AUGUST 2D, 1936 Our Pubtic Schools in a Worthy Cau-se It was certainly moat refreshing to ré"d last week an address given Vo the WhitbY RotaryClub by Principal R. A. Sennett, of Whitby Public Schools, in which hé made dlean VhP.V the functions of Vhes chool are confined not merely to the teaching of sub- jects on Vhe school curriculum, but Vo the gréater and more iofty task of developing an efficient citizenaship. With the subjects on Vhe curriculum as- a foundation, the children of oun public schools, according Vo Principal Sennett, are being taught aIl that good citizenship implies. Education, prop- erly imparted, is a sure and aolid founda- tion on which Vo build character whlch will lu after Illfe, when oun boys and girls léave the achools, meet aIl the demanda 0f citiz- enuhip in Whitby and in every other com- munity. Frankly, we like Principal Senntt's statement to the effecet tat an achoola ef- forts are being directed towa:rde cultivat- ing among the pupilà tihe habit of think- lng for thsmselvez, and that the teacher jhould do for no pupils what they can do for theaelves-Vto develop self effort which la the key Of success. We are much ta.ken up also with his staternent that the âatest problein o! life is Vo teach people to live together efficiently. Ini this connec- t1oýi he butlined some of the characteristica necessay for good citizenahip-a-el! re- spett, self honor, self contraI, sensé of dutir, truthfulness, confidence, the désiré 10 excel ad improve, vision, industry, re- spect and conaldération for the rlghts of o1ýhers9 and mariy other factors in good clizenship. Mn. Sennett poînted out Vo Ro- tarians, and we f eei sure that they were glà d ta hear it, tha.t all of thése fine vir- tuez and pillars o! citizénshup are aught Incident.ally in the public sehools as Vhs téachenu take up the va.ious subjécts on the curriculum. They endeavored and trled to explian d ilustrate great truths and lead pupils to dnmw conclusions and make their own applications ta influencé thé buîlding o! their'-chanaters. L4k. a f ur- thon refreahing breze Mn. Sennett added that if teachers, wlth the co-opénation of parents, will do this, consistently, thé next génération o! citizens should 'bécorné e!- ficient and worthy. Mr. Sennettsa addres may be summed up in thé statémént that thé foundations of cltlzmuhip are beîng laid In our achools.

Schoolu Re-Open Septem b.r 1 There is always somebody taking the joy out of life. Just when school children were enjoyi.ng to the f ullest extent their holu- days, and thinking very littie of the more serious things of life, aJong cornes the Whitby Board of Education la.t week with t-he announicernent that the schools wilI re- open in legs than two weeks, Tuesday, Selb- tember lst, Vo be exact. This paper hated Vo Mention the. Board's decisiori but i'. simply had Vo be done. Trhe opening cornes a litt.le earlier this year due to the fact that the first of the month zornes early in the wveek and pre. cedes the Lahor Day, Holiday on Septem- ber 7th by four school days. This is per- haps th.- reaaon why the news of the opeti- king came with such a "sýhock" to rnany of the schooil children. NVe feel sure, hqmeNer, that most child- ren in Whitby h'ave enjoyed a very pleas- ant vacation. Sorne have been out of sch'ooi since the middle of June an-d otthcrs for a shorter time, but the holiday for ali has been of sufficient length and no doubt the majority of the pupils will again w4elcomc thie sound of the achool bel]. The Light That Fadled lt is certainly true that 'eneyer miss the watcr until the well goes dry." ~Satur- day night when shopping was in f uil swing in Vhs business section some o! the lights went out. Immnediately candies and couail lampa were brought f romn cupboa.rds, and the hands of Vinie for a brie! apace wére Vurned back several yeans. The cause of the sudden darkness waa simple enough Vo those who understand the ramifications of the town's Iighting system, and it wa au accident which mnight occur at any tuie and on any municipal Hydro electnue syatem, b ut because Saturday night had Vu b. thé time for Vhe accident, we migsed thé llghts more.

Thé éditorial had ta do with the action of thé Cobourg Town Council in taking out insurance with a certan Amenican Coin- pany on thé Town Haln, and had absolutely no référence wbatever Vo Whitby where thé Council, we féel, has thé question of insurmnce on civic properties efficiently in haud. It was used in thesé columna, as a matter of fact, because ws feit that it wus of général luteréat, for thé question o! thé pladng of insunmncé is, wé feél, a very im- portant anc for every municipmlity.

Keeping Rolling A long What a curious thing is human be- havior! Government appointments Vo the directorates of the new set-ups of the Na- tional Railways and Radio are not to be made for some time, observes the Ottawa Journal. Perhaps not until the Fail. Yiet only a few' months ago Parliament! was seething with excitement about the pro- Poaed changes. The Government said that changes were vital, inescapable. Indeed, it (the Government) would be recreant to ats trust if it didn't make them. Our railwayst and radio-they just had to be Baved. %Vell, they haven't been &"saved." Not yet. M1ore than five weeks have gone since Parliament provided for their saving, buL Judge Fullerton is still running the Cana-. dian National and Mr. Charlesworth is aViti running radio, and we haven't floticed that either institution ha& been ruined, or that anybody continues Vo be excited abou.t them. They just keep rolling along. With most things in life, it is precisety that w-ay. We fret a.nd fuss over things w-e think we must do.,say that if we don't do thein something terrible will happen, and then, the thing or things done (or lef t un- done) wa discover that littie happons. Men have a passion for change. And a propensity for exaggeration. We magnify mole-his into mountains, make stormas that would f it neatl.y Into teacupa get Vo bleve that everything that iz must be w-roztg. We imagine ourselves important, feel t.hat if *e don't do certain things, or pass certain laws, or change somethtng or somebody, the earth wilI cesse revo1vlnu. [t is just imagination. Most of un are but tiny drops in an ocean of infinlty.
