Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, July 5, 1945 Recently there have been letters in Toronto newspapers boasting that the public schools there have had more than one lady principal during the years. As usual the Porcupine Camp is in advance of the provincial capital, having. had eminently successful lady principals for many years. Just at the moment, South Porcupine is more than regretful because the talented lady who for thirty years has served the children so effectively and so devotedly is retiring. The Adâ€" vance ‘has no apology for the space recently deâ€" voted to reference to the services of Miss B. M. C. shaw as principal of the South Porcupine public school. Surely the achievement recorded is more important than many murders or scandals or sensationsâ€"more in the real nature of "news‘". Thirty years of eminently successful service as teacher and school principal, with literally hunâ€" dreds of successful pupils and with a schooi reâ€" cord for efficiency that approaches the unique. And ‘over and beyond all this, the holding of the genuing affection and the sincere esteem of all, Surely, achievement is the word for it. The reâ€" markab'le demonstrations of appreciation and afâ€" fect:on from teachers, pupils, former pupils, parâ€" ents,; school trusteesâ€"all connected in any way with‘ the South Porcupine public schoolâ€"have been strikingly impressive. The tributes during the past week have been truly remarkable. The municipality, the board of school trustees, all the churches, the service club of the town, the Boy Scouts Association, the Girl Guides Association, the Red Cross,â€"practically every organization and group in the communityâ€"have been forward with tangible evidence of appreciation and regard Emphasis has been placed by the Catholic Church organizations on her consideration and respect for the beliefs of others. The Finnish ladies said she has united the Finnish and the other Canâ€" adians as no ‘Oone else could do. It would seem that her services to the community have equalled her services :tosthe school. The Advance does not know ‘of"gny other case where recognition and appreciatlon have been so widespread, so genâ€" eral and so sincere. .

Too many people are inclined to look on museums as simply places of interest, while the fact is that museums in general have a particular practical value for many reasons. Their value in preserving and illustrating history can not be overâ€"emphasized. All museums have research departments and these branches of the work prove of genuine practical benefit. This is true in special manner in regard tom the Royal Ontario Museum Newsâ€"a bulletin issued monthly or oftener, and dealing with so many interesting subjects that it will attract all thoughful people. While the Royal Ontario Museum is modest in regard to its own work, it seldom fails to indicate some line of practical value and profit. At the moment the Royal Ontario News is advocating the establishment of local museums. The Royal Ontario Museum believes it has a special interest and responsibility in this matter. It admits that a large percentage of existing local museums are ineffective, because they lack the right financial support, adequate housing and trained staffs. "Back of all this, however," says The Royal Ontâ€" ario Museum News, ‘"is the failure of people at large to realize that the local museum, like the public library, can be an important auxiliary inâ€" strument of education." A hint to the solution of this problem lies in the words, ‘"like the public library." Why not have the museum as an integral part of the public library. Some years ago the chief librarian of the Timmins public library became much interâ€" ested in the matter of a local museum for Timâ€" mins. Very properly she looked on Timmins and There ‘can be no question of the remarkable achievement of Miss Shaw in sponsoring so many brilliant students, in inspiring so many to the best ways of life, in winning the esteem and afâ€" fection of all. Mi§$ Shaw herself passes on the honour to the" pup:ls the parents, the school board, the cof@irnity. This is not all modesty There 1q sound sense in it. It is certain that Withoqt coâ€" operatlon and goodwill the work of those"who serve the public is handicapped and restr;'cfgd. But the genius of public service lies in securing that sympathy and esteem. That is achievement. Still it must be admitted that Miss Shaw‘s achievement has been matched by the achievement of the people of the community. It is a great thing to win the success that Miss Shaw undoubtedly has won.. It is also a great thing to know â€"that the peo’ple of a community have the talent and the genérous spirit that recâ€" ognizes and apprec1ates gréat service ‘in thelr behalf. | , 6 es to t oi e * : mstrlct as an area that could. provide very specla) But mw much further 1s 'tt safe to to than. that fttractions for any museum.

