0001 January 12, 1933, THE WEST VAN NEWS I ? ii I5 i8 i8 ?5 CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor I 8 West Van News. Dear Sir: -- On reading the interesting prise essay by Miss Marjorie Paton in your issue of January 6th, I was reminded of a discussion on this same sub- ject, "Fxlucation" that took place a good many years ago in one of the prairie districts of Manitoba. Many illuminating letters were published but one in par- ticular was outstanding and wide in outlook. It was from 0 woman and signed "Retired School-Teacher" I quote from memory one or two points-- "That a certain amount of drudgery was of advantage to the student for drudgery has to be faced in preparation for sny career and Indeed in any walk of life." "What is the object of educa- tion? Certainly not the passing of examinations, however, bene- ficial that may be in its way; but--the formation oi char- acter." "What is the test value of education? That those educated may in after life be 'ready't the call of duty." Truly yours, M. A. HAMILTON SMITH. CORRESPONDENCE Editor, West Van News. Dear Sir:--With your permis- sion I beg for space in your col- umns for the following: To the few the unexpected has happened, to the many the ex- tV ed hss taken place, Miss est Vancouver has called for an election, she says that she abhors the word acclamation. A bewailing voice has been heard as if from tbe wilderness, lamenting the existing condi- tions of this fair realm (lowing with milk and honey, in which neither privation nor suffering exists (?) it is the voice of Miss West Vancouver as she wanders forth to announce sn election. As she travels up the leading artery of her seat of local gov- ernment, I was invited by her to be s companion, of inspection through her Temple, as she leads me through the corridors, she shows me the quarters of one of her highly paid officials who also acts as secretary to the Ceme- tery Board, which, she thought an extra indemnity was paid, then I was lead to the seat of engineering accomplishments, which also included the depart- ment of plans, speciflcstions, and permits, where also another highly remunerated oificial act- ed as Secretary to the Police Commission for which surely sn extra revenue is derived. Miss Van. then pointed out to me an- other exuberant paid oificial in the water works department, while, as she mentioned, there were idle subjects of hers equal- ly capable of filling these dupli- cated positions at less cost. Inviting me to view the newly sown lawns, I ventured to ask for what reason all this waste of public money while her streets were in need of repair, with a sign of her hand not to be too inquisitive, at the same time whispering in my ear, per- haps the grass grown is going to be rationed out for relief pur- poses, then she pointed to that massive piece of stone masonry engineering, well built with skil- led labor but looking as if at one end a cave in had taken place, and one end sinking into the bowels of the earth. Then she pointed to her thread-bare snd worn garments which had been so lavishly placed upon her on two Msy Day celebrations, by 8 great exponent of oratorical effulgence, as well as to her shoes which although shiny and neat, were, underneath out of public view, full of leakages. Miss Van then opened her heart, full of sorrow for her suf- fering subjects while her shep- herds were living on the fat of the flocks. She said, "On the 14th instant, I am asking the electors to remove my tattered garments, and reclothe me with garments, free from stain, from partiality, but adorned with the emblems of equal rights, other- wise there looms upon the hori- xon that which will be non-palp- able and labeled in boldness of type thus: 'Improvement Tax'." Which this Municipality is fast travelling towards, then our stores will be empty, as well ss our schools, our streets desolate, in which alone the idle rich will dwell. Electors, we want 8 change all along the line. "VOTE TO- WARDS THAT END."
