elementary school teachers
gathered in Blyth last week
and were told it is important to
fight equal grants for elemen-
tary and high schools.
Mrs. Mary Hesser, president
of the Federation of Women's
Teachers Associations of On-
tario said in a news conference
after the closed meeting that
there is no longer a reason for a
difference in per pupil grants
from the provincial government
to local school boards.
Mrs. Hesser said she was
worried because rather than
closing the gap between grants
for elementary schools students
and secondary school students,
the government was actually
widening the gap. .Mrs. Hesser
said there is a difference of
$527 between per-pupil grants
for secondary and elementary
schools. She said this difference
has historical roots dating back
to when secondary schools were
more specialized than elemen-
tary schools, Costs were higher
in running a secondary school
because of the expensive equip-
ment for 'shops in vocational
schools and laboratories. Class
sizes had to be smaller in the
shops so costs were higher. •

secondary school teachers also

The Maitland Valley Region
of the Historical Automobile
Society of Canada, held an
executive meeting of 1974 of-
ficers and their wives at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Felkar, Kurtzville on Thursday
evening, November 15.
The 1974 officers are as
follows:
President, Harold Felkar,
Kurtzville; vice-president, Don
McNeil, Brussels; treasurer,
Harold Cosens, Gowanstown;
secretaries, Philip and Marie
Parson, Gowanstown; ac-
tivities, Max Watts, Brussels;
Doug Conley, Wingham;safety,
Charles Hudson, Kurtzville;
Grant McKenzie, Drew; direc-
tors, Lloyd Forler, RR I Clif-
ford; Harvey Douglas, Atwood;
Murray Hall, Wingham; Geo.
Brown, Gorrie.
The executive agreed on the
activities proposed: that mon-
thly tours to various areas of
the region are to be held on the
third Sunday of each month
from May until October; that
indoor meetings from Novem-
ber until April be held on the
third Tuesday of each month in
the Gowanstown Municipal
Hall at 8 p.m.
One of the highlights of the
tours will be to Huronview in
Clinton in June, in period
costume to help celebrate
Senior Citizens Week and also
several centennial celebrations
being held in 1974.
Villages or towns having a
made a difference, she said.
But now, with new government
regulations coming into effect
which make it necessary for a
elementary school teacher to
have a university degree, she
said, this difference is gone. At
present, she said, about one
fifth of elementary school
teachers have degrees and
about one fifth of secondary
school teachers do not have
degrees.
In the past, she said, elemen-
tary school teachers were ex-
pected to teach only the three
R's. But now, she said, the
teacher is expected to give in-
dividualized instruction and be
able to diagnose the special
needs of each pupil. To fill this
new role, Mrs. Hesser said, the
teacher needs more help, which
makes it important more
money be devoted to elemen-
tary education. If teachers can
meet the needs of students at
the primary level, she said,
many of the problems of secon-
dary students could be
Mrs. Hesser said that to do
this, however, it is essential to
have more money and to have
smaller class sizes. She said

schools had been eliminated. If
the grant structure was made
the same for both school
systems, she said, elementary
schools could afford the things
they need to do- the job right,
such as labs and shops.
Mrs, Hesser described Mon-
day's meeting as an infor-
mation meeting and said it is
important to have the feelings
of the teachers across the
province if the Federation is to
work for a better deal.
