four out of a hundred ever line russia was first to gtt man made satellite into orbit in our universe there has been breastbeating in the west over the failure of our society to educate and put to full use its best talents in canada a frequent selfcriticism on this ubect has been that the state simply has not provided enough aid at the university level but statistics on schooling m canada indicate that if not enough canadians are going to collegethe fault is less at the top of he edu cation ladder than several steps below and the cause is not lack of opportunity but some other lack in our young people and their parents a report by the dominion bureau of statistics states that in the school year 1957 58 the total enrolment m publiclycontrolled schools in canada was 3474642 in that year enrolment in grade nine first year of high school was ust half209926 and enrolment in grade 13 the final grade of high school and college entrance year was only 14 160 in other words for every 100 children starting out m the public school system only four were staying through to the finish the cause of this remarkably poor re cord is not lack of opportunity the schools end teachers are there in some small num btr of cases financial problems may require a family to put a school aga child to work lihough when the family allowance schema wai introduced 15 years ago one of its staled purposes was to provide equal op portunlty lo canadian children j an article in the labour gaiette a few months back made this comment on the sub ect a study carried out some years ago by the canadian research committee on practical education shows clearly lhat econo mic necessity is not the only or even the mam reason for which young people leave school although it is a reason given more often by girls than boys lack of interest or rather lack of seeing any purpose in further education is perhaps more compelling early marriage is often a cause of girls terminating iheir studies poor marks a desire for a change and lack of en couragement at home are also known fac tors wasted talents more tax money spent on university aid well the question seems to be less how we can get more of our young people through university than how we can get more of them through high school so they can even consider entering college the conversion to teachers things seem to be changing in the pro fessions with many from industry making their way into teaching readers of sugar and spice on this page will know that bill smiley editor of the wiartdn echo is giving up newspaper work to go into teaching we know one editor who won t be mak mg the change of course it used to be school teachers who were becoming editors the dutton advance points out some of the reasons perhaps why teachers left the profession in the eighties in this article borrowed from that publication and titled things could be worse our friends in the teaching profession who feel they have a rough time of it today should at least be thankful they were not in the business away back around 1872 at jhat time according to galaxy science fie ition the following rules were laid down for those instructing in the three rs 1 teachers each day will fill lamps clean chimneys and trim wicks t 2 each teacher will bring a oucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the days 3 make your pehs carefully you may whittle nibs to the individual tastes of the pupils 4 men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes or two evenings per week if they attend church regularly 5 after ten hours in school the teacher should spend the remaining time reading the bible or other good books 6 women teachers who marry or engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed 7 each teacher should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years so that he will not become a burden on society 8 any teacher who smokes uses liquor in any form frequents pool or public halls or gets shaved in a barbershop will give good reason to suspect his worthy intentions integrity and honesty 9 the teacher who performs his labors faithfully and without fault for five years will be given an increase of 25c per week in his pay provided the board of education mr speaker it was a sign of health in the canadian political system that the speaker of the house of commons roland michener could icall the prime minister to order last week and require him to retract an unparhamen tary statement mr speaker is supposed to jbe an impartial referee m the commons de bates end it s plain that mr michener per forms this function without fear or favor nevertheless it s true that under the canadian system the post of speaker just like apost in the cabinet is the gift of the prime minister after each dominion elec tion btssw speaker is chosen from the ma onty party and it s the prime minister who does the choosing the m p so honored may be ambitious in succeeding parliaments to hold ministerial rank consequently he requires unusual toughness of character to resist the tempta tion to favor the party in power and the pm in particular the solution of this problem os devised at westminster is to keep the speaker per manently on the ob through changes of government until he is ready to retire at age 70 or thereabouts and then to give him a pension canada should adopt this plan buttressing the speaker s independence and the new dispensation might well start with mr michener if he can be persuaded to make the speakership a lifetime career incidentally the position of the speaker in canada s table of precedence should be advanced as the first commoner he speaks for the elected assembly to heads of governments in britain he comes immedi ately after princes of the blood and the highest officers of state and church here he follows ambassadors cabinet ministers for mer cabinet ministers and lieutenant gov ernors this isn t ust a trivial matter of who sits where at ottawa dinner parties the sovereignty of the commons should be re fleeted in the ranking of its spokesman financial post follow the rules hundreds of canadians die each year jbecause they neglect simple rules of water safety half of these drownings occur dur ling june july and august and many drown gngs are caused through boating mishaps j follow these rules for safe boating j 1 do not overload your boat leave plenty of freeboard 2 if weather is threatening stay close jo shore 3 beware of canoes fishing from gcraftit ha ardous keep approved lifepreservers in your boat nonswimmers should wear these at all times 5 do not use your boat with a motor of excess power 6 keep your speed down speeding m motor boats can be ust as dangevous as in cars 7 stay away from areas where people are swimming 8 do not
