Letter to the editor...
Dear Editor.
Agricrew 1979 has now
drawn to a close. The four

finished on August 17 and
they were kept busy
throughout the summer.
The crews worked a total

quality of the work these

"Well, we'll try the
P.A. system. A calling all
teachers announcement
We enter the hall once
more. Up some stairs and
into the Queen Elizabeth
wing. Queen Elizabeth is
a school for the trainable
retarded.
There we discover Mrs.
Georgia Schaefer, one of
the teachers. She seems
to be trapped in a giant
roll of paper. Mrs.
Schaefer had been
preparing several visual
Children are enjoying

halls of learning. Many of
their teachers, on the

busy in the classroom
preparing for their
arrival.
A Tuesday afternoon
visit to Victoria Public
School found a few busy
bodies at work' in the
freshly scrubbed school.
Finding the bodies to
begin with, was no easy
chore, however.
On entering the front
door, one is greeted by a
huge and rather
threatening floor washing
and waxing maching. A
path to the office is finally
located, but be careful to
stay of .the paper mats,
because the carpet is
newly cleaned,
A secretary is
discovered under a stack
of papers. The innocent
request for a few
available teachers is
made. The search is on.

displays along the walls
of her classroom for the
eight students in her
class, ranging from five --
years of age to 12.
Mrs. Schaefer was
finally subdued suf-
ficienty for a photograph
and the search continued.
• An informant said that
a grade one teacher was
in her room, but haste
was necessary because
the wash and " wax
machine was about to do
its thing in the hall.
Miss Marylou 'Taylor
was busy in her room
drawing charts and
putting, up a train made
out of constuction paper,
and sorting paint
brushes. Her room
seemed a bit dishevelled
because plumbers had
been working on the sink
and all the cupboards had
been emptied.
Miss Taylor expects 27
six -year-olds on Tuesday.
She is one of two grade
one teachers. Like Mrs.
Schaefer, Miss Taylor
was violently opposed to
a photograph, but she
First day at school a great
adventure for children
For the child facing
school for the first time, it
can be a great adventure,
albeit a little frightening.
It's "a whole new en-
vironment peopled by
strangers. Most children
look forward to that first
day with excitement. It's
a great step. No longer
will he or she be just a
"kid". They'll be going to
SCHOOL!
Of course, once_ they get
there it's another
question. There are new
disciplines to be learned,
new people to meet, a
whole new and strange
society to face.
What your child learns
during the first few weeks
of school will in many
ways affect the rest of his
life. His world is ex-
panding and requires a
new set of rulesto cope
with it. Perhaps you've
already walked by the
•school with him several
times. That's a good
ideal.. You are sharing
this experience. You may
even have planned to take
him to school the first few
days and meet him af-
terward.
But remember, you will
not always be able to do
that. He'll have to find his
own way one of these
days.
Duringthe next several
days think about traffic
safety, says the Ontario
Safety League. Work out
the safest route to the
school and accompany
your child along that
route to make sure he
knows it. It's a simple
thing to bring up
pedestrian safety
practices during these
walks -- obey the traffic
lights, ' cross at
crosswalks orcorners,
look all way. --s before
crossing, stay away from
parked cars, and don't
run or play on the street.
And by all means,
remember that children
learn from example. If
you disregard the rules of
the road...so will they. So
-watch your step...and
theirs.
