out'
Well. If you ' remember, last
week I waS explaining how we
could improve the high :,school
system.. We had thrown out the
Lord's ;Prayer. 'and The Queen,•
not because. we are atheistic or
anti royalist,. ; but because both
are -meaningless in:that--context.
Then Ave had . the warm-up pc-/
riod: a• half-hour of popular mu•
sic; jokes, "news, `weather report.
This wakes up the .children. and;•
starts the day, not ;with a whiny
per. bud with a bang..
Following this would" come a .
solid hour 'of hard ., work. We'd switch on the . television. For 45
minutes,• we'd enjoy thelesson
in 'propaganda, from -Laurier -La--
Square,
La- Square, or in charm : from Wat
Patsan; Orin •mopery and
gawk
from' some :cabinet minister, 'or
in double -think from 'Lesser
Person,. or in rhetoric ..from
John Diefendummer_.._-or •'-in
whatever the . Department, of
,Edueatiiin in its ineffable in-
sight had .chosen for the day.;
After. the lesson • teacher' and
students Would discuss its con -
.tent and - or try' to' retain their
breakfasts. .
Ws about 10.30 a.m. now.
Time for the Anti -Aggression •
session.• The class presidents
would distribute equipment.. Ev-
ery'
v-
ery ..student would , be given a
block of :wood and a • mallet or
two pieces of tin. For 15 min -
cites, each would, pound on .his
wood or tin until he . "Was
cleansed of aggressive tenden-
cies. Only the teacher would. be
!lowed to ,pound students, and
only• with a wet 'towel, to get rid
of his aggressive urges,
This would be followed, logi-
c' by 15 :minutes of soft .nisi-
,it' piped into the classrooms,
ntil cverybody Was completely
elated..Maybe even asleep.. 1rs
i a.m. b
Then 'it's everybody, 'tlie 1400
ids and the 00 -odd teachers,
etit and around the block. 13risk-
y if winter,.saunterink in better
rather. English teachers would
urble about' the ,beauty of nay
ure. Science teachers would
(lint out Nora and Fauna (tire
wn busty .. waitresses who
rapped out of Grade. 11 last
ear.) Math teachers would ex -
lain that the shortest distance
etween two points ' (a -warm
Iassroom and a warm . class
oom) is a square' )lock.
Time. to eat, Everyone is ire.
axed, refreshed; ravenous, At
resent, -the kids . at In shifts,
stand in long .lines, sit at long
tables like convicts, gulptheir
jdll;y • dough nuts;''jam=and-peanut--
butter sandwiches, • and soup,
-('often in that order), and hurtle"
back'. to classes.
• Under. my. system, the're'd; be:
'an hour and a ,half _for lunch.
There'd be' no more than eight
at a table There'd be waiters
and •waitresses, giventhis chore
>as. a •punishment, instead of a .
detention. Lunch would be• free:
a hot dish, all' you could eat.
But how ' .•to overcome the
overcrowding. Simple. Lunch-
hour (and a half) ` would be
combined wilt Learning -Leisure.
Period. . Sociologists warn us.
gloomily that one of the great-
est problemsfacing mankind is
the use of leisure hours, when
the work" -week has been reduced
by automation to ' about 20
hours.'., ' '
This .period would: enable stu- •
dents to develop a hobby:
There'd be l0 :snooker tables.
There'd -'be: curling and' figure -
skating
igure skating. in winter. There'd be
gardening In' 'good weather.
There'd be. stamp clubs and
'writing clubs and flower -arrang-
ing, clubs and Indian. clubs;
Ing the gym, .' or outdoors in.
• fine .weather; you'd find your
most learned savants, strolling
like Socrates, ready to question
and answer those who' really
wanted to learn'' something.
In designatyi classrooms,
.there'd be instruction in poker
,and bridge and chess and darts
and sex.' There'd be no over-
crowding • .in the cafeteria. 1
guarantee.,
. I haven't quite figured opt the .
afternoon program yet, 'Person,
a4ly; I'd send them, all 'home. sit
one o'clock.' But'' their parents
deserve. something more than
that horror, • after' .paying all
those taxes. We'd probably •
• spend the afternoon ' at sports,
drama,. "Music, painting, sculp•
tura; pure math and science. '
Those who weren't interested•
in' these things would have dor-
mitories • provided, where they
'Could stretch out for an hour or
two' in - order to be fresh when
their favorite 'TV programs
' came on at hoine.
This .:is just a rough outline,
• but 1 think it's high time some-
one came up with a blueprrint
that ,reflects our age, rather
than 'the Victorian.
Blessed with good'health.and
active minds, Mr. and Mrs. Ed-
ward 'Spielmaher, , ' who reside
on the fifthconcession of Kinloss
Township, happily marked ;their..
golden wedding.' on Sunday , May.
22.' They .;were married on May..

Following their honeymoon the

*the bride's parents - where they .•
•lived for 25 years. They then,
moved to a .farm on the •B Line, of
Growth .of field crops continues
'at a slow rate because of the cold

beet fields have been broken up
and reseeded,

ham. Also
ing-ham.:.Also enjoying the day with
Mrs. Spielmaker were her only
two living sisters, Mrs. Lucy
Wengler of Preston and Mrs. Mich-
ael Fischer of 'Culross Township.
Mr. Spielmaker recalled that
the spring of 1916 had been' very
wet andcold, worse than this
season,. he .said.. rHowever, on
their wedding day it dawned rather
• foggy but during the service the
'sun came out and it .was lovely
weather for•the next two .weeks.
He laughed , and -said his 'neigh-
.
bours kidded him about bringing .'
good weather on his wedding day,
and .often when it rained would
suggest it was time for him to
get married again..
