M. Elliott, superinten- dent of public schools, says the Oshawa Board of Education is taking a careful view of the new method of team teaching. "We are not going to jump on the bandwagon and I don't subscribe to the opinion that team teaching is the best or only way to teach," said Dr. Elliott, He said team teaching, which groups students in a large teaching area for general instruction and then breaks the groups down into smaller units, has "advantages and should be used moderately but not exclusively." Dr. Elliott said the main rea- son team teaching is not part of the board of education's cur- riculum is that the present schools in the system are not physically designed for team teaching. RADICAL CHANGE | He also said many teachers| would not like the change-over | because it is a "radical" change and teachers '"'have be- come comfortable' with the system they use. | Dr. Elliott said some princi- pals and teachers are very will- ing to study team teaching. and to experiment with it but 'we wouldn't want to change over tomorrow. "We are very aware of the presence of team teaching and we are investigating it but there will be no immediate ac- tion on it," said Dr, Elliott. He said he did not think PIGEON CHAMPION Kenneth Norwick, 15, 280 Taunton Rd. W., won grand champion pigeon at the Can- adian National Exhibition Fri- day for his Blue African Owl entry. Kenneth is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Norwick. Careful View team teaching requires much special professional training. DISADVANTAGE H. E. Murphy, principal of | Central Collegiate, said "'team teaching" is a good way to teach history and English but not mathematics. Mr, Murphy said in a large teaching group with students very good or very bad at a subject -- it can work as a definite disadvantage. "Teach- ing 'math in a large group would mean.a lack 'of individual attention," he said. Central Collegiate has a teaching area twice the size of a regular classroom. Mass Eng- lish classes have been held periodically 'with varying suc- cess." "Some might think they can employ less: teachers because one instructor can teach about 150 students but this is not so," said Mr. Murphy. Teachers who will teach to smaller groups following the lecture, must be present for the lec- ture, he said. | "They may even need more | teachers for these follow-up classes," said Mr. Murphy. He said team teaching is "a lively} topic of conversation' among teachers but the 'registration pressure"' at Central does not permit adequate facilities for the new teaching method. "Team teaching requires a great deal of maturity on the part of the students and it most likely would be most beneficial at the secondary school level," said Mr. Murphy. He said it probably would be best for grades 10, 11 and 12. | COINS WERE SHORT The U.S. was so short of coins in 1961 that one bank ad- vertised for pennies in trade journals. ville and two retired members| of the Oshawa fire department,| Martin Ostler and Milton!

The jury of four men and one woman made no recommenda- tions.

She said A fine sense of maturity was shown by all the children tak- ing part in the recent paint-in of the panels surrounding the city hall addition, William Cald- well, acting director of the Oshawa art gallery, told board of control members yesterday. "They policed the whole thing without supervision," he said, "and even made sure that the street dance, in which three bands played, ended in good time so there was. no annoy- ance to residents." Mr. Caldwell was reporting to the board on recommenda- tions for allocation of $25 prize money awarded by city coun- cil, to be shared beween first and second winners. As reported in Monday's Times, the board agreed to a suggestion of Mr. Caldwell's, on behalf of the interim execu- tive of the art gallery, that all participants over 12 be given membership of the art gallery and those under 12 be enter- tained to a show and a meal. fore he was hit." City Hall Panel Painters Sense Of Maturity Praised Oshawa citizens, solicitor An- thony Laskowsky and Dr. J. N. Lowes, both of Centre Street, had 2ach donated an additional $25 towards prize money. Mr. Caldwell said it had been felt it would be unfair to dis-| criminate between any of the 184 panels, because each had contributed something. There were "pathetic little stories' arising from the paint- in, he said. One concerned a blind child of six or seven years who acted as observer, and was taken by other chil- dren to '"'feel" the paintings and pass judgment. Then there were others who turned up without paint or brushes but did a good job after being supplied by the art gallery committee, and the six O'Malley children who worked on four different panels. "People have been visiting the panels at all hours of the day and night," said Mr. Cald- well.
