  • The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977
    The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 by Jonathan Turner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Jonathan Turner 2012 The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 Jonathan Turner Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The Defence Research Board of Canada existed from 1947 to 1977. It was created because of the successful contribution of scientific management and specific military technologies to victory in the Second World War, and it was dismantled during a period of review and renewal of the government’s science and defence policies. The demise of the Defence Research Board demonstrated the triumph of business and public administration models over scientific management in spite of the successful defence research program. Among the successful projects of the Defence Research Board were satellites, research rockets, hydrofoils, nylon pile clothing, the wind chill factor, the strategic distinction between first and second nuclear strikes, open heart surgery, and blast trials. The strengths of the Defence Research Board were the scientific management practices that united the four Chairmen (Omond Solandt, Hartley Zimmerman, Robert Uffen and Léon L’Heureux) and the bench scientists. Over the course of its existence the Defence Research Board was shaped by six chains of events. 1. Solandt’s ability to recruit veterans from 1947 to 1953, 2. The election of John Diefenbaker and the ensuing conflict between Diefenbaker and civil servants, particularly over nuclear weapons, which led to the Royal Commission on ii Government Organisation and a decade of review of national defence policy (including two White Papers, integration and unification, and the Management Review Group), 3.

    FEATURE ARTICLE Destabilizing Curriculum History: A Genealogy of Critical Thinking ASHLEY PULLMAN Simon Fraser University In the specialized areas of erudition as in the disqualified, popular knowledge there lay the memory of hostile encounters which even up to this day have been confined to the margins of knowledge. […] Let us give the term genealogy to the union of erudite knowledge and local memories which allows us to establish a historical knowledge of struggles and to make use of this knowledge tactically today. (Foucault, 1980, p. 83). IMON FRASER UNIVERSITY (SFU) IN VANCOUVER, CANADA admits approximately S 7,500 new students annually; of these, over 1000 students enroll in a first-year philosophy course in critical thinking (Course section enrolment report, 2012). While this course is one of the largest within this institution, it is offered in one of the smallest departments. Importantly, Philosophy XX1, entitled Critical Thinking, is not considered an introduction-to-philosophy course; rather, it is intended to be disciplinary neutral, for students not necessarily pursing a philosophy degree. While standard course credit is granted for successful completion, the class is not given numerical merit, and has simply been designated XX1. As the Spring 2012 course outline reads, the subject of critical thinking within this course involves teaching the “fundamental aim of being a responsible thinker, consumer and citizen” and “the ability to efficiently and accurately distinguish truth claims from false ones.” Similarly, the Summer 2012 course outline explains Phil XX1 as “a practical course, a course in applied logic” that will help students become better readers, listeners, writers, and speakers through providing “tools” that are needed in order to pursue academic interests and goals, and “fulfill” the “capacity to be rational.” This mandate to make a student a critical thinker is linked closely to its legitimation within curriculum, and the institutional impetus to create critical students.

    Book Reviews 77 emotional state. The historian's task is always to search out the truth, for truth is essential to history. When Graham speaks of "the horrifying history of a forgotten people," of marine agents co-authoring "a long, dark chapter in Canadian history, inflicting hardships few Canadians could even contemplate," with Ottawa guaranteeing keepers a "life on the mudsill of society," the reader could be forgiven for thinking that not since the antebellum South has slavery been so fashionable. The truth is that while lightkeepers' wages were low and social benefits were non-existent, their lot was certainly no better or worse than most workers in turn-of-the-century Canada. In 1889, The Royal Commission on the Relations of Capital and Labour reported widespread exploitation in the manufacturing industry. In par­ ticular, it noted inadequate protection from belts, pulleys, and steam engines; crowded and unhealthy conditions; widespread child labour; fre­ quent unemployment; lack of compensation for industrial accident vic­ tims; workers forced to eat at their work post; and lack of job security. By not placing the lightkeepers' struggle within the larger context of Canadian labour history, Graham leaves the impression that somehow these "exiles" on the shores of British Columbia were singled out for inhumane treatment. Having expressed my reservations about the book, I believe nonetheless that Donald Graham has achieved one of his stated purposes. He has made a strong case against automating the lights. I know the need to keep the lights staffed. I was raised on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and while at university I spent summers working at a number of lighthouses.

Soon thereafter, little Iona – still a babe in arms - and her family returned to Galiano Island to her family home. Along with her three siblings, John, Harold and Marion, she was raised to be proud of her family’s pioneering roots: their grandfather, Finlay Murcheson, settled on the Island in 1882. In 1940, the Hardy family moved up the coast to the North Pacific Cannery located on the Skeena River near Prince Rupert, where her father worked as Chief of Maintenance.
