Oh, for the life of a
Show me a teacher in June,
and I'll show you a character
with a crumpled shirt, •a wrin-
kled brow, and a desperate
look in his eyes.
His spirit is treading the
lush green of the golf course.
His inward eye is contemplat-
ing the dark swirl of water
under a log in a trout stream.
And his winter -fat, pudgy body
is there in the classroom,
which is more like a steam
bath. Room temperature, 90
degrees.
Before him loll about 30
students, eyes glazed, minds
turned to something impor-
tant, like a swim, or a joyride,
or just lying in the sun.
Chief difference between
them is that the kids are ar-
rayed in their coolest, while
he, adhering to some ancient
and ridiculous tradition, quiet-
ly steams in his swaddling of
shirt and tie, jacket and trou-
sers.
The students are there only
because they have to stick
around to write last - hope
tests, and find out whether
they've been promoted or have
to write the "finals." The
teacher is there only because
somebody, in his infinite wis-
dom, has decreed that school
will continue until a certain
clay in June.
It's not exactly what we in
the so-called profession's jar-
gon call "a good learning situa-
tion."
Someday, someone with
some common sense is going to
close the schools on the first
day of June, and open them on
the first day of August. June is
a month for joy in Canada. not
imprisonment in a sauna bath.
The days are long, the mos-
quitoes haven't really found
the range, and the world is
green and glorious.
By August,the sun has lost
some of its blast, the clays are
shorter and that first wild lust
for the lushness of summer has
abated. School could run from
7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and there'd
still be a decent chunk of a
summer day to be enjoyed.
It's not only the heat that
makes June rough for teachers.
It's the last-minute panic.
There are 64 memos from the
office, telling you to be in
three places and doing three
different things, at the same
time. Or so it seems.
There are the final exams to
set, supervise and mark. There
are marks to be mustered that
would murder a mathemati-
cian, and written down in six
different places. There are new
books to be ordered, and old
hooks (about 10,000 in my

case) to he sorted and counted
and stored. And everything is
to a deadline that .always
seems to he yesterday.
Some of the young, new
teachers find it a traumatic
experience. Something like
trying to milk a cow while
looking over your shoulder for
the dangerous bull known to
he in the same field. The oldti-
mers just get irascible, and
ignore the bull.
But who can complain?
There is the deep satisfaction
of knowing that Joe Dough has
passed and somebody else will
have to teach him next year,
that Naughty Nancy, she of the
cocky walk and the talky talk,
has her ring, and will be driv-
ing nobody crazy next year ex-
cept the poor simpleton who
gave it to her.
There is the sincere satisfac-
tion of knowing that some of
your graduating students will
probably contribute a lot more
to the world than you have, as
doctors, nurses, teachers, engi-
neers.
There is a special touch of
sadness when the kids in the
two-year course, who are fin-
ished with education, probably
forever, inarticulately tell you
they have enjoyed their year
with ou. Their future is not in
pastel shades. They seem so
young and vulnerable. You
have a great wish that at least
they'll find happiness, if not
affluence.
And finally, there are two
glorious months ahead in
which you don't have to leap to
your feet and scuttle some-
where like Pavlov's rats, every
time a bell rings. I think I'll
stick it for another year.
New $2O Bills
Now Available
On Monday, June 22, Canada's
new $20 bank note was available
to chartered banks at Bank of Can-
ada agencies across the country.
The Bank of Canada said that
banks would distribute the new
notes to their branches making
it likely that they would become
available to the public in most
centres in the course of a week.
The new note presents a cont-
emporary portrait engraving of
the Queen and snakes use of a
greater range of colour on both
the front and back than does the
present note. The steel engraved
portions stand up more promin-
ently to the touch than in the
present $20 note.
The design and production of
the new note are based on research
in depth over a period of years
and incorporates technical regin-
ements from many sources. These
refinements were selected with
a view to improving the security
of the note and creating the max-
imum difficulty for the would-be
counterfeiter.
The new $20 note will be fol-
lowed by new notes of other den-
ominations over a period of time.
They will have a "family resem-
blance" to the $20 note although
each will maintain the same den-
ominational colour as the 1954
series.
The portrain of the Queen will
appear on the $1 and $2 notes as
well as on the $20 note. The $5
denomination will incorporate
an engraving of Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier and the $10 will feature a por-
train of Sir John A. MacDonald.
The $50 and $100 denominations
will carry portraits of William
Lyon MacKenzie King and Sir
Robert Borden respectively.
The current $20 notes will not
be withdrawn but will continue to
circulate in the normal way until
they are judged to be unfit for
further use.
At present about 370 million
notes of all denominations with
a face value of about $3.4 billion
are outstanding. This includes
67 million $20 notes with a face
value of approximately $1, 340
million.
