The Workshop is an attempt to pro.: vide an Opportunity to discuss the new problems and to ex- change information which may, be valuable and timely. The speaker for, the occasion, Tars -G.

One of these is the prob- lem of continuing to keep all Grade Xll-ft classes across the provinceatan equivalent level in standards.

Chairman liattim, reeve of East Wawanpsh be ' lieves it is a "good idea which will bring us Up tO standard with the Ontario assessment commission".
