SCHOOL BOARD LIBRARY—Four students are working this summer on a library for all
school board records prior to the formation to the Huron County Board of Education. They
have found some interesting information while working. From left, Marianne Frayne,
Randy Potter, Liz Armstrong and Darlene Carnochan look at an equipment catalogue for
Goderich, 1954.
This summer job is not boring
When you start going through
old notes and articles, it is sur-
prising what information you can
come across. Fouad'' students,
under an Experience '77 program
are in the process of sifting
through old school board mate-
rial and making a library with it.
They have found such interest-
ing facts as: in 1898 the average
salary of a teacher was $600 and
many teachers were 18 and 19
years of age. The job sure isn't
boring and the four students all
seem enthusiastic with what they
are doing.
Working for the summer at this
project are Darlene Carnochan,
RR 4, Seaforth, co-ordinator;
Marianne Frayne of RR 3, Gode-
rich, Randy Potter of Clinton and
Liz Armstrong, RR 4, Wingham.
Miss Carnochan was hired by
the board a month previous to the
others and she assisted in hiring
the others from 25 applications.
,,She,: as completed one year at
tario in a general arts. program, I m
mation. Many of the articles col-
lected are from schools that don't
exist anymore. Secretaries have
brought things in to them as well.
Some information dates back to
1850.
Some of the papers they have
include school board minutes.
One item in particular interested
Mr. Potter. A teacher had disci-
plined a student by some means,
apparently not approved by the
board. It was not mentioned
exactly what the , teacher had
done but it was decried that she
could only use a taws — which is
actually a little whip. The end is
cut‘ into three. pieces of leather
and knotted.
Mr. Potter wondered if this was
a means of punishment approved
by the board, then what had the
teacher originally done to the stu-
dent?
Teacher applications' and
qualifications interested the stu-
dents as well. The first question
on an application concerned reli-
gion and all the teachers had dif-
ferent certificates for .qualifica-
tion.
They also found an album
which was presented to a Wing -
ham Public School teacher who
retired in 1940 after 50 years of
teaching. In the ,album were the
signatures of almost every pupil
she had taught.
When the students have com-
pleted their project, Huron Coun-
ty will have a well organized re:
ference file on all school matters
prior to the formation 'of the.
Huron County Board of Educa-
tion.

Alpha -Huron
hears speaker
on blindness
Blind people are not blessed
with -..a keener sense of hearing,
touch or smell than the sighted.
"This is an old wives' tale," said
Wally Kennedy, district admini- '
strator of the Canadian National
Institute, for .the Blind, London
branch, He said the reason for the
belief is that blind people are
more dependent on these senses
they try harder.
Wally, • blind from 'birth, ad-
dressed a recent meeting of

Public School. He said blind peo-
e have the same needs, desires,

lie was especially, proud of a
ung man who lately received
engineering degree at a local
iversity and is now employed
th an engineering firm.
The CNIB helps all who come to
it seeking guidance or help. To
• put its :beliefs into practice, it
never hires a sighted person, if a
lind one can do the job.
Wally's talk was preceded by a
short film strip depicting types
of blindness.
A display table held such gad-
gets as a collapsible white cane,
dominoes, playing cards, talking
calculator and one of the newer
electronic devices, an opticon,
which allows the blind to read a
book with ordinary printing.
Elaine Townshend thanked Mr.
Kennedy and presented him with
a $25 cheque for the CNIB.
