NOV. 16, 1953 Passing M The common Laborer The unskilled worker is rapidly becom- .1g obsolete in this age of machinery. There was a time when every job, big or small, required its large quota of ”common labourers" but, as was noted at the recent meeting of the Atlantic Regional Employ- ment Advisory Comniittcc in Halifax, they are today practically in the unemployable stage. The change is less advanced in this Province. probably, than in most areas but it is none the less taking place and the importance of apprenticeship training in- creases rapidly. The need is partly met by the work of the Vocational School but the numbers so trained are inadequate to as- surc the rising generation of being pre- pared to take their place in an industrial- ized world. A major difficulty is the tendency for youngsters just out of school to take what seems to them to be well-paying employ- ment which in fact leads nowhere. Rather than start at the bottom in a trade in which they will be liabilities rather than assets for a number of years, and are paid accordingly, they will take the immediate dollar. By the time they have realized their mistake they probably have family respon- sibilities and the difficulty of making a fresh start is very great indced. Parents can do much to guide their children into more promising fields and the schools are beginning to assume some responsibility for similar EUidimC9- Em' ployers. too, look ahead to their future need of skilled workers and Pay beginners more than their immediate productivity would warrant. The problem is far from solved, however, for money talks and when it is near it can be heard most readily. Example is more effective than preach- ing and it may well be that as a larger proportion of the population acquires skills the youngsters will the more readily be im- pressed with the desirability of aiming at attaining a recognized position in the com- munitv when they have reached mature vcars-urathcr than just "getting a which will enable them to spend freely at once. World Medical Schools The. first World Directory of Medical Schools has been compiled in Geneva in the offices of the World Health Organiza- tion, which has been at work on the sub- ject for the past two years, especially through the International Association of Universities members. Five hundred are listed and beside most of them is informa- tion citing name and place of school; when founded; how administered; length of aca- demic year: conditions of admission; num- ber of full-time and part-time teacliers; en- rolment by sex; number admitted annually; language of instruction: years of study rc- ; quired to obtain a degree; degrees obtain- able; annual tuition fees. Obviously this directory will be of im- mcnsc value to candidates wishing to enter such schools. It will also help govern- mental and other organizations who are 'granting aid to staff members or others for further study. The World Health Or- ' ganization granted l.(lt)(l such fellowships last year to doctors. nurses. and sanitary engineers. In reporting upon the publication. .thc New York Times notes that although the sixty-one medical schools of the Soviet Un- ion are listed, information stops right there. The Timcs points out that the sixty-one however is the largest number of any coun- try except the United States which has seventy-nine. Japan has forty-six, of which twenty-one have been established since the end of the war; India, thirty-four; Great Britain twenty-seven; France twenty-five; and Italy twenty-one. Canada according to the latest report of the Bureau of Sta- tistics has twelve, of which four are in Ontario, and three in Quebec. ' The Survey adds that even the highly Jdcvgloped countries have failed to provide medical training facilities to ac- feommodate all applicants and have also ?f'fbIl'IIN to produce enough doctors and nurses i;'lb..meet thelincreasing demand. While con- thls criticism it should be remem- 5"bi:red that medical colleges must have con-' i'ti,cction.with hospitals where the students diihioul teaching and experi- inure, Eco must be research centres theyccn get information VIC is becoming increasingly the students should be able 1'01)" I . A 4. to profit by the expanding role of preven- tive medicine and of public health. In oth- er words the tremendous development of medical science during these past few decades throws an increasing burden upon medical training schools. It also to some extent conditions the numbers of students which may be profitably received. Russia's llvtindilng Livestock One of the chief weaknesses of the Soviet Union has been its failure to pro- duce sufficient food for its population, This has been admitted in a speech recently de- livered by N. W. Krushchev, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Here are Krush- chev's own figures of the size of the live- stock herds of the U.S.S.R., by millions of heads: Cattle Cows l-logs Sheep & Goals 1916 c. 58.4 28.8 23.0 96.3 1923 -.. sax 33.2 ' 27.7 114.6 .1941 .1 54.4 27.8 27.5 91.5 1953 56.6 24.3 28.5 109.9 zette, show that there was a considerable increase in the livestock herds from 1916 to 1928. But in this period the Soviet Gov- ernment permitted a wide extent of private ownership and enterprise in farming. In 1929 the collectivization program be- gan. Under its influence production has sagged, so that (with the exception of hogs) all the livestock herds are lower now than they were in 1928. During the same period the population of the country has greatly increased. In view of these official Communist fig- ures it becomes a little difficult to under- stand how 'Krushchev can go on to say: ”The collective farm system, created under the leadership