After the chairman of the Board performed another very pleasant duty, which is mentioned elsewhere in this paper, the parents were invited gO to the respective classrooms." The pupils' regular work was .on display. The Art and Craft work in each room "was of particular interest. Parents had the opportunity to examine their child's work books and notebooks. The many displays of good writing, com- exhibited on the desks and clagsroom walls clearly showed that the girls and boys have been busily and profit- ably employed.

Parents Nig ht - Not Open Housel There seems "to have been wide spread misunderstanding on the part of the parents regarding the purpose of the gathering at the Public School last Wednesday night. This reporter along with many. others, was of the opinion that the occasion was in: fact the school's open house. In an interview with the chairman |. | of the School Board, Mr. S. Beare, he. | stated that it was published as Par- ents' Night in the newsletter that was | taken home by the students. Many parents must have done as I did when the youngster brought that letter in at noon hour--that is to listen to his account of what was to take place and not to take the time to read the letter, which was as follows: "Dear Parents: This is a cordial invitation from all the Public School teachers to you to| come to the school next Wednesday eve from eight o'clock p.m. to ten o' clock pm. We have aranged a splen- did programme in the auditorium, af- ter which, we would like you to visit the classrooms to see the fine work that your children are doing from day to day,. and also to visit with your child's teacher. We have been exceptionally fortun- ate in -securing Hon. M. B. Dymond, M.D., M.P.P,, Minister of Reform In- stitutions as our guest speaker. As a parent, as a ratepayer, as a Cabinet Minister Dr. Dymond is intensely in- terested in Education, in every phase. The guest speaker will be introduced by Mr. Storey Beare, chairman of your Public School-Board. Dr. Dymond will have a special message for the parents; we are certain that you will gain a great deal from his visit with us on this occasion. You are wel- come to bring firends and relatives if you wish." It is too bad that so many of tie children apparently had the impres- oS Robert James Brinkman and his Principal Honoured, Service Recognized Our Parents' Night, November 27, the Publje School auditorium was the scene of a unique ceremony. At the conclusion of the auditorium programme (reported clsewhere in sion that the main purpose of the evening was to give the parents a! chance to see the work on display in the classrooms. As Mr. Beare pointed {out it is unfortunate if a wrong im- pression was created in the minds of any who attended this affair, but pos- sibly it has cleared the air so that when Parents' Night comes around again 'next November we will know what to expect and be able to relax and enjoy the program prepared. The speaker of the evening, Dr. the Hon; M. B. Dymond, Minister of Reform Institutions, had a very fine message to give the parents at thiz time, and those who came prepared to relax and listen found it well worth while. It is a most unhappy circumstance that so many left home expecting to spend only an hour or so at the school under the impression that the classrooms would be open for inspection when they arrived. Open House is held in the spring of the year, in conjunction with Educa- tion Week and at this time the par- ents are especially invited to inspect the work of the pupils and talk with the teachers. Two or three classes at ing this week. The period of class- room inspection which followed the Parents' Night program was an ex- tra courtesy on the part of the teach- ers. The majority of the parents do ap- preciate the work of the teachers with their children and are eager to give them the credit for the fine stand- ards they achieve. It ig this very in- tepest in the results obtained that has 4 the present unhappy situation. We feel that in all likelihood the con- fusion in the minds of many of the parents was due to the desire of the pupil to have his parent see his work, constantly reminding him to be sure and look at the "third desk in the What parent could go home and face his youngster to admit that he had not taken the trouble to look up his desk and to ask the teacher how he was progressing? Perhaps the answer is to completely separate "the idea of Open House from Parents Night, s that there ig no chance for minum: standing. As was poinfed out in the prévicus- ly mentioned [newsletter, the parents 'are invited to jcome to the school from 4 to 4.30 any\day by appointment, to | discuss matter) relating to tie child's this issue) the Chairman of the Public i School Board of Education, Mr. Store wy "Beare, addressed the audience. Re- marking on the continuity of service riven by, most members of the staff, he referred partjienlarly to the tenure "of office of the proneipal Mr. Roy IH. Cornish. Mr. Beare reminisced a bit about Mr. Cornish's carly days in Port Perry, and recalled incidents which attested to his interest in girls and boys.

Then calling the principal to the platform, Mr. Beare presented. him with a Leautiful desk set, suitably in- scribed, the gift of the Board of Edu- cation in five years' School. In reply, Mr. Cornish, visibly shaken expressed his sincere appreciation of the Board's gift, and of the kindly feeling which prompted the presenta- tion of this token of esteem. Mr. Cornish came to Port Penry Public School in September 1931, and has held the office of Principal September, 1932.
