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- Free-Wheeling Approach To Curriculum Is Needed 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.
