Huron -Perth
PA day April 2
All educational staff with
the Huron -Perth R.C.S.S.
Board will meet at St.
Michael's School, Stratford,
April 2, for a day devoted to
the topic of 'Providing
Enrichment Through the
Curriculum.'
During the day. teachers
will have the opportunity to
tearn about the Renzulli
Triad - a model which pro-
vides three types of enrich-
ment: general exploratory
experiences for all students,
group training activities in
thinking skills, and in-depth
independent studies for the
most able students.
In addition, various cur-
riculum committees and
some outside resource people
will demonstrate how the
three forms of enrichment
can be applied to every sub-
ject area, thus providing
specialized programming for
academically able students
within the regular classroom.

Once upon a time, a Cana-
dian, while travelling through
a crowded city in India, was
clutched at his sleeve by a
native who whispered furtive-
ly, "Follow me, if you want a
bargain." He led our hero
through many a crowded and
narrow lane until they came,
at last, to a large yellow tent.
Pushing through the flap that
served as a door, the Indian
brought the tourist inside to
where an immense, but
beautiful white elephant
stood, swaying back and forth
majestically.
"Isn't that the most
gorgeous elephant you've
ever seen?" asked the native.
"It certainly is," agreed the
impressed visitor.
"This elephant comes from
the finest stock in the land, is
far smarter than a horse and
more lovable than any dog.
He will be a faithful, lifelong
friend and a great asset to his
owner...and I will sell you this
magnificent beast for the
ridiculous sum of $1000."
"Oh," said the Canadian, "I
can see that this elephant is
all that you say, but really, I
have no use for an elephant,
even though I recognize you
are offering it at a great
bargain."
"I shouldn't do this,"
replied the Indian, "but
because you look like such a
nice fellow, and because I
sense you will be good to my
elephant, I'll reduce the price
to $500."
When a bargain's not a bargain
The man began to hesitate
and then said, "Well, that is
a bargain, but let me find my
wife and ask her advice."
In due time, he brought his
wife, and she agreed It was,
indeed, a noble animal to be
chant again whispered in the
man's ear, "Come. See what
I have at the back of the tent.
Following him, the Canadian
beheld another white
elephant, just as large and
just as magnificent as the

sold at such a small price.
However, she pointed out to
him it would cost a fortune to
have the elephant shipped
back to Canada. "Besides',"
she said, since we have no
place to house him we would
have to build a barn which,
again, would cost us
thousands. Then, there i3 the
matter of his food, which I'm
sure would also amount to a
great deal. On top of that,
what would we do with him?
We have no work for him and
no place for him to exercise.
It really would be very foolish
for us to purchase this
elephant."
"You're absolutely right,
agreed the husband, "we just
couldn't handle this elephant
at all."
Realizing that he was losing
the sale, the sly Indian mer-
first one.
"For you," said the cunning
dealer, "I'm going to make a
tremendous sacrifice...I'll sell
you both these animals for the
price of one."
"Sold." came the instant
reply.
This story came to my
mind, the other day, when I
was in a dress shop where a
young woman was waffling
between buying or not buying
a garment that was on sale
for half price. As she tried to
make up her mind, she said,
"I know my husband will say,
'If you didn't need it, it wasn't
a bargain."
I had to smile because it
reminded me of myself when
I was young, and an en-
thusiastic but poor, antique
hunter. Whenever I brought
my treasure home, be it a
stack of cracked old plates or
a three legged rocking chair,
my husband would glare and
demand, "Why on earth did
you buy that useless thing?"
(He's always been high on
usefulness). My stock answer
was always, "Because it was
so cheap." He'd hold his head
and moan, "How many times
do I have to tell you it's not
cheap if you can't afford it in
the first place?"
To this day, I find it hard to
resist a good bargain (even
when I don't need it, or can't
afford it). And, like the man
in the story, I've brought
home a few white
elephants...but not as many
as I used to. The last one was
a four foot pale blue, glass
walking cane... absolutely
useless and impossible to
display. I couldn't bear to see
it being knocked down for a
mere $20 so I thought I'd try
to boost the price a little. You
guessed it....l ended up trying
to sneak it through the door.
No such luck. In answer to my
spouse's glowering stare, I

BLOOD DONOR
confessed lamely, "It was so
cheap...."
He handled it silently for a
few minutes and then
remarked cheerfully, "Well,
at least, this is useful."
"Whatever for?"
"To break over your head
the next time you just can't
resist a bargain."
So, now, it seems tome, it's
better to let some of those
wonderful bargains go by the
board.
