'A NOTE T0 THE TEACHERS

As the Convention is over. we ere able to resume the "Education- al Horizon", which has been a - pearing in the Guardian for e past four months. We are told by the teachers that a good work is being clone, and that it should be continued to the end of the school year. We wish to do that very thing, and, if possible, enlarge

EDUCATION FOR A

F. G. Patten. President of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation,

Most of us recognize that as time goes on, the real issues behind the present war are becoming more and more clearly defined. and that this world is facing a great civil conflict. Even our American neigh- bors are awakening to the fact that a modern world cannot exist half slave and half free any more than could their own country seventy- five years ago.

The social implications of the present struggle are terrific. In a recent. speech, Mr_ Roosevelt stat- ed: "I would ask no one to defend a democracy which in tum would not. defend everyone in the nation against want and privatlon." Ar- thur Greenwood has recently stated that. in the post-war period, “Bri- tain will not. tolerate poverty or unemployment." If we are to credit these statements, our post-war world is certainly to be quite s dif- ferent. place from the one that our

POST-WAR WORLD

students and ourselves have known.

This idea. of a. changing world presents a might challenge to us as teachers. Sccia and political in- stitutions in a democracy are flex- ible. and it is your job and mine to see that we practise and preach this fact every day of our lives It is our job to sell the idea of new possibilities and the responsibilities of a better order to our boys and girls -and. mark you, it is only in democratic society that the dream of a new and better world can be- come a reality.

China proved centuries ago that rigidity oi institutions, whether educational, economic, or social, is disastrous. Intolerance and in- flexibility of mind on your part and mine can be equally calamitous. Let us each resolve to contribute every- thing we can in this present strug- gle in order that we may wi through. Above all, may each kee an open and a receptive mind to- ward the possibilities of s. new and changed world.

DESTROYERS-DEFENCE BASES AGREEMENT

On Spetember 3rd Mr. Roose- velt announced an epochal and far- reaching act of preparation for continental defence. Great Bri- tain had given the United States the right to air and naval bases in Newfoundland and Bermuda. In exchange for 50 over-age destrov- ers, overhauled, reconditioned. and armed. the British had conceded the right to additional strategic

bases:

1. In British Guiana, on the South American continent;

2. 0n Trinidad, in the Caribbean. off Venezuela; '

3. On Antigua and Santa Lucia, islands off the lesser Antilles:

5. On the Bahama Islands. northeast of Cuba;

6 On Jamaica.

Puerto Rico, also in the West Indies, is already the seat of a United States naval and air base.

The new American defence line thus stretches 4500 miles from Newfoundland to British Guiana. such a line is expected to turn the Caribbean into an American lake and make unlikely any large scale attack upon the eastern approaches to the Panama Canal.

01 even more immediate assur- ance was the definite usurance, given at the same time by Great Britain of its intentions “never to surrender or sink the British fleet in the event of the waters surround- ing the British Isles becoming un- tenable for His Majesty's ships."

The naval, air base deal is gen- erally regarded in the United States as the most important ste toward making their country sae from foreign attack in more than a century It transforms the Monroe Doctrine into a practical

iinstrument of protection.

need imperative.

{The demand far exceeds the supply.

Departments of Government have found a shortage of Engineers, Dentists, Doctors, Physicists, Chemists, well qualified instructors in mathematics (for serial navigation, etc.) and High School Teachers with special knowledge of languages, mathematics, and science.

The shortage of trained men and women will become

still greater in the future. unless this need be met.

We shall lose our future

High School students thinking of university would be well advised to seek special training and to enquire seriously about Special or Honour courses.

For many years past DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY has built up unusual facilities for advanced and special courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology,

classics, modern languages and history.

In Eastern

Canada Dalhousids laboratories, libraries and teach- ing staff are unexcelled, and it is the only University with the professional schools of Medicine and Dent-

The needs of the nation make it imperative that an increasing number of women enter university special
