__ ___ - mein Must Be Actively Involved In Setting Education Goals The students and the teach- ers must be actively involved in setting the goals of educ- ation, in planning the curricul- um and in evaluating and con- trolling the student's progress toward his goals. This was one major application to the educ- ation system that might be made from the experiences of Industrial Psychologist Dr. Scott Myers in his presentat- ion Saturday, October 10th, to 'a group of 80 Ontario County Vice-principals, Princ- ipals, Superintendents and Directors. Dr. Myers was the keynote speaker in a two-day work- shop held at the leadership training camp of the Depart- ment of Education at Bark Lake, Ontario. In the day long sessions, the speaker outlined the methods that he instituted in his work with several big corporations in the United States and challenged the assembled educators to apply these methods for creating human effectiveness to the school system. Many companies (school systems) devote a tremend- ous amount of time to satis- fying the lower order needs] of their employees (student, teacher, principal, etc.) such as wages, hours, and working] conditions, - Many labour unions have been very success-| ful at securing satisfactory agreements in thése areas but the employees still seem restless and sometimes strike without even understanding why Dr. Myers suggests that, employee inefficiency and un- happiness on -the job results from the fact that too many jobs are boring and monot- onous and. fail to meet people's motivation needs . need such as the need for mental growth, for achieve- ment, for responsibility and forrecognition of their efforts, In order to incorporate the satisfaction of these needs into the job, many managers (trustee, superintendent, principal and teacher) must change-their style of leader- ship from the "do it my way" autocratic - method to the problem-solving goal-setting conference method in which those affected sit down to- gether regularly to define and set their production goals, find ways back to meet them : together and assess their progress. Thus students who are both the "Product" of the school system and its most junior "Employees", will sit in conference with teachers and principals to set goals, develop curriculum by which to work toward the goals and assess and evaluate prog- | ress.

Representatives of Picker- ing and Scott Townships told last week's session of Ontario County - Council they will continue their appeals against the county's 1969 equalized assessment on. which 1970 taxation will be based. Despite efforts by a small group to have a clause remov- ed from the report of the finance and assessment com- mittee, council agreed to a proposal by the committee to. request the assessment branch of the department of municipal affairs prepare an evaluation of the equalization factors used in the county for 1970 taxation.

COMPARISION GIVEN - Prior to Monday's session Reeve John Williams, Picker- ing Township, = distributed sheets giving a comparison of the proposed 1970 levies for county purposes on all county municipalities. He said the figures had been prepared by the Pickering Township staff. He said.substantial increases in the levy would be apport- ioned to Uxbridge and Brock Townships as well as Pickering and Scott Townships next year for county purposes con- sidering their population. He said also the increase would apply for educational purp- oses. Deputy Reeve Norman L. Lyons, Scott Township, said he. could not see why tax- payers of his municipality should be called upon to pay $9.20 per capita more for county purposes next year, He did not feel it was reasonable that Whitby's levy would would increase $20,288.
