It's Canadian
Education Week
A school teacher of 30 years
Igo finda changes in today's me
Mods of • teaching an4 more mo-
dern ways of presenting the sub-
tect matter, Grata' decided es she
visited the public school to get a
otory for Education Week.
On Friday afternoons the Jun-
ior grades meet in the auditor-
ium for visual education films
secured through the. Department
of Education, I arrived at the
school just in time to see a film
A Page Devoted to the Interests of the Women Readers of The Times -Advocate
entitled "Maple Syrup Time".
Filmed in color, it showed
men tapping the trees,. gathering
the sap and boiling the syrup in
the sugar houses where they
work all night when the process
is nearing completion. We learn-
ed that the Indians discovered
the secret of making maple syrup
and passed it on to their descend-
ents.
Miss Doris Robinson's class re-
mained to see a lesson film en-

titled "Why Punctuate?", which
illustrated the confusion which
followed the printing of a POWs -
paper without punctuation, One
Sentence, used to illustrate hoW
omitting punctuation marks
changes the meaning, was, "I'm
hungry, Let's eat, Grandma",
Which became "I'm hungry let's
eat Grandma."
Films Popular
Principal Arthur Idle informed
us visual education has become
more popular in the last five to
10 years. Film counells, which
provide machines and educational
films, are being established
throughout Ontario.
-Mrs. R. D. jermyn's grade one
pupils were studying "Commun-
ity Helpers" in their social study
periods. The fireman was their
topic for the week. A picture of
a fire, cut from the local paper,
a large colored picture of a fire-
man and short sentences about
his work made the subject very
real to the child. Their theme
for the following week was to be
"Doctors and Nurses" and they
had made crayon pictures of
South Huron Hospital as the
start for the project.
Reading doesnot begin with
learning the alphabet but by
learning sight words'. After the
child has a basic vocabulary of
75-100 sight words he begins to
read. He r ec ogniz es similar
sounds and before he goes to
grade two he must know all the
sounds and be able to use .them.
By the end of grade three, the
pupil must be able to read well
enough to master all the basic
skills of reading and be able to
apply them, Pupils of grades
four, five and six are handicap-
ped if a proper reading level has
not been eutabilshed and thus
the emphasis in the primary
grades is on reading.
Primary pupils. work in groups
a..t. their own learning level. In
that way the slower ones do not
b e c o m e discouraged and the
quicker pupils are not held back.
To School
"The cooperation of •publishers
with the schools has resulted in
many improved text books", prin-
cipal Idle remarked.
Encourage Pupils
"Crafts and handwork, some-
times labelled "frills", have a
purpose," Mrs. Jermyn told us,
"for often the slower pupils have
skill along that line and are en-
couraged by their success."
The geography of Canada Is
studied by following the courses
of explorers and the expansion a
new countries. Grade six geo-
graphy goes into details of the
North American continent.
Visiting the school again last.'
Friday morning, I attended as-
sembly. Pupils of Miss Nancy Stn-
asac's second grade were in charge
of the nrogram with Bobby Hig-
gins as master of ceremonies.
The flag salute was led by Les-
ter Heywood and Brian Sweitzer.
Sandra Hunter led in repeating
the Lord's Prayer. The Bible
story, "The Good Samaritan,"
'was read by Lana Keller, Sheila
Bonallie recited a poen, "Help
One, Another."
Marion Bentley introduced the
Rev. Samuel Kerr who spoke on
the migratory instinct of birds
and fish. John Harness thanked
the speaker. Lina Hunter-Duvar
played a piano solo.
A visit to Miss Helen Anthony's
room was interesting. Her pupils
were having their poetry period.
A new poem was read In unison,
then by members of the class. It
was written into their book- of
stories and poems. 'Glancing
through these, we found each
poem or story was accompanied
by an appropriate picture and we
couldn't help noticing the neat
appearance of the books.
Design Book Covers
That afternoon in their art
class, these pupils were to design
hook covers from which one
would be chosen for a book they
will send to a school in Egypt
through the Red Cross. It will
contain snapshots of the school
and interesting places in the
town. Stories of their school ac-
tivities will be included. There
will be an exchange of books
with pupils In an Egyptian
school.
An Interesting project, <Life in
French Canada," compiled by the
class, contained many illustra-
tions in crayon, bounii together
in book form.
The health lessons in the sen-
ior grades stress good grooming
And good posture. During a half-
hour health `period each week,
Miss Anthony takes the girls of
the three upper' grades to the
'auditorium for volley ball, basket-
ball and square dancing. Princi-
pal Idle conducts the boys' class.
After watching the girls go
through several square dances, I
decided they enjoyed it just as
much as the Senior Citizens.
The friendly spirit of staff and
pupils made 'my visit to the pub-
lic school a.pleasant assignment.
Once you've been a school teach-
er you never really get the chalk
dust out of your veins and "going
back to school" brings back many
happy memories.
