18 Because he did not wish to get into a rut, and wished to better himself, he resigned from the Burriss school after five years, and, came to Southern Ontario (without a school in view). In September of that year (1939) he was teaching in Port Dover, and the following year did better himself considerably (his own words) by coming to Waterloo. In the fall of 1940 he started teaching at Elizabeth Ziegler Public School. Here he taught grades 7 and 8 and two grade nines on a rotary basis (quite similar to the present senior After the session at Hamilton, he returned to the Rainy River district as principal of Burtviss Consolidated school â€" this was an area school for all children. The children were taken to school in horse drawn vans durâ€" ing the winter months, and by bus in the summer. Mr. Anderâ€" son points out that this school went to the end of grade 10, had an auditorium and stage, a home economics room and manual training which he taught once a week. After five years in LaVallee, he returned for his compulsory second year at the Normal school in Hamilton (1933â€"34). During this year he also took on the added responsibility of orâ€" ganist in one of the city churchâ€" es. During this time also, he met and made the acquaintance of Mr. Eben Cressman, little thinking that they would both end as principals in the same school system. . His first teaching post was in La Vallee, in a grade "C" Conâ€" tinuation school. This is in the Rainy River district and the school went to grade 10. During his stay there, he was also an organist and choir leader in their church, and was also acâ€" tive in their CSET corps, an orâ€" ganization for teenage boys.

(He fondly recalls though, one â€" student who completed grade 8 under him, and then went directly to Upper Canada College). He believes â€" each school should have a classroom where they can get individual help, and, when enrollment alâ€" lows, likes to have this personâ€" ally. He has had several â€" the first was during the process of school expansion (1958), was held in the Mount Zion Church School room. They have, he Qur Board, he continues, is one of the finest updated school boards, controlling our most valâ€" ued possession, our children. I admire the vitality and leaderâ€" ship of Mr. MacEachern, as board chairman, and have a great deal of respect for the abâ€" ilities and understanding of all the members. Superintendent Hougham is an ideal intermediary between the school board and the prinâ€" cipals, and has fulfilled his role admirably in the five years I have known him. Philosophy: My fellow coâ€"workers, (prinâ€" cipals) are an exceptionally fine group, and I have enjoyed the fellowship in our meetings. We may not have always seen eye to eye, but this is what brings proâ€" gress, and as the system grows, our progress must always be not only equal to this growth but, as far as possible, in adâ€" vance of it. I do not believe our system need take a back seat to any other. Ever since working here, says Mr. Anderson, I have had a wonâ€" derful staff, very coâ€"operative and understanding, and also very human. This staff is a very close knit family â€" always workâ€" ing for the good of the school in harmony with one another. "I cannot express enough, my apâ€" preciation for the continued feelâ€" ing of oneness that has made my position as principal so enâ€" joyable and satisfactory." Coâ€"workers: Mr. Anderson recalls that when the school was first built, there were no homes close by, except for the farm house that still stands on Alexandra street, and a few homes on Westmount. The total enrollment at the beâ€" ginning was 200 pupils and the school had eight rooms with six of the rooms in use. For the first year the school board used to meet in one of the rooms. In arrangement. The principal of the school was the late C. J. MacGregor and Mr. Anderson pays tribute to him as an outâ€" standing ‘organiter and guide for anyoue to follow. 1958, all the rooms were in use and a four room addition beâ€" came necessary â€" In ‘62, increaâ€" sed enroliment forced the buildâ€" ing of yet another four room addition, along with other reâ€" modelling. The present enrollâ€" ment stands at 570 pupils with 16 classrooms. The kindergarten enrollment when the school opâ€" ened was approximately 18, and now stands close to 100.

The folâ€" lowing junior grade teachers must follow that pattern. term, and classroom teachers should not have to struggle through a maze of rules, regul> tions and routines, to complete a specified amount of work in a specified time. Personal: A principal, he states, should get to know each kindergarten placed where they will deo their best work. Aithough all teachâ€" ers are extremely important, the grade 1 teacher starts the children on the path of learnâ€" ing â€" teaching them to think, to accept duties, to develop a sense of wonder, to have self disci Mr. Anderson also feels that, because teachers are in close contact with each pupil each day, he could rely more on their judgement of the childs proâ€" gress than on the many diagnosâ€" tic tests. Useless, time consumâ€" ing, paper work should be kept to a bare minimum.
