obediently to the world of Julius
Caesar,
In my opinion, the original
concept of education has
become somewhat tlistorted•
In the beginning, learning was
a dialogue between the student
and teacher. Both became highly
involved in the realms of
humanity and science through
direct personal discourse,
But this is no longer the case,
Why?
The principle reason is. that
school is not the prize of the
privileged in this day and. age. It
is for the masses and in this
highly mass-orientated world,
the individual has suffered.
The original system instilled a
genuine relationship between the
learner and the learned.
Personality, individual attitude
and creativity were accented,
Now, the teacher stands at the
front of the room, and, with
eyes cast toward the sacred text,
preaches a forty minute sermon,
In fairness to the teachers,:
however, it must be stated that
they are not solely to blame.
They have been instructed to
teach a certain course within a
specified time limit. Frequently
• the course is too heavy for the
hours allotted to it, and thus the
object is to rush through the
material as swiftly as possible.
This leaves the student in a
daze, and suppresses his natural
curiousity, NO one wants to be
forced to learn something at a
great speed. Time must be
accorded for questions and
general discussions,
interpretations and personal
evaluations.
Basically, the question is this:
how can a boy or girl schooled
in our era of education be
considered equipped to handle
our vast world problems? There
is a cold, real world outside the
sheltered classroom.
Consider the thousands of
people who die each day from
lack of food; how the nations
spend billions of dollars each
year on military defense when
there appears to be little hope of
defence against the weapons

And Biafra where .thousands of .
humans both military and
civilian die a terrible deatn„eacn

,racial V101efWe-whieh is occurring

Only a .few ,of the grim problems
which 'face the Student upon
graduation; problems which, beg.
to be .solveti.
Yet with our present
educational system, - these
MOOTS are seldom .discussed,In
fact, the truth is that topics with.
religious or political overtones
are totally ignored,.
Is there any valid reason why
Bob Dylan, Viet Nam or An
editorial from, the daily
newspaper should not be the
subject of an unstructured and
relevant discussion?
Surely there is as great an
edncatiOnAl experience to be
derived from real things —
politics, people, modern
literature, newspapers, etc, — as.
there is. from - the traditional
"reading, writing and

The biggest mistake, then,
would .appear to be that the
various school administrations

setting up courses which become
increasingly complex but which

Students should not be expected
to accept all that is parroted to

Seminars and similar grouP
discussions should be
encouraged even at the primary
levels of education so that by
the time students reach high

Most important, older
