In Jhe Home Difference in 'Training', 'Education'| Clearly-Explained to King St. H. & On Tuesday evening .ir. E. G. Higgins, B.A, B. Paed,, Principal of Cedar Dale School, addressed a large number of interested parent, on the occasion of "Open House" at King Street School, when he chose as his subject "Observations on Edu- cation for Modern Living. Introduced by Mr. D. J. Railton of the teaching staff, Mr. Higgins defined 'Modernity" with respect to education as meaning "Con- temporary in Spirit" and s ted that in this regard much of the think- ing done by the ancients applied to modern educational system It is a question not of date but of outlook." Mr. Higgins differentiated between "Training" and "Education," and described training as instruction in techniques--as reading, writing, spel- ling and special techniques of the age-- all pre-requ'sites on which to build successfully. 'Education," he * said, "is the cultural heritage of our civilization; as the Greeks ; it it-- * the achievement of human excel- lence, where there is justice, beauty, and progress upward to a higher ' Jjevel of behaviour habits--a belief in the long-term improvement of the human race--the old Jewish outlook to do the will of God. These things will be brought about only through the process of e:.ucation, and the people who hold these beliefs will carry the tradition of. civiliza- tion from one generation to the next." Along with the high ideal of ed- ucation, the speaker observed that in time of national crisis, people were more aware of eternal values and less concerned with the tangibles and there usually came about a return to religion and a return to education--a sort of death-bed re- pentance by returning to the church and a bulwark for the future in de- sir. to raise the standard of edu- cation. As examples of this Mr. Higgins referred to the English Edu- cation Act of 1944, conceived in a time of crisis, the hopes of which had not been realized on account of the economic situation; and the Hope Report in Ontario which to date has apparently been pigeon- holed. At a cost of $650,000 and appar- ently 'a still-born child--he urged that Home and School Associations influence public opinion in order that many of its recommendations might be implemented. With the Ontario Education Association and Ontario Home and School Associa- tion Convention inthe offing this was a timely observation. When no national crisis exists, there is a weakness in the trend which tends to live in the externals --as building new schools--for which a tangible increase in the' tax bill is held up to solve the con- science of the public. The speaker warned against the crowded cur- riculum which produces intellectual slums--where the student does not learn the true meaning of knowl- edge, but rather, becomes half-ed- ucated and is far more dangerous than an ignorant man. He pointed out that the school is the product of the society from which it springs and advocated the study of the soclal sciences in order to meet the problems of life in this complex civilization. In conclusion, he quoted Ruskin, "Education is not to teach us to know that which we do not know, but to behave as we do not behave." Mr. Higgins was thanked by Mr. Gordon Attersley. Mrs. J. D. Tane presided and rou- tine business included the appoint ment of a nominations committee composed of Mrs. J. G. Brough, Mrs. John Chamberlain, Mrs. Meredith Moffatt and the president. A study |' group was announced for March 7 at the school when "Health and Health Habits" will be discussed.
