Education
HCBE supports interfaith task force
The Huron County board of education has
agreed to support the position of the
Anglican Church in asking the Ontario
Ministry of Education to establish an inter-
faith task force in the province.
This task force would be charged with the
responsibility to show ways that multi -faith
education could benefit the students in the
public school system.
It is hoped that in this effort to broaden the
curriculum in the public schools, more
students would remain inside the public
school system, rather than enroll in private
schools ourside the public system.
In an unrelated Ontario Public Education
Network brief to Hon. Jack Riddell, these
words were noted: "The publicly funded
and governed Board of Education is respon-
sible to the taxpayers and the full spectrum
of society for its successes and failures in
dealing wtih all segments and strata of
society. For these efforts, the system should
be encouraged and strengthened not
weakened by splintering and the reduction
of funding. We all wish to foster and nurture
diversity and a sense of heritage but this
must be balanced by a sense of unity and
common purpose as a society. In order to
achieve this goal, we must all be brought
together at times so that we can nurture a
sense of tolerance and respect for those of
other religions, races and cultures. It is very
difficult to understand, respect and tolerate
the values of other groups if we never work,
study or play with members of those
groups."
"Private schools teach literacy and many
skills taught in the public education system.
In the academic sense they may be as good
as the public system but because they set
themselves apart from society and declare
themselves different they are saying their
EDUCATION
students are different and somehow better
than students in public schools. This is an at-
titude about which we should careful in a
democracy - careful to see that it does not go
so far as to threaten the basic fabric of
society."
"A publicly -funded, universal education
sysytem is a prime example of the collective
need and will to educate all segments of
society. Those who choose other options
should not be finacially supported by the
majority."
"If they choose to go their own away, to
provide their own facilities, decide on the
qualifications of their instructors and set
their own curriculum, they should not have
a claim on the public purse."
Atlas received
Although Willis L. Murray of Bell Canada
got a bit of a runaround, he was able to pre-
sent a copy of the Historical Atlas of Canada
to each of the high schools in Huron County
at the December meeting of the board.
Director of Education Bob Allen admitted
that until he saw the quality of the books
that Bell Canada was presenting to the
schools, he wasn't sure it was necessary to
take up the board's time with an official
presentation.
"But these books really are first-rate,"
said Allen, "and we certainly are pleased
that Bell Canada has made them available
to us. Thank you."
With the books, came one copy of a video
tape about Canada that can be used in the
classroom as a teaching aid.
Two-way radios
The matter of two.way radios on board
and contract -owned buses is back on the
agenda for the Huron County Board of
Education.
The question was first reviewed over a
year ago, at which time it was decided the
system was much too costly.
The current proposal is much more
economical, the board learned, because it
does not require the board to provide or staff
base stations for the radio system. The con-
tractors have agreed to share this service
and provide coverage for all board -owned
vehicles should the proposal be accepted.
The costs to the board would include iitial
installation of the radio units on approx-
imately 40 vehicles and annual maintenance
and licence costs for all buses serving the
Huron County Board of Education.
It was referred to the 1988 Estimates for
consideration.
AIDS information
The Education Committee has learned
that elementary schools in Huron County
will be holding parent information sessions
about the new AIDS curriculum which is
mandatory in Grades 7 and 8.
The course is also taught as the com-
pulsory physical education credit in the
secondary school. While the course treats
the material in a sensitive manner, a parent
may request to withdraw a son or daughter
from any component of the course on
religious grounds.
The unlimited treaty: God's unbroken promise
BY REV. GERRY D. MCMILLAN,
BETHEL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY
When I was in high school, I enjoyed
drama. It was a privilege taking a Theatre
Arts course and belonging to the Drama
Club. One spring, I had the opportunity of
portraying the, role of the Pied Piper for
children in elementary school. A great
disappointment was not having live rats to
lead out of Hamlin.
This coming week (Wednesday, Dec. 16 to
Friday, Dec. 18) the Young People of Bethel
Pentecostal Assembly (Goderich) will por-
tray the Christmas Story in an outdoor pro-
duction entitled `Bethlehem Live." Under
the direction of Rev. Mark Scarr,
"Bethlehem Live" promises to be an ex-
citing drama utilizing lighting, soundtrack,
fabricated Middle East buildings and live
animals.
Bethel's young people will do their best to
MINISTER'S STUDY
portray an event that took place 2,000 years
ago. Much of today's drama is but mere fic-
tion. But Matthew recorded in- the Holy
Scripture that a Sovereign Go, sent His only
begotton Son to this sinful world.
There should be a thought, a message
behind every good drama. "Bethlehem
Live" conveys the most important message
that the world has ever known. A message
of hope - that truly a Saviour has come to
this cruel world.
This past week we witnessed another
drama, one that may be of historical
significance. The two esteemed leaders of
The Super Powers, Gorbachev and Reagan,
sat down together to sign a treaty limiting
nuclear arms.
Millions of people around the world from
Washington D.C. to Moscow watched the
event. It seemed the world uttered a sigh of
relief that maybe during the Christmas of
1987, a peaceful and secure world is in sight.
History can be such a constructive school
master, yet it can be a cruel reminder of the
failure of man. For, as the leaders signed
this Limited Treaty, one could recall the
thousands of treaties that have been broken.
"Bethlehem Live" conveys the Christmas
Story - How a sovereign God made an un-
broken promise to men by sending His only
begotten Son Jesus Christ -- "That
whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life." (John
3:16)
' c:1m sville UCWholds
