Home and School Workshop News On Tuesday, October 30, from 7.46 to 10.30 pm. at Powell Road School, a most interesting evening took place. The Public Relations group was under direction ,of Mr. R. M. Sherk, vicewpresident of Ontario Federation of H & S. This class was well attended and dealt with public relations in all phases. It was pointed out that good public relations begin in the home. In a home where co-operation, honesty in dealings, kindness and tolerance are taught, a child has the greatest start in understanding public rela- tions. Next came the point of teen-agers being able to feel that home is the best place possible to be, where their friends are wel- come and hospitality is ShOWn~ to the individual youth. Then the relationship established between the teacher and child, and the parent and child was stressed. Sometimes a youngster can be very upset over What seems a minor detail. to a grown‘person. Things such as not being able to take some small incidental from home, which a teacher might request for. their‘ projects or programs within the classroom. It was asked that all parents do their best to see that these little things are not pushed aside as of little importance to the child, as they do cause frustration to the child. Also stated was the fact of any misunderstanding aris- ing at the school in relation to the youngster. This should be dealt with in a fair and human aspect by the parent and a time made with a teacher or principal to talli things over and smooth things out, instead of holding ill feelings indefinitely. A teacher is trained for her posi. tion but is still only a human be- ing and in dealing with a class of 20 to _40 children, not always feel- ing 100%, as we sometimes are ourselves, their patience must be taxed at times, when we stop to realize that our own are sometimes pretty thin. A training workshop for the North and North-East areas of York County was held under the direction of Mrs. H. E. LeMasurier, Langstaff, who is vice-president.of the York County Council of Home and School for this area. This conâ€" sisted of representatives from twenty associations and numbered 112 persons who registered for the evening program. A most inspir- ing, instructive and enjoyable time was had ‘by all. The workshop was divided into four sections of vital points in home and school work. The r ationship of school boards and H S was discussed. Those speaking on the question were Mrs. Francis Lee, of Aurora Board of Education, and Mr. Jackson Tay- lor, public relations representative from our own local school board. Both parties Were quite emphatic in saying that Home and School work was Vital to the school child- ren, the community and the board HIGHLAND PARK NEWS MRS. WALTER SANDERS 23 Drury Ave. Telephone: Thornhill 443.1 and the individual. The work the home and school is doing is great- ly appreciated. Mr. Sid Griffith, chairman of the board also com- plimented the associations. He has always been most‘co-operative to' our local association. Aims and principles and leader- ship were dealt with in another room by Mrs. P. A. McLelland, the president of York County H & S Council. Here was stressed that H&S is truly democratic and al- ways should try to do all things in a democratic way. It gives some people their first chance- to learn democracy, when from other lands or from some of our own homes where rules and regulations were laid down by parents and followed regardless of the individual’s own feelings. Our aims are to better education. a1 standards for all,,parents as well as children, and to always try to conduct projects that include all the community’s interests, mainly the children. A good leader al- ways tries to make everyone at ease and able to go home feeling they have gained something from participation in our group. ‘Procedure and administration was handled by Mrs. R. A. Taylor, Ontario Federation viceâ€"president. This group were very lively anu asked _Mrs. Taylor many questions and received direct and instructive advice. All things should be hand- led in a brief business-like manner and many points brought up should be given careful consideration for the betterment of the community and children especially. Last; but not least was the con-l ference held by our own district vice-president Mrs. LeMasurier, who dealt with problems of rural schools. Though we think we are much the same as city folk, dif- ferent points must be considered in bringing out our parents and tea- chers. Parents should try to share rides,‘ etc. Our teachers are. some- times from distances inconvenient to their attending meetings and some gestures of consideration such as inviting teachers for dinner, or putting on a buffet supper in the school for them does help solve this point. They thought our as- ;sociations in outlying section should :make every effort to support cir- culating libraries, sponsor visits to thuseum, art displays and such for the further development of the lchildren.
