No bargain basement

“Prom Dr, W, P. Percival, former deputy:
minister of education for -Quebee, come some
exceptionally timely. and commonsense views

about the role of education in Canadian society,

“Dr, Percival is no doctrinaire theorist. Te
does not:hold. with the view that. equality of
educational opportunity will produce equal re-
suits In a classroom of pupils, —

.“We know,” he says, “that on this, North
American continent we have about 7 per cent
of people who are witra clover and about. the.
same proportion at the other end of the scale.
We know that only about 30 per cent ‘of our
people have IQs of the minimum required .to
perform work of good college grade, This lenves
no leas than 70 por cent who do not have that
; ability. "

‘ © ¥

It is clear from what Dr, Porelval saya
that he believes egalitarianism in the aocinllat
sonse {8 juat plain nonsense:so far ‘ns. educi-
tion is concerned, And he $s. right,

-A large proportion of Cannda's educational
resources are wasted in futile attempts to force
higher education on many who are quite un-
aulted by nature to benefit from it,. Indeed,
ne Dr, Porclval points out, many of mankind's

truly great had neither the opportunity nor
tho attitude for learning in tholr schooldayh,
But Inter they turned out to be mon of genius,

“Trouble is, as this eminent Canndlan edu-

cator points out, that people have been Jed to

expect far tao: muah of education, have ‘een.

dagaled by talk about high IQs, and have wholly
ignored tho fact. that na succesaful fe depands
an other qualities na wol], Among other quo-.
tlants noted by: Dr. Peralval aro the EQ, ‘or |
etnotional quotient, the. AQ, or:
tlent, the MQ, or moral quotient, and the 8Q,
or commonsense . quotiont, —

attituda. quoe.

- Academic priliianee “undoubtedly has its
place in the scheme of things. but a ,atable,
progressive society also needs people who ape
emotionally stable, morally sound, with a ren)-
istic attitude towards Hfe and possessed of
sound commonsense, ©

To expect the school to assume exclusive
responsibility for instilling and developing such
qualities in the. nation’s youth is sheer non-
sense, Parents, religious leaders, and lenders
in. public life have an enormous responsibility
fis well to ‘teach, by instruction and example,

Unhappily, in the realm of politics, false
economic values are oftentimes set up, whieh
when necepted by the nation at large can lead
only to disiivsionment. and disaster.