of the Communist Party, has decisive advantages over any privately own- ed agricultural production-both small- scale peasant farming and large-scale cap- italist production." EDITORIAL NOTES Canada is almost doubling her last year's contribution of 5800.000 to the U.N. technical assistance program. Costly as it is, the money spent is really an investment in higher living standards for the world and, of course, richer markets for interna- tional trade. Therc are advantages in the buyerls imarket in potatoes. In such conditions quality counts and there is a strong induce- ment to improve packaging. The present . year will no doubt see a very superior pro- -duct being supplied and markets cultivated which will prove highly profitable in fu- ture. I The latest tribute to Sir Winston Chur- chill is a plaque at the Misses Thompson pschool at Hove, England, commemorating ,”the naughtiest small boy in the world." .The British Prime Minister somehow re- tains an air of cherubic naugiitiness to ,counterbalancc the weight of years and statecraft. O C O The extension of co-operation in the i atomic energy field announced by the chair- man of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commis- sion is warmly welcomed in this country i and in the United Kingdom. We could each ”gang our ain gait" but it would be at ithe cost of useless duplication of effort. 0 O I Year after year, in most countries of ,the world, fewer and fewer infants are idying in the first critical weeks of their lives.

Public health is steadily improv; ing in almost every country. 0 0 O This will be remembered as ”the age of colour" according to a speaker recently at a dinner attended by illuminating en- gineers. That may, indeed, be the feature that will distinguish this era. Every age has its troubles and P9l'lJlexities. It was so when knighthood was in flower, when the new learning was sweeping the world, when Elizabethians circumnaviguted the globe and when Vienna was at the peak of her musical glory. The troubles are almost wrgotten, however, and what remains is the essential spirit of the age. Wiiiiami Frend De Morgan, English nov- elist, was born this date 1839. He dc- slgned stained glass and experimented in lustre and pottery work. His "tile-pictures" were a great success and decorated numer- ous ocean liners.

THAT WEST RIVER PROBLEM air,--One of the most serious of the many problems that. the pres- ent Government of our Province will be called upon to solve in the very near future. is that of proper transportation across the West River. As I. matter of fact the Government is now being called upon in a very urgent manner to solve it. From time to time dur- ing the past. two or three years. anxious-toned letters have appear- ed in the local press, calling out for an efficient all-year-round ser- vice at Rocky Point, and it is now admitted by the residents of it large section of country interested in this service that it should be either mended. or ended. The over- whelming majorlty of these resi- dents, In fact. now insist that this Rocky Point. service should be end- ed and that the sooner the better -provided, however, that before it is ended. a bridge should be built. across West River to a point. that would afford the grentast good to the greatest number of those who will have to pay for it, which of course means every taxpayer in our Province. That this is the opinion of those who are immedi- ately interested in this bridge was beyond doubt. recently indicated by a mass petition to the Govern- ment signed by residents of that large section of country extending along the south shore of our Pro- vince. all the way from Rocky Point. to Victoria, I distance of over twenty miles. Several absolutely convincing u- guments are now being presented to the Government of our Pm- vlnce as to vihy this West River bridge should be immediately con-' structed. The first argument is. that the bridge would afford a splendid connecting link between 1 large section of residents north and south of West River who are now awkwardly separated by the river. It. would especially afford it safe Ind all-year-round passage to Charlottetown for residents who reside all the way from Rocky Point, to Victoria. It. would. in fact. be of very general service to all residents of our Island who travel east. and west, and in this respect would be scarcely less im- portnnt than the bridge across the Hlllaborough River. The final and perhaps most con- elusive argument is that the bridge would ultimately afford a green: saving to the taxpayers of our Province. And if any of your read- ers are inclined to look upon this argument as an ingenious fancy, let; them refimt but. for a moment on the fact. that if the bridge is not immediately constructed, then in order to give I satisfactory Rocky Point. service. an lntolerably expensive ferry-boat will he re- quired-in. boat in brief that would ensure an all-year-round service, save for in month or two when the ice would afford 1 safe passage across West. River. This type of host. would probably cost upward of one hundred thousand dollars, and Judging from the past. ten yeau' experience would cost. from Went! to thirty thousand dollars a year for running and repair peg. cc lt.'Ihould be no clear as dust oven to the nveruo nchoolboy that this uitcmctlve Rocky Point. service would coat. in the next fifty years well over one million dollars. or twice to much no the proposed Welt River brithe should cost; and even at this enormous coat, the fort: would not. ado:-d the safe and Iubotantial. service to one-half. perhaps not. one tenth as large n number of Island residents as at now West River bridge would do. certain it II. this West.

