Ted Geoffrey reported on a one -day Architectural Services Workshop which he and Michael Connolly attended at Bluevale Collegiate Institute in Waterloo, Ed Rowland, Co-ordinator, attended as well. Mr. Geoffrey said they received many ideas on saving energy -heating, etc. as well as suggestions as to what to watch out for in roof repairs, construction and related areas. Jack Lane, Business Adminis- trator, was authorized to attend the 20th annual meeting of the Ontario Separate School Busin- ess Officials' Association in Toronto, April 2 and 3. Michael Connolly and Ted Geoffrey will attend the Ontario Committee for Education meet- ing to be held in Brantford on April 21. A letter of congratulations is to be sent to Ed Rowland's son, Michael, of R.R.1, Dublin, • who placed first in the senior elementary section of the Royal Canadian Legion District C Public speaking contest in Harriston on March 3. He will advance to a competition in Collingwood on March 17. The board turned down on a 9-3 vote a request from Terry Craig, a teacher at St. James Separate School in Seaforth, to send out a geographical statist- ical survey to parents in St. Columban and St. Patrick's School, Dublin, with the stud- ents taking the questionaire home to their parents. Mr. Craig indicated in his letter to the board the statistics were required in the Geography Cou- rse he was taking at Laurier University, Waterloo. While the board members agreed the survey was harmless, trustee David Teahen suggested that Mr. Craig should•mail out the questionaire himself, rather than involve the board. The Regional Director of Education in Kitchener reported to the Board that it could rec- eive an allocation from Capital Aid of 360,000 (Category B) for such projects as extensions of education services - -such as resource centres, gymnasiums, as long as there is a proven neec that will meet Ministry of Ed- ucation approval. This proposal was handed over the the Build- ing and Maintenance Commit- tee to consider and report back the the board for approval. An undertaker married a snake charmer and had their towels marked 'Hiss and Hearse.' Teachers urged to improve image (continued from page 1) teachers, and that Tom Wells has undermined the autonomy of local school boards and has succeeded in politicizing teach- ers as never before in history," "Mr. Wells' policies have caused unprecendented disrupt- ions in teachers' contract neg- otiations and he has lost his credibility as Minister of Education, " he said. The Liberals oppose many of the Bill's provisions and will work to make changes in the legislature, Mr. Riddell assured his audience. He supports keeping teacher -board negot- iation a local concern, and rejects the idea of having principals and teachers in sep- arate federations. Mx. Riddell said working conditions and jobs security should be negot- iable in teacher -board contracts Commenting on Mr. Riddell's advice about teachers needing to work for more public support, James Carey, of London, a past president of OECTA who attended the dinner meeting, said his association gives this priority. He said teachers have to let parents know they have a professional service to offer to the community. "For too long teachers have done whatever is asking of them, he said. "Education is a service in which working conditions and wages are important." Mr. Carey said that parents should be more involved in the education process to ensure that responsible people run for board positions. He also said he would strongly support school board meetings open to the public, perhaps held on a rot- ating basis in various schools, " And the ratepayers should see that they attend the meetings. No one works well in a vac- uum, " he added.
