Almost allt'axpayers, iii thispart of
Ontario at least, --will -have to meet
sharply increased; costs of education
this year. Boards of education in most
counties have been forced to budget for
higher operating costs and find that
grants from the province will_no longer
be adequate to spare school supporters
the pain of a deeper tax bite.
We have, a great deal of sympathy
for the elected board members. They
are .caught Squarely between: the hard
,facts`01 •rising costs and, the taxpayers
they represent. In some cases the
board members' efforts to curtail costs
have been met with angry accusations
that the educational system is reneging
on promises made when county '"school
boards were established some years
ago. The boards have been forced to
discontinue certain 'special" courses
where numbers of pupils enrolled did
not appear to warrant the costs in-
volved.
As Inflation increases parents will
have to face the hard fact that the
"frills" in education may 'disappear.
As long as thepublicc can afford it,
those courses which add .toihequality
of life and the -cultural upgrading of so-
ciety are commendable. However, as
the sources of revenue begin to suffer
unusual strains it is obvIeus that our
schools will be forced.to move increas-
ingly toward the basic disciplines. .
During the past 10 or 15 years edu-
caters have gone through the period in
which it wa s believed that every stu-
dent should have: a chance to do his

"own thing". The youngster was not to
be denied the blossoming of his or her
own talents in order to Conform to an
older generation's concept of. educa-
tion. There is no denying that such an
open approach to education has much
to\celnmend It. However, under the
frO choice system the gifted students
achieved broader planes of under-
standing, but the lazy and the unimag-
inative were Teff to .flounder in their
own ineffectiveness.
Unpopular though the idea may be,
the primary function of elementary
and secondary education is to provide
young people with the necessary skills
to compete with their fellows in the
adult world. There is not much point in
turning out a whole generation of free
thinkers who cannot provide for their
own personal needs and for those of
their families.
The obvious compromise is to pro-
vide an education which equips the stu-
dent with the necessary fundamental
skills for survival, at the same time
that innovative thought Is encouraged
and enhanced. Life,.affer all, seldom
-permits us to occupy ourselves only
with the particular activities which are
most pleasing. Drudgery is the inevit-
able portion of each one of us, to great-
er or lesser degree.
Education casts will continue to
-soar —.as will most other goods and
services • we pay for. Don't be sur-
prised, however, if our schools . are
forced to tighten down on their spend-

Theunpredict�ble month
The month of May Is like a fickle
lover — sometimes chilly and at other
times warm and comforting. This year
is no exception. A week or 10 days ago it
was cold enough to freeze a witch's
heart. Now we have the windows open
and finally the leaves are bursting out
on the trees.
Our reactions to spring weather
are symbolic of the degree to which we
are influenced by temperature and
sunlight. If you' really want to run the
whole gamut of springtime sensations
you should try a trip to Europe during
the month of May, which is what we did
a couple of years ago. We made the de-
cision about the time for the trip after
recalling those famous lines: "Oh, to
be in England now that April's there".
"Seemed that May would be ideal, al-
lowing a month's grace in case of
spring setback.
The trouble was, we didn't go to
England. We touched down in Holland
and there we should have stayed.
Fields of tulips, acres of daffodils,
miles of roadside flowerbeds. It was
beautiful beyond description. But then
we moved on. Germany was a bit
cooler; Austria was alright if you were
in the sun. Switzerland was something
else again.
Climbing over a 6,000 foot pass in
the Alps, the air got colder and colder
stilt. An overnight stop at M. Moritz
found us drear 1Ing about that lovely
warm padded racket at home In the
clothes closet. 1Pes,'this was May al-
right, but the but had to Make a three
hundred Mile detour because the St.
Gothard pass was still blocked by wint-
er snow.
What a relief to turn South for a run
through northern Italy where it was
warm and sunny! France wasn't too
bad and back in Holland it was, we dis-
covered, spring all over again.
When you watch an entire busload
of travellers responding with either
gloom or gaiety to changes in climate it
is not difficult to understand mankind's
varying moods.

people, many of whom are
never seen as they reside in
the prison of their oWn bodies
-- bodies which do not
respond to their wishes and
These people are confined
to their homes, hospitals,
nursing homes and often
senior citizens' homes. Many
are forced to spend days,
-weeks and years staring at
four walls. Any one of us

same predicament and until

kindness and concern can
June 7 is a day for visiting
a shut-in. If feasible, a short
drive would do much to
brighten the outlook of a
shut-in. Failing that, a
letter or even a card would
show them they are not
forgotten. An hour or even a
few minutes of your time can
loom large in the life of a
lonely person, These friends
do notWant our pity, but they
do appreciate our friendship
and kind thoughts.
