Harry Black, representative of the local Parent-Teachers' Council, and A. Bruce Brown, representing the district school board. The addresses were Interspersed between entertainment offerings by groups from five city schools. The whole program was directed at acquainting parents and other adults with the operation of the modern school system and arousing their sustained Interest in It. The problem of modern educa tion, as seen by Alan M. Hurst, is that of "humanizing" man to show him that spiritual values are genuine and permanent. He stressed the fallacy of attempting to "overcrowd" the curriculum and thus reducing education to a "smattering" of knowledge whose importance cannot be assessed by the "In education as In housing. overcrowding brings Ill-health," he asserted. "Overcrowding prevents a pupil from learning what knowledge Is. It gives a smattering of superficial facts. Smatterings are Interesting but their uses are limited, By overcrowding the curriculum, you make the school an intellectual slum." "Any good education must be narrow," he continued. "I submit that education should send the pupils out into life knowing thoroughly something that is In itself first rate, knowing how to learn and be' interested in iife. "To do this, the school should have a basic subject or subjects that the pupil will know and, as a result, know what knowledge is. He must be brought lace to face with the great things tu life and in the history of man. NoMilng educates likq the vision of greatness, and education without it is poor and Incom-; plete." P.-T.

Coroner Is Criticized VANCOUVER. CD Criticism of a coroner's Inquest at Powell River into the Gulf Stream disaster, which cost five lives on October 1L was made ln Admir? alty Court by Mr. Justice Sidney Smith. "It seems an attempt was made to turn it into an inquisition," His Lordship said at the opening of an inquiry by the Department of 'Transport. The judge asked that a protest be sent to Attorney General Gordon Wlsmer. "It seems to us that the coroner's duty was to Inquire into the deaths and not into the cause of the accident," he said, expressing the belief that the coroner's court had exceeded its duties. At Powell River the Jury returned a verdict placing "Immediate blame" for the wreck on Second Mate Ray Ketchum who was ln charge of the motor vessel when she crashed Into Dinner Rock. Allegations of heavy drinking aboard the Gulf Stream were denied today by the evidence of passengers and crew. They testified that neither Capt. J. E.
