--Should Exant Results Be Published?
Education in the context o1 the stan-
dards recognized today as being mini-
mal generates discussion that perhaps,
in the main, centres about the provi-
sion of proper physical facilities.
While physical facilities, particularly
the location of the .schools to the com-
munity, it is designed to serve, are im-
portant, we 'are reminded by the St.
Marys Journal -Argus that there are
other important". areas in the field of
education about which important de-
cisions are being made.
The Headmaster's Association of the
secondary schools is presently mount-
ing, 'a Campaign to end the publication
of promotion results, the Journal -Ar-
gus points out, and gdes on to indicate
that this means that if a youngster
passes or fails, the Association believes
that it is nobody's business but his
own and his parents.
"There are a lengthy dumber of pros
And cons in connection with the pub-
lication or non -publication• of such re-
sults. The Association believes that
quite often a true picture of the stu-
dent's ability is not reflected in the
publication, and that sometimes the re-
portsaxe -,misinterpreted to the ability
of the student. The publication of the
"top, ten4 as carried in .this newspaper
regularly over the past several years
would also, presumably, ' be affected:
should this 'recommendation be ac-
eepted by the Local Collegiate Board.
While we are .willing" to accept the
fact that- injured feelings are liable to
result from publication Of examination
results, . we do . not; believe in dampen-
ing the conipetitive spirit which is no
doubt engendered by• the publication
of the same results. The world today
is,. a highly competitive market -place,
•
and the sooner in ..life the youngsters
realize this fact and prepare to face it,
the better' for them.
In effect, the non -publication of re-
sults would also be a slap in the face
for scholarship' winners. While some
appear to believe that it is always .the
"genius" type of student who makes
the top ten and often wins a scholar-
ship at the end of his Collegiate career,
we are not inclined to go along with
the idea. We will grant a genius rat-
ing to about one, or at the most, two,
of the graduates in. any one year; the'
other eight of the top ten reached this
point by sheer -hard work. De we wish
to discourage work?
Carrying this type of thinking to the
field of sport, should this newspaper not
publish the names of students • who
come first, second .and third in the 100
yard dash? Perhaps we might hurt the
feelings of those poor little children
who ran fourth, fifth' and so on. The
one makes about as. much .sense. as the
other. . •
While it may appear almost sacri-
- ligious to dare disagree with such an.
august body as the Headmasters' Asso-
ciation, we suggest that they give the
matter a little more. thought. Hiding
anything under a bush, whether it be
a thirty day "rap" for • speeding, or
the innermost workings of spending
the taxpayers' money, never' leads to
anything but frustration for all parties
concerned.
The .Journal -Argus concludes that
the results should be published and that
the chips should fall where' they may.
"While the meek are supposed 'to in-
herit the earth, "nanibp=pamby" legis-
lation of this type should not neves- -
sarily be used •to rush • us alo'rig' to this
inglorious end," it concludes: '