Fortunately. however. there is I. splendid and practical solution. namely, a new Outslde the walls of higibndk great Universities at Oxford and Cambridge during the mm and 17th Centuries. there was blood- shed. conspiracy and civil unrest. The tide: of civil war swirled about Oxford itself. which for I tlnte sheltered King Charles the First from the Puritans of Cram-' well. some windows were broken and vandals escaped with some silver plate, but nothing occurred to stop the material growth and expanding influence of the Uni- verslty. There is no better measure of Oxford's basic strength and self- assurance than the foundation of the Bodleian Library in 1602. Actually, it was a second birth for Oxford's library. whose precious collection had largely been sold or destroyed through greed or, fanaticism during the previous century. The Reformation had no use for the beautiful illuminated manuscripts of the Benedictine: and Franciscans. Thomas Bodley, born inc 1545, grew up to be both a man of let- ters and 1 man of action, as did many other in this remarkable period. The non of a printer. he received a broad education in classics and theology at Geneva. and came to Merton College. Ox- ford ,nt the age of 18, to teach Greek, Natural Philosophy and Hebrew. This was not enough to hold his interest, and he accepted an offer to become Queen Eliza- beth's envoy to the princedoma of Germany and Navarre. He spent some years in the Netherlands sorting out the tangled threads of international intrigue. Finally. hav- ing had enough of politics. he gave up his wanderings and returned to Oxford. c His offer to restore the ancient: library was accepted in 1598. It. took several years to repair the damage caused by n century's neg- lect. While this work was going forward, he .1. upied, himself with collecting books and menu- scripts and in nenrching for :- worthy librarian. He had the good luck to find Thomns James. who was willing to make himself 1:. virtual slave to Bodley's vision. James was engaged at n. salary of E22.13.4d. per year. to start. (twenty years later, he earned 140 A year). He was forbidden to marry. He was not allowed an as- sistant. but was forced to content. himself with A "staff" of one man as caretaker and nightwatchmnn. .lnmcs' correspondence with Bod- ley shows the severity with which the latter enforced his rules: no money was to be spent on hunt or artifictci light; all books were to remain chained to their shelves; a register wn to be kept of the comings and going of tenders; there was to be no landing of books. Ind the pleas of Charles the First md of Cromwell met with the some cold refusal. Bodley turned his diplomatic talent: in n world-wide quest. for more books and mode it fuhionnble to leave money. book: or manuscript. to his prectoun library. and he never liked embarrassing questions about the various mum by which they had been Acquired from other llbrn-ion-public. ecclesiastical or private.

The name of Shakespeare did not appear in the Bodielan cata- logue until 1635, nineteen years after his death. The priceless first folio was sold is an unnecessary duplication u soon as the third folio uppeared. lbr the some res- son, the first edition of Bacon's Novum Orgunum did not long con- tinue to "clutter the shelf" in Bod- ley's library. , Despite a. few such overnlghta. the institution grew in influences as it dld'ln size. In the beginnln , it had been merely tolerated Oxford”: four faculties of theology. medicine, law and the arts-though the later was still regarded as I poor relation. Soon. however. the Bodlelan came to be regarded as the spiritual centre of the Uni- versity. Sir Shaman Bodley - he had been knighted by King James I - died in 1613. Ills contribution to the library which bears his name. and to other libraries throughout the world. did not terminate with his death. for he loft the bulk of his fortune to the institution which had preoccupied the last years of his life. This bequest pro- vided an important example to philanthropists in England and abroad. And has had an incul- culable effect upon the growth of other institutions in teaming.
