Basicaily, however, the main academic stream of education has remained throughout and stili does today. In speaking with Jack Taylor, principal at Clarke High Schooi, he notes that students now receiving secondary schooi graduation dipiomas and honor graduation diplomas do have in the majority the re- quired number of compulsory credits that will be re- quired under the new system. Actuaiiy he sees littie change as to this requirement. Stephenson aiso has called for a reduction in PD days from 12 to 9 and as well has caiied for requirement for a student to .at least write one exam each year in ail sub- jects. In both cases this has been policy throughout the Nor- thumberland and Newcastle Board of Education systemn for a number of years and will, as sucb, not be a new feature in the local schooi systemt. Late iast week neither the trustees or the secondary scbooi principals had yet received officiai documenta- tion of the changes outiined by the Minister of Educa- tion and as sucb littie comment can corne from this area. Education is, in effect, a partnership agreementbet- ween the schooi, the student and the parent. Ail parties must boid interest and some dedication to obtain the desired results. The greater the co-operative interest, the greater the resuits. This tbought was carried in Sid Rutherford's viewpoint in supporting 'contract educa- tion' where ail parties do enter a formai agreement. Irregardless of the Minister's most recent plans it stili rests with the concerned parties to make the effort to get the most out of education. A good education is more than that iegisiated. A BRIG14TER-FUTURE FOR COUNCIL The Town of Newcastle counicil has now gone througb their inaugurai meeting and on Monday of this week entered their first General Purpose Comnmittee meeting with a buiky-sized agenda. Aitbougb the generai purpose committee meeting started off siowiy this council does face a future, as far as the Town of Newcastle is concerned, witb the state of affairs in what appears to be excellent shape. They are flot faced with a deficit as was the past coun- cil wben they took office and tbey do have competent staff in place. Being in sucb a position council can con- tinue with some directions frorn the most recent counicil and as weli have the time to consider new ideas and pro- motions. This was evident in the morning session at the general purpose committee meeting when Counc. Hobbs urged emphasis on some form of industriai promotion within the Town noting that the creation of jobs wouid also mean a surge in other formns of development including residential where services are available. Hobbs question- ed becoming a bedroom community just for the sake of residential development. Some years ago municipalities endeavoured to offset residential deveiopment with commercial and industrial development in an effort to offset residential costs which in thec long termn are a cost to the municipality.
