The Ministry of Education can't seem to decide which is the best teaching system. First., they closed the small one-room schools and built huge new ones with dozens of classrooms. Now they're tearing out a few par- titions, The result is some noisy classrooms run in an unorthodox, style. With the banishment of the strap, the teachers lost much of their control over the students, and a few parents contend the kids now have the upper hand. "Things were certainly dif- ferent back in our schooldays," we adults contend. Or were they? Think back and be completely honest. Didn't more go on than reading, writing, 'rithmetic and minding the Golden Rule? Of course, most of us were model students, hut we can all recall our schools' mavericks. They were the ones that stood tacks upside-down in the teacher's boots and developed a deadly aim with their erasers. On class hikes through the woods, they always managed to find a patch of leeks and to stuff themselves. They were sub- sequently relegated to the end of the line hy their teacher and fellow students alike. When they returned to the classroom, they sat alone. Perhaps they thought, if they become unpopular enough, the teacher would send them home. Before the schools had running water, a different student was selected each day to fetch the water from the well. The trouble- makers were the ones who took short cuts through the back windows: some of them didn't return until the next morning. When the students weren't allowed to leave the school grounds between nine o'clock in the morning and three in the afternoon, it was considered daring to sneak down to the creek for a swim during the lunch hour. One fellow remembers the day he and two pals were spotted by their teacher's boyfriend. For the next two weeks, they spent their recesses and noon hours inside. The true pranksters were dedicated to contriving new stunts, and each one had to be bolder than the previous ones. For example, two bigger boys took advantage, of a heat register, about 3' by 3', in the centre of the floor. They removed the cover and were threatening to swing one of the girls over the gaping hole when the teacher came running. In a local school, the back door opened at the end of a cupboard. A former student recalls that someone balanced a pail of water on the top of the cupboard and on the edge of the door, which stood ajar. The next person to open the door was the teacher. Three other boys took a goat to school one morning. They went early for the purpose of arriving before the teacher. (I'll bet it was the only time they went early.) They teased the goat until he was in a rage, and when they saw the schoolmarm coming, they turned him loose. Meanwhile a lady remembers one of her teachers — a nun wearing a long black habit. After the May 24 holiday, a couple of girls saved some fire crackers. They sneaked up behind the nun, while she wrote on the black- board. One of them gingerly lifted her skirt: while the other slid a firecracker under and lit it. Isn't it shocking what the kids got away with in school back in those days? There's nothing quite like the aroma of home-baked bread spreading through the house, Unfortunately, for many people, it is almost impossible to find the time to make yeast breads "from scratch." And for a good number of the rest even if there is the time4 they might not have the skills! A good substitute for home- made yeast bread is "quick" bread, which doesn't require the tedious kneading of dough and the hours of waiting time while the bread rises, Quick breads are usually sweeter and have more compact texture than yeast breads, but the flavor is just as good and they certainly take less time to prepare. Whole Wheat Plum Bread 11 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 2 cup regular all-purpose flour, unsifted 1 2 tsp salt 1 tsp soda 12 tsp baking powder 12 tsp ground cinnamon 1 .4 cup butter or margarine 3 4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 1 egg 3 I cup buttermilk 1 can (14 oz) plums, drained and pitted 2 /3cup chopped walnuts Sieve whole wheat, all-purpose flour, salt, soda, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and brown sugar together until creamy, then beat in the egg. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the creamed mixture. With the last addition of flour, add plums and nuts; stir until blended. Spoon into a well-greased 5 x 9- inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool about 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool thoroughly. Wrap well and store overnight. Makes one loaf. • Easy carrots Classic French Cuisine is not always as difficult to prepare as many think or are led to believe, Take, for example, vegetables. The French chefs usually puree or mash very smoothly -most of their vegetables. With a touch of special seasoning, they become a world specialty. A new twist, however, shows how easy it is to cook like a French chef using the faithful standby, carrots, with a hint, .of ginger for seasoning. The change from the usual boiled and buttered carrots is quick and easy.

Quick and tasty You may find yourself in the position of having no dessert and even less time one day, and if that is the case, you should keep this recipe in the back of your mind. With no cooking, baking and little mess, it is a recipe for people who enjoy serving attractive food without a great deal of effort.
