The Parents Committee of Hardington Public School were very gratified with the response to their Movie Saturdays. There was a capacity turnout March 11.

Paul, transferred from Downsview Heights to Elia Ju- nior high as vice-principal. - The typographical error is a slip- pery thing and sly, You can hunt until you are dizzy, but it somehow will get by. Till the forms are off the presses it is strange how still it keeps; It shrinks down into a corner and it never stirs or peeps. That typographical error, too small for human eyes, Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to mountain size. The boss, he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans: The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans-. The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be, But that typographica1 error is the only thing you see. On Thursday last, Hardington Public School held Open House. Mrs. Erna Rowe, told of her experience with the Continuous Progress system, Basically, this means that there are 12 divisions in a group of three grades. While the average student can progress through these 12 steps in 3 school years, some gifted child- ren can accomplish this in 2 years, while some require 4 years. Under: the continuous pro- gress policy, each individual goes through each step, in each sub- ject at his or her own rate. There is no stigma of failure for the slow learner, and there is no boredom for the bright child' who can progress much more quickly. This approach to education will mean considerable adjustment for parents and teach- ers. Get well wishes to Mrs. Per- cy Miller, of Harding Avenue, who has returned home from hospital, and to Harry Darling- ton, of Harding Avenue, who is a patient in Humber Memorial Hospital. Also to Ken Folliot, of the Maintenance Staff at Hardington Public School, who is making slow, but satisfactory progress, in the Humber, EUCHRE AND BRIDGE . . . on Wednesday, March 22, 8 pm. at Brookhaven Drive Public School. -i" R. p."
