We thought the answer was inept because it provided a very poor comparison with the forced memor- ization of poetry. Boys will not only memorize signals. they will endure barked shins. dislocated ankles, and work themselves into exhaustion for the thrilling oppor- tunity of playing football. They will work hard at music because they get a glorious sense of achievement when the band plays a,stirring march or a sentimental ballad in unison. There is no parallel sense of accomplishment in the memor- ization of poetry unless the student is one of those rare specimens (in this modern age) who gets a thrill out of reciting poetry. silently or aloud.

This memorizing of poetry in ord- er to have a satisfactory store- house of verse for adult enjoyment is something else again. It's like saying to a boy: "Memorize those football signals, and in five or six years. when you grow up. you can play football." See how they react to that. Jack Woodford. American Writer, claims that the mind in- stinctively dislikes memorizing. and will eject the hated accumulation,

This business of teaching High School students literature is a very intricate business. and it seems rea- sonable to suppose that they will make much better progress if they enjoy it. Yet a certain amount of compulsion seems inevitable. The trick is to walk the tightrope of a happy medium between making it pleasurable and making the learn- ing of itobligatory. You certainly can't develop appreciation in young minds with a good. Unless it be appreciation for the good itself.

P. E. Island Items

dealt with by the harbors and riv- ers branch of the Public Works Department. Of the works program in Queens. Neil A. Matheson. Lib- eral M.P. said he was happy about the estimates in.general but dis- appointed at the lack of an item for a wharf development at Point Prim.

The Liberal member for Queens added that there is a very real need for protection of boats used by fishermen at that location. The landing place. he said. is very much exposed to effects of bad weather and that boats have often been damaged and destroyed for lack of adequate protection. He stated he will continue his repre- sentations for a wharf develop- ment at this spot.

Full agreement with Mr. Math- eson was voiced by J. Angus Mac- Lean. Conservative member for Queens. Point Prim. Mr. MacLean said is greatly exposed to storms and fishermen of that spot should be given facilities to protect their craft and gear.

HARBORS AND RIVERS

Harbors and rivers estimates for Queens totalled 5286.000. They in- clude developments at Covehead. Graham's Road. Rustico Harbor and North Rustico. and dredging at Wood Islands.

M.r. Kickham was very pleased with the overall vote of 3419.000 for Kings on harbors and rivers engi- neering. ,He told The Guardian, however, that the vote of 350,000 for reconstruction of the George- town railway wharf was altogether inadequate and that he would press for a substantial additional amount to be placed in supplementary esti- mates for the Georgetown estab- lishmeni.

Watson MacNaught. parliamentary assist- ant to Fisheries Minister Sinclair said he was particularly pleased at a vote of 5Z)0.000 in estimates for a fishing harbor at Howard's Cove. A harbor at this point had been sought ever since Confederation. Mr. MacNaught said. and when he was a boy, the issue was constant- ly discussed. Construction of a harbor at Howard's Cove was abundantly jjustified for it is the centre of one of the most product- ive lobster areas in all the seveh seas.

A vote of 864,000 for completion of the railway wharf at Summer- side was of import. Mr. Mac- Naught said. inasmuch as itmeant a stronger and better-looking wharf, with the old rip-rap super- seded by a T-wall running right to the shore-line.
