{ ERNE Home, School Plans Meet For Whitby ne of Canada's leading author ities on education and mental health, Dr. S. R. Laycock, will be guest speaker at the regional con- ference of the Home and School Association in Whitby next week. Dr. Laycock's addresses to the | afternoon and evening sessions of the conference next Wednesday | will be the highlights of the gath- ering. Topics chosen by Dr. Laycock for his addresses are "Developing Responsibility in the Child" and "Every Child has Four Sets of Teachers." Dr. Laycock was professor of Psychology of Education at Sas- katchewan University for 20 years and a director of the Canadian Mental Health Association. | He also served in the youth | Commission and the Royal Com-| mission on Penal Reform in Sas-| katchewan. He has also been| closely connected with the home and school movement in an execu- tive eapacity and conducted radio and TV programs on educational toples. : The District Organizer, Mrs. R. A.

GM Employee | schools | Webster, THOMAS R. McEWEN Need Stressed For Teachers It was while teaching at Bolton | "Scarcity of teachers is our big- gest problem today," says Thom- as R. McEwen, BA, B. Paed., who has been a public school inspector for more than 20 years, the last 16 of them in Oshawa. Causes of the teacher scarcity, in is opinion, are the opening of more classrooms and the keen competition that exists today be- tween school boards. Since coming to Oshawa in 1939, the likeable inspector has seen the city's public school system double, going from 90 to 182 class- rooms. The inspectorate also includes Bowmanville, Newcastle and the Durham county townships of Cart- wright, Clark, Darlington and Manvers. Responsibility for the is shared with E. J. D. BA, B. Paed, whose main duties lie the = schools outside Oshawa.' Number of classrooms in Dur. ham county, outside of Oshawa. has increased from 90 to 137 since Mr. McEwen"s appointment. Al- together, there are now over 300 teachers and 10,000 pupils in the inspectorate. In line with the increasing work resulting from this rapid expan- sion, the Ontario Department of Education has named = Thomas Houghton, BA, B.Ed., to go to Osh- awa at the end of November and assist Messrs. McEwen and Web- ster for four months. NEED ORGANIZATION "Discipline is no longer the prob- lem it once was in the schools," in the opinion of Mr. McEwen. "Today the teacher's chief prob- lem is planning a well organized course of study for the class. If you look after other things, such as organization discipline takes care of itself." Mr, McEwen was born at Fox in boro. six miles north of Belleville in Hastings County. When he was about 14, his familv moved from the farm into Belleville. Though no one would guess it he was 15 because of ill-health. At 21, he entered Albert College, later attending Queen's University | Faculty of Education where he ob- | tained his first-class teaching cer- tificate. He later received his B.A. degree from Queen's. AT BOLTON Mr. McEwen's first teaching job was at Bolton where he was vrincipal of a four-room school Sale Of Harbor o Await Council Polic that he met Leila Cheley, whom he married at Morrisburg in 1919. Auction For Land Sites Six blocks of land, one of them | with a house built on it, will be auctioned by the Oshawa City | Council next month because tax | rates on the land have not been paid. ; City Clerk, L- R. Berrand said today that the properties would be auctioned on October 5 with a re- due. | In one case the reserve price on a block is as low as $41. Reserve price on the land with house is only $255. . he Mr. Tripp said that original ly seven lots were to be sold, but one has been redeemed by t owner. The other owners have till {October 5 to redeem their prop- erty by payment of the overdue rates. In all cases rates have not been Over the years, Mr. McEwen | has kept abreast of the many new developments in education "One of the chief changes," he feels, | "has been in the courses of study. Today's course of study is much { more colorful and better adapted | to the needs of the child at all the | various age levels. "Today there is a constant re- | view of teaching methods by the | teachers," he notes. To this end, | Mr. McEwen has fostered am .in- | service training program for | teachers in Oshawa public schools. | The object is to have periodic | conferences or workshop sessions in which teachers of subjects such as arts and crafts and physi- cal training meet to exchange ideas and co-ordinate their teach- ing aims. PET PROJECT Another of Mr. McEwen's pet projects has been to arrange for buses to transport Oshawa pupils in grades 