Elie Tliarrir Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd 16 Bayfleld Street Barrie Ontario PAGE FOUR Parents Have WBDWDAY SEPT Ci EDITORIAL Right To Know How Education Goes The right of parents to be interested in schools and schooling is undeniable The parents have right to know what the children are being taught and in knowing what they are being taught they should know also how they are being taught They have right to know because they are parents and they have right to know also because they are taxpayers comments The Printed Word teachers spokesman seems to be ar guing that the people who provide the money to run the schools have no right to exercise an overal financial iurlsdic tion and also seemingly are arguing that parents have no right to be interested in or to exercise some jurisdiction over schools and schooling If this is the at titude perhaps the time has come when there should be enacted legislation pro hibiting teachers from organizing or joining associations What The Canadian trade union movement may hit an alltime popularity low this winter says The Financial Post The prospect worries the politicalwlngand all union leaders If the prediction of heavy winter unemployment is correct the unions could find themselves hear ing much of the public blame The scene seems set for threatened rail strike in November Observers believe Ottawa might find way to delay it few weeks Do Unions Propose This is not to say that teachers are not lustifiably impatient with busybody or ganizations or with individual parents who are always complaining that little Johnny or cute Mary is being discrimlnt ated against by the teacher Teachers are human beings Human beings who do not have to regard the wellbelng or the wishes or even the whims of other people will become in sufferable arrogant and inefficient In fact teachers as well as any other group in the community when unrestrained become insufferable All people must have regard for the general welfare and this is particularly true for groups Who are in the lost analysis employees olthc public Delinquency among teachers is not great fortunately But always there must be vigilance to prevent servants of the public from becoming the taslnnast era of the public For public relations laborrmen admit preChrlstmas strike could hardly be worse On the other hand ltwould stop the trains at crucial economic period the most effective use of the strike wen pon It is considered unlikely the cabinet will allow strike to take place Butte head it off the government must either unfreezs the freight rates or

primary and secondary ed ucational opportunities There is also is mistaken be lief in some quarters that this compulsory education is free Anyone who cares to study the report of the special committee of the Ontario Municipal Association on local school cosh presented at the recent convention will soon be disillusioned on the latter point In 1853 school taxes accounted for 39 per cent of the total mun icipal levy in 1958 local municipalities were taking up to 42 per cent of their total levy for schoolslherc was time when onethird Is fair proportion of the total levy of the taxes was regarded BOW HAS this come about The report shows that large part of the increase in school costs during the five years 195358 can be accounted for by the increased enrolment of pupils The amount spent on local school ing in relation to the number of pupils served has gone up little less than onethird in those five years There are other factors Teachers salaries constitute over half of local school costs in the province Their actual salaries have risen slightly but the bulk of this increase has occurred at the secondary school level Increased enrolment has meant the need for more schools The cost of building is high and while the report falls to provide comparative figures on this point it is fair to assume that there has been sharp rise in building costs during the period 195358 SOMESCXIOOI boards may have been guilty of gdin overboard in the design and construction of new schools At thesame time those municipalities who do not countenance centralized schools in rural areas are open to Jame criticism it seems logical that centralized school is better economic and educational proposi tion than additional one or two room rural schools in township Since the cost of education has to be met by the tax payer and indirectly by those who rent accommoda tlonln municipality it is fair to expect that they should have some say in how the money is to be spent The objective should not be to cut the cost regardless but rather to see that the best education is provided for the money spent There are grounds to doubt whe mcéo 5th Sahara and 5pm ther the parents of
