DEMOCRACY WORKS Britain's-free press has attacked Mr. Bevin's. policy in the near East and many responsible news commentators seem to justify its stand. Is it pos- pible that a new day has really dawn- ed in the relm of international agree- ments? Are we the people to have a say in the deg¢isions made by-our gov- ernments at long last. The day of under-cover secret diplomacy' seems -on the surface to be slowly disappear- ing. Radio bridges the world in a few short hours and complex interwoven factions of interest are thrown on the air for all to hear, They are boiled down to a point where every intelligent listener finds himself trying to pass judgment on passing events in spite of himself, 7 : Much of this is all to the good and some of it may be otherwise. It is true that many more people are begin- ning to be aware of their citizenship in the world at large by this method of obtaining news. It follows that a larger portion "of these folk must be doing more thinking about that world ® * than ever before. All this is on the right side of the ledger. On the other hand we must guard against the N° danger of thinking that because we ~ hear of immediate events so quickly! and clearly that we can see all the im- plications of them. : When British planes were first shot down over Israeli the home papers rose to an emotional state of righteous indignation but later on when more facts were pieced together jt was found that there. were two sides to this. story just as there are to every "tale. Now a more considered sum- : ming up of the story is béing given by the English press and-Mr. Bevin will do the right thing eévéntually becatse 'he is no longer Mr. Bevin alone, but Mr. Bevin and thirty-eight million other Englishmen who are putting pressure on him to keep to the path of responsibility to them and 'to the . world.

LA, F. B. * * * * HUMAN RELATIONS The changes that have taken place in the school system itself. It is gen- .erally agreed by most educators that 'the the changes which have taken place .inside our schools have far out-run the most important course in our schools to-day is the subject of health and physical education. The thought underlying 'this idea is the basic one that without good health no one is in a position to adequately learn or ap- preciate what good living is. Health and physical education are worked in- to the school program:in many ways and the emphasis placed upon them is obviously a wise emphasis. However, educational psychology, which is prim- arily responsible for most of the ad- {vances made in education in the past (twenty-five years, is now directing our attention towards mental health. Psychologists assert that the human personality is a kind of unity and that physical health and mental health are two ways of looking at the same thing--reverse sides of the same coin --and they further maintain that we must give mental health a real place in our educational program.f The basic idea in mental health is the forgetting of the self, the develop- ment of an unselfish outlook or atti- tude. They go further and say that a wholesome personality can . only through the gradual development of such an attitude. If our children are to grow up capable of dealing intelli- gently with their. problems, the es- 'sential ability will be in terms of their | ability to get along with others-. . . !more important than intellectual de- velopment, more important than the development of important skills, more important than academic knowledge. Therefore, the supreme task of the teacher is to foster the social spirit in her pupils by means of every oppor- tunity to be found in the school pro- achieve a worthy kind of success' "PORT PERRY, ONTARI appointed delegates to the Ontario As- sociation of Rural Municipalities.
