He felt that this plan suggests possibl - ities for home care as a part of the Blue Cross Hospitalization programme. ‘ Dr. Phillips referred to the_0ntario Health Survey Report, a copy of which may be ob- tained by writing Mr. John Scott, Director of Publicity, Department of Health, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. This report contains a great deal of valuable information including the recommendations made to the Provrnclal Department of Health. “I am happy to tell you”, the Minister said, “that most of, these recommendations have either been imple- mented or are in the process of being 1m- plemented . . . And that there has been more progress made in the interests of the health and welfare of our people during the last five years than for two or three decades prior to 1948.” Rural Auxiliary Classes Mr. McVittie, Inspector of Auxiliary Classes for the Guelph area, brought a word of hope to the Institutes that have been asking that rural children who aren't given to "book learning" be given special training to fit their needs, just as urban children have this train- ing in auxiliary classes. Mr. McVittie said that a plan is underway to have itinerant “remedial” teachers visit rural schools as itin- erant music or manual training teachers do. The cost to a school board would be about $25 a pupil, The great difficulty is that a “reme- dial” teacher must have special training and there aren‘t enough of them available at the salary offered.
