Qualify The' provincial ministry of health has a Certain books inappropriate, says trustee by Murray Moore Simcoe County Board of Education:.trustee Bruce Cumming caused a few eyebrows to rise when he gave his fellow trustees his conclusions after examining the board's list of approved textbooks. Wednesday evening the trustee decried the increase in what \a friend of his described as armpit literature. He found also a-~ book describing the techniques of good writing to be in use in only one school. His opinion was that this book should be in wider circulation, He asked why Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town was available in fewer schools' than Huckleberry Finn. He wanted to know why none of Ralph Connor's books were on the list. Cumming assailed the presence of The Stephen Truscott Story. He understood, he said, from two other people, one a law student, that it is well researched. He questioned however the purpose of having the book in the local schools. The story is too close to home and too recent. He could not understand why teachers would want to use the book now: perhaps in 25 or 50 years, as a history book, mav'ne} ' The trustee was also concerned about the showing of movies in conjunction with the reading of books. Students are not of- ficially forced to go to movies, but in practice, he said. they are almost coerced to go and pay admission. The movie of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz is, in his opinion, indecent, and he would not support its being shown again. Another Canadian movie based on a Canadian novel that he was critical of was Who Has Seen the Wind? The movie. he said, was completely profane. Cumming mentioned that he has not read either Richler's book or W. 0. Mitchell's Who Has Seen The Wind. Dr. Allen Fisher supported Cumming, remarking that the Truscott book was not literature, and that anvone who described it as such was exaggerating the concept of literature. Dr. Fisher suggested teachers put books on the list on the basis of the book's reputation. He confessed to not having a great knowledge of the sub- ject. but recommended that once a year English teacher representatives guideline, said Chief of Staff Dr. Hollister King, that only hospitals serving more. than 50.000 people qualify for an ultrasound machine. Midland serves 35,000 people. but the number is undoubtedly higher be asked to defend their choices. Area 3 Trustee Alvin Gravelle stated he was satisfied with the selection of books.
