Jones. ,Study cor, BY JASON AINSLIE The issue of corporal punishment surfaced once again at this year's . last regular meeting of the Huron County Board of Education on June 4, when the board received a letter from Bette Stevenson, Ontario's Minister of Education. "I regret that The Huron County Board of Education does not support the suggested amendment to the Education Act," Dr. Stevenson's office wrote, "since the rationale for abolishing corporal punish- ment...is quite compelling." The letter continues: "The intention of the amendment Four new books okayed by brd. of ed. The Huron County Board of Education has approved the use of four books for English courses in two of the county's five secondary schools. Dandelion Wine,. Signatures: Poems of Canada Two, and Sunlight And Shadows will be added to the English curriculum at Central Huron Secondary School, and Early Sep- tember will be added to the grade 10, four-year English course at F.E. Madill Secondary School. Forms completed by the schools' principals and English department heads indicated there is nothing controversial about the books, which deal primarily with themes of human nature, maturity and Canadian culture. oral punishment is to prevent the use of physical force as punish- ment. The reason why the wording 'physical force' was used rather than 'corporal punishment' is that corporal punishment is generally thought to mean the strap." "The amendment is in- tended not only to abolish the strap, but to prevent such practices as hair pulling and arm twisting as well. This does not mean, however, thata teacher would not be able to restrain a child physically' to prevent him from harming himself or another person." Dr. Stevenson expressed that there is disagreement with the Huron board's argument "that the use of physical force in schools should be a matter for the local board to decide". The Minister of Education said, "Although there are many issues in education which can and should be varied according to the unique needs and concerns of local jurisdictions, there are serious doubts whether -the nature of disciplinary action to be used on children should be one of them." In another piece of correspondence to the board, W.J. Phillips, the executive assistant of the Ontario Public School Trustees ° Association, wrote to inform the board of the association's support of the board's view regarding corporal punish- ment. The letter read, in part, "We wish to inform you that the OPSTA Board of Directors, at their April 4, 1981 meeting, decided not to support the recom- mendations of the Minister of Education re corporal punishment, and that this matter should be left to the decision of the local school board." Object to levy In a letter to the Huron Board of Education dated April 28, the Grey Township Council passed a motion, objecting to the proposed four -times -per -year collection of school levies. The motion was passed in special session of the.council and the letter asked that the motion be recorded as an objection to the proposal of a quarterly levy.
