“The biggest trouble with our
schools is the inspector we’ve
got,” Mr, Tweedie charged. The
inspector (Elwood Oakes, of
Strathroy) won’t help normali
ties, he said, and he wouldn’t ap
prove high school students who
take a summer course in teach
ing.
Tweedie said the inspector
hadn’t visited one school for* two
years. “Normalite teachers know
they aren’t going to be helped by
the inspector, that’s why we can’t
get' teachers.”

member of the board, said he

he would run again because he
felt the school issue was worth

by the Overstreets is available

Th« Mind Goes Forth
The Overstreets, man and wife,
have again collaborated oh this
book, Harry Overstreet, an out
standing loader in education,
has written many books; con
spicuous among them is “The
Mature Mind.’.’ not only one of
the most popular but also one
of the most influential in our
day.
Bona-ro Overstreet has won
distinction as a writer, lecturer-
and teacher. The Overstreets
wrote as joint authors for the
first time in “The Mind Alive.”
The Mind Goes Forth is the
drama of understanding. This is
the drama of the mind's going

to show* how we can get through
the walls of suspicion and antag
