Federal Aid For Education

The following sQZISOlI brought even worse results, Finally it occurred to the farmer that his prize corn was will}! lwllillillcd by the poor-grade corn of his neighbor's.”

'l'lii> stin-y, says the (ilolm iiiiil Mail, con- l£llll> Vllill iiuiiliczitioii in the field of educa- lltlll. Lillllflllli, consisting of nine separate Prov- inccs with widely varying resources and, conse- quently, with widely differing abilities to pro- \ltlt‘ services, cannot hope to prosper and 21:0“! in such a wziy as to become a. strong, united Canada. We must realize that, as a. modern world nation, the security and welfare of our O\\'n local portion oi the \yorld community can no longer be safeguarded by ordering only the life of our local community 0r only that of any one Province.

The basis of true citizenship lies in an understanding of and in a. belief in a nation's ideals and ideology. The most effective method. lf not indeed the only method, of promoting this esscntiabunderstaiiding and belief is proper education. Citizenship is granted by the na- tion, not by the component parts 0f the nation. [t should, therefore, be the responsibility of the whole nation to see that the steps to true citi- zenship are equally accessible in each of the component parts.

“That these steps are not: equally acces- sible in all our Canadian Provinces has been imply proved,” says the Globe and Mail. “The reports of Dr. Kenneth Argue on the compara- tive abilities of Canadian Provinces to finance education should be required reading. These and many other reports have forcefully shown that many of the Canadian Provinces cannot, on the basis of present conditions, properly pro- vide a decent Canadian level of educational services. Can we conscientiously claim a one- ness of Canadian citizenship when we have one standard of education in Prince Edward Island lnd a vastly different standard iri British Col- Can we conscientiously expect to at- tain Canadian unity and yet maintain nine edu- cational systems differing in ability to provide services, differing in standards of instruction, and lacking any effective method of integra- tion or of comparing ultimate ends?

“It would seem that the responsibility of tin Federal Government is at least twofold. First, financial assistancrmust be provided the Provinces on. the basis of needs so that each Province may provide services of at least a de- llrable Canadian level. This does not imply Federal control of education. It does, how- our, insply that the Federal Government has the tight to require certain standards of educa- tsi achievement in each of the Provinces.

0nd, the Federal Government should pro- wide ' for effective interchange of educational ideas, for effective tap-ordination of edumlionel aims and plans, and for effective mflsurcment of educational progress. This would involve the provision of adequate facil- lfies for educational research.

“If Canada, a a nation, is to fulfil her re- ‘eponsibility to her individual citizens of tomor- row; if Canadians are to fulfil their responsi- bility to Canada so that Canada may properly participate in the Stfl‘”~l6 for world peacej then all Canadians must have adequate opportunity to be trained. To achieve this’; money for edu- cation must be obtained wherever in Canada. wealth exists and spent wherever in Canada

A Hot Tariff Potato

According to the Ottawa Journal Finaiice Minister Ilsley is about to drop his budget res- olution for a. 2o per cent duty on steel pipes and tubes.

Whereby hangs a tale, whidi the Journal relates as follows:

"When Mr. Ilsley slipped this tariff in- crease into Hansnrd without as much as a word about it not a soul in the House detected

tected it for a long time had it not been for the eagle _eye of the Winnipeg Free Press’ Grant Dexter. . . . Mr. Dexter was outraged. Here

The Province has done better than the most optimistic‘ anticipated in subscribing to the 9th Victory Loan Campaign. It is simply magnificent that a population of 95,00<H>dd should contribute over five million dollars at this particular time. l ' it i: Ill n:

The magnificent record of this Province in patriotic endeavour recalls the refrain of the jingoistic song:

We don't want to fight

But, by jingo, if we do

We've got the will,

We've got the men,

And we've got the money too.

Guadalcanal, of the British Solomon Pro- tectorate, was invaded by Japan this date 1942; aggressive action by U. S. troops checked the advance, and by- a fierce struggle, including the naval victory of the U. S. Fleet, restored the Southern Solomon Islands to their former own- ers. ‘I a‘ ‘l a.

Here is a suggestion the City Council may profitably act upon. Why not ask the Naval authorities for the Destroyer Assiniboine, now ashore at South Lake, have it towed ashore at Charlottetown as headquarters for the Yacht Club or Navy League? It can be had. for the asking, as it is en route to the “bone yard."

The passing of Mr. Richard S. Ina, bro- ther of the late Premier Lea, removes an- other of our successful Islanders abroad, and one who was proud of his birthplfioe, making it his second home. He enjoyed an international reputation as an engineer, and was as often en- gaged working on problems in Europe, Asia and Africa as he was on tihis continent. He was a student at Prince of Wales College in a brilliant class which included ex-Chief lus- tice Mathiesori and Sir Andrew MacPliail. Sympathy goes out to his widow, who has come to love the Island, and returns to it every year after spending the winter in Montreal and the south. a in v it

The English, French and Hungarian elec- tions make it clear that European opinion is moderate and not revolutionary, Mr. Douglas Jerrold, editor of the New English Review, and publisher, said in an interview in Montreal. The English Labor government, in his opinion, would not have lot a mandate from the people if‘! hcd been a socialist government in the inter- national acceptance of that term. It wanted to nationalize the banks and the mines, For a long time these had been partly run by the state. Mines-had been under sortie measure of gov- ernmentpcntmi since the last war. The same applied to electrical power. It was already under municipal control, and all the government would down unify the system. The Labor gov- ernment did not propose to nationalize agri- culture commerce, general industry or distri- bution. Four groups, said Mr. lerrold, voted for Labor: organized labor, black-dialed labor. the agricultural workers and the independent sniall business and professional classes. He be- lieved none of these voted for revolution, rhougbthe last group had swung left for the first time and it was not certain iust what they expected. He thought there would be s complete continuity in foreign policy and no change in colonial policy. Questioned about Europe, Mr. lerrold said he considered that the most important problem in the world today was the restoration of freedom to the nations ;of western and southern Europe. The problem of Germany could not be solved before this was done. There miist be some form of v...- em European federation, and it must come as It would like
