Davis, minister of ed- ucation, charged a group of area elementary teachers with the responsibility of directing their students into the proper "streams" under the new sec, onclary education plan, Speaking to the teachers Huron Inspectorate N.Q. 2, the yoqng lawyer said the "acquisition of knowledge of the implications of the n e w system and its possible effect upon the elementary schools is a responsibility with which you are charged." "You are the ones who sh- ould be familiar with the op- tions offered in the secondary school which pupils from your schools will attend," he stated, "and you are the ones who Must act as sources of accur- ate information for young people leaving the elementary schools," He noted that it was not up to the teachers to direct, but it is within their power to give information which will help the pupil and, the, parent select in- telligently the course in wh- ich the child may enrol in grade nine. "I can't emphasize this too strongly," he added, noting that the success of the stud- ents will depend on their ch- oice when entering grade nine. The popular cabinet minister noted the change in the sec- ondary schools, would open up new and important educational, opportunities. "Secondary schools organized on the new plan (such as CHSS) will be ,able to offer courses designed to suit the individual capacities and int- erests of the children," he commented. Backs Centralization At the banquet held in On- tario Street United Church, Mr. Davis noted that education in rural Ontario has made rapid strides during the past 20 years, and he commended the action of local authorities in attempting to provide rural children with the best facilities to be found in the finest sch- ools. "I find that new central sch- ools are being established at the rate of about 100 per year and I am told by those who should know best that any teacher present can do more for the pupils he is given to teach if he has a graded class-1 "If we teach the children in our schools' the way we were taught and the things we were taught, .we are teaching them to live in the 1920's," he said. He explained that the type of education of the . past was not the type needed by the children who will be the lead- ers in the 21st century. The 150 teachers were also urged to develop their special talents and aptitudes and to seed out opportunities for ad- vancement. "In doing so it is almost inevitable that you will give more, to your' profession, more to the comrriunity which you serve and at the same time you will add to your own self-sat- isfaction," Mr. Davis added. Noting that the education standards of the profession should be high, Davis predict- ed an end to the two - year course offered for grade 12 st- udents and even hinted that it may reach higher standards than the present grade 13 basis.' He noted • as well t h at a teacher's education continues long after he' leaves teacher's college and commended those who had continued their self education, terming this the most valuable part •of teacher education. Mr. Davis explained that the recently-adopted system of pr- oviding four standards of cer- tificates for elementary-school teachers gives recognition to both academic and professional improvement and should serve as an incentive for teachers to grow intellectually and prof- essionally. Rewarding Task In complimenting the teach- ers on their work with the children of the province, the speaker stated that elementary school teachers have an influ- ence upon the citizens of to- morrow and consequently upon the destiny Of the country, Wil- lett is probably equalled by few ,other people in the .community, "Teachers not only have young children in their form- etive years for a large per- eentage of their waking hours," he stated, "but they also have the opportunity to influence them threogh the respect these Young people hold for them," Be .asked the teachers pi' e$.- eat if they were fully aware of this tremendous influence and asked if they were giving of their best, "Teaching is a rewarding profession", he stated, "and can appreciate the satisfaction resulting from the sudden fl- ash of insight' of a youthful mind stimulated by a particu- larly apt illustration of a skil- ful teacher." Noting that the elementary program was as equally impor- tant as the secondary, Mr.. Davis said he hoped there would be more co-operation be- tween the teachers in each section. I hope someday we will be one group, he added, In concluding his talk, Mr. .

"Guides All Guides," the first movie, was about Doe Lake in the beautiful Muskoka District right here in Ontario, This World Camp sees Guides com- ing from every corner of the globe. Costurnes very with dif- ferent countries but the spirit of the girls is the. same. Guides coming to Canada for the first time took this oppor- tunity to Visit in Montreal, To- ronto or Niagara Falls on their way to camp, At Doe Lake the girls demonstrated their skills at buikling campfires, pitching in the erecting of tents, in the cooking of meals and in sports. Evening were made very en- joyable when the Guides exe- cuted dances in native costum- es, singing songs to rnesical ad- companiment here were nice examples of citizenship and friendship. The second film called "The Wider World" gave a lOok at Guiding in foreign lands. The first place visited was Mexico. Here was a colourful fiesta. Guides were seen rendering such services as teaching writ= 'rig to illiterate people , of the area. 'Young and old alike took advantage of this to become itent °clawed. It seems a fiesta is 'levet complete Without the fen of , the pinata.: in this instanee, Doh- ald OtIck filled with goodies, Was the' highlight of the gay affair'. The cernere, then moved to tenteral where blind Davis quoted the following poem of Arthur Guiterman: "No printed word nor spoken plea Can teach young hearts what men should be, Not all the books on all the shelves, But what the teachers are themselves, Elect Officers The recommendation of the nominating committee, submit- ted by\ Garnet Harland, Clin- ton, was accepted, and the following appointed for 1969- 64, Ernest Crawford, Victor Lewiston .School, Goderich, chairman; Mrs. Jack Corey, Goderich, secretary .and Mrs. Ron Castle, Goderich, treasur, er.
