The latter procedure insures a good foundation. its advocates believe, and it has ,been found quite a number of slow learners “catch up" in later levels. It is possible by eighth grade to have completed the 24 levels in seven years and be ready for secondary school work. Always “Go Ahead" Trustee L. D. Clement wanted to know the feeling of the staff in regard to the .level system. Mr. Rose stated he had had no complaints and felt the teachers were in favor of it. Inspector W. J. McLeod in a letter to the board -indicated he was pleased with the progress in the local school system. .Trustee H. Sanderson desired an explanation for low percent. age in the accelerated stream at McConaghy School where it is .only 5%. Mr. Rose said there was a variation possible in the year by year averages. He felt perhaps there was a more can tious attitude on the part of some of the‘ teachers there due to some over acceleration sevâ€" era_l years ago. Inspectorate tests are given in the 8th grade. These are a com prehensive check on the reading, spelling, composition and arith- metic ability of the child com- pleting ‘public school by the De- pagtment of Egucation Inspector. Mr. Rose pointed out that un- der this system the child was al- ways “going ahead even if slow- ly.” Level tests. prepared by the start out the year with two levels and achievement tests aid in as- certaining the proper level for a child. It is possible a class may staff and uniform for the system. in the room. however, Mr. Rose contends these usually end up divided into three. All levels in a particular classroom are taught by the same teacher, who often has three separate groups at work at the same time, at other times the class participates in an activity as a unit. Trustee L. Clement said it apâ€" tion to over-ambitious parents and said the exceptional child was not always the one who was accelerated. Trustee L. Clement said it ap peared any child would have a comprehensive education under this system and \he stated furâ€" ther, “The problem of accelera- tion is a complex one." Supervising Principal Duard Rose presented a table showing the averages for total enrollment and also for the four individual schools. based on three levels; slow, average an accelerated. He emphasized that local teachers and principals have been work- ing diligently on the programme. Mr .Rose said the teachers were told their ability was not being judged by the number of pupils accelerated but the teachers were to assess each child in the light of his needs and abilities. The averages this year over the whole system worked out to 73% in the average stream, 17% in the slow stream, and 10% in the ac- celerated stream. It was pointed out a Child who requires more time for absorb- ing his course, is not the same as a child needing the benefit of an opportunity class. To be in an opportunity class the child least two years and needs spec has usually fallen behind at least two years and needs spec- ial attention to develop his po- tentialities. Some children would. it was suggested. benefit by an academic-vocational class, or Grade 81,4; before entering high school. The local board hopes to discuss the possibility of the av ailability o fsuch a program with the Education Committee of the York Central District High School Board later to ascertain whether such a class would be better in elementary or second- ary schools. Average Stream Important Public School Board An evaluation of the level sys- tem now in operation in the pub- lic schools in Richmond Hill, took up most of the evening at last Thursday's meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Public School Board. Chairman R. Ross commented “It's the average stream where Study Results Of The Local Level System Fleet Street s60 Clothes Regular $75.00 202;, Property values would inevit- ably fall said the speaker. in his own parish the decreases had been large, and we here could expect the same trend. ‘If you want to keep Richmond Hill the clean, nice town it is," said Mr. Brailey, “then you have to get out and fight now before it is too late." It is the moral respon- sibility of Christians of every denomination to make a stand on this issue, he said. Manager Ralph Kerslake then gave his report. and emphasized first the need for prayer by all who are interested and secondly the need for hard work by every- one concerned. Many volunteer- ed to help in various ways dur- ing the course of the business session. and Dr. J. P. Wilson stressed the urgent need for financial assistance in the cam- paign. Speaker Urges Town Stay Dry There were more than eighty in attendance at a meeting in the Municipal Hall Sunday evening when Rev. Fred W. L. Brailey spoke in opposition to the pro- posed establishment of beer and gqfior retail outlets in Richmond 1 . Mr. Brailey, of the United Church Board of Social Service, spoke of his efforts in similar situations. He had faced the en- trance of just such beer and liquor outlets. being assured by all concerned that this was the solution to ‘the problems of his community. However, his was now the most heavily saturated area in the country for beer and beverage rooms and all that goes with them. “Don’t be fooled,” Mr. Brailey warned his listeners, “beverage rooms are inevitable if you let these outlets in. Maybe not right away but at every op- portunity the liquor interests will make sure the vote is brought up.!l Mr. Rose added. “LIt appears to be the thing we are looking for. The teachers have co-oper- ated wonderfully" Mr. Rose assured him. “They won’t be." Chairman Ross asked Mr. Rose to inform the stafi‘ of the board’s discussion and stated that it seemed to be a “progressive method." The individual schools are as follows: Beverley Acres with 611 pupils, 91 are in the slow stream, 54 accelerated. 466 in average: MacKillop, 548 pupils, 106 slow, 92 accelerated. 350 average; Wal- ter Scott, 432 pupils. 56 slow, 34 accelerated, 342 average; and McCOnaghy, 365 pupils. 85 slow, 18 accelerated, 262 average most of tie children aré that is important and can’t be vforgot- ten." " At Trustee Sanderson‘s sugges- tion the board decided to have another report next December from the Supervising Principal concerning the average for the system.
