ORON0 WEE KLY TIMES, TPUURSDAY, MAY 16th, 1968 General Purpose Room Use Tells Young PCs To )etomne Causes Heated Discussion Actvely Involued poaitic1lly Request for use of the General Purpose room in the Kendal School 'opened up full discussion in the use of the rooms and at times the discussion became some- what heated at the Clarke Public School meeting on Monday even- ing. A letter to the Board sought the use of the General Purpose roor at the Kendal School for two evenings of the week. Mrs. Barlow stated that the room was not a Community Centre and that the Board would have to put a l-alt to such use. If -t-he request was granted she pointed out that th~e room would be used by the Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides and Browvnies on Mondays, Tuesdays, WecInesdays and Thursdays of every week. In addition the Ken- dal PTA have been using it one evening a month for their meet- ing, along with every 'other Fni- day for card parties. T17 s was getting too much, she said. Mr. James Lowery stated that the people 'were paying for this room and should lie able to use it wheni it was available. He. also said that it was bis understanding that when the one-room schools were clos?,-d out and general pur- pose rooms were being built that these rooms were to beused by the community as community cen- tres. He said he had already heard that groups ih Orono were wait- ing for the Orono one to be built ta apply to use it. Mrs. Barlow and Mr. Stutt said that they had not heard7 of any such intentions. Mrs. Barlow said that the one in Orono woulId not be open to general use. Mr. Best said that when groups other than the sehool, use the premîses that everything starts out fine but pr)blems generally creep in. H1e mentioted that scuff marks were already showing on the floor of the Kendal General Purpose room. Ail members agreed that the school had first preference and that the principal should clearly understand this. Mr. Turahisky said he had no objection to the use of the room and that it was a mat- ter of co-operation. Mr. Stutt said that ecd group should first con- tact' the principal before each meeting.

The education minister, who wasspeaking to East Central Dis- trict YPC's at a luncheon during their weekehd conference on cdu- cation, said the forthcoming el- ection gave YDC's an un-aqualled opportunity' to start. actively campaigning. Theyv must not, he said, sit back andi anticipate that Piô-gressive Conservative Leader was too much and that if the school wanted the use of the rooma wheli it was scbeduled for an- otheif group that the principal could contact them stating that the sehool was going to use the room on that niglit. Mr. Turansky said no one group should have a monoý;ýoly on the room but he was in favour of it beig avail- able. Mr. Stutt said he was in favour of granting the use of the room and would s0 move. Mn.

YPC's should let their views lie known and should make a valid contribution to policy suggestions of the govertment of the prov- ince. jIgr. Davis spoke on the county board system for education and said thc prime liencficiany of the n,ew system wouid not be the board, trustees or the teachers but the youiig people within the school system. "Some boards are upset about the county boards, sure, because some of the trustees have been there for years. But this system isn't being introduced to benefit trustees." The goal, the education min- ister said, was to achieve equality in the education system for al young pe'ople in the province. 'This. is not to say the county boards will achieve this, but at least they will establish. the framework by which equality can be achieved?" Mr. Davis said- if lie had been asked 10 years ago what the basic ingredients of education were in the province he wouldf have said, "the qualificatiots of the teaching personnel and the content of the courses." "Now there is an incre.asingly important third area - econom- ics, or an administrative structure relating to the individual needs of the students. You can't divorce the economic implications of education. You can't have a quality system With- out a sulistantion economic con- tributio4i on the part of the public lie raid. The basic principle of: county bojrds was a viable unit for edu- cational purposes. A large enough unit with the economic resourées to provide a quality progr4m, was an essential nart of the phil- osop hy behind the etdeavour. "The langer boards will also move to more closely relate the urban with the rural areas." The HOPE CALLS'FOR PROBE OF~ BIG ONTARIO'SCHOOL BOARDS' Toronto- Sehool Board Chair- man Ying Hope recently called for a select committee of the Leg- isiature ta fnvestigate the accouint- ing 'and manag ement procedure of ail large school boards in Oný-, tario. His suggestion was adoptcýd as- a resolution by the Eastern Cen- trai DistiËict of the Ontario Young Progressive Conservative Associ- ation and will be sent to Educa- tien Minister William Davis. Mr. Hope was a panelist dis- dussing the rising costs of edu- cation during a two-day meeting on education, sponsored by ho- YPCs. He also suggested the select,- committee should consider coýor-- dinatinng services to save money- by endîng any cxisting duplica-- tions. The Toronto chairman alsa feit- the admihistrations had lost con- tact with the public, and that the, select committee could recom- mend ways. of keeping the public- informed on developments in edu- cation. "Boards with budgets upw-ards- of $50,ÔO'00,000 are operating ih the business sense in the horse, and, buggy age.
