Education Week. March 4-10 is a time to look at our schools to see

' "what sort of education we are giv- ing our boys and girls in Prince

Edward Island.

Knowledge is not for youth only; Lifelong learning is ceded.

Knowledge is not to he hoarded or kept for an elite; it is to be shared with all men and all con- ditions of men.

Knowledge must not be imped- .gd or forbidden; there must be free - access to it.

- Knowledge is not enough: it must lead to understanding and wisdom.

Knowledge is not an end in it- self; it is an essential part of, and an introduction to responsible cit- ilenship.

CAAE Anniversary folder. LET'S LOOK AT OUR SCHOOLS (By Mr Clarence Mercer. M.A. M. ED. Supervisor Summerside High School.)

' We take our schools for granted. Sometimes we should look at them with a critical eye and see wh it or not they are meeting our pres- cnt day needs. Education Week is as good as any othea time for that critical look. It is a different school from the school many of you at- tended and it should be if the school is keeping pace with our times and needs. In what respect is it different?

Well. for one thing we are trying to educate more boys and girls of varying abilities. especially on the high school level. In your day. students who had no particular in- terest or aptitude for studies acade- mlcal dropped out in Grade 6. Their counterparts now try to con- tinue into Grade 10. 11. or maybe 13. In your day only the brightest and best stayed in school for these grades. They were unimpeded by the uninterested who left for the farm. for work at the store, or just wandered off. Today. even the uninterested boy remains in school II long as he can,-is forced to re main there for three reasons: 1. Because he is not needed on the labour market: 2. becaule be qual- ifies for Family Allowance: 3. be- cause there is a keen interest on flue part of parents for the child to get all the lcsming he can.

In solving the problem of keep- ing the boy or girl in school: we have , -'up it pl ' - what are we going to teach him? In many cases he does not have the interest or ability to keep pace with the others. Given a half dozen such in a class and you have a problem: under our present course of study you have six problems. SCHOOL LIFE

Now. it is a good thing to have the boys and girls in school for as long as we can pouibly keep them. They Ire the better because. if for no other reason. they are subject to the organization and discipline

pare some for the professions is not being realistic.

Today we have a wonderful op- portunity for doing something worthwhile for all. but we do very little about it. At the same time we are not too proud of what we do for those who intend. going to college because we spend so much. tirne attempting the impossible.- forclng all to cover the same course at the same time. Onl either side we do a poor job because we ignore the important factor of individual differences.

We must no longer assume that every boy and every girl who ent- ers hlgh school is on his way to college. and therefore requires a set course laid down by the un- lversitles. Only a few will enter the professions through the univer- sities or through university matri- culatlon. For the most .part, our youth should be educated to take an effective part in the life of the community as ordinary folk: they should be encouraged to stay in the community. High school education should not be tied solely to univ- erslty requirements; it should also be associated with the life of the community. Accordingly. there should be modifications in our course of study to meet the needs of the many who do not go to col- lege and who intend to live in our communities growing our crops. catching our fish. and raising our families. At this moment there is no chance.

I would suggest two streams of education beyond Grade 9.

(1) The scademlcal one leading into the university

(2) The general one leading dir- ectly into community life, or I combination of both.

I would have every student fol- low the first eight grades alike. This would hold true on the Grade 9 level but here would be the test- lng ground for aptitude and int- erest and likewise the counselling ground for parents and pupil. Those who fall Grade 9 should either re- pest it in order to follow on with the academic course or else enter the general course.

GENERAL COURSE

in the general course I would re- quire " " '- Literature. as well as a course in practical English which vmuld endeavor to teach them to speak correctly. to write correctly and to read correctly in the fullest sense of the word. I would teach them to discern be- tween propaganda and triith.-reas- onlng. I would teach them to use accurately mathematics as it would apply to businus. to the farm, and to the workshop. I would teach them science for an understanding of life, the elements. and the mach- ine I would teach them History for

making and the fundamentals that would lead them to cam a living in Agriculture. Fishing. Mechanical Work, or in Business. I would have them instructed in the art of mus- lc. in drama. in the social graces, and in good citizenship.

Specifically speaking these would appear on the General Course of Study as follows: English Literat- ure,rEnglish (G: . composit- ion, spelling. public speaking. dra- matlcs), Practical mathematics or Business Arithmetic, History. Gen- eral Science, Three of: Home Ec- onomics or Farm Mechanics (draf- ting, welding. sheet metal work), Shorthand and typing or Account- lng, Agriculture or Fishing or Woodworking, Music. The essential difference between the General Course and the Acad- emic Course is that the first treats the subject matter in a practical way. while the latter deals in the- ory requlsite to advanced study on the university level.

ACADEMIC COURSE

For the Academic Course I would not attempt to water it down as we attempt to do at times. For the benefit of my readers I will set down the course of study as it ap- pears in Grade X1. in our Acad- emc Course now in use in our schools. The course for Grade XL. shall consist of the following sub- jects: English Llterture, English Composition, Algebra, Geometry, French. Three of Latin or German: Physics: Chemistry; Biology; H Economics. The Grade Xll. course gollgws along with the same sub- ec .

GUIDANCE

For both I would institute a guidance and counselling for par- ents and students not only on the Grade 9 level but also throughout the high school course so as to facilitate changes from one course to the other where conditions, in- terests. or aptitude: warrant such change.

In order to put this program into effect, Grade 9 would have to be taken out of the one and two room classrooms, and central high school established. The present high sch- ool shouldbeutillzed for the pres- ent to initiate the program so that a general course be placed now on the course of study as an option to the present academic course.

Whatever your thoughts on the matter. I would suggest that you look at your school during Educ- ailon Week. Look at it with a crit- ical eye if you will. but visit it at any rate.

This department is conducted by the Prince Edward Island Teach- ers' Federation. Contributions are welcomed and should be sent to Estelle Bnwness, General Secret- ary. 98 Prince SL. Charlottetown.
