Examinations This is an anxious time for countless students in the Seaforth district as well as throughout Ontario. They are in the Midst of the month for examinations. So great is the concern in some quar- ters that there are many—other than the students—who would favor abolishing them altogether.They fear examinations create such emotions in the minds of youth that these may result in injurious and lasting effects. The difficulty with such a theory, .of course, is that it suggests that youth must during his lifetime be protected from all manner of tests. For after .all a school ex- amination—while certainly a test—is mild when compared to the test the student will face in Life. The Montreal Gazette points out that critics of examinations don't like the com- petitive spirit that enters into the exam- ination system, with some- being ranked ahead of others. The joy of learning shotiid be recognized as a sufficient effort, and just doing one's best should be recog- nized as a sufficient achievement. The ,competitive spirit is bad, and the rank- ing system is literally degrading. "Such theories for getting rid of exam- inations are tempting. But it is hard to get rid of examinations. They would re- main part of life,, even if they were abol- ished altogether in the schools and uni- versties," the Gazette says. "All through life people are examined; they are tested; they are faced with crises; they will find themselves ranked. Criticism of 'ranking' will not be spared the person who fumbles with the keys of the piano, or messes his golf, or fails to meet a deadline, or who cannot be de- pended on to pull himself together to meet an emergency." Examinations are part of life itself ; no one can avoid them. If education is to be a preparation for life, it fails consid- Are Worthwhile erably if it attempts to dispense with the examination system. Fearful as it may be, and troublesome, and exacting, it is a form of training for what is to come. This is not to say that the examination papers should be the only means of .esti- mating a student's ability. There may be intelligence tests, and reports on his gen- eral attitude towards work, and other methods of assessment. But these other methods, however useful as supplements, ought not to undermine the examination system itself. The very fact that a student, in only a few hours, must prove himself is not to be held against the examination system, as it sometimes is. This requirement to rise to the occasion is not an incidental disadvantage to the examination system; it is an essential part of its value. Again and again in life a person has to prove his capacity to bring his knowledge and judgment to bear upon the decisionsthat must be made within a very limited space of lime., should a student, or his educators, or his parents, consider that a young per- son ought not to be prepared in school and college for the sort of testing he will un- doubtedly have to face in later life?" the Gazette asks. By shuddering at the idea of discipline, an educational system maay end by graduating the undisciplined. The Gazette concludes that one of the most important adjustments anyone can make is to learn to meet with resolution the inevitable challenges of his own ex- istence, and to realize that he will be j udged.

Cliff Britton, B.A. Fearlessness is the mother of confidence. Mother's Day in this country is announced with a blaze of trum- pets, a roll of drums, and a wild jangling of cash registers. Com- mercially, it is creeping up on Christmas. Emotionally, it has long since passed the Twelfth of July. .Father's Day, in comparison, is a sad little echo of this senti- mental orgy. Even the advertising reflects the difference. Merchants and manu- facturers overcome their custom- ary delicacy as Mother's Day ap- proaches. They don't suggest that she might like a little token. They bellow at us, in no uncertain terms our duty towards Mom. "Get out, you lazy, ungrateful, selfish bum," they holler, "and buy that sweet little old mother of yours some- thing worthwhile." Strong men cringeunder the assault, and go in- to debt for months, buying pres- ents for women who are not even their mothers, but their wives. * * :k The days when Mom received a box of chocolates or a pair of nylons on Mother's Day went out with the ten -cent hot dog. Nowa; days, men are warned, in black - and -white or full color, that sweet old Mom will settle for anything from an automatic dishwasher to the Taj Mahal, suitably gift -wrap- ped. * What .a difference in •the adver- tising prior to Father's Day! It is slightly embarrassed, doleful, feeble. It consists of such rousing slogans as, "Don't forget Dad on Father's Day." The implication is that you probably will, but that if you do, don't worry too much about it. Oh, the men's clothing merchants put a brave face on it and beat the drum a bit, but even they haven't the nerve to suggest anything more extravagant for dad than a sport shirt or a new hat. The car dealer who will tout, with a straight face, a "second car for the family," just before Moth- er's Day, suggests that dad would be just crazy about a new tire iron, or a jack. The appliance dealer who will coolly try to sell you a washer -dryer combination as a gift for mom, will be pushing a $1.98 flashlight for Father's Day. * * * Is there anything significant in this contrast? • Oh, yes, indeed. There is little doubt that it re- flects accurately the prestige en- joyed, respectively, by mother and father, in Canada today. Mom is a goddess, to be placated by appro- priate gifts. Dad is a dog, a harm- less one, to be thrown a bone. This unnatural state of affairs seems to be peculiar to North America. In Europe, Asia and Africa, woman is still playing a supporting role only. Even in Mos- lem countries, where a man• may have up to four' wives, there is no doubt about who is head of the house. But in the States and Canada, the natural order of things is reversed. * * * Oh, you don't have to believe me. Ask the statistics boys. They'll tell you who controls and spends most of the money on this continent. Ask the manufacturers. They'll tell you which sex their adi are slanted towards. They'll tell you why everything