The meeting was a new move to bring closer communication be- tween the high school, grade eight teachers, students and par- ents. Prior to the meeting grade eight teachers, school principals, representatives of the area sep- arate schools and area school inspector G. J. Burrows were guests of the SHDHS board for dinner following a meeting be- tween these people and teachers at the SHDHS. Board chairman K. H. Johns and management committee chairman Dr. R. W. Read represented the board on this occasion. Parents and teachers were given the opportunity to tour the building between 7:00 and 7:30 pm and 9:00 and 9:30 pm. Approxi- mately 550 parents and students were on hand to hear an outline of the courses offered both at this school as well as the Sec- ondary school at Clinton. A live- ly question and answer period allowed parents to qu estion teachers further as to require- ments for universities, nurse training and many other profes- sions. The parents were given an Wellington Brock — Continued from front page mental Woodlot Assistance policy and what it will do for private land owners, the experimental work which is going on in the study of better methods of grow- ing hardwoods in Southern On- tario, and the possibility of larg- er exemptions from taxation on outline of the four and five year courses by principal L. D. Pal- mer. Parents and students must now sit down and decide which cours- es will be best for the student. Registration forms have been given to grade eight students which must be completed and re- turned by March 1. The early registration is required so that courses can be planned for Sep- tember and the proper teachers hired. A statement issued by the min- ister of education was used to outline the new emphasis. The General, Commercial and Technical Courses as divisions of the Secondary Schools have been renamed as Branches: (1) Arts and Science, (2) Business and Commerce, (3) Science, Technology and Trades. A shift in emphasis has been suggested whereby the more capable pupils from all three Branches of a Secondary School, after a Five- Year Programme ending in a common Grade 13, will be en- couraged to proceed to higher education.

A fine of $15 was levied against Francis Arsenault of London fol- lowing his plea of guilty to a charge of failing to yield the right of way. Evidence indicated the accused was leaving Dash- wood Planing Mill near Highway Number 4 and failed to see a car coming from the south, A Staffa driver charged with travelling 80 mph in a 60 mph zone was fined $20 and costs.

There were no objections from the parents when asked their feelings on this matter by the board. Mr. Burrows sug- gested that the department would probably agree to using the build- ing for this purpose. Delegates indicated they felt they have just as much right to have a kindergarten in Usborne as do the residents of Hay and Stephen who have kindergarten in those townships. In closing they promised the board that if they do not get this established this year the delegation would be back again next year with the same request.

The Field Officer indicated that an organization meeting for regional maple syrup producers would be held Thursday, February 24 at the new Hydro Building on Well- ington Rd. S. in London, begin- ning at 10:00 am. Mr. Corbett advised the meet. ing of the results of a meeting at Althouse College on February 16 to discuss outdoor education in southwestern Ontario. He ex- plained the development of the Camp Sylvan experiment and in- dicated that further expansion of activities in this regard would possibly occur on a regional level and take the form of a year- round permanent outdoor educa- tion facility. However, in the foreseeable future, the Authority will continue to operate out of Camp Sylvan. The Field Officer supported Mr. Corbett's report by com- menting on the research paper circulated by the Cur ricu lu m Committee and showing slides of a recent inspection trip of out- door education facilities in Michigan. He suggested that there was a need 'for increased public information about what the Auth- ority is doing in the field of camp schools. Also, educators should be encouraged to visit the camp in greater numbers. The chairman of this commit- tee reported on the Ontario Muni- cipal Board hearing February 10 in connection with expropriation of the Foster Pepper property. He also reported on various other properties, stating that the work- shop is being moved to the Ken MacGregor property, the •Tim- merman's house is being made ready for occupancy, and a new well casing has been installed at the Pepper property. He paid tribute to the efforts of the super- intendent and staff in effecting these repairs. Mr. Stephen ans- wered questions from the floor regarding the policy of the Land Acquisition Committee. Mr. lama indicated that he wished to be replaced on the Land. Acquisition Committee. C. Cor- bett and L. Hay were nominated to fill this position.
