The subject for each workshop is chosen well in advance of the convention and people who are experts on that subject are se- lected for the panel. During the workshop sessions the chairman and panel lead the discussion ac- cording to a prepared outline and the audience of delegates is free to express opinions, to criticize or comment, to raise or answer questions. Depending upon the current interest in the workshop suoiect there may be as many as sixty or more delegates at one workshop. Thus the panel and the audience constitute a wealth of knowledge and experience upon which one can draw for advice and answers to one's own locgl problem. Here one can learn how this same prob lem has been solved in other ar- eas throughout Ontario. mm as important one also learns what is being done and what is plan- ned for the future in school sys- tems throughout the province A busy schedule is planned for the delegates wno comprise trus- teees, professional educational- ists and school administrators. The schedule cbnsists of full (on- vention panels. films. speeches, demonstrations by school cl‘ild- ren of the host city, question and answer periods. and workshops. The. greatest portion of the time is spent in the workshops and it is generally agreed that in these lies the greatest value of the con- vention.

For prac- tical application the question of occupational guidance roused the greatest general interest. One of the panel who is a school inspec- tor suggested that this guidance begin at the grade 7 and 8 level. This was well received and it was agreed that the principal and a trained teacher can act as guid- ance advisors. The group learned Trustee Mrs. Margaret South- well â€"- Relation of Health (Phys- ical and Emotional) of the Child to School Progress. rent Rural and Suburban Prob- lems. The discussion here was of great interest to Richmond Hill. The most important point made was that the planning board, the council and the school board must work together whenever a new subdivision is planned. While a subdivision is still in the plan- ning stages. a school site and ap- proval for a new school snculd be obtained. so that construrtion of the school begins at least as Unnecessary expense for the taxpayer in the form of transpor- tation and rental of temponary accommodation was cited as the result of lack of co-operation be- tween all municipal bodies. This has been all too clearly the ex» perience in Richmond Hill and the situation must be corrected. The requirements of the School board must be considered at the earliest stage of planning for res- idential development in order to avoid costly delay. soon as houses.

In relent years in Richmond Hill, our plan- ning committee has conducted surveys on the number of mzpils per house in different parts of our town.

The fundamental point stressed was that all workers need a basic education in order to be able to think for themseives. The more expensive equipment now being used in industry makes education a necessity, and edu- cation in mathematics of prime importance. Industry will accept and train young people who have a sound basic education and most large concerns will send promis- ing youngsters to a trade school at the company's expense. In- dustry will help the youngster who shows a willingness to learn and who demonstrates the ability to think for himself.

While some of the audience from rural areas found this panel concentrated too much on mban and suburban problems it was a happy choice as far as a board such as Richmond Hill was con-- cerned. [Like many worksl-ops, much of the value lay in confirm- ation of the good sense of our present practices with angles on details discovered by other boards, There was criticism of the many young people who aim for a white collar job simply because they' do not want to get their hands dirty. Crltlclsm. too, for those who expect good pay for little effort, was also voiced.

It was accepted that 16 to 20 rooms makes the ideal school from the academic and adminis- trative points of view. This srhool should be built on an eightlacr site. 4 Sites should be earmarked long before the homes in a neighbor- hood are built and the people should be well informed of plans for the future. Unless land is of exorbitant cost or the building of excessive size, the main criterion in chaos- ing between one storey and two storey schools is in the desig.) of the best layout of the bui‘ding and site. During the convention the Richmond Hill Trustees arrang- ed to visit some of Hamilton’s Public Schools. Talking with the principals, teachers and pupils as well as the business adminis- trator and superintendent ‘who conducted the tour‘,’ seeinz‘the equipment. the facilities. the at- titudes and the work of the child- ren at first hand was time ex- tremely well spent. Hamilton 'operates a senior public school system and the schools visited were composite'schools. That is. kindergarten and one or two classes of another grade are ac- commodated in the senior school for the sake of expediency. One feature of the senior program which impressed our trustees most favorably was the demon- stration of choral speaking which is a part of the English course. General purpose rooms are al- most universal practicé and aré a much more sensible way of spen- ding money for such space than the basements of former years. Trustee Joseph Rabinowitch attended the workshop which dealt with the new grant system for Ontario Public Schools. This new system was designed to aid areas where there has been rapid growth in school population, but it is a highly complex subject and Trustee ‘Rabinowitch will. make a full report to the board. Trustee Mrs. Virginia Sully -â€" Types and organization of schools. The discussions in this workshop centred entirely,around the inter- mediate school. Various types and combinations were describ- ed and there was intensive exam- ination of the reasons for and the results of intermediate systems. The obvious conclusion to be drawn from the sessions of this large group was that some type of intermediate system will soon be standard practice throughout Ontario. This is important to a growing town such as ours znd a full report will be presented to‘ the board. The impressive Service of Re- membrance in Richmond Hill last Sunday afternoon was largely at- tended. The Pipers led the parade of Veterans, Scouts and Girl Guides which was in charge of Sgt. Major George Wilson. Rev. W. A-. Patterson and Rev. J. Newton-Smith led in the devo- tional ceremony and the speaker of the day was Capt. Rev. Hugh MacDonald,.Chaplain of the Roy- al Canadian Engineers. In addition to several wreaths placed on the memorial by indi- viduals there were floral tributes from the Province,’ the Town of Richmond Hill, the Women's In- stitute, the Canadian Legion, the WA. of York County Veterans, the High School, the Sappers Club and other organizations. The Town wreath was laid by Council: 101' W. J. Haggart. In the parade following the ser- vice the salute was taken by Squadron Leader J. W. Perry. D.S.O., D.F.C.. the Reeve ofi Vaughan Township. A feature of the service was the fine performance by the Richmond Hill High School Band. The band, making its first public appearance, was highly praised by Chairman Butler. and was the subject of many favor- able comments. In congratulat- ing the boys and girls Mr. But- ler said since so many graduates of the school served with the armed forces it was fitting the first public appearance of the band should be at the Remem- brance Day service. The band uniforms were green tunics and caps Considerable research is being done on the shape and size of classrooms. the most Important part of the school.
