The thing for boys and girls to do is to learn the facts about everything worthwhile," de- clared Rotarian Wesley J. Salter of St. Catharines in his address at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club in Hotel Genosha yes- terday. Speaking on the subject, "Some False Shibboleths in Education" Rotarian Salter made a plea for a return to fundamentals in educa- tion, "I think that when you go to school you should go to learn things, If there is any time left for other things that is all right, | but there must be uniformity," he declared. Introduced by his brother-in-g law, Rotarian S. F. Everson, the | speaker recalled that during his at- tendance at the Oshawa High School the staff consisted of Prin- cipal Smith and four other teach- ers. His remarks, backed by 41 | years experience in the educational | field, were loudly applauded by his audience. The thanks of the meet- ing were voiced by Rotarian A, E. O'Neil, principal of the. Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute. Must Attain Proper Place "I have a feeling," he declared, | | "that we should have education | | half way between the Nazi form of | | education and discipline, which | | was diabolic and vicious, and the | | easy-going type of education which | seems to be growing in democratic | countries, which would attain the | proper plane of discipline and edu- | | cation.

Decrying the | many new classifications into | je education has been broken | down, Mr. Salter said he liked to | think of a school as a study centre. | While all right in their pgpper | | place, too much social welfare and social service is creeping into to- day's schools.
