An improved testing program in grade 8 willback up tea- chers experience with stud- ents to aid in giving .advice as to choice, No one will be forced into a course he doesn't wish to enter, inercial courses, Students and their parents will come into much closer contact with teachers than at present for consultation to in the intermediate grades and to create a better foundation in science for secondary school students who continue into grades eleven, twelve, and thir- teen. At the same time, it is intended to give those who leave school after grade ten an opportunity to learn as much about .the world of science as possible. According to Inspector Go- man, "the idea is to bring the science course in public schools more up-to-date and to try to maintain the interest of public schoolstudents in science." Because many pupils in grades 12 and 13 found the science courses rather difficult, it was thought that it would prove beneficial if they were taught some science In grades seven and eight in the elemen- tory schools. Students in grade seven will receive instruction material things that are present around them every day, such as heat, water, plants and minerals while the grade eight course outline entails deeper study in plants, animals and wildlife and also a section on astronomy and weather which was before now reserved for study in high school, Most of the public school course is a general outline of the science worldwhile high school students will receive more detailed study in `their science courses both inagricul- ture and agricultural science. The new scheme for teaching of science will come into effect this year for grades seven, eight, and nine and grade ten will have it, in 1962. UC needs 'Fridays' "Girl. Fridays," and "Man Fridays," to relieve the pres- sure on ministers are urgent, ly needed by The United Church. of Canada, the church. journal "The United Church Observer" claims. The church paper has been urging a new one-year ::nurse of training in Christian educa- tion for those contemplating a limited period of full-time church work. At present, The Observer points out, there are only two kinds of church workers: the lay volunteer who makes a living in some other job and gives the church what time is left over; and the well-trained professional — minister, deac- oness and Christian education director. "What the average minister needs is not a deaconess, or a couple of stenographers, or an ordained assistant, but a man or girl Friday," The Observer declares. "Someone who can do a great many things, to whomstatus can be given, but for whom some training must be provided" Lovers' quarrel ends with crash A lovers' quarrel ended in an accident on the Crediton road Sunday.
