LETTER TO THE • EDITOR An Unusual Situation AO am planning to take an early retirement next year this is probably a sort of wind-up article as far as my writing about -world history is concerned. It was while reading some fine books on world history that became available • during the 1950's I became convinced, the Western World had opened up a brand new ball game as far as the story of mankind is concerned. This was done by (1) Making some tremendous voyages of disdovery, at times, over tht last five hundred years - Diaz, Columbus, Da Gama, Magellan, etc, (2)' Being able to make fantastic progress in the fields of transporta- tion and communications all down through the 19th and 20th centur- ies. These great achievements pres- ent an unprecedented opportunity for the blending together of the world's different cultures. To make the most of this opportunity it is necessary for our students to be well informed as to the general story of mankind that led up to these achievements. My hopes and expectations that. good use was being made of these fine books on world history were knocked flat in the early 1970's when I discovered that as far as . the Ontario educational authorities were con- cerned our students did, not even need to bother with' the suject of history. In the past I have written articles under such headings as "We Must Do Better", --"An EdUcational Blunder", "Why •the Silence?", "The Bilingual Problem", "The World Peace Effort. is being By-passed", and "We 'are failing to Meet the Challenge". As these articles dealt with educational problems I feel sure some of the readers of the Sentinel must have wondered why none of the teaching.. profession have sent in their views on the problems referred to. I know I felt some surprise and disappointment about the matter until I was able to come-up with two. reasons why we haveit"t heard from them and these are (1). They have ,permitted them- selves' to become involved in too many other interests (2) The fact that the general public is understandably indiffer- ent as to the importance of effective teaching of world history makes it much too easy for the educational authorities to put unfavourable pressure on teachers who venture to express themselveS freely con- cerning the teaching of history. Considering the destructive pow- er of to-day's weapons of destruc- tion there can be no reasonable doubt but that a high percentage of the world's population sincerely wants world peace., Why then are we half-hearted about giving, our senior ,studentS their best oppor- tunity of having a better under- standing of the other peoples of the world? • • Art Andrew, Kapuskasing. BACKFIRE Be careful what you start while trying to stop something — you could be accused of the cardinal sin of butting in.
