The Ontario Athletic Leader-
ship Camp at Lake Couchiching,
run by the Department of Edu-
cation, can in no way be call-
ed an ordinary camp. It has a
staff consisting of physical edu-
cation teachers from Ontario
who are specially chosen as
counsellors by the Department.
To attend, the campers are
usually sixteen years old, and
have completed grade eleven.
Each camp session lasts two
weeks and there are four camps
during July and August. Girls
attend in July, while the boys'
camps are held in August.
At camp, each girl obtains
valuable experience in organiz-
ing athletic events, in teaching
specific skills, and in evaluat-
ing the efforts of others as well
as those of herself, The most
important words in the name of
the camp are "Athletic" and
"Leadership". The purpose of
the camp is to develop leader-
ship through the use of athlet-
ics. Leadership receives two-
thirds of the emphasis while
athletics has the other third
placed upon it. However, all
is not work at the camp. Along
with the lesson planning and
evaluating, the campers obtain
fun and enjoyment from the
great variety of activities.
This summer, the core pro-
gram included aquatics, folk
dancing, and basketball of-
ficiating. Each camper was
given the choice of two options
from a list which included gym-
nastics, track and field, bad-
minton, golf, tennis, archery,
and many more.
The basketball course was
comprised of officiating, warm-
up programs, and the basic
The winds of change are
blowing through the education
system of Ontario, and no-
where last week were they blow-
ing more strongly than in the
corridors of Lakehead Univer-
sity on Port Arthur's outskirts,
where nearly 200 Ontario
secondary schools principals
met to review their stand on to-
day's education problems.
The principals, in a four-
day summer conference of the
Ontario Secondary School Head-
masters' Council, came to their
meeting not only prepared to
conduct their own discussion on
the new trends in education,
skills of the game. Aquatics was
divided into the Red Cross and
the Royal Life Saving classes.
In the folk dance classes, the
girls learned many new dances
which may be introduced into
high schools across Ontario this
fall.
The most important aspect
of the camp was the leader
planning sessions which were
held each afternoon. The girls
were in charge of these meet-
ings, and chose their own top-
ics for discussion. The ideas
brought out in these classes were
used in the organization of the
evening programs. These night
activities often included as
many as 96 or 192 girls with
their 18 counsellors. The dis-
cussions at the many sessions in-

but to listen to critical outsid-
ers,
Dr. Brock Chisholm, world
renowned psychiatrist and per-
haps Canada's best known im-
age smasher, told them that the
job of teachers was not only to
teach but to question outmoded
beliefs and tradition -- and to
encourage their pupils to main-
tain the same questioning atti-
tude.
The principals showed their
concern for the need to meet
change when they examined
and passed resolutions approv-
ing study with the Department
of Education on the matters of
a new approach to time-tabl-
ing, and on finding new meth-
ods of measuring final year
students following abolition of
Department-set Grade 13 ex-
aminations, They also exam-
ined the present arbitrary "hor-
izontal" structure of subjects in
each grade, with a view to per-
mitting students to be acceler-
ated across grade lines in sub-
jects in which they were pro-
ficient, while not holding them
back a full grade for doing
poorly in another subject,
In fact, stimulation fotthese
arguments came from higher
authority itself, when J. R. Mc-
Carthy, deputy minister of Un-
iversity Affairs, urged that
there be greater flexibility in
eluded the organization and
problems of athletic associa-
tions, and the setting up of
tournaments. These talks would
enable the girls to return to
their schools and assist with in-
tramural sports programs.
The weeks I spent at Lake
Couchiching were two of the
most rewarding and enjoyable
ones that I have ever known. I
learned how to organize activi-j
ties and I began to realize the
value of objective evaluation of
myself and others. I only wish
that I could return again and
that more high school students
could have the opportunity to
attend the Ontario Athletic Lea-
dership Camp at Lake Couchi-
ching.
curriculum and in standards
necessary to pass through the
system, He suggested that, for
example, a non-graded second-
ary school be established on an
experimental basis. It was "up.
realistic" in today's world, he
added, to expect a large pro-
portion of four-year students to
be proficient in nine subjects at
an arbitrary standard. Pr. Mc-
Carthy questioned the wisdom
of continuing to fail those who
lacked proficiency in, say,
French or Mathematics, when
they might proceed very well
in other subjects suited to their
interests and capabilities.
Ontario's universities, he
pointed out, had become more
flexible in their establishment
of entrance requirements from
secondary school. Now it was
up to the secondary school sys-
tem -- with the leadership of
the headmasters -- to demon-
strate a similar attitude of
flexibility.
Further advocacy of the op-
en mind in respect to education
came from L. M. Johnston, dir-
ector of the Department ofEdu-
cation's Program Branch. He
warned that the "total body of
knowledge on which we will
have to draw for courses.. .will
be enormous and constantly in-
creasing." He added that the
traditional method of memoriz-
ing facts will decline progress-
ively, and "we shall have to
turn more and more to master-
ing fundamental concepts and
principles, and to learning how
to apply them."
This, in turn, he said, will
call for a " free-wheeling ap-
proach" to curriculum, There
would be no place for rigidity
of thought. W.D.H.S. REPORT BY EDITH AUSTIN
