(Osawa, Wikis, published by Tideslessts Publishers, Lmitg 'South, Oshawa, Ontario Planning Ahead For Future Educational Needs Of City Some pointed advice in connection with school administration was contained in an address by Percy Muir, school adminis- - trator for York Township, the other day. He was speaking to a meeting of school trustees. His remarks dealt with how to go about building new schools. Mr. Muir set forth four principles which he considered important. First came the planning of the best type of schools for the community. Second was to carry out an active public relations problem. Next was to forecast what the future school needs are going to be. Fourth and last, to buy up suitable sites for future schools. Set against this pattern, it is interest- ing to note how the Oshawa Board of Education measures up to the standard. We can say conscientiously that, in its re- cent and present building program, the local board has planned the best type of school for this community. They had all the frills trimmed off. They are serving very well the purpose for which they were built. When it comes to public relations, we are not sure how the board stands. We do know that it still closes the doors of its committee meetings to newspaper re- porters. It is at these meetings that mat- ters are discussed. If they were reported, the public would know much more about educational matters than is the case at present. We are satisfied, however, that the board is looking ahead to future school needs. Perhaps it has not been as active in securing school sites for the future as Mr. Muir would like. But it. does have an awareness of Oshawa's future school needs. It can be said, on the whole, that the Oshawa Board of Education is doing an excellent job for the people it serves. Periods Of Crisis Promote Science The progress of science has been given a big impetus as a result of the wars which have broken out around the world. That is the belief of Dr. C. J. Mackenzie who was the closing speaker at the recent annual meeting of the Engineering Insti- tute 'of Canada. And undoubtedly Dr. Mackenzie js quite right. Certainly what we have learned in the past 15 years has been largely the result of the war, and one might well attempt to yuastion why this is so. --. Wartime is a time of emergency. It is a time when a nation is fighting for sur- vival, and that is when tbe inventive genius of the nation is brought to the fore to devise mew and better ways of carrying on the struggle. It may be said, in general terms, that a time of erisis does one of two things. Either it brings' out the best in a. person, or nation, or else it brings out thé worst. Fortunately for our land, and #s allies, the recent crisis has served to bring out the best. And that accounts for the tre- { mendous development in engineering skill which has marked the nation's progress. It is almost as though one could wish that there always was a time of crisis -- not the erisis such as we know it today from the cold war, but a real honest to goodness crisis when our backs are forced to the wall. If that is what makes a na- tion living and vital, we should have more of it. On the other hand, a less bellicose mo- tive for advance could serve the same purpose, and undoubtedly this is to be preferred. The fact of the matter is that wartime impetus creates but a temporary . flurry. What the world needs is a motive that has deeper roots, and will not dry up and die. It calls for a complete change of perspective, from crisis thinking to what can be termed peace thinking. The real motive should be found in the desire. to advance and progress: And we believe that such motivation can preduce equally great strides in science and skills, and what is more, they will be far more Jong- lasting. Psalmist's Message Of Courage i ie in menacing times that strong faith is most needed. The times in which we live, which have evolved weapons more and more devastat- ing, are assuredly menacing. But, reading or listening to detailed descriptions of the H-bomb tests, the im- presaive words of Psalm 46 bring courage: "Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the moun- tains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." In the light of recent developments, the words of the psalmist may seem grimly prophetic; but his message brings added assurance: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble." Majestically the impressive words roll on: Editorial Notes Some of Canada's natural resources are _ becoming so great that the problem is not so mich one of finding them as it is of knowing how to use them.

Bit Of Verse TO WALK BESIDE WATER . To walk beside water is to go water-shod; footloosely to slide along the unlevel flood. To walk near water is to lose the limits of road, liquidly to spread wander- and water-wide. To walk with water is to leave land and the hard margins of likelihood, is to take up with tide. ~Norma Farber. Bible Thoughts "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be Joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness." (Isaiah 64:6; 61:10.) Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness, My. beauty are, my glorious dress; "Midst flamming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shail I lift my head. =H. L. Zinzendorf (Tr. by J. Wesley).
