Education Objectives

A year ago the Trustees of Saanich School District spent many hours of their valuable time in desultory debate concerning the objectives of education.

The subject was eventually shelved. Any attempt to - reduce educational objectives to. a few sentences as trite as they were obtuse was clearly destined to failure. —

_ But now the professional staff of the District has at- tempted to put into writing their own collective views on educational aims and objectives. We find the result of their studies in this direction equally obscure.

There is a real danger of the fundamentals of

- education being wrecked in an undertow of precious but useless backwash. Surely in its simplest expression the

~ purpose of education is to teach from knowledge and in

the light of experience. This presumably is what professional educators are especially trained to impart.

_. Why then this worry with written declarations of

“purpose? All such useless documents should be. con- signed to the limbo of forgotten causes.

When disaster — in the form of another automobile accident. — strikes our community, four: groups of people usually respond; three of them with the objective of rendering immediate assistance, the fourth with a - broader desire. . The first three — - police, ‘ambulance attendants, and i tow truck operators arrive with the primary concern of assisting the injured and removing dangerous ob-

BY JOHN SQUANCE

The ability of human-kind to transcend the ordinary limits of physical being can be observed in many instances where a person, man or woman, old or young, has accomplished some feat beyond their usual strength of body or mind: Very often without forethought or deliberation, the act seems to have been. a spon- teaneous welling up within, or power, to meet an. emergency. There have been deliberate choices made, too, of a sacrificial nature. Such a one was Albert Sweitzer, who abandoned a successful career to work at Lambourine in Africa. To make a choice such as his requires great insight, dedication and a high sense of human values.

Then there are those who have risked and lost their lives fora comrade, parents who have given theirs for a child. Many a soldier has given his life in attempting to rescue a wounded comrade. Consider the demolition: experts who attempted, and: sometimes failed, the task of de-activating bombs and mines. ~

We read of. feats. of. unusual strength such as the father who lifted the tractor. that. had pinned his son beneath it, or the truck driver at the scene of a wreck, who, with super human strength was able to stretch the twisted frame of the cab and so release the trapped and tortured oc- cupant. In pondering © on. . these power to transcend the ordinary, I wonder if such power lies within you and me too, or is it to be found

and used by only a select few? I find I cannot think that this is so. Therefore I must believe that these great capacities lie within each of us. Perhaps never to be used, do you think, or.does there come atime and moment when to , 4 each one of us there is a tran- ; scendental experience?

Consider the firewalker; or the healer, under whose hand flesh is ins instantly restored. Are these not ue evidence of the power to tran- scend?

From whence comes this largely unused power? Some there are who believe all action is matter in vibration and that therefore an increase in vibratory speed can bring about superhuman results. Others would say it is a chemical change in which.the adrenal glands send a.surge of power into the. bloodstream. To‘many of us it is, -

“God within who doeth. the

It. is said that man uses less than 15 percent of his brain cell capacity, and it may well be similarly true of many of. his other capacities. It is ‘a challenging thought and to me there is.a shining hope in it.
