He felt the junior high school type of program, in Grades 7 to 9 or 7 to 10 would no Ion-g- er be practical. \ Mr. Brannigan, who is chair- man of a teachers‘ federation committee studying the differ- ent types of schools, noted the institution of the Robarts Plan in secondary education requires that three separate programs must be offered in Grade 9. It was also possible to teach science better in a senior pu- blic school where a laboratory could be made available rather than teaching the science mere- ly from a book. In the tradit- ional type of school, there would not be enough use made of such a laboratory, he said. This specialization, he stated, could be taken advantage of much more fully in a senior public school or junior high school where such a specialist could teach three or four class- es rather than one. ‘ Also included in the list of competitors are six entries from Thornhill, an entry from Rich- vale and the Richmond Hill and District Choral Society.
