The Newmarket Public Library Week This week acre Canada we are observing Education Week The schools are holding open house Publicity is being given to all phases of education The dictionary tells us that ed ucation is the process or manner of training one tor his station life Public library service repre sents a social responsibility which no community can safely avoid It is the backbone of all educat ion for all people of all ages In telligently organiaed and ed it becomes a strong and essent ial in the life and thought of the people and the need for such service dynamic and pro gressive is more urgent today than it has ever yet been in the history of man We quote this paragraph from a handbook by Angus Mowat The Public Libr ary published by the Ontario de partment of education Many people think that we have to learn things to be educated In one way that is true But in an other way it is not true at all be cause the real kind of education that matters doesnt come from the possession of a cumulation of facts it comes from the way we look at things and from the way we think and feel about thing And many people who might even agree with this nevertheless thin that the gaining of that real kind of education must unfortunately be a dull and tedious business would be unwilling to be lieve that it can come just from reading for fun We know that there are crowds of books whose stories are so in teresting that we dont want put them down yet which whilf they have fascinated us made us look at things and thin about things a bit more clearl than we did before If therefore our formal education does not in clude the beginnings of the habit reading much of it must inevit ably be wasted But reading is nol only a habit it is a habit easily formed once it is discovered that there are enough books to reading for fun possible through out life Surely is one of the primary aims of teachers and librarians to start boys and girls this royal road which leads not only to happiness but to that re and innermost thing which talk about education Centennial The following is an from the centennial speech by Carol Blaxley grade seven Prince Charles school The date it
