" teacher-school board disputes » An adjudicative tribunal to settle teacher-school board salary - disputes is recom- mended in a report released by Education Minister Tho- mas Wells last week. The recommendation was made by a Ministry of Education ' appointed 'com- * mittee set up in November of 1970 to study the question of teacher-school board salary negotiations. ; The . committee recomm. ended that both teachers and school boards have the right to refer the matter to the tribunal should negotiations become deadlocked. The tribunal's findings would be binding on both parties. It proposed that the tri- bunal be composed of a chairman, one or more vice-chairmen and a number of part time members who would be appointed by the Government on the advice of the Ministry. The tribunal's members would sit as boards of one to review cases referred to it. The committee strongly recommended that all areas in' dispute, exclusive of salary and other items of compensation, such as pro- fessional duties and educat- ional policy, be settled by a consultative process. This would begin. at the school staff level, move through an area advisory committee and finally to a school board advisory committee com- posed of teachers, trustees and ratepayers. The school board advisory committee is now permitted under the Schools 'Administration Act but the committee recom- mended that they be made mandatory and that their role be strengthend. RESEARCH BUREAU TO SUPPLY INFORMATION The Committee, known as the Committee of Inquiry | Of Facts and Fantasy By Reta M. Berrill If Dreams Were for Selling Having reached the beginning of that last phase of life we don't daydream of what lies ahead but rather, spend time in retrospect and introspection. Thus we sum up the total of dreams realized, dreams shattered and dreams dreamed too late. Then we ask--was William Shakespeare right? "There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will." While growing up, our dreams were secret and private things. People who belonged to our way of life seemed destined to be plodders, and we'd simply have to obey and take orders from others. There was little . chance of higher education and sometimes only hope, - |' for a smattering of the elementary. But we discovered + 1 early that, we could manipulate those menial +2 ,ks without a great deal of thought, leaving most of our mind to galivant at will. So we Hitched Qur Wagon to a Star. : : We struggled to accept what seemed, a multitude of handicaps--inherited and acquired. But in learning to cope--actually achieved the makings of some of our dreams. Those dreams were simple. We asked for a better way of life. Not Pots of Gold or fabulous clothes, a fancy home nicknacks of any of the thousand things that could be taken for granted. We wanted, first of all--just a chance to learn. We wanted books -- stacks and stacks of them--showing signs of much use. We wanted soft lights and quiet music, fine china and, silver gleaming on a white cloth. We wanted conversations--bright and challenge but free of malice. : We wanted clipped hedges and rows of flowers and the scent of lilacs after a summer rain. Trees to encourage bird-song. Long lines of snowy wash drying in the sun, little prayers to be heard and said at bed-time. We asked for a few pictures on our walls depicting the different seasons, and firelight from an open hearth. Cosy furnishings, nothing lavish, and delightful odors oozing from the kitchen where a red geranium smiled from a window-still. Then, and most of all, we wanted someone to share this. Someone who could take us with all our inadequacies and make us feel important. Someone who would stand behind us with his hands on our shoulders and be awe-inspired by a winter sunrise. Or, take time to watch Old Sol desert the sky. We hoped for a few friends--like old trustees, with whom we could have a mutual understanding. Friendships free from pettishness, jealousies and the constant striving for material things. Friends who'd laugh with us and, cry with us when tears must flow. And these are essential too. Now with world conditions having changed so greatly, the longed - for things of our life are accepted without question. Education there for the taking, and a library nudging our own door-step. But, perhaps appreciation was born of struggle, and the higher the price-tag the more to be desired. We only know that, if given a rerun of life with a choice of its many roads to be travelled, we'd select again the simple way. To include the miracles of nature, a handful of loved ones whose lives we could share, and remember that * 'Tis always morning somewhere in the world." So, if dreams were for selling, what would You buy? Into Negotiation Procedures Concerning Elementary and Secondary Schools of Ont- ario, also recommended the establishment of a Profes- sional ~ Research Bureau which would supply infor- mation and data to school boards and 'teachers in- volved in salary negoti- ations. The Bureau would also provide the same infor- mation to the tribunal should the dispute fail to be re- solved. « The Committee recom- mended that the Bureau should be under the direction of a joint committee on research composed of five teachers selected by the Ontario School Trustees Council. The operation of the tri- bunal and the Research Bureau would be financed by the Ministry of Education. The committee took as its basic concept that conflict in teacher-school board rela- tionships should be and can be virtually eliminated. The committee noted that the history of relationships be- tween teachers and school boards in Ontario has been characterized by "truly re- markable rapport". The- committee stated that this is the ground on which further development must be built. The Committee stated that if the joint negotiation pro- cess is to be effective, the provincial government must accept the fact that Ontario's (continued on page 20) Scugog New For those who have reser- ved tickets, please don't forget the turkey supper at the "Head" Memorialchurch tonight. ; The "Head" U.C.W. will meet Wednesday evening of October 4th at the home of Mrs. Irene Carter.
