Accident prevention must be an important part of our day to day activities. It is only when we all accept responsibility for it that total safety is achieved.

SERVING THE DISTRICT TERRACE BAY NEWS JANUARY 4, 1968 TIME IS THE PROBLEM {© Mosr comPETITIVE AREA today is not sport, not business, and not love or war. It's the school curriculum. When a speaker was asked the other week by a member of the audience if something specific could not be done through the schools to instil a respect for law in those young people who demand personal freedom without personal reponsibility, the wise answer implied that the school cur- _ riculum had just about reached saturation point. Some people want schools to teach their students how to drive a car. Others say it can't be justified because there is not enough time in the school day. Engineers at a meeting of the Calgary branch of the Engineering Institute of Canada recently advocated a course in local schools on pollution. They found lots of good reasons for it, including a reduction in city costs if the students got the message. In some schools classes are held on when ash how to make use of credit buying. The president of a company engaged in market research and land development, John W. Combs of Toronto, sug- gested in a panel discussion that schools should teach young people about land use in order that they would understand the possibilities for improved living that can come about through modern planning. And so it goes, and there is a good deal of merit in all the proposals. Probably no generation has ever kept up to the knowl- edge available to it and not many people ever learn fast enough to take full advantage of their own changing en- vironments. In a simpler world, it used to be enough 'to sit back and let nature take its course, but things are moving faster today and people may have to be jolted out of their 19th century thinking. Some people fear that proven values and principles will go by the board, some- thing that need not happen if there is conscious effort to keep what is good. Those who had the opportunity and the time to tour all of Expo 67 had a short course on Man and His World. Maybe the schools should build on this foundation a course on Your Environment and How to Live In It. Of course, there are a few difficulties: the teachers will have to find the spare periods and the curriculum planners will face the problem of keeping the content up-to-date. reprinted from THE PRINTED WORD
