That was th message from Bill Black, principal of Blyth public School to the elementary school teachers of Huron County. Black who has been doing post-graduate work in moral education spoke to the teach- ers during a, professional development day meeting Friday at South Huron Dist- rict High School. Parents from each school, some teachers from separate schools, and teachers from SHDHS were invited to attend the seminars on morals and values, along with the county's elementary school teachers. Paul Carroll, principal at Seaforth Public • School explained that at present Huron County has no guide- lines for moral education set down on paper,. nor any curriculum in this area. Moral education was chosen as a subject for the pro- fessional day because it is timely, according to Carroll. "The topic is really relevant locally," he said. Black explained that even though moral education is not scheduled on time tables, it is taught through the teacher's actions. For example, he said that if a child is slow coming in from recess, he is told to speed up. This teaches the child punctuality. Black said that children learn moral values when they are punished for using foul language, or making racial remarks. Another difficulty in teach- ing moral education is decid- ing whose values are right, said Black. • Parents and teachers do not always hold the same value system. Representatives from boards of education in Lon- don and Hamilton also OPP busy with 40 investigations During the week, officers at Wingham detachment conducted forty investigations.

The tree was struck with lightning once before but didn't damage the tree to this extent. (Brussels Post Photo) WEDDING INVITATIONS THE HURON EXPOSITOR PHONE 527-0240 SEAFORTH attended the meetings. These cities have developed guidelines for moral edu- cation, and were presenting their ideas to Huron County. Representatives from the 24 schools in Huron County will evaluate the professional development day, and decisions as to whether or not Huron county teachers should do more work in moral education will be made. Superintendent for edu- cation in Huron County, Jim Coulter, says that Huron county elementary school teachers have seven profes- sional development days dur- ing the school year. This is one of the lowest numbers of P.D. days in the area, and the board has not received any complaints from parents about the number of days off.
