Clinton News-Record, 1946-08-22, Page 3IHUR.SDAY, AUGUST 22, 1946 MINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE THREE EDUCATION By 'PEG" We have all sat at a window or stood on the street and watched the children going to sciasol on the first day after the summer holiday season. . A number of them are going for the firsat time. They are starting out on their life work although they little realize what it all means. The major- ity of them are just going to school. It is alright for quite often mother or Daddy is With them. They have been looking forward to this great day for some time. As a rule Mother bas seen that they are nicely dressed, realizing that first impressions are lasting. The majority of the public schools teach up to and include grade VIII and it is to passing the Entrance the majority of students look forward. There are some who even in their young days speak of the time when they finish Collegiate and will attend University. A great deal depends on the view point of the parents as re- gards Education. Those who have been to' school be• do not need any further Education and they will bring forward every kind of excuse, not the least of which is that Mother and Dad have kept them at school all that time and now they should trn and help themselves. With that excuse children can some- times persuade their parents to let them stop school. is a grateful thought on the part of the children if it's genuine. There are many cases where parents have worked long hours at hard work to send their son or daughter to college, but parents are in a better position to. decide whether they are able to carry on and the children or youth should do their utmost to help with the ex- penses not only financially, but lyy ex- pending their greatest energy in studying and not spending more time than necessary in pleasure. There are times when children and even those in college years spend their time foolishly and neglect their school -work. The story is told of a young man who thus spent his eollege term. fore return to the seat of learning He telegraphed to his ibrother ',Faded with varied thoughts. .Sonne regret in all five papers, prepare father" the that the holiday season is over, others 'brother telegraphed back "Father usually those of a studious nature, preparecaprePare yourself" feel that they are anxious to get back to their books. Some have felt they needed to work in some way to help with the expenses of the next year ary things are we left with the feel - and one feels that honor is due them ing that wa might have done better for so thinldng. There was a time if we had given our school work first when it was not thought that the place? Have we dreaded to take youth of our land should work in the home a report of failure.

Reid, D P C have purchased the cleaning and pressing business of Lennis Regier. Flt. Lt. Reid is presently stationed at Clinton R. and C. S. He was stat - limed at Centralia airport after his return from overseas and was then posted to Clinton, his home being in Montreal. His wife is formerly from Watford, England. Sbe joined her husband in Canada approximately four yeats ago. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.. R. J. Coutanehe, arrived in New York by plane about two months ago and are now living in Exeter. Her brother, Raymond, who served in the army during the war will operate the business. * * RECOGNIZE SERVICEMEN GODERICH—Recognition of local servicemen who. enlisted locally by a suitable gift or memorandum as well as the setting aside of Thanksgiving Day in their honor, was unanimously endorsed by Town Council Tuesday night. Approximately 400 service personnel enlisted from this town, stated A. IL Lane, of the Canadian Legion, at the epecial meeting of Town Council and service organize.. tionsi A recommendation that the gifts be made at a public reception was also approved, the cost of the whole to be holm by the corporation, but not to exceed $5,000, their son to go through for some pro- fession even if it means a great sac- rifice for them. That indeed makes a problem in a home. Perhaps a word , r"an- en^ who has spent years in study may do a great deal to help change the mind of the boy but ifm not then he may make good in soe other walk in life. Do we ever see children beginning the fall term at school that we do not wish we had the opppatunity to begin some time of study? It is unfort- unate that we do not have that thou - they are unable to do so.

If we would only .profit from the experience of others it would in- deed be much easier for us. There is a moment in our lives that we are not attending this school. Everything we learn even from the time we draw our first breath we must be taught. There are times when we never seem to wait to profit by what has happen- ed to some one else who is in pratica- lly the same circumstances we are. In our daily papers we see instances of the same thing from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The animals ap- parently had come across the river, ently respectable parents are shocked on learning of their son's difficulty. We cannot help asking the question if the father had made a pal of his son would such a thing have happened? Parents cannot stay away from God's house and neglect the family altar in their hoine and expect anything but disappointment in their son and daughter, The tragedy of it all! One cannot wonder that children or youths who get into trouble blame their par- ents for not leading them to Christ in their young days. There are many men and women in our penitentiaries who have come from Christian homes but there are many who put the blame of their downfall where it belongs -on their parents. That may seem hard but without a doubt it is true. Every day we see children being taught A child learns not to play with fire asually from being Unlined; he does not overbalance in a tree be- cause he has at some time fallen; he learns how to swim by plunging into the water. There are many things which could he said along this line. In a few days school will be opening Some of our boys and girls will not be going back due to one circumstance or another, but the fact that they will not return need not keep them from continueing their studies. If there is no evening class where you live you can take a correspondence course or get in touch with the principal of the local Collegiate or High School. In this way there is no reason why sen- ior Matriculation should not be ob- tained. If this has already been acc- omplished then one can continue University course by taking even a few subjects each year, The time is rapidly coming when a University de- gree will he absolutely necessary in the business world: Let us grasp every opportunity we possibly can to keep up with the world of knowledge. All other events in life fade before the greatest experience, that of break- ing away from a life of sin and enter- ing the realm of Salvation. We are then attending the school named "The Way of Eternal Life," The Head Master of that school is Jesus Christ. We just need one text Book -the Bible. There is no entrance or Educ- ation fee. We simply take from our Saviour the free gift of Salvation. it s a gift just as one would give us a Christmas gift. There is one differ- ence Gifts at Ohristra Birthday are given usually to those Whom we love who love us but Christ -s gift is given to "Whosoever believeth on Him" and that greatest of all gifts is Eternal Life. Is it not wonderful for us to think that God will help us to intro- duce someone to the great Teacher, who with 118, Can enjoy everlasting life with Him? If we had to pay a big price for that gift we would in all probability be inuch more anxious to secure it than we are when it is free.
