Dr. Hardy pointed `'f> out it's only since 1969 that boards of education in Ontario have taken over the financial responsibility for educating the educable mentally --retarded. Before then, the superintendent said, this group of children didn't enjoy the right to an education. 1)r. Hardy added today mandatory education legislation, which guaran- tees every child has the right to an education, exist only in - Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan - am-ong Canadian provinces. She said other provinces, Ontario included. are under no compulsion to provide education for the han- dicapped. since these ruvinees still have per- missive 'legislation regar- dhig education. In her speech, the superintendent said a number of social revolutions have changed childrens' place in society. • For example.ail neNvork hetweet fS am lies once found in small, rural communities' or in the ex- tended family- is gone. The replacement for families who niay need help is "an extended support system like the Huron Centre for Children and Youth offers."

She said schools- are expected to be involved in guidance, counselling students on an individual basis and family life studies, as well as other programs. Another recent change pointed out by the speaker, was the provincair govern- n►ent,'s decision to bring most services dealing with 'children under one ministry - the Ministry of Family and Children's Servies. Dr. Hardy said the only childrens' service which doesn't fall under the um-, brella is the . ministry of . education_ Dr. Hardy said she expects ,it will come under the same ministry sometimes during her career. . The superintendent said the rela-tionship between students and teachers has also changed in recent years. 1)r. Hardy said anyone who has visited secondary -schools lately will discover • students now hate "a nfc•e .' easy - relationship with teachers.'' Dr. Hardy said • one problem the school system ----taees-thatsocial-agencies do not, is that "We (the schools) arc, obliged, to deal with all the-- children whether we want them - or not " in elaborating on this, Dr. Hardy explained many private social agencies will take a case involving 'Susan Wheatley . a member • of the ladies committee, said the quills were judged for originality -et-..design. the quality -7-0r quilting on the quilts. color c'o-ordina1ion. proportion and the suitability of design-- to esign:to subject •matter.
