A reference work assures us
that sorghum yields edible oil,

.bevx'ages", but champagne is
made from grapes.
Anyway, LeTouzel men-
tioned syrup r 'nd cider. In his
advertlsemenf he listed "a
large number of barrels,
bottles, ctind,about 750 gallons of
cider ready for bottling, also
1,000 gallons of vinegar.'
The advertisement provides
no clue as to the volume of
LeTouzel's Traffic in 'the
products of s'orghum--whether
customers `beat a path to his
door or had the convenience of
delivery. In-a-rry case, his. trade
evidently was not profitable.
He states in his advertisement
that"the proprietor's only
readon for selling is that he has
not the capital to carry out his
views".

commercially in Huron now,
though there may be some
mixed corn. Ag. Rep. Pullen
noticed some along Highway 8
near Stratford. The stalks grow
from two to°eight feet. Stalks

waxy bloom, and the pith of
certain varieties is juicy and
sweet. The grain ,is usually
ground into a meal suitable for
porridge or cakes.) -

Children misbehave as
result of anxiety says
HPSS speaker
By Wilma Oke
"Misbehaviour is a 'sym-
ptom not a cause", Dr:
Anthony Miller, Chief
Psychologist at the Goderich
Psychiatric' Hospital told a
group of teachers attending a
workshop on- Discipline
during the professional
development day held by the
Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School
Board at St. Patrick's School
in Dublin a
He said children do not
behave badly because they
have an evil spirit in them but
because they are anxious and
insecure. As they become
more anxious and insecure
they become more un-"
,disciplined, he continued.
Dr. Miller, in listing some
of the causes for
misbehavidu'r,'said one might
be the social 'system within a
class. He said in the social
system it is unnatural for a
large group to get together
but it* is natural for a small
group of six or seven to get
together. He stated some
teachers try to break up a
natural group in a classroom-
-those four at the back of the
room. He said a good teacher
recognizes a natural grouping.
and puts it to use ad-
vantageously.
Dr. M' ler spoke of the
teacher being the source of
insecurity and anxiety by
giving an assignment that is
too difficult. He outlined how
teacher's personal problems
can be the cause when stter
will send otfl signals through,
the classroom. He advised
the teacher to be honest and
explain to the pupils: "I've
had a bad morning," and the
children will be able to cope
with the teacher's behaviour.
One, of the causes of 'stress
for a teacher is not having the
tactical knowledge to deal
with a problem such as too
large a size of class, "If .you
feel good about' teaching 20
children, then have 35, you
may not have the tactical
backgroundtocope with 35."
Dr. Miller suggested many
ways of quieting a fidgety
child before behaviour gets
out of hand including the
following techniques of
standing near''pupii,l, ask the
pupil IT help is. needed, hold a
gripe session with class to let
children express their
disturbance and both teacher
and pupils will feel better.
Dr. Miller stated punish-
ment can cause adverse
.conseq'uences unless child
knows there , is a caring
relationship and there has
been a wrongdoing. Punish-
ment will be more effective if
the child knows there is a
consequence of wrong -doing,'
He cautioned against
traditional arbitrary forms of
punishment such as keeping
student after school, doing
useless( repetitive work. He
said h&was opposed to group
punishment when the
disturber could not be singled
out, "Be a detective and find
the offender, punish him but
not the whole class."
Other workshops held for
the 161 teachers in the day-
long session incldded a

the Lord, conducted by Miss
Mary Kennedy and. Miss

Waterloo; and physical
education --an overview of the
key aspects of the physical
education curriculum for
grades 1 to 4, stressing that
the freedom 'of movement is

perience, not just in the gym.
Patricia Doig of Exeter was
the leader ohthis workshop.
Guest speaker at the lun-
cheon held at the Seaforth
Legion Hall in Seaforth was
Rev, Anthony J. Durand of St.
Boniface Church, Zurich.
Father Durand stated the
most) powerful educational
force is always the teacher as
a person. He said if the
education system is Christian
then r the person who must
dominate it is Christ himself.
The teacher's duty is to
impart Christ to the pupil, he
