t don't-know—what—my—grandparents—would think or even my parents, if they could come back for a look at the modern version of a rural regional high school, but I do know that their grandson and son was impressed. There's no more comparison he- tween those schools and the one | attended in Rose Vallev for example. than there is hetween many of the other things of my bevhood days. and the present.
Without attempting to assess the educational competence of the new institutions—I found the principals as proud of thet system as most people are of the splendid buildings that house them—I was struck most forcibly, I believe. by the fact that Island high school pupils now have this educational opportun:ty
available to them as close as their own gates, or the corner, or holds water.

TT’S THAT close because schoo! buzes pick up the pupils there, take them to the high school and bring them back again in the evening
If any reader is not impressed hy that fact, 1t means only that he or she chrin't Ive through the days—and they're not so fer away im time—when hundreds of rural pupils never were able to go past Grade 19, because their people couldn't afford to send them to Prince of Wales College. or to St. Dunstan's high school. Now a high school education is avatlable for free. Of course nothing is free. we have to pay for it, but it Is free to the pupil who resides in a participating district so far as any immediate cash outlay is concerned
T had already seen something of the facilities available ~at . the Charlottetown Rural Hich School—I ve worked there on coun selling projects and several times Tre heen in several other high schools. This time I visited and talked with the people who direct the programs in Morell. Souris, and the Evangeline High School at Abrams Village
Principal Charlie Mc!saac—he comes from Westmoreland. near French's Carding Mills where we took our wool when I was a youngster—showed me around at Morell

T know there are people who oppose the idea of physical education heinc taught in schools Its natural for a farmer, or someone else who works hard physically. to discount the value of phvsical- education exercise._because he finds it difficult to get enough physical energy to last through his day.

Commerfial courses. home economic: and classes in fam iw lwing, preparation of fond, selection of suitable clothing are some of the other useful skills and aptitudes that are being developed in some of those schools At Souris. for example.

EDUCATION For many vears.m our history
a number of reasons, poor schools, lack of finances, and lack of understanding of the va- jue of education The result was that many people who had a “munimutn of education tended to downgrade ‘book learning’ and held__in_contempt the accom-
plishment of bookish people.
’ The men who felled the forests,
cleared the land and sailed the seas prided themselves on their physica! ability and their capac- ity to deal with the forces of na- ture.
