page two the acton free press acton ontario thursday pebhuakv 2 i8sz not one week only tho weok of march 2nd to 9th will bo known as education week thoro seems little need this yoar to call particular attention to educational mailers in tho brownec since ovory newspaper 15 carryino arliclos and discusslbns regarding the schools tho teachers tho courses of study the report cards and many other things this interest sooms a splendid indication that tho public as a whole havo a realization that education is every bodys business perhaps one of tho reasons for such wide spread public concern may be found in taxes or products or anything that paronts and ratepayers find of their own concern education has a right to recoivo a broader consideration than from a personal point of view it seems to us that the present interest and criticism has some founda tion and the consideration needs to be from with in as well as witnout educational circles there are things which are even above that which is loomed from the prescribed course of study how is our educational program fitting into a way of life thot will make for better cana dians is our program helpful to the thousands of now immigrants who fare settling in our land are the examples and aims something which will- command their respect is education meeting tho needs of the generation these are some of the questions we might consider during education weok t during our many years of association with school boards we have accumulated quite a file of correspondence one letter from a high rank ing official of the department of education re ceived some time ago has always bothered us we quote the sentence of the letter referred to as you are aware it is with the field of instruc tion that this department is concerned and with that field only we considered that field too narrow to make good canadians and perhaps part of the problems of today can be traced back to this attitude education is everybodys business not next weeks alone but every week in the year its power for good is not in fine buildings books and courses of study ethics good example and incentive are of importance also education be longs in the home on the street and in public as well as in the schools the lack of interest shown by canadians was exaggerated and the inevitable suggestion that canada should take over the usa was presont- od tho royal commission howover suggested that timothy p sheehans proposal bo r0octod it is with misgivings we realize that senator sheehan could seriously mako tho suggestion that canada bo annoxed in payment for war debts mr sheehan is not ust an ordinary lay man either he is entrusted with a share in the governmonl of the united states and yet he does not know the capital of canada his country s most important neighbour it is with a thankful realization that we note all americans are not too poorly educated in the facts of canada for the general enlightenment we quote from an encyclopedia the dominion of canada is a uniop of fede ral slates called provinces each of which has authority to legislate upon its own affairs tho federal or dominion government holds power to legislate on all matters pertaining to the country as a whole powers not specifically delegated to the provinces are reserved to the dominion gov ernment the government is based on the british north america act of 1867 and has three de partments executive legislative and udicial americans and indeed a great many cana dians are not fully aware of the history and de velopment of canada as a nation it might be well for us all to brush up on our canadian his tory and be able to meet any suggestions of the brand that come from people like senator timo thy p sheehani 1rriaatiom rorwilo oats future selects the great some place during our weekend reading we noted an article deploring the leadership avail able today and the fact that among canadians there are no comparable leaders as in other days as we look back it seems to us 1hat we never recognize our leaders in the generation in which we live if we were to attempt to name those whom we considered good leaders today it would be said we were biased and many good arguments and points of weakness would be given to refute the selection when men or women die the good they did remains and so often the frailities and weaknes ses are fortunately forgotten it is from this pom of vantage that we raise these individuals to the place of the great it would seem that our great must come from the past and that the great leaders of tins day and generation will be chosen and revered by a generation or two hence ust as we ot the present day are selecting our ex omples of the great best wishes north halton is still in the throes of indeci sion regarding high school matters and after see ing several years of fruitless effort no one is able to predict accurately what the future shall be records show there have been proposals for one school for the whole district there has been suggestion and motion for two schools and also similar consideration of three schools with every proposal exhausted there seems nothing to do now but to start back again over the same route that has been covered and is well worn the fact remains that no one can accurately forecast the future there is no doubt that the vears will find a weakness in whatever course is chosen they will find a weakness too in the present delay and confusion that has character ized the past few years one encouraging pros pect is that the building plans will have one whole night for attention and perhaps get the consideration they deserve there is no doubt that delay of a definite building program has been costly and that present arrangements are neither advantageous to pupils or economically sound for the ratepayers this year taxpayers of the area yv again be called upon for a larger levy and there is no prospect for a lowering of costs under the present set up we hesitate to say more than to offer our best wishes for a prompt settlement of policy that is fair to all we don t hesitate to express the opinion that the ad ministrahon by one board over three schools is rot in the best interests of the taxpayers north e ast west s outh a timely production the cbc often comes tn for criticism but we would like to compliment them on their sunday stage 52 presentation the production was a satire on the annexation of canada by the united states a result of the suggestion by tim othy p sheehan of the u s a written by len peterson the play seemed a fine example of satire from start to finish it isn t customary for us to establish editorial opinions on radio programs but the subect and presenta tion we feel deserve comment in the play a royal commission which con sisted of mr big long stretch mcgat uk luksak as an eskimo and presided over by judge too- good was set up to investigate the suggested annexation highways in towns if through highways are to live up to their name they should avoid cities and towns like the plague advises the financial post where they have not almost invariably they become busi ness streets cluttered with local traffic signal tights parking and pedestrians and a pain to both the man who wishes to drive 200 miles and the one who is going two blocks today there are literally hundreds of miles of provincial highway in central canada where the official speed limit is 30 miles or less and it is impossible to average more than half of that to get relief the only remedy is tremendous ly costly separation of local and through traffic by raising or sinking the highway and walling it off ilesdhnrnr perhaps a kood wi to pick up a nnlttrine of the mmn ittms or news from nil over the county is to hive a look at the heidhnes of
