Tim's Tip of the Day Last night I was fascinated by a lecture by a Ivan Illich on CBC Ideas who criticised the conversion into a series of "inservice" and on going education. A valid criticism but perhaps an achievement for a society that sees itself constantly struggling to be learners for life. We already know that each person will go through about five careers in their lifetime which suggests that education can not ever be a final solution but is something that we work at from the time we are born until we die. We who are alive must always be bound to Aristotles "cogeto" "I think, therefore I am." perhaps better put "I learn to keep on living." Ensign Notes "Just a point of curiosity; how was Wolseley capable of serving in WW 1. My understanding of history is that WW 1 started in 1914. Further to this I believe Wolseley died March 25, 1913. Am I missing something here ?" Ken Styan. Ken is absolutely right, but the basic manual and operational methods of the British Army that were in effect throughout WWI were the creation of Sir Garnet Wolseley, the affects of his work would continue long past his death.

The depression Tuesday, April 15, 2003 by: Timothy W. Shire Perhaps in time the 1930s may cease to be the primary and most influencial factor in shaping our lives and culture but despite all that has past that era is still in the back of everyone's mind no matter how old or young.
