He was the polemical native son who achieved-only patchy recognition in the state of his birth. Still, Idaho's centennial project for the poet, critic and translator has attempted to warm the public to Pound.

The simple house in Hailey where Pound spent the first two years of his life still stands not far from the centre of town and bears a plaque to mark it. The town's museum includes a Pound display, the University of Idaho maintains a Pound collection and there have been a few Idaho articles about the poet whose literary achievement was drakened by a partisan cloud.

But time is of the. essence. “This is our opportunity to have the people of BC fill the host’ pavilion, the gateway to Expo 86 with their creative statements about who we are, where we live, why we live here, and what we do living here,” Harris said. “There's lots of room for traditional arts reflecting on the regional theme, as well as the unique talents of many of our local residents, such as mine rescue, Doukhobor foods or tree. planting.” Authors at He isn’t about to ingratiate himself with viewers when he says things like, “I have more depth than Cosby.” critics in Phoenix, Ariz. working-class Wilson and Knight play a family with Selkirk College Wilson's co-star in the ser- ies is singer Gladys Knight, three recociou: kids, but the laughs are Three d. ing Can- Several sections of the lat- ter work deal with the influx ther I can be as successful as aman as I was as a woman.

Hardman teaches at Sir Bernard Lovell, a school with about 1,000 students in Bristol, 10 kilometres west of Bath. He has a degree in math and economics from Sussex University in Brighton and also holds “4 post-graduate: certificate in education. He has been teaching for five years. One major difference between England and B.C. is a teacher's salary. Hardman said a teacher in England with five years of experience, such as himself, makes between 8,000 and 9,000 pounds a-year. In Canadian dollars, based on current exchange rates, that equals about $15,000 to $17,000 a year, not exactly a princely sum when compared to the amount B.C.’s teachers make. In Castlegar, a teacher with a university degree and ~ five years of experience makes $32,386 “I think teachers have fallen back a “little (in wages ROBERT HARDMAN .. tirst time in Castlegar But the high level of unemployment in England is changing that, he said. “The trend now is that brighter students take jobs if they get a chance at one. A lot of students, perhaps not as bright, go back for one more year.” Hardman said the British government also came up with a program called the Youth Training Service which is designed to give students work experience and also, he adds with a grin, keep: many young people off the unemployment rolls. Hardman said that some firms also use the YTS asa source. of cheap labor. Nevertheless, he said, the YTS is now ‘being incorporated into the British school system.

For example, Hardman’s school is what he calls an 11 to 18 school, the numbers referring to the students’ ages, and is “basically the equivalent of a high school in Canada,” he said. Although there are no grade levels in England, students must still follow a set syllabus or curriculum and must write “external exams which Hardman compared to B.C.'s provincial exams. ; Like students here, British students write the exams in May and June.
