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. Members of the committee were Mrs. J. Love, R.B. Allan, J.T. Chapman, J.W. Coulter. E.J. Elliott, M. Herrington. E.C. Hill, Mrs. M. Kunder. E. Mansfield. R.K. Peck, B. Robertson. W. Shortreed, . D. Solomon, Mrs. D. Wallace and Mrs. M. Zinn. 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 and superintendent Ralph to the late 1700's. A Hillsgreen at ss ta.. mi fl ... nl4ti�4i"�t'r lli�r.

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.

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.
