A PLAY ENTITLED I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING Will be put on under the auspices of Northside United Church Choir by the Holmesville Young People in Sunday School Rooms of the Church on Friday eve, May 16 at 8.15p.m. Admission 35c. Children 20c CHATS ON EDUCATION At the Principal's Desk. In the republic to the south, with. its vast territories and its greater po- pulation, many problems which we. face to -day have already beet met and studied, while many of the pro- blems which we must face in another decade or two are being studied there to -day. This is especia'lly true of education. Not that we are prepared to grant our republican neighbors leadership in all matters of education, bur own eduoational methods and institutions are highly regarded by educators to the sou'th, But there are important pro'blems with which our educational leaders are grappling which have al- ready received much attention across the border. One of our most serious problems there as here is that of linking up ed- ucation more closely with life. Am- ericans, like Canadians, believe in ed- ucation. Perhapsthey believe more fully in education than we do, if we are to judge by the fact that twice as many young men and women in the U.S. per thousand of _ population, at- tend university as in Canada. It is just possible that that higher ratio is due to a tendency to be more lenient in marking examination pa- pers. But it is also possible that some of the difference is due to the fact that more attention has been giv- en v - en to the problem of making educa- tion something of definite practical value in life. In many of the States the impor- tance of the study of occupations as a definite feature of the High School programs has been recognized. A valuable text -book for High School use, recently prepared by Harold Lyman Holbrook, Specialist in Guidance, State Department of Public Instruction, Pennsylvania, and A. Laura .McGregor, Department of Education, Rochester, New York, has just come to hand from the press of Allyn & Bacon, Boston. This compact little volume of some 350 pages, entitled "Our World of Work is one which I should hesi- tate to place in the hands of our High School pupils this late in the season. If a pupil were to pick this book up without being warned that it was in- tended to be a text book for one les- son a week in a High School, other studies would be apt to be neglected because of the intense interest of the subject matter, and the attractive and readable way in which it is presented. This little volume actually gives an interesting introduction to sono five thousand occupations, yet it is not confusing because of the very natural classification, grouping diem in five main divisions, Agriculture, Business, Industry, • Home -Malting, and the Professions, and sub -classify- ing in three grades according to three training levels. Before long undoubtedly our High Schools will provide systematic study of occupations in the lower grades at least of the High Schools, in order that the pupils may have some basis for choosing their place in life and itvay the more clearly understand the value of each of the school studies in its relations to the occupations in which they may some day be earn- ing their living. In the mean time 3 can commend .this little volume as one which should find a place in school and public libraries, end as an excellent purchase for parents who have children who must soon beg'n to decide what their own place in life is to be.
