TEACHERS’ CONVENTION

The annual conference and workshop of the
Stikine Teachers’ Association took place at the
Cassiar school on Friday and Saturday, October
20 and 21. Present at the conference were Mr.
W.L.B. Hawker, District Superintendent of Schools;
Mr. A.J. Brummet, Supervisor of Elementary
Education: Mrs. Helen Robinson, Secretary-
Treasurer of School District # 87; and all teachers
from the school district. In addition to the
Cassiar teaching staff, the other teachers came
from Atlin, Lower Post, Telegraph Creek, Good
Hope Lake and Mile 48, Haines Road. There

were also two visiting teachers from the Fort
Nelson district.

Topics covered during the conference were the
manner in which education was changing in the
province and how local teachers should try to

keep up with trends and changes; an explanation

on the School District office and how it functioned;
and how a teacher might draw more from a student
by planned questioning rather than by straight
teaching.

A question and discussion session was also held,
during which Mr. Hawker and Mr. Brummet
tried to answer the questions of the local staffs.

One of the Cassiar teaching staff, Mrs. K. Clark,
spoke on teaching Indian children.

The business meeting of the local Association was
held on Saturday morning.

The conference also had its social side. On Friday
evening those at the conference, together with
other invited guests, attended a cocktail party and
banquet.

The thanks of the local teachers are extended to
the School Board for making the conference and
workshop possible, and to Cassiar Asbestos
Corporation for their part in the arrangements.
