teaching methods are "more.

for the teacher".
John Henderson of McKillop

many different methods employed
to teach reading.

Mr. Baan said that U,D.P.C.
had enjoyed a good operating
year, in 1971 and referred par-
ticularly to two major decisions
by the Board. Considerable time
was spent studying the long term
plans of the company and it was
decided that U.D.P.C. should not
only continue to retain its pro-
ducer control and co-operative
identity but should seek to ex-.
pand in tne processing and mark-
eting segment of the business.
"Christmas brings temptations
to many parents, while visiting
with neighbours or completing
last-minute shopping, to leave
small children unattended for
short periods," says Fire Chief
John F. Scott.
"At the same time decorat-
ions, trees and wrapping
paper bring an increased threat
of fire danger, unless constant
care is exercised."
The Fire Chief urges all par-
ents to recognize the fire danger
of this season, and not leave
small children alone in the home
even for a moment. He points
The Directors also decided to use
the trading name -of GAY LEA
FOODS to capitalize on the ex-
cellent image which the GAY
LEA brand name has developed
over the years and to describe
more accurately the expanding
line of food products being dis-
tributed through food stores and
the growing institutional market.
T, E. Brady, General Manager,
announced a 19.7 per cent in-
crease in sales volume to over
$31 million and an increase in
net earnings to $324,000, com-
pared with $207,000 in 1970.
Mr. Brady said that out of earn-
ings the Directors had declared
a dividend of 800 per share on
common shares. This dividend
of approximately 8 per cent,
along with the appreciation of the'
shares,, made U.D.P.C. shares a
very atractive investment.

Parents are further reminded
that under certain conditions a

Families are also urged to

HE NEEDS LOVE
This studious young fellow is Ray, five years old. He
seems younger, partly because he is small for his age, and
partly because he was born prematurely and hasnq quite caught
up to the five-year-level. His speech, for instance, is not very
clear.? But it is improving and it is expected that school will
help. psychological tests indicate he is of average ability.
His health is good after a poor start. He has a slight heart
defect but his activities are not restricted and doctors do
not expect any operation will be needed.
Ray's right eyelid droops, which gives him rather a sleepy
look. His eyesight is notaffected but corrective surgery may be
recommended later.
This is a most lovable youngster with a sweet, gentle
disposition. He enjoys other children. Ray will be a delightful
son for loving, relaxed parents. To inquire about adopting Ray
please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K. Toronto.
For general adoption, information ask your Children's Aid
Society,

Intents of school open nights and

* Appoint consultants on a
Ahort term basis from present
county staff to aid schools and
teachers wng wish assistance in
adopting non-graded methods to
their program.
* Designate financial and staff
support to schools which are
willing to write, undertake and
open. to the public, projects in
non-grading.
A survey of the elementary
schools in the, county showed
that many of the schools are al—
ready using the non-grading sys-
tem to a degree. The committee
listed 12 signs in the county
elementary schools showing a
trend toward non-grading pro-
cedures.
The committee also pointed
out that the non-graded approach
to education recognize's that each
child is unique and has his own
rate and patter n 'of physical,
mental, social and emotional
growth; that he has his own
special mode of learning with
growth continuous from infancy to
maturity; that a feeling cl success
and a lack of the inhibiting fear
of failure are essential for nor-
mal growth; and finally, that
children face certain. common
"developmental tasks" and
should work at those tasks when
they reach the appropriate ma-
* turity levels.
"The graded structure in an
elementary school presents cer-
tain barriers to putting such a
philosophy Into practice," the
report noted. "Grade lines are
part of a century old organizat-
ion, whose only educational value
lies in making it easier to ad-
minister a school or classroom.
They are recognized now as a
pail of an organization inconT
sistent with 20th century know7'.

a Ungrading a school or
classroom is one way to make
possible the continuous progress
of children," the report added.
During a frank and open ques-
tion and answer period, board
members' raised some of their
concerns about the open concept
and the non-graded system.
Chairman of the Board, R.M.
Elliott, said he wonders if
education wasn't "going around
in (-Circles", with the open con-
cept and even the non-graded
system a type of return to the
old one-room schools where stu-
dents could listen to anything that
interested them, in grades above
or below' them.
Arnold Mathers claimed that
in the new system, schools were
"keeping the best part of the
one-room school" - that of eX-
posure to various levels df learn-
ing - but with the added advan-
tage of a teacher having less
grades to handle at home time and
more teaching aids with which to
work. -
Several questions were asked
concerning what would happen to
students coming out of this
system into high school, and it
was declared that the credit sys-
tem to . go into effect in the
county high schools this fa ,
would enhance the prop9 ed
adjustments at the elementary
level.
,The board learned that edu-
cators were not neglecting the
basic three R's in the new
methods.

portant for all time," said
