04 School officially open for Man Who Cares His color portrait in the school hallway is labelled Rt Rev James Clair man who cares And more than 300 politi cians school officials parents and students cared enough bout M0nsignor Clair to turn out Sunday for the official open ing of the school that bears his name The physical facilities the accomplishments of school board members and adminis trators the educational goals of Monsignor Clair Separate School were all praised during the ceremony at the Cundles Road East building But all these things had to take back seat to the praise heaped on the man himself veteran of 55 years in the priesthood 38 of them in Barrie man Vespra Township Reeve Alan Johnston Protestant called the greatest Christian leader of the century in the Bar rie area Msgr Clair still active at St Marys parish in Barrie despite his retirement as pastor seven years ago drew two standing ovations one as he approached the microphone the other as he sat down after delivering rin ing defence of education based on religious values IIEATING CHILDREN Should we concentrate our studies on the things of the world and forget who created them he asked We are cheating our children if we leave the Creator out of educa tion He said school should teach respect for the laws of God of nature and of the country all of which are founded on the Ten Commandments And if people think the com mandments are out of date he said theyve only got to look at their own hearts and theyll find that the commandments are written there by their creator In lighter vein Msgr Clair said he hoped his name will not have detrimental effect on the future of the school and asked the prayers of the au dience that he might someday make his home in the eternal condominium in heaven John Brennan chairman of the Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board recalled Msgr Clairs work over the years not only in founding schools but in tea ching at St Josephs Junior High School and even transpor ting students to the school If it needed doing he did it Mr Brennan said This man cares about other people OTHERS IN CEREMONY Others participating in the ceremony included Rev Leon ard

the board from the Ontario Ministry of Educa tion Mayor Dorian Parker and Reeve Johnston Students provided music The school lies in Vespra just outside the city boundary and Mr Brennan praised the co operation between the two mu nicipalities in arranging ser vices Iin hoping that it will be in Barrie Mayor Parker said referring to the fact that the school lies within the porti0n of Vespra the city hopes to annex but Reeve Johnston might have something to say about that The township has op posed annexation The school actually began classes Sept 27 following three weeks in which the 126 students

Youth told seminar on the young childs World Saturday at Allandale Heights School Miss Chisholm said variety of current trends have led to growing hostility towards children in todays society leaving many youngsters con vinced that they are at best not very welcome and at worst actively resented and resisted To combat these trends she said we need to recognize both in practice and in law that children are persons in their own right Miss Chisholm was the morn ing speaker at the seminar sponsored by the Huronia branch of the Association for Early Childhood Education in cooperation with the Kin dergarten Teachers Associ ation ENLARGEI VIEWS She also led small discus sion group and enlarged on her views in an interview with The Examiner Miss Chisholm contrasted North American children to children she saw in China dur ing recent twoweek visit She said she was terribly impressed by the Chinese childrens emotional and psychological security their evident discipline sense of pur pose and sense of identity The discipline is ver firm very specific but the ildren seem to thrive on it she said There isnt lot of opportunity to do your own thing Unlike their North American counterparts she said Chinese parents and others in authority over children do not seem to ap ply double standard but in stead display the same degree of discipline they expect of the youngsters And the two groups seem to get along well While Chinese methods can not be transplanted in their en tirety to country like Canada she said the respect and recognition as persons which Chinese children receive should also be applied to Canadian children SIMPLY IGNORED Instead she said children have hardly any legal rights even to personal possesions your kids piggy banks belong OMB cancels hearing for Medonte

the sug gestion Current attitudes toward children Miss Chisholm said have been brought on by variety of developments Among these she said are move away from parenthood as means of selfsfulfilment the
