The October meeting took the form of a pot luck supper at Upper Thames Elementary School in Mitchell and the speaker was Susan Berry, who works in Infant Stimulation for, the K -W Habilitation, Services for the Retarded. It is felt that by working with children as infants as soon as the retardation is diagnosed and by training the parents how to carry out stimulat- ing activities, that their ability to learn may be increased. The November meeting was held in Victoria School, Goderich and Dr. David Walker, .G.P..gave an interesting address on "Pre- scribed Drugs and Classroom Performance". This was a timely topic since an increasing number of children are called hyperactive and sometimes it seems as if the only way they can function in a classroom is when taking some medication in the form of prescribed drugs. Great care needs to be taken in theuse of drugs and more research is needed. In December a Saturday Work- shop, Education' Through Music, LUCKNOW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. Wm. Munshaw B.A. M.Div.
