2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mendey, March 29, 1965 NEED MORE, BETTER AND EARLIER INSTRUCTION © Bilingual Teaching System Wr might be, should be introduced) By JOHN LeBLANC TORONTO (CP)--More, bet- ter and earlier bilingual teach- ing was urged today on the royal commission on_ bilingual- ism and biculturalism. Briefs from education bodies at Grade 2. Educational stand- ards for teachers should be raised, Exchange programs be- tween Quebec and Ontario schools should be encouraged. Sabbatical fellowships should be blished to allow professors were presented as the commis- sion opened a three-day series of public meetings here. "Until the teaching end of French... is changed to make French a living experience in our schools, there is faint hope of bilingualism progressing in English-speaking Canada," the University of Windsor said in a section of its brief prepared by its history department. It said there should be a thor- ough change in the educational system's approach to teaching of languages. In much of Can- ada children were introduced to French, for instance, much too late for any linguistic compe- tency. It was possible most French teachers did not speak French. MUST BE CHANGED "This archaic method of lan- guage training must be changed, not only to aid Canadian bilin- gualism but to put Canada abreast of linguistic teaching in Europe -- where our backward methods are subject of amaze- ment... ne to spend a year at French or English universities. In a personal brief, Dr. H. I. Kinsey of Toronto said bi- lingualism should be on a vol- untary basis but deplored even the use of the word bicultural- ism. Quebecois of their culture... (biculturalism) divides us stead of uniting us," he said. URGES EXCHANGES The Ontario School Trustees' and Ratepayers' Association, in its brief, 'called for 'an cex- panded exchange program be- tween students in Quebec and other provinces. Major industries with branches in Quebec and the Ca- nadian Manufacturers' 'Associa- tion could help the students ob- tain summer jobs. The Canadian Slovak League warned that no attempt should be made to keep immigrants from speaking their own lan- g hi bers.

He was 68. His two sons, Sterling and John, and the hospital staff were at his side when the end came.

The hospital. is 800 miles north of Rangoon and only five miles from the border with China. In the last two years, Dr. Seagrave had fought to keep his non-sectarian hospital operating despite restrictions of the Bur- mese government, which is striving toward nationalization of its resources. USED PRIVATE FUNDS But with private contributions from Burmese and Americans and with income from his books such as Burma Surgeon and My Hospital in the Hills he fought to keep his 250-bed hos- pital going. Dr. Seagrave was born in Burma March 18, 1897, the son of Baptist missionaries. When he was 12, the family returned to the United States. He graduated from Johns Hop- kins with a medical degree in| 1921 and the next year with his) wife, the former Marion G.} Morse, returned to Burma. | Dr. Gordon Seagrave, famed Burma surgeon, died today at his Namhkam hos- pital in Burma.

She worked with her husband| Princess, 67 Is Mourned LONDON (CP) -- Britons to- day mourned the Princess Royal, the Queen's aunt, who died of a heart attack Sunday and hundreds criticized the BBC for bad taste in putting on a show about her brother a few hours after the death of the "shy princess" at the age ot 67. The Princess Royal--the title reserved for the eldest daugh- ter of the sovereign--was born Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary, the only daughter of the late King George V and Queen Mary. The Princess Royal, known as Princess Mary until her father bestowed the title in 1932, had strong ties with Canada and had visited the country several times. If the Queen follows prece- dent, 14-year-old Princess Anne, her daughter, may soon be named Princess Royal. Hundreds protested the BBC's late night show satirizing cur- rent news events because it screened a skit on the Duke of Windsor Sunday night. Calls from angry viewers at one time blocked the BBC tele- vision centre's switchboard. Lord Normanbrooke, chair- man of the BBC Board of Gov- ernors, called the skit "most un- fortunate." A BBC spokesman said the program was carefully considered in view of the Prin- cess Royal's death. He added: 'We would deplore any sug- gestion that it was unsympathe- tic to the Royal Family or lacked due respect." heart attack while walking in the grounds of her Yorkshire estate near Leeds with some of her grandchildren. The Queen, who received the news "with great sorrow,". or- dered court mourning until mid- night Saturday. Flags were flown at half staff today, Born April 25, 1897, she mar- ried the sixth Earl of Harewood in 1922. He died in 1947, WORKED FOR. CHARITY The princess devoted her life to charity and social service. The Red Cross and the. Girl Guides were among her favor ites, and she was a past pres ident of the Guides. During the Second World War she often entertained as guests groups of Canadian and other| overseas military men stationed here. She was awarded honor- ary degrees by McGill and La- val universities: in 1955 and more recently by the Univer- sity of Newfoundland. She was colonel-in-chief of the Roya! Ca- nadian Corps of Signals, the Ca- nadian Scottish regiment, the Royal Regiment, of Canada and the Royal Newfoundland Regi- ment.
