A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and -Manager, NotFolloing Po;qlicy A memiorandum of policyr from the Hlon. W. G. Davis, ' inister of Education for Ontario, to the Public School Con- sultative Committees regarding larger units of administra- loin and dated December 28th, 1964, rnakes one wonder hwthe Northurnberland-Durhamn Consultative Comm-ittee îand aise the Department of Education can approve the nuligprogram of the Ciarke Township Area Public $chýIool Board. The miemiorandum makes this statemient, "It is also ti-e poliicy ai' the Departmnent to encourage the cstablish- rý cnt and operation of fully graded sehiools.witb- enrolments of at least 300 pupfils." This is a clear statepmcnt of -policy whîch appears locally to have littie meaining. The local con- sultative Comimittee la given ýtheir approvai to two-room additions to threýe itwo oom schools plus the construction of a new eight-roomn schooi. Thé one tworoom â-addition and' the n-ew v8 room ehol Kirby, are about four miles apart whýich in this day and age is relativeiy close. The, prese nt programi, excluding, any gymn accomnmodation for the cight- -room sehlool in Orono, wil provide four gyms for a student eoletof eight hiundred pupils and excluding Oronio for six hundred pupils. Surely this alone miust be a costly ser- vic:e at an initial capital cost of over $20,000 per gymi or one hundred dollars per student. It was stated at the last board mneetingI that the eight-rooma school in Kirby is being built to replace the present oero schools. This is fine but it does not go, frr enoughl.Thebuildiing" programi should, we believe, be one of a(ccommiodatiîon and aiso one of upIgading our education- al systemn. No plan appears to exist in the latter and this was most obvious when it wasý statedI that presently there appeared no answer- for the Orono situation. This1 is not good enough especially when it involves the education Of our children and also) thousands of dollars in capital con- struction and future maintenance' and busing. Aý plan should exia to cover ail areas 'of education. The Departmnental memo randu-m as states that, ,A sehool system wlth an avecrage daily atteadance of 300 to 1000 makes possible fully-graded elemcintaryv schools. A fcw of the larger systemns mav have senior sehools operatedl on a part-time rotary basis,' and part-fime classes in special subýjets are poissible."ý Clarke Township's daily ttendance must now be at least 750 which brings it close to the top -f the 300 to 1000 bracket. Darlington Township in its program, has constructed a senior public school with new educationial featurés. Peter- borough111 County public schools are offering11 additional eo.çurses ilutdingÏ industrial art and home econlomics. Dr. Andrews, headl of the Division of EduItcati;oni Admiô_nirstration, Ontario Institute for Studi!es ln Education, in a recenit address stated that centralization (larger scliùools) provided better teachers, enabled graded classes aknd eveni suh-divisions Within grade grouping, provided goodsuoperVision, made teacher ia-service edu4lation feas- ible, andi also provided opportunity for special services to piupils such as gifted, retarded etc. Where do we stand in present-day education? There is no doubt that we need more accommodation but let us maoketihe project a two-fold project and add soine economy at the samne timie. otice To Residents of Orono and Clarke Township -Fire Emergency Calis hi. reporting a f ire dial the Fire Emer- gency Nýumber ,as istýed in your Telephone BROIk under 'Oronq Fire Departnient' 9 ~ 53 0 Usethsum r for reporting fires ONLY as t st-f a special alarm,.
