This can be A Good Thing, o)r A Bad Thing - as the authors of that illogical and unfor- gettable book of history "1066 and Ail That", would say. By this we mean that taking up classes in one thing atter an- other can sometimes be just a way of putting in time, net tee prefitabiy. On the other hand, if anc is really interested in a subjcct or craft and werks at it, or if the subject opens up broad- er fields of learning and enquiry, it can be time well spent. In any case, et course, we realize that it is everybody's privilege te use his time as he wishes. Time is a very precieus thing. Varieus people have estimated the numnber et heurs in the aver- age span of lite, but we are tee cewardly te do more than glance vcry quickly at these figures because there are se very mnany things te be donc, te be learned, te be read, te be seen. Aprepos of the subject et clusses, however, some people are good at mastering various cratts, and some are net. We liked a little article in the Globe and Mail by Lorrie McLaughlin who said that ber closets are full of her pitiful attempts at varieus cratts, and cost her more than she could have bought themn for, se this year as ber friends start blithely off for the class et their choice, she is go- ing te sit at home in her living iroom with a sloppy peanut but- ter sandwich - she neyer did master the course in the intri- cacies et making party sand- wiches - and cnjoy reading. And triends cleverer than she, se she dlaims, keep bier rooms supplied with handmade articles. ?Ier point is worth thinking about.

Bisseil, has some very sound ideas about what universities are for, or s0 if seems te us be- cause we agree wifh tbem. You will tind much et interest about Dr. Bissell in an article by Gordon Donaldson in Safurday Night et Sept. 27. There is ne place in univcrify for incempetents, he says, but more goed average students should have the eppertunity ef aftending, through the assistance ef student Jeans. Pare-ts who will make time payinenfs on everything cisc are lecry ot these invesfments ti their child- ren's educafion, he says. He thinks tuitien ýees shouid be6 doubled or.- tripled, because Eeducation -- an expensive thing &kS Ass'n. ng Meeting sident of Home and Schol Ceuncil, who, told et some hi- teresting meetings council has planned for the future with the Septemnber meeting being a training school. Mrs. Carl Bradley thanked the speakers for giving se much information about the work ef Council. The meeting was adjourned anid lunch served by .- .Mrs. George Brynzan and her ceai- mittee. OBITUARY ROY SANFORD POWELL and the public should realize it and respect the fact. The loans would aid the second class stu- dent, and more scholarships the top grade student. Higher tees would help keep others out. Dr. Bisseil aise, believes that universities are for learning and for the study of academic sub- jecta. This is miusic te the ear. This in elevating the university back up where it belongs. We hope it is the beginning of a' re- versai of the trend of giving degrees for courses which have nothing te do with university level study. In the battie of the mind which Dr. Bisseil forecast last March will take the place ef the battie for military su- periority, because this has pretty well reached stalemate, the kind of educatien we are giving stu- dents is geing te be very im- portant. Let us hope that we can get something done toelce- mentary and secondary educa- tien, and seon, or what hope is there for the universities? NOTES Well, the great decision bas been made on Teronte's ncw city hall. Ail we're geing te say is - we're clipping eut the ecstatic praise we see in the papers now, along with the or- iginal intended. cost, the ai- ready fantastically greater esti- mated cost, and in five years' time, and again in ten, we're go- ing te take them eut and com- pare them with the then cur- rent remarks. We hope peopl will stili be feeling ecstatic about it. Thank geodness we're net taxable for it. Figures like that frighten uis. The birds are flecking. There were 50o many robins trying te get into, and drink from, our bird'bath the other merning you'd have thought it was an oasis in the Sahara. Our Wrens turncd up atter a long absence, and we have seen Warblers and a Pheebe. The flash ef bright blue and the strident cail is the Blue Jay.
