(The following article taped to this page dated Apr. 27/72) The Annual Home and School Banquet held in Eastdale Collegiate, Oshawa last Tuesday ev-ening and attended by ex-ecutive representatives and some parents from our local group, was a well-attended social event. Mr. R. G. Rist, newly appointed director of curriculum services branch, Ontario ministry of education, was the guest speaker. He com-pared the Ontario school system to a delicately balanced system in a state of equilibrium. “The system is subject to stress from forces desiring to move to a more liberal curriculum, the introduction of a credit system, the establishment of restraints on growth of spending, the adjust-ment to the age of maj-ority and the tightening economy and other like strains,” he said. “If the components of the system (parents, trustees, children, teachers, municipal off-icers, etc.) cannot ad-just to stress, there is an added strain which in-jures or destroys the system.” I am convinced that we must make a concerted effort to communicate with each other about our relative involvement in the education enter-prise...The attitudes and the enthusiasm with which we attempt co-operative enterprises will be a measure of our individual and collective accountability.”
