LANDE Dear Mr. Editor: From time to time, especially of recent date, I have noticed in your column many editorials on the ever increasing number of traffic accidents in this city. Is not your solution of stricter laws, more laws, greater enforcement of laws-in plain words putting "the cart before the horse"- and in this Province without a light? Laws will not make safe drivers or courteous dri'vers. The right form of instruction· will do it such as knowing more than something about how to drive a car-the psychology of driving a car- and the rules of the road ; instruction that has been tried and tested with excellent results by some of the progressive· schools in the United States, resulting in Insurance rates being reduced in such districts. What an excellent medium T elevision could be ! Believe me Sir, it is much easier to make a law than it is to make a law abiding citizen; much easier to construct a school than to make constructive changes in its curriculum . That much · I know, I have tried to get a hearing from the School boards on the subjeot, more than once and it is more or less pounding the air. W e live in a congested community to-day. We live with the machine, and the more power man has, the more res ponsibility he has to his fellowman. But that responsibility can only be taught at home, or failing that in the school. Mr. Editor, why not start at the right end? It is far less costly even though more difficult. But this difficulty of giving something to oyr youngsters more than laws will surely repay the effort.

NORRIS Principal, Sir George Williams College HE MOST active and .hectic registration period in the College's history has T come to a close, with enrollment continuing its steady upward climb in all units of the College and Schools. Increases have been recorded in all units of th~ institution,- the College itself, particularly the Evening Division, showing the most spectacular gains. Total figures this year will be about 300 in excess of last year's and will indicate the_larg est registration the College has had. The registrar is stiff trying to devise methods of eliminating the excessive rush of opening day, and at the same time be fair to former students who deserve and require the first chance to choose courses which may fi ll up early in the registration period. Further changes in procedure may be expected next year. Total enrollment in the College and Schools last year reached 6,500 students. It will probably go to 6,700 or 6,800 this year, the College alone accounting for probably 3,800 of them. Plans for the new building are still actively on the agenda, and are engaging the continuous attention of the Planning and Building Committees. There is every indication_that demolition of buildings presently occupying the site may commence as scheduled in May or June, 1954, and the building be ready for occupancy some time in 1956. That means that the Day students who are freshmen this year will spend their final year in the new plant. The elimination of the multifarious annexes will be a great boon to the operation of the College and a great day for the student body. The College nas ·beeti represented at three anniversary celebrations of three institutions in recent months. At the fiftieth anniversary of M acDonald Institute of the Guelph Agricultural College, Sir George was· represented by Mr. George Barker of Toronto, a graduate . of this College; the Principal represented the College at the centenary celebrations at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. in September ; and the Registrar, Mr. Douglass Burns Clarke, was our representative at the centenary of the founding of University College of the Univer sity ~£ Toronto and the iristallation 6f Dr. Samuel Beatty as the new Chancellor of the University.

Be Reacl.'f B'f 1956 OLLEGE officials have announced that the "new Sir George Williams College," C designed to accommodate some 6,000 students, will likely be completed by early 1956. The building, to be constructed south of the Central 'Y' building on Drummond street, is excepted to start "going up" in the spring of 1954. Efforts are still continuing to reach the . financial goal set for the Y.M.C.A. Building Fund Campaign, but the process of planning and estimating the new structure is in full swing. The new building will provide large, well-equipped classrooms, laboratories, and executive offices. The library will be extended and enlarged but will remain in the Central 'Y' building. Annexes now used , by the college will no longer be required. The Business and High School wi\l stay in the main building, but will occupy most of the space now used by the college. At present there is no report that the- faculty ~ill increase appreciably with the new building-probably no more than it normally would in the course of the yearly growth of the college. Some changes and additions will likely be necessary. It was reported that the college part of the building fund campaign- including students, faculty, and alumni- netted a total of $31,000. The figure is still climbing. The original goal of the group was $22,000 . . A college official noted that the original plans for the new building were used as a basis on which the goal of the campaign was set. They are now being revised and worked out in exact detail, h e said.

IJ/tU, JJ IJ/ou/lJ,e -A Q"'aJ OT UNLESS you're a college graduate can you assume the title of "Mister," N according to a recent United Press report, quoting Capt. Iain Moncreiffe, husband of the Lord High Constable of Scotland, the Countess of Errol. In a story by Robert Musel the nobleman was quoted as saying it was "arrant snobbery" to go around calling yourself Mister unless you have the right to call yourself one. And according to Capt. Moncreiffe- you haven't got the right unless you are, among other things, a university graduate. Moncreiffe is an authority on lineage and tit-les. H e serves in the Scots Court th at rules on coats of arms and other chivalric matters. The q~esticin also arose as to who has the right to have "Esq." after his name Moncreiffe ruled that in Britain, esquires officially are the sons of peers and knigh ts and certain judges, lawyers and law officers. But Capt. Moncreiffe doesn't believe this problem is as serious as the loosely used term of Mister. You can be born an esquire, he said. "but nobody can be born a Mister." , "Mister is correctly the style of a university graduate and can only be achieved through a certain amount of personal merit," h e said. "What arrant snobbery it is to assume the title of Mister !" Moncreiffe, one of Britain's most .blue-blooded noblemen, said he yearned for the "straightforward unsnobbish days'" when "the man who was not entitled to a style was not given it, and plain John Smith used neither prefix nor suffix.

