History to Mr. Onn's classes
and has enjoyed it very
much. He said "The small
school is definitely a very
good learning environment.
The kids are super!" Now
that he has left us, he will
return to school until his next
practice teaching session.
He said he would de-
finitely !ILA, t2 teach in a rural
school. Astor the subjects, he
wants to teach History and
Georgraphy to Grades 9-13.
On behalf of all os us at
Seaforth District High School
we wish all three teachers
the best of luck in the future
and hope they will return
some day.

The senior girls kept .the
score close until half-time
'when the Huskies pulled
ahead and won 35-25.
The Juniors played a tough
game of the finish and were

THE HURON EXPOSITOR, OCTOBER 26, 1978
reaches conclusions
The prime responsibility for the religious
.education of young people is in the home.
That is one of the conclusions reached by a
committee set up a year agp by the Perth
County Board of Education to study the
questionof religious and moral education in
the schools.
Nevertheless, the committee has acknow-
ledged the need for a school program on
moral values, and will prOpose that such a
program be started in the Perth schools
when it meets with the board at a , special
meeting on Oct. 24. ,
The recommendations that will be pro-
posed by the committee at that time were
presented to the public la.,11-hursday night at
Upper Thames elementary 'school in Mitch-
ell.
The meeting. attended by about 75 people
from the area, was arranged by the
committee to give parents, teachers and
students a chance to comment on the

committee's findings. It was the last in a
series of six such public meetings held over
the past two weeks in schools around the
county.
Following opening remarks by committee
chairman Trustee Robert McTavish, a
half-hour film suitable ter a moral vOlties
program at the grades seven and eight level
was shown by Bonnie Neigh, an elementary
school teacher.
People at the meeting were then divided
into five groups, each discussing the
committee's proposed recommendations.
Didn't Want Doctrinatlon
A similar series of public meetings were
held by the committee last Marcn to discover
what people in the county expected from the
public school system in regards to moral and
religious education.
Mr. McTavish said Thursday night that
after that round of meetingsl `most of the
committee felt there should be religious
education in the schools."
However, he went on to explain that for
several reaons, it was decided the schools
shouldn't become too heavily involved in the
teaching of religion.
Besides the fact that the committee felt
the hoine is primarily responsible for .
religious education. McTavish argued that.
"it would be difficult for the schools not to
doctrinize, even if they tried not to."
He added the committee didn't want
parents to feel they have to withdraw their
children from courses or opening exercises
because of their objections to the religious
content.
And to pffer a religious program broad
enough to satisfy everyone would mean that
the schools would have to "Water down" any
such prOgram so much so that it wouldn't be
helpful'.
As a solution, Mr. McTavish said a moral
values program could cover a lot of what
people have said they want, without getting
in. to religious education.

5, that the board establish a program Mind
to develop a moral values program; to 00.111
in-service training of teachers; and to plan
the implementation of the program;
6. that the board appoint a moral values ,
consultant for a period of four years to '
provide leadership in the development of the 1:
program, the in-service training of teachers,
the implementation of the program and the
evaluation of the program
Lack of Detail
"Some of you may be disappointed with
rour lack of detail," Mr. McTavish told ,
Thursday's meeting. He explained that the
committee's job had been only to come up
with recommendations, not to actually
develop a program.
He added that in other countries, it has
taken up to five years to actually get such a
program into the schools. and while the
committeedidn't want to move too slowly, it
felt a cautious approach would avoid many of
the problems that can arise from rushing
into such education too quickly:
The film, "Death of a Gandy Dancer," '
pictured a number of moral dilemmas facing
members of a family when they are told their
grandfather is dying of cancer. It was shown
as an example of what kind of resources a
moral values program could 'be expected to ;•'
use.
Following the film, Mrs. Neigh comment-
ed that many times "sensitive and delicate g
issues" such as death would come up in sty
class for discussion. ,
"Deep feelings are going to be aroused on
occasion," she said. •
"But expertly handled, there would be no
problems," she added.
Mr. McTavish stressed that a moral
values program would not be a separate
program, but would' fit into existing
programs.
