BY DEBBIE RANNEY Education in Ontario is as good as any he's seen in the world, according to Doug McAndless, president of the Ontario Public School Men Teacher's Federation. Mr. McAndless made the comment in an interview at the Wingham Public School on Wednesday as he toured some of the schools in Huron County. Mr. McAndless said he was doing the tour, an interview at CKNX in Wing- ham and trips to Wingham, Brookside, Colbourne Cent- ral, Robertson Memorial and Vanastra schools, because he was hoping to advance the cause of teacher advocacy to HARMON DEVRIES Harmon Devries of Brussels died in Listowel Hospital on Sunday, February 22nd, 1981. He was in his 75th year. Mr. and Mrs. Devries emigrated from Holland to Canada in 1952, settling in Innerkip, later moving to Woodstock where they lived until coming to Grey Township in 1958 where they farmed until retiring to Brussels in 1979. Surviving are his wife, Jane Devries 'of Brussels; daughters ' Ann Overholt, Alice Triebner and Shirley Hutchinson, all of Woodstock; sons Pete of Burgessville, John of Innerkip and Allan of Ingersoll; also ten grand- children. He was predeceased by three brothers and two sisters, all of Holland. The late Mr. Devries was an adherent of Brussels United Church. He was, an active member of the Brussels Lawn Bowling Club. He rested at the Brussels Chapel of the M.L. Watts Funeral Home where funeral and committal service was held at 1:30 p.m. with Rev. E. LeDrew officiating. Cremation followed. ROBERT H. JACKLIN Robert Harvey Jacklin died in Huronview, Clinton on Saturday, February 21 in his 613th year. Surviving are a sister Katherine (Mrs. Jack. Foster) of Australia and several nieces and nephews. He Was predeceased by three brothers, Carl, Richard and some extent. He also spoke to the district membership in Clinton on Wednesday night. He tries to make six or eight of these tours a month. Mr. McAndless is a teaching principal from London, cur- rently on a leave of absence. "I've seen some tremen- dously exciting things going on in the schools, making the learning process pretty chal- lenging," he said, citing a school in Moose Factory where most of the students are Cree and publish their own weekly newspaper in the Cree language. He said children are,taught their own native skills such as trapping as well as learning how to cope in modern society. Harold. The ' body was at the Brussels chapel of the M.L. Watts Funeral Home where funeral services were held Wednesday, February 25 at 2 p.m. Temporary entombment is 'in the He said cutbacks in pro- vincial funding had, hurt services to some extent. LOCAL TAXPAYERS "It's certainly hurt the local taxpayers in the pock- etbook," he said. "We never had the small classes, elaborate equipment and facilities so when the money wasn't there we just went without it," he said, but added that eventually equipment breaks down. "1 think it's essential that the province return to a minimum of 60 per cent of funding," he said adding that is something the Feder- ation would like members to ask election candidates about. Asked whether Home and School Associations could not help out with some of this funding, Mr. McAndless said he though the Home and School Associations have a function to provide extras, things such as playground equipment. "I think there's a basic set of needs and equipment that have to be approved by the Board. I've been disappoint- ed by the decline of guidance counsellors in the public school. I can see a good number of guidance coun- sellors di sappearing. He said counselling stu- dents now usually falls to the vice-principal who has a lot of other duties and doesn't have a lot of time to give. "That's false economy really," he said. A recent letter sent by Minister of Education Bette Brussels Cemetery Chapel. Rev. Dan Sargent of St. John's Anglican Church officiated. Pallbearers were Bob and Tom Jacklin, Ross Patterson, Emerson Mitchell, Lloyd Wheeler and Mack Cardiff. Stephenson to the chairmen of boards of education re- garding corporal punishment and tonching children physi- cally concerned him. The big thing wasn't whether or not they agreed with corporal punishment Mr. McAndless said but the fact that the Minister had written to the Chairman of the Board and had not communicated with the Fed- erations or the Home and School Associations. "Our basic position is that this sort of thing is an issue between parents and teach- ers.'' The fact that his tour was taking place close to the March 19 election may have been just a co-incidence but Mr. McAndless said he made no bones about the fact that anyone who would remove teachers' right to strike should not be supported. "I don't feel we have ' abused the right to strike," he said adding he didn't think Liberal leader Dr. Stan rt Smith's proposed mandatory arbitration was a solution to the problems to negotiations that have gone amok. The fact that there arc both a men's and a women's federation at the elementary level remains a mystery, but Mr. McAndless said his group's had a policy of 20 years that they join. So far the Federation of Women Teachers of Ontario has rejected amalgamation. He said he thiought the women teachers' affirmative action program was taking a negative approach. He fa- vours an equal opportunity program instead. The president favours the promotiontof the most quali- fied person - man or woman and has no objections to women taking the higher jobs of principal or vice- principal if they're the best qualified applicants.
