Trustee Ted Geoffrey of R,R. 2, Zurich, reported for an Ad Hoc Committee which studied the Ministry of Education's paper titled Response To Change and a presentation by Stewart Oakes, Deputy Director of Region 5, Ministry of Education, to the Huron-Perth Board trustees. Specific aspects of the pro- gram which impressed the com- mittee, Mr. Geoffrey said, were: A. The Flexibility of the Pro- gram --student no longer locked into a particular progra m but may choose from a wider range of alternatives. Too, a student may move ahead or reach back to select subjects from .the school's total curriculum. A student may select a program which will suit his individual needs and abilities. B. The student and his parents in consul- tation with the school may de- termine the type of curriculum which is best suited for the indi- vidual talents and abilities. This permits a greater degree of in- volvement on the part of the parents. Mr. Geoffrey's recommen- dation that the Board support in principle the philosophy and e.p. preach of the reorganization of the Secondary School Program as articulated in Circular . HSI (Credit System) was endorsed by the Board: Trustee Vincent Young of Goderich announced that the Family Life Advisory Sub-com- mittee would meet in Seaforth• on February 27.

By THE OLD TIMER I remember being seven and walking barefoot on a ribbon of zool dark earth, made glassy smooth by a single blade of the plow. The plow was drawn by gentle horses respOnding to my father's "hi -ah's" as he guided the plow in almost straight fur- rows. I remember birds of every hue flocking down to that rich fresh earth to find the earth- worms which had been exposed by the •plow's sharp blade. The blushing redbud trees in flower on 'the hillsides and the sweet aroma' of wild plum blossoms used to make my senses go dizzy, The sky seemed so blue back then and the spring sunshine' was very warm. And I can still remember those soft south winds that blew across the fields. Those were the days! Will discuss integration of Wingharn bus service
