A Good .Place To Learn
The afternoon was well spent;
we learned a' great deal about
a day in the life of a school
child. Of course, we went to
school ourselves and had some
idea of the curriculum, but
thinking back that far, and hav-
ing the comparisons put to us by
the teacher showed us how dif-
ferent in some ways education
is nowadays, We found out that
history and geography are ,eld-
fashioned now the new trend is
social studies, the art of teach-
ing both together and associat-
ing one with the other. A lot of
the subjects are different but the
three Rs', reading, 'riting and
'rithmetic, do not seem to have
changed.
We found an amazing amount
of indifference and individuality.
in the books that had to be it-
lustrated by cutouts; the draw-
ings that had puzzled us when
brought home were explained
and understood after We had
talked to the teacher. Even the
alphabet took on a new look
when it was explained to us
that it v✓as made up of sticks
and circles. Print the alphabet
and loolc at it yourself. How
simple it is to explain, to small
children- left at home.;Who 'want
something to do.
Did you 'notice the pleasure
written on the face of your child-
ren when you walked intothe
classroom, and the pride he or
she took in showing you their.
own efforts in the books on the
desks, and the special papers

"handouts", let tis say this: the
farmer gives more by far than
he gets back in subsidies for no
manufacturer would think of
producing goods and selling them
at cost to the consumer. He
would stop making them first.
Not so the farmer—he will pro-
duce at cost and ofttimes below
and who benefits but the urban
people.
Maybe she does not consider
raising eggs at 30 cents a dozen
is not handing out charity to
the consumer, Any charity the
farmer gets he gives back two-

Had Similar Reports Before
Farmer's wife wants to know
why we in the forums say the
Gordon report was unnecessary
and being thus a waste of the
taxpayers .money. We have had
many similar reports arid the
Most fainiliar and recent exam-
ple would be that of the royal.
commission on education. It look
many years to appear. Much
good time elapsed and mueh
money was spent, It came and
there ended.
We find ourselves today in the
midst . of a serious educational
crisis of which most of us are
well informed. Had the comities-
sion served its purpose then why
this situation 'now?
Point 'by point as we follow
the Gordon report we find nothing
new. These forecasts are being
made every day. There is not
a product, industry, company,'
or government department that
does not have its own , statisti- I
clans giving out up-to-date in.'
formation to e11 who are interest-;
ed. to read and digest.
That no person can predict a
future for any length of time is
evident when Mr. %. Gordon states
that tit'^ report could be changed
mate 'y by global war, a de-
pression, a change by the govern
meet in its economic policies
or by bad luck.
Let us stop wasting the tax" i
payers money, Let is be ledivi-
duals with the power to think,
read and conclude for ourselves
from the most humble of us to:
those who hold the ``helms" or
sit in "ivory towers" over the
destiny of a country in whose

it was for them: to introduce you
to their friends and point out .

enjoyment showing their young-

was fun for the younger Ones,
teo,'Io see where the lunch box-
es were kept, to admire the fur-
nace, run up and down stairs,
and laugh when they went up
the girls' stairs instead .of the
boys' --which isn't .allowed on
ordinary school days. And what
could be more fun thaxi to be
told it was -recess time and all
the children could go to the base-
ment to play while the ,parents
had a short session with the
teacher?
Pupils Made Lunch
.c.
The crowning glory for the
pupils was when they made the
tea—with a -little supervision—
and arranged cookies on a spe-
cially prepared table, and served
the parents with this little thank
you for taking an interest in
them especially,
The afternoon was a big event
for the pupils—a show of two-
thirds of a year's work; to the
younger children a time of awe,.
fun and excitement; and to Us
parents it was an—education,
11 was a promise kept, and a
,privilege thoroughly enjoyed,
Our special thanks to the •teach•
ers, who made all parents so
welcome. It all sounds so simple
this busieess of teaching school,
t
yet it is one of the greatest est and
most rewarding of all vocations.
ft can also he one of the most
frustrating. May we congratulate
the rural teachers for their pa-
tience and understanding. They
are doing a grand job.

anent of Agriculture at Ottawa:
Slightly more than six million
cases of eggs were marketed
through registered egg ,grading
stations In 1956.. This was the
first year since the two years
1947 and 1948 that egg produc-
tion in Canada has exceeded six
million cases in a year.
Shell egg exports totalled more.
than 116,000 cases or more than
3,500,000 dozen, These exports
in turn were largely offset by
imports of shell egg's and egg
products. In' other words, a1 -
most. all of the sivinillion cases
')na'rketetl thra-Ugh "commercial
channels in 1956 were consumed
imr Canada. The small surplus
went into storage. In the post
war years' of 1947, 1948, 1949
only about half of the commer-
cial marketings were consumed
in Canada. This is positive proof
of the stability of the domestic
market.
D. I. Hoop& might also be in-
terested to know that a high
percentage of the shell•egg im-
ports are hatching eggs, destined
for Canadian hatcheries and on
which import duties are paid.
• Perhaps he will correct lis
figures and not blame the gov-
ernment for these "oddities of
trade?", but place the blame
(if he must) where it belongs,
on the shoulders of the packers
who find it much more profit-
able to put eggs into storage at
300E a dozen, rather than 450
or more.
Yours sincerely,
"A Farmer's Wife"
