destroy the co-operation and trust of the
educators who must carry them out.

The mandarins are also our neighbors and
colleagues. They have worked alongside us
for years, and will continue to do so, but
they can no longer be trusted or even re-
spected as fellow-believers in democracy.
Out of conviction or opportunism, they have
pandered to a large minority of British
Columbians who really don't like the rest
of us very much. That minority doesn't
give a damn about financial restraint; it's
just a code phrase for hurting people they
don't like.

When the minority suffers too, as it inevit-
ably will, it'll find another scapegoat to
blame...intellectuals, or drunken Indians,
or the Yellow Peril, or Jews...anybody but
itself and its own selfish, stupid policies.
And a few morally catatonic bureaucrats,

the ones who should have been fired, will be
there to help.

Teaching Adults

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PART-TIME
INSTRUCTORS OF ADULTS

TEACHING ADULTS: GETTING STARTED is the tit-
le for a live, interactive TV program, to be
broadcast on the Knowledge Network Wednesday
September 7, from 8 to 9 p.m.

Produced by B.C. adult educators, the pro-
gram will provide C.E. instructors with
practical suggestions and ideas to help them
prepare for the start of their classes, and
get the class off to a good start at the
first session. It should be of interest to
new and experienced instructors alike.

Peter Renner, author of The Instructor's
Survival Kit, and Dan Pratt, Adult Education
Division, U.B.C., will be featured in the
broadcast. Drawing on their extensive ex-
perience as teachers of adults, they will
demonstrate techniques and provide tips and

strategies that have proven effective in |
their adult education classes. |

This broadcast is an experiment in using
the Knowledge Network as a means of pro-
viding professional development on teaching
adults for instructors throughout the Prov-
ince. In addition to C.E. instructors in
the public education system it might be of
interest to trainers of adults in a variety
of industrial, governmental, and community |
settings. Reactions to this prototype pro-
gram and its future potential would be
appreciated by the Continuing Education
Division, Ministry of Education.

NOTE: Douglas College will not be holding
a group session for viewing. How-
ever, the show will be taped and
will be available through the 1lib-
rary. Print materials may be ob-
tained by contacting Rita Chudnovski

Heritage Display
The British Columbia Heritage Trust's photo
exhibit, 'Conservation, British Columbia’,

conceived and produced by Philip Graham,
is now on display in the library.

 

The program was designed to ensure prov-
ince-wide awareness of the preservation and:
restoration of local heritage buildings.
Through the exhibit the Trust hopes to pro-
vide residents throughout B.C. with an ex- |
cellent opportunity to view buildings and
sites which represent the province's
heritage.
