Mr. Apps outlined the work of several youth institutions in California from which the com- mittee members were able to obtain helpful suggestions for their own project in Ontario. As welt as the trip to the Un- ited States the committee has visited nine Ontario municipal- ities to observe recognized areas of competence in youth work Mr. Apps said. When making the visits the members observed a number of workshops which were under- taken by citizens in the munici- palities, he said. Mr. Apps told the delegates that in the past year the com- mittee recevied 40 briefs from the Metropolitan Toronto area with full discussion between committee members and dele- gates. Under the terms of reference the plan of method of investiga- tion employed by the committee falls into four phases, said Mr. Apps.

Dr. MeNurray said that psychologists m not at variance with this practice and that he himaelt was not convinced d it: wisdom. Hia own department. he said, made every attempt to keep children out at tho segregated classes since he believed that the slower child could easily lose by being uprooted aad _detreived od, the 'taeeqttimr example ot brighter children.

Ultimately. Dr. MeMurray's opinion is not yet Widely held. But it is one that this columnist has trroitoumied ever since the inception of segregated schools for slow learners. not only on the shove grounds but because these schools make no attemnl to -erade the students in Ittendncg to a point where they can mum to the normal stream. In a Globe and Mail article published six years ago. I sug- gested we abandon this second-track philosophy and replace it with one based on faith rather than on the assumption that 1.u,'s Ire conduit and innate. Below is an excerpt from that article which I feel should be the basis of educational thought. "A basic article of faith in any free society. is belief IP. the potentinlities of human nature. If this means anything at all. :t means faith in human intelligence. Unless we have that faith and act on it, it is foolish to talk about democracy and zen-govern- ment. This does not mean that the gifted child would be penalized. 0n the contrary. faith in the intelligence of all our children sets the conditions by which the gifted realize their full potenaalitier" l, The 1th Weston Scout Troop and "he Mohawk Rod and Gun Club tare holding their International §Canoc and Kayak White Water ", Slalom competition starting this Saturday at 1:00 pm. and Sunday " 10:00 am. In Elora lGorge Park at Elora. Pathology Of Education With this thought in mind we can better consider what can be done for the slow learner or mentally disturbed child. Olr viously it is necessary to have modified courses for these chil- dren at both the high school and elementary level. But these courses should be feeders for the main track. What we really need is a remedial program that tries to overcome the child‘s defic, iencies so that he can qualify lor the regular course at the earliest possible date. A _ _ _ However. no effort is spared in the construction of these schoob. The Kingsmill school in Etubieoke for example. at a cost of $2,000,000, is spacious, luxurious and well-equipped to turn out general laborers, short-order cooks and service station attendants. None of these courses can be considered trades and all could be learnt on the job while earning a wage. So why the million-dollar emphasis? _ - .. . ' But this is far from being realized in auxiliary classes and the segregated vocational schools merely compound their deficiencies. Once enrolled, a student cannot at any time return to the regular high school and no attempt is made to take him beyond the Grade 10 level. Indeed. it has been admitted that very few even reach this grade. - _ I This will be the largest slalom lcourse and the first to have a ‘dam controlled water level. in _Canada. Twenty-six gates. 4 to 5 ‘ feet wide. will be suspended over -the rapids of the grand river for the Contestants to try and mam euver their boats through. on the l u mile long course. The reason can be found in our conscience which has promp- ted us to do something obvious for these unfortunate children and thus stem the flow of dropouts In a way, the idea is com- mendable. but it is far from being a solution, . Not enough thought has been given to the source of the trouble where lies our greatest opportunity to help these children make a proper adjustment. As Dr. McMurray said. the auxiliary classes are too easily available to the teacher who Mes not want to work with the difficult - or as he put it - "the borderline child". Dr. McMurray believes that the schools should give a great deal more thought to "matching the teacher to the child" rather than the child to the teacher. There is a world of difference in his approach and it would create a new world of hope for the child. It means that instead of watering down the curriculum or waiting for the child to be ready, schools would help him become White Water Slalom Races ready Along with this philosophy I would urge that we start with the child much earlier. If we use his formative vears constructively we shall not need to worry about his teen years. Begin at three or four years of age as they do in many parts of Europe and in the Montesorri schools. And we should stop fooling with theories. There are many reasons why a child has difficulty absorbing cur- riculum and none are constant and innate unless we make them so.