4, 5 and 6 to and from the McLaughlin Library. Each of these classes will spend a per- jod in the library every fifth week. It is a positive attempt to increase the amount of good reading being done by Oshawa's citizens of to- MOITOW. The first classes will be taken the library after Thanksgiving ay. "Mr. McEwen is doing an aw- fully good job" in the opinion of one prominent Oshawa citizen who has been connected with edu- cational matters for many years. "Believe me, his job is not easy ! | With the overcrowding in the pub- | lic schools it has been necessary lo move pupils from one school to | another to relieve the situation. "Some parents find these trans- fers hard to understand. But Mr. McEwen has spent countless hours working out the best possi- ble solution, especially consider- | ing Oshawa's rapid growth. "He has done a good job, and he has done it economically. He | bends over backwards to co-oper- ! ate with all the teachers, student paid for the 1951 - 54 period. Un- | der city council by-laws the rates must be three years overdue be- fore property can be sold by the | council to obtain the due rates. . 'tober 5. Annual F Last Saturday the closing of | Storie Park was held: While track | and field events were run off, the |1adies treated each child with a | hot dog, a Coke and pop corn. |The tea room and home baking sale were also looked after by the Jadies. Following these events, a ball game between the Tannery Legion team and Storie Park boys ended in an upset 6-5 victory for the native sons. At' 8.30, the street dance was held and a good turnout was on hand to enjoy round dancing and the squares, called so well by Mr. Ralph Taylor. It was a swell day for all with ideal weather. Our thanks goes out to Ralph Taylor, Mr. Flath, our hard work- ing executive; especially Cec. Dur- no, the Oshawa Police Force and everyone who made the day a suc- cess.

By REV. STUART B. COLES Kuox Presbyterian Church At much cost in the toil of teach- ers and in the taxes of citizens we show our deep concern for the | education of the children of our community: The stuff of education| is knowledge. We are willing to} foot the heavy cost of our public schools because we sense how ba- sic to a child's growth into whole- some and effective adulthood is true knowledge. His well - being is menaced, his nurture is defective, if he is left short of knowledge in any sphere of his being. There are three such major spheres for every human: his self, his surroundings and his source. The first on the list, the sphere of the human self together with its social dimension of relation- ship with other selves, 'is in large measure our inheritance from the ancient Greeks. The slogan of this Greek classical humanism was: -- Know thy self. . KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS The second sphere, the knowl- edge of things, has received a gi- gantic share of modern man's devotion. By exploration and ex- perirfieni, by technological inven- tion and mass production, this scientism hds in many ways push- ed itself into a dominant position over the other spheres of knowl- edge. In our industries the machines have been the recipients of more concern and better main- {tenance than the men and women {employed with them. Even where {men do not put their trust and |zeal in the machine, the gadget |the atom, to solve their problems and satisfy their wants, then they {frequently have transferred that {worship instead to another Thing, {namely money, whether in the { orm of fat profits or of high Jwages. irhe third sphere of knowledge |of | the Bible, comes to us by or reai womanhood must the true knowledge of Ged. ¥ a man does not truly know the God, he does mot know the truth; and all his other knowledge, both human selves and worldly things is thereby rendered ume sound. It has now no such fourfl ation. . KNOWLEDGE OF GOD - There is this further to be reék- oned with, when we consider this third sphere; If God be really man cannot succeed in subjec Him to man's investigation and man's deductions about Him. y if God be God, then the knowl of Him must be His own ge gift or revelation to mam. knowledge of God, according 's communication, or utterance, 'or Word, "And this is the Word wi by the Gospel is communicated to you," writes the Apostle Petr. "And the Word became flesh amd dwelt among us; grace and come by Jesus Christ," writes Apostle John. The Church has been commissioned with this Gospel, this vehicle of the truth, this commumi- cation of the knowledge of God His Word, this rock foundation 2ll other subjects of human edge; "for other Fountation Ge no man lay than . . .
