IT'S ' THE DEMOCRATIC. WAY
Presently the Township of Ashfieldis
buzzing with school talk and within the
▪ wast: few weeks school questions' have;
arisen in the 'Township of Kinloss.
The question at hand is:, "'Central
? Schools" in ; roost cases. Should' the one
• room school 'become :a thing of • the . past
sand be replaced by new ,multi-roorne l
schools or should we continue to educate :
our pupils by the one -room method? There
are many.:'answers from many residents to
.this ' question. Some want the best educa-
tion for their children with cost very little
mattering. ,Some want the cheapest 'educa-
tion with the quality not mattering. But
°the majority 'want, a''combination of the•.
To solve these school
problems many
of : the rural sections will refer to the de-
mocratic way — a vote of ; the ratepayers.
This is fine if they know what they. are •
Voting, for, ,but. how many do?'This is no
reflection on the intelligence , of the rate-
payer, but'simply that'• the; matter becomes
complicated and:. involved with ' adecision
not easy to decide upon. '
It may be that some do not approach
the subject' with an open mind, for there is
always a sentimental reluctance to accept
changing conditions. In cases where they,
do, it is difficult to grasp all the .informa-
tion that is presented,pro and con in a : few
short meetings , or. street corner talks. We
have attended several • school meetings re-
cently and each time a ; new idea comes up :
that throws an entirely different light oil
the subject.
If you .have a vote in , your ,section,
try to weigh things from both sides before
casting your ,ballot. Think rt. about .the future
• education of your %children, or those of your
neighbours. That. is what really matters.
Personal . feelings 'should be secondary.
The response so ' far to. the • ballot; for
or against capita punishment, has been
disappointingly' light. If you have .a•.'con-
viction in the ; matter, look . up last week's
paper, mark your "x''• and, send or bring
, -it to The . Sentinel'. Office, ' or put it in the
outside :letter. drop..
The. ,strong diplomatic note . by, the.
United States about the: race riot killings in
South Africa, must surely have been with
tongue-in-cheek, in view of the smoldering
racial unrest in the South which breaks out
periodically ' to make international head-
lines. It is all very well for those of us
who have no such racial, problems to be
smug,. and tolerant, but there are circum-
stances and conditions peculiar to , all:: these.
problems for which there is no overnight
solution. The tragedy of this insurgence of
nationalism is that rationalitydoes not''.
prevail when time- is • an essential factor
in . avoiding, the chaos of bringing '.about
momentous chan$es.
In assessing a fine of $25: and costs .I
on ° a; l'6 -year-old Wingham youth who
pleaded guilty of being'in a beverage 'room'
while, a minor, Magistrate ,.McClevis is
quoted as saying, "What you young squirts
need is ' to have fir 'shingle put ' to you."
With' that : we.; have no argument, but it
seems like getting the cart before the horse.
What about the hotel operator who permits,
minors in ' the beverage room, and ; those
who serve them? Have they. • no ,responsi-
bility, and are they not subject to a penalty
`for infraction of the' law.. Give us a law
that can be enforced, .was the cry of the
"champions of our teenagers" . in their ' suc-
cessful bid to have . the CTA repealed so,
that 'among. other advantages ouryouth''•
could be protected from the demoralizing
and unscrupulous, bootlegger.
