J. Coulter, Huron Pub- lic School-lnspecter 'told Sea - forth Lions, Monday night , as. hediscussed changes in the education system. - In discussingthe curriculum, Mr. Coulter : said that in some cases the names of subjects re- main the same but in others, have gone full cycle. An: exam= ple he said was geography and history which for a number of years had been combined • as social studies, -but were now hack as_geggraphy .and:. history - Regardless of the name given a subject the contents have been updated. Education today is designed Referring to his experiences when' he took part in the March from Selma to Mont- A gomery, he said, that too often the largest pockets of •racial. prejudice ' are in.-. the 'Christian churches. In Selma therewas a church for every 500 •people ...4...' ampaig yet here, was a place of- intens bigotry. -Mr. Passmore in an interest- ing question and ` answer per- iod, described problems of prej- udice as they arose in everyday experiences.
