"Evil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing" Ener wonder what the Huron County Board oo Education staff does with t time? . A very cornprehensive report ww3 presented to the board by the. superintendent of operation, Dan Kenwell, on behalf .of hunself and his staff, Assistant Superin- tendents R. E. Smith and R. B. Allan. It is for the period Septem- ber 1 to September 29 and in- cludes the following: "During the month 44 school visits were made by the'superin- tendent and 55 visits were made by the two assistant superin- tendents. In, *addition to discus- sion, with the principals 66 class- room teachers were visited, re- ports written and discussions held with each teacher and principal. "We propose to visit each of the 130 probationary contract teachers before the end of Octo- ber. Of the 130 probationary contract teachers 68 were newly employed by the Huron County Board of Education for 1972-73. Probationary teachers would ap- pear to be of a high calibre— enthusiastic and conscientious. On the basis on one month's per- formance and one visit, 59 of the 66 observed are functioning at the better than adequate level. "Psychological Services: Dur- ing the school year 1971-72 our psychologist and psychometrist tested 341 students, held 124 parental interviews, 80 group counselling sessions and 68 teacher conferences. In Septem- ber they tested 14 students, held one parental interview and four group counselling sessions. They are currently conducting an experiment with eight ele- mentary schools involving grade 5 students in a mechanical arith- metic behavioural modification motivatipn study. "Developmental Reading Pro- gram: During the school year 1971-72 Mr. Henwood worked with an average of 230 Grade 9 stu- dents per month. In a 10 -month instructional and testing, period the average gain in vocabulary and comprehension ranged from 14 to 19 months. Remedial Read- ing programs are now underway at Clinton, Exeter.and Wingham. Mr. .Henwood during September alsp visited six elementary schools to confer with principals re tests and equipment for the improvement of reading. During , September he • worked with 157 secondary school students. ' "Speech Correction: During the school year 1971-72 our three speech correction teachers averaged 166 students per teacher .per month. kir, students who received beip ing„ 1911-72 have been exeisied from attenndance at. s rection. classes ,to :state thj8 3 in September our three teat worked with X85 students ,*,, phis is a heavy caseload. The Ministry of Education suggestsa maxiirum, case load of 150 t dents per teacher. s ' "Specific Learning Disability: During the schbpl year 1971-4 our three SLD teachers 'averag ed 79 students per teacher month. One hundred and: forty students who receivedz help dun . ing 1971-72 have been excused from attendance at .specific: learning disability classea.todhte this year. In September ' OW three teachers worked -with. 68 students each. Some of our stn. dents would appear to have prob- lems lems which would require place, ment in a class for emotiona7,iy disturbed children if such a class were available. Our chief prob= lem is distance. These. students are so wide -spread •geographi- catty as to pose a problem in aar- ranging-transportation to a cent- ral -location. Psychological per- sonnel will this fall term attempt to positively identify those chil- dren who are emotionally dis- turbed and we will then presenta recommendation for their educa- tion program. In jurisdictions where classes for emotionally disturbed have been established,' the maximum enrollment recoins' mended by the Ministry of Education is eight. "Attendance Counsellor: During the school year 1971-72 our Attendance Counsellor sub- mitted 103 reports, worked 851 hours and travelled over 11,000 miles. His services cost the board slightly more than $4,500 or • an average of $45.21. per case. In September, Thomas Langihe made 29 house visits and sub- mitted five reports. He also made 44 other visits, travelled 4596. miles and worked 1031/2 hours. "Guidance Program: Our pro- gram in the ' elementary schools has the same content as last year. Fewerteachers are involved than in 1971-72 as we attempt .to con- centrate the instruction with principals and staff members' who hold Guidance Certificates. At the secondary school level we employ the equivalent of 121/2 full time teachers for 4,608 students or the ratio of one teacher, for . J every 369 students. Two years ago the ratio was one teacher .: for every 517 students.

More studentscare remain- ing for the full ,day. In June we had 29 fulj day and 17 half day students as, compared to Sep- tember when we had .39 full day and 13 half'day students. Three newly appointed. half time teacher aides have been en- gaged to replace those of 1971-72 who moved away during the sum- mer.
