jnevervshown any interest in jthe french community and al though they added a few bilin watters in reply said that dupas wont be happy unless he gets an entirely french school in georgetown and i am

he said closed mind the school board has a clo sed mind when anv request from georgetown s french fam llics comes before them he said noting that the poor attitude of the old school board has been inherited by the new county board lingual said the board is very co of the needs of the georgetown french community and realizes that biiingualism is a tremendous asset the board is prepared to lis ten to any application for a bilingual school xn the area and would support that application alters said but a completely french school creates a separ atist situation watters said the children are growing up in an english- speaking province they cant be educated entirely tn french dupas can see no reason why they cant have pa truly biling ual elementary school in georgetown replacing the un satisfactory holy cross school with its bilingual section and a bilingual secondary school lo cated at some central point in halton county no good the holy cross setup is no good dupas explained because english is the dominant lang uage and the 175 or so french students keep going over into english during play periods and other tunes when the actual bil ingual classes are not being held the french students need a french environment at school not an english one said dupas teachers discourage parents from enrolling their children in the bilingual section dupas said telling them that the sec tion is falling apart board chairman walters said that they may enlarge the bil ingual section of holy cross he said the difficulty with bil ingual schools is getting the teachers because
