SATURDAY, Arms. 24. 1948 Slr llndrew Disappointed Our lsland Liberal M. l’.'s were less success- ful in getting the opinion of Duncan Commission members on record in the freight rates debate than were the Conservatives. Mr. Brooks (Royal, N.B.) for example, succeeded in showing, on the ouhority of, the chairman himself of the Duncan Commission, that the Commission recommenda- tions had been stultified. "l have never felt that those recommenda- tions have been fully implemented," Mr. Brooks eoid. “As a matter of fact, when I happened to be in London, England, a few years ago, l had the honour ta meet Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, and he asked me what part of Canada l was from. When I told him l was from the Maritimes he said: ‘You in the Maritime Provinces are the most long-suffering people there are in Canada, possibly in the world. I made certain recom- mendations in my report but those recommenda- tions have never been fulfilled?’ Mr. Brooke’ words appear in Honsard of April l4, and as he was not called to order by Mr. Speaker it is to be presumed that the latter regarded them as being pertinent to the debate. Anzac lliiy Thirty-three years ago the Australian and New Zealond Army Corps, whose initials form- ed the name Anzac, launched theirgollant ot- tempt upon Gallipoli. Tomorrow the anniversary of this memorable engagement is being observed iii both countries as Anzac Day, and also in Can- ado, where appropriate ceremonies will be held‘ in Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver, and pos- sibly in Toronto and Calgary. _At the Federal capital Hon. James Thorn, High Commissioner for New Zealond, and Mr. S. Jamieson, official secretary of the office of the Australian High Commissioner, will lay wreaths on the war mem- orial in Confederation; Square, and will attend a commemoration service at All Saints Church. The Australian High Commissioner, Rt. Hon. Francis M. Forde, in a press statement issued on this occasion says that the influence of the Galli- poli campaign upon the national life of Aus- tralia and New Zealond has been for, too deep to fade. Though the expeditionary forces of the two Dominions were then in their infancy, and though they afterwards fought with success in greater and more costly battles, no campaign was so closely identified with them as this. Just twenty-five years after the first Anzac Day, the Australians and New Zealanders were back in the Aegean Sea, this time fighting for Greece, on the slopes of Olympus, at the Pass of Thermopylae and on the Island of Crete, in a bitterly contested retreat which is one of their proudest national memories. Four years ago, at the height of the Second World War, Australia and“ New Zealond signed a treaty—the first of its kind between two Brit- ish cauntrie's -- which has come to bear the name of the Anzac Pact. This Pact is an expression of the desire and determination of Australians and New Zealanders to undertake, in partnership with Great Britain, even greater responsibilities in ~ the area of the Pacific and to ensure the preserva- knees ‘ed. Even» our centres of higher learning have tion of the nationship built by the original An- zacs. ~ ~ This Province joins with the rest of Canada ‘in paying tribute to the gallant Anzocs of both World Wars. Oiir citizens do not forget the fine young men from both our sister Dominions ‘who trained here, during the latter conflict, under the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. llot Bread Alone It is well to be reminded, as Dr. Raymond Fosdick reminds us in his annual report as presi- dent of the Rockefeller Foundation, that neither the Marshal Plan nor any other scheme for mo- terial well-being is going to save Europe or pre- serve world peace in these critical times. Quot- ~ing the English historian Taynbee, he emphosi that the past is littered with the wreckage cf nations and empires which tried to meet the crises of their times by physical means alone. It is, of course, obvious that a solid material foun- dation is an essential basis for world recon- struction; but it is a basis, not a superstructure. Our tendency is to confuse one with the other. A European delegate to Lake Success is quoted as saying that unless this continent can take the lead in providing a vital faith, all our exports will "'merely postpone the dpy of reckoning, and the world will die anyway." Another aspect of the difficulty, Dr. Fos- dicli says, our superstitious reveyence for the physical sciences. They have become sacro- Vsanct-tho dispensers of the gifts of life. The doctrine that "civilization can be bred to great- ond splendour toscience" is widely accept- increased, to this twentieth centurkworship of y Jflntvhlch give mastery of t ‘physical , ;0_Feottrse,'; a decent obeisence is always Hill-lo the W‘ llll- fullest proteetloetfer the-present, physical matter. They can give us more horse- power, and they can help morehmen to better health and longer life; hut they have little re- lationship to the problem of discovering a new set of human purposes, or to the art of human relations, or to the winning of social and moral wisdom, upon which peace and successliiL gov- ernment depend." ‘ Dr. Fosdick speaks for a great institution. ln i947 representatives of the Rockefeller Foun- dation visited practically every country in the world with the exception of Bulgaria and the Soviet Union. Visas ta enter those two countries could not be obtained, nor was it possible to establish contact with their scholars and scien- tists. The Foundation's appropriations of over twenty-three million dollars were distributed last year in seven major categories, including $l.- 500,000 for the "humanities" and $0,000,000 to the China Medical Board for its program in the Far East. 6| per cent of the appropriations were for work in countries other than the United States. “ln all the countries which representatives of the Foundation have visited aver these recent years," says Dr. Fosdick, "one outstanding fact has emerged: the people are dominated by a passionate hope for peace, security and a bet- ter life. They seek a world in which man may grow in strength and dignity. They wont no world in which war periodically tears _to pieces the bright promise of the future. That is the pat- tern of thinking and planning everywhere. Men differ as to the means by which these ends are to be secured, but as to the goal itself there is little diversity of opinion." - EDITORIAL NOTES .- All is~quiet again on the Ottawa front.

