Snow in Arizona i AN EDITOR down in ' Arizona is apparently ! getting ready to offer me la job! The editor of the Arizona Star writes: "Trie folk In western Canada j surely read vour column." It 'e'ins X) many reaueia wnt liiin my columns, correcting his Ideas about Canada's war effort, that he thought a Canadian snowstorm had hit Arizona. He didn't mind the "snow" but the letters were a bit tough. Anyway, the whole argument cleared the air. At least some of our American cousins learned that Canadians ar- not slackers; that our armament taxes are hisher than theirs and that we have given away to our allies about as much proportionally as has the U.9.A. ; But maybe we up here In Canada have learned a lesson too. f!ut as the U R public advisory ; t . ; - i.-v 't 1 li V 'm SaW 'if It 4 PLAYINO AN IMPORTANT AND CROWING PART In NATO defence plans are the Canadian Army and Air Force bases n western Europe L x-ated at Hannover In West Germany Is the Army's 27th Canadian Infantry Biigade Group, under Brtadier J.

Until some lively issue arises like the Kolston formula or the dismissal of the editor of Effective Living, education is apt to be deprived of the place it deserves in public consideration. There is a certain general attitude that the schooling of our children, though admittedly running into problems from time to time, is on reasonably safe ground and that there is no particular urgency about making whatever corrections are indicated. Children, after all, are fairly robust creatures who can, always get along somehow. A closer look at the situation reveals that this complacency is entirely unjustified. Our schools are not on safe ground and there is an urgency to do something about it. The two great dangers are shortage of well-qualified teachers and lack of accommodation for the rapidly increasing number of pupils. The swelling flood of school enrolments, having filled our elementary grades to the bursting point in the immediate postwar period, is about to descend on the higher grades and secondary schools. A forecast made from a special survey by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics predicts that within 12 years the secondary school enrolment in Canada will be more than double the present" 300,000. The prediction is based on the number of births and the estimated number of children remaining in school until 17, and makes some allowance also for immigration Immigration in 1951 was sufficient to add 10,000 pupils to secondary schools in the early 10's. Since B.C. is the fastest-growing province in Canada and is likely to maintain its rapid pace, the problem in this province will probably be more acute than in any other. By the same reckoning. Prince Rupert is more likely to feej the pressure 'than the average Canadian city. For these reasons, as well as for others less pressing, it is imperative that provincial education receive priority attention from here on in. Our Parent-Teacher Associations and school boards have generally shown themselves alert to the dangers, and it is incumbent on all political parties to give the matter the same kind of thought. B.C. may become the most prosperous province in Canada, but unless its children have the benefit of a good education its wealth will have no meaning. varmest city in the whole of; British Columbia , I in . , ,r - r - V -; .'. - : " V ' ' . , . . - USA the score.
