PRE: B. C. School - Trustees? Associa- |
Au! tion’ has ‘come up with the intrigu-.

ing notion. that’. segregation of’ the
sexes. at the junior high: school level is

. desirable becauseé«“girls. tend to dom-.

inate boys at this age level.”
thys

| ian One mga well. asksat what. age
1é¥el do: ‘girls, not dominate, boys? But,

trustees’ proposal, there is also a
g¢rious one and in some respects we
| think . there is considerable merit in
the: idea. that the standar. ds.of. learning
malgh’s well be improved if adolescents
‘ony beth sexes were separated during
. the classes, And perhaps not only at
the Jgnior high level but on up into the
sthion, grades.

cai Itgis one of the tragedies: of youth:

‘these days to see young boys—condi-
tioned hy TV, movies and reading mat-

ee ter into thinking the relation between —
oon the sexes is the only thing that counts
ore it this world—trying to play a role for
Which they are neither physically nor

a ifientally ready. Thus one sees boys of

ih -VIGTORIA—Premier Bennett was a ‘genial,
. tiling host as a government dinner to honor
7 Dr. W. A. McAdam, who. recently retired’.as
BIC. agent-general in London, after 30 years
-iIn British Columbia House, in the lower reaches

 

 

 SHler is a strict teetotaller,

Uf the teeming British capital’s famed Regent
Street, a stone’s throw ‘from Buckingham
Palace.

ty ‘Dr. and Mrs. McAdam are now living .in
Victoria. At the dinner .McAdam told. how
he had come to Vancouver Island im 1910 -as
a young Scottish immigrant. For a time he was
a'bank clerk, then a pen-pusher in a govern-
ment office. Though he loves London there's
really only one place he can call home—Van-
couver Island.

'. To the surprise of everyone, for. the pre-
and frowns. on
‘liquor at public events, two dinner wines were
served at the McAdam party, but there were
no cocktails and no Hqueurs. It was one of
the Empress Hotel’s best dinners—broijled filet
mignon, probably $7.50 a plate. But whatever
has happened to the dear old Empress? There
were no fingerbowls. Likely they only come
with a $10 a plate dinner. If fingerbowls ever
dsappear from the Empress that will be the
ana of everything.

‘Dr McAdam was a distinguished- -looking
honor guest. It's difficult to believe he's 69,
or anywhere. near it-—tall and slim, with silver-
wibite, hair. He could be a movie and stage
slar, ® matinee idol of 30 years ngo,. grown
der ¢ with grace and charm and a certain
courtliness, born of many years’ mingling with
Jords and ladies, dukes and duchesses in the
heart of Empire.

‘ Everyone paid tribute to McAdam’s work
far B.C, in London. One of his former hossea,
Herbert Anscomb, made the hit speech of
the eyening, Mr, Anscomb, when he was minis-~
ter of finance jin the Coalition government

You know,. there’s. no . ‘one like this man
Anscomb when it comes to. speech-making,

no matter where or.when or what the occasion...
He always knows what to say, and he says it:
with punch and -humor and brevity. and -a-

merry twinkle in his eye. What a pity it .is
that he’s no longer in our public life. However,
there are rumors that perhaps. he’ll. try for a
comeback. Something went out of our Legisla-
ture when. Herb Anscomb was defeated in 1952.

Sincet then. he has been living in his shell,

which is a great shame, for he has much’ to
offer to British Columbia, if only the people
will have him. © =

The premier said Dr, McAdam may think
he has retired, but that the government, after
he has had a.srest, will make plenty use of
him, one. way or another. That Hkely means
McAdam will be appointed to various govern-
ment boards of enquiry into this, and into
that. Governments like to have a man .of
McAdam's stature and popularity handy, bo

Manitoba. They see in the result in that pro-
