A HEAD COLD USUALLY

What, have always been. called "head colds’ are now known to be more than a “c0lcl" or inflamma- tion of the lining of the nose and throat, but also a cold or inflam- mation of the sinuses adjoining the nose. For, after all, these cavities or hollcws are just. depres- sions in the bones of the face and are really extensions of the same lining or mocous membrane as the nose itself. “It is not possible. therefcre, to have inflammation of the lining of the tics: without some inflammation of the sinuses."

In speaking of the acute cold — head cold-before the Prst-Grad- uate Institute of the Pltltdﬁljllllll Medical Society, D1‘, Karl Mllssgf" I-Ictiser, University of Peiinsylvatiia. stated that fsr couvetiiciice’ sake three stages should be recogirzrd.

COMPULSORY 50-1-0 INSURANCE

L --____ =$11‘.—With our tourist traffic inning rapid momentum, and om- highwﬂy program promising huge expansion over the next few years, I am inspired m submit; the feast- blllly of our Government in pm- Vldmz such a blll at; its next: sea. slon as would take care of motorlug accidents.

It, is found that, the car-owners who are most iii need of insurance are often without it when an accl- dent occurs, so that the injured parties are unable to get, redfegg,

It is for the better protection of the innocent thud party that in- surance should be made compm- soiy.

A bill could provide that insur- ance should cover all damages and injuries caused by motor vehicle; lTPF-‘Sbectlve of the way 1n wlfch U193’ have been caused. The mly ease which would not be covered would be where the injured party had with intent: become injured. In some wuntrles the liability be pay damages ln connection with motor accidents Ls based on the re- verse rulc of proof, which means that if an injured party claims that he or she was Injured by a. motor vehicle, the onus of proof Ls on the driver to show that; he was not at. fault in causing the injury. This iule has added to the difficul- tlvs of both car owners and insur- ance companies.

Mary would get; as much "mind-train- ing" through reading her beloved books; Hilda would get as much mind-training from wrltlhg oom- positions; Johnnie would get just as much mind-training from “tin- kering with machinery", and, of course, each would profit, 1m. ‘nietasurably more.fr0m subjects tn

1n the magazine "Time" of De- cember 13, 1937, there ls this statement: "The schools of every nation on earth have been pro- foundly affected by Dr. Thomdikeb facts. An old theory of learning was that certain subjects, particul- arly the classics, were especially useful for training the mind, Thorndike tried out: this theory by experiment and found it did not work. His findings hastened the departure of Latin and Greek from school curricula."

to train the mind. It:

ls now agreed by all leaning

. psychologists, that subjects should be studied on their own merits. Professor Angeli says: "No study should have a place in the currlcultun for which this general disciplinary char. acterlatfc (mind-training) is me chief recommendation. The 1m trlnslc values of each study afford a. far safer criterion of educational work than any which we can de- rive from the theory of Iomnu dlsclpllne (mlnd-trafnfngl."

Dr- Dewey says: “It is desirable to expel the notion that. some sub- jeots are inherently ‘intellectual’ and hence possessed of an almost magical power to train the faculty of thought."

Professor Heck says: “Mental discipline is the most important thing in education but‘ it is specific not general. The ability developed by means of one subject can be transferred to another subject only tn so far as the latter has cle- ments in common with the form- er tLatin and French). Abllttlf-h should be developed in school only by means of those elements of subject-matter and of method that are common to the most valuable phases of the outside environ- ment.”

That last. statement seems espe- cially significant iu comiestion with the present coutrovzuxsy over the curriculum in the common schools of the rural districts of P.E.I. Since Latin imd French, Algebra and Geometry are not any better for “training the mind" than any other subjects, why not stud-y subjects “that. are common to the most valuable phases of the outside environment", as Professor Heck says. Why not study subjects that will, tn themselves, prove of value tn that. large majority who

will spend their lives in an agri- cultural envlronment? Why not give that majority wt least; an els- mentary knowledge of chemlstw and physics, and a more thorough knowledge of agriculture, instead of Latin and French, Algebra. and geometry? Why not glve the boy: a. chance to “tinker with machin- ery" and the girls an understand- lng and love for the supremely important house-hold duties which will fall to the share of most; of them? l/Vﬁy not at least try to lnstll in these boys and girls an ability to read and a love for read- ing, so that the long winter nights may be filled with usefulness and beauty?

._.___________ A FALSE THEORY OF l LEARNING

Sun-Before getting back to a discussion of any one subject in the present curriculum of the Com- mon Schools of Priiiee Edward 1s- lnnd. it is very important to free ourselves front a false, deep-root- ed idea that is in large part at the bottom of this curriculum. It l: the idea that so many of I15 clinp to the idea that certain subjects notably Latin and Greek, Mathe- matics imd Grammar, are of great and particular value for the put- poso of “training the mind."
