Sa Culfure fs First Concern

Dear Sir:

My interest Is often stirred
by clippings from the Castlegar
News which are sent to me.
‘Thia ‘time I'am more than
intereated—I am also con-
cerned!

T see in an article from
your issue of Aug. 21 that John
Holden has returned to the

thankful I did graduate before
he came.

Thope his attitudes are
misrepresented in the article
because I think the people of

Italian, Indian, Doukhobor,
Portuguese—Canadians all

better awareness of

district to becom
dent of schools, The reporting
of his comments’ and the
attitudes displayed by him
leave in me a deep sadness and
some dispalr at the thought of
his controlling a school district
containing many diverse and
beautiful cultural heritages,

Tam saddened because his
comments about his exper-
iences in the Yukon point toa
man who fs insensitive and,
apparently, intolerant of cul-
tural differences and who does
not consider a willingness to
share a valuable trait. On the
contrary, your article indicates
that he views sharing as
cheating.

Consider his comment,
quoted as a criticism: “the
tative children had little con-

ceptof time and they arrived at.

school in their own good time.”

+ He misses the point that
the native culture has a differ.
ent concept of time than does
our Western industrial culture
—a concept much more closely
allgned to the natural forces of
the earth and the person's own
body.

To the extent that the
education system should be set
up to suit its constituents,
where was the attempt by Mr.
Holden to adjust the school
rather than the children? Or
were his comments just badly
repor!

‘The last two paragraphs of
the article give me the im-
pression that John Holden ts
