"Morals are caught rather
than taught." 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.

Teaching morals is PD Day
topic in Huron County
LIGHTNING NEVER STIKES THE SAME
PLACE TWICE — Well it did in this case, as
Friday night's electrical storm took the bark
right off this tree which is located on the Lewis
Cardiff property. 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.
