Ir. lllrkoomlI's Warning

No more important subject for Education Week could have been chosen than that of the menace of totalitarian education, as dealt with so comprehensively by Dr. Wai- son Kirkconncll in his Samuel N. Robert- son Memorial Lecture last night at Prince of Wales College.

Even to his most informed hearers many of Dr. Kirkconnell's statements must have come as a revelation. And he was careful in each case to quote his authority, prov- ing conclusively that Communist-controlled education-the Nazi system was amateur- ish and transient by comparison--aims all nothing sllort of complete subversion of the moral and intellectual faculties of every man, woman and child within its reach. Its chief purposes are the glorification of the Soviet state and the Communist Party, the literal worship of "the man-god in the Kremlin", and the perpetuation of the Bolshevik system through the forced in- doctrination of a total population.

Instead of relaxing its ruthlessness, the system has become even more intolerant during the past four years, instituting new compulsions ancl,hew purges in every nook and cranny of the educational system. Every individual is being continually check- ed, spied on and documented by an all- powerful political police force; those who are not malleable are simply destroyed.

This indoctrination is being directed with sinister purpose in fomenting hatred against the free world. How, Dr. Kirk- connell asks, is our own educational sys- tem to meet such” a threat? Certainly not by duplicating the Communist apparatus of compulsion and indoctrination, but rather by holding to the old-fashioned virtues, such as a desire for truth and a willing- ness to pursue it tirelessly. a judicial tem- per in facing matters of argument, recog- nition of moral imperatives, the loyal citi- zens respect for law and order, and a deep sense of the worth of human beings ill themselves.

"We in our day," he warns. "shall al- ready be half- defeated in essence if the strident intolerance and hatred expressed by Soviet education evokes in us a system of like rigidity and evil temper. We shall need to distinguish between World Com- munism and its victims ;cverywherc, even in Russia. and shall need to cleave to those ideals of freedom. integrity and religious

All levels of government now take more than 2572; of the total value of goods and services which we produce in Canada.

Lady Isabella Gregory. Irish playwright, was born this date 1852. In the last years of the nineteenth century she was fore- most in founding a national drama in fre- land. She wrote many one-act plays, ren- dered Irisll sagas into the Irish dialect of English and did much to preserve Irish folk-lore. She had, as well. a flair for de- tecting and encouraging genius in o'tha's.

Trained observers feel that Canada might have a 05 billion year in capital ex- pansion, which would be' eight per cent over 1951-and 22 per cent over 1950, says Tide, in a survey of the Canadian scene. This would be despite some presently low- er activity in housing, commercial, light manufacturing and some consumer durable fields. Slightly over half of the eight per cent would represent higher prices, the remainder increased volume. Much de- pends on strength shown in defense, util- ity and heavy manufacturing expansion.

According to ,the Canadian Press the Army is engaging in a manhunt to bring its list of former officers who could be cal- led in emergency up to date. Headquart- crs wish to locate and list qualified officers-

OUR OPPORTUNITY

Sir,-It is inexcusable to profit from mothers misfortune only if by so doing. we add to that mis- fortune. The catastrophic outbreak of foot and mouth disease in cer- tain districts in the Province of Saskatchewan, and its consequent torrent of embargoes presents an opportunity which should be taken advantage of. Any proposed action that this Province may take will add nothing to the calamity suf- fered by Saskatchewan.

If, in the West, British Colum- bla and Alberta are prohibiting

processed meats from their sister Province. and Quebec and Ontario on: doing likewise in the East. then this Province should. also protect this essential branch of Maritime farming by prohibitions. We feel sure that proper steps are in the process of being taken along this line. but are we taking full advantage of our insular location to promote this Island as a dis- ease free area?

Ourisolatlon is evident butneeds ndvertlslng. A width of almost ten miles of water separates us from the nearest mainland. If a station for disinfecting cars were established here and every car thoroughly disinfected before load- ing. under the supervision of in-

spectors supplied by customer Provinces or States and paid by us. our livestock or processed

meats should and would not: be subject to embargo.

Livestock is the most. import- ant of our industries, is in very fact vital to our continuance as a good place to live, and no effort to safeguard it should be neglect- cd. We have a host of unemploy- ed, many of whom could be used In this work. and who we are sure would be grateful for the oppor- tunity of contributing such use- ful and essential service for the money they are forced to accept.

The extensive knowledge of Premier J. Walter Jones. and the eloqucncc of our deputy Minister of Agriculture W. R. Shaw, should make A persuasive duo to present our claim for exemption from um- bargo ht Quebec and other con- sumer mnrkets. We feel this is of incomparably greater import- ance thun the many other mis- slons, however necessary. that are being mode weekly to Upper Can- ada in the interests of this Prov- ince; so important that none but our best men should go on such an errand.

We are gratified that Nk. Gardi- ner is taking effective measures to prevent our opportunist neigh- bors from flooding our meagre markets with their surpluses.

How- ever. before any of the city's money is invested in any such "Char- lottetown bubble" as a bus terminal at a cost; of many thousands of the taxpayers dollars (which under our new assessment will be hard earned).

sir. - Education Week is to en- ccurage men and women to exam- lnc their educational system. It is also the time for every ,cltizen to clarify his thinking on the real purposes of education.

Our chief concern should be the welfare of the children of our coun- try because the welfare of the child is intimately bound up with the progress of civilization. There is nothing in the world as precious as a child - because a child is the symbol of so much happiness. It. is the symbol of the happiness of fathers and mothers. It is the symbol of Canada's happiness as I notion. Because a child is the symbol of so much happiness, we all have a stake in its future - in seeing that it turns out right.

There are certain social agencies that must contribute to the phys- ical. mental and moral growth and development of the child. Each of these agencies. the home. the school, and the church, conserves the past. preserves the present and makes possible a progressive fut- ure. and no one of them can be ignored without serious detriment to the child's best interests.

The home is the basic unit in which are lo lons for and the direction of the child's entire growth and development. The school is an extension of the home. it continues and enlarges upon the cduclrluuul background already built up lnthe home. The school must plement but. not supplant the home.

We must remember that Educa- tion is on active process; it is the doing of something; it is the cult- lvotlng and fol-tllislng of minds; such education is possible only when bulo virtues are embodied in the curriculum in such a. way as to function directly in the con-
