tftw u tcp jchcct dr wilder penfield internationally known scientist had some solid words to say to the ontario education associ ation conference in toronto recently considering some of the utterances coming from pseudoscientific investi gations of late his observations are al most heretical education he told delegates begins at home it should continue there after the last diploma is won n6t all people can or should go to university he said many who will achieve success even brilliant leader ship in the field of technology might have been failures in university many who will succeed in higher education would have failed miserably had they entered the world of technology high school graduation and univer sity degrees are proof of educational exercise but not that a person is well educated degrees said the worldre nowned expert guarantee no valid cul ture of the mind intelligent conversation wlrh read ing in the home meeting people travel with companions of wit and wisdom can produce a high degree of intelli gence and intellectual superiority with little or no schooling the crisis in education today he told delegates is that a considerable portion of university graduates go into adult life with no thought of continu ing education their attitude is i know it all now why botherl f he scored narrow specialization which unmodified by other interest shuts a person away from friends and family with a shallow culture science has changed the world we live in its time man began to use scientific methods to control his own civilization he told delegates the place to begin is

week 1 traded my car for a new one this psychological crisis comes to all of us every two or three years it bears looking at as a manifestation of the tre- endous pressures we have to cope with and our grandfathers didnt what a snap they had they went to a reputable horse dealer and bought a horse no sweat they didnt even have to make the agonizing decision of whe ther to buy a brand new one or a late- model used there was no such thing as a new horse whats more they enjoyed it there was some goodnatured dickering which usually ended with both parties thinking they had got the better of the deal grampa chuckled as he drove his lively gelding home thinking of how much tradein allowance hed receive for old mm the mare who hadnt much mileage left in her and the dealer chuckled as he thought of the gelding steadily going blind and the fact that the preacher who knew nothing about horses was looking for a quiet mare like old min my point is tha it was not the wrenching exhausting thing that a mod ern car deal is the average layman then knew whether a horse was sound he took a look at the teeth felt the beast here and there hitched it up for a trial spin and made his deal there was only so much that could be wrong with a horse he could be blind or spavined or windbroken but he didnt rust there was no chance of his brakes grabbing his transmission was automatically automatic and he didnt cost 1500 a year for life and thats one of the reasons i buy a car cractly the way grampa used to buy a horse i look at its teeth that is i lift the hood to make sure theres a mo tor and open the trunk to make sure theres a spare i dont feel the beast here and there but i kick the tires and give the doors a good slam or two i take it for a little trial spin and if nothing falls off and the color suits my wife i deal there are different tvoes of car buy ers of course theres the kid who makes 60 a week he walks up to the red con vertible with 80 yards of chrome buck et seats and dazzling wheel discs points to it and savs gimme dat one cheerfully he signs the indenture papers which will enslave him for four vears and departs ths lot with a squeal of tires where else can he find power nnd sex appeal for a lousv 80 a raonth and theres the born horsetrader who deal- for the sheer jov of it he spends most of his spare time in car dealers lots badgering the salesmen disparaging the merchandise and quot ing the terrific deal that honest john down the street has offered him he sel dom has a car more than six months and i deluded into thinking that his lot is improving with every trade but for the average layman today buying a car is an excruciating ordeal he suspects the dealer he fears ridicule 1 from his friends all of whom have made excellent deals lately he dreads the in terview with the bank manager he trails from one car lot to another trying to find a buick for the price of a volkswa gen and the upholstery must match all his wifes clothes not me not no more lifes too shor yesterday i bought in- 20 minutes let mj wife drive it home oh there were one or two little things it stalled and we discovered the battery cable was loose the light in the ceiling wouldnt go out and i had to phone the dealer to find where the switch was one of the doors wont close and there was a de lightful bit of family excitement when my wife pushed the windowwasher but ton it stuck and soapy water gushed over the windshield for five minutes with more suds than a detergent com mercial but itll all work out three years fom now itll be just another rust- bucket almost paid for and
