Gray, council president. ‘ "The Subject 0f Nuclear Arms For Canada is now upper- most in our minds,” she said, “and don’t be told that this and school. Of course it is our business as parents, because it isn’t much good giving a child an education when in the not too distant future he will be nothing at all. I am willing to be convinced one way or the other by people who know some- thing about this problem." , Mrs. G. Keeley of Newmarket .spoke about effective program- ming. the citizenship committee, which is of special value to New Canadians, and the duties of grade mothers, who should be the liaison between teachers. and parents. Mrs. W. Acton of‘ Richmond Hill itemized the usefulness of the publications committee and a hospitality committee. and Mrs. N. R. Clif- ton of Richmond Hill spoke about the Courtice Memorial Library and how an association or any members of a h & 5 may obtain books free of charge from the library for the per- iod of one month, including is none of our business as home; Mr. Queen whose topic was “Music Through The Grades" had the audience sing “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” He then taught the song in three parts for the further enjoyment of his audience. Having warmed his listeners up to his topic he out- lined the aims of a good music programme in elementary schools. He pointed out that this subject, used for fun and enjoyment brings relaxation into the classroom. In these days of the “shorter work week" music is a worthwhile activity for ‘leisure time. Talking about much of the music that is heard around us, Mr. Queen suggested that we are being kind to call‘ it music. Schools must teach dis-‘ crimination. The teacher may ,use music for enriching the regular programme. Too, she may‘correlate this subject with a unit in social studies or liter- ‘ature. Finally, Mr. Queen stated jthat an important reason for having music as a part of the curriculum is its aesthetic value. ‘All the aims of music determine how it is taught. , Mr. Queen used a few black- board exercises to develop the progreSS of music through the grades. He persuaded the au- ifree return postage. An impres-' lsive list of books is available dience to participate in clapping ythrougb this library, especially'and chanting blank rhythms.

Two films on “Planning Your Talk” and "Using Your Voice" rounded 08 this interesting ev- ening program. The films were introduced by Mrs. Stapley and shown by Mr. Beaudry, principal of the Summitview School. Re- freshments served by the Stoutfâ€" ville Home & School concluded a very worth while program of activities. 1 OPPOSE NUCLEAR ARMS Pleasantville Home & School A home and school group voted decisively tonight against acceptance of nuclear arms by Canada.

YORK-SIMCOE COUNCIL Equality or Educational 0p- portunity In Ontario --- this is, the study project the Ontario Federation of Home & School Associations have set themselves for this year, and ways and means of studying this problem' at the local home & school lev- el were emphasized at the York- Simcoe Home & School Council‘ meeting recently at the Sum- mitview Public School in Stou‘ff- ville. Mrs. Mildred Toogood of the Ontario Federation led the conference into discussing the working papers which were compiled by the federation and sent to each association. These embrace surveys on local facil-‘ ities, including accommodation, equipment, playground, staff,I student drop-outs, etc.; methods of obtaining equality of educa- tional opportunity, whether in central and consolidated schools, ‘by the use of itinerant teachers. wider use of TV and radio in‘ teaching, etc.; and the financing of education under local condi- ltions. There is enough work in ,these working papers for each association to keep them in- terested and at the same time usefully busy for a whole year, and suggestions on how to a- chieve participation by all mem- bers of an association in this theme were discussed. The aim in conducting this survey all over Ontario is to obtain the best for each child according to ,his physical, mental, social and spiritual needs; the chance for the type of education that will benefit each child to the utmost based upon his ability, his in- terests and his needs. Mr. Ashworth opened his re- marks with congratulations to the fine group of young people who would leave with mixed feelings as they moved to the ‘next rung on the education lad- 'der. He warned them that in‘ ‘high school they would be more on their own, having to make decisions and assume more re- sponsibility as part of their training for the future. i An important four letter word “work.” is worthy of considera- tion. It is not something to be avoided as is often suggested. but is to be used as a tool in building their lives. In closing Mr. Ashworth defined a ladder as a device used to transport a person from one level to a higher level. These students each have a ladder standing on firm ground and the number of steps taken depend on the in- dividual. The higher one goes the farther one can see and the more can be accomplished in the future. Mr. R055 then presented each student with a diploma, and President, Boylan of the home and school presented the school pins and a special award to Barry Aldred as outstanding student of the year in all round proficiency. The permanent School Plaque was then presented by Mr. Boy- lan to Mrs. Castle. and accepted by Mr. Rose on behalf of the. school. The Valedictory address was ably given by Barry Aldred who recalled with gratitude the un- derstanding and leadership which guided them through these past years. On entering grade nine he admitted that some of them felt again a little like the fumbling youngsters on the first day of school. Barry expressed an appreciation for the support and confidence of teachers and parents with spe- cial thanks to Mr. Rose. The program closed with the singing of the Queen followed by refreshments served by the graduates to their guest: Mrs. Mary Stapley, president of Stouffville Ass’ociation, wel- comed members to the confer- ences and introduced Mrs. W. C. Noble of Gormley, who chair- ed the meeting in the absence due to illness of Mr. G. Gray, coungil pgesident. said that every generation com- plains about youth b_eing soft. but young people today are better mentally and physically than we were at their age. When we were small our physical education programme consisted of calisthenics and deep breathing exercises, with no concern for individual de- velopment. Today the entire programme is based on results of observa- tions of children's activities. A child has the opportunity to develop muscle control without fatigue.

He recalled a few of the highlights of the past year, their trip to Midland. parties, assemblies and general school pvork. As their teacher he re- ‘minded them that learning is a worthy objective and their successful completion of grade eight is only the beginning. Tea- ‘chers. families and especially parents are proud of them, and ‘he asked them to always re- member that parents co e in single sets and deserve the high- lest consideration and respect.
