He glances at the clock on the wall, opens his desk drawer and pulls out a bag of suckers for the visitors he's expecting. They arrive right on schedule. ‘The school’s kindergarten class has finished for the day and, in what has become something of a daily ritual, several of its wander into 's d office for a brief visit. Hugs are exchanged, suckers handed out and the visitors Ramsankar ‘smiles, returns to his seat and tries to explain what makes his school special. “My door is always open,” says the man who received the Order of Canada in 1983 for his work at the inner-city school. “The kids can wander in whenever they like. I don't like them to be seared of me.” They aren't. SMILES AND HUGS When Ramsankar walks down the school’s wide hallways, his students — who come from more than 20 different ethnic backgrounds — greet him with wide smiles and the occasional hug. He is more than a principal to his students. He is kind of a surrogate father. His school was built in 1908 and named after a prominent Edmonton pioneer.

It is in one of Edmonton's more depressed areas, dotted with boarded-up businesses and run-down buildin, 3. Most of the students are the children of immigrant parents and more than half have Oriental ancestry. The school’s student body is a virtual United Nations. Ramsankar, principal for 15 years, has much in common with many of his students. He is an immigrant who came to Canada 31 years ago from Trinidad at age 19. He said the ability to integrate students who are new Canadians has been a key to the success of Alex Taylor. “One of our most important functions is to teach people to get along together, and by using students from around the world we have demonstrated it can be done.” tits Kids from all backgrounds at school ane 8 aa ae Swoniel So Sree been swearing a bive streak and has ‘The school serves mere than iis 180 studenta asd has gained acclaim for its work in the surrounding neighbor- hood. ft meter of Se weatente’ parents are on their own and can't afford started a Gorviae. tex taaghes paveaate SERVES HOT LUNCH When he learned: that a number of elderly residents in the area were alone with no family, he opened a drop-in centre for them.

One thing Canada has never been to Americans, the former New York Times Toronto correspondent says, is understood. And with their country ch ing “so ically yet Canada explained resources the way the United States did more than a century ago, Malcolm suggests. More than anything, the business activity in American markets. s. book is thus the antithesis of most American journalistic writing about foreign countries. Malcolm, who criss-crossed Canada almost continual- hd fooler his four years in the Times's Toronto bureau, so quietly,” he adds, even many Canadians don’t seen to understand it. With their self-effacing national “why bother?” i are ly the last to realize what is esasie and exciting about their country, Malcolm says. But the mature new Canada can no longer be ignored by either Americans or Canadians, he warns. Canada “finds itself swept by a series of inexorable natural forces that are altering forever the comfortable first-cousin that has ch ized North American relations,” Malcolm writes. And for the first time, North Americans, charmed by their like-minded heads of government and perhaps as curious as they've ever been about each other, just might be interested in the warning. ‘The Canadians, released only last weekend in the United States, has already been excerpted in daily newspapers on both sides of the border, featured on breakfast television here and selected as Book-of-the-Month in Canada and as the book club's alternate in the United States.

Sergey Gorshkow, who is also deputy defence minister, said in an article in the armed forces newspaper Red Star that nuclear-powered sub- marines carrying long range ballistic missiles form a major part of the Soviet Union's naval capability. “In these are concentrated a major strike force, high mobility, low vulnerability and the capacity to carry out actions on a global scale to wipe out strategic enemy targets on land,” Gorshkov said. The development of sophisticated new weaponry has extended the combat capacity of Soviet surface ships, he said, and warned dotal account of Canadi: asa dy ic, even interesting, people emerging as a nation almost despite themselves. The vast, divisive, unforgiving geography of Canada has created a frontier nation only now mastering its this criticism in the book, arguing that cued especially Canadian reporters and commen- tators, are often oblivious to the most interesting aspects of the country. CANADIANS PUZZLED “The fact that it is one of the very few remai undeveloped frontiers in an industrialized society didn't seem to matter in the Canadian mind,” Malcolm writes of the Yukon after being asked by puzzled Canadians why he “would ever want to go there.” Malcolm's i of Canada in his section on “the increasingly strained relations with the United States comes in for criticism from some nationalists, who see his argument about emerging Canadian “maturity” and the national inferior- ity complex as condescending. At the launching Malcolm, seizing a simile to explain how the relationship has changed, said Canada and the United States are like brothers separated in age by four years, growing up together. “The six-year-old is just delighted to be included in the games of the 10-year-old,” said Malcolm. “He just wants to play. And the 10-year-old delights in the respect.” “But when they get to be on about 10 and 14, the 10-year-old gets fed up about losing all the time, or feeling he's losing, and starts trying to tackle the older guy a little harder.” school's achi much of the praise. “It takes a special type of person to be a teacher, but in a school such as this, you need a unique type of individual who is willing to go the second mile or even beyond.” But Ramsankar is the driving force behind the school. It is he who has had to battle with his bosses, who haven't always approved of the way he operates Alex Taylor. “See these knuckles,” he said holding up his hand. “They've been rapped a few times.” But he said it has been worth it. The school is gaining an international reputation and this spring Ramsankar will speak in Chicago to educationists from across North America. It’s another in a long list of honors for a man the Cree Indians of the area call Chief Bigheart. But Ramsankar said his real satisfaction comes from some of the small victories he and his staff have achieved over the years. “This school has become the hub of the community and it’s sort of a sanctuary for some people,” he said. “Not long ago the native people in the community were reluctant to use our school. Now they walk into the staff room and have coffee with us. To me, that’s progress.” Talking to the Ssi2 egar News Do you have a news story or feature you want to tell us about? has received most of the plaudits for the but said the d staff deserves Would you like to speak to someone about the delivery of your paper?
