Ellscstlse week

A few years ago a college professor here asked members of his class their reaction to

to were their friends, and they would much rather lose a sale than lose a friend. The orders they turned in provided the lifeblood of business. . They made business history, -and so they will again.

EDITORIAL NOTES‘

a lecture delivered the ‘previous .night by an The Govenimmt spent $3357 432 in

outstanding‘ authority in the field which they were then studying. To his horror not one student had attended, the principal. reason given being that they could not

spare the time from their studies. That attitude, that education is a thing apart, i following of a prescribed course of studies, is still all too common. We must come to realize that education is preparation for life and that it must be acquired in as varied a manner almost as life itself. Home life, play, contact with people of varied descrip- tions and under widely varying circum- stances, and in all cases active participation in the experience are the warp and woof of education. Formal education is an import- ant part of the process, and aims at uni- tying the process and providing a set of standards by which progress may be meas- ured. Everyone, however, is in a very real sense self-educated. Exposure to education means little or nothing unless the subject can contribute to the process. It is his or

_ her reaction which constitutes learning.

Although teachers cannot “lea.m" for their pupils, they have the opportlmlty and challenge of firing in their charges a desire to do that for themselves, and the responsi- bility of directing that desire along the most desirable paths.

The end result, as seen by Princess Eliza- beth, is that education “makes a people easy to lead but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave."

Splendid Entertainment

Prince Edward Islanders had an oPP°1’t\m' lty last week to view the “tops” in ice skat- ing entertainment. Not only this, but to pay sincere, if belated, tribute to Miss Barbara Anniscott who has brought fame to herself and to Canada.

In arranging for the presentation of such an outstanding attraction the management of the Forum is to be congratulated and commended.

A performance of this kind is not staged

' without great preparation and organization.

That the performance proved so successful is a tribute to the close co-operation of the nrtlmts, technicians and management. _

. While much had to be done in a short

space of time to prepare the setting for the performances, public safety measures were not overlooked. Police and Firemen were stationed at strategic points in the building and every precaution was taken to meet any emergency. This, along with the co-operation

of the public in adhering to the “no smok-

ing” regulation, added much to the success and enjoyment of the feature.

The Forum management, despite early ‘disappointments, persevered in their efforts

‘in having “Skating Sensations" perform here. It lived up to all advance publicity,

and it is hoped will be the forerunner of other great attractions combining education- al as well as entertainment values in good measure.

‘i'lle on Time “linlmlners"

_ The Ottawa Citizen has been studying the commercial field, and has come to the

. conclusion that the “Drummers” are com-

ing back. From many sources, it says, some assurance that the buyer's market is back to stay. But no one has expressed the thought more succinctly than has Mr. I... F. Bur- rows, secretary of the Canadian Horticul- tural Council, To a convention of fruit and vegetables growers recently Mr. Burrows

said, “the honeymoon period of effortless

Isles is definitely ended," and he added that

the industry would have to “fight harder than ever for the customer's dollar." Prac- tically every industry finds itself with a

similar outlook; once again business is priz-

ing that high class salesmanship that flower-

ed between the two world wars. For almost a decade there has been lit- tle need for trained salesmen. Until recently,

Summerside is understandably concerned over the prospect of losing the benefit of its contract to supply electricity to the R. C. A. F. Station there. Perhaps the best solution to aim at would be the setting up of a form of “ring-main" system by which generators at every pointcould contribute to the gen- eral supply of power. There would be the further advantage that a generator failure at any point would not deprive the locality of power, although it would add to the load carried by the remaining plants. I
