Spiritual Atmosphere Seen Need In Schools
Education w hich dispenses completely with moral and spir- itual insights can be just as much a curse as a blessing. Rev. John S. Bonnell. BD. DD. LID. DLitt, said here last ni ht
Speaking to members of the Canadian Home and School, and Parent-Teacher Federation on “Spiritual Values in Educa- tion”. Dr. Bonnell urged dele- gates to promote cooperation among home. school and church.
He said although it was not the duty of the school system to teach religious denomination- al beliefs and doctrine. parents had a right to expect an atmos- phere in schools and colleges hospitable to the growth of mo- ral and spiritual ideas.
Dr. Bonnell called for s "cru- sade of adult education" which would inform adults of what was being taught in schools and colle es.

Earlier in the day. Robert C. Shreve of St. Stephen, N.B., ur- ged the convention to take def- inite action to secure govern- ment implementation of anti- smoking measures.
He said the association h sd “great opportunity to be of ser- vice to the youth of this coun- try" by initiating a program to tell teenagers of the dangers of smoking.
Three resolutions on smoking were presented to the meeting. but all were referred to the res- olutions committee for reward- ing and later presentation.
A resolution was passed urg- ing provincial home and school associations to approach their respective provincial govern- ments to ask that standardiza- tion of basic curricula be includ- on the agenda of the next federal - provincial conference.

Scranton, who previously had accused Goldwater of nuclear irresponsibility. said he wou campaign for the Republican party. He told a press confer- ence his futile attempt to wrest the nomination from the sena- tor did achieve some results— it forced Goldwater to adopt a more moderate course.
NOT ADOPTING LINE
But a close look at his party unity speech Wednesday night indicated that Scranton was by no means adopting the Goldwa ter line. In calling on the mod crates not to bolt the party. he suggested the best way they can work for “a strong. rational foreign policy" and for equality and justice for all was by working inside the party—not,‘ outside.
There were strong indications some of the crates would turn their backs on Goldwatei in the coming battle for the presidency.
Republican Negroes said they wouldn't work or vote for Gold- water who had opposed the civd rights law during the Senate debate. Some of the white mod- erates, such as New York Sen--

At the climax of the conven- tion Wednesday night, the right- wing Goldwater ground out his victory over Scranton in a first. and last. ballot by the 1,308 vot- ing delegates as he was named presidential candidate.
Gracious in defeat, Scranton appeared before delegates who finally were willing to applaud for a change. He threw his support to Goldwater, called for
