WASHROOM ETIQUETTE

(By, S. Nichol)
All the youngsters are back

the past weeks. What a busy

office has been.

provincial capital. When this
happens the child will have out-

phically, Scarborough is larger
than Toronto, York, East York,
Leaside, Weston, Swansea and.
Forest Hill, combined.
Actually, rolling farmlands
still comprise more than half
of Scarborough's 69 square
miles. Ten years ago over 90%
of Scarborough's land area was
rural, but residential develop-
ment has continued apace, eat-
ing through the heartlands of
the Township and on into the
vast north and east sections,
which are still under the
plough.
We at the Education Office
gauge Scarborough's growth by

dren which ,concerns us. Over
six thousand shining new faces

Tuesday to embark on their
educational careers. Think of
it, six thousand new reasons
why o'er jobs are important.
Oh, yes, the.. Board pays us a
nominal consideration to cover
our living expenses, but that's
nothing to get enthused about.
It is when we see six thousand
sets of new parents placing
their tender lambs in our care
and oversight that we snap to
attention.- It is then that we
realize our responsibility, ac-
cept the challenge before us,
• and know that our tasks are in-
finitely worthwhile. ' -„ How I pity those who work
for dollars and cents• alone.
What boredom, What drudgery,
what utter misery it is to be

One thing I remember about
those early days, (and probably
should have forgotten), was the
difficulty experienced by the
monitor in collecting the week-
ly offerings. Usually the larg-
est and strongest boy in the
class was chosen for this task,
so he could quell the Scotch-
type who 'hated parting with
their gold. There seemed to be
a very high percentage of that
kind in ,our church, but that
was proably to he expected,

It seems that one of the new-

sparkling in his large, dark
eyes, was passing the office of
the principal, on his first day
of school. The principal asked,
"Do you know where your teach-
