Slocan Valley Free School
Worst Now Over Says Organizer

By Molra Farrow
Vancouver Sun

The grunts, groans and
thumps coming from the old
barn in the middle’ of a muddy
field were definitely not made
by cows,

They were human noises
and a climb up a ladder to the
top floor of the barn revealed
they were made by some 20
boys and girls hurling them-
selves around on the atraw.

This is the judo class of the
Slocan Valley free school in
swinging action,

“Adam, your chin should
be right up against your belly
button,” said the instructor,
clad in a white jacket labelled
San Jose Pacific Judo Academy

The engrossed youngsters
hung intently on his words.

The free school, which has ©

been in operation almost a year,
is just one of many controver-
sial happenings in this valley in
the last year or so, ,

The valley is the heartland
of the radical Sons of Freedom
sect of Doukhobors who stages
a series of burning and bombing
protests in the 1950's and early
1960's to support their wish to
educate their children them-
selves.

Then, after a decade of
relative peace, the beautiful
valley attracted many new-
comers from the U.S. who had
very different priorities from
the long-time residents. The
conflicting life styles caused
several near confrontations.

There was the establish-
ment of the free school, which
erupted into a feud with the
Nelson school board. There was
a $27,000 Opportunities for
Youth. grant to build a
community centre which, so
far, has got no further than
being a hole in the ground and

has brought the valley much *

eritical publicity.

And there were further
federal funds, including more
than $50,000 to start a

library, which have
drawn snide comments rather
than thanks from many of the
original residents of the area.
The ill feelings in the
Slocan Valley even resulted in a
court cast involving an assault
charge earlier this year.
“Things were at their
worat in the spring of this
year,” free school organizer Joe
Harris said in an interview.
“There ‘was even a .citizens’
committee formed to ‘beautify

the valley’ but it was really a -

vigilante group to run the
hippies out of here.”

But _now, claimed Mr.
Harris, the worst is over.

“It was all stupid ignorance
and paranoia,” he said. “We
hope it's now in the past and
won't happen again.”

Atleast the free school has
finally made peace with Nelson
schoo! board which, at one time,
was threatening to prosecute
those involved with the alter-
nate education,

Everyone is doing his own
thing and no one is upset any
more,” said board secretary-
treasurer Glen Bailie.
people at the free school have
tried to keep‘us informed about
what is going on and we have
decided not to prosecute any
parents who wish to send their
children to alterriate schools.”

But the board is not
providing the free schoo! with
any financing and it is strug-
gling along on donations based
on the family allowance that so
far have totalled nearly $10,000

“The _

taught university in the U.8,
‘for two years, Many of the
other teachers are equally well
qualified, he said,

“What we:provide {s equal
or better education than In the
public schools,” said Mr, Harris,
“And what is far more
important is that we're not a
bureaucratic educational sy:
stem like the school’ board
provides, The board {is more
concerned with money than
anything else—it doesn’t ans-
wer human needs, It’ isn't
concerned with whether the
kids are hoppy or sad or
well-adjusted.”

At present, Mr. Harris’
own home is the school building .~
and it's a comfortable muddle.of”
children, cats, dogs,
guilars and an old stove. ‘His”
own youngsters, aged nine and
four, are part of the group in
the ‘small frame house that
vibrates with activity.

“I's a bit hectic but I love
it," he said, as the bedlam of
changing classes swirled a-
round him, The barn in the back
yard is where the judo classes
are held and they are so
popular that children from the
public schools come to join in,

Other subjects. on the
curriculum include math, art,
science, reading, geography,
geology, typing, ballet, film-
making, crafts, sewing, jewelry
making, social studies, paint-
ing, poetry, theatre and sports
such as hockey, soccer and
football.

“Much of what we had to
do at first was educate the
members of the schoo! board,”
-said Mr. Harris. “But since then
three of the board members
have come to see what we are
doing here.”

Efforts Underway

A Kinsmen Club, once
active in this area bul was
disbanded as members trans-

* ferred out of the area, is now
being reorganized.

have met with no response
from the department of educa-
tion, But in recent months he
has been loaned some equip-
ment by the school board.

Now he is pinning his
financial hopes on an applica-
tion he has made for a federal
grant under the Local Employ-
ment Assistance Program, But
if he doesn't get it, the schoo!
will continue anyway.

Mr. Harris is also hoping
that the notorious hole in the
ground at nearby Vallican will
eventually solve his accom-
modation problems.

The $27,000 hole, which
was slarted in 1971, is still a
concrete-lined basement sur:
rounded by piles of lumber in a
corner of a field. Mr. Harris
said no work has been done on
the project for seven months
because funds ran out. But
publicity about the hole started
more than 18 months ago.

The plan is for a two-storey
building that would house
everything from a community
centre to school classes when it
is finished.

Rut Mr. Harris said an
incredibly complicated hassle
over a building permit and fire
regulations, as well as financial
problems, have, stalled the
project.

“It will probably take
another $10,000 to finish it and
we're trying to get funding
through the B.C. Recreation
Commission,” he stated. “but
we've just gone round and
round with the building in-
spector and the fire marshal
and everyone has focused on
our failure to get the thing off
the ground. What they fail to
realize is that the community
here has finally got itself
together and it was mainly the
school that did it.”
school is the community library”
which operates"
school house at Vallican—a mile

or so from the hole in the’

ground.

The library, with its Local
Initiatives Project grant of
$50,310 is the success story of
the valley, but even it has
caused a problem for the
newcomers.

“It's because of the grants
we've ‘been getting that so
many people around here hate
us so much,” said Mr. Harris.

The library, complete with
Nursery and a large children’s
section, has about 6,000 books,

They are: W. R. Bennett,

“I was on
insurance for a year and that’s
when I got the school off the
ground—if it hadn't been for
that money the school would
not be in existence,” said the
28-year-old Mr. Harris, who
emigrated here from the U.S.
three years ago.* ¥

“We opened the school in
December, 1972, after working
on the organization for about

“Most of our staff are part-
time and this project gives the
women in the area an oppor-
tunity to earn money—it's hard

said 28-year-old librarian Libby

why and how. Then, when my
unemployment money ran out,
we asked for donations.”

The schoo! now has about
35 students aged between six
and 16 and they attend classes
four days a week, coming from
as far as five miles away in car
pools.

“We have 35 teachers—18
on staff and 17 in reserve,” said
Harris, who has his masters
degree in philosophy and

and labor relations

Tests fo. Measure Factors Have

Remember all the tests
you wrote in school? Are the
memories pleasant or un.
pleasant or a combination of
both? They were designed to
measure what you had learned
about English, Mathematics,
French, Social Studies, Chem-
istry and many other school
subjects, The results were

Canada Manpower uses
tests too, but not in a “pass” or
“fail" setting. Our tests are a
tool for use by the Manpower
counsellor and the client to
measure factors that have an
influence when possible careers
are being considered.

The tests most commonly
used in counselling include an
aptitude-measuring test, an
interest inventory question-
naire and a color discrimination
test. The color discrimination
test consists of 14 multi-colored
cards, used to measure a
person's ability to distinguish
one color from others. A score
of less than 10 correct suggests
the person is color-blind to the
extent that he would have
difficulty in performing work

- where color recognition is

important.

The interest questionnaire
helps a person establish their
level of interest in 10 broad
areas, Often people know they,

have or do not have interests in. -

certain fields and the question-
naire assists them as_ it
measures just how high or low
their real interest level is in
relation to the following 10
occupation areas: outdoor,
mechanical, computational,
scientific, persuasive, artistic,
literary, musical, social service
and clerical.
