(Daylight Saving Time) FRANK STIRTEVANT Auctioneer, 33 HALL STREET, OSHAWA (96¢) Garb Too Depressing The blackboard, according to a Ministry of Education report, is on its way out, relates the Times of London. It has been foundto exert a depressing effect upon the stud- ent, and is being replaced by the "chalkboard", which will be tinted in one of nine bright colors and may be made of cork, sand-blasted glass, or various other alternatives {of wood, | This humane and long - overdue reform has come, for most of us, {a little late in the day, but regrets |are bootless, | NOT AN ALIBI It is not only idle but unmanly to attribute the paucity of our soul-destroying influence of the | blackboard. Even if our first ac- |quaintance with the Greek alpha- bet had been made against a back- ground of puce cork, it is by no means certain that we should to- day be a Fellow of All Souls. We | must not envy the younger genera- tion because they enjoy advantages that were denied to us; we can only hope that they will make the best of them. The ministry's report makes it clear that pupils respond favour- ably to gay colors in the classroom. "A greater degree of cleanliness {and carefulness follows automatic- |ally," it says; and it seems a little (odd that its recommendations in this connection should have been limited to the sphere of interior de- coration. What is the good of hav- ing a bright blue blackboard if the pedogogue who uses it (and who in almost every case is a larger and more conspicuous object than the board itself) continues to be en- veloped in a long black gown? The attention of the class is, after all, focused upon the blackboard only intermittently; upon the person of their teacher it is, or should be riveted throughout. DRAB OLIGARCHS How can a young lad of sensi- | bility and refinement be expected {to get the best out of his school- days if they are dominated by an oligarchy as subfuse as that which invigilates over most of our oldest educational establishments? Boys gaze with awe and admiration at the vivid if not garish blazers in which their mentors appear upon the playing-fields. Ought not some- thing to be done to bring their hab- iliments in the classroom into line with some at least of the 47 colors included in what (according to this report) is known as the Archrome (Munsell) Range? Ostentatious finery should be avoided as sternly as mere sense- {less titivation. Nobody suggests {that the mathematics master should wear purple brocade, or the history master put on doublet and hose of Lincoln green. It would cost too much, for one thing. But it would not cost a great deal to replace those dreary black gowns with dominoes in pleasing pastel shades: {and the French master might per- haps round off his costume with one of those little conical top hats. It certainly seems pointless to jazz {up the blackboards and leave the {pedagogue in his sable shroud sticking out of the dainty, refresh- ing color-scheme like a prune in a helping of fruit salad.

Years ago, Dr. David Fairchild, famous plant explorer, gave some two-by-six-inch + Zanonia macro- carpa seeds to his friend Dr. Alex- ander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, says the National Geographic Society. At the time Dr. Bell was engaged in flight re- search with Samuel P. Langley of the Smithsonian Institution. SEEDS WERE STABLE Dr. Bell and Langley tried the seeds in flight and found them ex- ceedingly stable. The stability was due to upswept wings -- they call them "dihedral" wings these days -- so the two men built their gliders with this characteristic. Among these early models were the Lang- ley powered "aerodromes", now on display in the Smithsonian in Wash- ington. Unfortunately, all these gliders were so stable that controls, for other than steering purposes, were considered unnecessary. Hence the Wright brothers, seeking plenty of maneuverability, turned to a flat wing, very unstable but control- lable, At the same time, they re- tained the important Zanonia prin- sipie of flexibility. he Germans had a similar ex- perience in the days of World War I. They built their first military heavier-than-air craft, the Taube or Helped Break Sonic Barrier "Dove," with a modified Zanonm wing. It had a tail, which the Zan- onia does not. It was safe in ord- inary flight, but maneuvered so slowly that Allied Spads and Nieu- ports with straight wings, danger- ous to fly, defeated it in combat. BUILT TAILLESS SHIPS After the first war, nothing much was heard about the Zanonia wing until the 1930's, when an Austrian scientist, Dr. Alexander Lippisch, decided to have another try with it. He built tailless gliders and alle wing wered ships with wingtip controls, the latter a workable sub- stitute - for the flexibility of the seeds. Dr, Lippisch added the Wright principle of lateral controlg to the stable Zanonia wing, and the result was a fast plane which could loop and stunt, Another Zanonia char- acteristic -- the sweptback wing -- was added to absorb the shock waves of the sound barrier. There emerged the tailless, rocket-power- ed German ME-163A which flew 625 miles an hour in 1941 and was the first aircraft to enter the tran- sonic speed zone. The list of fast aircraft using the Zanonia's principles today is a long one. Familiar examples are the Navy's Delta wing -- tailless -- fighters F7U and F4D, the Air Force's F-86 Sabre, the B-47 jet bomber with wings so flexible they droop when the plane is on the field, and the Russian MiG-15. All follow principles Nature de- vised eons ago in the wonderful wings of 3 squash plant seed. (Great Changes Foreseen By Automotive Industry Many an earlier day skeptic pre- dicted that the 'gasoline buggy' would 'never amount to anything. The automotive industry proved those doubters wrong, and much more is yet to come, according to on es automobile manufacturing leader. 3 "We should not have to wait many years to see ge changes in our cars," James C. Zeder, vice- president and director of engineer- ing of the Chrysler Corp., said in a recent speech. 'Certainly we shall see power steering become nearly universal in passenger cars and at a modest cost," he declared. 'The air in the car of the future may be condi- tioned in winter or summer, with built-in heating and cooling sys- tems surpassing anything now known . . . 