Then we discovered the CBC Television display, in which we could see ourselves on a TV screen as we went by We didn‘t just go by â€" some of us stood there preening for quite some time, until father moved us along to the next booth.

He marched slowly around the Arena to the sound of his unforgettable bagpipes, followed by a small group of faithful fans, organized . by Cathy, age 6. Wally brought up the rear. "I think I‘ll be on TV," said John. "I thought you wanted to be a pilot" I reminded him. "Oh, yeah, I forgot, I guess I‘ll be a pilot."

Uniformity, they feel, leaves no flexibility for local needs. ambition, or | ingenuity. The classroom teacher practically beâ€" comes the mouthpiece of a cenâ€" tral authority. The question, therefore, arises as to whether such a syhtem does not destroy the character of the school as a human institution, and of the instruction as the impact of mind upon mind. The Director and other officâ€" | ials of such a large system | would have as much or more inâ€" fluence on curriculum of the . province than would the Minisâ€" ter of Education. 4 Also, a uniform Metropolitan ‘ system could easily influem:e) the educational practices throu | ghout the province since it would incorporate oneâ€"third of | the _ students, teachers . and ‘ schools in Ontario. A uniform salary scale might very quickly lead to a uniform provincial scale. In a centralized system, standard tends to be not highest level possible, but level more easily attained.
