She said schools are •expected to be involved In ,guidance, councelling students on an individual basis and family life studies, .as well as other program'. Another recent change pointed' out by the speaker. was the provincial govern. ment's decision to bring roast . services dealing with children under one ministry - the Ministry of Family and Childrens' Serviees, Dr: Hardy said the only childrens service which doesn't' fall under the umbrella is the ministry of education. Dr. Hardy,said she expeetkit will come under the same mini- stry sometime during her career.. 'The, superintendent said the relationship , between students and teachers has also changed in recent years. Dr. Hardy said anyone 'who has visited secondary schools lately will discoydr students. ' now' , have t'a nice, easy relationship with teachers." Obliged Dr. Hardy said one 'prob- lem the' •school system faces that social agencies do not, is that "We (the schools) are obliged to -deal with all the • children whether we, want . them or not." Dr. Hardy explained ' many priyate social agencies will take a case involving children only if the parents are willing to co-oPerate' in helping the -child and working with agency staff. The same option doesn't exist for schools,. The superintendent said however, the London school 'board is having "tremendous luck" ' with both parent volunteers: „ who work in the schools and voltinteers from other agencies, like Fan- shawe College, who help with students. She also advocated peer tutoring or cross-age tutoring whereby children in the school help each other, really an "extension of playing teacher" which gives the children some experience in Parenting. - Dr. Hardy said centres like the'Huron Centro for Child• ren and Yputh wouldn't be needed if 1,4 ,We could help children develop a good sense about themselves." However, she said this is a long, slow process since most parents raise their children in the same way they were raised themselves. But, Dr. Hardy said, the real key to working with children is "a 'base of support in the home: THE HURON . .

Before then., the superintendent said, this group of children didn't enjoy the right to an education. Dr. Hardy added •teday Mandatory education legis- lation; which guarantees every child has the right to an education, exists only in Manitoba, Nova Scotia and, Saskatchewan among Canad- ian provinces. She said other provinces, Ontario included, are under no compulsion to provide education for -the handi- capped,, since these provinces still have 'permissive legis- lation regarding education. Revolutions In her speech, the s.uper- intendent said a number of social revolutions 11.4ve changed childrens' society.
