Basic Dislikefor Work of Any Kind Foi The 'part played by the Sec- . sallii*MkgbaolltAgUSW1-11.0,1t was the subject of an address i , .. . by Principal 0. L. Day, of GDCI, at the Lions Club- on Thursday evening. He ,,prefaced his talk by pointing out that views ex- pressed were his personal ones and not necessarily those of either the GDOI Board nor the teaching staff. IGIDOI supplemented bhe activ- ities of pulblic and separate schools in the following three ways, he stated: U1.. Correlation of courses at the elementary level so that students :entering the secondary school would have a shriller background (e.g. science courses in grades 7, 8 9 and 10 at present 'being coat related); 2. • Su}pplying inform- ation to parents of 'elementary school students to ;help them make a thoughtlful choice of a course on entering secondary school because thestudent is too young to .make a choice without parental counselling; 3. ',Many • students are choosing French, 'instead of business practice, despite the fact that their elementary sdhool records indicate little chance of fh•eir success in that subject. . "We hope to overcome this difficulty by speaking to parent groups in the spring in the public schools of this area," Mr: Day -sts'ted.--.... Plans are for the •provision -of courses to meet the breadth of 'the student's interests and abil- ities. "We have to change our courses to •cape with 'the type of students entering grade nine today who some years ago •would never have secured their , en- trance certificates," Mr. Day said. • Among' future possibilities at GDCI is a full three yehr com- orae- tudentFailing Is, X4. faw Guides and 'B ownies' i`- ri arse which ,is wally four members of the staff. ,�, . � �, .. total' �... ,. vso4' T/�.Ct� hrex� , the.' ��U�tzrd I tkE.`1Z.�aS�d� �.sw e�,�r' Mrs. Ormnrh,a Heads Assoc: KEEP ,RURAL.

We will always attempt to give any .emiployer a correct evaluation of any student seek- ing employment because a suc- cessful placement is the school's best possible advertisement, said Mr. Day. Provision for an extra cur- ricular program in the school is' important to sustain student in- terest, add to 'the school spirit and provide the students with an opportunity for leadership, said Mr. Day. "The role of the secondary school is to .provide the best possible education for •the stud- ents 'it its arena," said :M!r. Davy. "'It is the best investment a community can make. Students from this area have to -compete (GOO s present enrolment is 860). 'Another is for the 'provis- ion of an extra option in grades X1 and XII. In the future, a limited vasa- ttonal course could be offered to grades IX and X, he said. This 'would be an at rpt to train the terminal student in a employable skill.
