The Small College

A complaint" sometimes made against the small college is that it fails to provide the broad and com- prehensive view that is an essential ingredient of a well-rounded liberal education. Many a young person has been advised not to "waste" his time l.n one when he might just as easily acquire admission to a larger insti- tution where he could expect to broaden his perspective and widen his intellectual horizons. Only a few years ago this confusion of bigness with worth was an academic fash- ion, so much so that many small and highly efficient colleges were hard put to justify their claim to public recognition.

There are signs now, however,

of a more reasonable evaluation of the small college. Educators, in in- creasing numbers, are expressing doubt that bigness is necessarily the one thing needful in any school-or educational system. Some are going IO far as to suggest that in certain circumstances the small institution may have distinct advantages over the larger one. One of these advan- tages, in the opinion of Dr. Albert C. Jacobs, President of Trinity Col- lege in Hartford, Conn.. is the spec- ial facilities it offers for encourag- ing bright students to keep ahead of dullness. In declaring his intention. and that of the trustees. to keep Trinity "geared to small classes and high academic standards", Dr. Jac- obs referred to the "tragic error of providing one pattern of education on an assembly line process suitable only for the average or mediocre student".

It is sometimes argued that the bigger a college is. from the stand- point of student enrolment, the more likely it is to be able to obtain and keep the most highly qualified teachers. Fortunately, this argu- ment is not as respectable as it once was. Dr. Jacobs himself is, by all accounts, one of the foremost educa- tors in America; yet he has elected to remain in a relatively small col- lege. despite more lucrative offers

-. elsewhere. Other gifted teachers and administrators have made a similar preference, to their own credit and much to the advantage of

the West has sent; "The Soviet Gov- ernment understands fully the ef- forts of the Indian Government to secure peace"--Premier Bulganin. It is a fact that relations be- tween Mr. Nehru and the West are not as cordial as they were before the setting up of SEATO, which Mr. Nehru professes to believe is a hindrance rather tharfan aid to peace in Asia. This view, of course, suits the Russian purpose admirab-

ly; before the visitors leave New Delhi they can be counted on to elaborate lavishly on the Prime

Minister's wisdom in that respect. From that to India's sympathy for Russia's antipathy towards NATO may not be an inevitable step; but that the Russians will find ways of suggesting it is a certainty.

Every device known to cunning men will be used in an attempt to persuutlc India that her true des- tiny lies not with the West but with Russia and Communist China. "In- dia's good neighbours”, as Premier Bulganin described them. How Mr. Nehru will react to all this remains to be seen. However. one statement he made in his welcoming speech must have heartened his visitors considerably: "Our two countries are very close to each other, and I am glad that every day bonds of friendship a r e being f u r t h e r strengthened."

EDITORIAL NOTES

In putting a container of Island earth on display at the Royal Fair in Toronto. Mr. T. E. Rowley not only drew public attention to the richness of our soil but, at the same time, gave many native Islanders who are now living in other parts of Canada an unusual and much ap- preciated pleasure.

It is reported that Moroccans acted so hoisterously when the word "independence" was mentioned by Sultan Mohammed ben Youssef in his enthronement speech that many of them fainted from sheer excite- ment. They'll have to control their emotions better than that if they hope to make a success of their newly acquired status.

"With the return to the Sherif- ian Throne of His Majesty Sidi Mohammed ben Youseff", said a French Government spokesman the other day, "the way is henceforth open for constructive negotiation of Moroccan problems". The sultan must find that fine talk amusing. Less than six months ago -the French were referring to him as "that troublemaker". How things change, to be sure!

0 I C It may have been just a coincid- ence that the C.P.R. decision to re- move Greenock from the Empress

the colleges fortunate enough to re- tain their services. Anyone who might be disposed to inquire into this thesis would not have to go far to prove its validity.

. India, The Big Prize

If the recent Foreign Ministers' Conference had not ended so unsat- isfactorily, the current visit of So-

” viet leaders to India could be con- sidered as little more than anact of courtesy towards Prime Minister Nehru who visited Moscow a few months ago. But, as matters stand. with a harsh renewal of cold war practices as about the best -that can be expected in the foreseeable fu-

ture, the visit takes on lmportant,.

and perhaps sinister, implications. . The one plain fact that emerged from the Geneva meeting was that the Soviet Union is determined to extend its influence to its farthest possible limit: Mr. Molotov left no doubt on that score when he as good I as told-the We-stern delegates that , Russia would sell--or give-arms .. -to any country that might be ex- pected to make trouble for the Western alliance. It is obvious that India is the big Asiatic prize coveted by the Soviet

