The controversy regarding the relative values of cultural and Practical education goes merrily on, with an over Iinoreuing clamor fxom the exponents of culture that students are being taught today only how to make a living. and not how to live. The cultural gnd Practical are both important. of GDHYM. but the question is how much. emphsls should be placed on each. The charge has been laid that for too much time and attention is being devoted to utili. tarian ends. and there might be truth in this accusation. The pen- dulum rxuw have swung to the op- posite extreme, as pendulurns have I. hs.-bit of doing, but it must be remembered that the potential EMPXY which gave it momentum W05 the opposite extreme: too much hitching of chariots to far- away stars. and not enough at- tention to the guiding of the char- iots through the sloughs and pitches in the highway of every- day living. -

Be that as it may, the issue be- tween culture and utility should not be confused with the other argument regarding the relative efficiency of old-tzimc and modern teaching methods. Not the sub- jects studied, mark you, but the methods of presenting these sub- jects. To our way of thinking, de- fending the qid-time methods is similar to defending the scythe against the combine, or the one- horse plough against the tractor. Every now and again we find a man who points with pride (and prejudice) to the "miracles" ach- ieved by some teacher of his youth. The eulogy, based largely on sen- timental attachment, is fine, but its application to the relative mer- its of yesterday's and today's teaching methods is not of any great value. Trial and error have been operating in the teaching field, as well as in most other fields of human endeavour, with the some excellent results

Summerside High School has gone a long way,we think. in prov- ing that the so-called "frills and furbelows" of modern education can be successfully interwoven with the traditional school curric- ulum without secrincing any effic- iency in the lairfer. No school on the Island has followed the mod- em trend with more enthusiasm,

Sport Echoes From Prince county

Johnny Carroll has gone back ihome. The two summers he was with us he made a host of friends -,who will be sorry that he has left. If you thumb through the sports pages and look at the box scores, you might be inclined to think that Johnny's year here had not been a particularly successful one. But we believe his influence on the young boys he has been, coaching

. was good. John-ny was a. hero to

them all, and Summerside parents can be grateful that he is the iright kind of hero; an inspiring example that any Summerside youngster might do well to follow. 0 O 0

We're not going to say that Johnny didn't make mistakes. Do you know anybody who doan't7 Our admiration for him as a lead- er of boys, and as a. wholesome influence on the social life of our town does not mean that we are ready to give an enthusiastic vote of confidence to every move he made in his Job as baseball coach. We disagreed with his methods and decisions at times, which, of course, does not mean that these methods and decisions were wrong. We're not that swell-headed. It is sufficient to say that we, like many other baseball fans in Summer-side, want him to come back. We'll be genuinely disappointed if Johnny is not on the third-base coaching lines,' giving out signals when the 1954 baseball season rolls around.

U I C

As we see it. the big mistake made in trying to develop a junior ball team in Summerside that might challenge for Maritime hon- nos. was that all the available material was not given a thorough trial. The call went forth in the spring that all positions on the C. as B. line-up were open-that no player was certain of his job. But we are forced to the conclusion that this was more or less an empty promise; that quite a num- ber of the boys on the outside, knocking on the door for admis- sion, were not given much chance to prove themselves in actual games.

0 O 0

With Jimmie Hogan, we advoc- ated a. junior league in which all the C. 6: B, regulars might take part, so that all candidates might be tested in actual competition This proposition was turned down. and as there were not enough players to form L league without the C. as B. regulars, the whole project fell through. The result was that such pisyersns Maynard Schurman, Ed Dalton. Vance Hor- ris. Claude Gaudet, Charles Dou- oette, Clarence Giilis, Rollie Lan- dry, and a number of others were faced with the alternative of join-

ories and s corsagc of white roses. 1”
