Two Views

Mr. Robert .llcCubbin, pai'iianicntai'y as- sistant to the Federal Minister of Agri- culture, says that in his opinion the agri- cultural outlook for 1934 is "bright." Mr. H. H. Iiallllilltl. president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, does not agree with this view. He says that farm prices generally will contiiuie downward and that ”Canadals titltl.tltlti farm families will re- main ill the squeeze brtwccn low" prices and high costs." Specifically. he believes tilat cattle prices will stay as they are and that prices for hogs and eggs will deteriorate.

Mr. Mr-Culiliili is in a good observation post. llc lias at his dispilsai ciiarts. graphs. and statistical reports of all kinds and descriptions. lie has the advice of econ- omic cxpcrts to aid him in his prophecies and. above all. a very optimistic and ex- perieliccd chief to consult when ill doubt. Certainly, all opinioll from Mr. McCubbili should carry considerable weight.

Mr. Hannam also is a qualified observer of thc .'igi'icLlltLirol scene. In the course of his official duties he travels widely: he is ill a position to see at first hand the many problems which hcsct Canadian farmers. His contacts with farmcrs' organizations in all sections of Canada as well as in other parts of the world provide him with in- formation and insights - of much value. Added to all this is a long and ric' ex- perience ili the various phases of thc ('Otlll- try's agricultural economy.

All who are interested in Canadian agri- culture-and who isn't?-will hope that Mr. lVicCubbin's view will turn out to have been the more accurate one of the two. Mean- while, thc important thing is for officials of the Agricultural Departments, on both the Federal and Provincial levels, and lead- ers of the Federation of Agriculture and of other farm ol'gani7.atiolis, to pool their strength. knowledge, and rcsoLii'c(-s. in a united effort to make 193-it the bright year that Mr. McCubbin thinks it ougnt to be.

Vital Issue At Berlin

To the question "What is the icold ival" ahout'?". perhaps the shortest and most precise answer might be ”frcc elections." Certainly, one of thc first questions that divided the Grand Alliance during the war was that of free elections in Poland. As far back as October 1941 when Winston Churchill ivas in Poland, he suggested that free elections should be held in Poland un- rler international supervision. Mr. Molotov replied that such supei'vision would he an offence to Poland's national dignity and an iiifringcmcnt on her sovercitznty. llc has been saying the salrlc cvcr silicc as. in out satellite state after another. the travesty of mock elections llclped to impcsc tllc Com- niunist yoke.

Writing from the l'nilcd Killgcloili In- formation Officc at Ottawa. lilatiricc Latcv points out that this is w'ly frcc clcc'ions in Germany arc the vital issuc ill the Ber- lin talks. In the long series of notes on the German question w'h'-ch was cxchaiigcd be- tween the Wos'.crli Powers and thc Sovie. Union. both in N32 and lll3.'l, thc West- crn Iiovxcrs liavc collsistclitly niaintaincd that only free clcctiovls could bring into be- ing an all-C-crmzin National Assembly and Government w'.t'i which a peace trcatv could be negotiated. They took with them to Berlin a clctailcrl plcn for this. The Soviet proposal on the other liand. is for .1 body that should lie mrdc t'l'l of l'Cl'1i't!- scntalivcs of thc Vl'risl"l'li and liastern Ger- man Assciliblics. vchich would accept a peace treaty and. at some unsnccificd future date. should hold elections. Further. Mr. Molotov has consistently rejected interna- tional supervision with the same nrovment that he used to Sir Winston C'lurchill nine years ago and has been using ever since, that it would be cffcnsivc to national dig- nity and German sovereignty. ,

That is not surprising. For one thin: in certain. If there were free elections in Germany. that would be the end of the Communist Party there. In the last elec- tions in the Western Zones, last Septem- ber, the Communists received about two per cent of the votes and won no seats in the Federal Assembly. Despite the dc- temilned and open Soviet attempts to de- foIt Dr. Allenauer. he and the parties allied to him won I hIndsome majority. In East- ern Gormnny ,f.he Communists would have from power In the rising of Jun! 17th Int year, but for the interven-

And now the Western Powers are ask-

ing that the terror apparatus of the Eas' Zone should be dismantled. For nothinl less could guarantee the necessary freedom "There will certainly have to be proper supervision of the prepar- ation for the elections: of the process of voting and of the counting of the votes. There will have to bet measures to prevent victimization."

The Western plan provides for all these

precautions in East as well as West Ger- many.

Canada council '

The Canada Coulicil, recommended by the Massey Commission in 1951, still has to be formed and, according to the Ottawa Journal, there is a'trace of anxiety that it will be like the Canada Medal, approved during the last war but never awarded any- one. When a member in the House in- quired about the council during the 1953 session, the Prime Minister said he had been unable to find free for duty Canadians who might suitably serve on the council. He could go no further when the question was asked again recently.

There must be hope that Mr. St. Lau- rent is pursuing with zeal his search for members. The couiicii will stimulate and help organizations in the fields of the arts, letters. humanities, and social sciences. fos- ter Canada's cultural relations abroad and administer a system of scholarsiiips. Under the Massey Commission recommendation, the council would have the important task of appropriating money for the establish- ment of- scholarships. studentships and bursaries for post-graduate students of Canadian universities in the humanities. social sciences and the law.

The sad case of a young couple who all- ways paid cash is noted by the St. Cath- arirlcs Standard. It seems that when they applied for a mortgage under the National Housing Act they were informed that they had no credit rating. Credit. it seems, is like many other faculties, it must be exer- cised io be kept in good condition.

Britain's new turbine airliners are to be fitted with a loud-speaker public-address system over which tiie captain can pass messages to the passengers. In the past, the noise from piston engines has made it difficult to produce a light-weight public- address system which could be licard clear- ly all over the aircraft.

