William G. Davis, Minister of Education, has announced the approval of an Ontario Department of Education June 3. I am having more trouble than I had anticipated in training the slaves. Since the adult female refuses to go to bed when the sun goes down, which is the only sensible arrangement, she is still asleep at sunrise, which comes about 5 a.m. these mornings, and as a result, I am faint with hunger by the time the girl slaves get up and go out into the garden to start digging breakfast. I have noticed that they do not have their eyes open during this operation and once or twice I have had to step smartly to one side to avoid getting my tail pinned by the fork. Sometimes I forage around the garden on my own while I allow the slaves to go in to their meal (this is the first rule for a good masterâ€"always be considerate of the lower orders and remember they are better workers on a full stomach.) I am surprised, I must confess, at their limited intelligence, after all that one has heard about homo sapiens. For example, Mumâ€"Mum came out of the house this morning and called my name; of course I turned my head and walked courteously towards her in order to hear what she had to say. Her excitement at this simple act of politeness wes surprising; she kept telling the others that I came when she called. This is her inâ€" terpretation of the situation, of course, but she obviously did not expect to receive this gentlemanly response . . . June 4th. I know it will break their hearts when I leave, but though I have grown fond of these kindlyâ€"intentioned, clumsy creatures, I could not possibly stay with them for a long period. (Also, I wish to strike up an intellectual relationship with a young lady robin whom I have observed in the next garden; she has quite remarkable plumage and I am certain that I have impressed her favorably.) Yes, the time is coming to depart from these poor earthbound creatures. They cannot fly, you know, and I do not see any evolutionary signs that they ever will. They do not have even one feather, which is an indication of their inferior development. Of course, I am aware that some species are superior to others, but I try not to be smug and complacent about this natural superiority; it is an accident of nature or to translate one of the slaves‘ favorite sayings, "That‘s the way the grasshopper: crunches . . ." Talking of grasshoppers, it must be time for elevenses; I think I shall go and accept a few morsels from my slaves â€" it pleuesl them to see me eat and as all thinking robins agree, to give pleasure to others is to give pleasure to oneself . . . ' in his simple way, Daddy finds it uproarious. But the real problem with slaves is, of course, the lack of communication since they do not appear to understand even simple language. . As a result, I have been eating nothing but worms for the last week and I cannot tell you how I yearn for a cropful of mosquitoes or a good poke of those small sweet black caterpillars. I heard Mumâ€"Mum talking to someone on the telephone yesterday and complaining that I had eaten 108 worms the day before; of course, I do not keep count of what I consume, but even if there were 108 worms, I must say that they were very small and tough, not the quality to which I am accustomed. However, I do not complain, but I cannot help wondering if I can train the adult female to go out into the garden in the evenings and leap across the grass, with her mouth open, catching insects. She has a large mouth and one or two excursions a night should keep me in insects for several meals. However, I doubt that she is much good at leaping ... * Crest Theatre Company Plans Tour Of Secondary Schools June Ist. It is now several days since I became the owner of human slaves and J feel that my comments and experiences may be of interest to other robins who come after me. (One likes to feel that one has contributed something worthwhile to the sum total of robin knowledge.) I will not harrow my readers‘ feelings by. describing the terrible vicissitudes which I endured with both courage and dignity in the days after my dedr mother got lost. That is, I have to assume that is what happened since she disappeared while giving me a flying lesson and she hasn‘t come back, so she must be lost because 1 certainly know where I am. After all, 1 should know if I were lost, should I not? I must mention albeit modestly that I do hold the Junior Robin Catkiller Record â€"one defeated cat is something of an accomplishment, but three (count ‘em) ferocious felines sent slinking away in abject conâ€" fusion is unbelievable. I am preparing a fascinating monograph on the subject, giving full details of my technique and adventures, but meantime I must point out that cats, although enormous and terrible, do not have much imagination. As they see it, a bird is supposed to either freeze in terror at their approach or make futile attempts to flee; there is no other way for a bird to behave from their point of view. I did neither, however, and therein lies the secret of my astoundâ€" ing success. On all three occasions, when I discovered that 1 was being stalked by a bloodthirsty tom (one was ginger, which u’t_ho dudliellt cat of all, as all robins know), I turned on the foe and flew straight at him, at low level, emitting bloodchilling squawks. This was enough to make the cat pause and while he was reorganizing his quite rudiâ€" mentary wits, I plummeted out of a low branch (in those days, I could only reach low branches) and diveâ€"bombed him, tweaking his tail with my beak and raking his mangey ears with my claws as I passed. I must admit that my first sortie almost ended in disaster since I was not at that time very experienced in coming in to a landing, either letting my undercarriage down too soon or too lateâ€"and as a result, I tripped and fell only & yard or two from the enemy, but by that time he had fled in the opposite direction . . . ah, I see my youngest slave approaching with a few vermiform offerings and I must not disappoint her. She is the one who calls me Straggler, which I find endearing even if rather familiar . . . . _ June 2nd. The important thing to remember about slaves is that they are happy with their lot and mostly simpleâ€"minded creatures, pleased to minister to a kindly master. Too many robins assume that because humans are large and noisy and make things that they are superior. This is not necessarily s0; it is true that robins do not make anything, but it seems to me that this is sufficient. In fact, avian superiority is shown by the fact that they do not need to make anyâ€" thing. After all, if the Great Bird had wanted robins to make things, He would have given then opposable thumbs. My three slayes consist of one female adult (called Mumâ€"Mum, which sounds peculiar but is prob@bly a native name) and two girl children; a word of advice here, girl slaves are to be preferred to boy slaves who are often unpreâ€" dictable and do not keep their minds on their work. Male adult slaves are, generally speaking, quite unsuitable and can never be properly trained for such vital duties as worm digging, head stroking, fetching and carrying and so on. Also they are violently opposed to digging up the lawn for worms when other sources fail. They have a coarse sense of humor, which is unpleasant to a sensitive mind like mine; for example, the male slave who is called Daddy constantly refers to me as Strangler instead of Straggler, which I do not think is funny, though DIARY OF A LITERARY ROBIN â€"â€" Thursdoy, June 23, 1966 selected regional centres in order to accommodate as many students as possible.