D r. K. E. Norris, principal, announced that Miss Florence B. Greene, formerly of the M etropolitan staff of the Montreal Y.M.C.A . has been appointed coordinator of the school. T h e course continues until June 30. D r. Norris described the new school as a practical one-year course designed to give young people interested in a retailing career a realistic introduction to the fi eld. Seven local stores behind sc heme arc: H enry Birks and Sons, Dupuis Freres Ltec., T he T. Eaton Co. Ltd., J as. A. Ogilvy's Ltd., Simpson's M ontreal Ltd., H enry Morgan and Co. Ltd., and Steinberg's Wholesale Groccterias Ltd. The school and the stores associated with it have jointly planned the details of study, which will be divided between classroom instruction and practical working experience. It is expected that each student will, in the course of the year, work for pay in at least two of the stores. In that way, the students will earn while they learn, and acquire experience in actual worki ng conditions. Public speaking, instruction in sale manship, and individual counselling aimed at poise and perso nality development will also be emphasized in the course. D r. Norris said that all aspects of instruction are designed to give students an overall knowledge of retailing and related activities. Graduates will enter the fi eld at the sales level or in comparable positions, knowing the possibilities of advancement and with basic training for their ultimate goals. Instructors have been selected from the executive staffs of the stores and from the teaching staff of Sir George Williams College and Business School. Students attend classes on M onday, W ednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3.30 p. m.- a special project on Wednesday afternoons will consist of visits by the school, in groups, to various. manufacturers and stores. Students will work in stores on T uesday, Thursday and Saturday and will be paid for their work at the usual rate for junior staff, 75 cents per h ~.ur. During December, they will work full time in the stores. Normally, a student will have a chance to work in two or more of the cooperating stores during hii; training period.

There were 14Q enrolments in the day college; 686 in the evening division ; 125 in the high school; 38 in the business school. The remainder of the registrations were distributed among art, business and other schools. A total of 462 courses are being offered this year. The first day of the registration some prospective students in line outside Budge Hall had been waiting for three hours for the doors to open, "Last year about 800 registered on opening day," Mr. Clarke commented, "but this year is even busier." Some prospective students who arrived at the peak of the day's rush spent six hours standing in line, fi lling out forms and receiving approval of the courses they had selected . At one point the line stretched from the registration centre in Budge H all along a corridor, around the outer rim of the Central Y lobby and out into Drummond street. Motive of the first-day applicants was to register for courses before they were fill ed. By 9 p.m. three courses were posted on a blackboard as "closed." Sir George which had its beginnings 79 years ago as the educational arm of the Montreal Y.M.C.A., offers undergraduate training in three faculties-arts, science · and commerce. Last year there were 3,550 students in the day and evening divisions. Day students can normally win a degree after four years of study, but for students who study at night six or seven years is the usual time.

"Students have to devote too m uch time to becoming profi cient in their own professions. The danger that a student will know about his own subject and nothing more grows in productions to the study he puts into it," he said. T he leading Australian educa tor was visiting McGill U niversity while on a four-month overseas tour. H e arrived from Britain where he attended a Commonwealth U niversities Conference at Cambridge. ( · More than 600 Cor::imonwealth and American delegates discussed university problems at the conference. "All universities should fry to tackle this acute p roblem of ~xcessive specializa tion. K nowledge grows so much volume each year that more and more of a student's time is necessary to make him p rofi cient in his specialized fi eld, Sir John stated. "Another problem· is to find some way to get the mass of the people interested in adult education. There are still too many men and women in every country that adult education has never appealed to," h e said.

Clarke. Student applications were well above last year. A total of 462 courses are being given this year in the Evening Division alone. Last year more than two-thirds of the total enrollment of 6,557 students studied at night. Sir George Williams College and Schools, par of the Montreal Y.M.C.A., includes besides the college, a high school, elementary school, business school, school of art, and, for the first time, a school of retailing. Ages of students seeking to continue their education range from 17 to 50, Mr. Clarke said. Most of the students in the Day Division are coming to College straight from high school. The far greater number of students, those in the Evening Division, however, are adults who are planning to work at jobs and study on a part-time basis. A student ready to begin at college level, can expect to get his degree in six years, studying at night and continuing to work at his full-time occupation, Mr. Clarke said. Degrees offered at Sir George Williams, include bachelor of arts, of science, and of commerce. Every prospective students is interviewed before registration by Mr. Clarke or a member of his staff. These preliminary interviews are helpful in guiding the student in his course of study, particularly if he is one of the many who must carry their courses in addition to a full-time · job. One interview which Mr. Clarke particularly remembers was with a newcomer to Canada, a man in his 30's, who had been in legal practise in the European country of his birth. The student wished to study draughting, and Mr. Clark_e remarked sympathetically that it seemed too bad he could not continue in tne profession for which he had been trained. "No at all," said the newcomer, "I studied law only because my mother insisted. I hated every minute of it, and I'm only too pleased to have the chance now to make my own choice !" q~ et:i,11, Noac -'lu;I,, s.cl,oo/, q"aJ Qet u ~Jue Qeo!Ujio,11/' 'kluu 11/J/.u,,,,,; 11 ~IUJphf/ "ANDY WARD, editor of The Georgian, tells us that graduates who want to keep up with all the latest IGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD G erald news at the ·college can now subscribe to E Bataille, 974 Old Orchard avenu~, the weekly paper. was recently awarded the Ian Mac This year there will be 21 issues and a kenzie trophy for highland dancing special rate of $1.00 per year is being which he brought back to the Province charged.

