"The board should meet immediately and lay the groundrules, decide on the area to be looked at and get other ands, ifs and buts dealt with." Mr. Fleck supported Mrs. Hazlitt's approach adding that if the board wanted the survey completed this year it would have to meet and decide what area to evaluate. Hesaid the area would have to be decided on by at :least two weeks' time so the staffs of the Schools could be briefed on the program. The first stepthe board will take after designating the area to be studied is to set up an internal evaluation committee: The internal committee will have as wide a representation as possible and will include public and professionals. The committee will undertake a role review involvingteachers, trustees and administration. It will also distribute a questionnaire to the public aimed at gaining some in- sight into the opinions and feelings of people on the quality of education in the system. Program reviews will also be done to determine the value of the curriculum of the schools.

Judge Carter relates history of Goderich Victoria School continued its celebration of Goderich's Tri -Jubilee by inviting Judge Carter to speak to the older pupils. In the library, packed with Grade 5 and 6 students, Judge. Carterspoke of the founding of Goderich. He related the incident which gave Dr Dunlop - the nickname of `TIGER' and added further stories to prove the town's founder was not only brave but tricky, clever and a man who dearly loved fun. The pupils quite ap- preciated this glimpse into the past provided by Judge Carter. Classes have already begun to study the early days of Goderich. Mrs. Sully's Grade 2 class examined the old art of making butter. Using vintage utensils they proceeded to make their own butter following the steps of their forefathers. A special assembly on February 21 'has also been planned for Heritage Day. In it, pupils will be exposed to the history that has created past and present flags and anthems, that are part of the Canadian tradition. Perform a death -defying • aft■ Give Heart Fund.
