J, McKenzie during the Education Week Assembly at the High School Monday afternoon, should, if used as food for thotight, dispel many mistalten notions about education. '' “Education,” Mr. McKenzie said: “is learning to live.” That’s the best definition of education we ourselves. have ever heard or run across. It’s quite apparent,. however, that itvisn’t the yneaning and purpose that most students and parents give to educa- ion, The most popular theory is that Education is preparation for a good job. Boys and girls go to school, say these people, so that they can qualify for the,best jobs available, In fact, however, school, which as Mr. McKenzie also pointed out is only the formal side of education, has failed for the student who comes out prepared to qualify for professional training and nothing else. Education is not complete unless it has drawn the best there is:in the student, out of possibility into actual fact. Indeed, if edu- cation has not given the student a‘keener appreciation of the joys of life and has not trained him to treat problems as challenges rather than obstacles, education for that student is almost a failure, :regardless of. what so-called “good-jobs” it has lead him to. This can be proved by a little thought on how each man, woman and child begins life. Each infant coming into the world, except for .size, and appearance differs little from an animal. Ail the things it will become, the.kind of man or woman it will be, how it will live its life, is all still a bundle of possibilities. From the first day of its birth, its education begins. Each new step in its bringing-up determines what kind of child — and later adult, the infant will grow up to be, Education is not the only determinant of course, but certainly the CASTLE NEWS, Castlegar, B.C.

For many months past now, people in the Castlegar istrict ihave been talking and thinking “How wonderful it would. be if there were a hospital at CastIéBar. ag A.certain group all this; while, have. been doing more than talking or: thinking about the matter.

Five minutes would show them how far wrong they are and they would leave dering how it was for a handful of residents to accomplish so much in a few, months, District residents will have a chance to show just how sincere they are in their expressions of longing for a hospital, Next Tuesday evening, the annual Theeting of the Castlegar and District. Hospital Society will be held in the Parish Hall. One ‘of, the mem- pers of the Society has declared: “This will be the most important meeting Castlegar has ever had.” The reason for this statement is that the 1953 officers: of the Society will be.elected, at- this meeting, The men and women voted into office will be the ones supervising the actual building of a hos- pital at-Castlegar, once the petition for the hospital district has been approved by at least 80 percent of the district's landowners. This means that the persons who are to be voted in as officers, should be the best. the district has available. ; The capable officers so necessary. however, will be assured only if the meeting is well at this ting too, will prove that the district does want a hospital; that the efforts of the Committee have not been in vain, and that the expressions of desire for a hospital at Castlegar, are sincere. In other words, we’ve talked and thought about how nice it would be to have a hospital, long enough; the time is now at hand to prove we mean what we think and say. - d save for the o the. of the competitions, ete, have been held We ‘would appreciate it if you|in the gym. would publish these letters in The Board has. never refused your paper of this week. the rental of the. gymnasium if Thanking you, ;|the -program is. cultural or edu- WATCH REPAIRS.
