uppermost question in the average stu dents mind is what type of education is the better to prepare me to face the worjd upon graduation general or specialized a general education appears to be a near neces sity but on the other hand a apecialized education in some form is a necessity if one is to be able to advance rapidly in the workingworld however one must com promise in education as one must in so many other things general education is useful in any pursuit which the graduate may follow a general education such as may be absorbed in smalltown secondary schools also prepares the student for university but what of the student lacking funds to enter college aside from the few who cam scholarships it will take the student sev eral years to procure sufficient money for tuition and living expenses by working nt an ordinary job such 09 he may be able to obtain with his general education very few students possess sufficient enthusiasm to work long years to secure money to enable them to en ter university as a result these students must depend upon their general education as qualification in seeking a job thus the graduate is unsuited to become an apprentice in a precision industry simply because he lacks basic training he is at a loss when he attempts to become an apprenticed mechanic machinist wood worker or electrician therefore general education must be supplemented in part by specialized vocational training in secondary schools vocational and general education should proceed side by aide when the stu dent reaches secondary school he should be able to acquire training in some branch of skilled labour he should choose the branch which he likes best and in which he seems most apt by training in this way the graduate is suited to enter a skilled industry here he may quickly earn the money which he requires to enter university for which he has been groomed by his gen eral education s the conclusion is obvious vocational and gen eral education combined form the useful education 4 strikes in wartime by norah cleave at the present moment there are thousands of miners on the point of striking in the u s a and thousands more workers out at the aluminum plant in shawinigan falls in our country which we considered more or less immune to strikes in times of stress strikes certainly have produced results for the oppress- ed and perhaps have been the only means of bettering living conditions for the poor in times of peace when re see pictures and read of the lives of the welsh coal winers we certainly think strikes are reasonable how ever it seems to me in time of war conditions are dif- fent we marvel at the bravery of the men in our armed forces does the airman go on strike when or dered into combat when he knows that at any moment his plane may be sent screaming into the sea does the sailor hesitate to board his ship on order when he knows of the lurking submarine and the icy atlantic and so we might continue through the whole line of the armed forces these men are not heavily paid yet they unflinchingly do their duty the workers in industrial plants are unusually well paid and the strikes are often precipitated against the will of the majority of the work ers the c i o and men like john l lewis have made fortunes in the instigation of striken as we have aid before strikes have served their purposes but it eems there is no place for them in times of stress and vrar hitler might tine the strikers trains the wll tod shoot them but such are not our method nevertheless w wish more power to the hand of president roosevelt who says there mutt be no cessation of wotk or drastic steps will be taken the need for better education by mary dobsoa as education b essential in all parts of the world it should be taught with the purpose of aiding the student in after school life for example if all schools taught home econo mics commercial courses mechanics and wood craft it would enable the student to go out into the world on his own earlier in life in that way less time and money would be spent too much time is ipent in finding out why a body vibrates why some bodies make a sound end why some do not in ohcr words physics although it is a neressary subject should not be taught so extensively and some other subject more essential should be sub stituted latin although it helps your thinking powers is not needed as much ns a commercial course what good will latin do you in later years unless of course you are taking doctors or lawyers degie as latin is not a spoken language like french why learn it our educational system could be greatly im proved by incorporating the practical as well as the theoretical teaching men beside fighting men by margaret bradley the war correspondents at the battle fronts are telegraphing their daily reports to the everwaiting un informed globe while in accompaniment making vi vid their words ore the photographers the world re ceives their news great news historymaking news from one unerring source appreciated they must be while at ease in our homes we are being radioed momentous headlines or while at our theatres we thrill to actual warfare how often we have marvelled at our forces landing on european beaches how we have won with them their battles or celebrated with them their marches through italian cities received with great ova tions accompanying fighting men wherever they go equally sharing thnr dnn go the photographers photographing their battles making people at home re alize the realities of war and confirming the safety ot their men let us salute these great heroes to whom we con well attribute our thanks and deepest gratitude for were it not for tlum war could hove no meaning to personh distant from the field of battle reasons for education by joan main in this ever chiinring world the need of a good formal education ih being stressed more than ever the progress which is being made in the field of science is so varied that to keep up with the times we arc going to need the education which we are now receiving aside from the fact that a matriculation certificate is like a password admit linn you into the fields of higher learn ing and courses of higher learning it isnt much more than a certificate in order to meet these requirements we spend four or five years in high school learning a little of this and n little of that but our characters as fu ture citizens are being formed we learn to cooperate with others to work and play in congenial surroundings at this age we are like clay being moulded into a statue if our high school days are successful it will affect our whole life and the statue will likely be good education has a profound effect on young lives one of the things we are fighting for is the right of everyone to an educa tion according to his capabilities the right to lcam and later to use this knowledge to enable him to become a better citizen of canada for in the not too far distant future we will hove the privilege of helping to govern our country wisely should we use the privilege of education music never changes by lois nielsen in the countless ages of time music indeed plays an important role the events of our life are recorded in the style of music written by the composers when did music begin and why does it seem to change is a question asked by many music began when the world began nature then provided the music the birds sang the melody the rain tapped out the rhythm and the wind filled in the accompaniment which together made a perfect orchestra men copied this exquisite combina tion and interpreted the melodies of the birds into clas sical or jazz arrangements our new tastes are expressed by the variations on the beautiful themes of the never changing orchestra of nature as long as birds sing rain beats down on the earth and the wind whistles through the trees music will never change education in the present day by muriel mclellan education in the present doy is more essential than ever before with a world at war master minds ore necessary to brave the fight to discover new me thods and systems to trick and conquer the foe by studying the ancient history of worldrenowned heroes clever statesman and kings much is to he learned with great profit miibctns of people in the azure iinruli that e is a waste el time and money mhifilfiss unnecessary to fulfill the minor ambitions of rummfoua young people the lower grades or primary schools are ample but to satisfy the loftiar ambtbobs of wnhiwtj swvhvdsry school and even un are not su the education desired by and the ambitions of school ehodfen are greatly affected by the influence and ev couragexnent yielded by parents many of whom al though in excellent dreumstanees will not permit thea children an education for
