(WITH BILL smiLEY)
Well, the school board pasn't
had me on the 'carpet yet for
that last column, which urge4
the abolition of Religious In-
struction, from the curgculum.
Maybe it's just because they
haven't had a meeting in the
meantime. Before they do, 1
might as well unload all the
other beefs I have about the
educational system.

.its -major flaw is that it costs
money. Municipal councils wail

men on the school board. Edu-
cators observe •with equal mon-
otony that we spend more on
smokes, er liquor, -than we do
on schooling.
* * *
Most of us who have children
don't kick too much. After all,
if you have garbage, you expect
the cost of its pickup to be
added to your taxes. But when
a farmer retires and moves to
town, it hurts when he finds
that half his tax.,.bill_is made
up of education costs. He for-
gets, of course, that his grand -

Another sore point with me is
the course of training given to
teachers. They are not brutal-
ized enough. 'They are taught
neither judo nor unarmed com-
bat. They are given no'idea of
how to deal with. teenage tears.
What, pray, are they supposed
to do when a six-footer, weigh-
ing about 180, says: "So 1 ain't

Governor Visits.

Lean, of Orangeville, paid his

meeting following the dinner,
Governor MdI,ean said the Gode-
rieh clulb was just about • the
finest in District A-0.'
He inducted five of the eight
ne'w members who have joined
the Libras Club. Those' inducted
were William Alcock, Neil
Grant, Kenneth Dunn, Cyril -
Murray and Bruce Ryan. Still
to go through the ceremony are
Keith Ryeroft, William Freel
and Harry Westlbrolok, the latter
being a patient in a London
hospital at this tinie. The new
Lions were presented by the
meenlbershilp committee chaff
man, Alex 'Alexander.
Among the guests pre ent
were two members of the
Orangeville Lions CluJb and also

there, after school. He
smiles broadly, `carols "Hello,

says: "That's one of the nicest

11 When there's this business
or .-the teaser,' of being "on
stage" all the -time. Every class-
room should have a little alcove
to which a °teacher could retreat,
at9 least' once a ' period, and
m;alke sure- his fly is -buttondd
or her slip isn't showing. •
It's . 35 to one, and I have a
lot more sympathy,now for some
of those drill sergeants I hated
so intensely in the air -force.
The other day, for example, the
kids were . killing themselves
laughing at me, and I didn't
even know what was going on.
I'd asked them to build 'a
portrait of Brutus, from the
play "Julius Caesar," lay giving
nre imaginary details of his ap-
pearance.,, I asked a boy first,
and after shuffling and snuffling
forfour ,,,m,inutes, _ he blurted:
"Well, he's medium height and
medium weight." A dazzling
thrust "of the imagination, as
you can see. ,I asked a girl to
Wil' to the -Picture:- She- s
gested he had dark brown hair.
Immediately, there was a ola.ss
snicker, and several kids hol-
lered: "No! He has grayish hair,
rorta curly." So I wrote that
down, scowling at them about
Ole snicker.' Next kid said
Brutus had a sort of red face.
It didn't sound. much like a
Roman senator to me, but I
put it on the blackboard, in the
midst of another wave of giggl-
ing. Another volunteered that
Brutus had a big nose, and the
entire class dissolved into hil-
aria. I got pretty sore, and told
theni they'd probably fail in
their examination, ' and,. `such
like. It wasn't until they'd. left,
still that I 'looked at
the portrait they'd drawn in
words, and realized that they
were describing, with the ut-
most glee, their gray-haired,
red-faced, big -nosed teacher.
* * *
Another thing wronng,with the
educational system is that there
are too many common people
getting, into the teaching pro-
fession. When I was a kid,
teachers knew their place.
When the last lout was released
f,om the last detention, .about
a quarter to six, the teacher
hurried nervously home, eyes
fixed carefully on the around.
You- know what some of theme
have the nerve to do nowadays?
They hunt, fish, play golf, have
a smash, drive a nice car. They
Act just as though they were
like other people, and 1 think
it's time,, pint If stop
to it. °
