Sponsored by the Optimist Club of Brussels
a core of required subjects, the
province is looking for ways to
improve measurement and test-
ing of student achievement and
its reporting to parents."
The Huron board has been
pushing for some time for many
of the recent changes but Mr.
Turkheim said he does not want a
return' to the education system
that existed before the 1960's.
"Mr Wells is not in full-scale
retreat from education reform - he
is simply recognizing that the
experiment in totally permissive
education did not work," he said.
"There has been no suggestion of
a return to former ironbound,
unimaginative teaching . and
grinding province-wide exams."
Mr. Turkheim said the big
tasks this year will be spending
$217,000 on renovations to the
- Exeter public school, approved by
province last year, and the
opening of a new school in the old
public. school building in
Vanastra.

Turkheim heads B of E again
• Huron County .Board of Educa-
tion trustees, five of them new,
chose Herb Turkheim of Zurich as
chairman for a second term at
their inaugural meeting in Clinton
Monday. He was unapposed.
But eight-year trustee Marian
Zinn was picked as board vice-
chairman over John Elliott, serv-
ing his second term as represent-
ative of the Blyth area. Alec
Corrigan was also nominated, but
withdrew before the vote.
E.C. Hill of Goderich was
acclaimed chairman I the
education committee. John
Henderson is vice-chairman.
J.P. Alexander was unopposed
as chairman of the management
committee. Alec Corrigan is
vice-chairman.
Clarence McDonald was named
to the chairman's advisory
committee - the board's executive
committee made up of committee
chairmen and a member-at-large.
Mr. Turkheim said the board
weathered one of its toughest
years in 1976 but prospescts for
the future are improved.
"A year ago when I was elected
chairman of this board we warned
the trustees of an extremely
difficult time ahead of us due to
new grant regulations and
prearranged salary contracts
which were going to cost the
taxpayers of Huron a great deal of
money," Mr. Turkheim said.
"We termed 1976 as a 'year of
restraint.' But we managed to get
through the year - thanks to a
conscientious budget committee
with the assistance of the admin-
istration and the people in our
schools. It was a difficult year -
but we struggled through it
without hurting anyone too
seriously.''
Grant regulations for 1977 have
not been studied closely yet, he
said, but the financial situation
could be better since there will
not be a large jump in teachers'
salaries. He hoped the budget
would stay at $18 million.
Last year the teachers were
given almost 30 percent increases
to allow them to catch up to other
boards, Mr. Turkheim said. This
year they were held to 'the anti-
inflation board guidelines.
"Acknowledging that free
choice in subjects, lack of
measurable standards and lack of
aprovince-wide curriculum had
put the school system in a mess,
Education Minister Tom Wells
has retrenched. Besides restoring
