NEWTON BROOK LAURIA MOTOR SALES quest of School Inspectors Messrs. M. Hallman and J. H. Campbell. were challenged by Mr. Hallman to re-assess educational problems and procedures so that pupils may be. provided with more opportunity to benefit from their school car- eer. The meeting broke up into three discussion groups; the tea- chers of the Primary Division (Grades 1, 2, 3); the Junior Divis- ion (Grades 4. 5, 6) and the ele- mentary schools’ part of the Inter- mediate Division (Grades 7. 8). Among the topics discussed Should all pupils spend one year in each grade? With this problem in mind .some eighty teachers from Concord. Markham, Milliken. Richmond Hill, Unionville and School Area One met at the new Henderson Avenue School recent- For the teacher's study. the com- mittee also led in discussing var- ious trends in the elementary school writing course. Different textbooks on writing were review- ed and after discussion. the teach- ers formulated an over-all writing programme for the pupils of the School Area. This programme, being progressive. will provide a gradual growth in writing profic- iency from Grade I to Grade VIII. Under the chairman, Mr. Gorâ€" don Learn. a committee made up of Mrs. H. Hill. Miss J. Bryson. Mrs. E. Miller and Mr. E. Dunning, began the study by procuring samples of writing from each grade in the Area. In order to provide a detailed picture. three samples of writing were submitted from each grade in the seven schools. The three samples were the best writing of the good writers, the average writers and the poorer writers. These 168 carefully- sel- ected samples provided the teach- ers, at the April Teachers’ Meet- ing, with representative material from which to form a picture of the Area writing accomplishments. After study. three representative samples were chosen for each grade, thus reducing the 168 sam- ples to 24 samples. These twenty- four samples will be made into a guide to writing progress and ach- ievement for the School Area. 15 writing important? The mem- bers of the School Area Stafi, with the assistance of Public School In- spectors M. Hallman and J. C.

Canada's health record is good and getting better. Unfortunately. deaths from accidents are not in the goodonews class. They are increasing. The only way that this death toll can be lessened is for every individ- ual Canadian to conduct his own personal‘safety campaign. The man who drives a car while knowing that his driving ability is impair- ed by faulty eyesight, hearing or ill health stands a chance of in- creasing these accident figures. SYMPTOMS 0F TB In some cases of tuberculosis. ‘lhere are no symptoms in the ear- liest stages which can be detected by the patient or the layman. A person may look and feel well; he may. perhaps. tire more quickly but there is often no cough or other indication of TB, and any loss of weight may be regarded as a nor- mal condition. The only way to be sure of discovering tuberculosis early enough for it to be almost certainly cured is to have regular chest xâ€"rays, available in most communities free of charge. QUALITY NOT QUANTITY It is hard to believe that a per- son may overeat and still suffer malnutrition .isn't it? But proper nutrition depends upon selection and quality of food. not on the quantity. Very often. the person who eats a balanced diet with the necessary amount of proteins, minerals and vitamins. may find it sufficient to consume much less foods than some one who eats meals deficient in any of these nec- essary classes of nutritives. Better still. a balanced diet has less ten- dency to add unwanted weight. At a later meeting. the princi- pals and teachers of the Primary Division will again meet along with representative members of School Boards and Home and School As- sociations. 'were: individual difierences in ab- ility and aptitude: methods used locally to accommodate individual pupil differences; schemes in use in Hamilton, Kingston and Ottawa; methods which could be used 10- cally to insure that school is l continuing process of growth un- hampered by artificial stopping points. At the conclusion of the group discussions. the meeting considered the findings of each group and planned to hold further meetings to determine which pat- tern of organization should be ad- opted.

Credit for "classilying” the advertisements is given to Ben- jamin B. Day, who founded the New York Sun in 1833. Wants ads have furnished one of the richest sources for his- torians seeking to learn about the everyday life of Americans. News stories in colonial newspapers often were colored according to the publisher’s ideas. but want ads were honest and forthright, tean researchers about the needs and interests of our ancestors.
