each child has his own degree of ability And with schools now paying greater attention to the individual abilities of children Mrs Dobson believes the Simcoe County Board of Education policy of integrating mentally retarded students with regular students is working effectively In 1972 when the board first opened Portage View public school in Barrie where Mrs Dobson teaches the building was the first of its kind in Ori tario It was specifically designed to accommodate regular and mentally retarded special education students under one roof The children share com mon facilities such as the gymnasium resource cen tre and school yard They take part jointly in school activities including con certs and playdays and wherever possible the teachin program is in tegrate Richard Foxcroft prin cipal of Portage View was main proponent of the school and presented two studies to the board of education in 1970 and 1972 urging integration But the policy of inlt egration was not welcomed with open arms by the parents of either group of children at that In his 1972 report Mr Foxcroft said the parents of regular students showed lack of concern while the of special STUDENTS Of the kin dergarten class at Portage View public school took time out from their ar education class in amusic lesson When the students become older the education students feared ridicule survey taken in Barrie showed that most of the populace readily equated mental retarv dation with mental illness Mr Foxcroft said It was apparent that there was definite lack of concern for and interest in the education of retar ded children with the resulting attitudes towards mental retardation being emphatically negative in scope The parents of retarded children were also reluc tant Many of these people see total segregation as the only method of eliminating ridicule which they would fear more than the retar dation itself Mr Foxcroft said They feel that complete isolation removes most sources of rejection and pejudice to which the com munity subjects these children Public attitude was one of the factors which kept schools for retarded children isolated from the regular school system The other factor was the provincial governments policy toward education of retarded children This in cluded limited financing n0 mandatory attendance regulation and no rule requiring teachers to be specificallyqualifier This has changed now and the schooling of special education students comes under the regular school systems 37 STUDENTS So now schools such as Portage View are in twork to pay in the sand box Teachers of the in tegrated class say the academic spread is too wide to integrate all programs but all students operation The school has 37 special education students compared to roughly 400 regular studen ts The major integration in academic programs takes place at the primary level Mrs Dobson is one of two teachers involved with an integrated kindergarten made up of 23 regular students and six special education students Before Mrs Dobson brings her regular students together with the special education students she reminds her class of the differences in people She does not tell the students the six special education children are dif ferent rather that all people have things they can do well in and others things they cannot do The program which may involve art or field trip is set up to allow each child to progress at his own level Mrs Dobson said the students mix readily regular student will try to help out special education student the same way they would try to be any friend she said but she does not allow the regular students to do things for the special education students when they are capable of doingit Once the students get older there is wider spread in academic ailities so the special education students usually work in smaller groups of their own However students who show proficiency in cer tain area will be integrated with regular class and all students take part ioin students get along well with each other and are pleased when they hear the Office only clean place in the jail tly in sports and social events success of such program depends largely on the dedication of the teachers take part jointly in sports and social events Examiner Photo DEDICATION Mr Foxcroft said the who fully believe students are capable of learning And children dont share the prejudices of adults so the alienation originally feared hasnever come to pass The special education students when they graduate go on to either ARC Industries or oc cu ational courses at high so ools The principal believes the Portage View program has been success adding that many other school boards have reviewed the program and are con sidering similar program in their areas By having an integrated school he said all students have the benefit of facilities such as the gym and library and the space that would not be provided in small segregated school Through integration he said each student is an in tegral part of the school system with equal status and healthy attitudes are developed at an early age It also allows for broader range of teacher talents he said and allows the staff to experience wider spectrum of child development The Barrie and District Association for the Men tally Retarded supports the integrated concept and is now working out plans for an integrated nursery school classes are going to be together Examiner Photo County Court grand jury report says The only clean place in the Barrie Jail is the office area says County Court grand jury The jury recommends

La Boheme gained special dimension at Georgian College Theatre Intimacy seldom felt at OKeefe Centre or most opera houses was achieved not only because of the size of the theatre but also because of the proximity of the audience to the actual stage The rapport between singers and listeners made up for some of the losses that must be inevitable with touring company Although the English translation used was plus in many respects still one often longed for the singable Italian sounds However Puccini was well served by the Canadian Opera Com anys Touring Company nine singers were individually splendid Not weak moment was evident and most important the opera had the fun damental and essential characteristics of La Boheme The light poetic quality was there the mark of Puccini Both Glyn Evans
