In addition to this advantage, Mr. Jewitt
says it is proven that languages are learned
easier by children -at earlier ages.
Another concern addressed by trustees
was the crowded school curriculum, and
they asked what other courses would suffer
as a result of increased French language in-
struction. However, the curriculum is
busiest in the senior grades, and trustees
felt French instruction could be increased in
primary grades withotit other classes suf-
fering overly.
In terms of the , provincial average,
Southwestern Ontario is on the lower end of
the French Instruction scale. And according
to Mr. Jewitt Huron County has been on the
low end of the French Instruction Scale in
Southwestern Ontario, so this was another
of the trustees' considerations.
"We have to have our young people ready
to compete with people from ,all over the
province," says Mr. Jewitt.
In January of 1988 the Board dealt with
the issue of French language instruction,

unanimously in 1989.
"We have no idea how hard it's going to be
to recruit teachers," says Mr. Jewitt The
Chairman added it could take anywhere
from two to four years to find the additional
instructors needed to live up to the Board's
"commitment to strengthen the core
French program."
