Books are board topic
The Huron County Board of
Education sent its dirty book
problem to a committee Monday
to decide if three English liter-.
attire texts contain material
"objectionable" for teaching
county secondary ' school
students.
The board voted to give the
problem to the school programs
policy committee which decides
what textbooks to recommend to
the board for use in the class-
room. The move was made to
avoid another confrontation
between teachers and students
who feel the books are worthwhile
and parents who feel they should
be banned from school use.
The three books--The Diviners
by Margaret Laurence, Catcher in •
the Rye by J. D. Salinger and of
Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
--became the centre of attention
for a third time recently when the
St. Joseph's Catholic Women's
League from Kingsbridge began
Afternoon
Mrs. Beacom entertained the
members of the. Afternoon Unit
en her home on Tuesday. Twenty
'members resonded to the roll all
by naming a Mother of the Bible.
The devotions were convened by
Mrs. W. Turnbull using a
Mother's Day. Theme. The
Scripture Prov. 15 was read by
Mrs. DeVries. "Mother in the
Home" was the subject of an
inspiring message by Mrs. J.
Turnbull. "Mother" is a Lullaby
you remember as a child.
Forty-six visitations were
recorded for the month of April.
On May 16 a General visitation
will take 'place. Members are
asked to report at the church 2:00
p. m;
A bale is currently being
packed. Donations may be left in
the church entrance. Good, clean
clothing is asked for.
The June meeting will be held
at Maple Villa. The closing
thought was given by Mrs.
Hemingway. The Pessimist says
My . cup is half empty.", The
Optimist says "My cup is half
full"; The Christian says "My
cup runneth over.

a letter writing campaign to have
them taken off the list of books
used in the secondary school
English literature , curriculum in
Huron.
The CWL cited about half a
dozen excerpts from each novel in
a campaign involving board
trustees, parents, members of
parliament, the minister of,
education, township councils in
the county and other Catholic
Women's Leagues. The campaign
asked that the groups and•
individuals contact the board
requesting the three novels be ,
banned in Huron high schools.
Seaforth trustee John
Henderson said at Monday's
board meeting that he would like
more positive action taken by the
board. He said the board had
"wrestled with the problem"
before and still faced the same
controversy.
Mr. Henderson said once the—
isSue went, to the education
committee, once to the executive
committee- and now the school
programs committee, He said he •
would like the motion sending the
three novels to the committee
probably face another parent-
teacher-student confrontation. He
said that' move was suggested
before and one board meeting
brought the groups together in-an
emotional display that solved •
nothing.
Mr. Cochrane suggested that
by sending the matter' to the
committee the problem could be
resolved between. the principals
of the schools, English depart-
ment heads and trustees. He said
the books would probably not be
on the list of texts for next year if
the board took that route.
"It would be a fair bet, if were
a betting man, that the books
won't appear on the list next
year." he said, "That's the
reason they were sent to the
committee."
The director told' the board that
recent board. policy required the
board to allow one month for
groups affected, by a board,
decision to come to the board to
appeal the decision, He said by
removing the texts, from the list
the board was inviting opponents
of that move to make their case(
known to the 'trustees; something,
that was done last year over the
same issue.
Mr, Henderson asked board
chairman John Elliott why the
matter was dealt with by the
executive committee. He said he
felt that if there were a lot of
letters sent to the board the
matter should have been dealt
with by the board.\He said he was
not aware of the number of letters
received on the issue.
Mr. Elliott said the letters were
sent to individuals on the.board
and not to the board itself. He
said the executive . committee
dealt with the issue for public
relations, wanting to show good
faith in dealing with the requsts
of the opponents of the books.
Mr. Cochrane said the board
office had received many letters
on the issue that .13_41 been
forwarded to the executive
committee.
"I don't know how close to a
bushel basket we have now," he
said. "A sample of the letters.
was put on eachsone of your (the
trustees) desks."
Mr. Henderson ,,agreed not to
ask the ' board to vote on his
motion to remove The ,Diviners
from the list of texts and the
board agreed to allow the school
programs committee to deal with
the issue. .