The present premises are not sufficiently large to accommodate the rapidly growing needs of the library itself.. No doubt when happier days arrive there will be plans to give adequate quarters for the hbrary itself. To this should be added still further room for local museum purposes. »It would seem that the local: library and the local museum may well go together as "auxiliary instruments of education." The response being given to the appeal for $6,000,000 for a new modern building for the Hospital for Sick Children is so ready and so genâ€" erous that all may well feel proud of Canada and of Canadians. Anything for the children is a true building for the future, and the Hospital for Sick Children bears so important a part in the health, the strength and the happiness of childâ€" ren that this building for the future has very special significance. ‘The authorities=:of the Hosâ€" pital for Sick Children estimated that the least amount that would meet the needs for a new, modern: and . thoroughly equipped new, building. would be six ‘million dollars. The amount, ‘howâ€" ever is so large that some people were dlscouraged before the campalgn was well started. Of course, the present war is worse than the lastâ€"just as the last was worse than any of its predecessors. The Halifax Herald has harsh words for those people who are not suré that the present war will be the last one. The Herald argues that there cannot be another war because the world can not stand it. The same argument was used at the end of the war of 1914 to 1918. Yet the world is standing another war now. It is remarkable what the world can stand. It is well to remember, before becoming too dogmatie in the matter that China has endured warâ€"the same sort of war that the rest of the world has sampledâ€"for four years longer than Britain. It is admitted that in view of all the other calls these days, six~milâ€": lion dollars is an immense amount of money to' expect to raise. But what of the facts? At the‘ time of writing this, the subscriptions total well‘ over $5,000,000. It has taken such a comparativeâ€" ly short time to raise that five million dollars that there is every assurance that the other million will be secured without difficulty. Another feature of the campaign is worthy of special note. No one can read the lists of donâ€" ations as published in The Globe and Mail without being struck by, the fact that there are so many anonymous ~donations. "Anon, " _ "Anonymoys," "Wellâ€" w1sher "Grateful", "Former Patlent” and. other, names to ‘hide gener051ty are so frequent as to catch even the careless. eye. These an- onymous subscrlptlons are not paltry sums that the donors mlght be ashamed to own. Insteéad, they.are generous gifts, many of them $100 don * ations with many| at© .and exen. more. One cymcal newspaper suggests that these anonymous donatlon.s may be made with the plan of keeping the public from knowing that the donor; has so much ‘ There is nothing in . that sort of cyn1c1sm iThe answer is quite simple If there were ultemor motive behind such. dona- tions, why~ should the donors give anything . at all? The truth seems to be that the donors are so interested in helping the cause that there is no thought of publicity or other reward. _ The whole situation is so pleasing that it should warm the heart of any true Canadian, and also it should spur them on to do their own share. The donors are "building the future" without thought of selfishness or personal advantage. The record success of the Legion "V" Carnival last week is an illustration of what good organâ€" ization, good coâ€"operation and a good cause Can achieve when dealing with a good people. There are two brothers in town who have conâ€" trary methods of welcoming servicemen home on leave. The one is an optimist and the other is a pessimist. Says the optimist:â€"*"Well, I am glad to welcome you home!" Says the pessimist:â€" "Hullo! It‘s too bad you have to go to the Pacific!" It is interesting to note that Canada was the first natlo,n to declare war on the J apanese Preéâ€" mier King: apparently is carrying his priciple of "first in, first out" to the war with the Japs.> _ Still stands the motto of the King: is "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capablef Keep your ‘hearts proud and your resolveâ€"unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man a smile on our lips.and. our heads held high ano with God‘s help we shall not faill."

In the confusion, the public should not forget that the senate may be a useful body. "The Printed Word" points out that Premier R. B. Bennett made the Senate of much value. He had legisâ€" lation initiated and perfected there where it could have study and thought not practical in the House of Commons. "The Printed Word" mentions two acts of this kind, one relating to insurance, and the other to shipping. Neither of them have needed revision since. That is something.