And for good reason- Bill is the first of the college's graduates to be elected a M ember of Parliament. By a 1,206 majority Bill was elected M.P. for Notre Dame de Grace in the recent federal elections- making him the first Progressive Conservative member on the Island of Montreal since 1935. But after chatting with Bill, you find this likeable fellow ·is pretty proud of Sir George himself. As he puts it-"I honestly believe the contacts I made at Sir George played a big part in my victory." H e met a lot of people in his campaign "rounds" more than 10,000 in all- but he admits that re:newing old college friendships was the most pleasant part of it. . It was Bill's first · venture into federal politics- but he made sure it was a success. Every morning for weeks prior to the election, he met the electors "face to face" at bus and streetcar stops in his riding. H e would introduce himself to them, shake their hands and present them with special campaign pamphlets. This new method, exhausting though it may have been, paid off in the end. The voters remembered Bill. They admired his determination, his straight forward ness, and above all they knew he was a man thy could depend upon. And you can rest assured the people of N.D.G. aren't sorry they put Bill H amilton in o.ffice. Though Parliq.ment doesn't reconvene until next month, he hasn't stopped working since the election. His vitality before, during and since the election has amazed all his co-workers and friends. Just for the records this is how the election results looked after they h ad been tallied : Bill H amilton, P.C., 16,391 ; Fred Whitman, Liberal, 15,185 ; and Alan Brown, CCF, 1,117. Incidentally the election was described as "the longest and most energetic Federal election campaign in the history of the riding." Bill's climb has been a real story of success. H e rose from a rank and fil e member of the Young M en's Section of the Montreal Board of Trade during 1945-50 through vice-president to become the Section's representative on h e Montreal City Council . .. And he also found time to serve as vice-president of St. Andrew's Youth Centre and he was also a big help to his father in administering the Montreal Royals Hockey Club ... In O ctober he was still working at his desk as general manager of the Advertising and Sales Executives Club of Montreal. H e just lives on work. Now he go\ s on to Ottawa- and with him goes the best wishes of Sir George Williams College. It just couldn't have h appened to a nicer grad!

Boisvert, Gertrude Bro- Continued on page 52 October 1953 51 OR THE second time in half a dozen years, a Canadian history has appeared, F "Canada, a Story of Challenge," by Professor J. M. S. Careless, of the University of Toronto. "Why," the average Canadian m ay wonder, "should we, already acclaimed as one of the important powers in the world, now begin writing our history? Surely, we have histories enough?" We have histories enough. W e have, in fact, too many histories. W e have histories printed in Toronto and Quebec and Winnipeg and British Columbia and Halifax. Most of them, until now, have refl ected, to an unfortunate degree, their site of printing. The reason why Professor D . G. Creighton's "Dominion of the North" and Professor Careless' "Canada" a re welcomed is because they seek to go beyond sectional differences, to provide texts that can be useful everywhere in Canada . To avoid the racial and religious disputes that are caused by regional text books, Canadian primary schools have, in many cases, given up the teaching of real Canadian history. They console themselves with innocuous- and misleading list of names, d ates, battles and discoveries. This is not history. After 1760, sighs the schoolchild, nothing happens. And the adult Canadian, because he gets no Canadian history after grammar school, agrees . . This is a tragic misunderstanding. Mackenzie went to the Arctic and Fraser to the Pacific in canoes ; Quebec French-Canadians and Ontario English-Canadians repelled American invaders in the War of 1812 ; Canadian timber helped build Nelson's navy while Maritime clipper-ships became famous around the world; politics were hot, and the rebellions of 1837 did not cool them ; Montrealers burned the parliament buildings in 1849. All this happened after 1760. And what could be more courageous than the banding-together of the four eastern colonies into a Dominion with an avowed aim of linking together the whole northern half of this continent? And what could be more magnificent than the fact that they did it? Canadians delight in recounting instances of American ignorance of Canada. The sad truth is they are rather ignorant of Canada themselves. The production of such books as Professor Careless' history may help to rem edy that situation. REPRINTED FROM "THE GAZETTE."
