Self fulfilment la the goal of
all education Sister Nan!, 9114, ciPsi of St. James'' SCFarate•
School, told members of the
Seaforth Lions Club when she'
addressed the club. Monday
The meeting was held in
St. Thomas' Church. Ran. She
pointed out that the-decision as
to the kind of educational ex-
perience which we wish to pro-
vide for our children and which
they will receive is a matter for
our own decision.
Referring to the time she had.
been in Seaforth,- Sister Mary
said that, she had been impress
sed by the friendliness with
which she had been greeted by
the people of the community.
"Seaforth certainly is living up
to the sign at the entrance to
the town" she said.
"The underlying din of edu-
cation is to further men's un-
ending search for truth, Once
he possesses the means to truth,
all else is within his grasp. Wis-
dom and understanding, sensi-
tivity, compassion and responsi-
bility as well as intellectual hon-
esty and personal integrity will-
be his guides in adolescence and
his companions in Maturity."
This Was the beginning of a
220 page report known to tea-
chers as living and learning i or.
sometimes ^ referred to "as the
Hall-Dennis Report, This report
was undertaken'' by a group of
Men• and women after an Order
in Council dated June lOth, 1905.
The repert outlines the purpose ,
of this study as one which was
to do the following:
—to identify the needs of the
child as a person and as a mem-
ber Of society;
—to set forth the aims of edit,
cation for the educational sys-
tem of the Province.
—to outline the objectives of
the curriculum • for children in
the age< grottos presently desig-
nated as Kindergarten, Primary
and Junior Divisions,
—to propose means by which
these aims and objectives.may
be achieved. '
—to submit a report for the con-
sideration of the Minister Of
Education.
Many Factors To Consider • •
We all• knew that the child is
an integral part of his society
and his school is one of its ma,
jor institutions. But there. are
so many varying factors to In-
fluence the climate in which
the education of Ontario's chid-
then takes place. They include
the land and its people — their
labour force, their political, re-
ligious and- aesthetic values,
their national ideology — and
the changes in society which
have either taken place 'recent-
ly or seem to be emerging. These
are what provide the stage for
the day to day living that the
young ekperience.
We must remember that the
children who enter the schools
of Ontario during the next few,
decades will spend Most of their
lives in the 21st century. If the
current rate of social, economic
and technological change is
maintained in the years ahead,
the educational process will
need continuing re-appraisal and
sehobl programs will have to
be.: designedto respond accord-
ingly — and so we might say
that this is just the beginning.
Freedom to Search for truth
at every educational level is One
of the „stoutest ramparts of a
fine society, and this defence
we must never yield if we are
to protect our way of life.
The beacon to guide the truth-
seekers of tomorrow is depen-
dent for its fuel upon the free-
dom exercised by society to-
day. A free society cannot be
taken for granted and truth and
freedom must be guarded, as
precious treasures. Each of us
has-the right to ,enjoy 'them:
More than that, we have •stile
Obligation to protect them, and
we must have the courage to
accept and embrace the respon-
sibilities that they hold out to
us each day..
There • are some times when
we might ask ourselves just
what freedoin- really is — in
this age of apparent lawlessness,
stedent disseiat and unrest.
Freedom is not-the 'capacity -to
do what you would like to do —
but it is liking to do what you
ought to like to do, then having
the capacity to do that.
Teaching Truth is Challenge '
Perhaps one of our greatest.,
challenges today is teaching the
truth about true freedom.
Learning involves many pro-
nWea from learning to
ognize Colours to the. \philoaphy.
ofZen, ,from lOarO1n$ bow. to blow ones nose to the procl*e co-ordination of eye-surgery;
learning how to "driva'a car to
respecting the consequencek..Of mindless driving; from learning
to bake a cake, read a map, lie
a shoelace, to leptning to aTh•
predate a work-Of art and to
being a parent. Learning does
not follow a set daily timetable.
Abytime of 'day or night, any
day of the week, or any season
may herald a new idea. The
road to learning takes-personal
effort, and no human being can
jump the hurdles for another.
. One very important , item to.
recall here is that all children
are not identical. The system of
education recommended and be-
ing stressed today strongly em-
phasizes the individual. Old
methods of supplying each child
with an identical package of in-
formation to be absorbed in a
given time must make way for
a new process: Learning, instead
of centering around subjects,
would be organized around gen-
eral areas such AS communica-
tions, enviromental studies and
hiunanities. In short the- report
says the curriculum Is for chil-
dren.
Same Laws Govern '
It is of great interest to us as
members of the Separate Schools
to see early in the prologue to
the report the recognition of

