenship. The representa- tives of District 8 are meeting with those from‘ Toronto to plan the organization of research coun- cils in all parts of our area. The Maple Community & School Club will hold a euchre in the Ma- sonic Hall, Maple, on Wednesday evening, November 30, at 8 pm. An invitation has been extended to the Vellore Euchre Club, and this promises to be a lively evening. Refreshments will be served. Correspondent: Mrs. D.

Henry, later Premier of Ontario: “Resolved that in the op- inion of this Council, it is advis- able and expedient that a' child- dren’s aid society be formed in the County of York.” From this point onward annual Count) grants have been made toward the efficient ex- ecution of all that this resolution implied, and associated with this execution have been such well- known County citizens as Mr. R. P. Coulson, Magistrate William Keith, Lieutenant Colonel George Little, Doctor Hugh M. Cook, Mrs. Howard Cane, Mrs. William J. Noble, Mr. William J. O’Brien and many others. In 1934 a Board of Directors, under Mrs. Harold F. Ritchie, ap- pointed to the post of Executive Director an able and experienced social worker in the person of Mrs. Jule S. Driscoll and arranged for the transfer of the Society head- quarters from 9 Toronto Street to 73 St. Clair Avenue East, Toronto, where the increasing responsibil- ities of the Agency could be more adequately administered during what proved to be the most stren- uous years in the history of Cana- dian Welfare. During the period of Mrs. Rit- chie’s leadership the increasing de- mands on the services of the Ag- ency, occasioned through depress- ion and war, developed in the minds of both board and staff a recognition 'of needed changes in service methods. Upon the re- tirement of Mrs. Ritchie from 'the Presidency in 1945 and the election of Mr. F. G. Gardiner, K.C. to the post, negotiations for the more ad- equate quarters now occupied were initiated. In 1947 a. plan involv- ing a staff training By the Agency through the co-operation of the University of Toronto, the appoint- ment of an Assistant Executive Director and the departmentaliza- tion of all social and administra- tive services was implemented and is still developing. One Of Canada’s Largest Since its inception the Society has been interested as a welfare agency not only in the many thou- sands of children and families which have received care and as- sistance, but in its County and cit- izens generally. It has in conse- quence tried to serve in accordance with such standards of the day as were consistent with rising costs and the wishes of a progressive and exacting population. Today as one of the largest organizations of its kind in Canada, it stands second to none in point of accomp- lishment and determination to maintain the highest possible stan dards of service. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv v vvvvv *‘mm SHOE STORE .‘lxl’l'mnl_‘\4- if“ If you’re in the mar- \s ket to buy a new pair of IT?

Mortson TELEPHONE 93 Recognition of this attainment by authorities in the field is ap- parent from the recent rating of the Society by the Department of Public Welfare as a. Class “A” agency; one of two in the Province of Ontario. This achievement should give satisfaction not only to the Board, staff and foster par- ents of the Society but to the County as a whole, since the qual- ity of service now rendered would not be possible were it not for the co-operative spirit demonstrated by the private citizen, the public ofl’icial and the County Council throughout nearly forty years. With a view not only to intel- ligent self-interest has the Coun- ty through its Children’s Aid So- ciety, succeeded in lessening some of its local social questions, but with an understanding interest in the problems of every municipal tax payer, it has contributed markedly through the leadership and interpretation of its Child- ren’s Aid Society President to the assumption by the Province of twenty-five percent of the c st to municipalities of mainéining children in the care of children’s aid societies. Our request for a discarded um- brella stand in our last; notes has been taken care of by an interested donor to whom we show our ap- preciation and thanks in this pub- lic notice. Another installment of new books arrived this week. To the admirers of that loved Scottish bard, Robbie Burns, we would recommend “The Wonder of the Gay World,” a continuance of Barkes other novels, “The Wind that Shakes the Barley,” and “The Song in the Green Thorn Tree”. You must read these to enjoy and understand his latest. In this book Rob reaches his peak of fame, but in spite of all the pomp and glory bestowed on him in Edin- burgh, he never forgets his lowly Ayrshire years of joy and poverty 'and misgivings. His thoughts dwell on his lovely Jean Armour whom he later marries and for whom he frames the words for his honeymoon song, loved by every Scot the world over: “Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw, I dearly lo’e the West, For there the bonnie lassie lives, The lass I lo’e the best.” Richmond .Hill Library Notes IF IT’S HARDWARE WE SELL IT RICHMOND HILL HARDWARE RICHMOND HILL Phone 426 Your Librarian see THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs‘day, Nov. 24, 1949 DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME MARKET MORE MILK by following the Master Calf Feeding Program.
