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:
