: & EP gi . paar iY IE "Dear Anne Hirst: Three years ago 1 met a girl who fell in love with. me, When I had to tell her I only liked her, she tried to kill herself -- so I kept on seeing her, Finally I did fall in love. The day we celebrated our second wedding annjver- sary, she told me she did not love me nor the baby, and wanted a divorce. So two months ago 1 left. } * "I still cannot see how I fail- ed" her, I made a good. living, 1 "helped at home, 1 did all the cooking. She just. read love stories or listened to the radio. 1 was trying to save, but all she wanted was to spend and be on the go, sometimes being out half the night and drinking too much. Through two illnesses I nursed her like a father -- and this is "what I get! "Recently I wrote asking her to come back for the baby's sake, and she replied, 'Do you think I'm going to let that baby ruin my life?' Is there any hope of living together again? My mother has the child. A BROKEN LIFE" * I think there is little hope' 4671 SIZES 12--20: 40 bt Foes Your best friend is this. prin- cegs dress -- it whispers such lovely things about your figure!

She was spoiled to begin with, and you continued the process; you were entirely too good to her. If she had been made to face her duties, she might have de- veloped some moral strength; but you cared too much to force her. IL was not love she needed so much as discipline. Plan your life now with no thought of her in mind. If she did consent to come back it would only mean, I'm afraid, that every other refuge had closed to her -- and mn that case she would continue * to be your major problem. There are other young wo- men in your world who would appreciate the devotion of which you are capable. 1 hope when you are free of this wife, you will find such a one. EE TE SR « x * ® » A CHILD WORRIES "Dear Anne Hirst: My daddy ~ has always drunk liquor ever since 1 remember. He comes home at night and starts 'quar- reling and disturbs everybody. "He and Mom have been mar- ried 17 years. She had said sev- eral times-she. is going to leave him, but then she reminds me he is good to us when he isn't . drinking. He always says he is going to stop but he never does. + "1 think vour advice will help us. . WORRIED" So many personal angles enter into this problem, 'I think it. best that your mother write me herself. She can ex- plain what she thinks causes your father to desire alcohol, HER LUCK RAN OUT--Mrs. Martin Snell was lucky not to be inside when her car was smashed by a falling stage wall. But after trying unsuccessfully to open the door, left, she turned and tripped on the debris, right. Result: A broken thumb and a bruised knee. Stage was being razed at the old 20th Century-Fox studios when the wall collapsed. The Real Crisis in Modern Education Modern education -- its faults, failings and problems -- is a subject that concerns every one of us; -and althought it applies to United States conditions specifically, we think the fol- lowing hard-hitting article has enough Canadian applicability to be worth reproducing. It is by Willian H. Stringer, Chief of the Washington Bureau of The "Christian Science Monitor. L * * N We hear a lot about the underdeveloped countries these days. Now, as the White House Conference on Education has sounded its sharp warnings, it is also pertinent to ask: Is the United States going to be known some day as an undereducated _country? Fantastic, one may say. And "if one listens to radio commen- tators who discuss only whether the White House conference has grass-roots support, instead | of dealing . with the stark needs, one may continue to avoid- reality. But let an official be quoted on the subject who is somewhat removed from the educational world but knows firsthand the tremendous need for teachers +.70, and nine times as much per pupil is spent on education. The question is whether he is adequately trained for the de- mands of today's society. : Too many graduates consider their degree merely as a ticket to a job and a pass for security. "This desire for security in terms of money rather than in opportunity for ment is hard to understand in a society where security is so readily available." The United States is spending about 21% per cent of its nation- al income on education. In con- trast it spends more than 4 per cent on recreation, In 1951 the amount spent for advertising was $199 for every family in the United States, but the amount spent for primary and secondary education was only $152 per houschold. The national outlay "for educating citizens is substan- tially less than the outiay for educating customers.

Personally I am not interested in the game itself--not under- standing. the play--but like most people I was very inter-. ested in the final score. Not only that but it is nice to know so many people are enthusiastic over a common interest. Part- ner and Bob were following the game with close attention. Joy and I soon found it was hardly safe to speak so we retired to another room where we could talk jn peace. It was surely a bist day' for Vancouver.

