Aid'To Education

Speaking at ccrenionies marking tiie laying of a corncrstoiie for a T1?“ “THE of a college in .'\Ionti‘cal, Premier .\l;uii'icc Duplcssis declared the intention of his Coveriimcnt "to guard l‘i'o\incial rights in the field of eiliicatioii". ".\'citlicr the trium- phant blue of the sky nor the red glow of the scttiiig sun", said the tgiiclii-c le-.ider, “will prevent me liom iiplioldiiig the rights of the I’rmiiice in ediicalion". .~\pparcntl_v, the l‘llt‘l(tl'll‘iil lllll"r1.\'t‘S rel'ei'i'ed to the political cli;in<.:c in the Federal (ion-i~i:iiiciit_ since in Quebec blue is ti".'uiitioii;ill_\' associated with (‘on- scrvative parties, while red is the Liberal colour. ‘

.\'o I-‘edcral Government, \vhat- ever its name, would venture to en- croach on the rights of the Prov- inces in educational affairs. The day must come, however. and soon, when Federal assistance to educa- tion will have to be forthcoming if the Provinces are to fulfill their ob- ligations .in this important field. The financial burden is simply too heavy for most of the Provinces to carry. If Quebec or any other I’_rovince ifunwilling to accept such aid, if and when it is forthcoming, that is its own business: and cer-

‘ tainly the people of the other Prov-

inces will not quarrel with its view. But the fact that one Province is not prepared to accept Federal aid is no reason for denying it to others.

As a matter of fact, the Federal Government is already giving fin- ancial aid to education, witness the large grants to universities from the Canada Council, which is fin- anced with Federal money, and the Federal contribution‘ to vocational schools. But it is in the primary and secondary fields where the need is most pressing. Surely, there should be some way of bringing about Federal sharing of the burden without interfering with Provincial administration in the slightest de- gree.

Syria's Violent History

A focal point in the present Near East turmoil, Syria has been a prize for competing empires and ideologies for centuries. Egypt ruled there in the days of its glory. Assyrian hordes overran it. The Babylonians came, to be driven out by the Persians. The might of Macedonia and Greece, the thor- oughgoing conquest of the Romans, the Mongol devastation. and the rise of the (‘aliphs have marked the region. Held by the Ottoman Turks before \\'oi-ld War I. S_vria was under French mandate between the two World Wars. It is now an in- dependent republic and a member of the Arab League.

Along Syria's ancient caravan routes traveled tradcrs, warriors, and religious leaders, bearing ideas that have had a profound effect on W e s t e r n civilization. Abandoned after the l'llS(‘()\'el‘}' of an all-sea passage to India and China. these routes siii'\ive toda_\ in the form of an oil pipeline and roads that, in gormal times, carry part of the Near East's wcalth to lhc,.\lcditer- ranean.

Founded act-orrliiig to lvgcnd by Noah's grandson a fcw _\cai*s alter the great flood, the .\‘_vrian capital Damascus. may ucll be the oldest continuously inhabited cit_\‘ in lhi‘ world. Today it is a coniincrcia. and industrial center with a popula ‘tion of 400.000. The whole coun try‘s 4,000,001) people live in a T0,- 000 square mile area, about half the size of Newfoundland.

Religions of all kinds have tra- veled through the area. Greccc and Rome took Syria's earthy gods into their own panthe0ns.' The Apostle Paul brought Christianity after being converted a vision on the road to Damascus. Islam arose to

It reached present-day

eonquerlod the Syrian coat on their way south to Jerusalem. Ruins of their fortresses still dot the area. The warriors returned to Europe with new concepts of travel and ex- ploration, new rnnps and mapping techniques, new med i ci n e s, new tools and other influences that were to become important in Westem cultuie. '

