Teachers are complainîng that the IIOw high school cojurses in science and mathemnatics are too difficult for students. Since the courses are designed on the new concepts in these fields, a legitimnate question would be whether wýe are allowîng, our seh-ools to be bypassed. One fauilt may be that we'do not introduce pupils to ne,ýw scientific and mathematical approaches early enough. Ini considering the curriculum for the citizens of this srgenew world of foreshortened time and spaco, the enriier the chiang-e of focus comes the casier fhe child will becomi-e attunied to it. There is no such creature as a child tî,e young, for science. If we are to wipe o ut scientific, and mathematical ilieracy, we mrust start 'in aur elementary schools, Another f ault is the reluctance of teachers them- solIves to keep abreast of our rapidly evolving era. J. H. Rusivice-princeipal of Barton Secondary School linlHam- ltoias char-ged thiat our high sehool inistructors shy away from pdaingther training. The doctrin-aire imposition of "fýinial solutions"~ is a thing of the past, and n.o teacher can afford to maintain a closed-shiop dlefenisiveness toward the niew materials and methods. Years ago, doctors realized that unless they were hoc.spitab)le to the new knowledge and methods in. their * ithey wo-uld become incapable, of treating patients adequately, The same attitude mustprevail la the teaching pro- feso.An o)ut-datedI teacher is an unqualified one. Understlandinig, effort, an orderly approach to, the inas.s of knowledgec, a new toughness and self-discipllne witho(ut regimentation - these are the goals we set for ïtudents. Th-ey mnust first be embraced by their teachers. -Telegram Top 0f The List For '66 The month of Januiary is organization mnonth for al organizations and governmiental bodies of ail levels. It is during this time that planning for the year takes shape and the course of action charted. During the past year the Township of Clarke carried out its largest and most progressive road construction pro- gram. It will now be to the Township's advantage, and a consideration they no doubft will be taking, to consolidate the construction as far as possible with permanent surfacing. The program, instituted in 1965, with major rebuilding and construction brings a number -of miles of roads to a condition ready for paving. A structure on which community planning can be formulated was set uip in 1965 by the Township Council. Tho by-laws provide the authority in which a degree of plan- ning can be carried out. However, it appears a clear defin- ition is needed in which direction the Council intends te plan and to what'deg-ree. More is needed than piece-meal planning. Planning is, todJay, as important as is road con- The Centennial co-ordcinating Committee, if to have any usefulness, must also be organized in the immediate future. This committee has nothing to do with the Centen- niai project but' is one to create fuirther iliterest in the Cen- tennial celebrations within the Township and to croate ia- terest among other organizations. Within the Village of Orono the major immediate prohlem, parking and travel on the Main Street. Order -out apparent problemns vithin the firo departmient. Residential developmn,it la Orono tookç a slight surge dluring the latter part of 1965j and possibly somne of this was dlue to the recent mnunicipal water installation. Un- fortunately further developmient wviil be hampered due to the lack of existing building lots. As reported in our last issuie a planning report bas b-eeni received by the Village ln connIectioni with residential developmaent in an area now undeveloped. Further study should be made of this plan, with corre~ction made if neýessary and with a view of adop- tion. Encouraging residenitial developmient in the unde- veloped 'area, under a sound basis, would provide a new source of revenue to assist the rep)ayment of the cost of the water system in Ororo. Development of the area shouild flot be a cost to the ratepayers as developers construct the roads, instal the watermi-aini and other services. These are but a few municipal undrtakings but they do deserve. we believe, top billing in 196 6.