Higher elevation means lower temper- atui-cs in the popular mind. and so it does when the elevations are of mountainous proportions. It works otherwise, apparent- ly, with more modest heights and depres- sions. A weather official has been quoted as describing how cold air slides downhill in still weather so that there may be poc- kets of lnuch colder air than is general.

GRARIMIAR RULES

Sir, Among the defects in the teaching in vn;,vnn in our modern Canadian schools iiicntioncd by Dr. Neatby in her book entitled, "So Little For The Mind". in I gross weakness in rules of gram- mar. Personally. I think there '5 ample evidence that her indict- ment. is true in thc'ezisc of our Island schools.

For example. let me mention the following case: Early last spring I undertook to coach I girl of good average intelligence in her French for the P. W. C. Entrance Examliilition. I found her well-versed in her French vocabulary. but. woefully deficient in the required grammatical rules. in both lnflcxion and syntax. I pointed out to her that she was xci-,v rlciicicnt in French grammar. "Grammar," slic cxclainicrt, "do you know that I hadn't. the faint- cst idea of what gramniar meant til! I started studyimz French?"

Here again is another example: Only R few days ago I asked an-

nthcr school girl from aiiollicr school district if stir was study- ing grammar in her grade. viz VI. She said she was. and had

been for nearly a whole term. I asked her if she ever heard or read anything nlmut ii noun. Shc said she had. and l askcrl her to tell me what. a noun was: and it was truly lauglialiic to listen to her trying to tell what it was. After listening for a few moments to her futile cffnrls, I gave-.licr ii dircct definition of a noun. along with a few cvnmplcs. "Oh! I see". Sl1&l'X4"iIlllilt"fi, with that -pccuiiar look that ii pupil gives when it flash of intciligcnrc comes to his or her mind. Nccdicss to

there was the fact that he could presumn so vcry little on the first ycnr pupllis knowledge of Eng- lish grammar. Over and over azain. he said. he would have to iligrr-ss from the day's lesson to leach sonic hnsic rule in grammar that might as well, and better, have IIPPYI taught in one or more grade: of the public school. There can be little dniiht that the value of rules and definitions in tcncliing grammar has been discounted to a disastrous degree by modern cducatlnnists. Not only are the mmlernlsts themselves nwnre of this discounted wine. but they actually boast about it.

The general plight of the I-Iiridu widow in reflected even in funeral cu.st.oina. It flrut. seems rather sirnnge thnit. the corpus of I wife who nu predeceased. liar liuIbInd, should be wi-Ippod in I very gaudy shroud and decorated with flow- ers and tinsel but this custom is largely followed and represents the joy of the household and the fortune of the womI.n in that Ihe

(ill The majority of studenta en- tering P.W.C., do not. lcnow how to Illot. their time. between ex- tracurricular Ict.ivlt.leI and their studies. They find the nocill life offered in Charlottetown much more "intriguing, than the rather dull routine of studying. If this is to be the Ittttlude. Ind un- doubtedly it in in muiy cues, how is I Itudent. to wen expect I pas?

We cannot question the accur- acy of the statistics presented in the letter, but. it must. be realized that. my institution that. is func- tioning properly. does not lower its standoi-dc to Iccommodcte unde- serving students.

We would like to ask. who lit placing all the blame of falling on the students? The very fact that these other nausea are listed. gives evidence. t.h.It. neither the nu- denta nor the teIchei-I I.i-e entirely to blame. The failure of I. stu- dent It P.W.C.. can be the cause of many things. but. one is not justified in adopting the "Sour Grapes." It.t.it.ude towards the teachers. courses and methods of examining. It seems to us. In for- mer students. that it in highly im- probable and unlikely that any student. who Ipplles himself. with R. reasoiuble Imount. of effort. would fall It P.Wc.

There are. indeed. excellent teachers It. r.w.c., but it. does not necesvs-arily mean, that only these teachers are good who con- tinue to touch on the Grades 1-10 level. It. lI quite necesnry to prepare Itudents for the univer- sity level. otherwise students will be faced with the some problem, when entering university Is when they entered high school. In order. that the Ccllege may maintain 1'4 high acndemlc standing. it is necessary to have well qualified tencliciw. Many students have personal grudges against their icrtchcrs. but very few students can ti-uihfully say that. the teachers are entirely at fault.

Does Dr. Mtwxlnrion conatder these requlrevnmm II be- ing similar to the requirements at P. W. C.? It. would be interesting to know if any province in Canada requires its high school students to pass in three sciences (Chemis- try, Physics. Biology) and three Maths. (Algebra. Geometry, Trigonometry) as P. W, C. requires of its second year students.

Indeed we do not have to look outside our pwn Province ho find that. P. W. C. is overloading the ourrlculum unnecemarlly. During the past. year the Government through its Deparhmcrlt of Education dl'OW up what I believe was intended "to be I uniform grade eleven course- for the whole province. P. W, C. Iltihough it is I publicly owned institution was not. content to fol- low this minimum course but added slich extra subjects ns Art. Arithmetic and Physical Training. Why should those students who are compelled to take their final year of high school in P. W. C. be burdened with these extra subjects when these subjects are not tauziit at. other grade elnven centres '.tl1(i are not required for the provincial examinations? Do thc members of our Government consider this I uniform grade eleven course?

The College Onlcndzlr for P. W. C. 1053-54 states: '”I'o obi.-iin D135 standing a-uupll must. have 30'. in uch Iubject." Yet, Dr. Mac- Kinnon says: "Others may go down in one or two subjects: these have not failed: if they make an overall standing of 50'; tiicy are granted a pass standirlg with I condition." The names of r.:'.:':.:f: who hiive failed in one. two. or even three subjects hIve Ippeurrd on the so-culled pas: list of P. W. C.
