That Saturday evening in the decorated hall a band played music in which banjos were harmoniously dominant. The banjos suggested the theme of “Never on a Sunday" would be forthcoming at any moment â€" it would have been fitting. but they didn’t play it. Many flow- ers surrounding the stage and hanging from the walls gave the impression of being imitation flora, but towards midnight they began to wither. When the music ended finally and the first minute of a Sun- day morning arrived. everyone sat down to a plate of food and cups of coffee. The Chinese food served by the ladies' auxiliary in cafeteria goodly portions left some business lminded visitors wondering how this could be managed with an admission fee of $1.25 per person. One thing that stood out about our northern comrades was their friendliness, and the applause was loud when our president asked if there was anyone present interested in coming to Richmond Hill.

The members of our branch who accepted the invitation were given a welcome they will long remember.

Some drivers will say it took a lot of converging. For‘ some the drive south from a paved road and onto the third line. a narrow, rough and stony trail was an endurance test. To be in the first of six cars pro- ceeding in procession along such a road was certainly a privilege, the cars behind bear- ing the full brunt of the dust- storm.

In fact, according to John Wheeler. grade eight teacher at the school, who conducted the experiment, the children wouldn’t even mind paying for the privilege.

Their progress was compared with students do- ing the same work at home. its success was evident in other ways.

So far as actual figures Were concerned. the experi- ment showed that the study group gained an average of 2.63 percentile points per subject per pupil, while the other group showed an aver- age of 4.66 percentile points, leading to the conclusion that studying could raise a pupil’s marks 7.29 percent- ile points hours to do their lessons at home, they completed their work with ease in the super- vised study periods. Mr. Wheeler said that all but one of the pupils thought the classes had been bene- ficial, and all the parents were convinced of their ef- flcacy. Students who couldn’t be “matched” for the classes, were disappointed, Mr. Wheeler said, and those who attended "were eager for exams after six weeks." Perhaps the most convinc- ing tribute, Mr. Wheeler said. came when the pupils asked him to continue the classes at the end of the six weeks. When he informed them that he thought they had gone on long enough, the students came up with a proposition: they would pay him 25 cents each a week if he would continue to have them.

The lone girl,.who hadn't felt she had benefitted from the classes, had relied solely on the study group for any work she did, Mr. Wheeler said. Mr Wheeler said the de~ termining factors for the pupils’ progress lay in the fact that there were no disâ€" tractions. such as TV and radio at the school, the at- mosphere was conducive to study, proper equipment was available and the students had their own desks at which to work. He said there had been some falling off in some of the students‘ work since the conclusion of the experi- ment. which would seem to indicate “there were some who need the constant know- ledge there is someone (sup- ervisor) there."
