(Chatham, Goderich) Ltd. • 5294135 Registration excellent for first Christian School Kindergarten It was an historic day for the Clint and District Christian School on Thur- sday, March 17 when, for the first time in their 15 years of existence invited parents to the school to register for kindergarten. The decision to introduce a kindergarten to the school was made at the general society meeting held on February 2.8, and the board has been entertaining ap- plications for the • new teaching position and at the same time has been looking into the possible enrolfnent for this class. The principal, Ralph Schuurman, described first day registration results - as "Going beyond all my ex- pectations. I expected perhaps 20 to enrol. Imagine, my surprise when by noon we had enrolled 25 pupils for kindergarten". He added that he anticipated at least two or three more registrations in the next few weeks. Asked whether the Board had considered the possibility of having two kindergarten classes, he said that theyhad not as yet thought it necessary to discuss that eventuality, but he hinted that if the expected two or three more pupils were to materialize, two classes wpuld be very likely. • It was -a teacher who summed up the events of the day. He explained that the success of the day was all the more gratifying in the light of the general call today to, not only basic education, but also to an education which stresses the inculcation of those social, moral and religious values taught at home. "Perhaps", he said, "today's registration can be seen as a show of confidence in the school by, not only our present members, but also by those newly introduced to the system."
