New Requirements Could Increase Costs
(continued from page 1)
of the public. Let's take a look
at it first."
In the meantime, Director of
Education, Cochrane, received
the permission to hire 270 full-
time teachers for the secondary
school system when it had been
hoped that 255 would carry the
load in Huron this year before
the new system was imposed.
"Maybe we should regional-
ize small demand options, "
said Dr. A , B , Deathe.
Mrs. Marilyn Kunder, Sea -
forth, agreed. She noted that
a very small percentage of
the Seaforth High School stud-
ents were taking Latin this year,
Since Latin is not required for
anything but entering a oourse
to become a Latin teacher,
suggested Mrs. Kunder, maybe
the Latin course should be of-
fered at only a couple of
schools in the county with the
students desiring a Latin course,
travelling there to take it.
"I've been there and back,
stated Bob Elliott. He reminded
the board that Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton
had been built with the agree-
ment of all secondary school
boards in Hurst). so that all
technical training could be
taken there, not requiring the
other schools in the county to
build technical facilities loc-
ally.
"The students were the hang-
up there, " said Elliott. "They
just wouldn't leave their home
school to take the course. They
preferred to stay at home and
take a course they were not
suited for and maybe didn't
even want."
John Henderson asked why
the students at Seaforth District
High School were not given the
opportunity to have home ec-
onomics in Grade 13 when
Exeter, Wingham and Goderich
had it. He said several parents
had indicated to him that their
children were interested in the
course.
The director of education
told 1 -Henderson it was his feeling
that the Seaforth school had
too few students enrolled in
Grade 13 to warrant'the addit-
ion of an extra option. i -Ie said
home economics wasn't req-
uired for entrance into any
university, not even when stu-
dents would be majoring in
home economics.
He also stated that the mod-
ern home economics course
was more sociology than cook-
ing, sewing and baking. Ile
said the course was taught in a
classroom, not in a home ec-
onomics laboratory, and added
that in some cases, boys are
enrolled in the course.
Cochrane indicated that
while some students perhaps
thought the course would be
relatively easy, it was quite
involved. It was suggested
that when Huron County stud-
ents were fully aware of the
content of the home economics
course, there might not be as
much interest in it another
year.
Home economics has been
an option for Grade 13 at SHDHE
Exeter, but for the first time
this year will be offered at
Wingham and Goderich.
As well, the board also ap-
proved a basic programming
course for South Huron DI -IS
at Exeter this year in addition
to the schools in Clinton and
Wingham.