B. Chandler. At. the outset I would like to make it. clear that‘ I hold no delusions regarding my quali- fications to enter a discussion on educational matters. During the past few months many interesting and informative letters have appeared in YOU!‘ 60l- umns on the subject. While 1 may rial; have been in complete agree- menl; with some of the suggestions put forth, I felt they all-were of value as the expression of varied opinions. However some annoyaure has been voiced against these ivrii- ers by sections of your public who seem to feel the name educatloiilst. educator, eta. ls being bandied about tn a manner not. only core- less but. unqualified; so may I re- peat, I om entering the discussion. not. from any great. educational experience, but molrily because I happen to represent (at. the mo- ment). the Women's Institute of the Province. ‘ For thirty-five years the sub- jeot of education has been one of the chief concerns of our organize. lion, and it. ls because of this deep interest. that lt. seems to me qulte fitting to add a few comments from the rural paint of vlew. In Mr. Chandler's‘ address a very clear comparison was presened be- tween our way of life fifty years ago and at the present. time. Many of the innovations we now take for granted 'ln our dolly llves were either unheard -ot or great. rarities and their coming into common use lias altered v-mplctely our eco- nomy and our social llle. Most. thinking lndlvlduols will agree that the some degree of progress has rial. been carried frito our ed- ucational departments end. to quote Mr. Chandler. "we have not. kept, pace in equipping or furnish- ing our schools or in providing our teachers with the training and salary needed for today. "One hundred years ago there was a well defined system of trades or vocational fi-alnlng. Much of it. by apprenticeship in trades such as shipbuilding. cooperage. ironwork- lng. tanning, milling and so forth. Both boys end glrls learned pree- tlcal art. and crafts either tn the home or nearby industries. The village school provided the equi- mlenfor better of hat. we cell elementary school. odes one to elx, The agitation then~ was for ecedemla training to provide for toeobere. clergyman, lawyers and doctors.

"'I‘lme does not permit furthu development of this theme. ‘but. I would soy dogmstlcelly that there are many trades and vocations we eauld._tra1n our young people for, making them more effective sud happier citizens than yrs do by our recent habit of outing thezn off after eight. or ton years of deeulwry schooling, untrained and ill adopted for employment." I would like to say at. this point. that this excellenL-eddress "from which I have quoted above should have been published in its entirety. for lt. contains much valuable ln- formetlon and many wise sugges- tions. It wlllbe impossible for me to comment. on more than e very lew and that. very briefly. The our census of oplnlon seems to agree that we must. return the rural school to its original pool- ilon, that of an elementary school with e A ble number, of grades and pupils. It ls proposed to establish a number of reglonel high eohoole in which ecedemto end vocational training may be so blended es to give eech ohlld en opportunity to develop according t? his or her abilities and Inclin- a loiis. The winter .whlch is Just. peel; will serve to point out the absolute necessity of retaining the small school in each dlstrlct/Prenspor- tallon of young pupils to any great distance will always be un- wise in such a climate as ours. But. older pupils of grades seven to ten oould be taken by bus to ii larger central school such en the proposed Regional High Schools from, say, September first to De- cember first and again from May first. to June 30th. During the monhts (when the roads are pack- ed wllh snow) which they spend u- thelr awn local school they could continue with their subjects of English, mathematics, the socie- studles, etc. The months spent at. the High School oould given over to courses inn ’ culture, manual training, home economics, etc. In the winter months whet. these pupils were not. occupying the High School class rooms, the rooms could be taken over by the Department of Agriculture for short courses for the older boys and girls who have elreedy left. school. In fact adult. study and many educational and recreotlona. programs could be carried out. Until parents and rate-payers fully realize the immeasurable benefit lo their children of e. well- rounded education along lines cult.- ed t/o each child, we cannot hope to advance very fer. We seem agreed that. the all-important. lec- tor is the quality of the teacher, and yet we meet. year after year at our annual school meetings and if even o. twenty-five dollar 1n- crease ls voted for the teacher's salary it. ls too often done only after a heated lscusslon. Fciv~ waulctlel: ten or fifteen dollars in- had to do with a business trans- action yci. too many of us cannot. see that putting that amount to- ward paying is properly qualified person to oversee such a vastly im- portant concern as the education of our children ls of for greater ‘mportance to usand to them. The great. wonder ls not that. teachers are hard to locate, but. that we Ilnd any at. all; and Ii. speaks hlghly of their integrity that. they bring to their profession such enthusiasm and devotion to their work. Immovemerrl have taken place as regards school pro- perties and tegichers’ salaries, but. both are still woefully inadequate to present day conditions. In closing I cannot do better than quote once more from Mr. Chandler as follows: "We need mature. well e’ ‘ " teachers with an infectious enthusiasm for learning; teachers who realize the value of stimulating intellectual curiosity or reasoning powers. teachers trained to assess o child's abilities and aptlfudes, ‘able vs guide with sympathy and certainty the boy or girl toward the trade or profession for which he or she is best suited. To obtain and hold such teachers, however. it. ls ne- cessary to provide training for them. provide housing for them, provide enough salary to enable permanent calling, and tio settle ln the community. When we have done this we will have gone e long way toward increasing the effec- tlveness of our educational pro- gramme." < I am, Blr. etc. W. l‘; ALAN) MARION sriiwnnr, President REJ.