' . rulers. Obvious, and understandable:

of Scotland's Canada-United King- dom run was made when Dame Flora MacI.eod was away from home. On the other hand, it could have been planned that way on the theory that. the chief not being around, the Scottish opposition to the move would be less articulate. But. surely they ncvcr thought they could get away with a trick like that! O O 0

The demand for more comfort- able living conditions has reached right out to the "crossroads of the

Atlantic". T h e lightship "Nan- tucket" which for years has been the stormy link between the old

world and the new is to be moved a few miles to the southwest so that its crew will be subjected to less danger from winds and currents) The purpose is, of course, most commendable. Nevertheless, it will provide a lot of amusement for old retired.seamen, who are quite sure that going to sea is not the adven- turous thing it used to be.

Probably because of the new tensions that are abroad, the Rus- sian newspaper men who have been visiting the United States did not

A BRILLIANT SCHOLAR (The late D. A. Mncllael

Sir,- In the life history of the late Donald Alexander MacRae. Ph. D., native of Canoe Cove, that recently appeared in The Guardian. certain interesting and remarkable facts in connection with his ed- ucation were unfortunately omitted. The most remarkable of these is. perhaps, the fact that Donald Alex- ander popularly known as D. A did not enter Dalhousie University alma mater. by the usual steps of his high school or Junior College. It is true he passed at an early teen-age, and at the head of the list, the junior matriculation at Prince of Wales College that ex- isted in his public school days. But he did not attend this famous col- lege. Instead of doing so, be im- mediately after his matriculation secured a position in Prowse Bros.' clothing store. and spent upwards of seven years there as a through- Iy efficient clerk behind the count-

er.

D.A., however. thirsted for high- er education. and during the long winter evenings of the last Vcar nr two he spent behind the count- er. he spent his leisure hours in studying. partly under private tutors, the various subjects re- quired for entrance to Dalhousle University. and in 1894 he applied for matriculation to that institution with the request that he be allowed to compete for an entrance schol- arship. The Principal for that year, however. informed him re- gretfully that he could not compete legally for a Dalhousie entrance scholarship as the entrance schol- arships were specifically provided for ex-students of Maritime high schools, including P. W. C. which he did not attend. The Dalhousie principal, however, was greatly impressed with I). A's conversat- ion and personal appearance, and offered to test his scholastic stand- ing by a private examination. To this proposition 1). A. readily con- sented, and in a few days after his examination he was called to the office of the Principal who told him he had examined his papers and he was going to allow him to compete for a scholarship even if he, the principal of Dnlhousie Un- lversity. lost his position for al- lowing him to do so.

D. A. competed and won his scholarship; and year after year his Island friends read with great pleasure the announcement that I). A. Macllae of Prince Edward Is- laud had passed his year's course in Arts at Dalhousie University, leading his class each year with unusually high honors in all sub-

iered Cornel University winning a fellowship worth 51000 a year. and as stated in the recent life-sketch in The Guardian he both studied and taught in the classics for sev- eral years at Cornell, and after- wards at Piinceton University. After his graduation in law at Os- goode Hall. he held for ten years the position of Dean in Dalhousie Law School, and finally, a similar position in Osgoode Hall for over twenty years. and was recognized during this period as one of the leading legal authorities in Canada.

Like the late Sir Andrew Mac- phail of Orwell, Donald Macliae had a touch of ancestor worship in his veins, and until recent years he seldom during his holidays foil- ed to visit the old homestead of his father and mother. the late Finley and Anne MacNevin Mac- Rae,.at Canoe Cove. His lofty learning at no time in his pro- fessional career deprived him of the common touch, and he loved to share for a season in the homely

, s of country life on his native Is and. A fitting symbol of his filial affection was to be found for years before his death in the old spinning wheel of his mother that he kept carefully guarded in the well-fumished parlor of his home in Toronto.

In his religious life too, Doctor MacRae remained unmoved from his early Christian faith, instilled and nourished in him in his fathers home. and in the old Church of Scotland at Canoe Cove. new unit- ed with the Presbyterian church in Canada. At the time of the larger church union in Canada, he joined the United Church and re- mained up to the time of his death a steadfast member and older in his home church on Bloor Street,

This gigantic efforj. by 5,000 sci- entists scattered from the Arctic to the Antarctic and around the equator will reach a peak in 1957- 58. designated the International Geophysical Year.

Never before has man under- taken such an ambitious project. The scientists believe the data they assemble will be not only of im- mediate practical use but will form the foundation of studies for the next 100 years.

