OHIO Manchurian mom IAIIII um WKWALLS CHANGES INGIIDUCATION WILL AFFECT TEACHERS One of the most notable changes in educa tion system of Ontario as announced by Hon Dana Porter willvbe to place greater onusl on the school teacher Although the schooll teacher has had tremendous responsibility in the past the obligation in the future will be multiplied In the larger elementary schools it has been the custom for one teacher to handle only one grade pupil who passed regularly would have eight different teachers as he progressed through public school The new system will provide for one teacher to look after pupils in the primary division and the average pupil will spend three years ill this class Then after three years in primary class the pupil will advance to the junior class where he will spend the next three years with another teacher In the past parents and school trustees too have had their own peculiar methods of judging the teacher Generally speaking if the children were able to earn promotions and also liked the teacher the parents and trusl tees were satisfied It has only been Oil rare occasions that teachers have been commend ed for their services However the school teacher will now as sume much more important status in our community teacher having the custody of child for three years will certainly be in position to exert lifetime influence on the pupil Parents will be more anxious than in the past to ensure that their children have good teachers And there will be greater ap preclation of the serviCe of the teacher in the community There was danger that the one room country school was being legislated out of ex isterice by township school areas The object was to have larger schools with improved facilities But the advantages of having one teacher take care of pupils over period of years will now be restored This country school idea will now be adOpted in many of the larger urban schools Most school boards will probably move slowly in putting these new changes into ef fect AlthOugh the Department of Education has not yet enacted legislation providing for the altered program Hon Dana Porter is hoping to enlist the cooperation of few local school boards in adopting the new pro gram It begins to appear that the education sys temin Ontario has come to turning of th my Wsa ways Although several changes have been announCed these enhancing the status of teachers Will probably have as much interest for the parents as all the other changes com bined gt it CHANNEL SWIMMING MAKES GOOD READING Most readers of The Barrie Examiner

labor to the fact that the world is getting into lot of trouble because too many peOple re fuse to face facts or whether there is some other and more mysterious reason it is fact that within the last few days there have been two statements madeto organized labor whichfstrike note quite out of keeping with most of the discussion of public affairs in democracies in recent years Tlle American Federation of Labor issued bulletin recently ill which it suggested to workers that it was their duty to help their employers to keep the cost of production down and to be ready to help improve your companys competitive position as basis for wage increase This is very different from most of the leadership given organized labor in recent years There is no note here of trying to make labor rich by making employers poor or of trying to increase employment by raising prices or anything of that sort It is the good oldfashioned sort of economies which far mers used to talk around village stores generation ago Then no less person than the Prime Min ister of Canada the Right Honorable Louis St Laurent invited to address the Annual Convention or the Canadian Congress of La bor not only accepted but seized the oppor tunity to point out to the representatives of organized workers in Canada that one cer tain road to unemployment would be for the wages of Canadian workers to rise to such point that Canadian products were priced out of world markets Here once again is something startling Here is something which the Canadian peOple have not heard from their leaders for long time Here is oldfashioned common sense once again being substituted for fancy econ omic theories It is not very comforting to realize that both these statements come as shock to the public It is somewhat alarming to remember that plain statement of plain truths has ceased to be current in the discussion of pub lic affairs It is not pleasant to know that simple talk of this sort is actually shocking at present What is pleasant what is encouraging is to note that this sort of talk is being used that there are labor leaders and political fig ures who have the courage to get up and tell their constituents the plain simple truth Incidentally it seems quite likely that this courage is not going to damage the interests of the American Federation of Labor nor make the Liberal Governmentunpopular in Canada The people of the democracies have lost confidence in their leadersjust because of this failure to tell the plain truth They will not be reassured by remarks of this sort They will be induced to think WW

supposed to one of the deepest mysteries of lab Finance We have been told that only bankers nance minis ters and thoseengagcd in world commerce can understand and grasp all its ramifications What does the average man or particu larly the average housewife know about high finance And yet there is moremist than mystery about it The housewife knows great deal about low nance in making ends meetzwith her limited income She knoWs that when the prices of Emmbdities go up the value of her dollar goes down her dollar is autOmatically devalued That is how explained it to housewife who asked me What is all this talk in the newspapers about devaluation My answer may have been alloversimplifica tion of the recent nancial crisis in Britain But the problem faced by Sir Stafford Cripps in drawing Halancingvhis budget was essentially domesticbne When tireparty couple or weeks ago thecdailymress Mysteries Of Devaluation Gleave it was announced that Sir Stafford had devalued the pound sterling most people naturally assumed that he had by that act reduced its value But the real value of the pound had already been re duced at home as well as abroad and all that Sir Stafford did was to acknowledge the fact officially There never was time when the British workerhad so much money in his pocket than he has todayand yet there never was time when he could buy so little with pound The purchasing power of pound note as of dollar bill depends upon the prices of goads and that power falls or rises with the uctuations of the markets The prices of goods are determined by the cost of produc tion and servicing plus all kinds of taxes In Britain the costs of production servicing and taxation are at an alltime high In addi tion the Government has by its export policy created shortage of homemade commodities which BARBIE ONTARIO cans MW www Gateway to Fuhgoveroignllg tends still further to raise pricesl and lower the purchasingpowerators gt of the money in the peoples pock ets Thus the process of devaluation has been accelerated by every at tempt made to arrest or reng it Economic planning which calls for controls of industry and the ration ing of raw materials and household cOmmodities created disoontent among the workers which has re sulted in unoicial strikes and de mands for higher and higher wages Nationalization in itself was cost ly undertaking and the extension of free public services bonuses and subsidies added to government ex penditures and taxation However good the intentions of the Labor Gover ent may have been the launchi of such vast and costly program of experiment ation was bound to be financially disastrous at time When the na tions resources had been exhaust ed by the greatest of all wars An impoverished nation any more than poor man cannot afford to gamble with its meagre resources on atheoretical prbposition That is what the Labor Government has done and it appears to have im parted the gambling spirit to the workers who have sb far forgotten their socialistic ideals of equality that every man is trying to get rich quick and lord it over his neighbor Whatever government had come into power after the war it would have been faced with stupendous task in rebuilding the natibns peacetime industries and recover ing its lost world tradeand com merce Britain was already on the verge of bankruptcy at the close of the war and if it had not been for the material and financial sup port given by the UnitEd States and Canada the British people might have starved Now after four years of intensive economic and industrial planning Britain on Sir Stafford Cripps own admission is nearer bankruptcy than War The only hope it seems to me is that the British people wlgl away from oneclass government and recruit all their political
