Park o. the Horne and School Associa- ti0h welcomed the large re- premetatian of fathers attend- zIg the Fathers' Night meeting Ini Central Public School last ,,JWednesday evening. Feature of VIthe program, which probably eflcauraged many of the men to attend what many erron- eously think of as a female or- ganlzation, was a panel dis- CUiJaOn on educational pron- lema b y members of the Bow- manvule Kinsmen Club. This was the second trne the Kinsmnen have given a prc- gram fer Home and School, their panel discussion being so Popular last year that they were invitd to return by Mrs. B. Milne, program convenor. ]Paniel personnel was different this time however. Chaired by -Lionel Parker, Kinsmen presi- dent, other members were Keith Lathangue, R. MeDon- aid, H. Brooking, Lloyd Pres- ton and Clarke Wilson. In welcoming the Kînsmen and .other men attending, Mrs. Park stressed that Home and School has a purpose, to pro- mate understanding of schoo] problerns, particularly through contact between parents and teachers, and is flot just a so- cial night. blore Discussions This point came up also through a question which had been presented to the panel, as ta whether the Home and School Association had a con- atitution, and if it was serving the purpose for which it had beon organized. Chairman Parker said that this was. rather a difficult question to answer, particular- ly for members of the panel who onîy came to Home and School on Fathers' Night. He said that the person asking the question had attended a meet- ing last year featuring discus- sion groups and thought it ex- cellent. This person thought there should be more of this type of program which was very helpful. Clarke Wilson wha attended last year agreed, and suggested that such a meeting would be a good idea atter each report card is sent out, that is three times a year. This suggestion brought sorne groans followed by laugh- ter when Mr. Wilson said ser- Oshawa Nomorial Service SNatural atone monuments markers and corner atones Ne 2HIGHWAY B. 0F CE LINMS Dial OSHAWA RA 5-6611 anj Urne and reverse charges ýf iously, "I wotldn't go 'to the teacher alone. But in a group I think this opportunity of dis- cussing problems is fine." Panel members and audience tagreed that such programs f were a fine thing. Mrs. Park, eHome and School president, in- ivited them to attend the meet- .ing which ie' planned for Feb- Sruary on these lines. Slow Learners The question, Do you advo- cate classes for slow learners, resulted in divided opinion on the panel. Clarke Wilson thought that a class for such pupils where they might get extra help for a couple o! months, then return to their regular class, would be a good idea, but would involve extra teachers. Lloyd Preston said that such pupils used to be helped after four. Keith La- thangue 'thought that it was flot a good thing for a child to be picked out as a slow learner. Question of xhether there should be more teaching along Domestic Science lines such as sewing also resulted in divided opinion. Supervising Principal A. M. Thompson explained that sewing is taught in a limited way in the three senior grades but that there was no real Home Economnics course. Girls received one hour a week on this type of instruction, boys a similar time in craft work. Mr. Thompson was asked if more time woi.ld interfere with other subjects, and he replied thatt the time would have to corne off somewhere, but that many schools had a course of l1'ý hours a week. Howard Brooking thoughtc that academic subi ects were more important, and Keith La- thangue agreed. The latter thought that more of this should be taught at home and also later on in high school. Ron McDonald said that one hour provided a break for pu- pils but that was enough. Attendance Aquestion which seemed to reflect a good deal o! feeling pro and 'con both on panel ands in the audience was whethert attendance badges should be given. for perfect attendance. Some persons felt that this en- couraged a child to attend school when he was Mi and should be at home. Others r thought thîs possibility negligi-s ble and that the incentive pro-d vided was good and also gotC arounid the 'playing sick'S which children sometimes dob to get odt o f going to school.ii Mr. Thompson pointed out that it was one reward forq which any child was eligible t( regardless of abiity, but saidv that if the time should came ti when it was felt many child- ren were attending because of Ir the badges who should really a be at home, they would be a abolished. t Mrs. Bill Buckley from the di floor pointed out that accord- 01 ing to law every school age Ir 9 Vitamipne + 12 Mnri ir 0E aly ablet? to guo.rd >Our sxi" diet New~i PLENAMINS/j 1Family Bottle of 72 1(1/ mon tha' supply) AS ONLY $)/.79 1 1-2 LITTrLE 1 AS 6eî ~A DAY1 Bottle af 36 (5 weeks' supply) ONLY $2.59 1 Giant Bottie of 144 (5 months' supply) ONLY $7.95 imw de SUPER PLENÂMINS CONTAIN 9 VITAM.

"To what extent do yau bo4 lieve a teacher shauld disc pline a child?' waa anathe question which provoked con siderable discussion. Mr. Wl son stated tha.t he expectec and wished, the teacher to dis cipline his child ta the limit even ta strapping him twice day if he should need it. Keit. Lathangue suggested that dis. cipline begins et home, aný that was where the largeat pari should be done. Lloyd Prestor said that where the uine i drawn should be left with th4 principal and staff. Suiervlaor's Job A question bnought Up wai whether a supervising princi. pal should teach ýany subjectà in schools. Howard BroakinM thought this job should in. volve stnictly supervision and no teaching. Mn. Thampsori said that the year before he had no teaching classes, bui this year was teaching art in the three senior classes. He said that schools were like any other large organization, every- one could not be on a machine, someone bas to be responsible for something other than pro- duction. He pointed out that il classroom teachers were want- ed, they could be engaged at lower rates than prevailed for principals. Wbether examinations should be set by teacher cf the chass or the principal brought divid. ed opinion. Mr. Thompson ex- plained that present -procedure is for teachers to set their own tests, since they know besi what bas been taught, but thal there were occasional unilorni tests given,. planned by a]] teachers together, so that il certain teachers' standards were lower than others, this would be noticed. Savings accounts, in schools and rotation of teachers were other questions discussed. The program aroused much inter- est in the large audience, and some joined in fromn the floor from time to time. The pane] memrbers were thanked for a fine program by Mn. Harry Hughes, to wbich Mrs. Milne and the president added their appreciation. Draw Wlnners Parent - Teacher's count re- sulted in these winners: Cen- frai-Mn. Kennedy and Miss Carruthers; Ontario Street - Miss Couch; Vincent Massey- Mrs. Symons. Special draws for the men present were made by Mrs. Sy- mons with winners being J. El- ston and M. Vetzal. The presi- dent announced that Maple Grove had formed a Homne apcl School Association and mem- bers of Bowmanville club were invited ta attend next week. Mr. Thonipson answered a question from the question box, to which, aIl members are in- vited to contribute as offen as they wished. This question was, ; Why are children not allowed nto the new school before 9 a.m.?" Mr. Thompson said that at 8.45 they are allowed to go ao their class rooms on wet days in ah schools. He pointed out that' there were no base- nents or auditoriums te -accorn- nodate children in the new schools, and unged parents not o send children ta school too early.
