When she was purchasedand put in service in B. C.her name was changed tothe "Geo. S. Pearson" inhonor of a famous B.C.pol-itician of the day.

Even though her name

has seemed somewhat incon-gruous for a vessel, "she"has served hundreds of trav-ellers true and well.

Her disposition is notimmediately known but it isexpected that she will stillsee service in another loca-tion.

E D I T O R I A L PAGEDean Alfange once wrote - " I do not wish to be a

common man. It is my right to be uncommon. I seek oppor-tunity to develop whatever talents God gave me - notsecurity. I do not wish to be a kept citizen "

Could this feeling among some of our citizens be areason why several protests are being organized againstthe rising costs to the taxpayer for education?

The Federal Government has at last got into the actwith some grants-in-aid. The cost of educating ouryoungsters is showing an alarming spiral.

As with other aspects of life that are part of oursocial heritage such as religion, social security, etc.,no-one is against education. Few men-on-the-streeteverquery the trends in educational philosophy.

For our part we wonder if all the moneys beingpoured into expensive school and college buildings isreally necessary. We note a common trend toward theconcept that the greater the cost of the buildings, themore prestige gained by the school. The significance ofmore and more elaborate facilities for higher educationseems to be the announcement of how many millions itcost, not how much more effective the educational pro-gram it offers.

Effective learning can take place in a barn. Ofcourse there is no need why it should. Comfort has be-come an expectation in our lives. But should we encour-age the most expensive and sometimes even the bizarrein our school planning and design?

We also note the N. D.P. has for years advocatedfree education and deplores the governments for not im-plementing it. Pressure is now full swing in favor of this ,idea.

Our values are more and more oriented to "cost".Most things that are free are fast losing favor in oursociety. Education, whether for the six year old or the26 year old should cost the recipient as much as he isable to afford. Education should be considered a pearlof high price. Anything that is free is seen as cheap orwithout value. The only motivation a child today has forremaining in school at all, is the fear of being unable toafford a two car garage.

In our view so-called "free education" is one causeof the problem of drop-outs. There would be fewer drop-outs if young people were led to see school as a privi-lege, not a requirement.

Are we putting the wrong kind of price tag on our ;

educational programs?

BAHA'I'S BELIEVE: Religion and Science are in HarmonyBaha'i's believe that religious beliefs must satisfy our

minds as fully as they do our feelings. Beliefs which con-tradict scientific facts are not 'mysteries' — they aresuperstitions which break down under stress.

We today are seeing a steady breakdown of this typeof religious concept the world over. Unfortunately faithin spiritual values has broken down with it.

For Baha'i's there is no contradiction between thespiritual teachings of the great religions and the truths olscience. To reject either is to close a door which Gochas opened.
