BOWMANVILLE,- ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th, 1953 Home'and School Hears Talk by Pr Education Change The tirst Faîl meeting ai the Bowmanville Home and Schaol Association held in the Central School, Wcdncsday evcrsing, September 16, saw a capacity turn-out of mothers, and even a few fathers. This evidence af intcrest in their children's cdu- cation, and relatianship bctwccn parents and teachers, was a cause ai gratification ta the new executive, hcaded by President Mrs. Mcl Wiseman. A. M. Thampson, Supervising Principal of Public Sehools, speaker ai the evening, gave those present much information and food fan thought in a survey Principal A. M. Thompson af changes which have taken place in the f ield ai public scbooi education duning the first hait af this century. "As par- ents, you are interested ini what is taught in aur sehools, and how we teach it," he said. Pnior ta sketebing the changes in curriculum and method, Mn. Thompson called attention ta the Home and Sehool Creed which had been read by the secretary, Mrs. H. Pick rd, and quoted Prof. S. R. Lcock, a noted educator wbo said, "The Home and Sehool Association exists in order that ileachers, an.d parents may study together problems concerning the education of children." Is It Effective At the beginning af another year Mr. Thompson thought it titting ta cansider whether the Bowmanville association is do- ing an effective job in pursuit ai these aims. "If not," he said, "ýwe are aIl, teachers and par- ents, equallv at fault." He urged parents ta make themselves known ta the teach- ers.

Touching on the changes in education, Mn. Thompson said that in a changing world he could flot canceive af education rcmaining static. The main change at present is a shift in emphasis tram teaching a mass, ta teaching the individual. Since 1937 particulariy, when a ncw course ai study was brought in, there has been mare fncedom as ta books used ta teach a subjeet. Acceleration classes arc anath- er innovation since 1937, and Bowmanville had anc af the first. These give individua] pupils who iearn faster an op- portunity ta pragrcss. Other changes have been the abolition in 1949 ai Entrance Examina- tions and a eut and dnied course ai study. Curriculum Commit- tees have been set up in many areas, ai which Bowmanville is one, to map out a curriculum for Grades 7, 8, 9 and 10. The Com- mittee is made up ai teachens and laymen. Parents' Reaction Changes cannat be brought about too quickly, Mr. Thomp- son said. Same have been tried out and abandoned as flot feas- ible. Others depcnd on the ne- action ai the parents. A lack ai adequately traincd teachers is another factor. There is actu- aliy a hîghcr percentage of teachers, but it is unabie ta catch up with the birth rate., There are 1,000 pupils in Bow- manville Public Schoois this month. Ten ycars ago there were about 550. Since the end ai June, 30 scbool age children have movcd to Bowmanvilie. The seboals were prepared tor 969 pupils, ai whom 61 wce new pup ls This was accarding ta the UTwn Assessor's figures. Known figures wiii make the enrolment 90 higher next year than this, apart tram the increase wbich may came tram families moving inîta Bowmanviile. .Mr. Thompson commcndcd the Home and Sehool Association for the educatianal trip ta Toronto provided Grade 8 pupils each year, and suggested another goad 1,,£e of,'tunds might be the pur- chase ai pamphlets and books for study, or bringing in worth- while outside speakers wha would nccd ta be paid. Mn. Thompsan was thanked for his heiptul address by Mns. Harry Hughes wha acted as chairman for the program, and by Mrs. Walter Hately, canven- or for the evening. Mrs. Hately also thanked those who took part ini the musical partion. Two graups ai splendid accordian solos werc given by Stephen Zubkavitch.

Contract figures were not dis- closed by the Dcpartment ai High'vays but it is anc ai scv- eral major contracts awardcd by Highways Minister George Dou- cett, amounting ta $4,000,000 in aIl, for work on Ontario high- ways. The prajected bypass wiil permit taster motor vebicle tra- vel between Peterborough and Torontc.. And from the point af view ai Torontanians, it wiil permit tliem ta make a faster trip ta the Kawarthas, the Ri- deau Lake area, and Ottawa. This present contract is ton grading and culverts on the 5.8 mile stretch tram the junctian ai Highways 410 and 2 just wcst ai Newcastle, ta a point just north of Orono.
