georgetown herald jj v rubnsviajo djt tvewie najwspajpejvs urimejv 22 main street south georgetown ontario page 4 thursday march 27th 1969 editorial comment who will gain separate education for ffench-canad- ian residents of ontario is one of the most foolish ideas being proposed today and dne which if implemented could react uo- favourably on the children of those vybo are jressing the hardest for if therecan beno quarrer with retention gf ones native tongue in arty environment rjor ones culture or heritage terms which we hear so much about today this has been successfully done by generations of europeans in canada -ukrainians- in the west germans in the kitchener area frenchcanadians in wind sor to name some of the major ones in no case have english canadians resented this nor should they on the contrary- it places young people raised in a twolanguage at- rposphere in a favoured position in after life and this is particularly true for a per son who is bilingual in english and french tfiere are few places in the world where dne cant get along speaking these two ma jor languages and in our own canada one ho is bilingual has a better choice of job why then do some canadian of french ancestry want to stubboinly cling to one language when the history of their native province shows how important it is to be fluent in english as well to educate a young person only n a tribute too late it is only rarety that a good citizen is recognized when he is alive to enoy if and alex maclaren was no exception many times we have thought that there should be some public funcfidn for slich a man when he reached his senior ears but it was one of those things jihich tekes an organizer and like most other people we waited for somene else to do ij 1 not that mr maclaren was a man who t sbught public approval his oy was in a jpb well done and there were many in earlier years he was instrumental ill aiding armenian war orphans find a new life in canada when he was connected with a boys school in georgetown now the edarvale community centre in later life rte was connected with services for europ ean emigrees assisting them in locating in canada in georgetown there were few public services which his life did not touch he served the town as a councillor and the county as georgetowns reeve at an age vyhen most men are ready to retire and en- french in his ermntay sdhoo years puts hirri at a tremendous dtsadwanjage when he enters secondary sdsoos to carry this through to the conclusion wfoida sww peo ple want a complete frercdh bijh school too makes it doubly diffurulj for hin to choose a career afterwards the same- of coucse fooms true for residents of quebec province whose mother tongue is english and who do no jake ad vantage of the opportujrtiry there to be come proficient in two lamjusges- from an economic standpoint alone to visualize a double education system in a province which is already heading to bankruptcy by not tatfejrirag esfcucajional ex periments to ability to pay could push us into a dollar disaster even sooner but equally importac us the future of our young ontario resiritortss of french de- scene who should hawe firte same opportun ity as those with other ethnic backgrounds we suggest then that shose families which want their crtifcfren ao be bilingual let them take their educamsn in english and retain french
