The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 12, 1975 3 1 1W.I. NI Thursday, March 6th, Bow- manville Women's Institute 1 met at 12:30 noon, for their annual oot luck dinner and don ans to our Treasury. We sang our Institute Grace, then helped ourselves to a sumptuous dinner of casse- roles and salads, followed by a tempting array of desserts, to which I think all did justice. 1 and Mrs. Bob Sheffield of y awa joined with us and l.er Mr. Sheffield was our speaker for the afternoon.

EWS Our President, Mrs. Dow- ney called the meeting to order and asked us to sing "O Canada", "The Institute Ode" and repeat the "Collect'in unison. She turned the meet- ing over to Mrs. Stapleton who was in charge of the program so that we wouldn't detain Mr. Sheffield longer than neces- sary. First, Mrs. Patfield gave the motto which Mrs. Staple- ton had;prepared. "The open concept system of education is a challenge. Does it make us grow? This system appears to be quite successful in Lake- woods school in Oshawa and in Orono. Two, three or four teachers share one large room and in cases where children can't cope with it, makeshift dividers are used. Teachers must plan their lessons togeth- er, children must be able to move freely but with purpose, and kept under supervision at all times. Not all teachers can, or do enjoy this way of teaching, so it is necessary to be their choice, and to be able to work with other teachers." Mrs. Amacher played two delightful piano solos and Mrs. Cryderman read "Rules for teachers in 1872." Mrs. Stapleton introduced Mr. Sheffield. He was born in Nestleton and went to a one room school in Cartwright. He himself taught one year in a one room school, all grades, and he's worked himself up FLOWER SHOP AND GARDEN CENTRE -à_Bond Street ____in S3tree 579-1118 292 King St. W.

Financing and staffing cornes under his jurisdication. In his Nestleton school days, Mr. Sheffield said he used to come to Trinity Church to music festivals. They were held one year in Bowmanville and the next year in Port Hope. What a highlight it was in the school year to attend these festivals and now this is all dropped and he wonders if the children aren't missing a lot He also questions if it is a good thing when children have to spend an hour each end of the day on a school bus. Mr. Sheffield said when a new teacher comes out of collège, they are pretty well on their own, and it means sink or swim. A principal has little time to guide and direct and once they go in and close their classroom door they are on their own. This is one place where he can see an open concept room a help. At least teachers can consult and support each other. Of ten one teacher is qualified to teach music and another maybe physical education so they arrange to work this way. Some find it trying and tougher than in a one class- room, so this depends on the individual teacher. Variety of moving around is helpful to small children but teachers have to be in control. He discussed several problems and questions asked by the ladies. On Friday and Saturday evenings the C.H.S. pro- gramme of 3 One-Act Plays was held in the Blackstock Recreation Centre. The Duel- ling Oakes was the Ookpik's presentation with the char- acters played by Phil Archer, Kathy Gunter, Cindy Van- Camp, Kathy Ryan and Har- old Wright.

Mrs. Amacher played and we sang several Irish songs then Mrs. Robbins read a oem "My Garden" written y Mrs. Agnes Burley, New- tonville. Mrs. Downey took the chair again for the- business, and asked Mrs. Flintoff to read the minutes of the last meeting and to give the Treasurer's statement. She also read a letter from Mrs. Hughes, our area president, accepting our invitation to come to speak to us at our 75th Anniversary dinner on June 5th. Parts of the letter from Mrs. Wiseman, who is holidaying in Florida, were read and wanted to be remembered to our ladies. Roll call was answered with "My favorite teacher and why." This was answered by everyone, with most paying high tribute to their teachers of old. Before the meeting closed by singing God Save the Queen, we all signed a get well card to send to Mrs. Bragg who is in Oshawa Hospital.
