AnDIcOient Pledge that Made Athens Long ago ini Athens, boys, when they reached the age of 18, were taught a pledge. They said it each day, beiiev'ed in it and tried ta live by it. Fathers taught it ta their sons, who, when they grew Up, gave it in turn ta their own boys. Each helped to make the piedge true until Athens 1ýecame "Athens the Beautiful". THE PLEDGE: "We will neyer bring disgrace to this our city by any aèt of dishanesty or cowardice, nar ever desert our comrades. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city bath alone and with many. We will revere and obey the city laws and do aur best ta incite a like respect and reverence in others. We will strive unceasingly to quicken the public's sense of civic duty, that thus in ail these ways we may transmit this city, greater, better, and mare beautiful than it was trans- mitted ta us". Passing by ane of our schoals irn the mornings we aften hear the pupils at the opening periad singing "Gad Save The Queen" as an act af iayalty. Why nckt have the students of our high schools iearn the meaning -of the above pledge, and recite it each morning, as a means of instilling in them a spirit of courage and determination ta bear their full responsibility af citizenship as true Canadians? A brief but significant review of conditions in his own industry has been made by H. G. 'Hilton, president af the Steel Company of Canada. It is a sum- mary af canditians that has application far beyond his own field. This is a brie! run-down of points made by Mr. Hilton: Steel production in Canada in 1954 was 22 per cent below that of the previous year, a reflectian of the slowdown Ihat has affected nearly ail phases of the national ecanomy. Wages paid ta steelworkers in Europe are less than haif the wages of Canadian steelworkers, which places Canada at a disadvantage in the expart markets an whîch her prasperity is dependent. In Canadian industry fringe benefits have been s0 multiplîed as ta be a cansid- erable element in tIhe cost of production. In the first volume af his auto- biagraphy "A Mingled Chime" (Hutch- inson) Sir Thomas Beecham, the great conductor and turbulent genius of music, ï veg this accaunt of a contact with ocialismn which took place in London in 1900: "It was through my association with* an elderly harpmaker, George Morley, a mi~n of cansiderable culture wîth whom 1 piayed chess and billiards, that I began tô frequent the meetings of the Fabian Society, where lecturers would expound ta us the full gospel af -the new creed of Sacialismn. One evening there was an address an Shelley, and the speaker, while professing great admiration for his genius, deplored that the paet, as the son o! a Sussex squire, had been born ta the evil The problems of recruitment, training and retention of teachers remain acute. With school enrolment increasing much more rapidly than the general population, we must get mare than "aur ordinary share" o! high school and university graduates ta train for teachers. Moreover, it is not a simple problem of numbers because quality is equally important, if flot more important, than quantity. While the proportion o! teachers hoici- lng university degrees has increased 17% in the past five years, we still have ap- proximately 20% ýo! Canadian classrooms in which the teacher has flot a complete high school educatian and at least one Tt is rare enough in the House o! Commons ta find either Liberal or Con- servative support for a CCF motion. Stranger stili is the situation presented recently when seven Liberal, Il Con- servative and a handful of Social Credit M.P.'s voted in favar of a CCF member's bill ta make the checkoff of union dues compulsory in ail industries whase labor relations came under federal jurisdiction. There are at least two gooci reasons why Liberal, Conservative and Social Credit M.P.'s shoulci nat support such a bill. The first is that by voting for it tbey would in fact be favoring a measure wbich, if it became Iaw, xvould substan- tially boost the funds which the CCF party If you were looking for a blunt, aut- spoken woman, the last place in the world you'd expect ta fînd her wvould be behind a perfume counter in a swanky drug department.

Some o! aur major industries are simply not able ta meet the increased competition from fareign imports. Labor leaders who continue ta demand wage increases and further fringe benefits from Canadian industry are ignaring con- ditions and making demands that are economically unsaund. This is a recital of facts that can hardly be refuted. It was applied specif- icalIy ta the steel industry but it applies in general toalal Canadian industry. It does not mean that Canada has entered on, or is headed for, a depression. It does mea1n that industry - labor as much as management - must fight agalnst any increase in the cast of producing goods in Canada. enjayment o! unearned increment; for in the kingdom of heaven on earth that was at hand there would be no room for men of such breed. That evening on my return home I reviewed in my mind the many distinguished names in letters (going back no further than Chaucer) who, had they been born after the establishment of this arid Social system, would neyer have been allowed ta write at ail. Gathering ta- gether ail the Fabian Societya books, pamphlets, and leaflets, I huried them into the fire; and as I watched the pile burning away merrily I remembered how Voltaire had once said that while a phil- osopher had the right ta investigate every- thing once, there werè some things that only a fool would wish ta experience twice." ycar af professional training. This is a frightening situation. How can the promise of a great future for Canada be ful!illed if 20 per cent a! her young people are receiving their education in their most formative years from "teachers" who, themselves, have flot the basic education demanded by business and industry for most positions a! any importance in the development of aur "material" resources? teaching must be raised.

Labor. The CCF party, it wvill be recalled, is known as the political arm of the CCL. A no less persuasive reason for reject- ing the CCF bill for the compulsory check- off o! union dues is that it is undemocratic. Were such a proposai ta become law, cm- ployees who dici nat wish ta belong toaa union, would nontheless be requircd by laxv to submit ta a deduction !rom their pay envelope ta be turned over by the employer ta the union concerneci.