that's made nowa- days, from cookies to cars, has to come in a fancy package or a weird color. * * * Why has this situation develop• ed in North America? Can we blame our women for it? Are they more pushy than the females of other continents? I don't think so. In fact, I think they are the ones who were pushed—into a role they never wanted, poor kids: I think the whole thing is a pro- duct of pioneer days in this con- tinent. The North American wo- man had to be a good deal more sturdy, independent and capable than her sister of other lands, if she was to cope with the trials and dangers besetting the early set- tlers. She had to work like an ox. She had to improvise, to use her head. She had to be nurse, teach- er and companion to her children, because father was too busy clear- ing the back forty to speak to them during the day, and too tired to do anything but fall into bed at night. * * * After a few generations of this, it was natural for the children to look upon the mother as the foun- tainhead of wisdom, sympathy and human warmth. During the same generations, the father faded into a figure who appeared only at meal- times and whose chief conversa- tional item became, "We can't af- ford it." * * * The entire process was speeded up by two world wars. While our men were off in Europe, fighting and revelling in a society in which the male was supreme, our women had to take on more and more responsibility. Whole generations of children got the idea that Mom was head of the family, simply because Dad was not there. There was no stopping the snow- ball. After the first world war, our women started smoking. After the second, they began going into bars. They have infiltrated the golf course, the curling rink, the House of Commons, and the stock market. They have learned to swear, wear trousers and make speeches. And the end is nowhere in sight. * * :, .. I'm not complaining. It was in- evitable—an accident of history. All I'm doing is trying to explain to you fellows why despite the fact that your wife got a new wrist- watch on Mother's Day, you are going to wind up, on Father's Day, with the usual $1.50 tie, for the purchase of which the kids will tap you for $2.00 and keep the change. EC emo ye) u (Prepared by the Research Staff of Encyclopedia •Canadiana) What Was the Frank Slide? The Frank Slide was probably the most devastating landslide ev- er' experienced in Canada. On April 29, 1903, about 90,000,000 tons of rock from an overhanging portion of Turtle Mountain fell on the small Alberta mining and rail- way community of Frank in the Crow's Nest Pass. It killed sixty- six residents of the community. The slide, which was blamed on a combination of geological faults, a minor earthquake and coal -mining operations at the base of the moun- tain, lasted less than two minutes but buried approximately a square mile of the valley to a depth of 45 feet. • N Where is "The Land That God Gave Cain"? This is the term that explorer Jacques Cartier applied to Labra- dor on one of his visits to the coast, a coast that must have ap- peared very forbidding to him. He visited the Labrador coast in 1534, 1535 and 1541. However, Labrador was probably the first part of North America to be seen by a European—Bjarne Herjulvson, who came within sight •of it while on a journey from Europe to Greenland in A.D. 986. Subsequently, around A.D. 1000, Norse residents of Greenland appear to have been regular visitors to the coast (known to them as Markland or wooded land) in search of timber. Rediscovery of the .Labrador coast was due to John Cabot of Bristol, leader of an expedition under the patronage of Henry VH in 1498. Th. *Ache "This isn't fair, Mr. Boyd, I'm supposed .to. be on my coffee break!" , REV. ROBERT H. HARPER About three thousand years ago, it was said that Jehu "driveth fur- iously." And the great Book de- clares that "a horse is a vain thing for safety." And there are many other references to the horse as the -ally of speed. But faster and faster has been the watchword and the horse has been left so far be- hind that he is no longer thought of in connection with speed, ex- cept at the track. Not so long ago, we marveled at travel over the land at a mile a minute. What startled the world a generation ago has become a commonplace of travel not only on the land but through the air. Not so long ago, Lindbergh gained fame by flying the Atlantic; now mighty airships travel back and forth between our country and Eur- ope and in fact through the skies of the wide world. Now the first airplanes seem almost like toys as compared to the great jet planes of the present. And, having brok- en the sound barrier, men are con- cerned to break the atmosphere barrier, and get back. Speed for speed's sake is a poor thing. The trouble is that so many lives are being lost through the sorry process. Just a Thought: In a manner of speaking, health is like money; we sometimes nev- er worry too much about it 'until we find that we don't have enough to take care of our daily needs. We can buy insurance against loss of health but the surest protection comes through a' program of pro- per living. When Were Teacher Exchanges Begun? The system of organized teacher exchanges between countries of the Commonwealth, and particu- larly between Canada and Britain, goes back as far as 1901 when the League of the Empire (now the League of the Commonwealth) was established in England to bring about "co-operation in education between the countries of the Em- pire." The idea for teacher ex- changes arose from the feeling of teachers that tours to other Com- monwealth countries did not pro- vide sufficient professional know- ledge of the educational philoso- phies and practices prevailing in the places visited. Extra stimulus to the exchange idea was added in 1910 with the founding of the Ov- erseas Education League in Can- ada. In 1913 this movement ar- ranged exchanges between three teachers from Manitoba and three from New Zealand; 13 teachers from 'various Canadian provinces exchanged with a similar number in London, England, schools dur- ing the same year. Between 1919 and 1939, 4,06$ teachers exchang- ed positions between Common- wealth countries. • Red