Employers who demand high Icndemic qualifications for posi- tions which can be filled by second- try school students were charged with minding their country's growth at a Weston Board of Education meeting last week. The charge was laid by Trustee Harvey Higgins who stated in ‘a pretuntrle to a resolution that. a strong undemurrent of segregation and holding back of advancement based solely upon the worker’s academic performance was limiting industrial potential. It was decided at the last meet- In; of the Board of Education to delay the announcement until the old stationary supply becomes de- plated. The depletion will then make evi- dent a deletion for the last three words of the present name are, to be dropped and the school will be- come known as the Weston Cob.

Mr. Hose saw these two items while on convention in Milwaukee with the Department of Audio- Visud Instruction and believes they would be beneficial to the Weston School system. A earrel, Mr. Hose explained, is a booth which provides a student with work space and visual isola- tion. In this booth it is possible to have a tape player, closed circuit television, or I teaching machine linked to u computer. The resolution required the De- ptrtment to set. up an agency to restrain firms from making exces- sive academic demands by screen- Audio-Visual Aids For Use In Weston Charter president Md u tlard was. the cheque to Lion John Phelan . h repre- unting the Humber Memorial Hobpitnl Board.

Another advantage is the number of topics available (2,000) which permits the individual school ‘to build up a library and " a reason- able cost, Mr. Hose points out. The teacher is then provided with an immediate facility and does not have to wait until $1 film arrives from the PtxMneinl Libnry. The single concept film idea in- troduces plum: cartridges loaded with a single loop of film which does not require threading; the teacher merely inserts the cart- ridge and turns the "on" switch. An added advantage is that they are protected from finger prints and dust as they remain inside the cartridge. ing applications and levying th business tax against excessive offenders. No other member of the board considered the resolution walkable. However, another resolution sub- mitted by Mr. Higgins met with more favorable response. It con- cerned adult training courses which are not as yet certificated. permit individual students to listen to taped material. Copies of tapes from the Teaching Aids Centre could be deposited in the library for their use, he said. This resolution asks the Depart- ment of Education to set up certi- ficaited night school similar to the commercial and technical day school courses now available for the purpose of upgrading workers. The board agreed to submit the resolution to the Sunnis.

Mioeli m driving I which with on MMJJIom-m The motion, which adopted I policy of noet-publiention of promo- tion and examination results for all trades except 13. was based on I recommendation submitted by the Ontario Secondary School Head- masters' Association. This recommendation urged boards not to publish any infom- tion on examination and promotion results other than the winning of Icholnrships and awards. The prin- eipals contended that publication in the local press often resulted in unfair criticism and comparisons, also, that such information was the concern of school authorities, par- ent and students only. The discussion was brought to an end by Mr. Bayes who asked for a show of hands first on the amend- ment and then on-the original mo- tion. The subsequent display re- vealed a split. T Trustee Norma Lynes who moved the policy of non-publication as outlined by the headmasters' asso- ciation, could find no seconder for her motion. Trustee Michael Me- Donald seconded the motion at a previous meeting but withdrew his support when objection was raised by Trustee Howard Ashboume who felt the public was entitled to know; and that the recommendation was a form of censorship. Trustee Ronald Christie, absent during the band's-first debate on the issue, indicated a willingness to second the motion if it were amended. Mrs. Lyme: expressed no please ure'. "I see no purpose in the am- endment. They usually know how others are doing. I would prefer a seconder for my original motion," she said. "What's the point of publishing names without results," replied Mr. Christie. "Students have a natural curios- ity to learn how others are doing," he said, "but Pd be in favor of the motion it it is amended to read: non-publication of examination and promotion results for all grades except 13." Asked if he was prepared to support the motion this time, Mr. McDonald replied that he could see no harm in publication. "Students have an honest Iegiti- mate interest in how their col- leagues are doing," he said, "and I cannot see why publication should be stopped because of a few nosey ones who might misinterpret.” In an Mtort Jo, compromise, Trustce hartairiii, asked C. w. Christie, principal of Weston Col- Ieginte Institute, if the names could be published without results.
