The Association's Council representative, Mil. Helesic, attended a leadership confer- ence in London on March 29th and was most enthusiastic about, the projects under discussion. She felt it viould be pxo fitable for more members to attend these meetings. Jack Kopas introduced the guest speaker, Robert Ritter vice-principal of the F. E. Ma- dill Secondary School. Mr. Rit- ter joined the Wingham school staff 1'1 years ago as a teacher of English and Geography and was appointed vice-principal in 1959. He was described as a teacher°who is vitally interestid in the development of the whole person. mentally, spiritually and physically. Mr. Ritter asked the question,. "What is counselling?" and an- swered that ideally it is a re- lationship based on the assump- tion that some discussion of the matter will be helpful. Usual- ly, he said, the counsellor is in a much better position to advise a course of action than, a parent, but sometimes a student tunes a directorout, just as he does a parent., Unless a student takes an interest himself, no progress can be made. The counsellor must be sharply conscious of the needs of the pupil and the ulti- mate, goal is to help the pupil make his own decision. The speaker said there is a great need- for ,counselling in public school and should start early in the pupil's school life. Mr. Ritter said that the role of the counsellor in public school should be that of a co-ordinator whose task would be to help new. teachers, assist in the selection and placement of children in classes and assist parents in the guidance they offer their young- sters. Mr. Ritter dealt with the courses 'which are now av ail - able: it - able: the five-year courses in arts and science, business and coke, science, technol- ogy and Stades. The ur* year prop= fits the student for further training in the business woldd. A lively question period followed Mr. Ritter's address. Mrs. K. Wood thanked the, speaker for hie talk, mention- ing that 1t was of particular value to the parents. of pupils in grade 8.
