EDUTORIAU. COMMENT A Project for Everyone By Marsh Yarrow, Port Arthur, News Chrouicle Everyone shouid have a personal 'VjoJect with which to celebrate the -10tW birthday of our country. It is fine fa decide ta paint the fencé, plant new fIowerà ani mow the *awn more regularly. Such manifesta- tions of personal pride help ta, make a miore attractive comrnunify. Better- looking communities make a lovulier Canada and reflecf the advances in matrial well-being that have faken place In this maif blessed among m3ations. When a country han reached ifs 1Oth birthday it is stili young, but the entury shouid have resulted in spirit- 4ual as well as mnaterial growth. The bard days of the pioneerh ave passed. Thone should be more time for things of the heart and the mind as the need for concern about the physical neces- -aities for existence lessens. Canada, as a nation, is paying at- tention ta such things. Each year our people through their elected govern- m1enti are showing an increasing defer- »iffiation ta ensure the romfort of aur ýelderly, ta guarantee treatmenf for the sick ind the best of educations for our young. There in help for those who fal uÙpon hard times.

Ail these things are good, for they indicato a growing awareness of the basic bratherhood of man. But in such matters governments reflect only the qualifies of their own peoples. Further progress must originate with the indi- viduai. Therefore, if would be a most ap- propriafe birthday gif t for Canada if every citizen in this country were to resolve ta do somefhing te promote the spirit of brotherhood. And Brotherhood Week is a ignificant time to make such a resolve. Ah yes, aur government ie acting ta place curbs on hafe literafure and punish those who stir Up animosity againsf peuples uf different races, creeds and colors. Buf, in the main, this in negafive. Suppressing hafe is ane thing; the fosfening uf a warm, outgoing feel- ing of brofherhood for every human being regardiess of his origin is a much more rewarding and, perhaps, a much more difficuit underfakin g.

As a good Canadian, can you de- dline ta undertake this project? Over the years, Canada ha. shown lhe way te the world in many aspects of Medical research.

I know. Enough in enaugh. This in positivély the last in a senies af coluni on educafian. Let me nepeat that I'm no expert, just a parent, fax- payer and feacher, and equaily cancern- ed in earh raie. I've been crifical. In some quarters, nu doubf, my nemanks have been con- sidered nank heresy. But this is a posi- tive side. Lef's look at if. Most cheening is fhe tremendous inforest in educatianal impravement bath tram wifhin and withouf the sys- tem. Depanfments ot educafion are spending large amaunts of fime, thought and money in an aftempt fo ecrambie into the second part of the twentiefh cent ury. New universities are springing up like mushrooms, with fresh and invig- arafing ideas, vifal young teachere. Men and women ini ail waiks of life are faking a hard look at what they are getting for their money, and what they wanf for their children. As a resuit of these things, much oftfhe old rigidity and inflexibilify are crumbling under heavy fire. Changes are coming. It,. flot been any easier te get thom started thau to make a teamn of oxen break into a gai- lop. But they're coniing, even though thoy may gallop right through the fence. Thomas Acquinas hasn'f much to say to the swingers uf today, with the New Moraiify on one side oftfhem, and nuclear annihilation on the other. In fact, a punning colleague suggested: "Should Old Acquinas be forgot?" Egerfon Ryerson is not exacfiy haunting the halls of Ryerson Insfitute. Ifes more iikely he's holding his heav- enly head in his hands with horror as he sees the students of that establish- ment putfing away more aie per capi- ta than fheir prototypes of Oxford and Cambridge in the days of Elizabeth I.

Better an elite of the mind than an elit. of middle.class money and morality. As for the emotionally mature bit, that fou, is poppycock. Some peuple are emotionaiiy mature at 10, others nover. Another big change will be cur- ricuia. Kids will be taught less, farts, more about lite. That i., insfead uf square roufs and dangling participies and the Peloponnesian Wars, they'l1 learn about f h e m s e Ives and ofher peuple, about beauty and economirs, about leisure and love.
