Annual Montague School Ice-Sports Held Last Night

The annual Montague school ion sports were held last night, and were attended by a very large crowd of enthusiastic sPeCt3l01'3- ' The competition in all events was” keen, and the well-filled classes provided the fans with an excellent uvening's entertainment.

Besides the sports. I resulm feature of the Juvenile Leagu- was held between Souris and Mon tague. with Souris being the Vlct or by the score of 4-3. From the opening whistle in the first period. the Souris squad put on a sustain ed attack. holding the pressure to twenty minutes resulting in tbeil four goals of tile game with only one return from Montague. J. Gal lant, C. Peters. J. Clllltlm lnd 9” Paquet were the Souris marksman, and Ralph Annear netted the Mon- tague score. The scoreless seconf period saw the best juvenile hockel ever played in Montague as th- Montague team fought to get through and the Souris team it hold their lead. Dugas in th: Souris net was nothing but sensat- ional as be latched on to the oucli coming at him from all anglesj The third session was a repeat of the second period with a dazzling display of hockey of a calibre far beyond the boys' years. The pre-- gure from the Montague squad finally cracked the stonewall de- tense of the visitors. and Ralph Annenr counted two more for the

hat-trick of the night.

This leads us to one important, aspect of family life and tis con-l trol which has a direct and an immodihte effect on the success of the school program, that is the reading habits and interests of the children in the home. All surely recognize that the use or ones language. whether it be spoken, heard or written, is the founda- tion of all mental growth. Of all God's creations. man is th only one capable of determining his de- stiny by the use of words.

READING IS BASIC

Reading ability. or lack or ii, in the major determining factor in your child's progress in school. Without the skill to interpret the words he hears and sees, the young- ster is without any sense of direc- tion. All ideals, ideas. ard moral standards are determined to a very large degree by the way in which words are used. The ultimate goal of the whole educational procesl must be to cultivate the ability to do independent critical thinging and thinking can only be done through the medium of words.

So we are greatly concerned both as parents and teachers. will the reading habits of our child- ren. Is there evidence that we are in dangerous times in this respect7, Personally, I can come to only one! conclusion-that unless some pre-1 sent tendencies are checked, gen-l erations not too far removed will be unable to cope successflllly with the demands of a moral society. de- termined insofar as we are con- cerned by a Christian rcfercnce. in- deed we can well ilL' alerted to the danger to our present genera- tion of boys and girls.

Thind, on all levels the comics generally ni' ' L ' fantasies-super-men, devils and angels. crooks and cups, adventure and disaster and so on. The whole- sone direction of a child's imagina- tion is one of the most essential phases of the educative rocesa. The story of the comic more frcqently than not wholesome llll this respect.

Fourth. the typical exaggeratedi story creates and suggests crimin- al and sexually abnormal Ideas. Admittedly this is particularly characteristic of the crime and sex comics. but a careful analysis will reveal ilrls emphasis in the best of them.

HOME SUPERVISION i

If parents agree with these obscr vations. you must also agree that some deliberate and positive effort- hos to be made in the home to direct and supervise the time giv- en to reading comics. Children have In be guided to cultivate a constantly increasing interest in reading of good books and litera- llre, reflecting the accumulated

isdom of the ages.

The second menace to desirable growth and developm t of our children is the mass of reading material on our news-stands which centers on the universal subject of sex. This problem is particularly fl'il)iif'Hl)lE to the boys and girls of the age groups represented in S1'ilUi)iS such as Queen Cliarlolie. No single factor determines the happiness and satisfaction of in-- dividual living as that of sex in all its implications. And I think there is ample evidence that both the home and the school have not real- istically dealt with the implica- tlnns of the ntuallon.

Freud perhaps went too far in stating that the sex instinct is the motivating force in all human be- ings, young or old. However. it in the very centre of all interest and activity in the life of the adolescent, pre and post. The pattern of sex
