Mr. Evans and Mr. Kin- zinger felt that the great. est benefit of the classes appeared to be the oppor- tunity for association with peers. “T h e students expressed satisfaction with the fact that they can speak freely on any topic, express their ideas without fear of embarrassment and air their problems within a sympathetic atmosphere” they reported. The class was organized initially in September, 1960 for grade 8 students and in September, 1962 a grade seven class was organized, both classes being continued in 1962. The grade 7 class, with 13 members, meets every Thursday afternoon with Mr. K. Kinzinger. A report on enrichment classes for potentially gifted grade seven and eight students was received and discussed at last week’s meeting of the Board of T.S.A. No. 1 Markham. The primary aims of these enrichment classes have been to provide experiences not necessarily obtained in the average classroom situation, to develop leadership qualities, broaden interests, to investigate research techniques, to provide oppor- tunities to interchange ideas with peers and to encourage academic excellence. The Liberal party favours a crash pro- gram to build more junior colleges and uni- versities for the growing number of young people.

A complete change in our system of financing education is the only real answer to the educational problem in Ontario today. Mr. Wintermeyer accused the present pro- vincial government of evading its responsi- bilities and patching up our educational system with an inadequate scale of school grants. Mr. MacDonald said the as- sociation is seeking $10,000 for its work in the current year. The program includes the men- tal health clinic at Newmarket, a camp for emotionally dis- turbed children and a new White Cross Centre. Mental Health Plan Fund Drive President D. R.
