In the more than 25 hours of lecture time, Mr. Page attempted to “get away from the theology and the theory of teaching" and dealt with "the issues that count." Speaking to a large group of parents and teachers on a madly night session he suggested that it Is time teachers ignore the system and become aware of the needs of the kids. Too often he said things are done to reinforce the need tor a system and the students who cen't cope with the problem that confront them are Mr. Page was also dutainhtl of the system by which madam Amity Ind .ehiemttterrtt are malted.

Office of Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. "He went unconscious, I guess, and just fell to the ice," Ralph told the inquest. The conference which was held May 10-12 at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education in Toronto com sidered several aspects of the problem of teaching children who for various reasons would be considered slow learners. We read in the paper the other day of an expert on hockey headgear that stated there is no such thing, as an accident. You don't agree with our thinking - then come up with, a better answer. ’But. don't blame politicians and stop passing the buck. More than 450 people registered for a threeday conference on children with learning problems jointly sponsored by the North York Chapter of the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. Rilph Rudisi, 15, of Exeter Street took a slap shot at an empty net just as Claudio skated behind it. No accident? Of course it was an accident, and these things will always be with us - and there will always be injury and there will always be death -- so long as two persons meet one another. But how to lessen it? Let’s rule out this false protection. Let's say if you have the ball and I'm about to tackle you, I first give a thought for my own well being. Chicken? I call it good common sense. And if I have good common sense at 45, why can't I be allowed to pars it-ortho players of 25? _ - Some of our' best sports are played without protective gear. More pads? More helmets? More taped ankles and more taped wrists? Let's start all over again. No pads. No helmets. No taped ankles and no taped wrists. If Coroner Dr. A.E. Noble was correctly quoted by the dailies - we got nothing! We received humbug nonsensical quotes such as "The safety of our young people seems a supposedly trivial matter . . . So long as we win and bring fame to our politicians, nothing else seems to matter." What politician do you know is expecting some young buck to go out and capture a cham- pioiiship forthe. glory of Pl' City Hall? We sneakily believe that the reason the good coroner eouldn't come up with a better answer regarding protective hockey head equipment - is that there isn't one. And never will be. Just so long as you put gear on kids so they can hurt other kids harder and not get hurt themselves. We expected that just possibly, something more could be added that might solve the ever- frustrating problem of athletic injuries and deaths. What did we get? Now, I ask you: When did you last go out to win a hockey game for the glory of your old controller, mayor, alderman, or whatever? Phooey! -- _ _ A A PATIENTLY we waited for the outcome of the coroner's jury regarding the recent death of Claudio Romanin, 16, of Exeter Street who was killed by a hockey puck at Lambton Park Arena, April 12.

"Uarning," he said, "ia a self process. Lecturing is not teaching. If a student wants to learn he will and it is the job of the teacher to provide direction for the learner." He suggested that the basic qualification of the good teacher is the ability to relate in a real, meaningful way to the problems of the child. There is no gubatitute. Those attending the sessions were most pleased with the conference. Many machete spoke highly of Mr. Page’s ipproadh ’to the problem facing the teacher tests and the "whole battery of others are a lot of crap." He suggested that the class- room teacher often realizes a learning difficulty in a student and recommends sessions with school Ixsycho1ogiats who merely confirm what the teacher already knows. "A waste of time," he said. -:-:-"-:-"- a: "x. y., p. ?iiibtiiir2t?Wk8.yy.i?.ii.i2.yi. Victoria fanfare As our standard of living rises, our level of nutrition is going down. We may be eating more, but our calories are getting emptier. These are the findings of the National Research Council and the US. Department of Agriculture. Recent studies completed by both organizations were described by Dr. E. Spindler, a nutritionist with the Department of Agriculture. Half the population, Dr, The Spartans, a com- pletely new team which was rebuilt over the winter, gave a show of strength last week as they defeated the Pan- thers twice, 3-1 and 7-2. On Monday night, John Delbuono scored once and Pete Eamon twice, while Bruce Gibson was the only Panther to score. Wed- nesday however, it was strictly a one sided affair as the Spartans easily. won 7-2. Tony Marchissi and Rob Bolton each scored twice with singles going to Pete Both, Paul Thompson and John Delbuono. Jim Bragg and Rick Sye scored for the losers.

This is true for the entire country, and tor the various economic groups, north and south, rural and urban. Although adolscent girls have been singled out as having the worst eating habits, young women and mature women are not much better off. Their diets, the nutritionist points out, are particularly low in iron and Roadrunners won 3-2 with a big comeback victory over the Barons. John Dodd scored twice and J. Lomoro tallied once for the winners after Jim Ritchie and Bob Nadeau had given the Barons a 2-0 lead. The Roadrunners, fresh from this great performance were upset by the pesky Alpine Meatpackers. Greg Crone scored twice and Ed Hanna hit once for the packers on Wednesday night. Jim Richardson and Pete Fram scored for the losers in this, the first major upset of the year. The surprising thing about this victory was that the Packers had been bombed 10-1 by the Marauders the night before.

The Marauders, however, had a field day as Don Cauch scored three times, John Wheatcroft twice, with singles going to Larry Fletcher, Ian St. John, Carl Flayman, Bob Lively, and Chris Newton.
