March the eighteenth, may have been a holiday for the high school students of this area, but for two hundred and five teachers it was a very busy day. One section of the annual confer- ence of District 12 of the On- tario Secondary School Teachers' Federation was held this year in Buffalo, N.Y., to give Ontario teachers the opportunity of ob- serving the courses and methods used in the secondary schools of Morasutti. Chairman of the Pro- fessional Development Commit- tee of the Di trict, and the tea- chers. representing the staffs of the high schools of Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Woodbridge, Brampton, Oakville, and other towns in the district, provided their own expenses. The day began officially at 8:30 a.m., when buses arrived at the Lafayette Hotel to take groups of teachers to the fourâ€" teen secondary schools of Buf- alo. After initial discussion with the various principals the visit- ors toured the schools, and then dispersed to sit in on classes in progress, and to meet and talk with the Buffalo teachers. This was to many the most interesting part of the day, for the Ameri- can teachers were most hospit- able, and ready to answer ques- tions, discuss problems, and com- pare notes on courses and stan- dards. The afternoon was spent at Seneca Vocational High School, where the Superinten- dent of Schools, Dr. Manch and two of his associates, addressed the group. From this crowded day. the Canadian teachers carried home a mixture of small impressions as well as a few important con- cepts of American education From the conversations after the conference came references to varied experiences as hearing speeches from Shakespeare read with the flat nasal “a” of New York State, and seeing a fully operational jet engine in one of the industrial classes. One out standing feature of the Buffalo educational system is the amount of responsibility placed on the students in the smooth running of the school. There are commit- tees for better dress, committee for student disci line, monitors for the cafeteria, monitors for the halls, monitors for the li- brary. Some schools have trans- portation committees, made up of students. who work with the public transportation company. Also of interest was the special program in force for the gifted student. It begins at the fifth grade level.; with a‘ special New gress class, and continues as an “honours ‘ program” in senior high school, where students pur- sue their‘best subjects in special enriched classes. The students in the academic schools are segre- gated throughout on the basis of ability.

An experimental program now operating in the elementary schools teaches French, Spanish. The Canadian teachers saw much to admire, and of course, some things to regret, in the American educational system. many of the features possible in a large city system are not pos- sible in smaller district schools. However. most found it a highly rewarding experience, and hope that it may be repeated in the future.
