Sister Mary said "as educators it is our responsibility to consider the total development of the child, meeting his deep emotional needs as well as providing for social, spiritual, emotional and intellectual development." She said since humans have no built-in knowledge of how to solve problems' of family living this information must be acquired.

She noted favourable reports have come in on the content of the present program from parents, teachers and pupils. In November the Family Life committee will present a report to the board, Sister Mary said. Recommendations proposed by Sister Mary are: That the Family Life Program run from Sep- tember to June. That we follow the specific religion program, that the family life program was not intended to replace it. That the topics from the Family Life program be more interwoven with the present guidance and health programs and outline of these be prepared for use, That the topics from Family Life, Guidance and Health form one integrated course which in- corporates these. That some reference material be made available. Sister Mary said the problem related to the program was the lack of a co-ordinator.
