Lister Robinson, Dean of Durham College ih Oshiawa, em- phasized the neeci for gre4ter stress in the humanities in our educational systemn. Mr. Robinson was speaking to close to fifty at the Onono Public Sehool Home and School Club on Tuesday ev- ening. The meeting was lield in the basement of the Orono Un- ited Churcli. 11e referre d to as two types of 'Mindstocking" ling". He feit tl wvas a swing to F wliat lie termed education, lieing and, "Firekinci- bat today there Firekindling rath- er than trying to stock the minci with facts which is imnossible in this day of change. The speaker also said that in early years it was possible to know almost ev- erything but that today this lias changed and facts of knowledge double every ten years. lIn support of Firekindling lie said we must achieve the excite. ment of the accomplishment of success. The educational progress, he stated, was easy to achieve if you can kindie the students' in- terests. It was important to know what you didn,'t know rather than what, you dici know, lie said. Early in bis address lie emplia- sized the importance o>f the hu-. manities and pointed out that ln Canada productivity had not in- creased as in other countries.over the past sixteen years.hIn 1950 Sweden was $431 per capita' be- hind that of Canada whule inw 1966 Sweden' was $280, ahead of Can- ada. In,1950 the per capita figure in the U.S. w-as $650 greater than in Canada and advanced to $1050 ahead of the per capita productiv- ity in Canada by 1966. Several times durine bis speech Mr. Robinson referred ' to' hi equation of "Resources equal raw materials plus people plus edu- cation." H1e said this was an im- portant. factor to remember. It concerned hlmi to see that enrol, m~ent in primary education was beginning to' level off for this., would have an adverse effect on the equation if the enrolmenit figure dropped too greatly. A rap- id drop. in population cQulcit af- fect us to a greater extent, than a s urging ahead population, he said. .The cost of educaton,,lhe said, would, continue to ihcrease as more and more are being educat- ed and are staying in school long- er. .He warned'of change for chang- es sake offly but welcomed, the use of computers andi television even thougli no one really k-iew the affect of the end resuit. 1Mr. Robinson questioned the' neasuremeuit of intelligence as a sole guide. lit is this field that w7e can measure, -however there are otber iiCportant features which we cannot measure and these lie referred to as compassion, cour- age and sensitivity. The latter èeatures, lie saici, were import- ant andi rich qualities. The Intelligence guotient often, made a student snobbish andi cre-, ted resentment between people vert though others would lie rich' ithe humanities, lie said. The speaker outlined the bncie istory of the Community Col- lge which haci as its grandfather- *yerson Institute wbich was dcv- 3lopcd in the mid 19401s.
