LOCAL NEWS ITEMS 11 Two things especielly were very noticeable, One was the fact that, et last, our Ontario Dept, of Educa- tion has come to realize, that education is not a mere matter of cramming book knowledge into youthful head so that they may pass an, examination, To be able to hang out a sign, Bill Jones, M.D.; or John Brawn, Barrister, is not the only end of education. IIavo we not seen men who do hang out these signs who would halve been better farmers or machinists. Edu- cation, to my way et thinking, is a process we go through all our lives, It should fit us to enjoy our livers in our way and to live in peace and haran.eny with other peapie, The other thing I noticed was the total lack of any indication that these young people realize that Canada is perhaps the best country to live in, that we know of today. I do not mean this in the geographi- cal sense but the political and, social sense. Do they realize the value of living under democratic institu- tions, the traditions of which, go back for centuries? Are they taught the value of freedom of speech, freedom of worship, free- dom of the choice oe occupation. All these things are sa familiar to us that we forget that our Anglo- ,Saxoe ancestors had to fight for themt, and sometimes fight to the death for them. 'Who knows but that in the near future we may have to fight grimly to keep these same advantages. I believe that these advantages of the democratic form of Government should be drilled. Into the students of our schools. Perhaps• this method smacks of the totalitarian way of doing things. But, unless the dentocrasies wake up they are going to find themselves sideeetrack- ed in the swift rush of events• in this modern world. The British High 'Commissioner to Canada said in a recent speech "Democracy must come dawn from her smug, self-satisfied perch, and let her virtues be known." ,Our newspapers are full of propa- ganda of all sorts. Propaganda is being noised abroad by commenta- tons on the radio programs. It is .spreadi by teachers o8 foreign languages in aur un4vereities, and by pitbiic officials of same of our large cities. Our freedom of speech amounts sometimes almost to licenlse, Last fall a professor in one of our universities went about Western Onbaria giving lectures. Itis cententtion was that Great Bri- tain was solely to blame for the present state of Europe, How long would a dictatorship allow this man to go his way unmolested? Just eo long as dt would take a Squad' of (black ar brown -stinted police to chuck him into a concen- tration camp or would his fate be worse, 'lien, I say, let our youth fully realize these things. So, that when they graduate from school they will nut easily tall under the spell of someone who preaahee Communism, Fascisin, or any of these queer creeds. CARD OF THANKS ter, and Mrs. Pawson' and family Wish to thank their friends and neighbors of Brussels for the kind- ness and sympathy shove them during their recent sad bereave- ment. ;Special thanks' to Rev. Mr. S. Kerr also for the beautiful floral tributes and those who so kindly Loaned their cars. It wilt never (be forgotten, This is not meant es a. criticism of err teachers who are all capable and I .think, conscientious. The tine exhibit of Work shows• this plainly. The Dept, of Education has started nets courses. It should go funilter. Every day the events in Europe indicate that they Should do at least a little to point out these thing's to our students. Some- one has said, "Rententber that the mighty Deis from the tiny acorn grows," II thank pan Mr, Editor if you you .puTiieh thie letter.
