Mr. Thompson was guest speaker at the club's second re.- gular meeting in the Venture Inn Motel. He discussed the ever increasing public school population and explained class- room pracedures. In a brief talk an safety he commended the club on its Elmer The Safety Elephant programme. Large Increase In Past Decade Nine years ago the school Population was around 550 each year, while the town popula- tion was 4,000, he said. To keep abreast af the sharp increases the school board bas faund it riecessary during the past nine yrears tai build an additional 20 classraoms. At present there are 34 classrooms in in opera- tion. "As long as the number of Pupils in grade one remain the lame as in grade eight, no pro- blem exists. This was the sit- uation 10 years ago when there were 65 pupils entering school a.nd the samne number graduat- ing. This year we have 162 pu- puls enrailing while there are SAVE NOW on Broad Ioom and Carpeting SoId and laid We do the complete job for you. Large clice of samples anly 100 who will be graduat- ing, Ieaving an increase af 62", he explained. Over 1,500 Pupils By 1960 The average increase lately bas been close ta 70, which ineans that two additianai ciassraoms are required each year ta accommadate new pu- plIs. "In 1949 there were five roams and a kindergarten in Ontario schoal. During 1951 it was necessary ta add four classraoms ta Ontario Street. When Vincent Massey school was Luit in 1954 it had five raams and a kîndergarten. Two years later it was nece'ssary ta build six additional roams", Mr. Tbampsan pointed out. From surveys it is possible ta estimate aur future enrolîment for the next four or five years, be said. "In 1959 for example the kindergarten enrolîment will be 212 comDared ta 162 this year, a tremendous jump. Next year's total enroilment will be more than 1,325, in 1959 over 1,400, and in 1960 above the .1,500 mark, which require 41 classrooms to accom- madate them." Pays Tribute To Board In Bawmanviile, accommoda- tions have kept pace with these inereases and we have flot had the distress of over- crowding, staggering classes, - Free Estimates Rotarians Work On Library Now that renovation plans have been approved for the Public Library building, formerly the post office, Bowmanville Rotarians have started work on this huge project. On Saturday evening, three members, armed with paint and brushes, begari the operation. They are from lef t to right: Tom Rehder, Dr. Ted Mann and Dr. Bill Rudeil. etc., experienced in many other centres. This bas been due chiefly, I believe, ta the good planning done by your public school board, which has iresuit- ed in them receiving a high de- gree ai confidence and co-ap- eration from aur Town Coun- cil and the public at large." He paid tribute ta Kînsmen Art Hooper and Clarke Wilson, who are members of the pub- lic sehool board. In commend- ing them he said "since jaining the school board, Art and Clarke have taken a great in- ter-est i Orev urk. have stead- ilv increased Ilicir knowledge of it and have given time, leadership and direction in al its phases'. Child Has Several Teachers Education is not something that just takes place between the ages ai six and the end af high schooi or college, but teaching and learning proceeds from the cradie ta the grave, he saîd, Chikiren have more than one teacher, -Mr. Thomp- son asserted. They alsa have their home teacher, piaymate teacher and cammunity teach- er. Parents and tbe ather merm- bers ai bis or bier family are the chiid's most important teachers during bis lufe. It is in the home that a child learns or doesn't learn such things as obedience, respect for eiders, manners, banesty and respect ai property. His playmates and the people ai bis cammunity are also vital teachers in so- cial behaviaur, respect ai the -law, leadlership, respect af others, bie explained. Aduit Conduet "The mast important task that can be performed by those outsîde the school, all ai wham as I said before are teachers, is ta set a high standard ai beba- viaur for the people in their community. The standards ai what is goad for a t6wn and wbat is bad, the standards ai its respect (or disrespect) for law and order, for saiety, for decency and sobriety, for reli- gion and its place in lufe, are' wbat its aduit citizens make tbem. And the children are the greatest ai imitators-much af their learning is caught-rather than taugbt", he emphasîzed. Teaching Systein Unchanged He pointed out that although many persans think the systemn and training in schaol today is different than when tbey at- tended this is not sa. "Methods of teaching are basically the same in ahl su'bjects as they were when 1 went ta school", lie said. Schois have changed and teaching bas changed and pu- puls have changed. but not as much as you would think. A pupil training during bis schaaiing vras explained ta the group and Mr. Thampson pointed ouI the many advan- tages for children in modern schoo]s. Chiidren are taught ta think for themselves and this is strcssed in ail modern schools because it gives the pupils the opportunity ta use his own knawledge and initiative ta work out bis own probiems. Safety Outslde Schaols "Safety is cantinuaily being taught in the schools", he said, "but it is auts:de the school fence where your greates- work ai safety education car be dlonc". In addition we car. heip rnake aur streets sale for pedlestrians by ensuring that there are sidewalks on ai! streets so that chiidren are not1 farced taoxvalk on roads.* We can assure that crasswalks are properly marked on ail roads. Mr. Thampson suggested eacih persan conduct a personal cam- paign to make aur streets sale. Recently a friend ai mine was standing on main streel when he saw a car zoom past four empty parking spaces. cam-e ta an abrupt hait then back up and came ta anather sharp naisy stop. This man did bis duty as a citizen and point- ed out to the driver that his hehlaviaur was considerably dan1gerous. The i ni m e d i a t e response %vas *who do you thn ou are, a policeman?" Mr. Thompson said he did not know what bis friend's reply had been. but it could have been cne af manv.

Superb Thriller Comifg Here For Three Days Royal Theatre Mon.-Wed. sept. 30-Oct. 1 & 2 Fred by a pair ai exceptional performances by James Stew- art and Doris Day, Alfred H-itchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is a superb thriller in which an ingeniaus plot, colorful and unusual bac k- grounds and an almost unbear- ably suspenseful climax attest to the skill of the master story teller. AUl the inventiveness, imagination and production wizardry that make up the Hitchcock touch are piled inta this tale of danger in far-off places. It will play at the Royal Theatre here Monday to Wed- nesday, Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and 2. Starting right out with a crash, Hitchcock introduces the film with a close-up ai the London Symphonys clashing cymbals, but its no mere de- vice.
