housed One basic attitude hangs over from those haiycon horse and buggy days when readin wrlnn and rlthmetlc com prised the entire theory of education The school term starts in September and ends in June with week off at Christ mas and another at Easter The Easter week is recently altered and there isnt apparent need to change the Christmas holiday but the September toJuna term andthe ninebofour school day are now anachronisms that should give way to economic and educational realities It is illogical in fact wasteful to ad here blindly to principle designedto accommodate the needs of an

re cently to uphold that assessment One was the emphasis in the recent speech by Ontario Premier John Robarts on the prospect that his planned spending sxe would fall even on the education budget
