Markham Trustee Dr. William LaCroix said he would like to know more about these. He would also like to know what teachers never take courses of any kind. In addition, said Mr. Zupancic, many teachers and principals have been taking university courses which did not appear on the list. Many of the workshops, courses and seminars were of brief duration. and a good many teachers had taken advantage of several. A number of the up-grading sessions had been arranged by the local board. or were part of a shared-service program in co-operation with the York County Board of Ed- ucation. Presenting the board with a five-page list of teachers who had attended workshops, con- ferences and seminars in 1969 and 1970, he told trustees that in 1969 about half of the teach- ing staff had attended some kind of ill-service. and that many more had attended in 1970. About 25 percent of new teachers in the system, he told trustees, have a degree, and many others have equivalent to one year of university in credit courses. Less than 10 percent have only the basic qualification of high school diploma and one year at teachers‘ college. At a meeting of York County Roman Catholic Board of Ed- ucation on March 2, Assistant Superintendent John Zupancic reported that, while the board encourages teachers to take in- service and upgrading courses to improve their performance in the classroom, teachers who improve themselves educat- ionally automatically are placed in higher categories and are! entitled to more money. 1 Mr. Leslie suffered a punc- tured lung and had been under- going treatment at Toronto Gen- eral Hospital.

The board agreed that every effort should be made to main~ tain and improve in-service training opportunities for teach~ ing staff, including principals and supervisory personnel. “Although the 1971 budget will be restricted somewhat by the new ceilings (imposed by the Department of Education). I would like to recommend that the iii-service budget should not be cut drastically because it is only with upgrading of our staff what we can expect to have bet~ ter performance." ‘ Vaughan Trustee Noreen Lee observed that teachers are in~ dividuals and have a right to their private life, but that if their effectiveness as teachers was suffering, whatever the cause, they should be disciplined accordingly. Mr. Zhbancic concluded his report with the comment that, Richmond Hill Trustee Father Francis Robinson commented that the teacher who studies all night is no worse than the teacher who drives to North Bay to play hockey at night and; appears in the classroom in the: morning “looking like the wrath ‘ of God." Superintendent Joe Hodge as~ Sured him that most of the teachers on staff are "pretty dedicated." He added that new teachers are advised not to try to take a university course during the winter in their first year of teaching, but many take summer courses to build up credits toward a degree. Richmond Hill Trustee John Taylor agreed, “A PhD. in- dicates that a man is a good student. but this does not nec- essarily mean that, he is a good teacher." “Are the children suffering because the teachers are taking these courses?" he asked.

It is intended that as the ‘basic concepts are taught, dif- lficulties shall be eliminated stage by stage. It is hoped that since the progress through the steps is gradual and develop- mental in nature the student will be encouraged to proceed to more difficult work through the achievement of success at lower levels. Don Head students are very busily planning the exhibitions and events for the second open house to be held April 7 â€"â€" afternoon and evening. Each week this column will publish news of some of the prepara- tions. The math centre will be open. This room has a program unique in the area, which has attracted many visitors from other areas. The program, which is continually being re- vised, is designed to teach the initial concepts of arithmetic. As the program proceeds it is intended to go over all pro- cesses in a developmental method. It is not intended to create mathematical scholars, but to best fit each individual for his role in life as a mature taxpaying adult.

Gentle as a Lamb ‘ “One of the must promising approaches to increased citizen involvement is to build strong local governments by decentral- izing power and strengthening local autonomy," Ontario Lib- eral Leader Robert Nixon told the nomination meeting of the York Centre Liberal Associa- tion held Friday evening in Richmond Hill High School Auditorium. Three years ago, he charged, the Smith Committee on Taxa- tion described the present sys- tem of conditional grants as "chaotic". but virtually no re- form of the grant structure has been made. Mr. Nixon advo- cates a larger tinconditional grant to the municipalities, and fewer grants with strings at. tached, to encourage local aut- onomy. Mr. Nixon went on to state emphatically that local govern- ments must have substantial re- sponsibility if they are to at- tract talented men and women. “Rather than decentralize pow- er and strengthen local auton- omy, the present government has taken just the opposite ap- proach. It has centralized power in a Queen‘s Park bureauc- racy,” he charged. The Liberal Leader also pointed out that the Robarts Government took over direct responsibility for the assess- ment of real property despite a recommendation of the Smith Committee that real property assessment be carried out by the regional or county govern- ments. He also maintained that the Conservative Government has seriously infringed on local Strong Local Government Needed Bob Nixon Tells Area liberals!

Once an official plan has been adopted by a munici- pality. the developer should not have to submit each application to the Department of Municipal Affairs. The approval should be given or withheld at the local level.