'Electrical power in abundance may become available to perform everything from locking the door to warming the glass in the wind- shield and windows in winter. The car may ride on tires that will last a normal car's lifetime , . . Brake linnings lasting a normal car's life- time are quite conceivable. "Engines will grow smaller more rugged and economical, and at the same time their power out- put will increase. Engine power will be transmitted to the wheels through completely automa- tic means and possibly by trans- missions unlike anything used in cars today. "Your car, not many years away will carry you in a kind of silence and comfort and satety that we can only imagine today," he prom- ised. The study reported that 59 mil- lion American adults use passen- ger cars daily; that more than half of all employed persons use passenger cars in part for earning their living. The researchers found that more than 16 million cars in use are old" cars -- nine years or more. The average farmer's car had 41,800 miles on its speedometer, while the typical car in metropoli- tan areas had clicked off only 41,000 miles. The average farmer travels 10,020 miles yearly against 8,570 by the average large city motorist. Classrooms Jammed In Britain A greater part of English educa- tion is built on primary school classes too large to be properly taught, writes a Times of London correspondent, Figures from Bel- fast, which is not under the British Ministry of Education, will break no bones, but they illustrate excel- lently what also happens here. A recent piece of research in the primary schools there showed that 80 per cent of the most intelligent children were behind in reading, spelling and arthmetic. This was caused, so the report goes, by the largeness of classes, which meant that the cleverest children went at a pace much slower than their ability. BASIC TRAINING When boys or girls enter the sec- ondary school they are meant to be masters of the tools of their trade, and to be able to read, write, and sum efficiently. If they cannot, they will not make the most of their opportunities. It is difficult to recover wasted years, The early afterwar hopes of the ministry of education have been disappointed. Before 1950 it was planning for improved staffing standards in spite of the expected great increase in primary school numbers. The early estimates of teachers® likely to be available in 1950 and 1951 and of classrooms in new schools that were to have been provided have both been proved wrong. Far from improving standards, the ministry has had to let them deteriorate over the last year and there may be no improvement until late in 1954. The odds against any improvement are set by the num- bers of children in the primary schools. The large afterwar birth rate will raise numbers from 4,000,- 000 in January, 1951, to 4,731,000 in 1956. This is an increase of 18 per cent. There will be a decline in the late fifties, but in 1960 nearly half a million more children than in 1951 will still be in the primary schools. By then, of course, the main concern will be the plight of the secondary schools. FOUR-YEAR SPAN The figures will mount after this fashion for the five to 10-year-olds: 1952 1953 1954 1955 37,046 40,500 41,800 42,450 Liv-p'l 76,411 82,182 85,422 87,328 So'end 11,176 12,42 513,023 13,269 The large class is chiefly found in 'towns. National averages are little guide to local conditions. There are thousands of classes in the country with less than 16 chil- dren and thousands with more than 45. In 1951 the actual percentage of classes in England and Wales with 'over 40 pupils was 26.8. The figure is found now to be rather worse and will improve, at the earliest, only after twb or three years. The inevitability is supplied by the fate of the ministry's plans for buildings and teachers. Between 1950 and 1952 213,910 {places were provided in 753 new | primary and secondary schools; re- Bristol airs and extensions to old build- ngs brought the number of places up to 341,750. But as by the end of two years there were over 400,000 more children, it is easy to see the amount of makeshift ac- commodation, parish halls and the like, that had to be used. TEACHERS SUPPLY The ministry's estimatees in 1948 of the number of teachers to be available in 1952 came to the op- timistic total of 233,000. Last year's reality was 221,000 actually employed. These are general figures. Con- ditions ' need to be seen on the ground, inside the local education authorities. For this article, a sur- vey was made of 13 representative authorities covering between them 400,000 children of primary school age, one-tenth of all in England and Wales, Middlesbrough shows urban dif- ficulties at a stage approaching their worst. At present, before the 20 per cent increase in numbers by 1955, the average size of primary classes is more than 38, and nearly half of all classes in the town hold more than 40. Some of them are in hired halls, three even in medi- cal inspection rooms. MAKESHIFT ROOMS Directors of education * have properly a keen dislike of make- shift school rooms, but many are having to use them, Church halls have been borrowed, nursery have been borrowed, nursery classes closed to make room, and one au- thority has had to teach children in miners' welfare institutes. These expedients underline a point made by almost all the direc- tors of education consulted. They ascribe their failure to keep down the size of classes not so much to want of teachers--which the min- ister of education has said is the main factor--as to want of room. If there were more teachers, there is at present nowhere to put them. "By and large," said one di- rector, 'our problem is one of ac- commodation and not of staffing." "The building program," said an- other, 'is approximately two and a half years behind schedule." Beet Growers Much Happier STRATFORD (CP)--It's the best news we've had in a long time," a spokesman for the Stratford District Sugar Beet Growers' As- sociation said Thursday when he heard that Cuba has banned ex- ports of refined sugar to Canada. Wilfred Brockman said the news "should have a wonderful effect on Sugar beet acreage in the prov- nce." Gross value of Canada's aircraft and parts industry in 1951 reached $117,188,000, double the 1950 output. STAFFORD BROS. MONUMENTAL WORKS 318 DUNDAS ST.
