Principal Quits (Continued From Page One) as the Anglican minister was in poor health and frequently unable to take his scheduled classes, and the Salvation Army minister mov- ed in mid-December. "In September 1960 the board decided to have the teachers give religious instruction. The results obtained seem to justify this pol- icy. More classroom time is being devoted, and no classes have been missed .due to the absence of 'the clergy. "More children are being in- structed. This year only one par- ent has requested exemption for their child, compared with seven in Mr. Wipprecht's class alone be- fore. "Therefore the board feels that its general policy towards religious education is in the best interests of the students and the efficient and harmonious operation of the school. "However, members of the' board who are also members or adherents of Mr. Wipprecht's church have received from him letters which suggest that the board is either being unfair to him, or failing in its duty to see that the children get proper religious education. "The school principal and staff have also been subjected to a num- ber of official visits by Mr. Wip- precht. It appears to the board that Mr. Wipprecht is taking ad- vantage of a section of the educa- tion act which was written more than 80. years ago, largely for the protection of pupils and teachers in one-room rural schools. "This provides that any ordained minister, a mayor, or member of a council, may make an official visit to a school at any time, ob- serve the teaching and speak to the pupils. "Mr, Wipprecht has, in the board's opinion, showed somewhat excessive enthusiasm in his offic- ial visits, and has, perhaps, been guilty of bad manners in that he has not advised the principal of his presence. "Tt is the opinion of the board that the majority of parents: will be in-favor of stern steps being ta- ken should this sitwation get out of hand, and should it contribute to any lowering. of morale among the teaching staff, as it has certainly contributed towards the resigna- tion of our principal. "The board trusts that this state- ment will clarify any confusion in the public mind, and explain any further legal steps that we may find necessary 'to take to preserve the harmonious and efficient oper- ation of a school, which, generally, has an outstanding record." Quaker Reformer One of the great early leaders of penal reform is Elizabeth Fry. A noted Quaker, she was the moth- er of a large family and very punc- tilious about her domestic duties. Nevertheless, she was untiring in spreading the idea 'that the chief Lobject of imprisonment should be to reform the -wrong-doer. She died in 1845 at the age of 65. Highgrade from Cobalt Library Another successful year is draw; ing to a close at your local lib- rary. The circulation has been higher, the interest more active.
