Kenneth Smith, one of the ar- tists in this year’: Community Concert Association series, sang last evening to a most privileged audience of music-lovers in the Prince of Wales College auditor- ium. .
Mr. Smith has received g-eat tributes from the critics. The fol- lowing from the New York I[er- ald Tribune is illustrative of the general remarks of the critics.

Keep Your Baby’ Near
Dear Mary Haworth: Our
neighbors are nice but we have a baffling situation. Their chil-
dren enter our house without knocking or ringing the bell.
We have a baby, 11 months
old, and they have slipped in and tormented her, yanking her hair, pinching her face, then running away.
Until yesterday I had said
nothing to their mother of this- since in the past she has im- plied disapproval of certain ac- tions of our older children. (I qustioned my— children
after- wards and administered‘ punish-
ment as deserved.)
But the latest hair pulling
brought me flying. I picked up the offender——this was his third or fourth offense—carried him across the yard and deposited him inside his own fence. His _. mother came out to ask what was wrong and when I told her, 3 she paddled him. Now she has

“The selection of Kenneth Smith was sheer inspiration. His voice, being closely controlled, silky and boundlessly resonant, could not have been more ideal. And his musicianship was such that each utterance, delicately timed and compassionately gentle trough- Ollt. Simply sent chills int one’s naP€- NO!‘ was there a single fall from such heavenliness in the en- tire evening."
WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS The Arch Villain
In Education
I have been following United otates as well as_ Canadian dis- cussions on Education in the press and over the air waves and it is an interesting fact to me that both coimtries are greatly womied over practically similar problems.
What to do about acute Teach- er Shortage? Lack of school build- ings and equipment? Wastage of so much of the “brain potential” in our young people? And what changes to make in our courses of study — and methods of teach-
mg? ARCH VILLAJN — MONEY
Money of course, is considered the Arch Villain in both countries, More money- "higher salares for teachers resulting in higher stan- dards, better teaahers. More money — more school buldings. more equipment. More money — more financial aid for bright young people to continue their education. (It is estimated that only one out of three of Canada’s “young -People with exceptional 1. Q5 finish high school. In the U.S. only one third of the top students enter ‘college after high ocliool graduation — and it is be lievied lack of hands is the 0111186 in a great many cases).
(Many gifted pupils have not been given the stimulus tihey need to continue their education. More and better teach-ers, more class-rooms mean smaller class- es, more individual attention for — and other children). MINOR. VILLAIN
“Progressive Education" rath- er than lack of money has been held responsible by many for the “frills” that have crept‘ into the curricula —- and for the lax dis- cipline in class rooms. Yet I be- lieve that only a very small per- centage of the schools in Canada have been influenced by “pro- gressive” ideas. And I know that the majority of.schools in the states are traditional in method if not entirely in subject matter. It takes a really good teacher to permit discussion, easier (though not “lax”) discipline, encourage- ment of thought rather than me- mory work.
UNDERLYING WEAKNESS
To thinking people in both coun- tries the real, underlying weak- ness in our Educational Systems, is not Money, but the compara- tively small regard for the high- est values in life shown by the comparatively small amount of money the majority of people are willing to contribute toward edu- cation. (it has been estimated that a householder in Toronto pays 25 cents per day for educa-
EBENEZER W. I.
The April meeting of Ebenezer W. I. met at the home of Mrs. Alex Ford on April 3. The meet- in; opened by repeating the Mary Stewart collect. The roll call was answered by eleven members and one visitor.
The minutes of the March meet- ing were read aiid approved. Cor- respondence, which included sev- eral thank - yous, was read and discussed. It was moved and sec- onded to send a donation to the Crippled Children's Fund.
The school committee is Mrs. Malcolm Andrews and Mrs. Hu- bert Oatway. The sick committee reported sending several cards.
The new committee is Mrs. Allison Macl.eod and Mrs. Emer- son MacLeod. The May meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Dan MacLeod w ill! Mrs. John MacDonald and Mrs. Ken Mac- Rae to assist with lunch.
A very successful auction sale of remnants was held from which a substantial sum was realized. The meeting closed by repeating the Lord's Prayer and lunch was ‘9If\'€d by the hostess and com- mittee in charge.

And this slight regard shows in the comparative lack of interest in the subject of education in the community, in tlhe country. Some how scholarship has not captured the imagination as does achieve- ment in sports, adventure, etc., Nor is personal integrity, honesty, willingness to disagree, held in high esteem. Pleasantness, being a good mixer, are fine qualities but this space age calls for tough- er fibred, higher spirited citizens. Our schools a.ren’t something a- part. The qualities we wish to cultivate in our children must be present in our business, in our homes — It is the same in Can- ada -— the same in -the United States.
her children and my 3-year-old. HOSTILITY DEVELOPES
I don’t want her to feel that
her children aren’t welcome to
play in our yard; or that I think my child rearing methods are better than hers. I haven’t touched her children, except to put the youngster over the fence, as said. Yet she seems to feel antagon~istic.
We live between two related families; and the young cousins have pitted our children against each other, and the other cou- sins. One of the cousins’ untruths to her parents and other kin have caused us much unpleasant- ness; and this same cousin in- troducted our older girle to smoking last summer.
' We are proud of our children. They are healthy, with good minds and a fine family spirit. We are teaching them honesty, gentleness and loyalty. As with all children, ours are sometimes naughty, other times sunprisingly nice. ,
How do I cope with the neigh- bors? Am I in error? Or are they? I must take a fair stand