Provincial Responsibility

The Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion has done well to bring before the Provincial Govem- ment the need for financial provis- ion in the training and education of retarded children. For some time past the Charlottetown branch has been sponsoring training classes for a number of these children; and from all accounts good work is being done. But no organization or group of interested individuals can be expected to expand the work to its maximum efficiency and cover- age on a Provincial basis. This, clearly, is a Provincial rqspoiisibility and an important one. Our people will be glad to know that Premier Iilatheson and the members of his (‘ouncil aie aware of it and anxious to do whatever is possible respect- ing it. ,. As the Premier has pointed out, it is first of all necessary to obtain statistical information on which a policy can be built. This ought to present no great difficulty, aspec- ially in view of the Legion‘: promise to assist in making the survey. We feel that no member of the Legis- lature and no citizen of the Prov- ince would begrudge the amount necessary to set up an effective program. -

Wellare Appeal

The Protestant Family Service Bureau is making an appeal this week for funds with which to carry on its humanitarian activities. In its first eleven months of operation, this organization dealt with 135 cases involving 72 families, 30 in- dividuals and 206 children. The cases had to do with family and marriage counselling, budget fi- nancing, alcoholic problems, wife desertion, unmarried mothers, adop- tion home and foster home applica- tions, supplementary assistance, aged clients, etc. i

The agency has as one of its greatest needs more suitable foster homes in the Queens County area. It has received encouraging help from church groups and individuals, but there are many who apparently do not appreciate the gravity of the problems with which it is dealing.

The list of activities, cited above, _

shows the nature of the services and how important it is that the appeal now .being made should receive generous public response.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The question of who is causing the friction on the Turkish-Syrian frontier has been answered by Syria's refusal to accept Saudi- Arabian mediation of the dispute and by Turkish consent to the pro- -posal. If they had nothing to hide, it would seem that the Syrians would be only too glad to accept the offer, especially when it was made by a friendly neighbour.

The Canadian Tourist Associa- tion thinks that abolition of tipping would attract a great number of Americans. It might have that ef fect. On the other hand, it is pos- sible than even a ‘larger numbei who are accustomed to tipping on in large scale in their own country would be so shocked at the innova- tion that they would never come back again

The Swedish Government is said to be facing difficulties and probably a premature election over opposi- tion demands for an increase in old age pensions. This is an issue which seems to be coming to the forefront in more than one country. It is. of course, of some importance; but it would certainly mark a radical departure in political processes if if were to become the sole reason-for making and breaking governments.

Liberal I By Patrick

Ottawa: The I.ihci'al leader- ship races for the 1958 (‘omen-‘ tion and for the next following‘ Convention are now both being‘ run at a stretch gallop

in January of next year. some‘ 1.500 Liberal dc|e;.-atcs from all parts of Canada will meet in 0t-, tavia to elect a leader to succecdi the Right lion. Louis St. I.aur-‘ ant. who has been leader for nine years. At some undetermined place after a furthcr lapse of lime, delegates will prcsiiniably be called together again in elect mother leader to follow him who is chosen to follow St. Laurent.

Candidates for both these con- ventions are now osicntaliously but with feigned denial prccning themselves and assessing their chances.

Although it is now less than 3 three months before tihe first of these two conventions, there are as yet no hats officially in th a ring. The names most frequently heard as possible candidates arel

Education In P. E. Island

By Walter Crosby Eells

Approximately four thousand‘ doctor‘: dissertations and mas. tcr's thesis on education in for- eign countries have been writ- ten in universities and colleges in the United States. Of these. some three hundred have dealt with education in (‘anada. Many ‘ of these are general in scope. covering some phase of Canad- ian educalion in the entire coun- try, but a few, eight in num- ber, found which deal. in whole or in nart. with education in Prince Edward Is- land.

As a result. heart disease has become major health prob- lem. Right now an estimated 5.(X)0- 000 Americans have heart dis- Anothcr 5. .000 sum-r tmm related disorders such as high blood pressure. rheumatic fever, hardening of the arteries and the like.

. from heart disease a- lone run about 360 fatalities per 100.000 population or about two’ fifths of all deaths. That's not counting the deaths from related : disorders. 3 This of course. presents a great chquenge to the medical profes-- sion. And doctors and <(‘18nllSlIl throughout the nation are work- lng constantly to provide a pre-« ventive or cure for heart disease. ‘

There is one stumbling block.l Coronary heart disease seems to flourish where living condi- tioiu are higher. ‘eta are rich- er and psycholo ical pressures, are heavier.
