Shows How Opportunity Class Stimulates Slow Scholars "Pupils in an opportunity clas: are expected to abide by th rules and regulations just a: students of regular classes. Therefore they are entitled tc the same respect and consider- ation." These words were stress: ed by Miss Elaine Bell, guest speaker at the February meet- ing ofthe Westmount Home and School Association. Miss Bell is 'la staff member of Westmount School and teaches the oppor- tunity class. In introducing her, Mr. Frank H. Ross, principal, told the parents of the extensive training Miss Bell had received, 'both here and in Europe. Miss Bell went on to describe the functions and purpose of the opportunity class. It was very interesting to hear of the var- ious methods used in grouping j |students according to intelli- gence, "Sometimes a_ highly gifted child has a greater prob- lem than a:slow learner," Miss Bell said. She explained that the objectives of the program are related to the present and future needs of the pupils, Some of these objectives are the de- velopment of: skills in the basic academic subjects, general skills for future occupational competence, adequate habits of health and hygiene, emotional security and independence, use- ful leisure-time activities and the ability to become well ad- justed and contributary mem- bers of a family and the com- munity. A junior opportunity class has only 16 pupils, in order that a child may get spe- cial .attention from the teacher when it is needed. In thanking Miss Bell for her interesting speech, Mrs. Allan J. Hill expressed the gratitude of all parents with problem ,chil- dren. Mrs. Ralph Boneham, presi- dent. of the Westmount Home and School Association, read ex- cerpts from a letter by the On- tario Federation, explaining the : meaning of 'Founders' Day'. "Every February we pay trib- ute to Mrs. A. C. Courtice as he founder of the first Home ind School Council in 1916. To ionor her memory the Courtice Wemorial Library was estab- ished, Financing of the library 'Ss made possible by a speciai collection taken at the 'ound- ers' day meetings. In makin donations," Mrs, Boneham reai on, "one is doing honor to Mrs. Courtice and to all the others who were instrumental in estab- lishing the Home and School movement in Ontario." Mr. F. H. Ross announced that the Westmount school will hold open house March 2, at 7.30 p.m. He also reminded the par- ents that the next report cards will be given on March 22, The representatives for ine annual Home and School con- vention in Toronto were nom-: inated as follows: Mrs. Fred Smith, Mrs. Cecil G.
