An open house was held to .-emember the Christian School Educational Foun- dation and especially its newly formed Canadian counterpart, the "Canada Christian Foundation." Approximately 860 has been collected so far to be sent to the latter organization sn that they can research and produce distinctly Canadian and distinctly Christian textbooks on all areas of the curriculum. The Foundation has in the past supported work done by the National Union of Christian Schools with the result that they already have a number of literature, texts for the junior high and high school levels. These are the "Pilot Series" and the "Touchstone Series" . The NUCS has also produced texts and reference materials in the area of Bible study. history. church, history. geography and music. Parents had a chance to watch all of those areas being taught as they came in large numbers to visit the school between 9:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. Refreshments were available during the recess and noon .breaks and the school generally displayed an aura of excitement that only the presence of so many visitors could produce. By all reports, the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all who came. The school officials were happy to see that the parents of the children in this school not only faithfully support it but in the true tradition upon which this parental school is based. the parents also continue to make themselves aware of what and how their children are being taught. They can only encourage all parents in this tradition. Children are a parental responsibility. Be aware of your school. Don't close your eyes to what is happening.
