More than 100 persons attend- ed a protest meeting Tuesday evening at the Egmondville school to object to the central school Administration — Continued from front page that they are willing to work for these things. He added that debt doesn't bother the people of to- day and indicated they must have a great faith in the future of the country. Dr. Pleva predicted that in the future more and more families will have more than one bread- winner in order to pay for the things they desire in life, He said this adds up to the need of more and a fuller education for the people of tomorrow. He pointed to the back to school surge by adults today and in- dicated people now want a con- tinuing education. "Members of the faculty must realize that this trend will mean more work for them" he said and added that he hoped that many of the young people of today would go into the teaching profession. He said that although the en- trance standards are not easy the job presents a real challenge with high standards. The changes in living space will necessitate changes in the local form of Government Dr. Pleva said. He pointed out that what has served us in the past will not meet the needs of tomorrow. He told the audience that al-. ready there is a revolution tak- ing place on the local level which will bring about changes. He said outmoded administration units must be changed into a more ef- fective unit. Speaking to the students he pointed out that in a few years the administration would be in their hands and Called on thein to be worthy of the challenge. planned for Stanley and Tucker- smith Townships. This question is expected to be a major factor in municipal elec- tions this fall. Plans call for the school to be constructed just off Highway 4 between Hensall and ,Bruc efield. School costs — Continued from front page portation as well as paying the operating cost for each student. Councillors were told that the capacity of the new building is 670. The September enrollment was 845 with a further 101 at- tending the Clinton school for a total enrollment of 946. The esti- mated enrollment for this school in five years is 1201 students. With the addition the capacity of the school would be 1160 stu- dents with an ,geffective" cap- acity of 1100. Mr. Scot pointed out that using the enrollment of the public schools of the area as a guide (2,516) it would in- dicate that the school should be ready to handle an enrollment of 1130 in five years time. He agreed that the boards' estimates appear accurate and suggested if anything the school would be not large enough rather than too large. He indicated the plan ap- pears logical. L. D. Palmer, principal of the school stated that at the present time the school is doing a good job of educating 50 percent of the students of the area and suggest- ed this could be less. He said the students who are getting the good education are those who are plan- ning to attend University. He add- ed that the others have to go to Clinton or somewhere else. Speaking of the students who attend school from this area in Clinton he pointed out that these students must ride two to two and a half hours a day on the bus. By doing this he said, they miss out on extra curricular activities. He said this is not afrill, it gives the student a chance to develop leadership as well as other things which are necessary for a well rounded education. Mr. Palmer repeated that one half the students have equal bene- fit with students attending school in the metropolitan areas, and added that with the addition the other half could also have an equal opportunity. Mr. Palmer said that it might be possible to do away with some of the shops, to get along with fe-wer shops, but pointed out the danger that the school might not be able to supply the proper edu- cation to all students. He also pointed out that at the present time grants are 75 percent. He suggested these could be less in two to three years time. In regards to enrollment pro- jections Mr. Palmer suggested that the only possibility of enroll- ment dropping would be if the RCAF Station Centralia moved out immediately taking everybody with them. Be remarked on the increased population in Ontario and said this should also cause an increase in this area. Another factor mentioned was that people now stay in school longer. Mr. Palmer said that if the addition is not built there will be many students who will not get the education they need. He sug- gested that many would not want to go to Clinton and so try another course here for which they are not fitted and then fail. He also said that if the addition is not built then an additional 100-125 students will haVe to be trans- ported to Clinton next fall. He said that courses have been start- ed here in grades nine and ten and that students can go no furth- er without an addition or trans- ferring to Clinton. In answer to questions from the floor Mr. Palmer indicated he felt that Clinton would accept the extra students if the SIIDIIS area requested and added that this might be cheaper but point- ed out the disadvantages. He said this would swell the C lint o n school to approkimately 2,000 students where a child would not get as much individual attention. lie also pointed Out the problem of transportation and the time this would involve for the stu- dents. Teaching aids — Continued from front page counselling and directing as needed. The teacher must assume an administrative role similar to that of a manager of a busi- ness department employing 20 or 30 persons." "School principals must give more than lip service to the cause of improving the learning process in the school", Mr. Rogers point- ed out. He suggested that they must become more of an ad- ministrator and less of a highly- paid clerk." "School trustee s must be aware of the contribution that can be made by technology, and must be prepared to stand up to the protests which will come his way from the public, who will belabor him no matter what he does but who in large part want the most efficient and effective methods to be adopted in the schools". Mr. Rogers called on the De- partment of Education to take the lead in giving official sanction to the increased use of tech- nology in the schools by en- couraging the aquisition of ap- proved equipment through grants to cover part of the costs in- volved, by increasing its support of the Audio Visual Branch, and by extending the work presently being done in the training, of teachers to use the various media as learning resources. Mr. Rogers listed some of the needs of the school today and to- morrow as listed in the Ontario Curriculum Institute's Tech- nology in Learning. Some of these changes in educational emphasis include: from the group to the individual; from memory to in- quiry; from spiritless climate to zest for learning; from the graded school to the ungraded school; from school buildings g e a r e d to an agrarian society-nine- month-a-year-limited to child- ren, to school building use re- flecting urban society-t we 1 v e month year- available to all age groups; from teaching as telling to teaching as guiding etc. In summing up Mr. Rogers stated that to effectively impli- ment these developments, will require the full exploitation of technology in learning, and the imagination and enthusiasm of all interested in education whether it be layman, teacher, principal or administrator.

