The reported price paid was over ten million
t ne,;rs. • What Mr. Webster plans to do with„
his new acquisition is not known; according
to report his instructions to the staff were just
to carry on. The Globe and Mail is a good
newspaper, but for a journal that claims to be
"Canada's national newspaper" its editorial
page has an inappropriate parochial, slant.
Perhaps the new owner intends to make of it
something other than Toronto's Morning Con-
servative journal.

The Ontario Legislature convened last
week for what is believed to be the final' session
of the present term. This belief is strengthen-
ed by the program outlined at the opening of
the session, indicating larger aid to the muni-

on highways., Among,, the 'promised projects
are Government -financed loans to aid muni-
cipalities' in the building of new schools; ex-,
tension.. 'of mothers' 'allowances tip• Indian
widows living on or off reserves;' a survey of

THE LITTLE TOWN
In the 1920's, a novelist .named Sinclair Lewis
visited his wrath and a stinging indictment upon
the Small .Town. In a scathing satire; hedenounced
the materialism of his own home background and
the title of his, novel coined a new meaning for
"Main Street."
Today, thirty-five years later, writer Dorothy
..
Thompson revisits and re-evaluates America's "little
towns" — cities with population under 50,000 •-•-
"home" to nearly 42,000,000 .people.
"For comfort, cleanliness, coziness, few—if any.
—countries can match the American small towns,"
she declares in the February Ladies' Horne Journal.
"The local' civic consciousness of ' the small
towns is higher than that of the big -city populations.
In the- great cities people vote for reform. In the
little towns they undertake, the reforms."
Who is transforming the little towns? "EveryL
body," believesw Miss Thompson. "Once the most
important people in the community ,were the ones
with the most money, even if''they were mean as old
Scrooge. Now a well-to-do man who is not also
public-spirited goes without acclatim." "You can't
be loved 'in America's little towns if you set your-
self above other`s." '
Industries are different, too, from what they
were 25 years ago, she reports. No longer eyesores,
they now stand a'r'nidst lawns and shrubbery and
often look more like . private schools than like
factories.
Small-town folks" are far more sophisticated,
cultivated and knowledgeable today than were Sin -
'eclair Lewis' characters; partly, Y1 believes the writer,
"because everybody has more money; because travel
has been democratized, and because communications
'bring the affairs of the., world into every living
roo`ih."
oo Many Specialists
-My Lewis, Milligan)
r ice 'tread of one of our Univers-
ittes 'recently complained that too
iloqpy students were want-
to-be
ant-
to--be specialists, and in tort
sequence -there .was a shortage of
good. general practitioners of the
std, .famnly doctor type. It would
teem ,that there are as many doc-
tor, specialists today as there are
organs- and parts of tithe human
body.. If a physician is unable to
diagnose a complaint, the patient
is. likely to be handed round to
eachof these specialists in turn
before the cause of the trouble is
located. 'By that time, if the pat-
ient has survived the ordeal and
cost of the process, he has prob-
ably become a nervous wreck.
There are also specialists in
education, not Only in particular'
subjects but in methods of teach-
ing, on which they differ more than
the doctors. They all agree, how-
ever, that there is something
wrong with our present system
of education and that there is
need •for higher and more special-
ized education of teachers. Dr..
L. P. Patterson, president of the
Cana'dia'n Teachers Federation, has
proposed the establishment of a
•
X7/
1 9'
r
I1 ER'i dap
wee
a
it
�I.
College of Teachers, which would
set examinations • and require a
high standard of-qualrfioations.
Fellows of the College would be
regarded as _ ttte top men in the
profession.
Dr. Patterson argued: "'We re-.
quire people with several years of
'1trainin,g to look after the bodies
of our cows and dogs, but for the
Minds' of our children six weeks is
wonderful The picture of
what will happento children con-
fronted by an ill -educated, un
trained person is not pleasant to
contemplate." That may be all
very well for the higher grades- of
education, where they need special-
ists in advanced -subjects, but if all
public school teachers had to qual-
ify for a fellowship in a Royal
College of Education there would
be still fewer teachers available
for our public schools, particular-
ly, in rural 'd stricts which cannot
afford to employ specialists or
highly trained teachers.
If we are to compare the teach-
ing profession to that'•of the doc-
tors, then over -specialization is
just as bad for the one as the
other. The htunan body is a unit,
and a competent doctor should
I have made a special study of every
part of it and treat the part in
relation to the whole. The human
mind, as represented in a class
of pupils; is also a unit of human'
nature and each child will have
his, part to play irr society. 'High-
ly trained teachers and specialists
who have concentrated on one
phase of education are not needed
1 in elementary schools,- where
Ipatience and ..a''general knowledge
of and sympathy withhuman na-
ture are the chief requirements.
The highbrow teacher is inclined
'to regard children from the adult
point of view, and the . specialist
from his owir particular angld'
The . shy or "backward" pupils are
regarded as dullards and are rendr
ered duller and stupid by com-
parison, with the "bright" ones who
-may be merely pre'coeious.

for my su�bsc`r-iption renewal.
Here is another subscriber who
looks eagerly eaclicveek, but us-

My husband and I greatly enjoy-
ed our holiday,. in Gcfderich, Ben -
miller and the beauty spots nearby,
last summer.
We do bike to read of the activ-
ities, past and present of Huron's
county town.
'Our time spent in the Huron
County Museum was one of the
long -to -be -remembered features of
our visit. -
Oh! I must tell you I was glad
to read in the Signal -Star that the
Court House is to have a clock.
The old clock was the first thing
I missed as we drove into Goderich
last July.
With all good wishes for the con-

Sir,—The Signal-Star'has several
times mentioned the need of public
discussion concerning the proposed
zoning laws for Goderich. -
When the question of zoning was
introduced, - the arguments in
favour of this plan were that -it
would be very desirable for the
future industrial growth of the
'town. Certain undevelopedsites
for possible industrial expansion
would be set aside for industry.
Other `undeveloped areas would
presumably be allocated for future
residential growth and certain des
srrab7e regulations would be pro-
posed so that any new industry
would 'be guaranteed sufficient
room for future expansion and new
residential areas would be under.
some- control.
Actually, the proposed zoning
laws as presented at bhe last '.:,public
Meeting in the Town Hall said
nothing in regards to industrial
sites or new residential areas. ••
The entire -meeting was devoted
to tire merits of zoning the • dentral

Sir, --On behalf .of the Huron
County Tuberculosis Association, I
should be much obliged to you if
you would 'publish in your paper -
our thanks to all who have helped
to make our 1954 Christmas' Seal
Campaign a success. -
We appreciate the generosity of
those, who by their contributions,
are assisting in making possible
the control of the dread disease in
our 'egarnty. Free Chest Clinics
are held monthly in five centres,
and the recent •donations are pro-
viding • for a contintiance of this
service and also for an increase in
the attempts to educate our public
in the 'importance of these regular
chest examinations. The present,
campaign will close February 28th
and the Association hope that
those, who have not yet sent in
their contributions will do so be-
fore that date, in order that the
seer vice to our county need not be
curtailed.
We would also thank all• volun-
teers who :helped in preparing the
Seals for distribution, and the post-
masters and their ,assistants for
their help.in delivering then.
Thanking, you for the publicity
which you have freely ,giverf to
this important cause, 1 am
Yours sincerely,
F. J. SNOW,
President Hur"'on County TB
Association.
