First School Unit

The creation of School Unit No. 1 was an experiment in enlarging the administra- tive unit for the operation of schools be- yond the boundaries of a single municipal- ity. The object was to make it possible for the combined communities to give their children better educational opportunities than they could do separately.

It is true. as the Commission has found. that the cost oflthe combined operation is greater than individual school boards might have gone to had there been no amalgam-V Ition. but at the same time it must be re-I I H oognlzed that the standard aimed at would ime S”mm” have been simply unattainable by the smal- ler units.

The findings of the commission will ap- . peal to all who have the advancement of in education in this Province at heart. It is 11”” possible. of course. to find fault with par- ticular aspects of the report and of the ex-

isting set up. The advantages of the larger unit, however, certainly out weigh lll9S(' objections.

The Royal Canadian Navy is not par-. ticularly large as navies go, although in the First World War it managed to put to seal I larger number of ships than the peace-l time Royal Navy. Numbers are drastical-' ly reduced today, of course, but what the- R. C. N. lacks in quantity it makes up in quality.

i The ships are modern, well armed, effi-l cient and appropriate to the tasks which they are or may be called upon to under- take. They carry a high proportion of young men under training who are also col-1 lr-go students or active in other walks of life. lor officers and petty officers must some-. timcs wish for a greater proportion of "oldl hanrls" to make their own lot easier. i

A Century

29, 1855.

The Crimean War. then raging, helped lift the daily circulation to 6,000, despite the widespread newspaper competition which fol- lowed the lifting of the Itamp tax. For the first ten yearn, the circulation was largely local. The enterprising management chafed at this restriction.

In 1365 I contract with the Scottish railways for distributing the Scotsman over all their syn- tems paved the wIy for systema- tic sale throughout the land of the heather. The paper's circulation became national. and much larger that that of any daily outside London.

This centennial edition tell: I fascinating though fIctuIl story of expansion of production equip- ment, news services and all the facilities which tend to make I newspaper I power in the loud. AI the Scotsman hII become in its century of existence.

But back of these meelinnlcnl aspects was the journalistic genius united with integrity which Ic- tuated ihe early editors. William Ritchie, Charles MIcLai-en Ind John Mc DiIrmid and their suc- cessors. in their battles for intelli- gent human progress and discip- lined human liberty.

Charles MacLaren in 1845 gave place to the gifted Alexander Russel. followed in 1876 by Dr. Charles A. Cooper, for the first four years in association with Rev. Dr. Wallace. John P. Croal, from 1905 to 1924. guided the paper through the first world war: Sir George A. Waters was editor from 1924 to 1944, when he was succeeded by J. Murray Watson. Among the many tributes to the Daily Scotsman, including I message from Queen Elizabeth. is one from Sir Winston Churchill which epitomizes its record.

"The Scotsman is I .10 mal worthy of the proud city of ldin- burgh, in which it in produced. It represents the highest tradi- tions of British Journalism. and has long since earned its title to be regarded by Scotsman all over the world-and by Englishmen too - II I national institution."

These traditiono are loyally up- held by the Scotsmaifs latest proud owner, the Canadian Roy M. Thomson.
