“With this early start in the vegetable garden, the early sowings can be harvested in time for a second planting. Alter- nately, tomato or squash plants could be planted for the summer months.“ When planning the vegetable garden this year, Fleming suggests trying a combination “These vegetables and young cabbage, cauliflower and onion plants can usually withstand the unsettled weather of early spring. They actually prefer cool growing conditions.“ The seeds of several common vegetables such as carrots. beets. peas, lettuce. spinach and radishes can be sown just as soon as the ground can be worked. An early start in the vegetable garden can mean two or even three crops each season, says R.A. Fleming, Ontario ministry of agriculture and food horticulturist. So they resurrected the matter of junior kindergartens. commissioning a research report on them. The result is a 24-page treatise, offering such enlightenment as this found on page five: “To understand what is possible to offer J. K. students, one has to go beyond the goal statements to the value structures of the two basic approaches. One must determine which approach is more compatible with the community (parents, Gardening York County board of education, for example, is good at that sort of thing, always quick to give desperate ratepayers a hearing, and rushing up to congratulate them for their presentation afterwards. The latter bit of decorum they learned after a delegation of parents seeking junior kin- dergartens in the system, were given a “rude” hearing. The parents complained loudly in the hallway later on, and the board probably decided there and then that. even if they didn‘t believe in the cause being presented, they would at least give the appearance of being concerned. One thing about living in a democracy is that we are constantly being fed tidbits to show us we are living in one and are being given our full devaluated dollar’s worth.

(it) is concerned to develop in the learner such behaviors as have been predetermined by adults regardless of the learner‘s individual or natural bent. The learning dynamic is external to the student." Laymen will perhaps recognize them under a variety of other names or in terms of specific models. The behavioralist approach is sometimes called the ‘direct instruction method.‘ “The approaches are known to professional educators as: (1) the behavioralist and (2) the phenomenologist approaches to edqcation. The report says nothing about costs or facilities. It is more important to discuss such things as “phonology,” “syntactic and morphology skills," and then moving quickly on to “visual discrimination, auditory discrimination, kinesthetic and tactile recognition and perception.” It gets worse as it goes along, sounding more and more as if they were preparing any children enrolling for a walk on the moon.

But at least the junior kindergarten parents got a little gobbledlygook to munch on while the matter itself gathers dust. That‘s more than can be said about a group of parents from Mount Joy in the Old Town of Markham who appeared before the board Monday night for the second time in the past three weeks. They were objecting to the board's decision to move 65 children from Franklin public school to James Robinson school, in order to accommodate 76 students from the over-crowded Reesor Park school, both for practical reasons and for reasons of safety. John Butler, spokesman for the group, said Markham Old Town would continue to be the high growth area and suggested next year would be the best time for the board to develop a plan to cope with any developâ€" ments. how you worried about those things? Much more important than whether that girl with the blue eyes laughed at your antics. Oratorica/ push-ups Sandy soils tend to dry out quickly and require the addition of peat moss to increase the water- holding capacity. To ’defermine the fertilizer requirements of your soil, Blom advises factors. If the soil is of the clay type. add strawy manure and sand to improve water and air movement through the soil.
