There are about 70 different subjects in the academic training alone.†According to Mr. Ewen, the ride involves months of training. There is no set pattern and the riding master devises his own patterns. Certain' move- ments. however, are kept through the years. While Ben Ewen was instructor. the ride was performed mostly in the cities of Eastern Canada and Eastern United States. This summer, the RCMP performed their mus- ical ride at the ONE. From time to time, the Exhi- bition throngs have been delighted with this fine performance. Ben Ewen was instructor of the RCMP musical ride for 13 years at Ottawa. In his capacity as a corporal for the RCMP, Mr. Ewen was stationed for a while in Toronto, Winni- peg and Ottawa. For a period of three years, Ben Ewen was in charge of Point Pellee National Park for the federal government. The original musical ride came from the British Lancer regiment in England and was adopted by the North West Mounted Police in the western provinces in the late 1800’s.

Mrs. I. Dean, remedial teacher with the Richâ€" mond Hill Public School Board and Denis Middleton, principal ‘of Walter Scott Public School. LOCAL CHAPTER York Chapter 543 is sponsor- ing this year a series of pro- grams dealing with exceptional children. In October a panel discussion was held concerning the slow learning child; topic in November was “The Superior Learner in Your Classroom." Department of Education con- sultants appointed to these diag- nostic and remedial centres will be charged with complete edu- cational diagnosis for each re- ferral. relating of the results of the diagnosis to the pupil‘s school system and working with the teachers to implement the instruction program; and to fol- low up the educational progress of the pupil. integrating the se- quence with the medical diagâ€" nosis and treatment recommend- ations. Five persons have now been appointed to such diagnostic and treatment centres in Wind- sor. London, Hamilton, Toronto and Kingston. The Ontario Department of EducatiOn is committed to a threefold program of assistance "Core of the new program." explained Dr. Bowers, “is the establishment by the Depart- ment of Health of regional diagnostic, assessment and treat- ment centres which will pro- vide out-patient. day care and in-patient services for mentally ill and mentally retarded child- ren And for those suffering from perceptual defects and other neurological disorders." The centres will be staffed by a team including a psychiatrist. pediatrician. social scientist, pyschologist and consultant in education. Liaison personnel will represent the schools, wel- fare and public health agencies and the courts. and will assist in carrying out the prescribed treatment programs.

In the Soviet Union. she not.â€" ed. there is a tendency to regard behavioural disturbances as at- tributable to damage to the cen- tral nervous system. In any event as the child spends so much time in school, recreation- al organizations and the like. the influence of the family is considerably less than in North America. “In general.†she said, “the family does not have an opportunity to influence ad- versely the development of a [child. a situation which some- times occurs in western socie- ties.†Responsibility for identifying children suffering from mental and emotional disorders “must be shared by all who come into contact with children", states the government's White Paper on the subject. tabled in the legislature at the beginning of last year. “To this end." Dr. Bowers ad- vised. "all departments will col- laborate in the development of a continuous educational pro- gram to help parents and others who care for children. to under- stand the needs of the children and to recognize symptoms of mental and emotional disord- ers." The Department of Education has committed itself to instruct- ing teachers-in-training on the characteristics and needs of emotionally disturbed children. said Dr. Bowers and pointed to the recent appointment of Don- ald MacTavish as assistant dir- ector of special education in the Teacher Education Branch. 'Mr. McTavish was at one time a principal of Langstaff Public School and set up the first special education class in the Thornhill area.) REGIONAL CENTRES Services.

In February, Dr. McCallum and Dr. Bowers will report more fully on special education serv- ices in Europe as they observed them last summer; in March the topic will be speech habits of pupils and in May. there will be a report of the council‘s inter- national convention in New York. She cautioned however. that miracles should not be expect- ed and that “We must brace ourselves to meet frustration and discouragement." Those most likely to contribute richly to the well-being of handicap- ped children however, will struggle on “even when numbed by disappointment and seeming- ly faced by ultimate failure." she stressed and concluded with Ithe reading of the poem of Arthur Hugh Clough, “Say 'Not the struggle nought availeth." the first line of which she had chosen as the title for her lec- ture. In France. she noted. a team of specialists studies a child be- fore diagnosis is made and it is generally held unwise to separ- ate a child from his family un- less absolutely necessary and. any marked alteration in the child‘s general educational pro- gram is also questioned. “It is apparent that. we now need creative, energetic. and en- thusiastic teachers to help those children who. in the course of their emotional development de- viate considerably from the one we regard as normal," stated Dr. Bowers. Dr. Bowers then related ob- servations she had made touring Europe this year. observing ser- vices and programs for disturb- ed children in England. France. Switzerl a n d, Czechoslovakia. Hungary. the Soviet Union and Finland. Observing that in some coun- tries the increase in the ratio of urban to rural population has been accompanied by an in- crease in mental illness. Dr. Bowers expressed the expecta- tion that there would be a rise in the proportion of children in need of psychiatric assistance. 70.000 SERIOUSLY DISTURBED Earlier in her talk. Dr. Bow- ers estimated that some 10 per- cent of school children are dis- turbed, one half of them so seri- ously as to need immediate as- sistance. Thus of Ontario‘s 1.410.000 elementary and sec- ondary school pupils, about 140.- 000 are disturbed and 70,000 present serious problems.
