Letters to the Editor ...i5 Broad Avenue, Altoona, Pa. , t'. S. A. Advance -Times, Winchatr., Ontario Dear Sir: - I, lik. many .utters, has t::pressed by your recent edi- torial, relative to the advance- ment of the current educational -urriculum, which necessitates the suivnerging of the indivi- dual pupil from the old red sci,00i house to the realm of the rr,odern central school, nev- er the less, though time mar- ches on, I regret the passing of our old alma maters, which like the original pioneers pro- duce the substance which made Canada, the true north strong and free. The red school era washeal- thy; life began at dawn. We were taught the five Rs -reading 'ritiug, 'rithmetic, religion and responsibility, the basic principle of decent citizen- ship. We were content to do farm chores, sweep the store, help in the house, perform other essential duties pertain- ing to our respective spheres. Upon graduation from the red country school, we were grant- ed a life diploma founded upon honesty, thrift, commonsense and good behavior. My twin sister and I walked, often, at an early age, through the blizzards, two miles and a half to Orange Hill and Gough schools in Howick, another on the 4th of Turnberry and Blue - vale. I, also like my brother, was a pupil at Gorrie, We ac - D. A. WILLIAMS, 0,D. Optometrist 9 PATRICK STREET W. WINGHAM Phone 357-1282 HOLI Lv. Lv. Lv. Lv. Lv. Lv. Lv. Lv.

Having been fortunate to receive academic training from Toronto, Chica- &o, Minneapolis, Edinburgh and London, England, despite this, my salute goes to the red schools which gave Canada character. Today, the pendulum swings otherwise, a tendency to make youngsters soft, until another war proves their metaL Home work and discipline are being eliminated, and substi- tuted by inroads of radio and television. The rate of crime is on the increase, more sex in- dulgence, fast cars, and how to obtain an unearned buck, any thing but healthy diver- sions. They are no longer en- couraged in the red school fun- damentals, regardless of the guise of higher education, to think intelligently, to assist their parents, do the family chores, or character building, which was the glory of the common place old red school. But in these transition periods the educators may be wise to salvage and retain these ingre- dients of individualism, from the one room school, which so far, has been the bulwark against the inroads of commu- nism and Atheism, and not mass formation, These red school attributes made Canada a God fearing nation, and sew- ed the seeds of democracy, which the founders of the pass- ing red school cherished. Yours sincerely, (Dr.) W. T. Galbraith Mrs. Russel Purdon Hostess to U.C.W. WH'TTEOHURCH—The UCW meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Russel Purdon last Wed- nesday.
