Monkey Poem From Western Canadian Edition
Three monkeys in a coconut tree discuss rumors about humans. The verse argues humans descended from apes yet condemns human flaws such as war, infidelity, theft, and violence, contrasting monkey behavior with human behavior in a humorous, pointed satirical tone.
Winnipeg drug ed plan adopts humanistic approach
More than 1 000 Winnipeg schoolchildren take part in a pilot drug education program that avoids singling out drugs. The plan, led by Education Minister Ben Hanuschak, treats drug education as part of general learning, with 150 topics and classroom activities. Participating schools include William Whyte, David Livingstone, King Edward, Lord Roberts, Centennial, Margaret Underhill, Neil Campbell and Buchanan. The program began in October in 41 classes across eight schools with strong teacher training and parental communication. The project will be evaluated by a department resource group and a federally funded research team, with no expansion planned for 1976-77.
