WHITBY And DISTRICT Whitby Bureau Office 111 Dundas St, West Manager: John Gault Tel. 668-3703 UNITS, GROUPS, AUXILIARIES Whitby 'Unit Program' System Satisfactory Eager Public School pupils in Whitby won't fettered by the conventional grading system. The percen of the town's achool chidren in the first eight grades now stud) under the Unit Acceleration Program" (178 «per cent) exceeds Provincial figure by 6.8 per A tthe 35 out-of 202 grade eight Whitby pupils studying under the program since its 16val inauguration seven years ago have attained an average of 76.8 per cent to date this year, revealed Public School Superin- tendent Earl Fairman. He deem- ed results of the system as "Generally satisfactory." The 'Unit? system adopted in many Ontario 'centres in recent years was described by Mr. Fai years was described by Mr. Fairman as 'Progression ac- cording to the individual capaci- ties of each child," "The child misses no school- work while following this plan. The studies of each primary grade are divided into a maxi- mum of four units, and each child proceeds at his own speed, completing one to four units, in a given year, according to his rate of advancement." "The only real acceleration comes at the end of the eighth grade, when the child working under the unit system will have completed eight normal work years in a seven year period. Average age of Public School Graduates is about 14; grade eight pupils presently working under the system are aged 12 or 13." Pointing out that a large ma- jority of the pupils in grade eight this year had easily at- tained passing grades to date, find their progress |p! the|would be compelled to repeat he added that more fiexible| ro 4 was made under the system for. failure. "Some children may progress rapidly one year and(then reach a plateau, falling by the way- side the next." "Formerly, a child who failed the work of the entire year. Now each child proceeds at his own rate, by units, and never fails a complete grade." "There are other advantages to the system. In many cases a child° would perhaps loose in- terest in his schoolwork if held o the normal rate of progress. his program formulates a challenge to the more advanced pupil, one which we hope will continue through high school." He explained the basis of sel- ection as follows: 'In each fo the primary grades, the class is broken up into two or three reading groups. The more ad- yanced group in each class is observed for possible candidates for acceleration, The final deci- sion is made on the basis of gen- eral intelligence, work habits Course Planned By St. John Ambulance The Whitby Corps of the St. John Ambulance will conduct an eight week-course in first aid instruction.
