J. Finan chose when he addressed the St. Gregory's Catholic Parent - Teacher Asso- ciation at its March meeting. Mr. Finan, a father, a teacher, and now Inspector of Separate' Schools in Oshawa and Whitby, was well qualified to speak on the subject. He began by explaining the permissive regulations for Kin- dergarten children -- they may start school if five years old be- fore December 31 and the posi- tive regulations state a child must start if it is six years old by December 31. - Children transferring from one school to another were given an Ontario Students' Record Card containing all the informa- tion needed to place the child in the correct room and grade in the new school without compli- cations. "On the other hand," he continued, "children coming from other parts of Canada or foreign countries had no offi- cial records and these children were placed in grades assigned after they had learned sufficient English and an assessment of Placement & Promotion of Child their ability had been made by the inspector and the principal of the school." Promotions were made by marks from examinations, intel- ligence tests, age and whatever was in the best interest of the child. | No definite courses were set in Kindergarten so that the child could develop at his own level. "Most children are aver- age," he said, "about 70 per cent of a class is average, 15 per cent above and 15 per cent below." | Mr. Finan pointed out that) \there were opportunity classes for the slow child which were a great help to children not able to keep up in a regular class. The unit system, under trial, had been rejected by 50 per cent and 50 per cent were for it. The course of study in the unit system was divided into units Gregory's CPTA The above average child cover- ed four units of his course; the average child, three units; and the below average, two units. The gifted child completed his year's course faster than the other two. The value of the unit system lay in that the child could be watched more closely and therefore would progress at his best level. A question and answer period followed. Mr. Finan was intro- duced by Miss Ariella Germanis and thanked by Mrs. Gerald VanDerSanden, Mrs. Milo Pultz announced that the April meeting would be "Fathers' Night' with St. Joseph's and St. Christopher's Associations invited to attend. The fathers will prepare and serve the refreshments. The special speaker will be the Rev- erend Leo LeFrenier, whose sub- ject will be "Shall I Teach My Child About Sex?"
