To Begin At . Public School Class piano instruction to child- ren in. grades two to six at an ex- ceedingly low per -pupil cost is about to be introduced in Clinton.) This is thefirstexsuch instructio to be given in Western Ontario. Introduced by - the - Canadi n Bureau for the Advancement of Music Association in the city schools of Toronto, the plan has been approved by school boards in other urban centres across Cana- da. Instruction is given to the youngsters in groups of not more than eight pupils, by a teacher in- structed in the methods et a spec- ial teachers' course. For the course,of 20 half-hour lessons given twice weekly, the pupils pay 57.50, and supply their own music and books.'- `Classes are to be held after school hours, pro- bably from 12.30 to 1,00 o'clock, in .the kindergarten room ,of the nublic school. Reports are sent hoine at the end of each term: Pupils may enrol for no less than a complete • term, and the classes are available to pupils for two years. Permission to the Bureau to in- troduce this method of instruction in Clinton was given by the Clin- ton Public School Board some time ago, and since then the Bureau has appointed Mrs. May Mance Mac- kinnon (presently teaching music in the school) to be the teacher. Mrs, Mackinnon last summer took the special- course offered by the Bureau in Toronto, Parents of Clinton younsters have been advised of the classes, and this afternoon at four o'clock aro asked to meet in the kinder- garten room, with Mrs, Mackinnon, to enrol pupils for the first classes.

But, if the need arises in future years the SS. 8 Will Vote Tuesday On Re -Opening tat a ratepayer's meeting held in SS 5, Goderich Township, last Saturday, January -22, a motion was passed calling for a vote by ballot to decide on one of two courses. The ratepayers are to decide whether to re -open No. 8 school pending Department of Education approval, or to unite with Bayfield in the building of a new schoolas has been Sugges- ted] Legion will apply for the remain- ing 5500. In 1953 the Legion received 51,000 to apply to the building fund for the Legion Memorial Hall on Kirk Street. This was one-half of a grant awarded by the 1953 coun- cil, 5500 was'received last year, The town council will be requested to keep the oiler open if need for the money arises, 525, Toward Resuscitator The, Legion unanimously sup- ported a -motion to give $25; to- wards the purchase:- of a 5450 resuscitator which the Clinton and District Chamber.of Com- merce is promoting.
