There are many new philosoâ€" phies and new teaching methods in our schools today. Change is rapid . . . so rapid that it would seem impossible to keep apace with the times. And it is the opinion of many that one should not even try. Leave the educa: tion of our children to the teaâ€" chers and let the parents conâ€" cern themselves with the activiâ€" ties of their children at home, is the advice given by many teachâ€" ers and parents. As a pient, however, I intend to try to keep up with what my children are doing, six hours of the day, five days a week, even if I have to get out the old running shoes to do so! The home and school associaâ€" tion could be an organization which could help parents to be aware of the schools‘ activities. After my article last week on the home and school; several mem:â€" bers of the association and the council called and gave me some very enlightening information. It would seem that in North York, the home and school are trying to communicate and understand each other â€" and the home and school association and Council are making things easier. "It was evident to me at these times, that few parents were aware of the many special departâ€" ments within our own board of education. "At my inauguration as presiâ€" dent of the North York home and school council, I pledged closer association among the home and school council, the home and school associations and the board of education. « "And so our programs for all council sponsored events this year have been with the fullest coâ€"operation of the supervisors of the departments concerned in our North York board of education. Many thanks to Mrs. Eileen Forâ€" rest, president of the North York home and school council for the following information:; "Communication is the key to understanding: Home and school association executives must unâ€" derstand that this can mean the success or failure of ‘achieving their goal. "For the past few years. I have served on the North York home and school council, and it has been my privilege to attend and assist many associations.

The decision was taken as a result of observations containâ€" ed in the McRuer Royal Commisâ€" sion on Civil Rights report that taxicab owners have been making large profits on the sale of their license because of Metro‘s limitaâ€" tion on the number of licenses. \The royal commission contends that a licensee should not be able to reap a benefit for himself by reason of the limitation. Metro attempts to keep a ratio of one taxicab license for each 1,000 Metâ€" ro residents. An applicant for a $300 license has been known to wait as long as three to four years for a chance to obtain a license. The ratio is adjusted periodiâ€" cally by Metro as the population increases.

The Ontario municipal board makes the final decision on wheâ€" ther or not the money offered is satisfactory. Sometimes expropriation causâ€" es lost tax revenue when properâ€" ties lie idle waiting development. Mayor Mould told of lost tax reâ€" venue totalling $40.000 when York board of education expropâ€" riated 40 Bicknell Ave. homes to build a new school. The board can legally take when expropriaâ€" tion faces them. You do not have to accept the first amount offered for your home. It is worth it to get a lawyer. Even though the homeâ€" owner accepts 50 p.c. of the exâ€" propriation money he doesn‘t have to settle. He can get an inâ€" dependent appraisal and make sure he gets a fair market price for his home. This should include moving costs, legal expenses and real estate fees. RCAF Downsview WM. G.
