Published by © NOTES AND COMMENTS YOUR HOME AND MINE Our roots as a nation are all planted 'deep in the home. nation without a large majority of healthy, wholesome homes. Recently a survey of well-adjusted chil- dren was carried on in the United States and although the children came from all kinds of homes as far as the professions of the par- ents were concerned there were a number of points in common in those homes. They found for instance that all these well- adjusted children were taught to take some responsibility in their own home; that the parents had an attitude of accepting re- sponsibility gladly and that family co-opera- tion was part and parcel of their daily life. We tend today to give our children too little responsibility in our own homes. There is no wood to chop or water to carry. Our homes run easily, for the most part, with We cannot have a healthy _ little help on the part of our children. There- fore it is important to teach them to do other kinds of chores suitable to our lives today. We can, for instance, realize that the whole family cannot go on a picnic easily unless we share the jobs of loading the car, making... sandwiches, closing up the house. We can even. teach children today to do jobs that - take a good deal of community knowledge. They. are taught so many more actual facts of business in our'schools today that.we can safely send. them to the bank or on small - shopping errands at an early age. Another fact uncovered by the survey .was that these well-adjusted children were kind to their classmates and teachers that they had a healthy happy interest in their school and that they were liked and respected by their teacher and their own friends. We have no problems in our community which do not stem however indirectly from the home in the beginning. Our schools and churches, however great their influence on our lives can only do so much. If our chil- dren are not well-adjusted we owe it to our- --selves- to examine our own way of life at home as-well as the institutions in our com- Vi munity. What kind of a child are you send- ing to school? Do you ever send yout child to church or Sunday School? Let us remember. that the great principle of good; living can anly be willed out where there .is intelligent co- operation among the three organizations of. the home, the school, and the church. te A TRIBUTE TO OURSELVES Self-criticism is more than a healthy symptom of growing up; it's a necessity to any form of human development. - That is why we are so pleased with the Massey Re- port of the Commission inquiring into the condition of the Arts, Letters and Seipuces of our country. We become quite self-conscious when we talk of Canadian culture for up to the pub- . lishing of this report we weren't quite sure that there was a body of culture which we might justly label Canadian. This 530 odd page report is quite tangible proof that there does exist a thing which is Canadian culture . . and much of that which constitutes it is quite worthy of the splendid people we sincerely strive to be. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has contributed largely to this phase of our" life; our painting ranks favourably in vigour and achivement with other and older coun- tries; our litéfature in spite of little or no encouragement. has shown marked growth which warrants much more support than we have hitherto seen fit to give it. - The de- velopment of the 'ballet' in this country has been quite remarkable and so the growth of drama. However, education, particularly at the adult level, the lack of a national museum or a national art gallery evoked criticism clear and direct. In these areas we are far behind most countries in the world. We are lacking too in a proper respect for our historical - sites and the treatment of them has been superficial and inadequate. The fact that 'we have no national library caused the com- mission real concern. _ i Two things are required of us. d&irst, that the-government, which is us indirectly, lend greater aid to the Arts; secondly, that we as a people take steps to see that our most talented young people are not driven by necessity to seek food and shelter in the more receptive lands that lies to the south of us.
