By John MacRae Is Geography Relevant? “Some of the subjects we have to take could be interesting but they have nothing to do with us in Ontario or even in Canada In geography we study Africa this year and Asia next year. What good is that for someone living in Canada? it ll it 1'! One sure way of putting a teacher on the defensive is to tell him his subject has no relevance in today’s world. But if you think this is a new phenomena just wait til I tell you what your parents and I did when we were in high school. We did worse than just telling the Latin and Greek teachers that they weren’t “with it”. We told them they were teaching “dead” languages. The fact that they read Homer in the original cut no ice with us. We lived through the period when they thought that a - study of the classics was great for the mind muscle. Thanks to us, the only students taking Latin and Greek today are those who appreciate the precise- Iiess and beauty of these languages. So keep coni- plaining about the lack of relevance and perhaps changes will occur so that the high schools will eventually get to “where it’s at". Very often though the students can’t see the forest for the trees. We often teach about the in- tricacies of the wheels and gears without ever iii- .forming the student that he’s learning how a watch works. At least once a month every teacher should try to relate the topic at hand to the total picture. There is a logical plan to the geography curriculum but taken in its parts the relationship is not easily seen. - Do you remember your junior school studies courses? It starts with the child and his immediate family and extends gradually into the community by talking about the fireman, the postman and the policeman.

He added that the question of a detoxification centre “seems to find the commission agreeing with the chief that there is a definite need for such a facility here."
