SATURDAY, NOV. 1, 1952 , Action Needed Now it is to the credit of the City that its present Councillors have acted decisively and effectively in meeting less urgent and less important problems than that which now faces them in the provision of adequate educational facilities. There never was any question as to the desirability of adding new or enlarging pre- sent accommodation. The need was recog- nized years ago and far-sighted citizens put their views publicly and privately before the authorities alld to the public through the press. Unfortunately the matter rested there as the proposals were said to be unaccept- able and the Council, anxious to avoid any increase in taxation, did not make any at- tempt to bring forward, or even investigate alternative proposals. One of the requirements wllich is said to have reacted unfavourably upon past action, was the large amount of land need- ed adjacent to the school and which was said to be available only outside city lim- its. With the completion of Memorial Field at Victoria Park, the question of a large area of land should not have as much weight as formerly and more emphasis might be placed upon the central location. Temporary or stop-gap measures are not enough. The present authorities must be prepared to make amends for the neglect of the past generation and provide the facilities which will be required twenty-five years hence. The most important matter is that the problem be officially recognized, investigat- ed, and a solution put forward. We un- derstand that a survey has been made in this connection, which will shortly be plac- ,. V, g .....-5..'..... - been long, the real beauty and meaning would have been lost in a bog of words. When. during a campaign, candidates have to make speeches daily, or sometimes more than one a day, long speeches are bound most brilliant orator cannot think up 90 minutes worth of good ideas, well phrased, every day for weeks on end." . This criticism is well taken, and it ap- plies to political speeches generally. A great deal of time in our Legislatures is wasted in repetitious threshing of old straw, which, it easier than campaigning on the speech- maker, is equally boring to his auditors. What is not generally realized is the fact that short speeches require more, not less, preparation and ability on the part of the speaker. The most concentrated forln of speech is to be found in poetry, which is the highest form of verbal expression and often contains, in a few lines or verses. sufficient matter for a whole discourse. "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates and men decay," wrote Goldsmith in 1769; and politicians have been making less effective speeches on the same subject ever since. Many examples could be quoted from preachers and others, who have mastered the art of concise speech and exploited its possibilities. The late Premier Leafs maxim about the squeaking wheel getting the grease is a case in point. It shows that not even originality is required if the; phrase is well turned, for the same thought was ex- pressed by Benjamin Franklin when he said, "The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise."

It was Franklin also who warned that ”he that speaks much is much mistaken," and who debunked verbosity in one brief sentence: "Here comes the orator, with his flood of words and his drop of reason." one of the most. interesting kinds of work I have ever done.
