(Photo by Ranney) In his charge to the new board of education, Huron County Judge, F.G. Carter told board members that all conflicts must ideally be resolved in favour of the children. Judge Carter presided over the inaugural session of the Huron. County Board of Education Monday and administered the oath of office to the 16 trustees. In his speech to the new 1981-82 board he urged trustees to maintain the interests' of children in all their decisions. "That is the most importa- ant reason for your existence as a trustee. No matter how ornate the schools or dedica- ted the teachers, everything rotates around thechildren," he said. "The board may think they have a responsibil- ity to the ratepayer. That 'is true to some extent but I am of the opinion that any conflict in board affairs must always be resolved in favor of children." , Carter said that economics have forced education into a position similar to that of the depression. "Times are getting tough- er and as a child of the depression I know that there - is no room for frills in educa- tion. We must get hack to basics," he said: "We must get across what is essential so that when students are finished Grade 13 in our system they don't need an. English course to get into university." And while praising the trustees for having the initi- ative to stand for public office, Judge Carter cau- tioned the board not expect praise for the diligent efforts. "There are not many thanks for this job," he said. "Only the self satisfaction you will get for a job well • , done. "Everyone should be com- mended for standing for public office because it means a great sacrifice. But I also think that the spouses of the trustees make . a greater sacrifice that is sel- dom recognized." He told trustees they would face t ough times in the next term and wished i them success in coping with ;the problems: II Phone 887-9284 Brussels VI' For the'rrian in your life...
