P. W. C. Closing

Today's commencement exercises at Prince ef Wales College mark another milestone in the history of an institution of which this Pro- vince has much reason to be prolld- The Wfll‘ has accentuated the need for greater emphasis on scientific training, and the curricula at Prince of Wales, as at other colleges, will doubtless re- flect this change in the near future. The supply of technical personnel both for service in the armed forces and for essential industries is con- siderably less than the demand. All the young men who graduated in 1942 and in 1943 as chemists or chemical engineers were awarded eemsiseions in the forces or were appointed t0 positions in essential industries soon after gradua- tion. It has even become necessary to pass regulations forbidding civilian employers offer- ing employment to science students. Further, there is ill operation a Dominion-Provincial scheme wllicll provides financial aid, in the forlll of either loans or grants, to science stu- dents of better than average academic standing if they can prove the need for such assistance.

.'\ll this goes to show the increasing illlport- ancc of scientific and technical training. lint this ill no way lessens the greater intrinsic illi- plirlzlncc of higher education. The two should go together. .\lr. Gordon Graydoll, in all ad- dress delivered some time ago before the Que- bec Provincial Association of Protestant Iicacll- crs, put the lllatlcr ill a nutshell. “Vocational training of both children and adults," he said, “should be stepped up and form a more illte- gral part of our system of education. The skill of the hand must not be neglected ill on"; desire to further the skill of thc mind. It should be remembered, however, that in laying the moral and spiritual foundations of a nation, science and technology are not sufficient. .-\ nation ill which everybody is trained and no- body educated could ltcvcr be a great nation."

Never were truer words spoken, or words more pertinent by way of warning against the current fallacy that science can be substituted for the humanities without disaster. Surely if thc war has taught lls anything, it is this. The development of science has made possible thc cruclest and most ghastly holocaust of death ever recorded. And it may be followctl by another and yet more terrible visitation if we ignore the warning. H. G. \\'ells states the prob- lem by saying that it is a “race betwccn educa- tion and destruction." Man must educate him‘ self away from wars alld into peace, or perish.

Every college and university worthy of thc name is preaching this doctrine, of course; and it is doing so while striving to meet the ever increasing dcnlalltl for scientific anditechnical workers. This double objective is difficuluto keep in mind, bllt it is essential that ollr educa- tionists succeed lll doing so. Let us hopef ‘that they will never think of sacrificing the long tcrlfl goal for the illlnletliate objective. Dr. Steel and thc members of his staff at Prince of Wales College are unlikely ever to require this ad- monitioll, but it is well for the students also to realize that the issue is by no means one of get- ting rid of a fcw "old fogie" subjects and tak- ing on fuller ctitlrscs ill biology 0r chemistry ill their stead. 'l‘herc is still flinch to be learned from an intelligent study of the classics. They represent “the best that has been thought alld said ill the world," teaching us, in the words of llazlitt. that thcrc arc standards of greatness and excellence surviving all the sllocks of a:- cidellt and fluctuations of opinion, and raising us above that low and servile fear which bows only to present power and upstart authority.

1t is not without significance that the Nazis, on coming into power in (iermany, sought first of all to abolish classical culture in the llni- versities. Let us beware of that examplenvhen we start streamlining our college rnllrscs.

Potato lglanlings.

The IJm-linfon Bureau of Statistics published on May l‘; a report on the probable planting of potatoes in I944 based on farmers’ intentions at the clld of April. Subsequent developments may affect farmers’ plans and the figures are there- fore subject to revision when actual plantings are known. Quebec with an increase of 5,000 acres or 5 per cent is thc only province indicating any appreciable change in acreage over I943. hlinor changes in other provinces offset one another and llational plantings are expected to be in- creased by 5,000 acres nr lol per cent of 1943. Details by provinces follow: -
