CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March 27, 1958 Do Clothes Affect School Record Do clothes moke the man — including that em- bryo of a man known as the schoolboy? Officials of the American Institute of Men's and Boy‘s Wear, Inc., in the United States, have fallen in line with the research findings of police and social workers which claim that there is a definite relation- ship between dress ond behavior. The clothiers are taking this cue to add their contribution to the im- provement of young people. And they insist that their project isn't just a drive to sell more clothes. By E.G.0. ™ I went to dinner with friends last night and then to a meeting of the University of British Col- umbia Alumni Association of Victoria, Contrary to all frequent tule, this meeting was both in- As Louis Pfeifle, the general ger of the Men's and Boy’s Wear Institute states: ‘Take the nicest boy in the class and dress him like'a jerk and he will become a jerk. Dress him right, and you put the lid on delinquency.” Maybe he is stretching the latter point, but all the same, it has been proven that good grooming im- proves a boy's attitude to school work, as well as to life all round by as much as 100 per cent. We recall reading of a high school principal in one of the western provinces of Canada who took the bull by the horns some months ago and insisted that all his male students appear at school nattily dressed. His theory was that if businessmen want well dressed young men to work for them they might as well get accustomed to it in school. He argued that business- men wanted well dressed employees because it gave . them a sense of confidence and therefore a.better ap- proach to their work. He applied the idea to the class- room routine and found that in a short time it worked, School principals in Buffalo, N.Y., have also reported that the same technique improved classwork, \, The psychology of the idea appears quite sound. ‘Tale anyone who answers the doorbell. .If she is greeted by a sloppily dressed person his reaction is to be disinterested from the stort. But if the caller is a smartly dressed person, the latter stands at feast a good chance of getting a hearing. Or take the boy who has what is known as a "heavy date’. Is he inclined to be sloppily dressed? The chances are that he takes extra precautions to make himself appear in the best light. a We have felt for some time that too many pa ‘ents and school officials have been inclined to let the young people dictate what they will wear to school — not what is best for them or, for the most part, look smart, : ing and Also since it does cast the shadow of things to come as well as the shadows of things now, I would like to tell you something about % The purpose of the mecting was two-fold —- to elect a new slate of officers and to report on the progress of the Alumni Dev- elopment Fund. Fortunately the committee had a good job and the elections were over in a few minutes, and Stu Keate, publisher of the Victoria Daily Times re- ported that the Fund would pro- bably top its Victoria objective of $133,000, Then Doctor W. C. Gibson M.A, M.D, Ph.D, ete., Director of Neurological Studies at U. B.

How it had grown to its present enrolment of 9,000 stu- dents and a parking problem of over 2,000 cars and how in fif- teen years it would grow to three times that size, in which the pro- blem of students getting from one building to another in time would be just one of the lesser ,| difficulties.

This complex of gro- wth of course can increase, he pointed out, to such a degree as to become too unwieldy for ei- ficient operation. The answer therefore he went on to say, was to decentralize some of the pre- liminary training, Scme Vietor- ians, for instance, are agitating for a full university here Victoria College. This he felt was a short sighted view since it would mean duplication of facil- ities already available at U.B.C. What was really necded was expanded facilities at the pre- specialization levels, the first and second year levels. And this is where supporters cf the, col- lege at Notre Dame at Nelson and those who dream of colleges in other areas in the provinces must press and make their de- mands heard. We need to culti- vate our most valuable national resource — the grey brain cells of our students, By having col- leges scattered all over the pro- vince within a federated relation- ship with U.B.C, we can not on- ly permit the University to dev- elep its more advanced stream of learning but start a number of ‘ributaries.to tup our intellectual vesources and feed the deeper at The aircraft industry — one of Canada’s newest in the large industry field — made sales in UUM AA 1957 In excess of $355,000,000.

No child who has experienced the wonder into lovely blossoms is ever go- Ing to destroy the neighbour's flowerbeds. A child of four is old enough to have his own little garden plot. Let thé child choose’ his own flowers or vegetables to be grown. You can do this by let- ting him look at the pictures ina seed catalogue, although it would be better to buy a number of package of seeds and let him choose from these. In this way you will be sure that the plants chosen will be easy to grow and useful. If your child is the im- patient type, you might be wise to choose the fast-growing vari- eties or let him put in young plants rather than seeds.

A pint-sized private watering can is something the child will cher- ish, There will come a time when the crop is to be harvested. If there are flowers to cut for the house, sho wthe child which ones to choose and-how to cut them so that they will last as long as possible and decorate the home. Children tackle their own home- grown vegetables with a relisn that is lacking with the store- bought kind. There are many lessons a wise parent can teach a child through the glories of gardening.
