MARCH 7. 1955 Teacher Supply Problem "Teacher Recruitment and Retention" is the theme for Education Week, now be- ing observed throughout Canada. Them is scarcely a Province in which the gravity of the teacher supply problem has not been felt, and in which efforts are not being made to find a solution. There is growing feeling, however, that the matter must be dealt with on a nation-wide basis before any substantial improvement can be hoped for.- i The Canadian Teachers' Federation has been advocating for some years a policy of Federal aid to education. It has been argued that this would interfere with prov- incial autonomy, but it is difficult to see the force of this contention in view of the manner in which Ottawa has already as- sisted in military, agricultural and techni- cal training. Federal aid would seem to be the only way in which the needs of a Province such as Prince Edward Island can be adequately met. In this connection it is worth recall- ing the findings of the Advisory Rccon- struction Committee which reported to the; Provincial Government a few years ago. The committee noted that the Sirois Coni- mission had rccommcnded a national ad- justmem grant which would enable this Province to at least approach the standard set in educational services by the wcalthicr Provinces. To underline its argument for the need of Federal assistance. the Advis- ory Committee pointed out that while our per capita provincial expenditure on educa- tion (3li6.9() at that time) was much below that of any other Province. the percentage of educational expenditure provided by the Provincial Govemmcnt (62.1) was far above that of any other Province-in fact double that of all save Nova Scotia. I It has been said that our teachers are better paid now thanthcy were some years ago: and it would indeed be remarkable if this were not the case. The question is whether the inducements are sufficient for the recruitment and retention of the best. qualified persons. in View of the opportun- ities in other professions and lincs of busi- ness. It is a question which almost answers itself in the negative. Meantime, much good can be accomp- lished by the efforts put forth this week to awaken a greater interest in the needs of education. and the increasingly important role which it is called upon to play in our democracy. Public opinion is the thing which eventually shapes all government policy. an those concerned about our ed- ucational problems should keep this con- stantly in mind. Sanity Vs. Lunacy It is a vexing commentary on Qmh century "progress" that a group of Cana- dian scientists found it necessary to mect. with representative physicians from each Province in order to bring them up to date on the fearful forces that might be expect- ed to descend upon us in the event of an- other world war: hydrogen bombs. quite capable of killing one million persons in a few seconds: atomic radiation. even more destructive than the bomb itself. since its effects w1'll romnin long after the explos- lnn will have spent its power: nerve gas. that kills in a matter of minutes: clouds of deadly germs capable of exterminating human beings. animals. and food supplies with cruel facility and dispatch: even a cobalt bomb which only now is finding a theoretical place among the destroyers and which. so the experts say. will be no re-specter of aggressor or defender - as likely to turn on one as the other. The expert who brought up this mat- ter of the C bomb appears to believe that, while it is theoretically possible, no ag- gressor would put it to use. for that would be "lunacy". As for that. if sanity gov- erned the dunking of tyrants, there would bononeedofanysuchconferenccastbe on: that took place at Canada's Civil De- fence College. But. alas! it is not so. Tynmiy and the wt! to enslave and de- Itnv are not rational qualities, whatever outwith!-Ibomhsand turn-dioynay take; and, an aggressor to watch and ponder the issues of our times. Perhaps the more )ften and the more widely they are discussed in frank- ness, yet without hysteria, the clearer will be the perspective with which the free men of this generation can view their heavy burdens and. still more importantly. their responsibilities. Certainly. if one large segment of the world's population-is, in- deed. bent on following the way of lunacy, all the more reason why the voice of wis- dom should be raised with increasing vigour and clarity in the council! Of free men. Hospital Services Dr. Maclvlillan and other makers in the Legislature have called attention to the .need for increased assistance to the hos- lpitals in carrying on their vitally import- ant services. It is a fact to be remembered that these institutions can never be on a lself-paying basis, although every effort is tmade to keep budgetary expenses down. lThcy are not business establishments, but t essentially charitable foundations. If it were inot for the time and efforts expended grat- uitously by public spirited citizens in every community where hospital services are . provided. they would have to be taken over lentiroly by the. government, and run as lstate institutions. i We do not want that in this Province; lbut we are all interested in seeing that the -most modern equipment and facilities for the care of the sick are provided, and this means expenditure on a continuously in- creasing scale. The Legislature would do well to give serious attention to this mat- ter at the present session. keeping in mind no only the sewice our hospitals provide. but the nccd for maintaining them on the ',highest level of efficiency. For Unstable Drivers In the Ontario Legislature a proposal has been made by Mr. E. L. Weaver. Pro- igrcssive Conservative member for Toronto, to have police constables bring into court all car drivers known to be "unstable, im- patient. or bad-tempered." The magistrate who consiricrcd them safety hazards would have. undcr this plan. authority to cancel their liccnscs. "The weakness of this suggestion," says the Windsor Star, ”is that it has an arbitrary, hit-and-miss quality about it. The pcrson who would 'stand up for his rights might too conveniently be fitted into the bad-tempered category, for in- stance. Yet there is mounting evidence that too many persons who are unstable for various reasons are driving cars. Psychiatrical tests made in Michigan sev- eral years back revealed a high percent- age of drivers who lacked the mental fit- tncss for that responsibility. Some day this problem will have to be faced, and faced scientifically. Meanwhile, timely prodding by conscientious public repre- sentatives can keep officials awake to lt."

IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE Sir,- The improved passenger train service between this Pro- vince and Montreal. scheduled to go into effect on April 24th. will doubtless prove a great boon to the people using it. These people will. of course, be those travell- ing first class and occupying re- served space on the ”0cean Lim- ited". an all sleeping car train. But what about the others - those who travel on modest bud- gets and prefer to save the dif- ference hetween coach and first- class fares, plus the cost of sleep- ing car reservations. by tra- velling in day coaches? Going west they will be able to wait in Moncton and board the day coaches on the ”Scotian", which apparently. is to follow shortly af- ter the "Ocean Limited". as it has in the past. The trip west will be slower and less conven- ient than that enjoyed by the first.-class passengers. but will still be fairly good. However. the real matter for concern is the trip eastward from Montreal. If the "Ocean Limit- ed" in to connect with the island train at Moncton, all people com- ing to this Province will have to travel on it. since the "Scotian" won't get them to Moncton in time. That will mean that all will have to buy first-class tic- kets and pay for reserved sleep- ing accomodation. whether they wish so or not. This extra cost would amount to nine dollars, more or less. per person on the trip east. This seems to be just one of those changes to which we have become accustomed and. perhaps, hardened. in which people in mo- derale circumstances don't seem to have been considered. If I haven't the facts straight about this matter. lid like to see the impression which has gone abroad about it corrected. If the above is an accurate de- scription of the new service. then something should be done about providing less costly accomoda- tion for those coming here from Montreal and from points be- tween that city and Moncton. The whole difficulty arises out of the fact that the "Ocean l.im- ited" in exclusivel, a first-class train. and the best solution to the problem might be for it to be- come a mixed passenger train. If it has to remain an all sleep- ing car train", tourist class sleep- ing can on it would represent a compromise on the matter. Pas- sengers could use these can on their coach-clan tickets. but would still have to pay extra for berths. "Name" trains running west from Montreal carry such cars. This end of Canada has been discriminated against be- cause such accomodatlon has not been available. ' ly the guidance and direction of NOTES BY We do not know how well paid for how poorly paid) Ontario civil servants are. but our obser- vation is that persons who apply for a civil service position, either in provincial or in federal em- ploy. are very happy to receive it and are rather envied by those who have to be content with employment by a private firm. There are not many resig- nations from the civil service, with its sure pay. rather easy hours and a pension at the end. -Goderich Signal-Star. -:2: inexorably I have reached the stage of middle age that used to cause .me concern. I find now that the worry of my youth was THE WAY unfounded. A trim lass. tripping down the street. is not a challenge but merely the friend of one of my daughters. I find I din not too much concerned with what people think because I've learn- ed that they spend most of their time thinking about themselves. I find my bulging waistline. is only of interest to my doctor and my tailor. and it is ac- cepted practice tc' loosen my tie and my collar and to tuck my napkin under my chin. My fu- ture is the present and my wor- ries are behind me. I find that Church, conserves the past. pre- serves the present, and makes possible a progressive future, and no one of them can be ignored without serious detriment to the child's best interests. The home in the basic unit in which are laid the foundations for and the direction of the child's entire growth and develop- ment. The school is an extension of the home. Its purpose is chief- mental growth and development through education and training. The church is the agent and rep- resentative of God. Its purpose is to supply the child with all the means necessaiy to attain the fullfilment of his supernatural and eternal needs. The most important of the social agencies. because it is the first in point of time. which in- fluence the growth and develop- ment of the child is the home. "Home" is the term familiarly used to cannot: the intimate communal life and personal cou- tacls of those bound together within the family by ties of birth and affection By virtue of these ties the family is the funda- mental social unit and hence is the source of all social relations ordained in such by God and nature. The importance and in- fluence of the home are profound and extensive. Through participa- tion in the life of the family with- in the home. the child receives his first and most lasting impres- sions of human duties and of life's lesponslbllities. As a mem- ber of the family he learns his first lessons, meeta his first prob- lems, and has his first contacts with social life. The parents are the child's first and most influ- ential teachers. The child reflects in his life and conduct the par- ental guidance and direction. the home environment and the par- ental example he has bad. As. an influence on the child's growth and development the school ranks next to the home. The school. like the home. has the child under its guardianship I am living in comfort.

