The board gave unanimous consent to the motion Monthy after learning that ,District news • 44 Indochinese in the Huron County school. system ,. were having problems integrating due to their inability to speak or understand English Phoning made easy ST. MARYS . - Veterinary Puchasing, Ltd, in St. Marys, may be ,the first firm in the province to have installed a special small business telephone system: "° . Developed, by Northern Telecom,the new system - allows amplification of p - phone messages through a built-in speaker for 'a group listening.: A. Person can dial without lifting the receiver, and up, to 12 telephones, including six outside lines, can be accommodated on the system. Sofar, says ' company purchasing manager Brenda Ginty, only about 30 sets have'. been sold. But it ap- pears that the St.'Marysfirm is the first to have one . in- stalled: Mr. Ginty said that' Veterinary Purchasing had to change its phone system. because it needed more than the previous 'four -line system it had been using. Veterinary Purchasing is a nonprofit central pur- chasing company for. shareholder • vets. The ' company expectd to. have sales of about ;9 million in its .current fiscal year. It serves about 242 vets and their associates across Ontario and employs 32 people A lot of people call life "The Survival of the Fittest" You know, a lot of people are : right. Director:. of Education, John Cochrane, said the board faces a. teal problem with the refugee students because they cannot speak or . understand, _;Englis Before " the students can .be fully ' integrated into • the education system, he said, they must be taught English. The major problem is with the 22 secondary students, 20 of which are ' at . Central, Huron Secondary School. in Clinton. Those students are grouped; in one ' class ' and spend most of the -day with a remedial resource teacher, who is now tunable to provide assistance to • students for whom it is intended. Superintendent W.D. Kerswell toki the board ' the - secondary school students have the academic ability but are set back by the language barrier. 'He added that the refugee students cannot even communicate among themselves because of differencesin language. Some do speak French while. others may speak Chinese or Laotian. The situation appears to be a little brighter among the22 refugee students in elementary schools, They are spread out in seven county schools with the largest concentration being in Victoria School, Goderich with eight students and Huron Centennial Public School with six. There are no grants available if additional stag is required to teach. refugee students so the new teacher will be considered part of student services and the salary will not be added to a school budget. The board also hopes some assistance . can be provided by adult volunteers. The expense of thead- ditional teacher may fall beck on the taxpayer but director Cochrane said thatrim eettonadtheconmittmn assist refugees and therefore will have to bear additional. educationcosts.
