veriisement in daily newspapers ur rng public support for secondary ool principals Dr Felker general secretary of the Federation claimed that beard hair and skirt styles in Ontario high schools are clearly under the control of the principals We have the power The principal is in supreme charge of the schoo The advertisement claimed that there is revolt against all forms of authority within our society today aggravated by sensational reporting by the mass media It may have been in Dr Felkers mind that the supreme authority he spoke of is not as supreme as all that He might very well have been thinking of the recent incident involving News market schoolboy who was suspended by his principal because of his beard but was reinstated by thelocal board of education Perhaps he thinks that ad vertising for support from the public will help to offset the power of school boards but what he forgets is that school boards are composed of elected representatives of the public and that principals and teachers are subject to the school boards Mr Felker admitted that teachers and principals are afraid of student power as well as outside influences affecting our studentsposslbly another slap at the mass media For Marvin Goodman psychologist who has been specializing in behaviour problems in schools the students are less of collective problem thanthe principals He claims that re fusing to go cleanshaven or with short hairis nonsense Are schools in existence to pass on style asked Mr Goodman What kind of values do we havethat we are waist in time on nonsense like thisii Goodmanthinks he knows the reasons for this nonsense He claims tirat the way we train teachers is at rocious because they never learn how to understand their students as people as individuals they dont teach the teachers how to understand the effects they have another peo le or about the efiects other people The result of this is that when young people wear beards long hair and short skirts the teachers and principals blow in harm team 12 Publiehed by amino wnaeprniinrm 1e Hayfield Strut latrt creme ave on them up because they interpret thesethings as challenges to their precious authority Actually as Mr Goodman emphasized these are just fashions fads and do not necessarily denote defiance As he point ed out all of these fashions have come and gone through all recorded history Dr Felker was dead right however when he said that the schools are faced today by revolt against authority He was wrong in blaming sensationalism on mass media Modern communications have made it inevitable that emotions engendered in one part of the world on sufficient scale will be shared al most instantly everywhere else Authoritarianism in all its forms is under fire today in every part of the world People are sick of being told what to do they are sick of social usages which are based on outdated cohcepts and which bind them in thousand ways And young people are sick of the assumption of educators that they have right to do anything but educate The interference of teachers and principals in the private lives of those they are supposed to instruct is the issue in the schools and has brought forth aIrebellion which will not be settled by arrogant suppression the Kingston Whig Stan dard asserts Down MEMORY LANE 40 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner Nov 1928 Con oner Dr Norman Rogers convened in

12000 post offices across Canada revert to selling the definitive stamp CHEAP T0 DESIGN PannierGeneral Kierans replied to Mr Harltness that the new definitive five cent dump was designed in conjunc tion with the one two three and four cent stamp of the some series at total cost of $3400 The acid printing will depend upon how long it remains in use but like its cheaper red brother the four cent stamp it will lose pride of place with the advent of the six cent postage Eric but an average commemorative costs about 310000 to print and $700 to design Thus two dozen nickel steonpr which sell for

grave in bear full public disclosure West German authorities have tended to concentrate public at tention on the theft frbm NATO air base of Sidewinder missile which was brazenly transported by car and then alrfrelgbted to Moscow but the evidence suggests there is for more than missile theft at stake For ethple Rear Admiral Hermann Lucd ke who apparently committed suicide early in October was
