the world highest that in spite of pollution and A rising en me rate our cities are attractive and relatively safe for the white majority hey are a danger and frustration to most of the Indians who gravitate to them In ever increasing numbers who are lost both spiritually and materially in the midst of plenty and in a land their ancestors once claimed as their own To suggest that there are easy solutions to Indian problems would be folly their own best leadership Is as baffled as the nonIndian agencies which try to help but somehow they must be drawn Into the Canadian community as worthy participants in its life worthy In their own eyes became they are persons of worth Welfare and liquor have had their demoralizing effects but they are more the result of the Indians peripheral status than its cause To some Indian people he idea of New look at separatism There were Canadians who already regretted Mayor Drapeau persuasive ability in getting the Olympic Games for Montreal in 1976 Now there are many more who look upon his suc cessful with The dreadful events in Munich have the danger and the necessity of almost superhuman efforts to protect nationals The recent history of Quebec respect for law and order gives no guarantee that the contestants can be protected In addition the openly avowed intention of the Separatists to use the Olympics in Canada in 1976 to further their own ends is already a threat Mayor record of personal financing as well as the financial fiasco of Expo that the rest of Canada had to pay for gives no reason to expect anything better of the Olympic Games With his usual optimistic outlook Mr Drapeau has said that the games would cost no more than million although the cost of the Munich games has been estimated at billion Now the Quebec Government has admitted that the cost will be at least million However Mayor Drapeau is Away out of balance problem in Canada is far more than most of us realize Lack of work is a serious situation at any time and the consequent lack of income usually spells economic disaster for any nation thus afflicted The plain facts are however that there is not a shortage of work in Canada at present Employers all over the land are screaming about the dire shortage of good help despite the fact There are teachers and there are teachers Most of us in the rank and file face from ISO to students every school day We groan about the size of our classes sigh over the impossibility of giving personal attention to each student and grumble continually about the amount of marking of papers that we have to do at home And then of course there are the aristo crats among teachers These are the people with small classes and not many of them who teach in an easy atmosphere of freedom We have one of each type in our family this fall belongs to the great mass of slaves in the profession reacting like mice to bells subject to the whims of administration and bent almost double under a continual deluge of paper work per cent of which has nothing to do with the learning situation My wife has joined the tiny aristocracy Yep she a teach She has not got a job as we ordinary teachers put it She has accepted a position It fair makes my heart bleed I come home about four head straight for the refrigerator hurl myself Into a chair and mutter incantations such as Oh boy Oh boy There must be some other way of making a living She is sitting there cool unsullied ready to regale me with a detailed account of her day Some day She starts as 11 un and goes nonstop for thirtyfive minutes She one class There are five students in it Private school No bells No hall supervision No cafeteria supervision No bus duty No teams to coach If she wants to take her out and sit under a tree or bring them to our bouse to listen to records no problem If I wanted to take a class out and sit under a tree I have to notify the Governor General or somebody a month ahead In tri plicate and then the principal would veto the whole thing because it might start trend Other classes would be distracted and jealous Other teachers might wait to do the same thing and the whole system would crumble overnight If she wants a cigarette or a cup of coffee that nearly 000 people arc drawing unemployment insurance Another vast horde are living off the rest of us while the government doles out money for makework projects only a portion of which are of any real value Where then does the discrepancy he Last week we offered an unemployed pressman from a week as a starting salary until his ability could be measured He said Bill Smileyf during her teaching day no problem She has it If I want a cigarette somewhere about the middle of teaching four straight periods and 120 students I have two alternatives I can lust go on wanting or I can sprint the halfblock to the men can making like a dysentery victim swallow two drags choke on them and make the return dash to confront the nest class redfaced and coughing Hardly worth it That all rather hard to take But what really rubs salt in the wound is the homework She comes home with five little sheets of paper and fusses over marking them as though she had just discovered something on a par with the Dead Sea Scrolls I come home with an armful of essays look at her skinny sheaf and in frustration hurl my eight pounds of paper into a corner They have to be puked up again but it worth it Another thing that gets me you think her miserable little band of five was the only group of students in the country She can spend twenty minutes a day on each of them telling me what Cordon say tad what Rick said and so on and bow she gently ted Ihem from the murky valleys into the sunbaaed mountains of beauty and truth She thinks she so dam smart that it infuriating For years I been the
