Ontario Street Public School Opens New Library Centre New library facilities for Ontario Street Public School were officially opened in a ribbon cutting ceremony at the school last week. A classroom and office were combined for the project to make room for the school's audio visual equipment and over 4000 books. One of the most enthusiastic workers on the project was Mrs. Helen Brown, the school's secretary who was given the honor of cutting the ribbon as a group of students watched. BLACKSTOCK The overall lack of equip- ment, resources and ma- terials to teach high school driver education is deplor- able..so is the lack of teacher preparation facilities. Such are the opinions re- ceived by the Canada Safety Council from a major survey of 159 school superintendents and 792 high school principals from across Canada this fall. The Safety Council was seeking data and opinions that would go towards the planning of a National Driver Educa- tion Symposium to be held in Toronto June 22-24th, 1977, and considered the 66 per cent survey returns exceptionally strong. Quebec opinions were ex- cluded from the survey anal- ysis because, by provincial law, driver education is a function only of commercial schools. 92 per cent of the principals and 91 per cent of the superintendents agreed that public high school driver education could help solve Canada's traffic accident problems. 4 of every 5 agreed that driver education should be available to all students, but opinion was more divided as to whether it should be an extra-curricular subject, and whether a credit should be given. There was overwhelming support for provincial finan- cial aid, and while most respondents (36 per cent principals, 46 per cent super- intendents) felt money should come from general funds, some supported innovative ideas like nominal additional charges on traffic fines, vehicle registrations or licence fees to be ploughed back into education of young drivers. More than three-quarters felt licences should not be given to beginning drivers under 18 without such high school training.
