ROUND THE COUNTRY Continued Prom Page Ono the famous football team known as 'Isabelle Armstrong presentedthe the "Hurons" on which Mr. Aber - hart, known as "Whitey" was hall back. These names are descriptive. Judge Jaolcson was "Stoney" because he furnished a rock-ribbed defense. Mr. Elliott was "Tubby" on account of the drape of itis body, and Mr. Ab- erhat't was "Whitey" on account of his light c'elm'ed hair and features.

Then he attended the School of Pedagogy at Hamilton and secured a position in Brantford high school and during his teaching days he studied for a degree at. Queen's without attending the uni- versity. But it was the early school days that made the greatest impression.

He went to university Sclto,lS tt usual the next morning, made a dual speech to his students and was dead in six months. However it was a nubile eehool teacher who made the first and most lasting impression nal ltd:. pupils. Ire Teta a Scotch pedagogue of the old school by the name of McFall], Hit career as a teacher for over' forty years made up one of 1Ite matt eol- 01111l chapters in the /11.t 17 of the f.ounty of Huron. He was an out- standing exemplar of corporal pun- ishment turd one of the most solemn sounds we need to hear was the thud of the strap in the lo',ver hall and his stentorian i•nmmand to the victim to "hold rep: 115: ftp!" This conunanrl was given with a cadence whi,-h w•as quite appropriate 1,t the neea.ion and the word "up" was spoken with a rising inflection which persuaded the delinquent to raise hit Band as high as possible. But corp- oral punishment was always ueeotn- Denietd by exhortations to "be a man," which. after all was the ehief objective of the punishment, No doubt Mr. Aherha't got his ton, Dir. Aberita•t cane to Calgary in 1810 and acted as principal of Crea- t Heights High School for twenty- five years. which brings US to 1935, the year of his appointment as pre- mier of the prnviuce. He mentioned that a young lady had just passed through the coach who had been one of his students and had spolcetl to hint about the old school. When I asked him whether he preferred school teaching or politics, he said emphatically school teaching, if poli- tics meant the usual scramble for ofMVP. Ho said he was in politica only for, the good he might do but his chief memories were concerned with the schools, first as a. student and later as a teacher. He said jocu- larly that he couldn't take another school position in a city as he would be aver superannuation age but he might get a position in a rural school. But nobody, whatever his age, could retire from work and mien approaching seventy or over should he working for themselves and not for somebody else. That is they should have their own job which should he independent. it is not necessary to subscribe to Mr. Aberhart's political opinions to recognize that his chief work In the, government is as Minister of Educe: tion. There, at any rate, he is on home ground and the education of juvenile Albertans is his chief con- cern. That could well be expected when we recall the groundwork he obtained in his own school days, and. it is shown by his preference for youthful company when travelling on a train. Most politicians would sur- round themselves with the company of the faithful.
