It's easier for the teacher to plek out the problem child be- cause she has other children in the class to use as yardsticks. With this in mind, 11,000 Ot- tawa public school teachers are receiving this fall, for the first time, an in - service training course on the mental health as- pects of teaching. Beatrice Wickett, head of the school board's psychiatric serv- ice, says the course will consist of two lectures to groups of about 300 teachers, discussion groups for 60 teachers at a time with a team of three psychiatric workers, and teachers' meetings led by a psychologist at each of the 52 schools. Dr. John Griffin of Toronto, director of the Canadian Mental Health Association, will lecture on child development; Dr. Wil- liam Hollister of the University of North Carolina on behavior management in the classroom. The Ontario division of the Canadian Mental Health Associ- ation will provide a kit of se- lected articles and a reading list, DEMAND INCREASES Mrs. Wickett, a slim, blonde mother of two teen-agers, says ices in school is increasing. This is partly because the teachers have provided some assistance with good results. "The requirements of the children are increasing, too.

And because of our scientific technological society, children are expected to grow up with a good background of scientific information. "They are urged to attain higher standards than ever be- fore.

Children are referred to Mrs. Wickett or one of her two part- time co-workers after teacher and principal have tried unsuc- cessfully to solve the problem. Not all the children referred have learning difficulties. Some are gifted and need help plan- ning further education. Some are merely working under their potential.

For two years she's helped plan the train and trailers that will cross the country during 1967, carrying displays of Can- ada's history since the ice age. When the train pulls out of : Victoria next January, Margue- rite will be looking for some- thing else to do. A tall, slim 30-year-old with. big brown eyes and a short Sassoon cut, she's already worked as a secretary in Europe and for the CBC in Montreal, where she graduated from university. In her job with the centen- nial commission, she's travelled Canada from the Yukon to the Maritimes, researching the his- tory and character of each re- gion. She did her research in Eng- lish and French, Her French- Canadian father was a, Cana- dian trade commissioner abroad, and the family lived in Norway, Greece, Portugal and Belgium, where Marguerite studied to by a book illustrator. DISPLAYS REALISTIC In the centennial commission home office in Ottawa, she worked with designers to plan the historical displays, which range from still pictures and historical documents to a mock- up of the hold of an early im- migrant ship, complete with soun' effects of crying babies and a realistic open-sea rock- ing motion. The train, with six exhibition coaches, will take a full year to cross the country, finishing up in Sydney, N.S., in Decem- ber. The caravans, fleets of eight 70-foot trailers, will tour towns off the railroad lines. Each region--Maritimes, Brit- ish Columbia and so on--will have its own caravan. Their displays will be identical, but a special display set up outside ie USBMEIS Wilk vou of the particular region the ca- ravan is touring. Some of the most interesting people Marguerite met in her research travels were a group of ex-sourdoughs in the Yukon. "Most of them were about 95, and some of them didn't even know how old they were, but they all said they wished they were still out on the trail with their dogs." She hopes the exhibits won't go into storage after centennial hibits can* be traded." She'd like to write her re- search into a Story of Canada book.

It wasn't long before some- one snitched Peter's knife, Franklin Roosevelt's cigarette and a lighter from a political tableau as well as a Mountie's badge. John Diefenbaker is shown with arms folded and Lester Pearson standing at attention. "We're thinking of having them done over," Joanne says, "because so many people have said they don't look like the leaders," Perhaps the most successful Ukeness is that of Governor - General Georges Vanier, shown with Charlotte Whitton in a scene featuring the late John F, Kennedy planting a tree in Ottawa. "The Governor-General was so pleased with his head he had his own barber trim the moustache." Miss Whitton appears in her scarlet mayor's mantle which she commissioned for the mu- seum from the royal robe- makers in London, She is one of four female figures, Others are the Queen, Indian poet Pauline Johnson and an anony- mous Eskimo in an igloo acene.
