Mr. Gordon Duffin, Mr. Hallman said, “He is a man who knows children, knows schools, is easy to work for â€" my boss”, and Mr. Duffin turned the com- pliment nicely by informing those present, “I don’t think any- one produces as many helps and guides for his teachers, as does Mr. Hallman.” Mr. Duffin congratulated the ratepayers on their school board, school staff and fine new school and before officially declaring the building open delivered a most interesting and sometime humorous address on education. He said there are three fields of thought regarding teaching: (1) The realistic approach where the child is seen as a machine into which you pour so much material ality in the child and teaches him to think for himself. And (3) the pregmatist who follows the Dew- ey or biological approach to tea- ching, which works on the prem- ise that the child is a creature who grows like a plant and who is capable of different levels of training or learning at different ages, without written tests and examinations. Mr. Duffin said that each field of thought had its advantages, and that some teaâ€" chers possess all three attributes. Trustee Frost thanked the speak- er, after which the singing trus- tee, Mr. Clark, sang "Trees" and “Here I Am at Home" and Mr. Brown brought greetings from the Woodland Home and School Association. A reception, during which stud- ents from Grade 8, served re- freshments, was followed by a tour of the lovely school. Among those attending were: Inspector W. J. McLeod and his wife; Mrs. Maynard Hallman, De- puty-reeve Wilfred Dean; Vaugh- an Township School Ar-es Board members, Chairman Herb Con- stable, Vice-Chairman Mrs. Mona Robertson, and trustees Mrs. Ruth Hogg and Mr. Sam Kaiser.
