The Home of Good Shoei EDITORIALS VALUE OF UNIVERSITIES The worth of the universities, both to their students and to the general public, is being questioned today as never before. On all sides they are being challenged to show what contribution of value they make to the social en lightment of the Canadian people. Sir Robert Falconer, for twenty-five years the head of the University of Toronto, accepts the challenge in the spring issue of The Commerce Quarterly, nublhhed at the University of Western Ontario, writing "The Universities on Their Defence." Acknowledging that leading dailies in Ontario frequently print letters expressing the view that our present system of higher education is a faihire. Sir Robert Fal coner points out that the fundamental criticism is that the universities of Ontario have failed to create m their grad uates a proner sense of what they owe to the general mib- lic. especially in the wav of making higher standards of life and better ideals prevail among the people through their own examnle. Alone with this goes the doubr wJiether the professional education erven in the universi ties is really sufficient as a preparation for sen-ice to the public "But the real question,' says Sir Robert, "is whethe; the ideals of universities are such that they deserve to be maintained by modern society. Certainly the Nazis have closed nearly all theirs, partly because of the war but chiefly because they do not believe in the ideal and free spirit which were inculcated in the time when Germany pi s Waterfront Whiffe First Halibut of Season 'Landed During Week at Prince Rupert Prince Charles Now On Pontoons At Dry Dock dentally, was the .first American boat of the season to land a catch at Prince Ruoert.

The way you minzle with men show whether or not you are liberally educated," Sir Robert told the students at the University of Toronto in one of his recent addresses to them. Suggesting that the growth of wealth and the ambition for material gain in our country may have dimmed the older ideals in communities which formerly placed! great value on knowledge, Sir Robert continues: "If so, and I do not wish to say that this is proportionately the case in our society, the university cannot accept the chief blame. It does create sentiment and ideals quietly and f"-",'"Jlv. ' ut i' cannot do its best if the average mind is indifferent to what it seeks to do.

"The human race has learned by sad experience that wisdom does not always go hand in hand with knowledge. Notwithstanding our accumulated knowledge, Western civilization is suffering the woes -of war. But it is not our knowledge itself that has brought us to this pass. It is because our head does not control our heart, nor our.rea-son restrain oar selfish ilesires. "The hopeful outlook for education," the article con cludes, "is that on the whole there is less of this selfish; irrationality in people who have had instilled into Ihem the ideals of nohlest literatures, .and -who have caught; some glimpse of the veracity of the -mind created by science. In this confused world, universities, which .dhv ectiy educate only a minority, hold forth the light of ideal-1 ism. and, dull though it often is, that light is a witness to truths as to which the mass of people would otherwise be left in darkness."
