Cranbrook, in south e 'B.C., is about the last place their wrath. ; It would be interesting to know if the French government proposes to pay trans- portation: and any other costs of these publications that are to come on the news- stands ‘in. Quebec. The beginning of such subsidy, -if there is to be:a beginning, might be viewed innocently, but it-is cer- tain that no government would continue long in’ financial support, direct or in- direct, of any publications that do not promote its policies. — The Printed Word Juded ‘out dish some of the trustees i ti to make a survey of the. informat needs ‘Of the Toronto Board of Education would have done less than its duty if it had not dealt with what is usually the . basic reason for any organization’s order- ing such a survey. The study of inform- ational needs nine times out of 10. means the study of why the organization gets a ‘pad press, and what to do about it.The reason for the ‘bad press ig usually. bad policies. i Jt follows that the consultant retain- ed by the big city board for a fee of $5,000 could hardly have failed to im- clude in his report a reference to. the board’s extravagance, and its tendency to spend a let of the taxpayers’ money on what the taxpayers think -are frills. Con- -spicuous waste is what causes taxpayers to look nowadays with a jaundiced eye on many of the activities of elected school boards. Failure to say so would have meant that the consultant didn’t earn his fee. Epithets directed at the. report by Opportunists are B One of the great preachers was the late Dr. Richard Roberts,.a preacher's preacher at whose feet sat figuratively many ministers.of the gospel. Once when he was introducing himself to a large congregation, ‘he said that he was critical of the’ saying that honesty is the best policy. The point he made so forcefully in that service 30 years @go was. that hon- esty should ‘prevail even if it were not the best policy. } e This is analagous to what should be the situation in the realm of private ° industry, private entenprise or private capital. There are people who believe in private enterprise because under a sys- fem of private enterprise there is the greatest degree of freedom for.the people, he had to. Tt Weill be 'Bétter to say that a mitich greater ‘degree of’ freedom than there ‘can be under socialism, government- ism, 6r’commiunism. But private enterprise people have a ippant, _irresponsibl arrogant and smartalecky. And one trustee question- ed whether it was ethical for an outsider consultant to: produce such a ‘document when he was only supposed to be giving advice on an information policy. |... The ruffled trustees might be remind- ed. that public relations and public inform- ation techniques are misused if they are ‘used for: the purpose of white-washing. They never should be used to justify un- wisdom. : ; Perhaps the public relations commit- tee of that board of education should con- cern itself not only with its informational role, but should also constitute itself the conscience of the board, the. still, small voice. The consultant might have been wiser not to have. quoted chapter and verse —.the broadloom, swimming pools _and. underground parking: — but his re- port may jolt the board into a realization that it is elected ‘to represent the taxpay- ers, and that there. should be a sense of stewardship in its administration of public funds. .— The Printed Word you'd. expect to shoot ele- phants.
