Fairview school, Yorkton's new $100,000 daytime home for 200 junior students, the citys fourth public school, was officially opened Wednesday afternoon by Hon Woodrow Lloyd, minister of education. About 400 persons attended the afternoon ceremony and later a second large gathering was guest of the school board at a buffet supper. The minister of education said that while efficiency in the three rs was important they were not enough but needed as a means to an end. The function of education, he explained, was not, only for people to have more and better bread and butter but have and to want better roses. The most important contribution our schools could make was that of training in the art of thinking well, he said.

Education he said had always been important but that importance was increasing. Schools should make it possible for young people to take their proper place society and the community, both locally and worldly. It should make it possible for them to better understand and interpret ideas, help them achieve better social and emotional adjustment though not in the sense of conformity. If a person was going to be efficient then it was necessary for them to adjust themselves with society and to be at peace with oneself within that society, he said. Schools, he said, should provide training in particular and help young people to develop principles which directed their personalities and their sense of social relationships.

It was also important schools be happy places in which youngsters would learn how to en-joy themselves as adults and provide guidance in an effective choice of vocations. The minister in congratulating the, school board for toe fine educational develop, ment said the crown indicated a genuine pride in the welfare ef Yorktons boys and girls. Mayor C. G. LangnU said, the erection of schools was Indicative of the growth of the community.

At the same time he reminded ratepayers the new school was not toe solution to school problems here. He said he was pleased toe school board had made provision so further additions could be made. The mayor said such expansion would be required to protect boys and girls from toe hazards of crossing railway tracks to get to school. Mayor Langrlll congratulated the architect, for his ultra-modern building and paid tribute to all those who aided in carrying out the plans. He congratulated toe members of the board for their wisdom and good judgement in se lecting and appointing Miss Mildred Baldwin as principal.

Miss Baldwin, Mayor LangriU said, had served toe community well and faithfully. He thanked the minister of education for taking time off Greater Parcn I Interest Urcd YORKTON Parents should play a much more important role in youth guidance if they are to provide the leadership warranted, Fred Tiller, president of the Yorkton District Boy Scout Association, told members of Rotary Monday at a luncheon in the Yorkton Hotel, Mr, Tiller said Yorkton fortunately had very little juvenile delinquency and to offset any increase there should be greater parent interest in youth, organizations. Too many parents today, he said, were interested either in the almighty dollar or in pursuit of their own happl ness. Mr. Tiller urged parents to attend at least one of the three meetings this week when the district council will hold a composite leader training course.
