Waste a moment on the nonsense he has written in support of his argument. He begins with two statements made by a Carleton University professor and the dean of pediatrics " the Yale School of Medicine who say respectively that girls tm day aren't taught to find the great satisfaction that may be derived from the work of a housewife and mother: and, the trouble with our civilization is that women are being brought up to think like men. The educators-in question are Oswald Hall. of the Department. of Political Economy at the University ot Toronto. and Bruce MeF1tlute, of ghe DerrartPentyrt Spciology at Carlemn Univenity. These gentlemen conducted I three-year survey of the present school system for the Department of Labor. They found the system generally turned out girls who were equipped to be office workere or to go on to supplementary training but that it dld not fit the boys for anything, wart tron: the few yihq go o_n t? university, This would point to a deficiency in the school syltem which the recent revamping and introduction of more teehnieal course: should do much to rectify. But our gentleman journalist present: a completely different point of view. Armed with famous remarks from a couple of misguided educationists. he suggest: that the trouble lies with the girls whose classroom performance in In much better than the boys. His solution to the problem is to eject the girls. Thus off to a good start, Mr. Steen continues: "These and many other observers are suggesting that the root cause of a great many of today's social problems _ unemployment, delinquency. broken homes, suicides and alcoholism _ is the fact that boys and girls get exactly the same schooling." 7 7 __ Mr. Steen suggests separating the boys from the girls in. schools: although I was educated in such a system 1 cannot see where there is much to be gained from this kind of segregation particularly since Mr. Steen and his educators would have the sirls' school concentrate on the kitchen sink and the boys' school on anything but. Very frankly, I feel it might do the boys some good to dip their hands in a little extra soap and water; it would at least get some of the dirt off them. _ _ _ _ .. _ __ t5cn001sQ alLIlngll l was ulutacru in aucu A zjabzlu I taunt” at: H where there is much to be gained from this kind of segregation; . onourable Paul Hellyer, the particularly since Mr. Steen and his educators would have the MinisterotNational Defence was girls' school concentrate on the kitchen sink and the boys' school the speaker of the evening It the on anything but.

As Mr. " a Liberal Cabinet Minister Re Steen points out, most teachers agree that girls do better in school reviewed the accomplishments of than boys because they are naturally more tractable. pay more this past Session in Pa ll t attention and do as they are told.

Ithts young and dedicated Cana- I would agree that our educational system has in the past fail- ed to provide adequate training at the secondary level for boys but I cannot see how this fault can be attributed to girls and I do object to the direction in Mr. Steen's statement that society may lay at their feet all the ills of our manjmade world. - That it is a man-made world is admitted in one of Mr. Steen’s quotes: "From the first grade. girls compete with boys, and are steered toward an adult world in which they will compete with men in the man's world of business or the professions." 7 This is not to say that their roles should be reversed but rath- er that the chores should be shared. Society will be much better served when each fully appreciate the contribution of the other and so will our economy. U _ . . - . .

But the boys don't do as well as girls. argues Mr. Steen. It never occurs to him that we should upgrade the boys raher than downgrade the girls - which is really what the researchers of the Department of labour survey had in rninrl. _ _ But if Mr. Steen and his two assentors are allowed their way of thinking, the girls will once again be relegated to the kitchen sink busying themselves all day with footling tasks that modern appliances can do in secqnds. .. _ __ Women have much to contribute to the world of business and professions and there is ample room for both sexes. Men should stop worrying about their future being jeopardized by female intrusion and pattern their lives accordingly. The result will be of intrinsic value to all concerned. However, I do feel that the first five years of a child‘s life is the most important phase in his development. And young gin. should be taught somewhere that, " mothers. this is their respon- sibility. Nothing can substitute for a mother's love and I'm really quite sure everybody knows it. What we are not sure about is how to direct it and I'm not at all certain that direction can be found in a school course on the subject. A study of the gentle Spinoza might help which all points to the need for higher education for girls not lower.

As I matter of fact the only question one of the newsmen present asked me was "When is the election?" I gave him a truthful answer when I said I didn't know. But I reminded him that if the new Budget was as bad as all the Opposition critics claim it to be then, if they are consistent in their convictions, they will vote the government out of office " the earliest opportunity. They have three chances to do this be. fore the Budget debate winds up. I am ready for an election if the Opposition decide not to let us carry out our Parliamentary pro- gram, as outlined in the Throne debate. I hope it won't come to this. The.rtutwiiibeatttteiittr.
