THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1951 THE CANADIAN ~TATI~MAW~ ~flWLf A? ViT T .W.~ ~7T'1'AWTfl - 'B A P~U School Curriculum Development Is Discussed by Educators in Toronto Some 230 educators. parents and athers interested in the ad- 'vancement af educatian in On- tario attended a conference in To- ronto last week at which consid- eratian was given the problems and opportunities related to school curriculum development by local authorities. Publie Schools Principal An- drew Thompson attended the con- vention and reports the handling of discussion groups particularly *' mpressive. Besides sehool teach- -ers, dcpartment officiais, trustees, ~ok publishers and lay people om home and schooi clubs were nm hand. The conference was the first of its kind ever held in Ontario, and a permanent organization to be known as the Ontario Associ- ation for Curriculum Develop- ment emerged. Next ycar, the conference is expected to cater to a larger number of delegates. Ontario's new Minister of Edu- cation, Dr. W. J. Dunlop, attend- ed one of the general sessions ad- drcssed by Director of Eduication, Dr. J. G. Althouse. "Some Edu- cation Objectives," was the titie of Dr. Althouse's address. Porter Plan Principle One of the provisions of the so- caled "Porter Plan" for educa- tion in Ontario, announced by former Education Minister Dana Porter ncarly two years ago, is that a portion of the responsibil- ity for school curriculum develop- ment will rest with local au- thorities. Since that time, a great deai of work on curriculum Planning has been donc by variaus local groups. The purpose of the recent conference and the re- sulting Association is ta co-ordin- ate and stimulate this work and pravide a medium for the ex- change ai opinions and sharing ai experience. Broken down, groups represent- cd at the conference include cie- mentary and secondary school teachers, parents, schaol adminis- trators, normal schaol masters, in- spectors, supervisors, trustees, su- perintendents, university pro- fessors, and many others. Prob- lems considered were related ta chiid growtl- and deveiopmcnt, instructionai materials, lay par- ticipation in curriculum planning, proiessionai training af teachers, adjusting the curriculum ta the world ai today Impresscd With Discussions As prcviausly mentioncd, Prin- cipal Andrew Thompson, as wel as many others attending the conference. were particularly im- pressed with the type ai panel discussion used. Instead ai a chairman ta direct proceedings, an appointed leader posed the problem for discussion and then relegated himself ta a discussing member ai the panel. In ather words, there was no guiding hand through discussion other than the good taste of panel members in controlling their rcmarks ta bni passages ai time. There was a recorder in at- tendance at each session whase duty it was ta record proceedings. There were also three "expert" members ai the panel who couid be relied upan for detailed infor- mation in the event ai a corn- plexity. These expert members wcre more praperly termed "Re- sources."

INSTALMENT - PLAN BUING FOR FIVE PER CENT DOWN No One - Third Down - Payment On Canada Savings Bonds "While down-payments on most instalment pur- chases run to a third or more of the total cost, there is one valuable commodity you can buy with an initial payment of just one-twentietil - that's Canada Savings Bonds, the best investment you can buy," G. E. Moody, manager of the Bank of Montreal in Bowmanville, said this week when discussing the new issue of Govern- ment bonds. "People who cannot afford the full cash price of these bonds can purchase them for a f ive per cent down-payment. Just $2.50 down on a $30 bond, or $5 on a $100 bond. The remainder can be paid in easy, regular instalments over the next 12 months." One special feature of the 1951 bond issue which Mr'. G. E. Moody emphasized wvas the new high rate of interest. The aid rate of 2.75 per cent has been dis- carded. Each bond bears 10 coupons at the rate of 3.5 per cent. The f irst coupon covers a period of 21 manths (equal to 2 per cent per annum). due Au-gust 1, 1953. From that date, anc coupon at 3.5 per cent is payable annually on August 1, until 1962. This amounts to 3.21» per cent over the life of the bond. Mr. G. E. TMoodv invites Bowmanville people to take advantage of this easv-payment plan by getting their bonds at the B of M. "We shall," he said, "be glad tc) assist anyone in the purchase of Canada Savings Bonds, wvhether- ior cash or on the instalment plan." Mczple Grave W.I.
