THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1928 TECHNICAL SCHOOL ISSUE OF OUTSTANDING IMPORTANCE Much significance attaches to the recent advertisement of the Board of Education calling for tentative sketches for an addition to the Oshawa Collegiate Institute, for tech- nical school purposes. The issue is one of vital concern to the people of the city of Oshawa, not only in respect to the growing needs of the community, but having regard to our responsibility to posterity. The ever-increasing demands upon the ac- commodation of the Collegiate Institute arising out of the city's rapid growth have made the enlargement of the building an im- perative necessity. That congestion can be relieved by the addition of a six-roomed wing at a cost of eighty thousand dollars--the present proposal--or it can be met by an enlarged scheme of a technical institute at an outlay of one hundred thousand dollars --an additional cost of only twenty thousand dollars. As to the question of which is the wiser course to pursue in the light of the city's future, there can be only one answer. Recognizing the paramount importance of providing adequate facilities for industrial training, the Federal Government undertook to provide over :. period of ten years fifty per cent. of the cost of building and equip- ping technical schools. That period expires at the close of the present year. . The cost of providing a technical school adequate to the requirements of the city of Oshawa is estimated at two hundred The Federal Government thousand dollars. would absorb one hundred thousand of this outlay, leaving an equal sum for the city to provide--as we have pointed out, a sum only twenty thousand dollars in excess of the expenditure entailed in providing a six- "+ roomed addition to the Collegiate Institute. On the one hand we have an inadequate mea- sure which would afford only temporary re- lief and on the other an enterprise which would provide for the needs 'of industrial training for years to come. We say that there can be no choice as to the wisdom of the greater undertaking--for reasons which are obvious. : Oshawa is essentially an industrial city-- not only that, but it is the fastest-growing industrial city in the Dominion. Directly or indirectly its people gain their livelihood by industrial enterprise. Their families are brought up in an atmosphere of industry. In their infancy they acquire an intimacy with manufacturing processes. The things which surround them and the conversation they imbibe are not of the soil but of the factory. As they grow up they think in terms of mechanism. This is the natural outcome of propinquity, of environment. And it is all perfectly natural--all as it should be. That the people of Oshawa are alive to the advantages of technical training is at- . tested by the crowded attendance at the night classes held by the Collegiate Insti- tute. They realize that technical education is the only safe and sure road to independ- ence; they know that the absence of facili- ties for obtaining such education accounts largely for the pathetic hosts of unemployed which are thrown upon the resources of the country during the winter months. With a proper appreciation of these things we cannot evade the responsibility of pro- viding our young people with the facilities for mastering trades and acquiring the tech- nic of manufacturing processes. The provision of a separate building de- voted entirely to technical school purposes . would release for academic purposes eight rooms now taken up by classes which would be incorporated in the curriculum of the technical school. This would afford the practical solution of a problem which must 7 be dealt with in any case--the whole in- stead of a part at an additional cost which. is negligible in the light of its great advan- tages. . There can be nq intelligent division, of pub- lic sentiment on this important issue, and it is hoped that adequate assurance will be conveyed to the Board of Education as to the feeling of the city in the matter of se- curing the generous assistance of the Fed- eral Government before the option expires. It is unthinkable that such an opportunity - should be lost to the city. The matter is one which calls more for action than discussion. The Board of Edu- cation meets in September, and representa- tions should be forthcoming that the time to provide a technical school is now, when it can be done at the lowest cost. If ever there was an undertaking where procrastin- ation would be costly it is in this case. What is needed is a clear-cut decision stripped of futile discussion and puerile postponement-- the expression of a far-sighted policy which will be translated into bricks and mortar in time to meet the requirements of the boys and girls of today. Oshawa, of all industrial centres, needs a technical school adequate to its growth and the potentialities of its future. Oshawa, of all industrial centres, has no technical school. The time is at hand. WELL AND TRULY LAID There are occasions in our lives when we receive a moral uplift through contact with something beautiful---some finished expres- sion of thought, word, or deed; something in entire harmony with our conception of things at their best; some spark of the div- ine flame which throws a little light on our pathway and reveals life in a fuller meaning. Such an occasion was the laying of the corner-stone of the new Masonic Temple by Hon. J. S. Martin, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario,--an impressive and dignified rit- ual which generations of Freemasons yet unborn will honor in the chronicle of Osh- awa's historic events. The details of the ceremony are reported elsewhere in this issue, while an illustrated description of the building was published in our Greater Oshawa Edition of last Sat- urday. Suffice it to place on record the feel- ing of a grateful community to the great Masonic Order which is sponsoring the pro- ject of providing not only a temple for the accommodation of its lodges and rites but an ennobling and enduring monument to the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth --principles which were expounded so im- pressively by the Grand Master in the course of his address. It was fascinating to dwell for a brief moment upon the constructive skill of the Babylonian and Egyptian; reminiscent of one's early teachings to hark back to the days of King Solomon's temple; inspiration- al to hear the Grand Master's testimony to the universality of Masonic principles. The new Temple will be a fitting emblem of a beautiful and progressive system of morality which has come down to us piece by piece, word by word, token by token, through the ages. It is a project which hon- . ors not only the craft but the city, further- ing the lofty aims of the one and pointing the other to a higher plane of life and ser- vice. Such a building memorializes the honored traditions of a noble order, adds lustre to the fame of the designer, glorifies the work of the builder, enriches its environ- ment, and--greatest of all--offers tribute to the Great Architect of the Universe, by Whom all things were made. It is another milestone in the onward march of an en- lightened and progressive city. WHENCE THE "FLAPPER"? Isn't it about time to leave off finding fault with the young thing known as the flapper and address ourselves to more seri- ous reflections on what it is that makes this type of girl as prevalent as she is thought to be? The flapper is as much the logical product of her home surroundings as any more sen- sible boy or girl is. And when you blame the flapper for whatever shortcomings are ascribed to her, it is necessary, in -telling the whole story, to trace her back to the conditions under which she grew up. In whatever she shows a laxity or a 8i- vergence from standards set for the non- ° flapper type of girl, it will in all probability be found that this young lady was quite as much sinned against as she is sinning. In a home in which flapperish ideals and ways cannot prevail, it would be a difficult thing indeed for any child to grow up to become what many of us believe the flappet to be. The so-called emptiness of her head no doubt indicates that whatever is necessary for the mental and meral growth of the child was somehow lacking in the flapper's home life.

