Successful and prosperous farmers of today did mot reach that state by holding such be- liefs. That there are disadvantages to the operations of the high school area plan is most true. That students are kept after sefiool and thus miss the bus and Ta to hitch-hike their way home aceful. But it'is not an indication the failure of the over-all plan. It is merely evi- dence of an administrative blun- der. Other forms of discipline which will not conflict with the bus timetable should be adopted. The fear that friendships, will not be made around home is non- sense. The neighbor children of the same age will go to the same school--the same friendships will result as if they all went to an- other school. It is a fallacious argument, and should be disre- garded. Fear that a larger centre will make children discontented with their own surroundings is also nonsense. If this were true, no students who attended the Uni- vrsity of Toronto would ever re- turn to their home towns or other small towns. What finally brings us back to our own locality is the way we are treated, the way. of life we will find around us, and the fact that all of us settle where we will be happy. The long day which students have been enduring is again an administrative problem. With enough busses, whose routes are laid out intelligently, no child need take any longer to get from his home to school than do stud- ents in Toronto. It is easy for a group to argue from a premise, building up their points to make the premise look sound--but in this case we feel their premise is most unsound, and does not put the welfare of the children first. A word should be said for Dep- uty-reeve Hall and the members of township and county councils, who entered into the agreement: which set up the Oakville-Trafal- gar high school area. Mr. Hall had in mind only the providing of better education for the youth of he He saw the breadth COLLEGE GIRL d porary position for July and Au- gust; knowledge of typing. Phone 992- 25-p-34 Better Education (continued from page 1) lishment of the high school area, will be one of the finest in On- tario. Occupational' subjects of great value to rural and urban young people alike will be taught. Also, there will be advantages provided for liberal education through gymnasium, assembly hall and other features. It would be a tragedy if these plans had to be abandoned. We hope that the Department of Education, who will have the final decision, will not be hasty in accepting the pro- tests of the group who wish to disassociate themselves from the rea--if, and when, (these protests a them. To the protesting residents we would suggest that they, give care- ful consideration to the advant- ages they will forego, and think in terms of their children's fu- tures. We were astonished to hear a member of the deputation who appeared before township council say in closing that he considered education of farm children a mis- take, because educated children would not remain on the farm. Evidently he advocated the main- tenance of ignorance in order that children be interested in farming. Many will feel such a statement revealed a lack of understanding. on his part. When he coupled with this statement the opinion that students of the Ontario Agri- cultural College were failures as nd possibilities of the plan, after arefully study with the fact-find- ing committee of county council. He and his associates, realizing the plan was of benefit to the people who elected them, acted accordingly. It would be very unwise on their part if they now permit some 100 voters to influ- nce their judgment concerning a lan which will benefit so many nore. It should also be remembered that existing legislation surround- ing the area plan, as presently set out, would effectively block this attempt on the part of northern residents to have the stipulated rea changed this year. Town- ship council must appeal to coun- council to approve any. hange, and county council, in urn, must make representation 0 the Department of Education set aside orders-in-council which have designated the Oak- ville-Trafalgar high school area boundaries. This procedure would consume many months, Such be- ing the case, would it not be a sensible move if dissenting resi- ents of the northern sector were allow the area plan a longer pportunity to prove or disprove itself, at the same time putting forth every possible effort to more fully and open-mindedly understand the many facets of the scheme? During this same per- iod the administrators of the area must eradicate any present disadvantages, and devote the major .part of their time: to the elimination of possible additional points of friction before they arise. = ds to o] fame it seems ry to discuss the matter. The improve- ment of animal breeds, acre yields and general productivity Which have resulted from the ap- plication of the scientific and edu- cated farming as taught at O.A. are too well known, even to non-farmers, to require elabora- tion here. But as a way of think- ing, which may be held by many who signed the petition, it reveal- ed a situation which should be alarming to all. It is our opinion that if sons of farmers refuse to remain on the farms after taking the advanced husbandry course to be provided at Oakville-Trafalgar high school the fault must lie with a lack of understanding and tolerance on the part of the parents for the knowledge gained. No son--eith- er a farmers or a manufacturer's --will work with a father whose mind is made up that what was "Good enough for his father, and WA FOR OPENING DAY MEL'S SODA BAR AND COFFEE SHOP Cor.
