CARKEEK, a customs appraiser, was honored recently Steady Discipline Is Needed Strict teachers maintain- ing steady discipline are appreciated more by stud- ents than the teachers real- ize, Oshawa Secondary School principals say. A recent newsletter of the GEORGE ROBERTS Canadian Teachers Federa- tion quoted surveys taken by students themselves which showed they gener- ally wanted the best educa- tion: they can get, and re- sent. anything which stands in their way. Most admitted they didn't Pay the attention they should in classrooms and agreed stricter -teaching methods were needed. "Youngsters will always respect teachers in full con- trol of the class, '"'Harrison Murphy, principal of Cen- tral Collegiate said, "just as they resent the easy- going. teacher." 'Sometimes a teacher en- tering a new school feels he wants the students on his side,"' he said, 'and will buy. that support by giving privileges and by being lenient. This is a dangerous move, for the students while they may enjoy stretches of leniency, rea- lize what they're missing and resent it." George Roberts, principal McLaughlin Collegiate "the students have of said, confidence in the _ strict teacher who is fair both be- cause he has an attitude of confidence in himself, and because he requires stu- dents: to do things they know must be done." "These teenagers have a good idea of what must be done,"' he said, "and while it is not altogether a good thing to rely on strict dis- clipline to see a job done correctly, it is human na- ture." Angus Dixon, principal of O'Neill Collegiate likened the strict teachers to the hard-driving sports 'coach who gain the respect of stu- dents because, "they realize they're going places with him", "T receive a large number of complaints,' he said, from students about teach- ers who are 'soft'. The stu- dent has come to realize more and more the impor- tance of education and ob- jects to anyone who isn't doing their job in helping them." "The pressure'to get an ex- cellent education, which can be seen in the falling drop- out rate, has _ generally given us a more serious student who will not resent discipline that is strict and fair," he said. HARRISON. MURPHY 'president of the Rotary Club of 200 Fete Eldon Kerr More than 200 personal friends and business acquaintances feted W. Eldon Kerr Friday night at a testimomal dinner at Hotel Genosha. They paid tribute to the re- tired Assessment Commission- er's "35 years of dedicated serv- ice" to the City of Oshawa.

Mr. Kerr recalled the depart- ment being housed in two bed- rooms of the old Pedlar House which stood at the northeast corner of Memoria! Park. He joined Cyri! G. Luke and Miss Bessie Farewell in 1929 to make a staff of three. Today there are 13 employees and the department has a whole floor (the fourth) to itself in City Hall. Mr. Kerr said there was only one-sixteenth the taxable assess- ment in 1929 that there is today ($253,548,000 last year). "IT have been privileged to wit- ness the great development of a great city," said Mr. Kerr, He predicted a _ solid, continued growth rate and praised the "total co-operation" ~ received over the years from mayors and councils he has worked with. In a brief interview later, Mr. Kerr cited many changes in the Assessment Act ("our Bible") during his career, "all for the better'. He recalled the days when a new homeowner could live in his house for a year before any assessment was put on it for tax purposes. He remembered when the city collected an "in- come tax" from residents, Master of Ceremonies former alderman) Walter Branch read telegrams from Evelyn Bateman (the city's first woman alderman), Ald.
