In teaching mathematics he was not to teach how to add and subtract but how to discipline the mind. Freach was not In days gone by students learned by direct process of "constant drill and hard work". ‘Of course they didn‘t enâ€" joy this rigid discipline. "There was mighty little time for play or for specâ€" tacular athletic fsats, But we seemed to survive, and I never heard of ‘any student having a nervous breakdown." In the December Atlantic Monthly there is an article in which Mr. Anton De Hass, a professor in four different American universities since 1915, says some things about education worth considering. Mr. De Haas confesses to suffering an attack of acute conscience while recently listening t> a commenceâ€" ment address setting forth the Ameriâ€" can system of education as the best ever devised. He fears that all is not so well as the young zealot imagined. There were no clearly defined Objecâ€" tives, there was surfeit of trimmings and trappings, there were too many I.Q.‘s and not enough I, t3o more psyâ€" choanalysis and not enough work.

Professor DeHaas wants to return to normal He wants to teach, not to tinker.â€" He wants to broaden minds, not to set them into ruts that may bring more immdeigae earning power, Nor is he. concerned about enabling the students to make social contacts. His school would ,be a sch‘ol, not a country club. "But I am wrong again. We are mow, so the newspapers inform me, going to give special attention to charâ€" acter building.

What the country needâ€" ed was not leaders but ircelligent peoâ€" ple to be led. / Remarks the professor: "If there is one thing the world does not need it cess, took drill, hard work and comâ€" petent guidance. So educationists had passed the â€"arduous road to success. gone â€"down a paved highway with "Training for Leadership‘" as their banner. One didn‘t become a leader by learning, apparently, but merely by léarning to become a leader. "Here inâ€" deed is a smoke screen behind which failure may be hidden."

It is underâ€" stood that the building will be only one storey high and that it will not have any basement, except the necesâ€" Ssary space for furnace and cther heatâ€" ing and storing equipment. It is also understood that there is no provision in the plans for the new building for any apartments for janitor. Some local organizations are said to have expected to be able to secure quarters in the new post office building, but the plans suggest that the building is n10t designed to accommodate anything but the post office, and, perhabs customs office. is not an exception to this rule. In comparison with the other accommodâ€" ations of the town and the public buildâ€" ings for other purposes, the Kapusâ€" kasing post office has not been up to the general standard of public buildâ€" ings in Kapuskasing. Governments,. however; are not usually very quick to ser the needs of distant towns and special credit seems to be due Mr. Braâ€" dette for being able to impress the government with the real need for a suitable post office. ‘ Timmins and Cochrane are two of the larger towns in this riding where post office buiidings of special imâ€" pressiveness have beon crecced in réâ€" cent years, thanks largely to the perâ€" sistent and able efforts of Mr. J.
