Sep, school bd. renews
request for renovation
By Wilma Oke
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board reviewed the five-year
capital expenditure forecast as
requested by the ministry of
education and once more will
submit a request for renovations
at St. Michael's School m Strat-
ford. The renovations are to
provide for home economics,
industrial arts, and a music'
room.
This project was submitted in
1975 and rejected by the ministry
because capital funds were not
' available. In 1976 no forecast was
requested.
As well, the board will be•
requesting approval for $15,000
for . the replacement of one 1970
school bus in its fleet of eight
buses.
Declining enrolments continue
HALLOWE'EN PARTY—Genevieve Kinahan, a teacher at the Wingham Daycare
Centre, led the costumed children around. the circle one by one for others to see and
admire during a I-fallowe'en party there last week. With her is Mark Snelgrove, dressed as
a little clown.
as a concern to this board, as well
as to other boards. Joseph Mills,
superintendent of education, and
Jack Lane, superintendent of
business and finance, attended a
meeting in Toronto of the Com-
mission on Declining Enrolments
Oct. 14.
In their report on the meeting,
they said they were provided with
statistics on the declining .,
numbers in Ontario schools and
across Canada. They :.said the
commission was set tip to . study
the problem and will be taken to
strategic places in the province to
receive briefs from school
of people. This has proved suc-
cessful in the factories and
among other workers and now
the emphasis is on school child-
ren, he said. He added a special
program has been set up for the
schools and explained its value to
the school system. He stated that
the knowledge that children gain
in handling accidents is reflected
in safety habits in the home; that
the first aid skills the student
learns will be of value to that
person throughout his or her life,
and that in many summer posi-
tions, a knowledge of first aid is
necessary or at least helpful.
Mr. McDonald said , that the
eight hour course would be given
to only grade seven and eight
students. It involves training the
teachers first, so they will be able
to instruct their students. He ex-
plained that the Workmen's \`
Compensation Board endorses
the program and will pay for two
teachers from each school to take
the • course. Any extra teachers
taking the course would cost $16
posal for the course be presented
to the principals to find out if
teachers would be interested in
taking the course to teach it to
their grades seven and eight
students The board members
agreed to this suggestion.
The next professional activity
day will be held on November 4.
The meeting was adjourned at
11 p.m. Next meeting November
14.

William Eckert, director of
education, said there was a
decline of 161 students in Huron
and Perth .separate schools, as
had been projected, and that next
year they are projecting a decline
of 180 students. He said class-
rooms cannot be closed accord- -
ing to the decrease in enrolment's -
because the decrease is spread
out over the 19 schools in the two
counties.
Mr. Eckert said the public
must be educated to the problem
so they can understand why
changes must: be made by the
boards.
