Thili idea. idf serving a meal with an international menu to underline its purpose was entirely original and the way was naturally paved with unctj-tainties. But now the Guides can relax w i th the pleasant realization that they did well. Not only was the dinner delicious, but there were plenty of guests to enjoy it. In fact, two sittings were necessary to aeeojnmodate all of them. Jt was appropriate that I'rinee Rupert Guides should he the first in such an undertaking because here is a city where people from many countries live and Work closely together. Other cities have their international element, too, but in larger communities than this there is a tendency for racial groups to segregate themselves and occasionally to establish their own neighborhoods. Here the lines of distinction must be virtually eliminated if the ?ity is to live in harmony and move ahead. So we are proud of our Girl Guides, not just 'lecause they put on a good meal, but also because in their own relatively small way they showed the country what can be done when real world friendship exists among neighbors. ,.' .' ,,.,0t.- ..r 1 "pnii literary topics.

It is anindictment of so-called progressivism, in modern education, and a plea for a return to the fundamentals and old-time disciplines. 1 v The book has Enjoyed excellent publicity, as it deserved to do. The comment has been divided. Those who previously believed as Dr. Neatby argues are now more outspoken and bitter in their denunciation of the present "system." Those who believed in the modern education theories are still mostly of the same mind, although they have been visibly shaken and put on the defensive by the book. As for lis, we refuse to take an "either or" position. There is no doubt that the children coming out of the public schools today are woefully deficient in some of the fundamentals. But in some other ways they are definitely better prepared for citizensnip than their parents or grandparents were. The emphasis, we think, is much better placed on the child. instead of on tthe;curi;iculuiiv.: Surely it's possible -to1 woro'ut fcVy'ni raining ' ' ' the best of. both.
