It would seem that there are as many doctors specialists today as there are organs and pa*ts of the human body, If a physician is unable to diagnose a complaint, the patient is likely to be handed round to each of these special­ ists in turn before the cause of the trouble-is located, By that time, if the patient has survived the ordeal and cost of the process, he has probably become a nervous wreck.

HAMILTON, R.O. “A Complete Visual Examination” tion, not only in particular subjects but in methods of teaching, on which they differ more than They all agree, however, something wrong with system of education and need for higher and more specialized education of teachers. Dr, L, P, Pat­ terson, president of the Canadian Tea­ chers Federation, has proposed the establishment of a College of Teach-, ers, which would set examinations and require a high standard of quali­ fications. Fellows of the College would be regarded as the top men in the profession. Dr, Patterson argued: “We require people With several years of training to look after the bodies of our cows and dogs, but for the minds of our children six weeks is wonderful. The picture of what will happen to child­ ren confronted by an ill-educated, un­ trained person is not pleasant to con­ template.’’ That may be all very well for the higher grades of education, where they need specialists in advan­ ced subjects, but if all public school teachers had to qualify for a fellow­ ship in a Royal College of Education there would be still fewer teachers available for our public schools, par­ ticularly in rural districts which can­ not afford to employ specialists or highly trained teachers. If we are to compare the teaching profession to that of the doctors, then over-specialization is just as bad for the one as the other. The human body is a unit, and a competent doctor should have made a special study of every part of it and treat the part in relation to the whole. The human mind, as represented in a class of pupils, is also a unit of human nature and each child will have his part to play in society. Highly trained teach-. the doctors, that there is our present that there is The Whigham Advance-Times, Wednesday, Slay 4th, 195*Pago JP1W NOW ON DISPLAY ers Uhd specialists who have concen­ trated on one phase of education are not needed in elementary schools, where patience and a general know­ ledge of and sympathy with human nature are the chief requirements. The highbrow teacher is inclined to regard children from the adult point of view, and the specialist from his own particular angle. The shy or “backward” pupils are regarded as dullards and are rendered duller and stupid by comparison with the “bright” ones who may be merely precocious. As for the proposed College of Teachers, if it were made up of spec­ ialists in the various subjects and con­ tending methods of education, I im­ agine it would develop into a bear­ garden and would have difficulty in choosing a president who would be unbiassed. If the president were him­ self a specialist he would be inclined to favour his own line of teaching and say what was attribtued to a certain Oxford don: “I am the master of this college, And what I know not is not know­ ledge.” SARNIA GROUP PLANS PARLEY ON HIGHWAYS Commerce a meeting Lambton new pro- The Sarnia Chamber of said it will try to arrange of representatives of all County groups promoting vincial highway construction.

It is only a little more than 5 year# ago that Variety Village came into existence an example of what can be done by the co-operation of many people inspired by an idea. Into it have been directed the skills of the ablest experts in the field of training of handicapped boys. And from it has come a dividend in happier human relations that has rewarded the people who made it possible. For many years the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and a wide net­ work of Ontario service clubs had col­ laborated in several programs oi treatment and therapy for cripplec youngsters. In 1949 an extra phase of the drive to aid such children was opened when the Variety Club, service club of the entertainment industry in Ontario, offered to finance a centre where lads restored to near normal ability, could learn trades. As a result, Variety Village, where the lads may live and learn, was built. Thus busi­ ness and professional men, linked by, the Society with the people of th*i> entertainment world, offered a chance to the youngsters who had benefitted from treatment to become self-sup­ porting. Today the 75 graduates of the now- famous Village have proven the worth of the experiment. The lads, who learned, watchmaking and similar trades, are earning an average of $2,000 a year, but far more important is the sense of self-reliance they have developed. Aided to better health by the funds created by the annual sale of Easter Seals, which finances treat* ment programs, the boys were able to benefit from the school’s training program, and to face the world with confidence. The Campaign which lasts until April 10 • has an objective of $550,000.

The purpose of the program is to make possible discussion of the prob­ lems of the rural community, to give clergymen a greater knowledge of the basic principles of agriculture in re­ lation to the work of the church, and to provide systematic instruction for those clergymen wishing to specialize in the study of rural sociology, agri­ cultural economics, or nutrition. The course in rural sociology will conclude a three-year plan and deal primarily with rural institutions—the home, school, and church. The studies in agricultural economics will deal with the marketing of farm products, and include marketing schemes and the growth of Ontario co-operatives. The nutrition course will present basic information in the nutrition of live­ stock for efficient production, and its relation to human welfare. Field trips and other projects will complete the week-long course. All Ontario clergymen and their wives will be invited to attend the school. 1 STROKE I MORE RESPONSIVE, MORE ECONOMICALV-8 POWER!
