River gas would mean cheaper power and a healthy bovst to
a growing industrial economy.

But the legal experts representing the Fish interests have
been highly successful so far in fighting a sound delaying
action. They might even do better and succeed in having their
own employer's application accepted. Such a move would see
the hopes of exporting Peace River gas completely shelved

are nQt important to a Child's parents, it respect for elders, for
personal property, for thoroughness and other virtues are not
bart of the air a child breathes at home, his teachers may talk
about such things, but the child will not hear them. If the
home has no respect for learning, if the parents take no
interest in the influences in our society which pull down a
child’s tastes and destroy his perceptions, the schools can only
make the best of the time the child is in them. Conversely,
with children from homes where the opposite virtues are re-
garded, the schools almost always have notable success.

“If the schools ever did, in fact, get better results in the
past in teaching the young, it was because the common atti-
tude of the people toward learning was different. At one time,
an education was one of the supreme values of life. Parents
would sacrifice every personal desire and satisfaction to ensure
that their children had educational advantages they had not
had. Men of learning were respected in the community. No
honest person may persuade himself that those things are
generally true toda

“The wonder is that the schools do so well. And the credit
for it must be given to the teachers, who strive to do the
best they can with whatever materia] comes to hand. A good
teacher is a good teacher, whether he or she holds to modern
ideas or the old-fashioned kind. Educational philosophies do
not precede good teaching, they attempt to explain it. But
teaching, no matter how good, needs the understanding and
co-operation of the parents. In our society, the growth of a
child is a mutual responsibility. That is why parents and other
citizens should watch with interest the deliberations this week
of their teachers who, after all, are the key to our educational
system, which must stand or fall on the calibre of those teach-
ers. Education is everybody’s business and conclusions reached
and action taken by the teachers during the next three days
should be of vital interest to everyone of us,
