rise to 27000000 cunits in 1975 from 17000000 in 1965 The total for the year 2000 would be 92000000 cunits A cunit represents 100 cubic feet of solid wood The Canadian pulp and papsr industry would be able to meet demands to 1975 but It may be a tight fit Mr Fowler said The changes in demand will in a few years tax forest re resources � sources to full capacity and Can Canada � ada will face a

District Superin Superintendent � tendent Dave Todd said toda If they do theyll be making a mistake Mr Todd took sharp Issue with statements made by Harley Robertson president of the BC Teachers Federation on the proposed bojeottof large clas classes � ses Mr Robertson said teachers should refuse to teach classes of 40 or moie pupils The BCTr president will mset with local teachers Teb 9 to discuss the issue He says he believes his recommendations will receive enthusiastic support Im confident that in Prince George public relations between the school board and teachers are so sound teacheis would be loath to contemplate strJke ac action � tion on behalf of a relatively few teachers whose classes were ov oversized � ersized Mr Todd said Few classes in the district had 40 or more pupils he added Mr Robertson said earlier this month teachers were fed up with doing the impossible the are expected to develop each child as an individual yet B C has some of the largest classes in Canada But Mr Todd questioned whether actual class size was as vital an Issue as the BCfT head claimed Would teachers really prefer smaller classes or would they prefer fewer teaching periods Would they prefer a cut and dried number in a class orwould they prefer extra teachers to im implement � plement team eachlng If given a choice many teach teachers � ers would take fewer teaching periods and large classes rather than teaching all day without a bieak In the large elementary schools in Prince George some teacheis do get spare periods he noted This is rare in B C And in specialized secondary school courses there were classes of fewer than 15 stu dents I sympathize with a teacher who has too large a class Mr Todd said Personally I never liked teaching a class larger than 25 But on the other hand I liked even less teaching a class of few fewer � er than 15 because it wasn teasy to arouse a spirit of enthusiasm with a very small class He added A good teacher can teach a large class better than a poor teacher can teach a small class BCTr walkout proposals are part of a campalgnonteachei en entitlement � titlement and the class size Issue The BCTr president has called on the
