Criticism is healthy and
stimulating, if it is based on
factual observation (in other

shooting). It is welcomed by
everyone in, , public life, as it
makes us look at issues from all

therefore, adds to our

However, finding .faults .without
doing one's homework by
becoming properly informed
about procedu'res, finances,
overall planning, etc., makes no
constructive progress, towards
improving this or any other

other students in the school
system. They will, he said, .have
the ,opportunity to. attend school
full time from age five. until 21,,
dependent upon their capabilik,,,'
' to profit from the school
experience,
Under existing legislation,
trainable it- aided students
under 10 years of age may only
attend'school for half a day and,
all must leave the system at age
18,
Responsibility for deciding if
',minable retarded students will
attend full time will rest with
admission boards that now work
in co-operation with school
boards on matters dealing with,
Minable retarded students.

' extends to all students re
