Large Audience Attends Meeting

At-a recent joint meeting of the St. Jean and Rochford Square Home and School Associations, a large audience of parents and teachers heard a panel discus sion on the non-graded - school system.

Taking part in the discussion were Dr. K.A. Parker, Superin- tendent of City Schools, John J. MacDonald, principal of Saint Jean and Elinor MacDonald. guidance consultant for City Schools. |

Dr. Parker announced that St. Jean School will undertake a two-year experiment with the non-graded ‘system beginning in September, 1966, and including grades one, two, and three.

Dr. Parker. introduced__ the topic by outlining the need for a of individual differ-

ences of children: By the use of - testing data, Miss MacDonald. showed the wide range of abifi- ties and achievement in*the var- fous areas of the skill subjects,

arithmetic, language and read- San

ing. -

the now-graded or continuous

ss organization is an el imination of the traditional grade system and a_re-organi- zation of the present curriculum. It is not.a new metliod of tea- ‘ching but rather an #dministra- ‘tive arrangement which makes it possible to provide better for |

the differences in learning rate |

in the skill subject areas. |

Under this system the first three grades will be divided into’ 12 units of work and each unit

quired skills. This will mean that the slow child will move much slower than the average.

A general discussion, taking the form of questions and an- swers, both from the. panel members and the audience, dis- cussed such things as_ report cards, promotion, teacher invol- vement and the advantages of the system.

“It was felt that the big prob- lem to be faced by parents and teachers with regard to the non- graded system was that ‘of grade-mindedness flexibil- ity. It was also felt that this sys- tem would eliminate pressures on both teachers and children and would indicate an atmos- phere more conducivé to good mental health. ~ eer

OTTAWA ( Special) — It is time the federal and provincial governments in Canada got to- gether to revise the Lord’s Day Act, Melvin McQuaid, MP for Kings, said here today -

Mr. McQuaid, a former at- torney general of Prince Edward Island, has placed a question on the commons’ order paper ask-

Outside the house, he said he feels the act is outmoded and should be brought into line with present day conditions. He points out that in many cases the act is being ignored under the pres- sure of public opinion’ where people want to engage 'in sports events, attend theatres and ex- pect to find service stations and

Jamie's demands for an equal share of this attention are often seemingly rebuffed by the par- ents. Because of the undiplo- matic and sometimes rude way in which this is done, Jamie begins to feel neglected’ and un- wanted; as a result becoming quite introverted.

In the discussion which follow- ed the film, the topic most touched upon concerned ways in which Jamie's parents could have prevented the unfortunate result of their thoughlessness. While many felt that Jamie was certainly loved as much by his parents as were his sister and brothers, they believed that the
