"I am sure that with the qualifications, training, and experience of Mr. Mackey, we will have a man capable of directing our educational program along these lines-- so that all educational serv- ices within our department may be co-ordinated into a purposeful force in the re- habilitation of offenders." Mr. Mackey holds certifi- cates from Hamilton Teach- ers College, the Ontario Col- lege of Education, and a specialist certificate in In- dustrial Arts. He has taught at Port Colborne, Ottawa, and Burlington. He now holds these posi- tions; Canadian representa- tive to the American Indus- trial Arts Association; edi- tor of the Ontario Industrial Arts Association .

Dr. C. M. Elliott, elementary school superintendent, termed the service "satisfactory". "T've received no complaints from the principal of the school or the parents, The service will likely continue as it 'is as long as up to 25 persons make use of it. I don't think we have any problem now." As for the children, some of whom are now spared a walk of up to two and a half miles from home to school -- the bus is "keen", one said yesterday, But, the ticket cost problem, could bring Mrs. Woodcock and other parents back into the lime- light quickly.

It is believed that the scheme is the first attempt by Cana- dian industry to combat the French. language problem. This week a Times reporter had a chance to sit in at an hour-long French lesson. Endless book work and the grappling with exact tenses has been pushed aside in favor. of the informal, conversational ses- sions Employees have been divided into specific classes. The men faced with the. tricky job of labor relations at the new plant have a class designed for "hour-long French students receive an lesson every day, There are no let-ups "We want to give them night- mares in French,"' Mme. Matte explained with a smile. "When they do that I will know that they are really making ground." The employees have taken to the course in wonderful style. The stodginess of learning a foreign language has been ex- tracted from the course by Mme. Matte The sessions are casual, light and yet tremendously informa- tive. The success of the project is gauged by the eagerness of the employees. They are. keen to meet the langugae challenge firmly believe that they can overcome the problems.

They want to fit in and live as part of the French community. "This is one of the most im- portant aspects of. the classes." The vast majority of the em- ployees taking the course had only the basic High School grounding in French when they started the classes. Very few had studied the lan- guage since leaving school. Now, however, only six months or so after the courses started, the eager pupils are chatting away in French. "Most", Mme. Matte "will be virtually fluent they get to St. Therese."' "It is tremendously encourag- ing to .watch them in the classes,"' she went on. "They have wonderful enthusiasm. "I started these courses with three main objects. I wanted to give them firstly an ability to understand the language, sec- ondly a fluencey in expression and lastiy an ability to think in the.
