Principals of the local schools predict that enrolment at most of the schools will be much the same as last year with a slight drop in some areas.

McCurdy Public School, Huron Park also has an increase from 26 kindergarten pupils to 35 and will be holding classes both in the morning and afternoon.

On the subject of yields and quality Ford commented, "If we have a wet year the yields are up and quality down and with dry weather the reverse is true with the quality excellent and that is the case this year. At the Exeter plant of Canadian Canners, manager Jack Urquhart reported the 1974 pea pack would be completed Saturday with the yield well above average. Urquhart said - the pea crop in the immediate Exeter area was off before the dry spell did any damage. He added, isolated showers in the Granton, St. Paul areas helped the later peas. He said canning corn was showing some effects of the dry weather. First corn from this area reached the factory Wed- nesday morning. One of the highlights of the farm year to date was the an- nouncement Monday by Ontario's Agriculture Minister Bill Stewart that the 1974 winter wheat crop in the province was the best ever. Stewart said yields in some areas reached from 75 to 100 bushels per acre. therefore avoid unnecessary repetition. Enrolment for McGillivray Central is set at 255, down from 269 last year.

Principal Joe Wooden said that this system offers more flexibility in timetabling and sufficient time for the subjects such as art, theatre arts, labs and shops. The old periods were 40 minutes in length and were found to be frequently inadequate in length for many courses and for use of film and aids in the academic courses. With individual timetabling, the problem of matching courses and times had become in- creasingly difficult. This system will allow for more flexibility in timetabling and ensures that each credit gets equal time. A study taken during the last school year showed that both students and teachers at South Huron were in favour of the two day system with periods of one hour and ten minutes. The study showed that reducing the number of subjects taken in a day reduced the student work load, especially in advanced level courses and senior general level courses. Teachers have to prepare fewer courses each day and therefore should be able to prepare more intensively. Studies have also shown that student attendance seems im- proved with the longer periods.
