THE PLOT AGAINST
OUR SCHOOLS
Teachers are being' lam-
basted :from all quarters
these days, poor things. As a
species, they are practically
harmless. But then is, not
that one of the immutable
laws of,our society? Attack
the harmless, and tread
warily with the powerful
and the ruthless.
According to their crit-
ics, all they are interested in
is more money. This, of
,pourse, is not true of plumb-
ers,pt.licemen, doctors and
-dentists, _lawyers and- even -
Indian chiefs, garbagemen
anclogarage operators.
Sure .they're interested in
'more money, at least
enough to- keep Up with the
galloping cost -of -living in-
dex.
-But it's a lie that neoney
is all they are interested in.
The great majority is inter-
ested chiefly ' in doing well
what they are supposed to
do - educate our children.
And I can't blame them
when they get a little sore at
the constant, usually ignor-
ant heckling of people who
' don't know what it's all
abott. Nor can I help feel-
ing a certain kinship when
, sonic of the more militant
young teachers start talking
about strikes and such. •A
garbageman can go on'
strike, a teacher can't. The
logic eludes me. .
The whole business
bothers me very little, per-
sonally. A man who has
been through a war and a
decade as a weekly news-
paper editor has developed 'a
pretty tough„skin.
But there is something a
little sinister in the growing
influence of politicians on.
- education, for purely politi-
cal reasons. And I feel* a
tremour of alarm whenl see
a few Sb -called. responsible
daily newspapers frothing at
• the mouth when the simple
word "teachers" emerges. •
.1 am grinding no axe. In
fact, •I don't- even have a
hatchet for ,chopping kind-
ling. I lost it. But it appears
to me that a*few Machiavel-
lian Characters have' put
, 'their pointed heads together
' and decided to destroy, de-
liberately, our educational'
. system. ,
• 'The system, when you
and I went through it, dad,
Was far' from perfect. But it
needed reformation, not
defamation. It required
healing medicine,. not mad,
massive surgery,
The first political step to-
ward chaos occurred when
many of the local school
boards throughout, Canada
lost their autonomy. The
. Boards •were .made up of
men and women who would
hust a 'gift, literally; to get
the best possible education
for,their own, local kids. It
was far from perfect, but it
worked.
Then the provincial
governments decided this
was archaic. ,Of course it
.- was. So is the Bible. SO is
democracy. S,o is, the con-
ceiving of children,
Next step. In Ontariooi)
• for example, county schct
boards •were formed. Act-
ministrators were appointed '
who .kneW nothing of strict-
ly local conditions. In many
• cases, not ail, the -school- ,
boards became mere rubber
stamps for the administra-
tors. The latter, in turn,
work hand in glove with the
provincial Department of
Ed. It, jri turn, is responsible
to the party in power.' A
nice little ring -a -round. So
who is running what?
When this was firstipro-
posed, I prophesied the re -

creased efficiency. And- I"
take back 410t word of it.
Ask any teacher, .
Then the „ government,
with pious rectitude, after a
period of spending untold '
millions on education, and
almost suggesting that
everyone who makes it in
Grade I should graduate
from university, takes a
sidelong look at the,taxpay-
ers, and decides to play Jack
the Giant Killer. Via spend-
ing ceilings on education. •
'there don't _seem to be
any spending ceilings on
. health or welfare.
, But out (Alone side of its
mouth, through its tame De- -
partment of Ed., 'govern-
ment says, "Let's have more
innovativef daring, relevant
courses for Our students."
Out of the other side it says,
"Sorry, we can't- afford
that ... dr -- that or
that."
Something stinks? To me
it does.
Oh, well, let's raise the
taxes on booze and smokes
and build some more •high-
ways ' and airpdrts. Let's
raise tuition fees and cut
, down on government schol-
arships, and maybe the uni-
versities won't be so crowd-
ed.
And let's get out the
whips and show those- un-
