French grogram continued
by Ross Haugh •
The Huron County board of
education agreed Monday
afternoon to continue French
instruction in grades three to
eight.
A committee was
established in November to
examine the program of
French instruction at the
elementary school level. The
committee consisted of all
members of the Education
committee, two teachers
each from elementary and
secondary schools, two
elementary school principals
and two superintendents.
The committee received a
number of presentations
• suggesting the program begin
with children of a younger
age. Economic con-
siderations and the priority
for English instruction made
it impossible for the com-
mittee to extend the program
at this time. •
The committee also con-
sidered the feasibility and
desirability of making the
subject optional at grade
seven and eight but felt this
would not be in the best in-
terest of the student or the
system.
The committee also
recommended that: A Huron
County French guideline be
developed for the elementary
and secondary schools: A co-
ordinator of French for Huron
County be appointed when
possible; Provisions be made
for elementary French
teachers to meet at least once
each term; More interaction
be .. developed among
elementary andsecondary
teachers and students;
Principals pay particular
attention to the importance of
recruitment of teachers for
the French program and the
teacher of French be resident
in one school wherever
possible; Teachers of French
develop suggestions and
strategies for improved
working conditions and
discuss these with elemen-
tary school principals; and
opportunities be provided for
studentt of French to test in
real situations what they
have learned in school.
Further consideration
shouted be given to acquain=
tingthe community with the
opportunities which
knowledge in French affords
and language department
heads and teasers of French
take the initiative to develop
courses which could be
designated as Canadian
Studies.
Examination and
assessment of the French
program by conducted on a
continuous basis.

Superintendent R.B. Allan
said the recommendations
were reasonably self ex-
planatory. He added, "It's
still very difficult to recruit
- French teachers."
Trustee Dorothy Wallace
asked if It was possible to
recruit teachers from Quebec

Approve field trips
Three field trips were
approved at Monday's
regular meeting. Two involve
students from Goderich
Collegiate and the other from
Exeter Public School. The
Goderich high school drama
club will be participating in a
competitive drama festival in
Sarnia on March 5 and 6.
Superintendent Jim Coulter
said this is a festival in which
the school has participated
for several years with out-
standing success and it
provides students with ex-
cellent experience and in-
struction from the ad-
judicators.
From May 6 to 10, 45
Goderich Collegiate students
will be travelling to Quebec
City. Superintendent Bob
Allan said the trip is not being
made during the Quebec
W inter Carnival.
Goderich trustee Cayley
Hill suggested parents should
be made aware of all aspects
of the trip and to the extra
money deeded by students.
A three-day trip to Niagara
Falls and Toronto will involve
65 grade eight stddwnts from
Exeter Public School. The
trip is designed to expand the
learning experiences of the
classroom in relationship to
science, history and
geography. This is the fourth
annual trip.
Approve drinking
age rise
The Board supported a
resolution from the Lambton
County board of education
asking the Ontario govern-
ment to raise the minimum
drinking age from 18 to 20
years.
During the discussion.
Cayley Hill asked, "What
does this have to do with -
education. Do we have any
problems."
John Ritter, principal of
F.E. Madill in Wingham was
in attendance and was asked
for his opinion. He said, "We
have a hotel and taverns .in
the area and we do have a
problem with students going
there at noon hours. I
wouldn't want to belittle the
problem. It is getting worse."
His sentiments were echoed
by trustees Dorothy Wallace
of Goderich and Clarence
McDonald of Exeter. Both
said similar problems existed
in their towns.
The board gave permission
to principals of schools in
Clinton and surrounding area
to allow students , to take
home Letters for their parents
to sign in opposition to the
closing of .the Clinton
hospital.
The letters, when signed.
are to be mailed directly to
Premier William Davis or
dropped off at any Clinton
doctor's office, the Clinton
town hall or Clinton hospital.
