new pricing system
The Ministry of Education
will increase expenditure ceil-
ings by an average of 7.9 per
cent next year, Education Min-
ister Thomas Wells announced
last week.
The 1974 ceiling for element-
ary schools will be increased by
$53 to $683 per pupil while the
secondary school ceiling will
be raised to $1, 210 per pupil,
an increase of $80 over last
year. The amounts represent an
increase of 8.41 and 7.08 per
cent respectively.
Mr. Wells said the new exp-
enditure ceilings reflect the
inflationary factors now present
in the economy and will ach-
ieve an even greater degree of
equity among the school boards
of Ontario.
He said that the ceilings
were proving effective in control
ling the rate of increase in the
cost of education. Between
1967 and 1970, prior to the
establishment of the ceilings,

Huron teachers
attend meeting
of Federation
The status of women was the
chief topic of discussion as over
800 women teachers from all
over Ontario attended the An-
nual Meeting of the Federation
of Women Teachers' Association
of Ontario, at rhe Royal Yorlt
Hotel, Toronto, The Federation
represents the province's 33, 000
elementary public school wom-
en teachers. Provincial Presid-
ent Lenore Graham of Windsor
chaired some sessions and Marg-
aret Hyndrnan, Q,C., of Tor-
onto presided over the business
Sessions.

Buck, Miss M. Clark, Mrs. B.

Well-known educator and
writer Sybil Shack of Winnipeg,
author of the recently published
"The Two -Thirds Minority:
Women in Canadian Education, "
spoke to the delegates about her
book and her personal exper-
iences as a woman teacher and
school principal. Delegates also
discussed the Ontario govern-
ment's green paper, Equal Opp-
ortunity for Women in Ontario
and the Federation's response to
it. The Federation has told the
government that they want act-
ion now and do not want to
wait for further studies of mat-
ters (such as equal pay for work
of equal value) that have al-
ready been adequately studied.
The Federation has offered to
assist the government in provid-
ing "consciousness -raising"
sessions for teachers and school
administrators on the subject of
the promotion of women in edu-
cation, sex stereotyping in text-
books and related matters.
Other matters discussed by
the women teachers included
collective bargaining and the
right to strike, merit pay, the
employment of teacher aides.

If your brakes aren't working
right when you first apply them
in the morning, they may have
"Morning sickness," says the
Ontario Safety League. If it
takes longer than usual to stop,
if your brakes grab or the car
pulls to one side, if braking ac-
tion is erratic, then overnight
dew or extremely humid air
may be affecting your brakes.
The cure is easy. Dry them by
applying gentle brake -pedal
pressure for a distance of 50
feet - six or seven car lengths -
while moving forward at about
10 to 15 mph.

and that the vast majority of
the boards have made such dec-
isions without any disruption or
.without adversely affecting the
quality of education. He said
that there has been almost univ-
ersal support for the principle
of keeping the rate of growth
of educational spending under
control.
During 1974 special consider-
ation will again be given to
school boards faced with declin-
ing enrolments. Mr. Wells said
this recognizes that boards face
certain fixed costs which do not
decrease in proportion to a drop
in enrolment,
