tirely too few people. and we take Iwhat, is given to us. For example. in few people in our Government itock it into their heads to tlouble tthcir own salaries. They had the money and the power. It was very easy for them to do what. they did, but it was a most undemo- cratic procedure. If it had been put to a vote in the country it vtbuld have been turned down flat. Farmers are ptissiili: through hard times and they have to help pay the bills the Government. runs up with such haste.

Democracy here in Canada has yet. to be learned. mill the most- effr-ctive way is through the home and the school. It was thought that Israel could be started off as I democratic nation. but they .m.ade a bad beginning. Isaac loved Esau. and Rebeccs made a pet of lJacob .and that woi'ked out badly for Israel ever after. That. cleavage began at home and went right down through the nation until it. split the country into pieces. Every harmonious and well-gov-

l I have been reading the text of an address delivered to at group of school administrators by Dr. Victor Butterfleld of University in Connecticut. Perhaps it. is well to mention that Dr. But.- terfleld belongs to what might be called the "middle notch" in pre- sent. day Intellectual circles rath- er than to the so-called "top notch", a place reserved for a few of the calibre and near mysticism of Robert I-Iutchlm.

This is no disadvantage; in fact. it seems to add weight to his views, for the simple reason that the language in which they are clothed is more easily understood by the average serious minded student of contemporary thought tn the field of education.

0 I I

One of the very bright character- istics of Dr. Butt.erfleld's assess- ment. of current school problems is the complete absence of mine- calllng and arbitrary condemna- tion whlch. unfortunately spoil much of the otherwise helpful criticism which is abroad today with respect to educational goals and methods.

He sees no one panacea for the ills which beset education in these days; and that is not surprising, since they are in the main reflec- tions of the things that all? troub- ling society as a whole. ot. once does he melitioli labels like "tra- ditlonallsm" and "pronesuiviam" which are being tossed around as if one (depending on the point. of view) were the golden key to open the doors of knowledge to all who seek it, and the other a frightful stumblingblot-k to all that is good and fair in life.

The only adjective he puts be- fore thc word "education" is "lib- ersl"; he doesn't; say so but. pre- sumably, he uses that one only because he believes that education which does not encourage free (Latin "llber") inquiry and gen- eral (no distinct from compart- mental) enlargement. of intellec-

tual powers is not education at nlll Bi”0Wth.
