All Departments Scope for Expression In Children's Art Urged by Supervisor & A 4 Illustrating his talk with samples of - work done by public school pupils, H. C. Dierlam, art super- visor in Toronto public school, im- pressed upon the large audience attending last night's meeting of the King Street Home and School Association the advantages of al- lowing children free scope for ex- pression in their art classes. Mr, Dierlam stressed that the ehild should be encouraged--that his picture should be accepted as haying some merit no matter how it might appear. In this way he would gain confidence and his in- nate ability would have a chance to ilourish and grow. Explaining: that art is the way man interprets his surroundings, the speaker pointed out that art is the concern of everyone, not just a few people with special talent. "We are all concerned with art in one way or another, perhaps not as producers but at least as eonsumers," he said. For this reason, he. continued, Accounts of sucial events and | of visitors to and from the town are appreciated by this department TELEPHONE 1703 R. C.

Hopkins has accepted the the aim in the teaching of art now is to give the children the | feeling that everyone can and should have ap interest in art. Their emotional reaction to art is considered more important than | all the theory they might learn, it being thought much better, for instance, for them to have the ex- perience of going out and drawing a scene than of being taught the rules of perspective. Suited To All "We are trying to make art a subject suiled to everyona in the elassroom," he told his listen- ers, stressing that everyone has an innate sense of design and everyone can vrcduce a picture of some kind. He described as "dictatorship" the old idea that all pieces of art produced by a class should be as nearly alike as possible.

Asks Women To Study School Plan "The educational picture in Whit. by" was outlined to the evening group of the United Church W.M.S. at its meeting Monday by Mrs. Frank Wells, member of the Board of Education, . Speaking of the new high school district plan, Mrs. Wells urged that all women should learn the facts and give voice to their opinions on this question. The plan, she point. ed out, could mean a radical change for Whitby. Mrs. Wells deplored the apparent lack of interest in civic affairs on the part of women here and ex- pressed the hope that there would be a change in this respect, Mrs. G. M. Goodfellow, group leader, in introducing Mrs. Wells, | said that a pertinent fact and one | which few people realized was that Russia is spending more money on education than any other country in the world today and Canada the least. Despite her gerious financial condition, Britain is planning to spend $10,000,000 more on education' this year. Mrs, Hamer thanked Mrs. Wells on behalf of the group. Mrs. Sam Peake, president, pre. sided over the business and. devo. tional portions of the meeting and, reports were given by Mrs. Finnett Sr., and Mrs. Astley in the absgnce of the treasurer, Miss Jarrett. Despite the unpleasant weather conditions the response to the invi- tation to attend this meeting was most gratifying.

City offices were be- sieged with phone calls all day Tuesday from residents who report. ed water in the cellars or their lawns flooded but with lower tem. peratures during the night condi- tions had improved considerably by yesterday. Some of the worst flooding Tues- | day was in the east part of town, with Ash Street completely cover=- ed with water dor two blocks north of Dundas Streqt. The broad lawn in front of the Alger Press build- ing on the north side of Dundas Street East resembled a lake as did other depressions in the vicin- ity of creeks, While some water remained it had sub 'ded to a considerable extent by yesterday afternoon, Teachers at Dundas Street School had some anxious mements as pupils were teaipted to wade in the water to the east of the school | grounds. In fact several fell in at recess and had to be sent home hut ny serious casualties were report- e Another trouble centre 'Tuesday was in the vicinity of Centre Street North but this also was short-lived. There was water in cellars also on Centre Street South in the vicinity of the court house. Water from the town park was also across Brock Street South. Road SUPE Men ent Fred O'Dell said there was flooding mainly be- cause catch basins and culverts were frozen, preventing the water from escaping. Evety effort is be- ing made to have these cleared, Duffin"s Creek at Pickering, perennial spring flood danger zone, was running close to the top of its banks and a minor ice jam south of the highway caused flood- ing of the road itself for a time Tuesday aftergoon. Traffic was able to pass through, however, and by later in the evening the water had subsided, Traffic difficulties of former years in this area are not contemplated owing to the de- tour now possible by way of High- way 2A. The worst flood In the known history of the Highland Creek district was sald to have o:.urred | Tuesday -"v' en Highland _ Creek spilled into low-lying land, ma- rooning at least four families and flooding roads to a depth of two and three feet. Children return- ing from school were cut off from their homes. One of the numerous foothridges spanning the creek was swept away and a concrete bridge which traverses the creek at a point where it is normally 25 feet wide, was six 'feet under water.
