Mrs. Hazlitt suggested the principals study three questions concerning the program. First, if there is a need for it in Huron, and if there is a need, what type of program would they suggest for schools.

WILLIAMS Most personal self-improvement courses are legitimate, but... you should know what Ontario is doing to help you recognize the few that are not. Teaching people to improve them- selves is big business these days. While such courses and techniques can have a positive influence on your social life and well-being they can also be used to cheat and exploit. Self-improvement courses involving long periods of time and large amounts of money should include a contract for you to sign. Ideally,n the contract is to protect you by setting out the exact money to be paid and the services to be provided. So before signing a contract make sure your interests are protected.
