Patricia Young Says

North America

Just what ac-

Probably the fact that the
problems we talk about are far
removed from our lives—as if
we were trying to walk in the
shoes of a Peruvian peasant
who had never earned more
than a $100 a year!

To begin with, it {s not in
our human nature to go around
looking for trouble, unless one
happens to be a professional
revolutionary. Should we be-
come vay larmed when a
problem is brought’ to our.
attention, we tend to react,
either by burying our head in
the sand or dismissing the facts
as “hysterical” or “eraotional”.

Secondly, few North Am-
ericans have ever experienced
hunger, flood, famine or
‘drought. Few have lived under
the dictatorship of Communism
‘or Facism. We do. not know
what it is to live without soap,
atioes automobiles or packaged

s.

We have not lived in the
shadow of a “live” volcano,
experienced a revolution or a
plague. And while a few old
timers-may remember some of
the horrors of the depression,
millions of citizens have never
known what it feels like to go
without a meal, let alone a day
without food. How many of us
have ever suffered a hole in our
shoe or been without a roof
over our head?

because we are
apotte in our affluence, we

spend our time looking for
flawa in the system under
which we live, in picking at
personallties. The open line
radio shows are replete with
citizens who complain about a
neighbors dog, the mailman,
the price of booze or the way a
waitress wore her hair while
serving the soup!

We simply cannot compre-
hend the horror of a secret

‘What teenager has never
ridden in an automoblle? What.
wife has ever been without
cooking oll? What father in
North-America ever had to
watch has children starve to
death, as in India,

To the contrary, every
‘year, the sale of booze is up, as
is the take at our racetracks,
sporting events and travel.
More people buy boats ‘and
camera equipment each year.

e trouble with affluence
is that it tends to blurr our
perspectives, Rather than ap-
preciating our standard of
Iving, we take it asa divine
right and look upon it as the
norm, +

McCormack, assistant profes
sor of sclence eduention at the
University of B.C.

Their entry, ‘utled Tnven-
tion’ Workshops: Children.
Search for a Better Mousetrap,
‘won the top award “in recogni-
tion of significant contribution
to the advancement and im-
provement of science educa-
tion.”

“Mr. Dof's other prize was a
share in third place for the
Gustav Ohaus award for inno-
vative science teaching, a topic
‘about which he has some firm
beliefs.

“If we produce more crea-
tive teachers, perhaps we can
get more youngsters excited
about learning,” he says.

“Tl realize that teachers’
hands are ted due. to budget
‘restrictions, a Jack of materials,
bureaucracy and the realities of
tight teaching schedules, but
the truly creative teacher can
overcome these restrictions.

“There are too many con-
ventional teachers, Creativity
spurs on creativity. By doing
the sort of things we are
suggesting teachers become
exelted and, in turn, their kids
become excited. Ideas are con-
tagious. They ride piggy-back
‘on one another.”

Mr. Doi's path to success,

however, wasn't an easy Toad.

He Had completed one year

He missed the start of the
new year and dropped out.

+ Six months later he found
himsolf stacking .wood at a
Slocan sawmill,

“It was winter and I was
working the graveyard shift,
from midnight until 7 a.m.

“T think it was the coldest
winter they had ever had.
Often it was 16 or 20 below
zero,” he says.

“It gave me a chance to do
a lot of thinking about the.
future. You start to. question
things about yourself. ‘What
are you doing? What do you
want to do?’

“I knew I wanted to go to
university, rather than do
‘another year in college and 1
decided to move to Vancouver.”

He enrolled in an ele-
mentary science education
course and met Mr. McCor-

. his teacher. - +

“I didn't think education
was my bag. It was only when I

it into’ a course like Alan's,
which really turned me on, that
I found myself.”

The guidance helped Mr.
Do}. When he graduated and
began teaching at North Star
Elementary School in North
Vancouver, he started to put)

some of the ideas into practice.

“The best way to encour-
age and motivate creative
thinking fs to pose challenging
questions. Give the kids a
problem and let them work it
out," he says.

He challenged his class to
design a means of softlanding
eggs dropped from a height.of
30 feet. Many of them could,
and did.

“Almost. without, knowing
it they’ became involved in
studying such things as air
pressure, gravity, velocity,
height and distance,” Mr. Doi
says. “The method takes them
time but they. get involved.

‘Among factors to be con-

sldered are family size, age of
the parents, stability of the
marriage, and willingness of
‘one of the partners to have the
operation.

It is-most important to
reallze that the operation is
‘meant to be permanent, and no

one should have it done with
the thought that he or she can
be “unsterilized” at a later date,

‘Techniques are available to
“undo” the sterilization, but
these are very difficult, fre-
quently {perhaps usually) un-
successful,-and seldom at-
tempted.

There is little to choose
between the two operations,
