All methods. he said. yield to the same termsâ€"control and repetition. The area of controversy lies in the seq« uence of introducing the various skills involved and very little research has been done on this aspect of the problem. ‘ In Ontario schools. using what Mr. Noble called "the all inclusive" method. the child is presented with sim- plified ideas initially. Simple words tell a story, heavily supported with pictures and with few words. the child begins' to read mtich as he learns to skate. play and piano. etc. The range and complexity of the words is gradually increased. the sen- tence structure Is slowly made more comle and then phonetic analysis is employed. In discussing the charge that the content of present, day readers is dull and bor- ing to the children. .\lr. Noble stated that he has found the children find the stories “corking good stuff". Harking back to the "good old days” he then read an excerpt from a "story" in one of the very old Royal Read- ers. used in Ontario in 18811. This went on. something like this "I see an ass. Is it an ass'.‘ Is it an oxf’ No it is an ass. It is not an ox" etc. ctc. and elicited a burst of laughâ€" ter from the audience.

The controversy as m which Is the best method has not yet been resolved but Mr. Noble commented on two recent interesting studies. One in the Phillipinâ€" es, rising a simple dialect with only seven symbols. four consonants and three vowels. investigated the re- lative merits of the phone- tic and sight methods. After four years. all factors were weighed and it was considâ€" ered a draw A similar study was carried out in Sweden with a very stable dialect 'l‘he Shamrocks kept plugging and no basic difference was found in terms of reading as an "idea getting" process. Mr N n h l e commented however. that if by reading you mean being able to proâ€" nounce words. the phonetic approach appears very iinâ€" pressive but that very often the child attaches no mean- ing to the word he is pro- nouncing, which in effect. defeats the whole purpose of the exercise. Mr. Noble reported briefâ€" ly on the results of the work of a research team from the L'niversity of Syracuse who examined closely a group of 150 poor readers from North York schools. 85"} of these were boys he noted and 75'? of them had no difficulty in analyzing words. but had trouble creating meaning out of the words.

Contributing to the delinquen- cy of a minor led to one pro- .secution. “Don't let the juveniles mislead you" warned the. chief. “They’ll run wild if you let them." He claimed that Richmond Hill could claim full responsibility for juvenile offenders 27 of them coming from the Hill with 21 in Ward T and two each in the other three wards. Only one juvenile offender ‘came from outside the munici- pality. “This is not good." the .‘chief said “Although these num- ‘hers are really down from last year." made under the Liquor Control 1Act. Two hundred and nine .parking prosecutions were not- ed and 790 parking tags were paid to the office. Highway Traffic Act Speeding accounted for 277 1of the 594 prosecutions under this act with stop street viola- tions accounting for 156. Ob- struction of marker accounted for 29 and disregarding auto- matic traffic signals 28. Ninety-six alarms were ans- ‘wered to protected properties. Fortunately all were false but the chief reminded council that each alarm has a potential of great danger to the responding officers. 1540 summonses were served, 333 prisoners handled for courts. and 227 warrants exe- ‘cuted. 101 places of business were found insecure. 30 tran- sients lodged overnight, 85 autos seized or impounded and 80 prisoners lodged in cells. 73 escorts were provided. found property involved 154 calls and 13 prisoners were lodged in cells. 884 dog tags brought in $2.956. taxi licences $148. petty ‘trades ttobacco etc) $1.663. bicycle licences $238. parking tags $1.580. witness fees in magistrate's court $116. and transient trader licences $2.000.

The police chief re- ported two payments had been made since the first of the year which would reduce this amount by over $100. Fines levied in the magist- rate's court on prosecutions of the town police amounted to $9866.50. Ward 2 had the largest number of occurrenCES dur- ing the year 70 In all, the chief reporting that the largest number was between Newkirk and Yonge. There were 55 in Ward 1. 36 in Ward 3, and 52 in Ward 4. Eighteen adult offenders un- der the criminal code came from Ward 1. two each from Ward 2 and 3. and 15 from Ward 4. 19 offenders came from Metro and 27 from other munl- cipalities. Liquor Infractions were com- mitted by two residents in each of Ward 1.2 and 4 and by one Twenty offenders under this section came from Metro and 16 from other muni- cipalities. Accident Statistics Although the total number of accidents in 1963 i161i was up considerably from the 143 re- corded in 1962 it was down from the peak year of 1961 when 189 occurred. 59 of these involved personal injury. Accidents involving pedest- rians and cyclists were halved. only 10 being reported in 1963 Greatest improvement occurred in the 5-16 year group where the number was reduced from 12 in 1962 to six in 1963. The chief credited an active safety education campaign in the schools for this decrease September with its "lazy hazy days" accounted for the larg- est number of accidents . 2 , Friday was the most dangerous.
