He pointed out that the board had established kinder- gartens throughout the area as well as establishing out- door education centres, re- medial reading program, aduit counselling service which is held in Bowmanville and well used by citizens in the area. He spoke of the pilot French Kindergarten course now in oper ation in Cobourg but stated that he has mixed feeelings about this at this time. In this matter he said parents were having their children attend both french and english courses and it appears that parents were not that sold on the french course.