Times. gentle; for after all. in the na- tural creation there is nothing more lovely than the boy in his teens. in that dangerous. critical. yet fresh and beautiful stage of growth and development when he reaches the parting of the ways, the twilight period between child- hood and youth. The child who is trained under the proper school and home guid- ance. in accordance with Christ- ian yl'll1ClPi88. has an ideal edu- cational environment. We 'must remember that education is an active process; it in the doing of something; it is the cultivating and fertilizing of minds; so. for character making. the emphasis must be placed not only on les- sons and information. but on guidance as well. The great bus- iness of life is to live in con- formity to God's ways of doing things .The best preparation fa" later development is present right living. and right conduct. is the acid test of both right living and good citizenship. Let us be thank- ful and proud of our opportunity. These are difficult. days for all of us. They are probably more dif- ficult for teachers than they are for any other group. The peoples of the world have so many things to learn if they are to live in harmony. one with another. There in so little time available in which to learn the arts of peace that the serious teacher has to exert every effort to save time and to stave off the forces that threaten our way of life. So many things to learn. So little time. So' much to do. What a tremendous responsibility is ours. I am. Sir. elc.. PROSPER A. ARSENAULT Teacher Medically Speaking BRAINS AREN'T T0 BLAME IF YOU'RE GETTING BALD No matter what your husband says. Madam. that shin! bald pate of his isn't a sign of intelli- gence. Just look at Albert Eln- stehi. He”: got brains and hair. Actually. your mate's bald spot might. just be a still that he has taken poor can of his hair. Then. too. it might be a carry-over from another member of his family, usually his mother's father. For both tho? care of the hair. and heredity, apparently play an im- portant part in determining who- ther or not a person will become bald. Emotional Damage The loss of hair e t" al damage physical injury. A great many bald men. as you well know. are extremely touchy about the subject. Others accept the condition goodnaturedly, and openly joke about their shiny heads. Yet I doubt whether a single one of them wouldn't gladly trade his most prized possession for a full head of hair. Scientifically. we call this dis- aster alopecia. There are many types of alopecia. and. in some of them. the chances of covering the bald spot with freshly grown hair are pretty good For senilet baldness, however. there isn't much men can do. Se- nlle baldness. probably the most common type. comes either pre- maturely, or with age. Despite its name. senile bald- ness usually begins fairly early in life. If you are going to be bald, you probably will notice your hair beginning to thin by the time you're 30. If you're not pretty bald by he time you're So, you're like- ly to keep that map of hair for quite a while. While we doctors can give you no definite raause. or cure. for this type of baldness. we do know many factors which contribute to the loss of the hair. And. we know the sequence of events leading up to baldness. f Between your skull and skin you have a thick layer of fat. The skin is loosely attached to this layer and moves freely. As you grow older. the layer becomes thinner. At the same time. the causes more than actual tened to the skull and the skin becomes more taut. The scalp becomes more dense in structure and more fibrous. and as it tight- ens. the hair follicles. or roots. shrink gradually until they final- ly disappear and are replaced by fibrous tissue. As these changes occur. the hair becomes thinner on the top of your head. Eventually. there may be nothing left but a glistening. tightly-drawn head of skin. Tomorrow. I'll tell you steps you can take which might help slow down this balding process. QUESTION AND ANSWER Miss N. D.: I have had a sore on my gum for the past four months. which is getting larger.

Man is a being strangely compound- ed of what. he called the animal and the spiritual. or tho physical and the psychic: and the distortion or the men sup- pression of althar will disturb and may destroy the harmony of personality. The boat human de- velopment requlries the balance of all man's powers. psychic and physical. and this 3 ' de- mands their discipline. Genuine religion is thus no un- earthly thing far removed from the needs and functions of physi- cal life, but rather provide: that by which life can be lived well. both setting its goal and supply- ing the dynamic by which the goal may be attained. It is because man is a spiritual being" that the merely instinctive grail cation of the prompting: of plwslcal life is not rightly or wise- ly possible for him as it is for animals; what matters is the use heomakes of them in rela- tion to his whole nature. He needs to direct them to ends which pro- mote his higher development. But the difficulty is, how is this to be done? Various individuals and social impulses may help, but none of them is so potent as reli- gion, the reverence of God, furnishing the moive "for prac- tising what we know already." The disharmony caused by the almost continuous striving of spirit against flesh is a condition of growth into unified human life which in not to begachleved by a victory for either side; the sup- pression of the one can be as disastrous as the quenching of the other. and either result leaves life maimed. Psychology em- phasizes the need for a higher unity, but this prescription must be completed by I "' . Much depends on the nature of God as man perceives it; and there is ever the danger of making God in man's own image. a convenient idolatry. which involves that nothing compelling or powerful is found in him. Among the latest words of the New Testament to be written are: "We know that the Son of God is come. and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true . . This in the true God and et- ernal life. My litle children. guard yourselves from idols.” And while "the acknowledgment of God in Christ" may not solve "all pro- blems in the earth and out of it." it does advance man in wisdom. Yet something more than the intellectu ' apprehension of God in Christ is necessary if his grace is to be the power which can match human need. This power becomes both available and ef- fective only through devout" and regular practice. The religious sense or capacitv for .
