Picking) This week. because of a most iriâ€" teiesting document which has come into rrry hands. l'm going- to go a long, long way from the type of sub» .‘ect which is usually discussed in this column. .\'evtrtlreless the subject under re- view is one \\'l2lt‘ll I believe will be o1 interest to many people in this district. Certainly it is one which demands of thought frcm several groups. Principal among those groups are a great deal our teachers. those whose children they educate, those who pay the bills for our educational system. Added up. they form a fairly sizeable pl'o< portion of our population. Let's boil the subject down to one simple question # "What are we getâ€" ting for our educational dollar '3" Or. to put it another way # “Are the dollars we spend on education producing citizens who can use the King‘s English correctly and etIicâ€" iently‘I" I’m going to gouway, way out on a limb with a great big resounding “NO”. You want the proof? Then just listen to any group of younger cit- izens in this district or. for that mat- ter. any district in Canada. Inciâ€" dentally. I mention “younger” citiâ€" zens purposely. My reason for daâ€" ing so is because all our Older peopâ€" le may not have had the opportun- ities which have been given to the younger generation. Certainly our boasted educational system has been in effect long enough that, in our present teen-agers, we should be seeing some results. Going Backwards But we are not. Instead of im- provement there is a steady regress- ion. Our younger citizens are comâ€" ing from their schools and colleges today unable to use their language â€" one of the most beautiful and exâ€" pressive in the world â€"~ correctly. They are, in many cases, unable to frame their thoughts properly, uns with all its beauty. would be out of place in our modern world. li'rairk- l}. l'ni ail in favour of gOod healthy, \‘illlt'. man-toâ€"man words. lI\en sound, expressi‘te slang has its place in our means o." i‘wlllliltlllh‘zllit'll one with another. In our constantly changing vocabulary the :lang and idiom of yesterday is the accepted form of speech tomorrow. But even allowing for all that it seems to me that the package of goods we are getting in return for our educational dollar lea\es much to be desired. A sixteen year old lad shows you, with pride. a piece of handiwork which he prmluced under the direction of his school principal. He tells you “I seen him do it." and their goes on, in sentences bristling with grammatical inaccuracies. to tell you all the processes. Finally you come to the conclusion that our educational system has produced a nice piece of leather work but an uneducated. or only partly educated. citizen. Education or Recreation Then you hear of this. that and ~tother school activity, often social or semi-social in character, until some- times you wonder whether education n- recreation is the main function of our school system. system has produced and is produc- ing a race of people who are among the world’s leaders in all fields of reserve. property 301d. human endeavour.
