RAAAARRAREALBBEAS, TeleTetels i Author Rejects Experts Criticism Dr. Hilda Neathy, author of the best-sélling book So Little For The ~ Mind, today struck back at critics of her book in an outspoken article in - the current issue of MacLean's Maga- zine, Dr. Neatby contends that edu- 'cation experts who attacked her book, subtitled An Indictment of Canadian Education, refused to tackle its main theme and instead hurled epithets at side issues. In her Maclean's article, Dr. Neatby lists adjectives applied to the book by critics: abusive, acid, angry, aristo- cratic, arrogant, unbushingly biased, biting bitter, confusing, contentious, | destructive, diffuse, dishonest, distort- ed, exaggerated, harsh, hysterical, impious, inaccurate, misleading, peev- ish, pitiful, prejudiced, repetitious, sarcastic, spiteful, splenetic, strident, tendentious, unbalanced, exasperating- ly unclear, unfair, uninformed, unjust, unkind, unscholarly, unscientific, vin- : dictive, virulent, vituperative and vulgar, "The publie response to my ecriti- cism offered by official educators in the daily press and in professional Journals has been undignified, unin- tellegent and supremely uninterest- ing," Miss Neatby says. .The Maclean's article quotes de- tractors who called So Little For The Mind "a mass of exaggeration, sweep- ing generalization, personal prejudice and even spitefulness," and branded its "author an "embittered spinster" and an "educational McCarthy." Refusing to retract views she ex- pressed in So Little For The Mind, Dr, Neatby made this statement of her position: "When I wrote these things I'believed them to be true; now, fresh from reading a vast pile of angry honsense, I am forced to the conclu- sion that they are proved beyond reasonable doubt. The published views of professional educators indicate that it is themselves rather than their job that they take seriously, and that for all their talk of democracy they care nothing for individual freedom."

Only with help of the ailing person can the | doctor be expected to bring about speedy, gentle and enduring restora- tion of health; only with the interest and help of halthy persons can the doctor make progress toward blotting out disease, . To ascertain what is wrong with an ailing person is no_light undertaking] A medical man's success in diagnosis depends upon his knowledge of na- ture's response to various insults and injuries, and upon his ability to eval- uate the evidence of disease and inter- pret it correctly, He forms his judg- ment not only on the basis of what the patient says, but under guidance of the whole network of signs and symptoms after a complete survey, Symptoms are never imaginary. If a man says he has a headache, he is either truthful or not; he is not imag- But the knowledge he conveys may be inac- curate because it is coloured by some- thing he has been doing. He may have doctored himself, thus changing the trend and extent of his symptoms.

Rapid advance it medical research have produced a vast and complex science, one which is too immense and complicated to be grasped and applied in its entirety by any one individual. There are, said an article in The Annals of the Amer- ican Academy of Political and Social Science, twenty-three different class- ifications' of specialists and sub: specialists certified by the various American Medical Specialty Board. In addition, the team -devoted to the 'conservation of human life includes the dentist, the physical therapist, the dietitian, the psychologist, and others specially trained. : One way to live longer is by having regular medical check-ups by a phy- sician who knows us and our medical history. Has.it occurred to men to think that the more favourable life expectancy of women may be due in some part to their greater readiness to seck and to follow medical advice?

There are some people, of course, who believe that instead of extending our wants and then striving to satis- fy them we should reduce our needs and be content, This is an ancient idea. Plato the philosopher held that a reasonable man would moderate his wants, Most people in: the western world wish to live as richly as they possibly can," and when they observe/the con= tinually increasing quantity and var- iety of commodities their work pro- duces, they see no reason why they should not go ahead and do so, A measure of the increase in pro- ductivity in Canada is provided by government statistics. From 1926 our production in manufacturing increas- ed from $3,101 million to $16,271 mil- lion in 1951, and the number of work- ers from 559,000 to '1,248,000." Fig- ures that are easier to grasp are those showing' the production ber worker: 1926, $5,645; 1946, $7,504; 1951, $13,- 043. At the same time, our stand- ard of living has risen, and the social status of all sorts of people has been raised a notch or two. Not everyone is yet contended' and free from worry, but the general ef- fecp has been, where the industrial re- volution made itself effective, to give workers-more of good than of evil. The mechanical revolution elimin- ated the human being as a drudge. It provided tools to which the operator transferred his skill, thus producing more goods with less expenditure of human energy. Only. 3b years ago when a man left his home on Monday morning he had a 58-hour work week ahead of him; today, the average work week is 40 hours--and the mis- sing 18 hours have been transferred to the man himself. But with all this improvement we do not yet produce enough so that all can be cared for in the best way pos- sible according to modern standards. "Feople collectively cannot buy twice as much goods as before unless they produce twice as much goods. That production can be brought about by co-ordination of men, management and machines.
