Counselling Teams

By the time I child Ihows aut- ircient deviation in behaviour to r.I.i-rant the attention of I mental health clinic, tne breakdown in living, while perhaps not yet ser- ious. has at least begun. A really preventive approach must. begin be- fore the signs of breakdown are sufficient to warrant referral to a clinic. The com-elling team is to provide I eeriuce which will func- tion Iomewheri. between the class- room teacher and principal on the hand and the clinic on the

one other. This is I very informal group made up of the classroom teacher the principal, the

consultant, and from time to time. following consultation with the parents, the psychologist. public health nurse. and school supervisor.

Usually the counselling team fol- lows I conference type of proce- dure. The classroom teacher pre- sents the problem as it was ob- served in the school situation; various other members of the team present additional informatiqn. Whenever possible. the teachers who have tauchi. the child in pre- vious years are invited to sit in on thiase conferences in order to and further background material. As I result of the pooling of all known facts and information I- hout the situation or the child it is usually possible to come to I conclusion concerning the appro- priate measures to take in the school. in the classroom and in contact with the home. Occasion- ally. the counselling team decides that the situation is beyond it completely and suggests that the Droblem be refi-rred to the mental health clinic.

These counselling teams meet whenever I teacher or I princi- pal feels that he needs help in deciding on I course to follow in the case of a child who is present- ing some dllllCUll._V, The -l£lTlCe is available in all schools in Prince Edward Island.

strange But True

By F. B. MacArthur Becoming wiser today is not an

unmixed blessing. it makes I person realize what I fool he was yesterday.

Never let success turn your head. It may leave you looking in the wrong directoin.

Ears serve quite well for ideo- tificatlon purposes. for. lllﬂ finger prints. no two are exactly alike. Unusually the left ear II I bit lower than the right one. Qne} ear is capable of distinguishing small internal sounds better than . pglr of ears, which is why dogs frequently turn one side of their heads towards any unusual sound. And did you know that the nail on your middle finger grows more rapidly than the others while the thumb is the slowest.

in more than one half of the human race the left leg ia_ the stronger.

Here are I few more facts a- bout the human anatomy: The average skull weighs 20 pounds. and that of the opposite sex about 14 pounds. I woman's tongue is smaller and often sharper than that of I man of the same weight and size. _ Size is no indication of quantity. Remember the old adage: “Good things are put up in small P"- cels."

A two-yesr—old dog owned by’ Derland Breedlove. of Almond.. North Carolina has three rows of upper teeth. and two rows of bot- tom teeth.

Blond persons have more eye defects than have dark people and country folk suffer less from near-sightedness than do cit)’ dwellers.

The one part of the human body that never ceases to grow is the crystalline lens of the eyes. but the eyes are out of focus for two out of five persons. ‘

Back in pioneer days in this island a yniing woman named Paulette Derong died from com- plications following a lingering illness. She was 22. At the mo- ment of her passing members of her family were amazed at the strong scent of lilacs in hcr room, though it was mid December. The night four neighbors were viewing her remains when a‘ pigeon flew in through I partly; opened window. The candlesi flickered and almost went out as] the bird passed close to thorn anti; settled down on the body of the corpse.

a a 0 i It r e m it in e ti on }'-’auleile'.=l bosom for a split second. then!

moved up in a position on heri forehc-ad, where it began peckingl the dead woman's hair. Next threl pigeon crossed over to the right shoulder and it was observed by

those in the room that this act‘

had created the sign of the‘ cross. ; Tho falhcr of the dead girl .

fried in shon the bird from lhel body but it showed such res:-nt~I ment that he left it alone. But' later. one of the neighbors pick-l ed up the bird and carried it into‘, the kitchen but the moment itl was released the pigeon flew backr to the dead woman's coffin and' again settled on her head. Scveral other persons tried to, rcmove the bird from the death chamber but with no success. Thai pigeon invariably returned to its; pcrcli upon the corpse. Even when} the shell was placed in the crude. hearse. and during the cortegelsl slow journey to the cemetery the‘ bird kept its place. Only when the shell of the woman was being. lowered into ils_ narrow death cell did the pigeon fly away. But wliori lhc last shovclful of earth‘ had been placed. and the people had siartcd to their homes. the bird flew back in the grave wherc it sat in perfect silence during the rest of the day. I C 0
