You also get a new ease of handling, convenience and even greater efficiency. That's because - AAtrex Liquid is a liquid suspension with no dust. AAtrex Liquid gives you the un- equalled AAtrex flexibility of applica- tion: pre -plant, pre -emergent, post -emergent And AAtrex Liquid requires only 10 gal/acre for pre - emergent control and 15 gal/acre for post -emergent control. So you can spray more acres per tankful and take less trips to your water source. Plus, you can substitute liquid fertilizer for water during pre - emergent spraying and feed while you weed. Some carry-over may be found where spraying has overlapped, but most crop rotation is unaffected when AAtrex Liquid is used according to label rates for most weeds.

Rather the entire school day makes up the student's curricu- lum. Even during lunch hour and recess the child is in a learning situation. Parents, through their elected representative, decide what will be taught to their children. One of these elected representatives is •the Ministry of Education. fp its curriculum guidelines the department stresses the three- fold task of the school. These tasks are : to. help the child under, stand the nature of the environ- ment in which he lives; to lead the child to choose and accept as his own those ideals of conduct and endeavor that a' C1 ristian and democratic society ap- proves; to assist the pupil to master those abilities that are essential to living in a modern society. One of the trends today is to try and develop the whole person. Mr. Tokar stressed the difference between education and training. Education'should prepare a child to deal with many situations in life . whereas training focuses on only one situation. Education today is geared to meeting the needs of the in- dividual child. In mathematics, reading and spelling, the children are grouped to work at their own level. In our system, special itinerant teachers are assigned to Mrs. Jenkins was native of Morris Twp.

For grades one to six a' global picture is given in social studies. Each child's interest is accommodated by allowing them to pursue that particular phase in which they are most interested. For in- stance, if Mexico is the main topic, some children could ex- plore the area of Mexican cus- toms while others would research the geography of the area. In science the pupils are given a broad knowledge of the earth sciences. It is hoped that in teaching the children in this way that we are educating our youth rather than simply training them.
