20 — THE:BRUSSELS POST, MAY 16, 1979
Henderson asks about field trips
The Huron County Board of Education
approved 20 field trips for elementary and
secondary school students Monday but
served notice that in the future it plans to
take a "tougher look" at student excursions
in the future.
Wingham trustee Bert Morin wrapped up
a 20 minute debate on the field trips telling
the board there was little could be done abou
field trips already planned but a lot that
could be done about the future.
Morin said a good percentage of the trips
taken 'by teachers and students were ones
that students should be taking with their
parents or with groups such as scouts or
guides.
The trustee was referring to the overnight
camping trips planned by several of the
sehools.He said some trips taken by students
through the school could not be taken
anywhere else but others, such as the
camping ventures, could be taken with
families or scouts and guides.
"I often wonder if we (the board) are not
usurping the duties of the family or the
scouts and guides on these camping trips,"
he said.
He told the board that if the students were
to benefit a great deal from the trips and
teachers were that "keen" to have the
students go he was sure the teachers and
students Would be accepted by the scouts
and guides.
Morin's comments came at the tail end of
a discussion started by Seaforth trustee John
Henderson.
Henderson singled out a trip to Quebec
City planned by Seaforth District High
School. A Grade 10 history class of 42
students is off to the city for four days
beginning May 23. The purpose of the trip
according to the application for board
approval is to allow students to see areas
studies in class and to allow students to
complete an assignment designed to deepen
their knowledge of English-French relations.
Henderson said he had looked at the field
trip and could fine nothing "beneficial" to
the students. He said the trip was very
expensive and out of the four days the
students would be gone, about half a day
was worthwhile.
Three teachers are to accompany the
students on the trip which is estimated to
cost $4,500. Superintendent of education
Don Kenwell told the board that included in
that cost was rail fare, lodging for two nights
and tickets to two of the functions the
students will attend.
Henderson told the board that the $100
paid by each student was half the cost of the
trip, He said by the time. students paid for
their food, paid for entrance to museums and
other attractions and paid for small
incidentals it would cost another $100.
The Seaforth trustee said he didn't think
it was fair for the board and teachers to be
approving such graniose trips without some
parental input. He said that was a hefty bill
for some parents to pay.
He added that all the students get for their
money the first two days was a ride on a train
an a ticket to "watch the Expos play". He
said the next day will be spent on a bus
going to Quebec City.
Kenwell outlined the itinerary of the
students. The first day will be a rail' trip to
Montreal where they will attend an Expos
baseball game. The next day the studens will
be travelling by bus to Quebec City in the
Morris won't sever
morning and touring the Parliament
Buildings and the National Assembly in the
afternoon. The next day will include a tour of
the city to such sites as the Plains of
Abraham, the Citadel and an electronic
display showing the six seiges of the city.
The next day the students will be taken on a
walking tour of the city and then will come
home.
Zurich trustee Herb Turkheim suggested
that the trip gave the students too much free
time. He asked the board what had been
the final judgement for six students sent
home from a class field trip of Exeter high
school students that went to Ottawa.
He said he understood parents were a
little upset in that town after half a dozen
students "Got loose" on a field trip to the
nation's capital and went in a liquor store to
stock up. He said the teachers supervising
that trip sent the students home early.
Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace
The Brussels Agricultural
Society has decided to hire
the Ben Hur Racing
association to come and put
on a program on Sunday,
June 24 at the Brussels
fairgrounds.
• At the regular meeting of
the Society which was held
last Tuesday it was also
decided to talk to other area
defended the field trip telling the board the
only way one can "get to know Quebec City
is on a walking tour".
Henderson said one of the concerns he
had about the Seaforth trip is the ratio of
teachers and students. He said when the trip
was originally proposed and parents asked
for approval there were four teachers
accompanying the 42 students. He said that
number has been reduced by one since
parental approval was given.
"You want to go on a walking tour some
time with a bunch of students, and see how
far you get," said the Seaforth trustee.
"I suppose with three teachers and 42
students somebody's going to get loose,"
said board chairman John Elliott.
"About 39", quipped Henderson.
Elliott said he could see the time coming
when overnight trips or excursions going
great distances were going to have to be
terminated.

and benefitted If 44tPletch the most.
Mr. Davidson had pointed out that some time in the future a
lawyer transferring the title of one of the Pletch subdivision lots
might question the public good of council's move to server lots itself
and of selling the lots back to Mr. Pletch.
A municipality may subdivide or sever its own land without going
through the land division committee but council decided it was
better to have 15 unquestionable deeds and have Mr. Pletch go
through the county land division committee than it was to save Mr.
Pletch several hundred dollars in severance fees.
