R. Swinton, chairman of the Canadian Conference on Education. He claimed As I See It by | Elmore P hilpoll | _ & St. Laurent Best Liked NEARLY every prime minister of Canada has been a vreat personality in his own right. It is true that, after the death of Sir John A. Maedonald the Tories «bbe most Canadian parents don’t really care about what kind of education their children are receiving. Mr. Swinton said further that about 9,000 people are teaching in Canada without proper qualifications. The large enrollment of parents in home and school parent-teacher organizations, particularly in Ontario, refutes Mr, Swinton’s suggestion that par- ents are apathetic. Peyhaps the real resgn for stu- dent “drop-outs” is that a cut and dried curriculum as presented today fails to arouse the interests of students in education. It may be that students lack the stimulation that awakens the desire to continue with an education. That there is something seriously wrong with the education system today is a recognized fact. The fault may lie with the “progressive” methods of a new educational cult that has a voice in education af- fairs. Perhaps the fault lies in the mass education methods that turn out students like stamped parts in an automobile factory assembly line. Some of the fault may lie with luxury-minded school boards that put the emphasis on palatial extras in school build- itigs rather than the rigid requirements of classroom space. The atmosphere of palatial schools may sct the psychological stage of laziness and loafing. The Canadian Conference on Education is to meet in Ottawa in mid-February. Some of the an- / siver's to Canada’s educations problems may be found there. Blunt language and plain talking might ex- pose the flaws in everything from provincial depart- fients of education to parental attitudes. ae —Kamloops Sentinel. Honest People At Large HERE are all to many dishonest people in the -~ world. And, because of the nature of their opera- tions, they achitve a notoriety out of proportion to their numbers. ‘There are plenty of honest people, put this seldom brings them great credit. They are merely acting as they should. i» Occasionally, however, incidents occur which do emphasize the inherent honesty of most people. This was illustrated in Chatham the other day when a man found a small box containing $3,000, lost by a bakery employee. Without hesitation the finder noti- fied police. |, This, of course, was the correct action. But $3,000 is a lot of money, and does offer a temptation. The old ddage about “finders keepers,” did not ap- ply. It never was an hohest slogan, anyway. i —The Trail Times.

But it is my belief that Mr. St. ‘Laurent was the best-liked prime iminister that Canada ‘ever had, fat least since the days of Sir ‘John A. ‘CANADIANS have undoubtedly / respected all their prime min- iisters. Borden, Meighen and ‘Bennett, for example were all ‘respected. But respected is a ‘very different thing from admi- tration, and admiration is a very idifferent thing from affection. | We ean and sometimes do ad- imire people for whom we lack lany trace of affection. | Louis St. Laurent was not only [respected and admired from icoast, to corst, and by persons of fall political faiths, but he was ‘also a beloved personality. By land large the people had an af- lfeetionate place in their hearts {for him that they never had for ‘any of his predecessors---not | even for that majestic figure, ; jay ! | Laurier. ° THE secret of Louis St. Laurent’s hold on the affection of the ) Canadian people was in that it . ‘was impossible to come in con- ‘tact with hirh in any way with- lout being influenced by what I ‘can only call his radiant good- iwill. | It was impossible to talk over ‘any matter with Louis St. Laur- rent, either individually or in a ‘group. without having him react fexactiv as you would want, and ‘expect a great prime minister of Canada to react. But it was not just charm of pmenner and radiant - goodwill. ithat made Louis St. Laurent the | most beloved firure who ever occupied the Prime Minister's office. “He had a will of iron and principles as solid as the Rock of Gibralter. In illustration of this point I jean now reveal one of the best kent political secrets in all Can- | adian history. To the best of ‘my knowledge not a single word of it has ever been printed.
