Fhe Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. 5, Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Monday, February 9, 1959 Minister Of Education In A Time Of Violence ri i's a good thing tha! the Kitchener school board has come to the defence of bne of the city's school principals, The principal, Harold Wildfong, took 80 grade eight pupils to a session of the aseizes in Kitchener, It happened to be the second day of a hearing of a mur~ ddr case, When he heard about it, Edu« Pon Minister Dune, severely criti= ciged the principal, said he was horri- figd by the incident and expressed the opinion that murder trial, particularly ode so "grisly," was the last place he'd take a group of children As it happens, this was not the first tigne that grads eight students had been taken to the assizg¥~n Kitchener, They go there each yedr, as the school board cllairman pointed out, "as part of the cdurse in elvies , , , to learn about the operation of a court of law." He added that "this is a properly supervised ex« perience, subject tdr on what they have learned." Schools int several communities follow the same practice 'What the minister opstrated by his attack to classroom tests la of education dem=~ on Mp, Wild« sedative than a stimulant to youngsters who are growing up in a world that seems to worship violence a world in which thé leaders of great nations boast about the power of their weapons to destroy, in which the most popular sports demand roughness as much as skill, and in which one of the most pop~ ular forms of entertainment spends hours each day glorifying the fast gun, the quick knife and the hard fist, That a minister of eddcation should apparently lack such understanding is rather disturbing. It means that his thinking is adjusted to life as it was lived 20, 30 or 40 years ago -- scarcely the intellectual climate for a person whose job it is to We concerned about the education needs of today and to- morrow, It may be, of course, that Dr, Dunlop wanted to start people thinking about this particular use of teaching time jut If that was so, he could have di. rected attention to the principle of court attendance by school children, rather than attendance at a particular heaging. But then he would have been criticizing a course of $mstruction which fang was his lack of .undse#inding of Vigey has his approval li tHe environment in which today's chil- deen are growing up, It would be a aly trial indeed that cou!d come close td matching what the children are ahle to watch any evening on televi Two or three hours of listening In a court of about an pce could be considered more of a 101 ldw to testimony act of vio id he suggested that the principle needed re-examination, he could have started a brisk and woithwhile contro versy, But the manner of his_criticism forces one the opinion that he is simply out of touch with the social con= which the department he heads Is operating to ditions in Idea For Winter Work The federal and Ontario governments ate spending huge sums of money in attempts to alleviate winter unemploy- ment, Winter works projects are being pushed, 'do It now" campaigns are be- ing publicized and so on.

With industrial and population growth in southern Ontario, the dropping of the water table and the search for new sources of supply were inevitable, At the same time, we have been wasteful, We have greatly contributed tothe de 'crease in water by polluting rivers and lakes forests, by indiscriminate destruction and by draliing of swafnps, Trees and marshes are nature's instru- ments for slowing up the run-off of rain and melting snow for protecting water from evaporation, and for hoard- ing the water in the soil, : Conservation authorities- have begun the slow and often thankless task of repairing some of the destruction.
