aimed at tapping the considerable sums of money that at present exist in the savings account market.

A s a result of a proposiiton put to 30 principals during a recent in-service meeting, the schools responded to a plea by Deacon David O'Brien. lull time executive of the Catholic Radio and Television Council. that W. A . should take up this vital area of education today. day. He explained that the programme was already running in all other States. In State high schools . in W.A. there was one pilot project at present and State school authorities had precisely the same hopes and aims as ourselves in the introduction of these courses. Deacon O'Brien said. The proposed course would apply to Grades 4 to 7.; it would be a practical course to make the child aware of what is being presented to him or her in the media. whether by • televkion. radio or press. and helping the Children to assess positively the content and of value this material.
EMPHASIS A narrow view of such a programme mieht be only to look at what harm these programmes ;wa-re doing the child; Deacon O'Brien said. However, that would be far short of a true educational programme
where the accent W as oa developing the positive awareness of the pupil about the conditions ia which he lived. "Teachers are noticina everywhere." he said, "that many children are spending many more hours in front of a television set than in the 'classroom. "In a sense, the teacher is getting strong educational competition from this source alone. and the positive answer _ was to educate the child about the meaning of t his new element in their lives." "In teaching the children discernment, we are really teaching them to become aware of truth in life around them." he said.
TRAINING The impetus for the Catholic school course is coming from Brothers Kelvin and Philip. Maris! _ Brothers of New South Wales. who have. established an • internatiOn l reputation in introducing into these courses schools. The first step \yin he to train the local teachers: a one-day course will be held on Decem• ber 3 to make final preparations before the close of the school year. To open the new course, a weekend (February 8 and 9) will be