During municipal, provincial or were long-winded letters, usual- ly far from complimentary, from public-spirited citizens. Now | local news' is much wider in- scope, It 'concerns ~super-high- 'ways, large land deals, labour unions and health . insurance. General news is like an octopus with téntacles 'that reach out to every village and farm so that general . news inevitably be- comes, to a great extent, local news. For this reason farm: folk how need an awareness of pub- lic affairs that was not actually necessary a decade ago. Unless we cultivate this awareness we may find ourselves left out in schemes in which we should be included. : ' : Referring again to the recent- ly" suggested Health Insurance, Delegates of the Provincial Fed- eration of Labour are putting on -the heat for the early formation of some kind of health plan. And remember, labour usually gets what it wants, So, if a health .|- plan comes into being for or- ganized labour, where does that leave the farmer? Isn't this , something that should be inves- | tigated by the Federation of Agriculture; by the Women's In- stitute and by Farm Forums across Ontario? Who needs to be included in 'a government- sponsored health insurance: plan more than the farmes? Farming is a hazardous occupation. On very few farms are farm em-. ployees insured-under the Work- men's Compensation Act and it the farmer himself is involved in an accident about all he can claim is the cost of -hospitalizar buted to some such scheme. It not he must bear the entire cost of his accident, plus the expense of extra help while he is laid up.. For {this reason, we certainly 'hope that if, and when, a Health Plan is organized, the farmer will not be the Forgotten Man. Before it is too late, the Voice of the Farmer should be heard across Ontario through an or- ganjzed group or society of which he is a member, : And now supposing we con- tinue in lighter vein.

Rickover, who built the at- omic = submarine Nautilus and who has had intense experience in searching for young ¢ngin- cers and. young college gradu- ates for some of the most mod- ern -- yet most typical for the future -- problems in engineer- ing, metallurgy, physics, and electronics. His awareness of educational needs extends well beyond the engineering phase. _ Here, then, as' presented in a recént address by Admiral Rick- over to the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation, Inc. are pertinent points about American educa- tiontoday. To save space I will list them briefly without fur- ther s.ttribution or comment; they speak for themselves: On the engineering side some experts believe the United States is not even graduating enough trained people {o gustain, to fer- tilize, -its present rate of techni- ¢ 11 expansion beyond the year 1970. To maintain present liv- ing standards in the face of rapid population growth indus- try must produce 10 years from now 40 per cent more than Sth, does today. : The United States has used up in minerals and fuels since 1914 ore than the entire world consumed in all of history be- fore 1914. A similar growth in consumption simply canpot oc- cur in the next 30 years 'unless we make profound changes in technology." This requires more and more laboratory and engin- cering skill oy It is well known that the Soviet Union is going to pass the United States in scientific and 'engineering education un- less something is done. The United States today has dbout 800,000 engineers, the U.S.S.R. 650,000. Between 1950 and 1960 the Soviet Union will have graduated 1,200,000 engineers and nafutat scientists, the, United States 900,000 as presently pro- gram.d. The Soviet engineers will be as expert in their fields as th- Americans are. The Rus- sians are educating as many women - as men in the profes- sions; far fewer American women enter the great profes- sions. .

It is more important to have better teachers than better school buildings. The main, the fundamental problem is that teachers' salaries are desperately low -- hence do not attract enough highly qualified men and women, "It will profit us very little to spend millions of dol- lars on scholarships and 'then place the students under incom- 'petent teaches" Niggardly teaching salaries -- to those upon whom we depend to transmit our culture and our civilization -- commit a fraud on our chil- dren. . 7» maintain the present pupil- teacher ratio in the face of heavy population growth, the elemen- tary and high schools will have to enlarge their teaching staffs by 500,000 in the next 10 years, yet there is already a present shortage of 140,000 qualified teachers. To make-up the slack ally "more than half the college graduates during the next 10 years _will have to enter the teaching profession." "Moreover, the school year should be lengthened. The pres- ent "*merican school year is based on an agricultural econ- omy where children had to help on the farm. Students in Europe, including the Soviet Union, at- tend school six days a week in- stead of five, and their vacation period .is about two-thirds of cours. "In a word, I expect Admiral Rickover would sum up by say- ing that the American people must give far more thought. to and pay out far more sums on education from here on -- if only so that the United States may hold its own in the matter of living standards, world leader- ship, and the raising of citizens of ability and wisdom and vision.
