HE PORT PERRY Mr. Right, and Mr. Wrong Mr. Right and Mr. Wrong are well known characters. Are they both worthy examples for your children and mine to imitate? After presentipg tne following sketchy picture, perhaps our children will answer that question for us. We'll introduce Mr. Wrong first, and will close with the brighter side of the picture. Mr. Wrong lives on a small farm, in an unpainted, disreputable house. ~All his buildings are ugly, his fences neglected; his live stock poor, and his children untrained. The farm is poor- ly managed, the soil has lost its fer- tility, there is little farm machinery, weeds line the roadside and fence- rows, the orchard is unsprayed, and black-knot has killed the cherry trees. Everything is slipshod. Signs of waste are everywhere. ~ Mr. Wrong works half-heartedly, but not intelligently. In winter he sells timber from his own woodlot or "hires out" with profes- gional lumbermen. Both his farm and his woodlot decrease in value each year. Mrs. Wrong has lost the little am- bition she once had. She knows com- paratively about foods, cooking, cloth- ing, economy, art. She reads neither Instead, spare cash has gone into trashy phonograph records; and, at present, spare mom- ents are given to even more. trashy radio programs. She yells at the ._ children, teaches them self control by keeping 'everything under 'lock and key, and considers table manners un- necessary. "The children receive no inspiration or encouragement. .

PEER ER NN -- Phone 16 have never experienced the satisfac- tion of a piece of work well done, On occasional summer week-ends, the whole family goes on a short motor trip, destroying lilac and apple blos- soms, wild flowers, and song birds. They leave their picnic lunch site littefed with waste paper and tin cans; possibly leave, their camp fire burning; kill dogs, sheep and poultry on the way home, and boast about how they annoyed a mild-mannered farmer on whose property they had trespassed. When not on motor trips, the Wrong family visited neighbours--whom they bored unbearably--because they had not learned how to entertain them- selves. They were intolerant towards progressive citizens, refused to ald[* the hospital--which they had helped to make. necessary--and, in general, were opposed tq schools and to all or- ganizations for community bétter- ment. Mr. Right also lived on a small farm. He proved that a few acres properly worked not only gave a fam- ily a comfortable living but provided ideal surroundings for raising a healthy, happy family. He was a well-informed man, who could discuss intelligently agriculture, politics, his- tory, trade, economics, banking and citizenship. 'His spare dollars had provided a modest library; and Mrs. Right had helpful magazines on child welfare and household economics. Both Mr. and Mrs, Right were members of a School Improvement Club. They studied education in relation fo mad- ern life; and encouraged the teachers in worthwhile educational experi- ments, The Right homestead, though hex- good taste. The children absorbed culture from soll sorvoundings, and, through their school club program, ing their class room and school grounds. The School Improvement Club, un- der Mr. Right's leadership, expanded its efforts to include the community. Two constructive undertakings were (a) the preservation and improvement of roadside beauty and (b) require- ment of building permits in rural dis- tricty. The latter was directed against the prevailing' custom of building. so- called = "hot-dog" stands wherever some get-rich:quick person, with no feeling for beauty, decided to locate; but it would also prevent 'certain un- suitable types of architecture within the villages themselves, . Were the public schools at least part ly responsible for Mr. Wrong's bad citizenship and for Mr. Right's valu- able community contributions? And will the present-day schools be able to save Mr. Wrong's children, in spite of the handicaps they suffer? It is at least a worthy challenge. "They that are whole need not a physician". Mr. Right's family scarcely needs a school. They will probably give more than they get. Without the proper kind of teaching, however, - Mr. Wrong's type of citizenhsip will be multiplied; and we'll all be the poorer for it. Our first duty is to teach what is needed to those who need it. "Other things will be added thereto".