education is, imparted in recog-
nition of the dual nature of
man's personality — in the,
knowledge that man consists of
a unity of body and soul, and
that a training for living must
consider both.
Every educator, Christian or
non-Christian comes to his pro-
fession fortified with a philos-
ophy of education. For some, the
terms of this philosophy are
vague, never having found exact
expression in the written or
spoken word, whereas others
have written volumes and built
up whole systems of education
on the tenents of their philos-
ophies. Which ever the case may
be, the fact remains that the
teacher must be equipped with
-a philosophy of education which
is in truth -no more, nor less
than his philosophy of life.

stated earlier the empha-.
sis is on children. The authors
of Living and Learning stand
firm in their belief that if the
child is given freedom to pur-
sue his intellectual bent in the
search •of truth he will be help-
ed to maturity by means of the
decisions he will of necessity
make along .the way.
Living and Learning offers
hope and courage to those in-.
volved in education (and all of
us are in varying degrees) by
placing faith in the young peo-
ple of Ontario. It asks for the
abolition of rigidity and struc-
ture in favour of flexibility and
adaption in order to free the
questing spirit of youth to reach
out for learning, experience,
truth and discovery.
Do we realize that children
born since 1945 have already
experienced• several major rev-
olutions, created by discoveries
• concerning 'the atom, space, the
computer, surgical transplant of
human organs and the new
theology? Taking major accom-
plishments as a routine of hu-
man 1.ife, sensitive young pep-
ple grow restless and uncom-
fortable when- they see unsolv-
ed problems around them. Can
we, who are older keep up with
the young? In education, above
all else, it is essential that we
do. -
It really depends upon us to
decide what kind of educational
experience we want for our chil-
dren. If we want to make the
world a better place in 'which
to live, we have the power to
do it. In such a world, the in-
dividual will' find self-fulfilment.

There are people who shoot themselves. Others take poison, Some drown themselves. These,
are the traditional ways of committing suicid:;. They are quick.
There Are slower ways of cutting a few years off one's life and thousands — about ten thou-
sand Canadians a year — take this way of lea ving their family and friends prematurely.
'They smoke a package or' more of cigarettes daily.
They do this despite the urging of medical societies, voluntary health agencies and very often
their personal physicians.
For at least 12 yea"rs these warnings have been ,quite clear. One,of the first, the Doll-Brad-
ford Hill Report was published in 1957 in the British Medical Journal, surely a sufficiently
august paper to impress anyone. Next came the report of the Surgeon General of the United
States, an even more extensive study. There was nothing uncertain about the findings. They
pointed out that smoking cigarettes increased the danger of cancer of the lungs, cancer of the
bladder, heart disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis enormously.
These studies have been followed by a flood of others in countries dotted all over the world,
rich countries and poor countries. They , all came up with the same answer. No matter where
you live if you smoke a package of cigarettes or more a day you are more likely to die prema-
turely of the dise'ases listed above than if you don't smoke. The' reply of the smokers almost
uniformly is "Well, you have to die of something."
The Canadian Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association has something to say in reply
to' that. You may have to live with emphysema, which means living, but struggling for every
breath, for years and years. There are people with emphysema' living in wheel chairs. There
are people with emphysema who must be waited on like invalids, month, after month. It isn't
pleasant for thew or those around them. In fact it is pitiful. Eight out of-ten of the victims
of this disease have been cigarette smokers.
To anyone who smokes habitually the Canadian TB - RD Association says "Go to the nearest
TB - RD Association and get a pamphlet EMPHYSEMA: THE FACTS or YOU'RE
BREATHING TROUBLES — UNDERSTAND THEM, FACE THEM, TREAT THEM."
And quit smoking. •
