It is nearly six years since Mrs. Thelma Powell-Brown, who received her child-care training at Thistletown Hos- pital, opened her little school for children from 3 to 6 in Faith Lutheran Church on Hucknell Avenue in North York. In that time 104 pre-school children have been treated â€" many of them considered hope- less for normal schooling â€"- and only eight have had to be referred for residential care. The others have all adjusted to public school and life in a family setting. With the aid of a small staff and volunteer helpers, Mrs. Powell-Brown has developed her own method of working with her seriously disturbed young charges. To help prepare them for life In a less protected atmosphere, the school has an integration program, bringing in normal children to spend six weeks with the youngsters of the Pow- ell-Brown school.

At their meeting March 8, trustees received an analytical report of student transportation showing that 17,741 students are bused to school daily, and that 3,718 of these live under two miles from school. The latter group is made up mainly of kindergarten and grade 1 students, although stud- ents in higher grades are sometimes given temporary bus privilege cards where there is room for them on the buses. The largest group of stud- ents, 6,429 of them, are trans- ported between two and four miles, and 3,178 are carried betWeen four and six miles. Another 1,955 travel between six and nine miles, and 1.372 between nine and twelve miles. Just 772 are on the bus for more than 12 miles but. less than 18. In addition, 314 students have to be bused from 18 to 25 miles, and two between 25 and 35 miles. It was pointed out that some of these whose have the furth- est to travel are going to Blue Hills Academy which cares for about 12 emotionally disturbed children. Several of these children live at Blue Hills but attend school in their home area. Staff is now working on an analysis of the group which is bused less than two miles to’ see how many of these are bused for reasons of safety. ' JUST ARRIVED?
