Diirini: Education Week one of the in-o.lects unclcrtakcn by the Gt-ailr X pupils of Queen Char- iinig High School. Charlottetown. tins lliat of writing essays on ed- ucafioilal topics. The response by the pupils was most gratifying to the tezichers.

The following three were among the outstanding ones. Since these .-ttgiys were written by young peo- pip. the ideas expressed give us an insiglit into their thinking alnnz pducational lines. Let us read what they have to say.

"The education problems in Prince Edward island is of the greatest importance to the present and future welfare of our young pooplr and our province. Living rniiditioiis have advoiiccd to the otacc where a young ncI'S0n Starl- ing out into the world today with trade X qualifications or less. is under a handicap which mu.V 933' ily result in failure.

ll'lnlc many may say that there I: no ('Xt'lI.'iC for any pupil leaving It'hfIlll uitlioui successfully com- pleting Grade X. yet there seems to be too great percentage of pup- il. llllfl leave school with only tiradc Vt II. or lower qualifications. strict ciifnrccmcnt of attendance rrriiliitioiis. together with cancel-

lation of Cliildrenls Allowance for

nnii-attendance have been of help

In keeping up the average attend-

ancc.

some of our older people. in- rludiiig sonic members of our leg- islature. like to point wiili pride to he many successful and disting- iii.-licil men and women who see- iired their education in some of the small o v e r-crowded one-room wt-ltnnls. We .V0llllECl' citizens share in thcir feeling of pride for what has been accomplished. Yet it is messy to forget that these former ttudciits. when starting out into the uoi-id had. as business assoc- liuci or competitors, men and wom- rntiitli education qualifications on I par with their own.

DlFl'l-ZRENT SITUATION

l(l(lil.V tie face I different sit- iintinn. The great majority of those iiitlt whom ll(' must assoc- lltlc and compete have university. or at lcast senior high school train- lllli unit in addition. specialized training in the particular line of uorli irhicli they are undertaking. This great difference. and not the vmiliirlty of today's educational needs. i wliat is startling.

Puhils ulio attend rural scliools tic ltaiidii-appcd when advancing Into the higher grades because of I number of reasons. Latin has been dropped from the currlculiim. Wmflry and algebra are not tak- In up iiiitli Grade ix. and in the -llutly of sclcncc no equipment is available for experiments. although lllllllln very recent years some of- lnrt had been made to provide a Inuiil kit for experimental work but as yet. even this limited help ll in very few of our rural schools.

The present trend towards grad- ld schools in this province should mi ttrut help towards raising Jtlulllflcatlons of students 0- "lii out from them. However. t e silent in which this is true ml!

governed largely hy the attit- ude of the teacher. Those who plan ”." "lilting teaching I life profes- llln will. in most cases. take I Esmalor interest in it. and this is

out certain to have I definite "4 lmllltt effect upon the pupils.

DUCATIONAL HORIZONS:

teacher is only using the time spent in teaching as I stop-gap. or tem- porary lob. until something else is available. Poor qualifications and indifference on the teacher's part create in the pupils I lack of in- tereiit and often lead to poor dis- clpline. I have seen these things happen and have lost the greater benefits of two or more school terms because of this condition in the school.

ESSENTIALS

A teacher. to be successful. should have the desire to impart knowledge. Patience is essential. The sarcastic and indifferent teach- or places an almost impassable barrier between t and pupil.

Advances in science. " l . communications and travel have been so great that it is imperative that education in our rural and ur- ban schools should reach a point where it will enable our young peo- plc to compete successfully with other young people with whom they will be associated. A good founda- tion for an education is as nec- essary as I good foundation for I building. in too many of our rural schools the pupils have to begin with a teacher who is poorly qual- ified. but who is allowed to teach because there is I shortage of qual- ified teachers. I know from exper- lcnce the difficulties 1 have met with in Arithmetic. Mathematics and English because I did not get the proper grounding in these sub- jects.

Our Provincial Government Ind Department of Education are to be commended on the Senior High School policy which is now in its third year. The large enrolment of Grades Xi and X11 in these schools. along with the fact of an increase in attendance at Prince of Wales College. indicates that many more of our pupils are get- ting the benefits of these advanced grades.

I noticed that our Minister of Education. when he spoke on the Draft address lately. suggested that the National Film Board play a more active part in education by taking films into the schools. Visual education. teaching by mot- ion pictures, is faining ground rap- idly ln some paces. At the pres- ent time this is an expensive meth- od but results are good.

Because our province is small with limited natural resources. it

essary 'or education purposes. Yet if our young people are to get the kind of education which is nec- essary today. we will hnve to ex- pand our present system until all have the opportunity of attendance at I Senior High School. ' Winifred Th Student. Queen Charlotte High School.

MEANING AND AIMS

Before any article on education can be prepared and written, the true meaning of the word must be understood. Basically. It means de- velopment. As such it has to do with the proper upbringing of child- ren, the training of their mental und physical powers Ind the for- mation of their chsracters.

The schools of today are regard- ed as information bureaus and the teachers have the Job of import- ing knowledge to the pupils.

subjects such II geometry which we pupils feel is quite use- less. are important not so much for the material obtained witin. but for the work that must be done to master them. By till!!! the 00' sential Three. am. roadlnl. wlrtlns

EVERYONE EQUAL

At the time of our forefathers. schooling was I luxury reserved only for the well-to-do. Since that time. by various government acts. every child has been given the op- portunity to learn. No longer is money an obstacle in the path of ambitious students. Large compan- ies and wealthy private individuals have contributed to funds set aside

funds are unable to help them- selves. Even the retarded child- ren are taken care of by specially trained men and women. Education as opened the door of opportunity. No longer does one

provide the luxuries and even the necessities of life. Now we educ- ate ourselves so we may meet the requirements set up for any field of employment and go on to learn more so that we may enjoy life fully.

