THERE. ARE other details in Which some readers may be in- terested, but unfortunately space does not permit a com, plete account . One of the 'things for which space must be used this week is to report that proceedings are in high gear for the annual Minor Hockey Day programto beheld next weekend, January 24 and 25 . . . Once again the ener- getic gentlemen who organize minor hockey in. Clinton have come up with a weekend jam- .med full of activities which promise to make this one of the better events ever staged here, although ekcept for ' the cold weather, we don't . know how they can possibly improve upon last year. THE EVENT commences on Friday at 6:30 with a banquet at the local Legion and which will feature one of the best_ known men in the hockey busi- ness, Jack Adams, former man- ager of the Detroit Red Wings and now president of the Cen- tral Professional League south of the border . . . "Jovial Jawn" is one of the most col- ourful figures to ever be assoc- iated with hockey and he will undoubtedly have a speech that no hockey enthusiast would dare friss . . . Tickets are on sale at the office here at the News -Record and also at Hatel Clinton and are only $2.00 . Other guests at 'the event will be Dennis Riggin, former goal- ie for the Red Wings; "Tory" Gregg, the well-known brew promoter and avid sportsman; Tack Roxborough, former OHA prexy, now Norfolk; MP; John Crewson, president of t h e WOAA ... And of course, Andy Petrere and his• cohorts from Dearborn, who are making their fifth consecutive "good will" trip to Clinton . . . A juvenile hockey game follows when the locals tackle a squad from Lon - eon and Adams will drop the enen to get it going and Riggin will be out refereeing. TtIAT IN itself sounds to be a real great time, but it's only half of what's going on . A squirt tournament Will be held on Saturday morning and the pee weer tackle Byronin the afternoon and thenat night the Clinton midgets and ban- tams fight it out with theDear- born kids , . Doug Andrews, who' is chairman of the event, reports it is completely organ- ized except for a few last Min- ute details and the only thing which can possibly stop it from being a httge suecess is the lack of support from Clinton and area, residents :.. And we KNOW they won't let that hap- pen , , . Plan now to attend and get your poral chords in shape!

List Draw. Winners The Father Stephen Eckert Council, cf Seaforth and District, held their special .Christmas .draw on Thursday at a regular meet - in. Due• to weather conditions the draw had been postponed two weeks, The first draw for $100.00 was made by District Deputy Dan Creighton, London, with the innerr lie e beingh a .� w.C Pryce, RR 1 Dublin, Seller of the winning ticket was • Clem Krauskopf, Second prize of $50 was won by A.

In 1939, the examination per- iod was reduced to two days, as history, geography, writing and memory work were remov- ed from the list of departmen- tals, and only doubtful students wrote. In 1949, Mr. Gray reported, the departmental exams were dropped entirely. Mr. Gray .said he. was not in favour of reinstating the 'ex- ams, pointing out that he thought this would in no way provide the 'answer to any ills in existence in the present ed- ucation system. He 'said he felt that central schools and better teacher training would provide better answers to the problem. The local '"principal stated that at Clinton, three sets of exams were .held during the year and the final mark was arrived at on the basis of these exams and on the assessment of the year's work. Tests were obtained from the Guidance Centre in Toronto and these were given in an effort to rate the local ,pupils with those in other sections of. On- tario. The tests obtained from the Guidance Centre are given to thousands of students and the marks are averaged, so that it is possible to determine how a student stands oe the basis of his mark on the test. Mr. Gray pointed out also that failures in grade eight at Clinton were very small be- cause they followed the prac- tice, of having the child repeat a grade just as early as pos- sible when it was shown that he was not keeping up with his grades. Some Federationmembers re- marked at the meeting that this practice was not always followed at rural schools, but rather Students were put on whether they knew the work or not. Mr. Gray concluded by not - Legion ladies Again Donate To Bursary Fund The newly installed president, Mrs. Robert Burke, presided over the first regular meeting of thelyeer'of the Ladies Aux- iliary to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 140.

A trip to Westmitister Hos- pital to 'Visit and entertain the ing that one of the few advan- tages he could see with a de- partmental examination was the fact that the responsibility of determining if a student should pass or fail would be taken out of the teacher's realm of responsibility. Some Advantages Mr, Nediger said he felt there were some advantages in de- partmental examinations in that it would provide a standard of achievement for the pupils and a goal to be reached. ' He suggested teaching meth- ods would improve 3:f a stand- ard had to be met and that the exams would be a guide for teachers on what was re- quired. Showing the need for a stan- dard, he reported that in one area high school, standard tests were given to grade nine pupils at the beginning of the year, indicating that the marks attained in grade eight by some students were not the same as they would have received in other schools, He said a grade eight mark of 85 percent in one school could very well be dropped to as low as 55 percent in relation sowhat students in other hools had learned. The OHSS teacher pointed out that the use of standard text books would provide a uni- form foundation of facts for the pupils. The use of various tests in the same grade was one of the objections raised by the brief presented by Mrs. Lobb pre- viously: However, Mr. Burrows i said that the use of various tests provided a basis for broader viewpoints. In a discussion that followed, it was suggested that the basic purpose of education was' to en- courage the Students to think and that the particular 'text book was not important, But, et was also pointed out that if this was true, it would be well advised to use standard texts across Ontario and avoid the necessity of a rather diffi- cult adjustment on the part of pupils when they change schools during the year. When questioned from the floor as to show grade eight pupils cquld all have sati5fac- tory foundation for entrance to high schools, the panel suggest- ed central schools for the rural area would heap provide the answer, However, when it was point- ed out that there are still a great many rural one -room schools, and of necessity must be for some years, no solution to the problem was suggested, veterans is being planned for the early spring, The monthly draw will be discontinued 'inued lunch for the' nt but regular meetings will be pro- vided "through the funds.
