people," he said.
He said if he has any main
philosophy about education, it
is that the basics are very im-
portant. He called himself a
"bit of a tratliAnalist".
"t think the basic skills of
reading, writing and arithmetic
are still very important," he
said.
His main hobbies are sports
and local history. He and his
brother, Ron, who is principal
at Zurich Public School also
have a farm on the Hayfield
River.
"We don't do most of the
work ourselves," explained Mr.

to get out to putter around".
Mr. Jewitt presently resides
with his family in Clinton, and
said that they plan to stay
there, for the time being
anyway.
