High School Board Fred Snyder Guidance Coâ€"Ordinator SCAN NEWS HAVE YOU READ THE REPORT OF THE MINISTER‘S COMMITTEE ON TEACHER FEDUCATION 1966° . The Ontario Association for the Mentally Retarded doos not confine its thinking to its own area of concern. "We need (-hangmg pat â€" terns of communication between home and school. We need supervised ‘homework during school hours; perhaps we should introduce the tutorial system in all our schools." . The following extracts from a circular, issued under authority of the Minister of Education in April, 1937. are still applicable:â€" "These children (pupils in the clementary school) are at a period when vital energiecs are largely consumed in _physu'al devvrlopm(-nt. and consequently they must have time for rest and recreation. The school has no excuse for infringing upon the right of the children to sufficient time for sleep and play and the iright of the home to direct their activities outside c_nf school I)ours, There can be no _duum that both of these rights are seriously ercroached upon by the prescription of â€" homework, illâ€"chosen in character z_md excessive m quantity. For pupils in Grades 1 to VI there is ample tire dvtring the school day to enguge in the necessary activities satisfactorily without burdening them with additional school work to be done at home" A teacher‘s opinion on the Education of Teachers iss â€" "The vast majority of educational problems today stem from the inadeâ€" quate training of teachers to becomc professionals in the art of tcaching. L,.oock of cultural background and maturity of purpose and judgment make the present Teachers College graduate only a goodtechnician in the classsoom. Expertness in the "tricks of the trade" is not cnougzh for the present nor for the predictable future.‘" "No one will live all his life in the world into which he was born, and no one will dic in the world in which he worked in lus maturity."

Thus you will haÂ¥e a broader spcoctrum to consider in your local planning. Since 1959 ihe Ontario Dental Association has carried on a recruitment programme to encourage rural stuCcents to enter denâ€" tistry because they are the ones most likely to return and increass the ratio of doentists to population there. Inequality of educational opportunity in these areas has thwarted the intent of the recruitment programm:. WHAT CAN BE DONE* From the point of view of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers‘ Association, music is a necessary and vital part of education. The Ontario Federation of Agricuiture says:â€"â€" "The philosophy that education ends at the completion of high school or even univerâ€" sity is now completcly untrue. It is a continuing and increasingly im portant lif. time â€" _ need. Learning is a voluntary action, but society must provide encouragement and the facilities for the individual to continue to learn." BAKERIES LTD.
