supervisory officer when

consultant. Could we hire a
person to carry out both duties?'
Trustee Teahen asked.
Questioned by Mr. Connolly if
anyone in the system had written
his supervisory papers, Mr. Vin-
tar said no one had.
Donald Crowley, R.R.2, Gad-
shill, asked if teachers do not
have an understanding of slow
students and 'asked why some
teachers have more than others
and he wondered if a supervisory
officer would have a better view
on this rather than a consultant.
Vincent Young of Goderich
asked if principals are in the
classrooms supervising or if they
are teaching full time. Mr. Vintar
told him the principals try to do
the best they can in the time
allotted for supervision.
Mr. Looby said that a supervi-
sory officer should be hired and
'then we'll know what is going on
within the system. Supervision is
necessary.'
Mr. Teahen said a consultant
with supervisory qualifications
should be hired. and Mr. Shantz
asked why the principals couldn't
be in charge of the schools and
not have another supervisory
officer above them. He suggested
hiring the consultant this year
and next year reviewing the case
again to consider hiring a supervi-
sory officer.
Mr. Looby said again there was
not enough supervision within the
schools. Gordon Ball of St. Marys
asked if the ad could be 'and' and
'or', but this was ruled out.
Bringing the discussion to a
head, Mr. Looby made a motion
to advertise for two persons, a
supervisory officer and a special
education consultant. In the vote,
recorded at the request of Mr.
Shantz, the motion was defeated.
Supporting it were Oscar Kieffer
of R.R.1, Bluevale; Ted Geoffrey
of R.R:2, Zurich; Mr. Looby;
Arthur Haid,R.R.4, Listowel; and
Mr. Young.
Voting against were F.J. Vere,
Pat Carty, Howard Shantz and
David Teahen, ' all of Stratford;
Gordon Ball; Donald Crowley;
and Francis Hicknell,
Seaforth,
Following more discussion Mr.
Hicknell made the second Motion
to advertise for a supervisory
Officer and this motion carried in
a recorded vote 7-5. Supporting'
were: Kieffer; Geoffrey, Looby,
Haid, Hicknell, Crowley and
YOung: Against were: Vere,-
Carty,, Shantz, Ball and Teahen.
The third' itiotion, to advertise
for a special education consultant
was carried, 7-5, bu't a recorded
vote was not requested. One
trustee questioned the legality of,
this third motion suggesting it
might be -out of order since the
contents of the last two motions
were the same as that of the first
motion which had been defeated.
The chairman ruled the motions
were in order since they were
worded differently from the orig-
inal motion.
In other -business Jack Lane,
Business Administrator, in-
formed the trustees that the
budget allottment may 'not be
sufficient if the bank interest rate
keeps climbing as it is, having
reached a new high as of May 10
at 11 per cent.
Mr. Shantz questioned $27,000
being the cost per year for supply
teachers. 'This has to be unreal,'
he said, mentioning the sick leave
problem in Stratford in the police
department.
Mr. Vintar informed him the
bulk of the money was for sick
leave but some was for supply
teachers when regular teachers
are attending authorized meet-
ings. He said records are kept.
Cheater?
I won't say he cheats, but he
won't go bowling anymore. After
all, who can tilt an alley?
Underwater Photos
Underwater photography got
its start in 1892, when Frenchman
Louis Boutan photographed a
Mediterranean spider crab.
Unlike today's hand-held
cameras, Boutan's camera was in
a copper and iron box weighing
several hundred pounds, bouyed
by an empty wine cask.
