touches many of us today,
work is Recessary but it is
not all important to life.
Obsession with one's work
takes an enormous toll
today, there are lonely
widows and frustrated
children as the result of this
attitude, said Rev. Morden.
The minister thanked
those members who had
attended the service at St.
Thomas Anglican Church
while he was on vacation,
and also congratulated the
committee who were
responsible for having the
interior of the church
painted during the summer.
There will be a service of
dedication for the sanctuary
next Sunday morning.
Flowers were placed in the
church in memory of Ernest
Ferguson of Whalen Cor-
ners, by his family. There
were two baskets of flowers
left in the church from the
Aldrich -Riddell Wedding.
At the Granton Com-
munity Bible Church Pastor
Fretz finished his series of
messages by preaching on
"We Believe in the Lord's
Supper" The Lord Jesus
commands His flowers to
regularly partake in the
communion service. The
Communion service is a time
of remembering the
Ressurrection and Imminent
return for His believers. It is
also a time to proclaim the
good news that Jesus' shed
blood covers our sins, if we
only will believe.
The Sunday School
favoured the congregation
with a marching hymn
"Children for Jesus" before
going. to their fall classes.
At the St. Thomas
Anglican Church the Rev.
Mary Mills conducted the
morning service and took
her sermon from the Collect
of the Day John 10: from the
2lverse, quoting"Grant we
beseech Thee that we may so
faithfully serve Thee in this
life, that we fail not to attain
Thy Heavenly promises".
The 1 lesson was read by
Kenneth Hoar, and the
second by Betty Ann Her-
bert.
Mrs. Mills told the
congregation how much she
had enjoyed being their
Minister for the month of
August, and said it had
helped to make up for when
she had to leave so suddenly
owing to her illness.
A time of fellow§hip was
enjoyed in the Church Hall
over refreshments at the
conclusion of the service.
Next Sunday the Rev.
Greg Smith will return to his
pulpit and the service will be
at 9:30 a.m.

By JACK RIDDELL, MP,'
A healthy "school at-
mosphere", which is a
product of well-designed
programs, enlighted
leadership, caring and
conscientious teachers,
supportive parents, and
enthusiastic students, is of
the utmost importance. An
important factor is
discipline, not by "rule and
rod", but based upon ac-
ceptance of responsibility by
students, school staffs, and
members of the community
served by the school.
Surveys conducted in this
province in the last three
years show that lack of
discipline is consistently
perceived by the public as
the biggest problem facing
our schools. While people are
calling for more discipline in
our schools. obedience to
authority is being eroded in
society generally usually by
forces over which the school
has no control.
Family breakdown is on
the increase, drugs are
easily available, the legal
drinking age has been
lowered, and violence is
frequently exploited in the
mass media. Schools are
simply not equipped to
counter these and other
trends toward anti -social
behaviour, certainly not
unaided.
However. steps can and
should be taken within our
schools to offset negative
, factors which have emerged
in recent years - factors such
as large schools with im-
personal procedures, in-
dividual time -tables and loss
of home -room identity, an
increase of "unscheduled"
time from students' in-
creased cultural and ethnic
diversity.
Extra -curricular activities
are known to contribute to a
positive school atmosphere,
increasing schools' ability to
retain students. The loss of
teachers due to declining
enrolment has reduced the
range of activities. Clearly,
there is a need to draw more
heavily on community
resources. bringing parents
and other adults into the
schools to assist in sports
programs and other student
activities.
It has been suggested that
there should be a closer link
between attendance
requirements and the
granting of credits. The
Project felt that school
boards and schools should be
provided with an adequate
guide for development of
local statements of at-
tendance expectations, to
form part of any code of
behaviour. Peer group
pressure 111 secondary
schools is obvious and
inescapable. and should be
turned to good use. Most
students will respond
positively lo endeavours
aimed at developing fair and
supportive procedures,
although there will always
be exceptions, of course.
The relationship between
school and community has
probablyjnever been more
crucil. Changes within our
school system need to be
explained to the public. in
particular. parent* need to
be "with it" in order to offer
,.� •=.i., A. At
Jack's jottings
wise advice, thus fulfilling
their parential role.
Schools need to keep in
close touch with business
and industrial develop-
ments. They are also
frequently involved with the
courts and social service
agencies.
The Project has recom-
mended:
68. That the Ministry of
Education, in conjunction
with other Ministries and
agencies, develop more
specific strategies and
service to help teachers and
principals deal with ex-
tremely disruptive
behaviour in students.
69. That School boards
be required to develop clear
policies and techniques
regarding behavioural
issues as chronic ab-
senteeism, vandalism, drug
abuse and alcoholism.
70. That all secondary
schools enunciate -a clear
code of student behaviour,
developed by a cross-section
of parents, students and
staff, to foster a sense of self-
worth and self-discipline in
students. The code must
clearly outline realistic,
effective consequences for
failure to live up to it.
71. That, where possible in
Grades 9 and 10, schools give
more coherence to
classroom organization by
grouping students together
for sets of classes in the
compulsory courses, thereby
helping students achieve a
greater sense of security and
reducing the sense of
isolation often felt in large
sc hoots,. -
72. That with the board's
approval each school
establish a mechanism to
assess its needs for extra-
curricular activities and
involve students and
members of the community
in this assessment.
73. That secondary schools
develop strategies which will
allow for student par-
ticipation in the development
of policies and procedures
in the school and in the
assessment of the ef-
fectiveness of school
programs and their delivery.
in an effort to foster
greater involvement of
schools in a variety of
community projects. thus
serving the needs of the
community ani developing
