The Battle Of Ideas

There is much food for thought in the fol- lowing statement by Dr. Sidney Smith, presi- dent of -the University of Toronto, appearing in the News Bulletin of the Ontario Education

Association :

“After Germany and Japan are defeated

there will still be another battle to win—-the Bat- tle of Ideas. In that conflict the minds and hearts of youth will be the fighting ground. The issue in that battle will be the worth and dig- nity of the individual. \Ve know ho\v ‘education for death’ has warped the intellect and stulti- lied the conscience of the German youth, while iv pmduced in them a fanaticism for world ilomination by a self-dubbed master race. In tlzc Battle of Ideas will the democracies en- gender in their youth a dynamic to match that fanaticism, for the making of a world of dec- ency and order? To that task Canadian teach- ers must give of the best of their heart and mind. One of the first lessons to be learned hv the teacher and taught is that responsibility aiid obligations are necessary correlatives of privilege and rights. and that freedom and order need not.c:incel nut one another. In a democracy they are complementary: they must be in balance." This emphasis on the real purpose of edu- cation, as distinct from mere instruction or technical training, is timely in view 0f the many plans for improving our educational cur- ricula. As the Ottawa Journal well says in commenting on Dr. Smith's statement: “Edu- cation must concern itself’ less with teaching young people tn remember and more with teach- ing them to think. All our future is bound tip with that. \\'e may have pacts and treaties. but unless there underlie them peoples educated in the worth and dignity of the individual. in fair plav and sportsmanship and all life's sym-

pathies and mercies and pitics, they are bound KO fail."

But that is only part of the story, the statistical proof that what was jocularly referredito as “our tin- pot navy" has now become a most Qffgcfive striking force. _ _ The Royal Canadian Navy discharged bril- liantly the duty of safely convoying hundreds of troopships across the Atlantic. Yet it also. has reached out into the Arctic and the Medi- terranean. It played a. creditable part in pro- tecting prefabricated harbors that were towed to the Normandy beaches in preparation for D- Day.