ETERNAL QUESTION

For the million or so years man has been on earth he has been at the mercy of ice. floods, earth- quakes and storms. Continents have risen and disappeared. Mll- Iions of fertile acres have turned to desert. Civilizations have been displaced.

The scientists know these things- Their eternal question is why? What is happening to the earth?

In the 18 months July 1, 1957, to Jan 1, 1958, the scientists will study solar activity, longitude and

latitude. gl y. oceanography, geomagnetism. aurora and air glow, ionosphere physics, seis-

mology, gravity. cosmic rays and the upper atmosphere.

As part of the effort of the United States a man-made satellite will be forced into space to orbit around the planet 200 to 800 miles up where it will measure the density and composition of the air, check the dis t a u c e s between continents, measure ultra-violet ray emana- tions from the sun and b. i all this information back to the earth. ,

This satellite may be manfs first rung on a ladder to the stars.

IGY is not the first international scientific effort. There have been two smaller ones known as the first and second international polar years of 1882-88 and 1932-33. They were organized for Arctic obser- yations in the fields of magnet- ism. mereoi-ology and the aurora.

HEART WORKS HARDER

Actually, lying in bed might cause your hearts left ventricle to work harder than it should. with pulmoua y congestion re'lt- lng. Your heart does not rest more just because you are reclining. Standing quietly causes less card- iac output than lying down.

One big advantage in the arm- chair method is the improvement in the patients mental atitude. Naturally, you're going to feel a lot better mentally it you 11'! have to lie in bed all the time.

Your doctor might not advise this type of therapy in your case. But if he does--and don't try it without his orders-here is what he'll probably tell you to do.

During the first and second days you will be permited to sit in a chair for 15 minutes to half an hour. Rest your feet comfortably on the floor.

Gradually, this time for sitting is increased. As a rule, the sitting up period is doubled. or almost doubled, each succeeding day un- til you are spending from six to eight hours in a chair every day.

This program. however, might have to be modified in some cases. That's up to your doctor: don't try it without his pcIl'Ill5SIOII.

Just because you can sit up. don't think you can walk around. You should not. And you must have aid in geting to and from the chair.

Answer: If your wife has a non- infectious iype of tuberculosis, it is not likely that you would con- tract the dlsease from her.

However, periodic tests of her sputum are advisable to deter- mine whether or not the infection has become active again.

Overtalien by darkness as they followed deer tracks. two Timmins hunters spent a night beside a fire. circled by howling wolves. Therer was quite a piece in the papers about it. Upon careful reading of the news report, one learns that the men did not see the wolves; it is dark at night. Accordingly they did not use their weapons- e rifle and e shotgun-but threw sticks in the brush when sounds seemed to indicate that the ani- mals were closing in. The prom- inence given this narrative of two men, back to back, guarding their lives. is bound to bring forward disbellevers in wolf homicide. A Lands and Forest official states that these hunters had nothing to fear: the wolves would not have approached any closer. In his book, Wolves Don't Bite, the late James

"Curran reported that the Algoma

Wolf Club had never been able to find an authenticated record of an attack upon man anywhere in the world- The biological service in Washington wrote that its files con- tained no record of wolves in North America ever killing people. Some years ago. Douglas Robertson of The Telegram wrote to the Russian government and asked about re- ports of wolves attacking serfs. The reply was that no case had been authenticated. That was be- fore the revolution.

Granted that during the next few years there will be cousiderauie demand for more spacious homes, some builders may strive to meet it and thus take advantage of the marketing possibilities. The vital question probably will be whether or not they can find ways and means of providing large home; at prices the potential customers will pay and on terms they can handle. That, of course, has long been the vital question for a great many construction outfits and would-be home owners. -Edmon- tan Journal.

There are some people who ah. hor holidays. Deprived of the roul- ine or the satisfaction of their jobs. even temporarily. such people are singularly unhappy. For to them their work is their life. The ldlosyncracies of those who prefer to work, even though entitled to holiday: with pay. poses no pro- blem except in trade union circles. The influential British weekly, Time and Tide, reports that there have recently been a number of strikes or threatened strikes by organized labor in the United King- dom, in order to compel fellow workers to take full advantage of their annual leave, even though, for purely personal reasons, some wished to stay at work for all or part of the holiday period. Forcing men to take holidays when they don't wish to do so is surely no- thing more than a vexatious inter- ference with thc rights of the in- dividual. --Woodstock Sentinel-Rm v ew.
