No. l (in the neighbour- hood of $400.00 per pupil this year) was due to the pyramid- lng costs of debentures. Every classroom in the area has been built within the last 10 or 12 years. In older areas. class- rooms have been paid for years ago and costs there are much lower.

Mrs. Aimone reported that kindergarten enrolment for next year was now complete and that not only had notices been sent home with the chil- dren concerning kindergarten registration, but that assess- ment rolls had been studied in an attempt to see that every family with a kindergarten age child was notified of the regis- tration date. Trustee Aimone also repor- ted on an evaluation of T.V. and radio programs for school use made by the principals of the area. The principals found that while the T.V. programmes were of good quality and had excellent. teaching methods, they often did not fit in with the way the course of study is arranged. Some difficulty was also found because of the to tary system of teachers - it was difficult to arrange for the children to view a history pro- gram, say, at a time when a music teacher was at the school for a music leSson. The C.B.C. programmes at 2.30 interfered with the recess period. It was felt that these programmes would be more effective if they were available on film so they could be fitted in as re- quired. noted that a high water table existed in the Henderson Av- enue school grounds.

Community Happenings In Thornhill These aims are pursued by a combination of classroom, in- termurai and interscholastic activities. Most children take part in all phases of the pro- gram. Mr. Moorby visits each classroom once every two weeks and has produced sev- eral booklets for the use of the teachers. These are on talk dancing, tumbling. vaulting. volley-bail and soccer. Included in the report of the‘ health, safety and recreationi committee report given by‘ Trustee Stone were highlights of a. report. on physical educa- tion submitted to the board by the physical education super- visor, Mr. A.
