Canada's Finest �'
A Matter Of. Evidence
(Joseph Lister Rutledge)
This -is an age of halting between
two opinion's; the opinion that
government ,can do for us more
than we could hope to do for our-
selves, and the alternate that, given
the freedom to use initiative .and
daring and skill, we will do better
than under coddling.
Not unnaturally governments are
quick to seer the political effective-
ness of welfare projects. It was
not hard for them to be convinced
that 'men will work as eagerly •for
a dull security as they will for the
THE VOICE QF TEMPER-
ANCE
Anything the school can do to
contribute to social easement will
help to offset adolescent drinking,"
This is one of the many profound
truths found in "A Teacher's Man-
ual for Alcohol Education", auth-
orized for use in Grades 10 and 11
of our' Ontario High , Schools.
Give the pupils opportunity to
Feel imporant. Satisfy their gre,
garious instincts by promoting
social affairs' . . .Above all, teach
thenal' social and recreational skills
like dancing and co-educational
games,, so that they will- not need
an alcoholic crutch to become
socially acceptable. A good omen
for the future of Canada is the
way in which ALL school children
are being taught recreational skills.
and the art of playing together.
Another hopeful sign is the large
number of recreational centres
springing pp all over the coun-
try catering to alt ages and- both
sexes, with leaders trained . in
physical education, recreation and
fhe social' sciences ---to teach peo-
ple to be. socialable without re-
sort to alcoholic beverages. ,The
final statement in this excellent
manual is a phophecy. "When
this movement reaches full pro-

as the 'old-fashioned saloon, and
liquor will have no place in social

urge to create, the pride of achieve-
mnt or the hope of reward.
One of those who believes differ-
ently — John C. Sparks of the.
Foundation of Economic Education
—has provided a telling challenge:
We are assumed to have been liv-
ing in 1900 and each to have been
faced with. the need to find solu-
tions to certain problems not later
than the year 1954. These :night
be the problems.
1. To build a'f maintain •roads
equal to ' every demand " of road
transportation.
2. To develop a medsfcnl specific
against the threat of death by
pneumonia; or to increase the aver-
age span of life by 30 years. _
3. To make it possible that a
voice speaking in our home could
be plainly heard half the world
away. Or to sit in our own living
room and see and hear 'a pageant
in London,. a Pontiff speaking in
Rome, or, a baseball game in the
Yankee Stadium.
4. To transport an individual so
he can sleep one night in Montreal
and the next in London, England.,
�5. To build a horseless carriage
with the qualities and capabilities
to fit the 'specifications set down in
the catalogue of any' automobile
manufacturer.
In the year 1900 we would have
said that the problem of adequate
roads was well under control for
our governments *ere looking
after the matter. But the remain-
ing proposals were frankly fan-
tastic. •
Yet 54 years later governments
are still faced by road problems,
and highways are Still quite un-
equal to our needs. And. what of
those* fantastic ideas, fantastic be-
yond believing? These challenged
the vision.' and the ingenuity and
the skill of free individuals, and
the •accomplishments are so much
a part 'of our lives today that we
scarcely- stop to. think ,of them.
Enterprise is still looking ahad
to new problem's and greater --ac-
complishments. That is how the
human mind reacts, when it is
free and excited and has an in-
centive.
