Besides the fact that tb,e committee -felt the home is primarily responsible for religious education, McTavish argued that "it would be difficult for the schools not to doctrinize, even if they tried fiat to." He added the committee didn't want parents to feel they hive to withdraw their children from' courses or opening exercises because of their objections to the religious content. - And to Offer a religious program broad enough to satisfy everyone would mean that the schools would have to "water down" any • such program so much so that it wouldn't be helpful. As a solution, Mr. McTavish said a moral values program could cover a lot of what people have said they want. without 'getting in to religious education. • Followingja-Recaretamhe six rantni no nmsm endations that the committee intena to propose to the board at the public meeting on Oct. 24: 1. that the ministry of education require- ments that both elementary and secondary schools be opened each morning with religious exercises be, carried out, and that such exercises be relevant, meaningful and 'involve e the students.

He explained that the committee's job had been only to come Up ' with recommendations,': not to actually develop a program. He added that in other countries, it has taken up to five years to actually get such a , , program into the schools. and while the committeedidn't want to move top slowly, it felt a cautious approach would avoid many of the problems that can arise from rushing into such education too quickly. The film, "Death 'of a Gandy Dancer," pictured a number ohnoral dilemmas facing members of a family when they are told their grandfather is dying of cancer. It was shown as an example of what kind of resources a moral-values-program-could-be-expected-to Following the film, Mrs. Neigh comment- ed that many times "sensitive and delicate issties". such as • death would come up in dass for discussion. "Deep feelings are going to be aroused on occasion," she said. "But expertly handled, there would be no 4gi problemS," 'she added. 4.6 Mr. McTavish stressed that a moral _values program would not be a separate program, but would' fit into existing programs.
