It has been suggested that stu- dents should spend forty per Beat of their in large classes taught by an experienced pi'o- fessional and the remainder of the day in small ,discussion groups led by 'general teachers' and in individual study super. vised by 'instructional assist- ants.' This combination would take the burden of unnecessary work from trained teachers and there- by eliminate a duplication of effort and waste of teaching tal- ent that is a basic element in the teacher shortage. Too much togetherness in schools was also cited as a dis- tinct liability in the teacher - learning process. All of which brings us home Froin San Francisco. The plan outlined at USF was ori;inated from findings result- ing from the Ford Foundation experiment now being conducted in Jefferson County R-1 schools, now in its third year.

We have two cheques lost in the mail — Ontario government cheques — interest due on several bands that we own. The bonds are fut. ly registered: the interest pay- able twice yearly. Up until now the cheques have always arrived absolutely on time. This time sev- eral days went by; finally a week, Still no cheques. So I made inquiries at our Iocal post office. We have rural mail delivery in our district so I thought it pos• sible the cheques had gone to some other family by the name of Clarke and would eventually turn up. Two weeks went by.

He looked up the records and found the cheques had been mailed at the proper time. He suggested con- tacting our post office again and if the cheques did not show up with a day or two to notify the Department in writing, This we did and got word back that the cheques had not been presented for payment by any unauthoriz: ed person, therefore the bank had been notified to stop pay- ment, In due time duplicate cheques would be sent to us -- that is, in about six weeks!. in all, that means a two month's delay before we get our money. It could be quite inconvenient. The big question is — where did the first cheques go? The post oNice suggests they might have gone to an entirely differ- ent town or village bearing a similar name. I know it can happen. When our address was "Milton" quite frequently marl was sent to "Wilton" — some- times because it was addressed that way. Now our address is "Erindale" we come up against Erin, Evansville, Erinsville and F:lntvale. Sometimes it is the result of a typist's error. We have yet to get mail correctly addressed from one insurance company with whom we deal', Anyway, if you get cheques or- important rimportant documents lost in the mail, contact the office from which they were sent, The mat- ter will eventually get straight- ened out. In the old days, accord- ing to a time-honoured saying, "the mail always gets through". But these are not the old days. There are now more people, more places, more time -saving machinery — and more maul. But it is questionable whether there is more efficiency. We experienced another little inconvenience last week. It was good drying weather so I un- dertook to do some extra wash- ing — blankets and so on, May- be you can guess what .happen- ed. Yes, in the Middle of things our washing machine -gave up the ghost. After resting a while, it would go for a few minutes, then blow a fuse and quit. 1',`e thought it roust be the motor although the machine is only three years old. However, the repair man said the trouble was in the drainage pump. By acci- dent, it was half turned on, a' thouhh not. in use. This caused I':r.t to collect and plugged the works. We paid the service charge but did not have the pump repaired • — for the sim- ple reason we don't use it. Part - nee drain$ the water into pails end uses it to water the garden.

Years ago I was trying to educate our son Bob into using the more polite term for excess body moisture. What answer do you suppose I got? "Gee, Muni — don't try to make me a sissy.

ISSUE 80 — 1960 First Photos of New Paris Fashions NEW YORK—(NEA)—The first pictures through from Paris show fall and winter fashions to be feminine and wearable, not at all drastic. Hems are just below the knee and, for both daytime and evening, get the luxury of fur trim. Many coat collars come up to the ears only to be met by hats reaching down to the ears. We show here daytime and evening clothes from the top French couturiers, all of them very flattering. — By GAILE DU - GAS, Newspaper Enterprise Women's Editor. A LIGHT and airy look is ach- ieved in this double-breasted turquoise coat by Michel Goma in a shaggy surface fabric. Semi -fitted at the front, it has high waistline with slightly flared skirt.
