David Kerr, Walter Scott Public School, won the award for the junior prepared speech, for a most interesting and informative biography on General Sir Isaac Brock and received his cup, the Home and School trophy. from Trustee VMrs. Virginia Sully. The senior impromptu class had shown a great deal of imag- ination in their essays but the judges finally agreed they would ‘take off for the moon’ and award- ed the prize in this section to Paul Murray of the Lillian M. Mc- Conaghy School for his interest- ing “moon” journey. Chairman of the Board of Trustees Lou Cle- ment presented Paul with his cup, the Langstaff trophy. 7 “All the impromptu speeches in the Junior class were very humor- ous,” Mrs. Robertson concluded, “and although we sympathized with the“ little girl who had trouble with bees. bears and fish hooks, we felt Brian MacGregor’s talk on “A Summer Vacation” was the winning speech in this class." Brian attends Beverley Acres School. Trustee Harold Sanderson told Brian to “keep up the good work” in congratulating him and presenting him with the Harold Mills trophy. Mr. Rose then asked whom the judges had selected as the winner of the best speech for the even- ing and Mrs. Robertson announcâ€" ed Patricia Fulton, the young girl who showed such a distinctivei poise of manner and the natural gift of story-telling in her pres-i entatlon on Dickens, was the judges‘ final choice.

There are terminable trends, those which are of short dura- tion, such as the suggested three- term \ year in Alberta, in which pupils would attend for ,two four- monih terms and be out of school for four months, which failed to gain popular support. Then there are interminable trends â€" wanting better education for our children, which is a continuing process. Reeve Clark was high in his praise of the road department and their efforts to assist in pumping out flooded basements. The reeve cited one case in Highland Park where an elderly couple had 30 inches of water in their base- ment. Deputy-reeve W. Dean re- ported floodingcellars in Doncas- ter. Speaking at the Ross Doan Home and School Association in Education Week, School Inspec- tor MruMaynard Hallman trac- ed various trends in education in Ontario since it first became free in 1871. “We feé‘l that education should produce fit children for societyf” Mr. Hallman said. “Society is changing therefore trends need to change.” . The trend to the use of auto- mation in education is shown in magnetic tapes which can be plugged into TV so that you can see a whole book on TV. Markham Township like many of its neighbours was a centre of flooding over the past week-end. Members of council reported Monday evening that they had been‘ kept busy answering calls and viewing flooded cellars. The road department spent a busy week-end pumping out flooded cellars. Reeve W. L. Clark re- ceived his first call before 8 am. Friday morning and from then on he was kept on the go steadily. Mr. Clark stated the majority of his calls were from people on the north side of No. 7 highway who were experiencing flooding. No. 7 Highwayis a provincial highway and therefore the responsibility of Queens Park and not the town- ship. Following flood warnings from the provincial government Reeve Clark conferred with Markham’s civil defence co-ordinator. Mr. L. Grant, the road department and the engineer. The concensus of opinion was that there was no great danger of extensive flood- ing in the township provided of course the township doesn’t re- ceive heavy rains. other trends Mr. Hallman not- ed were the trend toward more education along scientific linesâ€" the trend towards kindergaljtens Reeve Clark stressed that the township had no responsibility for flooding on private property. “Our road department can’t make a regular practice of pumping out 250 studer did not pa paid in kin instance, a the homes Twenty y: annual 53} house.

Not Responsible For Private PrtLperty There have b books, Mr. several years 1ter wane star. came and went classes which is expected to con- tinue for a time. Books have improved, Mr. Hall- man said. ‘Today the emphasis is to control the vocabulary ra- ther than having words which would be found in University texts included in the public school readers. It has been found that the average child has to see a word sixty times to learn it. The slow learner needs much longer exposure to it. In using Markham Twp. Residents Experience Heading past The slow learner needs much longer exposure to it. In using several readers the children are given extensive reading rather than intensive reading The idea is to develop a questioning atti- tude in the children by getting them to read a Canadian text-and then an American one. Among the texts a star on the book means that that text will not be authorized next year. There is a trend toward more and more Canadian text books. Many in the audience were ready to give up without a struggle when Mr. Hallman quot- ed an arithmetic problem and the way it was solved by rule “in the olden days.” Today the trend is away from learning by rule to -the In {e trend th< are taking. 1 1840 a tw‘ students w not pay the l in kind â€" .n Rusia 'is spent on edu~ In Canada less than 3% 7 education is controlled by opinion, Mr. Hallman stat- a have been trends in text- Mr. H..11man noted.

In light of the Listowel trag- edy the Ontario Fire Marshall has advised township officials to make a close inspection of all arena roofs and public halls in Main-imam to make sure they are sa e. learning by the thought "behind the problem. I ' Children Like Schdol Today’s children like to go to school. Children are given more successes in school today, Mr. Hallman said. There is better or- ganization in the classroom. Pup- ils are divided into groups of nearly equal ability, and we have the budgies and canaries . . . Today there is also more spec- ialized education. Education is also provided for the orthopedic- ally handicapped, such as a two- way telephone system between a child at home and the classroom, which is proving successful. Jaycees Enjoy Bosses' Night private cellars,” stated Mr. Clark. The only real solution lies in the installation of storm sewers and drains. “As long as I have the honour of being reeve of this township I ‘shall never agree to open drainage for any new sub- divisions,” emphasized Reeve Clark. “Open drainage simply can’t do the job," added the spea- ker. The T.T.C. has lnzormed coun- cil its share of the profits from the operation of the North Yonge Bus Line for the last quarter of 1958 amounted to $4,064.89. In 1958 Markham received a total of $12,782.52 in bus line profits. Thornhill Signs Council took no action on an application by the E. L. Ruddy Co. for permission to erect tWO large billboards on property own- ed by Mr. W. Simpson at the cor- ner of John Street and Yonge Street in Thornhill. Thornhill Trustees had previously opposed a similar application for bill- boards on Yonge Street. The trustees maintain the village’s land-use by-law does not permit such commercial activities as the erection of billboards on Yonge Street. Reeve Clark deferred discussion on therapplication un; In closing.
