NORMA SIEBERT, LOOK FOR IMPROVEMENT SOON The Canadian Conference on Education met for a four day ses- sion in Ottawa recently. Approximately 1,000 persons, ranging from house -waves to pres- idents of universities, were invi- ted to express their ideas. Their suggestions for improving our ed- ucation varied from Dr. Hilda Neatby's• plea for greater emphas- is on intellectual contend: to the rather picturesque contention of another delegate that the evils of our society spring from co-educa- tion and the too great number of female teachers who fail to instil the manly virtues in our young men students. The Conference did agree on several facts, however. First, that the need for more. adequately qual- ified teachers exists and must be met. Second, that to establish a really good system: of education we are going to have to spend money—a great deal of money. J. A. Fergusun, former president of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture, presented the views of the Federation. The Federation sug- gested that a minimum education- al goal should be set for rural people so that every one should receive at least Grade X academic schooling, plus at least two years vocational training in agriculture or domestic science. He pointed out that the excessively high• rate of early drop -outs in rural areas might be remedied by the estab- lishing of Junior High Schools. These would serve as academic high schools and also provide aux- iliary vocational services. There was almost complete agreement on the teaching of French in English schools and vise versa. It should begin early enough to become a living, spoken language, not just a dead text - hook course. It. was suggested that Grade III would be the right grade to begin this. Lack of qual-. ified :teachers is an obstacle, but teacher exchange programs as well as the use of television, radio and records might help to overcome it. There are, unquestionably, go- ing to be great changes in our ed- ucation system 'soon. Education is everyone's business, so consol- SERVING YOU BETTER . . tlr m.1 asnl.. . . .

It cleans, without removing the shine from the paint. For easy and satisfactory wash- ing of windows use four table- spoons of liquid ammonia to a gallon of warm water; polish with a htnbless cloth or a piece of news- paper. This may be rug-makingtime for some of you. After cutting strips of various colours, try plac- ing each color on a newspaper folded in half, rolling the news- paper and putting a rubber band around it. Now stand the rolls upright in a cardboard box and you have your stripes easily seen, neat and orderly, * * * ST. PATRICK You may wish to think for a moment on this March 17 of the few facts that books tell us of that saint, dear to all the Irish, St. Patrick, St. Patrick was .the British ap- ostle who converted' Ireland to Ohristianity. There were Christ- ians in Ireland before this time, but they were accounted heretics, and St. Patrick was sent to spread the true faith. He is said to have founded over 360 churches and baptized more than 12,000 people. He was thought to have been .born in Kilpatrick, on the Clyde. The date was about 390 A.D. when Britain was still under Ro- man accupation. While yet a boy, he was carried off to Ire- land by raiders. He escaped af- ter six years bondage. Later, as the resultt of a dream, he formed the ambition, to return to Ireland to preach Christianity ta. the Irish. It was not till he C C ennon.te Church Gives Support To Two Missionaries At a recent meeting of the Zur- ich Mennonite Church, the mem- bership decided to increase its mis- sionary giv&ngs to include the sup- port of Rev. and Mrs. Hubert Swarrtzentruber, missionaries in St. Louis, Missouri, The Swartzentrubers, who are members of the Zurich Church, were commissioned last October to meet the spiritual challenge of a new housing area accomodating some 27,000 people. The Mennonite Church is one of the few protestant churches to be- gin work in this area. The plan is to erect a church building when an adequate fellowship of believ- ers has been established. Presently the activities are conducted in a rented building. was over 40 that he was made a bishop and allowed to return to Ireland having spent most of the interval in study and meditation in Gaul. St. P'a•tri.ek died in the spring, when the shamrocks were bloom- ing everywhere in Ireland. Legend tells us that he drove out the snakes .. which infested Ireland. Since he also brought peace, the emblems the snake, pipe and shamrocks are ail associated with his name. YUNGBLUT MEAT MARKET CHOICE QUALITY A MEATS PHONE 57 ZURICH 1955 WILL.