Mischief charges -Continued from front page normal way under the circurn- stances. He contended that the car spun around due to the greasy 'condition of the road and added, this would upset anyone and cause him to drive away without think- ing of the consequences. In dismissing the charge Mag- istrate Hays said the accused should have known he had made an unorthodox act which surely must have required undue accel- eration even though it may have been necessary due to the condit- ion of the road. He added that he had a measure of doubt as to the carelessness involved to which the accused was entitled to. A similar charge against Brian McArthur, 17, was also dismiss- ed, Mr. Donnelly was council for the defence in this case as well. Constable Harry VanBergen of the Exeter Police Department investigated an accident and found three vehicles involved on Vic- toria Street. In one of the cars was McArthur and L. Jesney. The other two cars were owned by a Mr. Watson of Zurich and Mr. Dundas of Crediton. All cars were damaged and were in a no parking area. Constable Prance stated that Jesney was at the dance under the influence of alcohol and the con- stable asked whether there was anyone to drive him home. Mc- Arthur was suggested but as he had no licence a third party was contacted who consented to do it. The accident happened almost immediately about 75 feet away from the arena. McArthur told the court that the third party who was supposed to drive disappeared and he had fin- ally driven the car away from the arena. McArthur stated he was not skilled at driving a car.

Ross Willis, vice-president of the University of Western On- tario told members of the Grand Bend Chamber of C o m e roe Monday evening that it was ne- cessary to release the Bladen Commission report on Education in the middle of the election campaign because of leaks which were being used during the cam- paign. He described this report as the most significant document in the field of education which has come to hand in recent years. In giving reasons for this belief Mr. Willis pointed out that the report outlines the big job which is ahead in the field of education as well as outlining ways and means of meeting this. Mr. Willis outlined the terms of reference the commission had and told members that while many people thought this was a Royal Commission it really was not. It was financed privately. Mr. Wil- lis assisted with the brief on this report on behalf of the univer- sities to the federal government. Referring to some of the find- ings of the commission Mr. Willis said that last fall enrollment in Canadian Universities was 178,- 000 and by 1975-6 it is expected to be 461,000. The operating cost per full time student last fall was approximately $1,900 and it is expected this will double in the next decade to $3,800. He said by American standards the com- mission's projections are ex- tremely modest. Mr. Willis asked whether peo- ple viewed this problem realis- tically and compared the expense of education at the university level with the expense of keeping a prisoner In Kingston Peniten- tiary. He pointed out that the operating cost in 1975 will be less than what it costs today to keep a prisoner ;n Kingston. Mr. Willis stressed that edu- cation pays off for the govern- ment and said it is estimated that the government has already received back more in income tax because of higherwages than it spent following the se cond world war educating veterans who returned. Mr. Willis termed the section of the report dealing with student aid as "unfortunate". Be said there were some very good state- ments in regards to this in the report but unfortunately they were not carried forward in the brief thus causing the storm of protests by students. Mr. Willis said that while the government must pay a higher share of the increased costs there is still a very real place for the individual and corporate donor. In regards to free tuition Mr. Willis said the commission feels that tuition should remain at the same level it is today but there should be massive aid in the form of an increase in scholar- ships available. He said that while the old argument that fees were “character builders" is slightly out of date there are still other reasons why the fee system should be retained at least for the time being. He said it would be of little use to abolish the fees if the university was so starved for money it could not handle the students when they arrived. s10and5 41 WEEKLY • ac DRAW • 11 • *.
