PAGE EIGHT 'THE DAILY -TIMES-GAZETTE ) SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1948 S. Africans, Canadians Much Alike Teacher on Exchange Here Finds Miss Esme Powis who was visit- ing in Oshawa at the week-end finds many things in common between the people of South Africa, her home, and Canada. Miss Powis, who is headmistress of the Junior Col- legiate School for Girls at Port Elizabeth, is at present teaching in the Gordon McGregor Public School at Windsor, Ont., while on exchange Te. Benth Africans love the outdoor life she said and take a lot of pleas- ure out of cooking their meals in the open in the same way that Canadians plan corn and wiener roasts. The Africans oke buck meat which they call "biltong". Miss Powis is surprised to find that French is not spoken in the schools in Ontario. In South Africa, which like Canada is bi-lingual, Afrikaans and English are compul- sory, and much more time is de- voted to organized games, such as tennis, field. hockey and net-ball. During the summer Miss Powis travelled 9,000 miles over the North American continent, taking in such beauty spots as the Rockies, Banff, the Redwood Highway and Yellow- stone National Park. She compared Yellowstone with Kruger National Park, S.A, saying that in Kruger visitors never left their cars for fear of attack by wild animals. In South Africa, after teaching for ten years, Miss Powis said, a teacher is allowed six months leave on half pay or three months leave on full pay. This scheme gives teachers an opportunity to travel which is beneficial to themselves and to their pupils. Miss Powis commented on the trees and foliage seen here and re- ferred to the hundreds-of flowers which grow in profusion in South Africa. She recalled, too, the fifty varieties of heath or heather in the Union, and spoke with pride of the Silver tree which, she said, "grows in one place in the world only--on the slopes of the mountain behind Cape Town. Besides having long slender silver leaves, it bears silver cones." She went on to explain that of the 11 million people in the Union, some three million are white (or Europ- ean) and the others are natives, In- dians or Cape-coloreds. But the type of life down there is much the same as it is here in Canada. White people wear the same clothes styles, reside in houses with similar con- veniences excepting central heating which is not required, take part in the same kind of entertainment. They are hospitable too, just like all the Canadians she has met. "And Just as Jumpsy Started Off Down the Street ------ "' For Two Hours Every Morning Little People 'Study' at the Y. From 9:30 to 11:30 each week-of two or three minutes all was day morning there is an air of in- dustry and concentration around the recreation hall of Y.W.C.A. for at that time the newly organisad Nursery School is in session. This Nursery School, which is a community project of the Y.W.C.A. was organized by the Programme Committee to meet many requests ahd has now been in operation for ~+two weeks. Mrs. Jehn Campbell, a member of the staff of the Y.W.C.A. is the supervisor, and the wee pupils range from three to five years of age. Mrs, Campbell has a daily routine for the children and each day some article is made or some small piece of new work done. Cutting, past- ing, drawing, coloring, orgamized games, songs and story telling make up the daily programme. The enrolment is now 19 and the girls are in the majority, 13 to 6. When we visited the school yes- terday morning, the first period was in progress and we found the wee students sitting at the diminutive tables busily engaged in plasticine modelling. We were impressed with the happy atmosphere and the air of concentration. Nobody bother- ed with anybody else and each was intent on the job in hand. Some were modelling trees and oth- ers fancy plasticine baskets. Hung around the walls were many quiet. At a signal from Mrs. Campbell the class marched upstairs to the library where an organized game was played. The children were so interested in this and tried hard not to miss a single turn. Then came what seemed to be the most anticipated period. Seat ed in a circle they listened enthral« led as Mrs. Campbell unfolded to them the story of "Jumpsy goes to Kindergarten". After some nursery songs the morning's activities closed with a hymn and a child's prayer before the class marched again downstairs to get ready to go home. From all appearances it is not difficult to imagine that Nursery School is enjoyed both by the pu- pils and the teacher. Mrs. J. R. Robinson, of the Pro- gramme Committee of the Y.W.C.A, is in charge of the Sub-Committee this phase of the Y.W.C.A. pro- from any woman who could give a morning a week, or once every tv «weeks, in volunteer assistance w. this programme. $5.00 a month and taxi service is ar« ranged for those who have a dis tance to come. which has been set up to look after | The fee for Nursery School is f E i gramme.

By this your children learn to respect you and realize you mean .what you say. "Be cheerful and impersonal about the orders which you give. "Discipline is progressive. As children outgrow clothes so they outgrow discipline and soon reach | the time of self-control and reliance. | "Consequences must be logical. | The consequences of good behaviour through discipline is satisfaction.
