WHY THE SILENCE?
I am somewhat surprised that
none of our teachers , especially
those who have reached retire-
• Ment, have written to the 'Sentin-
el giving their opinion as to the
importance of effective teaching
of world history.', As one who is
convinced that there has to be a
close relationship between• world
understanding and • world 'peace I'
am amazed at the timing of the •
Ontario Department of Education
in making history an optional sub,
ject.
Looking over the completed
centuries that have come and
gone since recorded history began
a little over six thousand years
ago, it isn't at all difficult to.
give all-star rating to the 19th
century. As there was.a good
deal of activity in the latter part
of the 18th century , this activity
undoubtedly contributed towards
making the 19th an outstanding
century. Among those activities'
were 1. The introduciton. of James
Watt's steam engine.. 2. The
American Revolution of 1776.
3. The beginning of the .Industrial
Revolution around 1785. 4. The
French Revolution of '1789.
'As the 19th century opened
Napoleon Bonaparte was on
way tobecoming the strong man
of Europe. Napoleon's greatest
years were probably during the
years 1805-10. From 1810-15 the
power. of Napoleon ebbed and .
flowed until his eventual defeat
at Waterloo in 1815. From around
the 1820's all through the 19th and
continuing into our own 20th cen-
tury,, the . Western World made all
sorts of progress in the important
fields of transportation and ' .
communications. This great pro-
gress on the part of the Western
World has resulted in the notable
achievement of literally bring-
ing,the formerly scattered peoples
and cultures of the world under
one roof. This much 'greater prox-
imity facilitates the exchange of
cultures thus presenting the oppor-
tunity of a richer life for .all con-
cerned.
on-cerned. On the other, ha nd it is
very unfortunate that -
this great progress in the fields
of transportation and communica-
tions has ' made it possible
for. the outbreak of war on a world
wide scale. As we are all well
aware this has ,occurred twice in
the 2'Oth century -- in 1914 and
again just twenty-five yeaarslater
in 1939. . The 'terrible toll of -,
World War I is said to beat least
10 million dead and 20 million
injured with the colt in money
being estimated to be about
215 billion dollars. World War II
was the mightiest military ven-
ture in
en-ture'in history. In costs, casual-
ties, participants, and effects
dwarfed all previous conflicts.
During the last five hundred
years•.there ate two ways in which
the Western World has played a
leading part in bringing the
peoples of the world much closer
together and' these are 1. Making
many important' voyages of dis-
covery. 2. Being able to make
spectacular progress in the fields
of transportation and communica•
tions during, the 19th. and 20th
centuries.
This outstanding leadership by
the Western World has placed an
obligation on its high school and
university students to become
informed as to how they can best
help thenon -Western peoples of
the world to feel at homein this
new togetherness arrangement.
.Considering the many counter-
'interests of our affluent society,
I often wonder how many ,parents
are aware of this obligation that
our students have been born with.
