After Agricultural Minister Whel-

the fertilizer companies that suf-

shock to learn that huge,,uailer-

stern measures against these prOfit-

It seems that, expressing oneself
as to'the importance of effective
teaching of world history is a con-
tinuing process. This
article is the direct result of an
article I read recently in the
Timmins Daily Press under the
heading "Concepts in Social
Science Taught. by History Course'.
It was written by a Mr. Dan Arid
reatta. Mr. Andreatta identifies
himself with the Ontario EdUca -
tional authoritieS by 'writing in
part of the article, "We have now
substituted a 'program."
As I have pointed out before,
about one hundred and fifty years
ago the Western World began a
concentrated and highly success'.
ful assault on the problems of trap;
portation and communications.
This success has `brought the
:peoples of the world into much
clOset proximity than they have
ever been before. 'Considering
that the past Western World has
played such a prominent role in
bringing the peoples of the world
closer together , it is' only common
sense for the present Western
World to do what it can to make
the non-western peoples of the
world feel at home in this new
proximity. This obligation coup-,
led with the fact that fine new
books were available on the sub-
jeet of world history meant that
by the 1960's our Ontario edUca-
tional authorities were in a good
position to make a fine and much
needed contribution to. the cause
of world peace. All they had to
do was to emphasize to the teach-
ing profession that it is.very'im-
portant for senior students to ac-
quire a good general knowledge of
world history. Instead of doing
this our Ontario educational auth-
orities did the unbelievable by
putting our teachers in a position
where they had to inform our stud-
ents / that they were not required to
-take the subject of world history.
In fact, as Mr. Andreatta explains
in this article, "If our students
decide to study world history they
are also involved in the study of
anthropology, economics, polit-
ics, sociology and psychology."
Mr. Andreatta also goes on to ex-
plain that "In teaching history
teachers should keep in mind such
concepts as conflict , industrializa ,
tion, decision-making, comprom-
ise, nationalism and revolution --
exactly what facts are learned, is
largely irrelevant." /
How I wish that• my fine teach-
er in Modern History, the late
Miss F. E. MacLean, had had the
opportunity °to express her opinion
of all this nonsense.
