AYRES Editor President G. P. WOODSIDE * General Manager Authorized as second class mall by the Post Office Department; Ottats WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1958 | Co-operation needed. in school and at home ith the start of school today throughout the city and the rest of the province thousands of young careers are either being-launched or continued. Once more these’ young lives. are being placed in the hands of. hundreds of teachers, some new, some veterans, Next June the results of the co-operation groups, the students and the teachers will be once more placed to the test as exam results are received. ‘More and more as education looms larger in our way of life, the need for a deeper understanding between par- ents, pupils and teachers, not in a parent-teacher association sense but to ensure that the students are receiv- ing the maximum assistance in learn- ing all that is necessary to fit them for facing the world when they leave school. a On the elementary school level, es- pecially for Grade 1 pupils, it is essen- -. tial that children grasp without fail the basic fundamentals of arithmetic, writing and reading, That.is obviously the aim, but .past experience has shown, whether teachers like to admit it or not, that students are reaching. junior high school still unable to do simpli lition and subtraction both the pupils and the high school téachers. The latter find it difficult to impart advanced material to stud- ents who are still groping for basic knowledge they’should have gained in Gradés 3, 4 or 5. By the time students reach Grade 12 many lose interest due mm 6€=—SSsto_their inability to cope with their between these _ two. in . school work and teachers become frus- trated because their efforts are being ‘wasted on pupils who don’t appear able to absorb information they should. At the same time, right from the Grade 1 to graduation class, it is the duty of both parents of a child to keep ‘a keen eye on their child’s progress. Any lack of understanding, inability to absorb facts, any confusion in the mind of their youngsters or teenage children should be noted as soon as possible by the parents and a remedy sought immediately. A. boy or girl eannot make progress in any subject of which the fundamentals are not clearly understood. If a barrier to ad- vancement exists it should be removed before additional information is piled on. If this is not done only greater con- fusion will result and in the end the child will become hopelessly lost in a welter of meaningless facts or figures. - With understanding and helpful as- sistance supplied by the teachers and parents the major contribution to- wards a successful academic life still remains with the child. If respect for learning and its rewards is instilled in a boy or girl, the need for patient, steadfast work in schoo] or at home stressed, then good results should ac- erue, Procrastination, fetish adher- ence to the gang vogue or the placing xf pleasurable pursuits ahead of study, will play hayvoe with school work and it is up to parents to lay down the law and see that their child- ren attend to first things first. In that way, possibly, instead of having a few _ outstanding students every other year, the whole educational standard of the city’s youngsters can be lifted to a not- able degree. The law of Alabama OBBERY is a capital offense in Ala- hama. That is why Jimmy Wilson, 55, a Negro handyman, has been sen- tenced to die on September 5. He rob- hed an elderly white widow of $1.95. Wilson was prosecuted on this charge alone, though a grand jury had indicted him on three counts—rob- hery, burglary and burglary with at- tempt to ravish. For robbery, only four men, all Negroes, have died in the electric chair sinee it was installed in Mont- vomrey, Alabama’s capital, in 1927. ‘Twenty-four were executed for crininal assault, which appears to be an clastic term in the South. “Around here, if a Negro touches a white wo- ian, that's criminal assault,” J. Ren- der Thomas, clerk of the state supreme court, explained, Av ull-white jury heard the case, On appeal, the seven-man supreme court upheld the sentence. A motion for re- hearing is not expected to be granted because there is no new evidence. Wil- son’s last hope is that the Governor will commute the sentence. The severity of the sentence clashes with some fundamental concepts of Canadian and British law that the punishment should fit the crime and that, while justice must be done, it should also APPEAR to have been done. The people of the South should re- member that these cases are reported around the world and give excellent propaganda material to those wishing to criticize the United States for toler- ating barbaric, obsolete laws. If the Governor commutes the death penalty, it will lessen the propaganda impact of an act. that is certainly in- humane, if not unjust under the laws of Alabama, — The Toronto Telegram. vee e eer’ ~~ oe INTERPRETING ‘THE NEWS Icelandic waters dear to Britain, Europe By JOSEPHE MacSWhEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Behind the Vritish-Icelandle ght over fishericn are some fresh cold fnets af economic tle, Whether you say it In pounds and penee oy dollars and cents Teeland'’s waters mean money to Britain and Buropean nations who flah there, As for Teeland, fish produets comprise 07 per cent of total exports on the estimate of the poevernmont, whieh saya flatly that “the Ieelundie people depend for thelr existence on the survival of the {sh stocks," Tt wan with this background that Teeland-—- on the ground of conservation—astarted the dispute by extending her territorial iMmit to 12 miles from four miles Bept, 1, after a pre-e vious extension to four from three miles in yOH2.

Now science has produced the com- pletely automatic air naviga- tor. This British-made gadget ds called the Marconi Doppler Navigator, Type AD 2300. It is the world’s first elec- tronic navigational aid which is' completely independent of ground stations. : According to United King- , dom Information Service, “it can present, on a combined contro! and indicator unit, dir- ect information on distance- determined flight plan; dis- tance to go along a composite’ desired track to reach a des- tination; direction and speed - of wind, ground speed and drift angle. “Other information includes a left-right indication for steering the aircraft on a des- ~ ired rhumb line or great circle i track; distance to destination © and a visual indication when . the end of a navigational stage has been reached.” oy It;can be built.into an auto-.: pilot system> And,’ one “might a add, it doesn’t drink too much: beer on.the night before it goes flying.

The automatic pilot, famil- iarly known as George, itself seemed marvellous enough in its day. Many a navigator of middle- sized aircraft, I am told, can remember the panicky feeling that came over him the first time his pilot appeared in the navigator’s compartment. It was almost as though a man were dozing in the back seat of a car and he awoke with a start to find that the driver was sitting beside him, and that nobody was at the wheel, Not quite the same, though. In the case of the alrcraft, Georfe was driving, A navigating machine of sorts was jn use in some areas during the war. But jit wasn't as versatile and as self-regul- ating as the new one appears to he, Many former alr foree niv- igators will wish heartily that the new machine had been in- vented nm few years enriler.