There are so many things to say and write on this subject; yet to me education means the way by which we raise ourselves to thc head of the animal kingdom.

WHY AN EDUCATION

Why one needs an education is a question which occurs to many young people these days. however. all I person need do is observe the happenings around him and he will see many reasons why an ed- ucation is necessary.

Everywhere one looks one may see examples of advances in tech- nology. from the automobile to the airplane great strides of progress have been made. All these have made education more necessary than ever. Without it a person can't hope to go very far in this mod- ern world.

You often hear or read of a man who stopped school in the early grades and got a job as office boy. or the equivalent. with some com- pany. Then after striving very hard for many years he finally worked his way up the ladder of success to become head of the company. In this familiar story often there are circumstances not known. such as his gain to school at night. or on his ho ldays. to make up for the education he missed when he was younger.

Secondly. if he had received the education when he was young he would have reached the same position. or a better one. earlier in life. and not have had to work so hard for it. Also. when he stari- ed out on the job there weren't so many people possessing I high school d ' or " ., de- gree. Is there Ire nowadays. Again there have been tremendous tech- nical advances since he was young. and now you need a good cdiicIt- lon to keep abreast of the times and be I success.

in North America we tend to take education for granted. but in the Middle and Far East young people our age yearn to have the same chance for learning as we enjoy. in conclusion I would say that education is a priceless gift that Itsys with us as long as we live.

Rebel Force in French Ambush Easlem Algeria

By DAVE MASON

ALGIERS IAP)-French forces ambushed I big rebel detachment in eastern Algeria Friday and killed 107 iii a running battle that went on into the night.

Parachute troops and mechan- ized units joined forces to clamp I steel pinchers on the band in the region of LaFayette. a village of 2.500 about 150 miles east of this capital city. Other rebels had just struck Algiers in I series of fire raids.

Spotter planes directed the French pursuit in the LaFayetu operation. carried out across 8 land of grain flclds. cork-oak forests and olive groves. The French admitted only one French death and said they expected the rebel casualty toll to soar.

Dispatches from neighboring Tu- nisia said 40 Tunisian rebels wcrc bringing the dsyls count of rebel dead in French North Africa to more than I60.

Steel-helmeted French troops ps- trollcd Algiers to enforce I curfew ' d after rebel guerrillas set several fires within the city and its suburbs.

The French administration. in radio and newspaper proclamations warned the French Ind Arab pop- ulation of it half million to stay off the streets between midnight and 5 a.m "

I! GEORGE KITCHEN Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON tCP)-The ques-

tion whether Richard M. Nixon will be the Republican vice-presi- dontlal candidate again this fall is r-pldly shaping up as one of the hottest issues on the American po- litical scene.

It is beginning to assume as much importance as did the now- aiuwer. ' question of President Eisenhower's own candidacy and, in some respects. it seems almost

nomination.

Nevc. in recent political history, veteran observers agree, has so much discussion arisen over a vice-presidential nomination. norm- ally I political sop decided in the dying hours of a party convention and then usually based on political expediency aimed at geographical interests. MEDICAL RISK

All of this commotion about the Republican vice-presidential nom- lnation-and it is the No. 1 topic in Washington these days-iarlses from the simple fact that Presi- dent Eisenhower. wlio has made himself available to head”the PlFlY'S ticket. is a recovered heart patient and thus a mi-dii-al risk.

Assuming Eisenliowcr carries the Republican. hack into power. this means that his vice-president will step autoiiiatically into the White House if Eiscnliowcr fails to finish out his four-year term. either through death or a relapse that would force his retirement from the presidency.

This will be the first time the U.S. voters will have a heart pa- tient as I presidential candidate. The Republican leaders are well aware that the medical risk will be in the minds of many voters in the election Nov. 6 next. despite the assurance of Eisenhower's physicians that he can do an ac- tive job in the presidency for the next five or 10 years.

Hence. the Republican concern

that its vice-presidential nominee be the moat acceptable. He will. in the public mind. be running as I sort of understudy president. He will be literally only. I heart beat. from the pi sidency.

The Republicans are in I tough spot. if they choose to dump the 43-year-old Nixon. this may be in- terpreted as a sign of party weak- ness. with a consequent loss of votes. It also would throw the sec- ond-place nomination open to I scramble from all sections of the

arty.

VULNERABILITY SEEN

if the party goes ahead witlt the controversial Califorrdan, whose rapid climb up the political ladder has cost him some popularity within his own party. it may find itself running with an unpopular candidate in the second spot. Party r ”s concede that Nixon's political sharpshooting at the Dem- ocrats in the 1952 and 1954 cam- paigns have made him vulnerable.

However. in the New Hampshire primary this week. Nixon was given a strong "write-in" endorse ment as Eisdnhower's running mate. Nixon's name was not printed on the ballot in this candi- date-preference poll. But some 20,- 000 of the 75,000 Republlca vot- ing took the trouble to write in Nixon's name as their choice.

One r port being heard here is that Nixon is being urged by party cliicftains to retire from the vice- presidency and take a cabinet post to groom him for the party's 1960 presidential nomination.

Thus far, Eisenhower has re fused to be. as he put it. "pushed into a corner" on the question of whether he wants Nixon as his running mate this year. As al- ways. he speaks highly of Nixon. describing him as a dedicated and successful vice-president. and says he is leaving it up to Nixon him- self io chart his future political course.
