R. S. BISHOP KEDRON -- At a meeting of the Kedron Sunday School work- ers at the church on Wednesday evening, plans were made for the Christmas season, the busi- est part of the year in the Sun- day School. Because of the size of the Sunday School, and the small space available, there will be a separate Christmas party for children of the Cradle Roll De- partment, and pre-school chil- dren of the Sunday School on the afternoon of December 16. On Wednesday evening, De- cember 20,. beginning at 7.30, there will be a Christmas con- cert for all the other children of the Sunday School. White Gift Sunday will held on December 10 at church sérvice. The Sunday School offering on December 31 will be given to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The annual Sunday School meeting is to be held on De-! cember 13. Mrs. William Woodward ask- ed that her class be divided, as it if much too large to give the children individual atten tion.

R. Frink of Belleville, re- corder for the group, said after hearing the pros and cons that he was convinced the problem was insoluble. So many valid but conflicting arguments were presented that he did not think a program satisfactory to all re- ligious groups could ever be di- vided. HITS FRENCH METHOD The present method of teach- ing French to high school stu- cents was criticized by Ray- mond Gagne, a French teacher at Trenton High School. He told 'his study group that the Grade 13 French examination in par- ticular was "pure nonsense." It ignored the primary purpose of language which was to commu- nicate meaning. Gordon Wilkinson, an English teacher in Copper Cliff, told an- other that the Gradé 13 English curriculum shifts the emphasis from the real purpose of teach- ing. There was a tendency for new teachers to restrict the course to exactly what would meet departmental examination requirements.

He said religion was not the respon- sibility of the school. CRITICIZES PARENTS A Windsor delegate, R. C McIntosh, said parents have ab- dicated. many of their respon- sibilities in educating their chil- dren. Both parents and the church leave too much to the school. "Many youngsters tell me they don't expect to learn about sex from either their parents or the church," said Mr. McIntosh. They feel they will learn the facts of life either from their. teachers or from their friends." G. §. Kidd, a public school principal from Etobicoke Town- ship, said he felt too much pub- lic emphasis was placed on the rest results. of Grade 13 exam- inations. Published lists of results led to a persecution pattern, said Mr. Kidd. The examination was a big hurdle ahead of the stud- ent at the end of his secondary | school education. E. A.
