Back from the holidays of the summer boys and girls 'have returned to the classroom. For the ~ next ten months their lives. are going to be pretty well circumscribed by the four walls of the classroom and what goes on ~d in them. Education has always been of singular ~~ importance to our society but with the upsurge of our technocracy that import- ance has been magnified. Although the 'population of the United States has stead- {ily increased, even rapidly increased in the past five years, the size of the labour force has actually dropped. - Each year sees fewer and fewer opportunities for those who have failed to profit from their schooling." This year in the large urban centres fe __..__boys and girls eighteen and nineteen years. } EN BE O of age were seeking to be re-admitted to the first year of high school. The reason was not hard to discover. They couldn't get work. They had learned through bit- ter experience that there just weren't jobs sieve and just as senseless. But the French put. their faith in the Maginot Line and if there are those who really believe that an improvised shelter will be a sane- tuary for them if hell comes to our earth in the form of atomic warfare who is to gainsay them? ' Unfortunately, many parents bring their children up with the idea that educa- "tion is something like a nasty medicine. It is something that is given to you. You make a wry face and take only as much of it as you have to. i Nobody can give you an education. It is something that you get by working for it. The teacher doesn't educate you. He simply provides the opportunity for you to learn. The pupil who is unwilling to make a real effort to get his schoolwork doesn't learn very much. The opportunities for getting a really good education were never better. But unless the pupil really wants to get an education; unless he is really prepared to work to get it, the opportunities might just as well not be there. This is so ob- "vious that it seems rather stupid to point it out. Yet it is amazing the number of students who have not yet realized it. And these students are the ones who drop out before the year is over or before their course is completed. There will be a Dorcas conference at in September 1962.
