Authorizd as Second-Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa THAT MAN A man died last week in Russia. in this day, it is an unusual ex- perience that people the world over should not be moved by the passing of the leader oi a power- tul nation but that is the way it was. There is no need to delve into a lengthy, tedious outline oi the history ot Communism trom Marx to the new Malenkoy. Itis a grim repetition of a grim theory. itissimply this--a little child said to her mother last week, 'Why is novody sad because that man died And her mother said "be- cause he made a whole lot ol peo- ple cry A small child thought very hard and said ,"He must have been a bad man". On numerous occasions, the word 'great' has been used with reterence to Joseph Stalin. No one is great in any sense of the word who achieves the smallest measure of success with com- plete disregard tor the happiness ot his fellows. We do not question that he was a powerful man but power through brute force is the easy route and inspires nothing; his- tory does not lie and it tells of men of all ages who have tried Stalin's method and failed. 228000600000 006 "On Monday she lunched wit ee a aes On Wednesday she managed One at noon and the other On Thursday a luncheon on Poor things she was through 222 eee 8 2000022 OO2222 222222 DDD DDDD DLL With statistics and stew she was Then she dashed to a tea on 'Cri And dined with a Church Ladies' Guild.

Madam: in reading in your paper the account of Mr. Harris speech to the Haileybury Home and School Association, one teels it is un- fortunate that a man of his train- ing should be so ill-versed in the field of applied psychology as the report ot his speech indicates. {am no expert, as you all know. However, were he as well versed he implies, he would know Dear ase in the meantime, peace is a 'at psychology poilnts out that condition that must be worked the essential of education is to tor by each individual every liv stimulate interest in learninig ing nroment--in the home, in the school, in the church, in the everyday job and in the political field. The right idea is more powerful than all the weapons man can produce, It must be made stronger than-it's oppon- ent--Communism, The hope of internal strife in Russia is lazy, wishful thinking. The internal strife exists right =now in the free world and the job is right here to be done by every tree man. District Will Gain The District will benefit in $16,109 in increased provincial i grants to municipalities result ot the recently enacted Municipal Unconditional Grants | Act, Under the new Act whereby Government grants are made on a per capita basis, the grants made to municipalities in the District will amount to $36,601, as compared with $20,492 under the former Act. The per capita arrangement has a total of ten classifications with Haileybury falling in the group of towns with a poulation of over 2,000. The following figures show the population according to the 1951 census, the grant made in 1952, under the old Act, the new per capita rate and the grant that will be due to the municipality in 1953: Haileybury--2,146 pop., $3,838 1952 grant; $1.60 per capita rate, $3,434 new grant, Last year the federal govern- ment collected $25 million from arouse the desire to learn! When that desire (phsychologists call it motivation) is present, hard work the medium through which the goal of learning is reached. It is undertaken will- ingly and cheerfully, as a neces- sary part of the job, instead of grudgingly. Discouragement and failure are then added stimuli to further effort. The role of the parent and teacher is to see that discouragementeand failure are not beyond the child's ability. 1 feel sure no psychologist would 1S ever say or intimate that people $16,000 Under New Act inent of Lemiskaming these hould not experience discourage- or frustration. They take for granted as necessary the amount of parts of living and learning. Their nterest is in helping people learn as a how to handle them successfully. Has Mr. Harris ever read any »00ks on Child Psychology ? If so jhe should have found in them what he himself says of educa- tion and learning, "some of the most important tasks in life are not interesting", "there is no substitute for an education based on sound habits, self discipline and a solid home life.' Perhaps not in these words but in others as explicit. In regard to the criticism of present trends in education, one wonders if Mr. Harris would be as willing to return to oil lamps as he is to return to old methods of teaching and the limited cur- riculum of days of yore. Do not advances in science; the necessity of handling an increasingly com- plex world, call not only for ad- ditional knowledge but also for broader knowledge of that world and the things and people in it? It may be true that some par ents feel they no longer have any say in education,--though even lo 10rinal education, that 1S €duca- uon at school, 'Lhis is all they can reter to, since chidren learn much betore tormal education starts. ihey are in the home be- lore they go to school, and they learn' trom their experiences whether parents teach or not. itven teacners realize this, since they are inclined to blame previ- ous training in the home for schoo] behaviour with which they ind it difficult to cope. Why shoulu not parents depend lor 1ormai education ot children, on the seli-admuitted experts in this neid who' have beeh trained mi tne knowleage and tcaching skills whicn parents often lackr ihey depend on medical experts © to prevent and cure disease. Could it be that teachers like Mr. Har- ris are unwilling to assume the responsibility tor which they are presumably ntted by training and position ¢ Must they find a scape-goat in parents and public schoo] teaching? 'The psycholo- gist whom he blames tor condi- tions which -he deplores would say: "Lake the child where he is atid help him learn what is uecessary"". --Florence Cooke LYNN BARSTEAD TELLS SiGKY Or UNGAVA'S NUN UKE DEPOSITS As more money became neces- sary to finance the building of tne railroad needed to take the ore irom the deposits to the St. Law- rence NKiver, msurance companies were tormed.

Burnt Creek is a small settle- ment five miles northeast of Knob Lake, where in 1951, ten houses were built on a hill just beyond the company buildings and a telephone system already begun in 1948 was put in some of them. There is no central.

After this, Miss 3onny gave us the names of three Girl Guides in the British Isles who had requested pen-pals in Canada. A Guide trainer from Kirkland Lake is coming to the New Lis- Keard Public School to show mo- vies to the Brownies and Guides. Nams were picked to _ find which girls from here are going. After this we went into out Patrol Corners to work on our Tenderfoot and second class tests Campfire was supervised by Mrs. Galloway, who taught usa very nice "round". This ended with Taps. --Jill Robson.