Cross Home Nursing Class- es were conducted last year by 990 Registered Nurses serving_ as vol- unteer instructors. A McDUFF OTTAWA REPORT DIVORCE DILEMMA During the session last year, the divorce mill operated by Parlia- ment for the benefit of the citizens of Quebec and Newfoundland was constantly in the news as a result of monkey wrenches thrown in the works by two CCF members and the evidence of fraud and perjury that kept floating to the surface. So far this session there has been an uneasy quiet surrounding the whole issue. Behind the scenes persistent efforts are being made to clear the way for a start on remedying the present absurd pro- cedure. If they fail, the subject of divorce will be back on the front pages with a bang. Up to the eleventh hour last year the two CCF members—Frank Howard of . Skeena, and Arnold Peters of Temiskiming—managed to bring the divorce mill virtually to a standstill by a very simple device. They talked, and talked, and talked about every divorce bill that came before the House of Commons in the limited time allowed for their consideration, defying a time-honored tradition. For years the practice has been for divorce petitions from Quebec and Newfoundland—the only prov- inces without divorce courts of their own—to be submitted first to the Senate. Before a special com- mittee of.the Upper Chamber they were given their only scrutiny,if that is what it could be caled. Witnesses paraded through, told their time-honored story of the man and the maiden, the Commit- tee approved the bill, the Senate approved the bill and sent it on to the House of Commons. There they were rubber-stamped in batch- es, the House not even bothering to repeat the charade. That was before the two CCF members decided the time had come to do something about put- ting -an end to the farce, at least so far as the House of Commons was concerned. They contended that the House could not and should not have to bear the re- sponsibility of considering divorce bills. Before the Commons com- mittee handling divorces and on the floor of the lower chamber they pulled the evidence apart in case after case in an effort to show that it was based on nothing more than a pack of lies solemnly sworn to as the gospel truth. As a result of their filibuster, divorce bills piled up on the Com- mons order paper. The two CCF members threatened to continue the blockade indefinitely unless they receive an assurance from the Government that some step would be taken to l;emedy the whole procedure. Reluctantly t h e Government promised that the issue would be reviewed by the Commons rules committee at the current session in an effort to find a way out, and the terrible twins relented. Early this year it looked as if a partial solution had. been found when the . House of Commons un- animously approved a Conserva-• tive member's bill to give the Sen- ate sole jurisdiction over divorce legislation. The bill died on the Senate or- der paper for want of a sponsor. Allegedly the Upper Chamber was opposed to the Bill because it was a violation of the constitutional principle that legislation must be approved by both houses of Par- liament. In fact, it refused to touch it because of the extreme reluctance of Roman Catholic sen- ators to even acknowledge the fact that Parliament grants divorces, much less discuss any change in the existing procedure. In the meantime, nearly ' 350 divorce bills have piled up on the order paper of the House of Com- mons. Because of the very threat of a renewed CCF blockade, the Chairman of the Commons divorce committee, Robert McCleave, has pot even bothered to call them for second reading so they can be re- ferred to" the Committee for the usual rubber stamping. Quietly and informally, Mr. Mc - Cleave and the Chairman of the Divorce Committee of the Upper Chamber, Senator Arthur Roebuck, are engaged in a new effort to end the impasse. To overcome the objections to the:. previous Commons bill, they are proposing the introduction of legislation to constitute the Senate divorce committee as a judicial body. It would function as a court, in the same manner as the judicial committee of the British Privy Council, once Canada's court of last resort. Its decision would be rendered by judicial decree rather than by statute, ruling out the need for approval by both houses. The new proposal would do noth- ing to solve the far broader prob- lem facing the country, the anti- quated laws regulating the grounds for founded on those laid down in Britain in the mid -19th century. Although t h e United Kingdom overhauled its divorce legislation years ago, this kind of change is still probably five to 10 years away in Canada. But it would represent a step in the right direction, It would elim- inate some of the hypocrisy and absurdity of the present situation so far as granting divorces to citi- zens of Quebec and Newfoundland are concerned. If the Senate Committee was constituted as a court it might al- so possess wider powers to deal with cases of fraud and perjury, the practice of which has made it easy for anyone who can afford the price to get a divorce from Parlia- ment. Should the submission of rigged evidence to prove adultery no long- er be condoned, there would then develop over time an irresistible pressure on Parliament to provide for wider and more sensible grounds for divorce. * * * Capital Hill Capsule There are now strong indications that regardless of the census which started June 1, there will be 265 members in the next parliament. Redistribution is likely to be re- ferred to a special committee at the next session and the general election will take place without it being completed. Which Was the Most Populous Iroquois Tribe? The Onondaga are believed to have been the most populous tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy. They• were the central tribe or "fire - keepers" of the confederacy, their home being to the north of Onon- daga Lake in central New York State. In the . American Revolu- tion, many of them took the side of the colonists and remained in the States. Others moved to Upper Canada as allies of the Crown and their descendants are living on the Grand River Reserve near Brantford, Ont.
