Mrs. Mary Hesser, president of the Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ont- ario said in a news conference after the closed meeting that there is no longer a reason for a difference in her pupil grants from the provincial government to local school boards. Mrs, Hesser said she was wor- ried because rather than closing the gap between grants for eleni• entary school students and seeom dary school students, the gap was actually widening. hors. PAGE 15 grants Hesser said there is a difference of $527 between per pupil grants for secondary and elem- entary schools. She said this difference has historical roots dating back to when secondary schools were more specialized than elementary schools. Costs were. higher in running a second- ary school because of the expen- sive equipment for shops in voc- ational schools and laboratories. Class sizes had to be smaller in the shops so costs were higher. The higher qualifications of secondary school teachers also made a difference, she said. But now, with new government regulations conning into effect which make it necessary for an elementary school teachers to Bow9� g scores t Zurich Lar es LADIES BOWLING LEAGUE NOVEMBER 19, 1973 Alley Oops - Erla Srnale - 653 Happy Gang - Mary Orr - 501 Jolly Six - Iva Reid - 509 Packers - Marian Rader - 708 Slow Pokes - Benny Morrissey - 499 Starlites - Jean Schroeder - 591 The Angels - Rita Mommersteeg - 569 Town & Country Six- Doreen Dietrich- 582 Ups & Downs - Phyllis Jeffery - 559 HIGH SINGLE - Nellie Trott - 346 HIGH TRIPLE - Donna Hamather - 753 HIGH AVERAGE - Leona Rader - 199 NOVEMBER 26, 1973 Alley Oops - Mary Laporte - 626 Happy Gang - Mary Orr 565 Jolly Six - Wanda McClinchey - 571 Packers - Mona Kraft - 603 Slow Pokes - Dianne Becker - 463 Stariites - Shirley Kipfer - 668 The Angels - Rita Mommersteeg - 597 Town & Country Six - Shirley Pole - 600 Ups & Downs - Betty Grenier - 622 HIGH SINGLE - Nellie Trott - 346 HIGH TRIPLE - Donna Hamather - 753 HIGH AVERAGE - Mary Laporte - 198 SENIOR MIXED BOWLING LEAGUE Hi Hopes - C.

At present, she said, about one fifth of elementary school teach- ers ',aye each•ers'..tve degrees and about one fifth of secondary school teach- ers do not have degrees. In the past, she said, element ary school teachers were expect- ed to teach only the three R's, But now, she says, the teacher is eXpected to give individualiz- ed instruction and be able to diagnose the special needs of each pupil. To fill this new role Mrs. Hesser, said, the teacher needs more help which make it important more money be dev- oted to elementary education. If teachers can meet the needs of students at the primary level, she said, the need for many of the problems of secondary students could be eliminated. Mrs. 1lesser said that to do this, however, it is essential to have more money and to have smaller class sizes. She said government cutbacks in educat- ion spending had meant some of the special services being offer- ed by elementary schools had been eliminated. If the grant structure was made the same for both school systems, she said, elementary schools could afford the things they need to do the job right, such as labs and shops. Mrs. Hesser described Mon- day's meeting as an information meeting and said it is import- ant to have the feelings of the teachers across the province if the Federation is to work for a better deal. 0 New program for students Beginning in September, special board school placement committees will be empowered to place 14 year and 15 -year old students, who are not benefiting from existing school programs, into an out of school program. or activity. Education Minister Thomas Wells made the announcement in presenting the Ministry's spending estimates to the Legis- lature. Mr. Wells said the new program does not reduce the age at which a student may leave school which is now 16. Students placed in other programs, which could include employment or a combination of school and employment will remain on the rolls of their school until they are 16. Mr. Wells said that the new program is being introduced because of the Ministry's concern for a small, highly select group of 14 and 15 year olds who do not seem to benefit from existin programs. The new program, he said, is not an "escape valve' for a particular group of students but rather reflects a recognition and acceptance of the fact that legitimate learning experiences can occur both in and out of school. "There is no reason why stud- ents could not earn credits where part of the credit is earned in school and the other portion earned on the job in actual work related experience." Students will only be placed in the new program after full consideration of their individual case by the local school board placement committee, Mr. Wells said. 0 A woman wears a sweater to accentuate the positive and a girdle to elhninate the negative.
