LLOYD ETUE 8-15p-tfb ?one Collect Zurich 78r5 BENJAMIN B1jVEH5WGE) } A Harvard English professor says: "Education for all is educa- tion for none", and goes on to explain that while there is nothing, wrong with the individual's desire for a good general education, 113e standards in the universities have been lowered so as to include everyone with the inclination in the once exclusive fraternity of diploma holders. There is an in- crease in the student body, and malty schools have geared their curricula to suit the slowest stud- ent, which does not provide real education for the brilliant scholar. What a vehement subject this could be! Doubtless Dr. Hilda Neatby ("So Little for the Mind") would be quick to agree that edu- cation today is social and politicial rather than intellectual, and she might go on to say that in spite of a shrinkage of qualified teach- ers in the public schools, the col- leges are producing more grad- uates than ever before. The valid- ity of the Harvard man's argu- ment, as far as Canada is con- cerned, would seem to depend on whether or not the lack of qualif- ied teaching inpublic schools is countermanded by more efficient and practical: instruction in the universities. It may be alarming that the teaching standards are slipping. Bat it does not seem to me that a brilliant student is going to be held - back, because of a retarded curriculum. That's where the gold and thelead comes in. No doubt, "Things are seldom as they seem: Skim milk masquerades as cream." 1oR TOPrAUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL.SERVICEt We have recently installed some more new, modern valve equipment.

I ud Maiden Voyage Next Spring Hundreds of workers, representing dozens of specialized trades, are putting the finishing touches on the 24 -000 -ton Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Britain" in readiness for her maiden voyage in the Spring of 1956. :Launched June 22 by Her Majesty Queen. Elizabeth at Govan on the River Clyde, the newest of the Great White Empress fleet is now being outfitted at the quay: side. Of modern design, the vessel will carry 1,050 passengers on her North Atlantic travel route between Liverpool and Montreal. But I have been •very much im- pressed in recent years by the high proportionate percentage of .Albert Schweitzers and Alexander Flem- ings who are coming out of the schools of higher learning, coming fffruom the masses and returning to By the number of crew-cut young men wearing bow ties who have become presidents of large corporations, it is reasonable to assume that there is something in the new educational regime that brings out business talents. The average citizen is more able to make a living than he was two decades ago. What the system is doing for the professions concern- ed with the humanities is another. matter. * * * wous a ld be ideal post -script students could do their travelling first, and acquire vision before seeking higher edu- cation. But in any event we .are wrong, I think, to try too hard to make the acquisition of knowledge easy. We should not expect to read and enjoy a text book with- out some effort of our own.
