or west window. It does well in

of water and fertilizer during
the winter when growth is slow.

Rev. Anthony Durand, pastor
of St. Boniface Church, Zurich,
and Dean of the Huron -Perth

on what makes a good teacher
in a separate school. He said
in the early grades, up to
Grade 6, it is important to
make sure the schools are rel-
igious. that Christ dominates
both teacher and students.
For the later grades 6 to 8,
it is necessary that the teacher
knows theology and the doct-
rines, as well as being devout,
to be able to defend the faith.
He advised the trustees that if
it is possible for the board to
send teachers for religious train-
ing he would recommend only
one place --Divine Word Centre
in London
