Hear Proposal
To Aid
Private Schools

WINNIPEG, Man., NC) -
The Manitoba School Trustees
Association has urged the
provincial government to give
sympathetic consideration to
a report recommending finan-
cial aid to private schools.
The association is a 51-year-
old group representing trus-
tees of more than 1900 school
districts. 1t was referring in
a resolution at its convention
to recommendations of a
Royal Commission on Educa-
ton.
The commission said in late
November that Manitoba's gov
eminent should provide some
aid to private, nonprofit
schools. Manitoba and British
Columbia are the only two
of the 10 provinces in Canada
which do not aid private
schools.
A commission similar to
the one sponsored by the gov
eminent here is studying edu-
cation in British Columbia.
The trustees association
noted that the provincial COM
mission said it would be pos
sible to aid private schools
without injury to the public
school system.

Educator Says
Students LEARN
But Don't Think

WASHINGTON, D. c.
College are
learning a lot but not
thinking enough, a Uni
versity of Notre Dame
educator told the White House
Conference on Children and
Youth today Monday).
FIR. John E. Walsh, csc,
speaking at a forum on "The
Young as Learners and Think
ers," said students are more
likely ito absorb ideas rather
than master them" Higher
education, he said, is not the
taking" of courses.
Such learning, the Holy
Cross priest claimed, "can be,
in fact, quite harmful in that
it cutters up the mind and
prevents clarity of insight. To
know, without the ability to
use knowledge in analysis and
criticism, in imaginative and
resourceful thinking, can be
ruinous," he contended.
FATHER AIS n, who
heads Notre DANES depart
ment of education, urged that
college education be drasti-
cally reorganized ITO put
more of the responsibility for
education where it rightfully
belongs, with the student"
The priest-educator lamented
that college students tend
to be conformists at the very
time in their lives when they
should be most inquisitive
and most daring in their
thinking" Father Walsh point
ed out that college students
are normally free of the
family, business, professional
and social p~ressures that will
later tend to make them con-
sentative. Most students, how
ever, are quite content to
take even the most important
and fundamental ideas for
granted" he said.
THE CAMPUS is the place
where commonly accepted
ideas can be l..plored and
subjected TO criticism with
out fear of social, political
or economic reprisalS," Faith
er Walsh declared. College
students, he said, have the
leisure, which they will never
have again, ITO theorize, to
experiment, to speculate and
to contemplate"
There is a recognized dam
ger in permitting students
who do not have the full re-
sponsibility for all of the inn
plications and consequences
of their thinking to move free
ly in the world of IDEAS"
Father Walsh conceded. But
this is a calculated risk" he
said, "and it is essential to
the notion of higher educa-
ton"
EDUCATION Is NOT SIM
ply a two-way process between
teacher and student, although
most students seem to think
that this is the case, Faher
Walsh observed. 1t is "proba-
bly, correct" he said, that stu
dents learn more from their
fellow students than they
learn in the formal class
room" II is through this
mutual education" often on
an informal and animated
basis, he said, "that ideas be-

lenge. Mutual or reciprocal
education" he maintained,
"has an excitement, an inn
mediacy, and an electric quail
ity that more formal instruc-
ton frequently fails to
achieve"
The atmosphere Of a col
lege or university must be
one Of freedom of investiga-
ton and communication, the
Notre Dame educator declar-
ed. But, at the same time, he
insisted, the university stu
dent must be helped to find
a set of values to which he
can boldly commit himself
even while he examines the
validity of those values. The
temptation Of the intellec-
tual," he said, "is to be so
open-minded that he becomes
wishy-washy, unduly cautious,
safe, indecisiye and detach-
ed"
FATHER WALSH WARN.
Ed that "a nation without a
strong sense of values and
without a set Of values is a
weak nation. 1t is precisely
the intellectuals, the college
and university trained men
and women, who should show
the way or take the leader
ship in defining those values
and adhering TO them. A
democracy is weak" the
priest said, "if it does not
evoke both strong intellectual
commitments and strong emo
tional commitments. In our
culture, college and univer-
sity students must learn the
meaning and the process of
democracy, at the same time
that they think Of ways OF
improving it," he said.

ness"
Father Thomas T. McAvoy,
csc, professor of history at

declared april 81 that "this
lack of worldwide ambitions
has been mistaken for isola-
tionism by those who do not
understand the positive ele-
ments of much Midwestern
thinking" He said: Midwest

away from other people so
much as they are creating

Rejecting the charge that

tions to the Midwestern mind
is not correct. Queen Eliza
beth II was nowhere more
royalty greeted than in the
heart of the Midwest, nor did
Khrushchev find a more
friendly reception than in
Iowa" "There is no narrow.
ness Of viewpoint or unfriend-
illness in the Midwestern
mind" he contended.
The Notre Dame historian
also dismissed suggestions
that the Midwestern mind is
mot distinctive" He conced-
ed that the Midwest is lacking
in unusual physical charac-
~teristics - no Blue Ridge or
Rocky Mountains, no golden
California or Florida coasts
but he insisted that mod
ern man lis no longer domi-
mated by the physical element
and is no longer dependent
on natural beauty for his
pleasure"
FATHER MeAvoY admit
ted that the Midwestern mind
is not cultured enough. ut
must be granted at the start"
he said, "that the Midwest
does not have, nor will ever
have, the Ivy League univer-
sites; it cannot re-write the
American literary products Of
the Transcendental Era, or Of
the other romanticists who
created the great American
literature Of the nineteenth
century"
THE CULTURAL advances
of the Midwest today and of
the future, he said, depend
upon the ability of the people
of the Midwest to make the
things of the mind and of the
soul more important than the
vast material riches and adj
vances OF the modern way"
EDUCATION Is the heart Of
the cultural process, and the
new dominant force in the
Midwest today is found in its
huge state universities, Fa-
Their McAvoy said. "Unfortu-
nately," he observed, "this
dominance of non-sectarian
education threatens the new
