How many teach- ers would rather be up a pow- er pole ‘in a storm fixing a broken line or be lying on their side under a building fixing pipes than teaching? We are agreed that Canadians prefer to spend more on “ma- terial things” than on “spiri- tual,” yet I fail to understand what is meant by “mental.” Surely people can spend their money as they like, that is a part of our Canadian way of life. Par. 2), Brings up the higher salary question and in- fers that all we have to do is $2.45 y higher aries to teach- get better teaching. This is a fallacy.

For after studying the editorial it seems to boil down to much higher salaries and placing the teachers in a kind of superman class. We might study the editorial paragraph Par. 1). Why shouldn't skill- ed workers be as highly paid How many Criticized | l ) to have a kind of third de-| gree or special screening of) those wishing to take up teaching? What is needed is to make it easier for those wish- ing to become teachers by en- feo! them in every way possible and not by a contin- Jual yapping about the low Balaries, which is not true. There is no doubt that there is a hard core who continually keep the salary question stir- lred up, but again, there are | jcertainly many teachers that are satisfied with the present isalaries. The last part of the para- graph is really good, which says, “Then people of charac- |ter and ability will be attract-| ed to teaching as they now) ‘are to engineering, etc” Just | when was the “character and jability” of engineers any bet- ter than that of our teachers lor any other group of society? It goes without saying that the character and ability of our present teachers are just as good as that of the engineers. ; Why is it nece: y to heap lsuch insultin uations on} our teachers inferred by fen The thinking people of B.C. appreciate your proposed evelopments and desire for “A BETTER WORLD.” Lithium Waters may well be proven in this White Rock area.
