Watch the bulletin board for details and sign up! Members of the Ski Club were entertained at a film night held by the Terrace Bay Venturers on February 6th. Four ski films were shown and we had to admit that skiing is sure different in Switzer land than at the Terrace Ba y Ski Club! Thanks Venturers.

The Ontario Department of Labour. --and therein js the problem. * The schools have probably the lowest pupil-teacher ratio in Ontario--about 12.8 to }, as opposed to 16.4 to 1 in Metro and the rest of the province-- and Mr. Morgan can see no way to bring it any higher. "If we raise the pupil teacher ratio, we're going to have to close one of those schools, it's as simple as that. And I've even looked at that, but there's no way I'm going to bus those kids 70 miles each way to a school. Some of them are going nearly that far already." The situation means that more than 60 per cent of Lake Superior's $2.6-million budget is tied up in one highly visible category: teachers' salaries. They start at $8.050--Metro teachers are still negotiating to bring theirs up to $8,100 effective - last January--and procede by $500 increments. "We don't have an isolation allowance as 'such, bul we had to make the salaries at- tractive enough to give us a fair chance at some of the more experiericed teachers in the province. To even get a bite, you've got to have an at- tractive bait." Cutting or freezing salaries - would be disastrous, Mr. Mor- gan says, so he has been look- ing at every other conceivable alley for cutting costs. There aren't many. The director has already axed the district's driver edu- cation program--saving $2.000-- and is takinga look at his night school program, which is cosiing the board about $5,500 annually and off- ers courses to 'several hundred" residents of Schrei- ber, nearby Terrace Bay, and the much more distant towns of Marathon and Manitou- wadge. "These are really the only programs we've got to dicker with these small schools; if we cut anywhere else we'd be down to a program that would be far less than anything off- ered anywhere else. We only offer a limited amount as it is. \ "If you've only got one class of Grade 12 English, you just can't cut it out, even if there are only nine students taking the course. It may make for a great pupil-stu- dent ratio, but that's it. "And why should these kids have . fo i for the bare bones of an education any- way?" His theme -- that students in the northern-part of Ontario are always disadvantaged. in terms of the southern part of the province © (called . "the East" by those who live on top of "Lake Superior)--is taken up with a vengeance by local teachers who already feel that when the crunch comes, they will have to bear the brunt of it. As far as they are con- cerned, down-Easteners ha- ven't the faintest idea of prob- lems up North, don't intend to find out what they are, and continued page 10 ..
