-.An evening at the O.A,C, • is an
experience one which we would
like to repeat as often as possible.
Pervading the atmosphere is an airy
of democratic tolerance and under -
'standing which is hard to describe,
One of the contributing factors is, o f
Za
course, a rS
e. the t e fact that the student
body is international in its compos-
ition. The attractive : couple :who
.occupied places immediately 'across-
the table were an American: strident

BOARD'S POSITION •
. EASED
-At the risk of becoming,ruonot
onons, We world like to ••deal again
with matters, which concern the
• Wingham Public School Board. Last
week The Advance -Times 'reported a
board meeting at which considerable
diSSatisfactjon with the ,architect's,
Y1ari
P s was expressed. Since that time
the architect and his engineers:'have
conferred with the board and several
of, the points -which were causing'the
_'1C1C1,.'s't cbxlcern. were � ere thrashed. atit,.
Board members are not as -worried
as they were a week ago.
rirst of all, it is good to know
•at there is some likelihood thatfilie
costs •O
of the addition toh
t , e SCIlO,Ol
mill
not run asfar '
over re the limit as
aright have been expected last week..
Neither the board'.. members nor -the
taxpayers are anxious to see increas-
ing expenses.
Secondly, it:shotild be made plain '.
that the board was not wrong til ex.
• pressing'its deep concern When there`,.
appeared :..to be indications that
weaknesses -existed in. the o1'iginaf.

"plans for. the addition: • Citizei s --of
the community Wi l' ttmders`tand : "
Corrie what may, that- the ,board; is
-doing its level best :to•; secure full
value' for -;the tat dollars -w heli are
going into. the new wing.
In all fairness to the architects
•
:the public sh'ojild .'understand the
significance to their answers to the. •
board's charges, The firm which
drew the plans: for the addition to
the school contends that it is still
'too early to decide that the heating
system is inadequate. A pump re-
mains ' to be fitted to the present
heating plant, 'which,. according 'to
the architects, should' provide proper
distribution throughottt the school.
Other difficulties, they : contend, are
of a minor nature, and should not
affect the eventual value of the
building,
Colne what may, the bear'd's
questions about the new structure
will not only reassure the public, ltiit
will serve to guarantee close atten-
tion to details by thf i'nspectars on
the :building project.
It is to o be sincerely
'
hoped that
the architects are perfeetlr

11 �
in their stand that all is well at the
school: But let us not forgetthat

IN EDUCATION
leges which Boake up the centre, of

that it is the human mind .and spirit

Most universityatherin s have

about them an air of unexpressed
snobbery that we,
personally, find
hard to swallow - but none ,of that
spirit is evident at the .O.A.C. Per-
haps because we are countrymen at

that it is. the "farmers' background

HUMAN LIFE IS
THE
, REWARD
One of the most cor n end b
elle.-
projects,we have heard about in: a
long time is the proposed water safe-
ty course which is under discussion:
in . Hownck Township at the, present
time: The Gorrie branch ba the: ked
fi
Cross Sijciety has led the -way, arid\it
appears likely that the youngsters of
H.'owlek And its villages will benefit
;froali the opportunity.
A survey 'of the hundreds of .
drownings each Sitmnler -indicates
that Most.. of the • tragedies occur
When a non-swil?nnnerg into. diffi-
culties.
C diffof
culties, Oncea periaon has learned
. not only to switn, but to feel confi-
• dent. of his ability tolook after hin'i-
self in the water,: thereis little dan-
ger that he will ever lose his life by "
drol;ning, In fact most drowni
ngs
are the result of unconquerable -panic
onthe part of accident •victfins:who,
have never:, learned to understand
that water is not Y necessariithe
enemy of humans.
,One of the most admirable fea-
tiires of the program .in Hawick. is :
the'fact that sse s
i
le
leaders share..
realized that a fancy'swimming pool
isnot a requiretnent•for the teaching
�f water safety. • They -propose to
utilize the waters ofthe:;Maitlana
