Mahon watch as Kristen Crawford (left) tries on a pair of glasses
which show what a diabetic affected with blindness might see. Ms.
Bell, who is blind, explained to the students a number of ways blind
people cope with everyday chores including cookling, reading. The
students also learned the proper manner to assist a blind person
across a street. The day -long session for the Grades 5-8 students at
the school helped dispel a number of myths about blindness. ( Alan

large factories, on the farm, in school of-
fices, restaurants, museums - in short any
place where people work.
For co-op education to work effectively, it
is extremely important to have the com-
munity willing to offer places for students to
gain experience. The school has for years in-
volved students in short periods of work ex-
perience; co-operative education is a great-
ly expanded version of work experience.
George Cull, a member of the planning
group, says, "If you would like to take part
in this program. as an employer, or if you
would like further information please con-
tact the school. Also, there are teachers
available who would be willing to speak to
service clubs or business organizations
about the program."
Mr. Wooden comments, "Co-op education
has been in operation in Ontario high
schools for 10 years or more. Huron County
is new to the concept except for South
Huron's entry into the field this year. We
feel that the benefits provided to the stu-
dent, the school, and the community are so
positive that we are embarking in a fairly
large way for next fall. We are sure from
our very limited contact with employers as
enthusiastically here as business people
have done all over Ontario."
