The Most, Honorable Adventure
There has been much discussion in
the press and elsewhere concerning, the
smelled deterioration in the stature of
the House of ' Commons as a result of
the continuing introduction of trivial
•bickering, innuendo and personalities in-
to debate.
The Minister of Agriculture, Hon. J.
J. Greene, in a recent address, set the
matter in proper prospective when he
discussed events of past weeks in the
House in these words :
". . . but it WAS not a spectacle that
developed suddenly. It has been con-
structed over 'a period of several years,
out of a• willingness by some members
to put ruinous scandal-mongerio.g ahead
of responsible debate, day in and day
out, session after session.
"Legitimate criticisms o •the-g-overn-
ment have too often been seized upon
by ambitious opportunists :and exag-
gerated with such extravagance that
factswere swallowed. in clouds of
innuendo and the truth hopelessly
mingled with misrepresentation and
even falsehood.
"It, is certainly a fundamental re-
sponsibility of every " Opposition to
criticize the actions of Government.
But criticism becomes dangerously de-
structive when it goes far beyond all
available facts and I believe this has
happened too often during the last few
years, and that this has been an im-
portant factor in bringing the House
of Commons to the state it was earlier
•
this week:
"In all of what has happened in the
Commons over the last few years, there
seems to be a sad irony in the fact
that not until sex reared its titillating
head in the background were senses
of honor so outraged that no Member
could any longer afford to indulge him-
self in irresponsibility.
"Not many months ago, when the
government was accused of being in
league with the underworld, few there
were who raised their voices in pro-
test. I wonder how seriously any Cab-
inet Minister would have . been taken
had he "then protested that this blanket
accusation make him ashamed to face
his family when he went home at
nights. Few were the voices raised in
the land, that this still unsubstantiated
accusation should ever have been lev-
elled at a Government by any Opposi-
tion. member,"
Mr. Greene concluded by reminding
his audience that public .service is the
real purpose of politics. And politics,
he suggested, should be regarded in the
same manner as did a former Governor-
General, Lord Tweedsmuir, when he
wrote : "Public life is regarded.. as the
crown of a career and to young men
it is the worthiest ambition. Politics
is still the greatest and the most hon-
orable adventure." •
CALM AND COLLECTED
• (Vancouver Sun)
"Did the captain remain -calm and
collected when the ship blew up?"
"He kept very calm, yes, but he is -
still being collected."

Mr. George Murray's old blind

for many years, has gone the
way of all flesh. He was about -
26 years of age, and was brought
here by the late John Ament.

Yes, it's humbling. You have
begun to build up -with no
really good reason, except that
you haven't been fired - the
idea that you're an excellent, if
not outstanding teacher.
Then you start to read what
your students have "learned"
from yqu in the past six months.
Nothing. Zero. You have mere-
ly compounded their ignorance.
You have only - confused ' the
simple teen - age philosophies
they have acquired from tele-
vision, hootenanies, Mad maga-
zine and the poolroom. °
Some young and tender teach-
ers, faced with this shattering
moment, have been known to
turn green, rush to .the school
board, offer their resignations,
and even, in drastic cases, at-
tempt to pay back the salaries
they.. have accepted since Sep-
tember. •
For the older,. tougher teach-
er, it is not quite such a trau-
matic experience. • Oh, they may
swear a bit, tear their. hair a
bit; and . froth slightly at the
mouth. But they do .not offer
to return their salaries. The last
known case of this, among old-
er teachers, .was in 1714.
The more experienced teach-
ers accept this disillusionment
as they do the changing of the
seasons. They ' know that by
" We're'all set in the pickled pigs feet, radish, smoked salmon,
and hot mustard departments!"

some magic alchemy of spring,
Easter holidays, parental pres-
sure, and three months of un-
relenting labor on their own
parts, it will be all sorted out
by June, and most of the kids
will. advance a 'grade.
And it must he admitted that
marking exams is not unmitigat-
ed misery. It has, its moments.
On several occasions, respond-
ing to 'peals_ of .maniacal laugh-
ter from my study, my wife
has dashed up the stairs, ready
to call the boys in the white
coats.
There's the student who tries
the shot -gun approach. Scatter
your gems as widely as possible,,
and you're bound to hit some-
thing right. One such, in a re-
cent history exam, identified
John D. Rockefeller thus: "He
was a Prime Minister of Eng-
land and very important in the
labor movement." The rumble
heard at the time was John.. D.
trying to argue " his way back
to this_ world so he could stran-
gle the kid.
Sometimes it's not funny. On
a recent exam, junior students
were asked topick the right
verb from 'this sentence: "They
have (drunk, drank) all the wa-
ter." A little blonde girl with
troubled 'eyes . chose • "drank" be-
cause, as she pointed out,
"Drunk is not a verb. It's a
-noun." She had good reason for
her answer.,. Her father is one.
• And then, ef course, amid the
welter of confusion comes the
sudden stab ,of pure, refreshing
delight, the discovery of an
original, perceptive mind, try-
ing to make sense out of all
this nonsense. It's like finding
a ,solid piece of ground in a
swamp, a cool spring in the
desert.
That's the moment when ,the
poor old teacher is hooked once
again by that most irritating of
nuisances, faith in the future
of the human race. 'And bleary-
eyed, but with l-ligi?ter heart,
he bows his weary' head once.
