Petitions carrying some three hundred names was sub- mitted to the board in favour of Kindergarten for children of the area Only one member of the Board volunteered to sit on a committee to further study the implementa- tion of Kindergarten into the school sy$tem. This came when the chairman of the Board, Mrs. H. I. Barlow, asked for volun- teers to make a further study of Kindergarten for the area. Mr. J. Stutt volunteered to sit on the eommittee and stated that with the number of interested in this service that it should be studied further. He also pointed out that Kindergarten was not compulsory and parents did not have to send their children to such classes if they did not wish to. "It is in- cumbent on us to do something," he said. "We could get lists of students and where they might have to be bussed. We could at least try," he said. No other vol- unteers came forth for the com- mittee from the Board. Mrs. Wm. Armstrong Sr., pres- eited a petition to the Board re- questing the establishment of Kindergarten, in the area and speaking of its value to the child- ren. Mrs. S. Sawyer asked why this area had to be behind other areas who now have such services for their children. Mr. Greenwoad stated that they now had approval for the General Purpose room at Orono and would not like to jeopardize this building by now asking that it includée other additions. "We don't know if we could get approval", he said "and it might delay our plans for the General Purpose room in Orono. Mrs. Sawyer asked how they know if they don't try. She also suggested that the kindergarten could be set up in ther locations by using the general purpose rooms a part of the day and poss- ibly the Library room in Kirby would be a classroom. At this point Mrs. S. Winterhelt said that it was most important to have a Lib-ary in a school and felt that such should be established. Mrs. Barlow stated that the Superintendent of Schools had said that after this year the new Board would be placing Kinder- gartens in the area as Clarke did not have such services for their children. "We will have kinder- gartens in a short time" she said. When asked how long this might take she said she could not say as it would be up to the new Board. Further Mrs. Barlow said we are a depressed area and that we would take a bit of a beating - "We will have to pay for those that have this service but they in turn will have to help pay for pur negligence. Mr. Greenwood stated that the Clarke Board would be recom- mending Kindergarten to the new Board which will take over on January 1st, 1969. Also he said that a lot of study would have to go into setting up of Kindergarten. as there were from 125 ta 130 stu- dents of Kindergarten age in the area. "Where would you set them up?" he asked. A lot of study would have to be made for the best of everyone, he said. He also asked if the parents were going to use it for their children. To this Mrs. Sawyer stated that 300 parents had signed a petition for kindergarten and how would you know if you don't ask, she said. Mr. Greenwood also said that bussing kindergarten children would cost the Township a great deal of money to fix roads for such a purpose. Mrs. Sawyer ask- ed what difference there was to the bussing of grade one students to that of kindergarten students? Some in the audience referred to the cost of including kinder- garten classes as too great. Here it was stated that at the begin- ning of the year it would be hand- led by the whole area and that those in Clarke Township Would be paying for kindergarten in other areas. James Lowery said that he was old fashioned enough to believe that the place for the child was in the home.
