English Expert
Talks to Teachers

James A. Inkster, principal of
the West Vancouver high
school, and a specialist in Eng-
lish, was the guest speaker Sat-
urday afternoon at a meeting of
the District 27 Teachers’ Asso-
ciation here.

Mr. Inkster has specialized in
the study of English at Wash-
ington University, the Univer-
sity. of British Columbia and
others. He has conducted Te-
search into English teaching for
over 21 years and served on cur-
riculum committees.

The speaker said he feels that
English -in British Columbia
schools is generally well taught,
and that the level of under-
standing of the subject is high
in each phase of the school Pro-
gram.

The afternoon session proved
highly helpful to all the teach-
ers, even those who handle
other subjects, as Mr. Inkster
guided them in planning greater
Vocabulary teaching.

Times the Mail's Fast

We can almost match Tony

story in last week's paper of speedy mail
delivery. As it happened during the Christ-

mas season, it is little short of

Since acquiring the newspaper and print=

ing business, we have felt in-
cumbent to produce our
original card at Christmas time.
The first year everything went
well and our bright little greet-
ings rolled off the press in good
time. But since then our ideas
have been getting dimmer and
dimmer, ard the cards are being
mailed later and later.

This year was the pay-off.
Sometime in October I mention-
ed Christmas cards to the editor.
“Lots of time,” he answered -as
he hurried off to a meeting.
Come November I pleaded “how
about our Christmas cards? Let’s
try and figure something out.”
Again the reply “Lots of time
until Christmas.”

By the time December 10th
rolled around, I was desperately
rhyming “season” with “reason”
in an attempt to be original. By
December 16th when my finish-
ed effort was still not printed,
I stormed around and threaten-
ed to get some ordinary cards
from the drug-store.

own

Finally on December 22nd,
our Christmas cards were done.
Still wet with ink, I grabbed
them, and stuck them in the
waiting envelopes along with my
frantie little notes of apology
for being late.

Our friends in Williams Lake
will be the only ones to get them
in time,” 1 bemoaned to Clive.
“I’m so ashamed. Next year I’m
going to buy some already print-
ed and NOT from the Tribune,
and I'll mail them in Novyem-
ber.””

The following week we
ceived a letter from relat
Saskatoon. They had enjoyed
our card and we did not need to
apologize for being late — jt
had arrived December 24th!

The editor has enjoyed flaunt-
ing this fact several times since
then, much to my
