Board approves teachers centre
(continued from page 1)
before proceeding on a science
field trip. This instruction
could be part of the physical
education program.
During the fall term several
elementary school classes took
part in outdoor lessons along
streams, in woods and in open
fields and it was felt that much
could be learned by the child-
ren returning to these areas to
discover the changes which have
occurred in the plants and anim-
als. The snowshoes are needed
to reach these snowbound areas.
Previously the students had
been using the 40 pairs bought
by the Outers Club at the High
School in Exeter and it was not
felt to be fair to continue
borrowing this equipment.
A World Religions course to
be offered in 1974-75 at Central
Huron Secondary School, Clin-
ton, was given approval in
principle by the Board. subject

J.L. Wooden, principal of the
Exeter school, one of three
principals sitting in on the board
meeting, said he thought the
course a good one which broad-
ens the student's level. He said
50 to 60 enrolled in the course
at Exeter but there were some
dropouts when they found the
course took up too much study.

Ruts and railroad tracks are
pitfalls of many an inexperienc-
ed driver, especially in winter,
says the Ontario Safety League.
When crossing them, first slow
down, then steer across them as
squarely as possible. If caught in
tracks or ruts, decrease speed
before turning out of them.