The absorption of a State of some 400 square miles and 55, 000 inhabitants by another with 113,000 square miles and 19,000,- 000 inhabitants (Prussia contains roughly, two-thirds of the area ana population of Germany) is chiefly significant as a step toward the simplification of the German fed- eral system, which is one of the greater problems of the day. Waldeck became a county of tne Holy Roman Empire in 1349, a principality in 1719, entered tne Confederation of the Rhine in 1807 and the German Confederation in 1815. The dynasty, which had reigned in Waldeck for nearly ¥ centuries, was overthrown in No- vember, 1918, THUNDER AND LIGHTNINU (Walkerton Herald Times) Mrs. Woodman, of Walkerton, was so excelling herself as an elo- cutionist in a tragedy that she had the crowd standing on their toes and as nervous as a colored ceme- tery watchman at midnight. As she reached the climax where Gab- riel was about to blow his trumpet and count up the lost, there was a terrific clap of thunder and a flash of lightning that threw the multi- tude into a panic and made them wish they had used their talents to better advantage and had done more good before the big investiga- tion opened. Even the elocution- ist stopped in mid-volley, thinking that the globe had blown up.

Ni sr Eft the personal touch, and personal applications are more and more be- ing made to school boards. In some respects this is a good pre- cedent, as trustees can then judge the teachers for themselves, and not take a chance on hiring a teacher with whom they would probably not be satisfied, through the "sight unseen' method. Then, too, the teacher knows the kina of school she is applying for and the sort of community in which it is situated. DEATH BY ACCIDENT (Isamilton Herald) The health news bulletin issued by the United States Public Health Service makes the appalling state- ment that more than 80,000 people are killed and over 2,000,000 seri- ously Injured by accidents every year In the republic. Of these, 28,000 are killed by railways, mo- tor cars, street cars, etc., over 10, 000 by falls, more than 6,000 each by burns and drowning and more than 27,000 by other accidental! causes. The object in calling at- tention to this impressive loss of lite, greater than that in ordinary war, is to arouse Interest in first Now, I'm tellin' ye now, that I don't get no particular thrill when ridin' on a street car. Went to the city the other day, and blwoed if I didn't spend a whole fare jus' to try a ride or two. Bumpin and creaking alon, they sound like a threshing machine that's become by some boulder in the cog-wheels. Then what's the use havin' street cars ef you can't like your ride. If you can't get on a street car and ride around until you come yo where you got on again, without payin' extra fair, and without bein' bumped to death, then I'm fer ban- nin' the street cars. You gotta pay when you get in em nowadays so that if any accident happens, then they got your money. I tell you it isn't reasonabe. Not the leas'est bit. Some of them even go at ten miles an hour which is far faster than my old Nellie can step and fit ought to be against the law," But the law don't mind, so why shud I care. But I be boin' up to the city again soon, and might jus' take another ride to convince myselt that they still are bumpy. LJ . Ld As ever, By Renrut. StoBIEFORLONG 8G Jo ena, S. F.

THOSE TRAIN WHISTLES (St. Catharines Standard) The Niagara Falls Review urges the City Council there to pass a by law prohibiting whistling ana the ringing of bells on engines pass- ing through Niagara Falls. The Review says: "Such noises have become a nuisance, and particularly in sum- mer time with open windows, con- stitute a nuisance which should long ago have been put under a ban. Not a dissenting voice is to be heard against such a by-law-- No hardship would be worked on anyone, for all motorists should see for themselves whether the tracks are clear or not." The Stsatford Beacon-Herald de- clares that not less but more noise is' needed at level crossings, not only at Niagara Falls, but through- out the entire province, and there is much force in the contention. If a motorist were hit at a level crossing and it were shown that the engine crew neither whistled nor rang the bell, there would be a case for damages right there. But outside of that, motorists them- selves demand what protection there is from whistling and bell ringing by an engine crew.
