Petersen, President of The Sterling Trusts corporation, today announced an increase of 11 per cent in the operating profit of the Corporation for the First Quarter of 1972, the net earnings from operations being $211,000 compared with $175,500 for the First Quarter of 1971, This increase in operating profit is liter absorbing increased expenditures relative to branch development and computerization of records. Net earnings per share amounted to 19 cents as•compared Ontario's -educational system and its quality were rated good by the majority of 1,000 parents surveyed during the past year. The survey, by an independent research group undertaken for the Ministry of Education, indicated that universal availability was the best feature . of the system, Details of the study were released by Education Minister Thomas Wells last week in a speech to the annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations at Niagara Falls. The survey found that 85 per cent of those interviewed were happy with the quality of education provided and that most also agreed that their children were basically happy with their education, Not only were those interviewed generally satisfied, 70 per cent said that education has improved in the past five years. The study found that the sex, geographic region, income and educational level of the parents interviewed made little difference with respect to their opinions of the system and its quality. The only significant factor was the age of those interviewed, Younger parents, those in their twenties, were more apt to be enthused about their child's education and the school system. The -researchers found the parents tobe more satisfied with the elementary system than the secondary, To the parents surveyed quality education means a system that instills students with learning, occupational and social skills combined with the values of self- sufficiency, respect for learning, respect for others and self- discipline. Keys to quality education as rated by the parents were competent, student-centred teaching by qualified and dedicated teachers, and courses which are fundamental, practical, interesting and varied. The parents stated that the traditional "Three R's" should be emphasized in quality education. The areas of the curriculum they judged to be weak included penmanship, grammar, reading speed and Canadian studies. They suggested that teachers put greater emphasis on formal instruction and also become more involved with student problems, exhibit more dedication and keep parents better informed, They supported small classes and judged the ideal student- teacher ratio to be about 20 to 1. The majority also indicated that Many vegetables can be grown A surprising amount of vegetables can be grown in a small area in your own back yard. A few tomato plants will usually supply all the tomatoes the average family can use from midsummer until frosts occur. Green onions, radishes, carrots and beets are other popular vegetables to include in a kitchen garden. Peas are also popular. However, they must be planted early. Corn and vine crops require plenty of space. If you have the room, plant more than one variety of sweet corn. Then you will have a second variety ready after the early varieties are finished. Most vegetables can be grown by planting seed in well-prepared soil says, Russ Gomme, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The exceptions are tomatoes and peppers. They should be planted as seedlings after the danger of frost is past. they believed current teachers' Salaries were "just about right" to insure quality in the teaching profession, A slight majority opposed open space classrooms, believe that the discipline should be stricter and that the quality of school counselling is inadequate, They also indicated that the vocational preparation offered by the system does not ready the student for the working world. The parents stated that the teacher, the teaching profession and the school principal should be the key forces in deciding what and how to teach. The student, parent-teacher groups, the school trustees and the general public were also rated as candidates for decision-making but to a much lesser extent, Parent-teacher interviews rated highest for parental involvement with the system while a suggestion of house calls,by teachers was flatly rejected. Although the study indicated that more than 90 per cent of the parents have a positive image of the quality of education in Ontario, most had suggestions for improvements. Parents rate Ontario 4 ,. educational system highly - with 20 cents for the First Quarter of 1971. The decrease in earnings per share reflects an increase in the number of shares outstanding at the end of the First Quarter of 19'72. Mr. Petersen anticipates that the trend to increased profits will continue despite a tendency for interest rates to increase.
