WORLD CONFERENCE 0F THE TEACHING PROFESSION

Representatives gathered at En- dicott, New York, the letter part n; August to form a new world educational organization. Spokes- men for the twenty-eight nations set up two important committees m deal with world educational problems. Miss Margaret Prlngle ht Scotland wzu elected head of a committee working on proposals tor a world teachers’ organization. whiic Dr. Floyd Willoughby of Winnipe headed a committee for the teac lng of international un- derstanding throughout the world.

Among the topics discussed at tho meeting was the question of a universal language and a num- her of the delegates from non- Etiglish speaking countries held that English should be made the second language in schools in non- English speaking countries. It has become the universal language of the world.

Delegates from Brazil. Haiti. and China upheld this view and urged nations to stress the importance of Erngilsh as a means of develop- ing a common tongue. Mr. Jose Luis Figuero of Mexico recom- mended that U.N.E.S.C.O. should immediately take steps to

lngliah the universal langua a of the world. but the sub-comm t- tee dealing with this matter hed-

tated in taking such a step and In in

instead recommended that an - temational commission of linguists nd teachers be set; up to make specific recommendations. The committee headed by Miss Pringle recommended that fuii member- ship be granted all national or- anizations of the teaching pro- eesion whose applications have gem approved the executive o .

The committee headed by Dr. Wllloughby discussed the Objeg- tlves, Ways and means of teaching international understanding. Th Polish delegate, Anton Wojcicki, stated that the “prevention of war is our main task. We earnestly hope that the conference will discover a technique for ‘pea action grompt y." Jose Guerrero of Costa ice. urged all nations to eliminate excessive nationalism in ieflchlhi.

VITAMINS

The vitamins are complex com- unds present in most of our oods. In themselves they are not foods but unless they are present in mnute quantities, various types of malnutrition and disease result. Some vitamins have been obtain- ed in pure crystalline form and their structure has been determin- e , but the structure of others is unknown. Vitamins have been desig- neted provisionally as A, B. C, D. G and K, and each has been {fund to have definite health func- one.

Almost any well-ordered diet will contain the necessary vitamins. el- gecielly if the natural food has not

oen too much modified by separa- gon o! the vitamin-bearing por-

on.

Hormones are catalytic substan- cos of great complexity somewhat similar to vitamins, manufactured various glands of the body. Passed into the blood stream in minute quantities. they regulate many of the functions of the body, such as blood pressure and the deposit of calcium the bones. Examples of typical hormones are the thyroxin, of the thyroid gland, and insulin, of the pancreas. Vita- min A, promotes growth; keeps the

In any one of the 30,000 Canad- ian classrooms organized as Branches of the Junior Red Cross, the pupils may decide tomorrow that they would like to contact a group of their own age in some foreign country. They can do it- because they belong to the largest youth organization in the world.

Junior Red Cross, established in ill countries with a, total member- ship of approximately 30 million. has a system of international cor- respondence through which school boys and girls can exchange port- folios or albums. Compiled as l. Branch subject with every mem- ber of the class contributing. these albums tell in picture and prose of the life and customs of the country. They travel through the National offices of the organiza- tion in the countries concerned. with perha s a stop-over at the League of ed Cross Societies in Ge eva for translation. The u". der ying idea is that by “pairing” groups of similar age and school Bride this exchange of correspon- dence will establish e. bond of fgiendship based on understand-

Canadian Branches arr: bombard- ing their National office with port- foilos en route to children in other countries, and more portfolios, many

originally in foreign languages, are pouring in bound for Canadian classrooms. They are coming from distant points in both hemispherea but those that are creating the greatest interest at the moment are from war-torn countries in- tent, on renewing friendships after f enemy occupation.

‘ aking a. concerted effort to take pert in this scheme of international correspondence on a pre-war scale. Early in the year the first half-dozen portfolios ar rived and were the oa-use of gen- eral rejoici-ng in» the Canadian or- ganization. Then cama sixty-eight more in one great consignment and ainco then there has been a steady flow of albums from Hench schoola. _

In all portfolios from Canada, it is rather interesting to see the difference in the emphasis placed on the various phases of the Ca- nadlen scene by different nge sroups. The "Mounties" are great favorites with the elementary grades and invariably rate a spec- iai setting equalled only by the prominence given to the King and Queen and to Princess Elizabeth who is Patron of the Canadian Jun. ior Red Cross.
