Cuéd ‘coulé tomb Chairman Roy Bick announcedrat the regular meet- ing of School Area No. 1 Markham-Vaughan, last week, the board meetings will be held at the Langstafl' Public School, starting with the February session. The chairman explained that since the administration offices are in the Langstafi‘ school, it will be much more convenient to have the board assemble there. Supervising Principal E. J. Sand reported to the full board there are 2,338 pupils now enrolled in area schools and that attendance for January was 90.73 per cent, owing to considerable illness among pupils and teachers. Mr. Sand informed the trustees that a history course the area principals have been working on, as a 6â€"man committee, for Grade 7, has been approved by Inspecâ€" tor Maynard Hallman and is now being used in the area schools. Area Board Approves Kindergarten Teachers Holding Study Group On display at the board meeting was a new type of report form the area schools will use for a test period ter- minating in June of this year. Entirely different from the familiar standard report card, an enclosure explaining its functions will be sent to each parent. ' “When the German Mills bus failed to run on Monday of last week, the teachers at tho Thorn- lea School went around in their cars andtpicked up their pupils and.brought them to school," Principal Sand told the board. This is the secondtime the teach- ers have rallied in this manner and the board went on record commending them for their fine co-operation.: Inspectors Report Maynard Hellman, Inspector for the Area Schools, attended the board meeting and informed the trustees Education.Week will he held from March 1-7, When “Something worthwhile will be held in each school, and teachers will hold “Open House” for par- ents to drop in during classes and observe how lessons are taught their children."

Haggart said he was completely in favor ‘of he project. He was satisfied it {twould not overburden our sewer and water services and it would Iimprove our assessment ratio. Councillor R. P. Ross who is council’s representative on the Planning Board said he had giv- en the proposal careful study and was very much in favor of it. Quoting the estimated assess- ment figures which showed a fa- vorable ratio, he said, "I feel It will be a benefit to Richmond Hi 1.” Richmond Hill Development Deputy-reeve Tinker thought plans to provide access roads to our presently. available industrial land should take precedence over annexation of new land. ‘Councillor Haggart â€"â€" This is a step toward self-sufficiency, a very much needed addition to our. community development“ Councillor Paterson referred to the folly of previous councils in not insisting on a proper ratio of commercial and industrial as- sessment as compared with r‘esi- dential development. Councillor Haggart argued that it was much better to have the commercial development within the town than in fringe areas. Deputy-reeve Tinker question- ed the benefit of growth and ex- pansion to established citizens of the municipality. He said all they gained from the growth was strained municipal services and higher taxes. Councillor Haggart â€" Takes would have increased anyway. Councillor Bradstock â€"â€" If we were satisfied with outside plum- bing and dirt roads we might have been able to keep down taxes. Mayor Tomlin â€" With all our growth the percentage of our funded debt as compared with our overall assessment is lower today than when we were a vill- age. ' Deputy-reeve Tinker intimated he would keep an open mind on the issue and it was possible when he was fully satisfied as to the financial implications and had a more definite picture he might favor it. Reeve. Perkins and Deputy- reeve Tinker who opposed the proposal made it clear they had a very high regard for Mr. Grit- fin and that the préposal fdr sub- division and annexation was very attractive.

Reeve Perkins said he fav- ored industrial development more than commercial. We need indus- tries to give employment to our people. he said. “We have vacant land within our existing borders,” said the Reeve supporting his ar- gument that ’this should be a year of consolidation and pointed out that our per capita debt is now near the danger limit and the highest in the history of Richmond Hill. Councillor Bradstock said he believed the proposal fitted well into our natural development. It will help balance our assessment. It’s a logical development for Richmond Hill. Reeve Perkins said the Plan- ning Board report recommend- ed no more piece-meal develop- ment. He said that was inferring this was just anothQr plece-meal development. He questioned if the Planning Board whole-heart- edly recommended the plan. “They blow hot and cold at the same time,” he said. Councillor Haggart â€" This project will improve our assess- ment ratio and if we don’t sup- port it we're letting the people down. {This is the first opportunity in two years to do something really worthwhile for Richmond Hill,” said Councillor Haggart who re- quested a recorded vote.‘ ‘,,, The motion to adopt the Plan- ning Board recommendation was moved by Councillor Ross and seconded by Councillor Haggart. To the suggestion of develop- ing industrial land within the town, Councillor Bradstock sug- gested the prevailing asking price reported to be as high as $8,500 per acre was holding back development. Annexation proceedings will have to have the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board. and the speed with which this can be ac- complished will depend on the attitude of Vaughan Township. Mr. Griffin is anxious to proceed as quickly as possible with at least some of the commercial de- velqpment. . .. .n ‘The proposed annexation will take in some 37 acres. and plans are for seven acres commercial development, two to three acres in apartment houses and the bal- ance in residential. colour. of - 2523 'afure 5 decref. auoul' am Jam/z no: s_e_e wihere It was of any value Said Inspector Hallman, in commending the teachers for their initiative. "Obviously the teachers have done this for them- selves for their own professional improvement. In the matter ‘of recognition from the Department. it is quite a different thing. A summer course takes 125 hours and this in-service course iseone facet 0! such a course." Chairman Bick asked. "Could these hours be included with a one-year summer course?" Inspector Hellman replied that Mrs. R. Connell, who conducts the group lectures. is .a qual- ified summer coprse teacher, and one of the best. ‘l can assure you that the help the teachers are recei ing at this ImService class is ve y good and is already show- ing results â€" and being put into practice." Supervising Principal Sand said “We recognize this ‘and the Area Board is paying the costs to teacr ers attending." As for recognition in order to step up their salaries. Inspector Hallman said that would be up to the Department of Education. Inspector: “I would think It would be just as much use. since it is the same teacher who is giving the lectures." Mr. Sand: “It started out as an In-Service course of six weeks but the teachers have become so en- thusiastic the course is being ex-‘ tended. (The class starts again in April). In order to make it as profitable as a summer course Chafi'man Bick, “Is it as prof- ltable as a summer course?" it would have to he held on Satur- days. he concluded. Referring to an Inspector Hodge. Mr. Sand said this lnspector thought the classes might be run as a winter course so that teachers could have more free time during their sum- mer holidays. Trustee Jackson Taylor said, "What they learn during the win- ter they can put into'practice during the school week. There should be some recognition. This board should approach the teach- ers and find out if there is any- thing we can do to help them." _ iThre- matter will recive further attention from the area- board of trustees. . ‘ And Vice-chairman Alan Park- er said, “The trouble seems to be this course has not been set up by the Department of Educa- tion. and we shouid do something to help them."
