The "rimes-Atiltor te, January 19. 1941 .yY KEY TO HURON COUNTY—"phis key will open the door of every house in Huron county", retiring warden John Durnin told Reeve Ivan Forsyth, Tuckersmith, after the later's election to the top county post Tuesday. The 1960 warden also presented the chain of office and gavel to his successor. Reeve Forsyth urged council to consider carefully new proposals for county services which would increase costs. SH te yrs favor grade 13 c.hanges Lipper. school teachers at. SHDHS favor reduction in the number of grade 13 depart- mental examinations and ap- prove, with qualifications, a current proposal to restrict en- rolment in grade 13 to those students who are preparing to enter university. The SHDHS teachers' opin- ions were expressed in answers to' questionnaires distributed by the federation and the head- masters' association. Principal H. L. Sturgis re- vealed to the board the an- swers he and his grade 13 teachers had agreed upon. The questions and replies were: 1. What is your opinion re- garding the proposal of reduc- ing the number of ,grade 13 examinations having, for in- stance, one paper in each of the modern languages, one in English, one in biology, per- haps two in math? "Some of the objective type of papers can cover a great area of the subject, We be-? lieve That the above proposal is practical." 2. What do ;•ou think of hav- ing two types of examinations in grade 13 — one for high school graduation and one for universityadmission? "We can see many difficul- ties in this proposal. Some stu- dents will be tempted to try the wrong examinations. We , believe it will multiply head- , aches, both at the dep't and at the local school level," Grade 12 graduation? 3. What is your opinion of the proposal to establish grade 12 as the high school gradua- tion point and confirming grade 13 to a year of prepara- tion of students who plan to enter university? '/We feel the public should be educatedto this viewpoint. Would this mean that hospitals now demanding .grade 13 stand ard.-would have to do the edu- cating beyond the grade 12 level and likewise the teachers' colleges? If it does, we are entirely in favor of the pro- pose]." 4. What is your opinion on the question of whether some of the other provinces are able in a 12 -year senior matricula- tion course to prepare eandi- dates for university and for life in general as well as we in Ontario do it in our 13 -year changes in the course of study — such r s more extensive courses rather than more in- tal work with more equipment —might free it of this charge. We feel there should be a great- er emphasis of well -argued opin- ions rather than answers which require obscure detail. This latter point presupposes a cer- tain type of examination ques-, Lion."
