LETTER OF THE DAY - Who feels it knows, this teacher says
THE EDITOR, Sir: The school environment, which was primarily known as a place for transferring and receiving knowledge and fostering the development of the whole man, has today been transformed into a battlefield. From my two years spent in the education system I think I have experienced enough to justify what I'm about to say.
Vigilance against dog thefts
THE EDITOR, Sir: Over the past several days I have become more and more distressed at seeing your advertisement about a lost Catahoula puppy, and Latoya Grindley's interview with the owner, Mr Robert MacMillan, in your edition of February 19th, has greatly increased my concern.
Story of the lost boys
THE EDITOR, Sir: I am writing a book about five Jamaica College students who were lost for over two weeks in the Blue Mountains during the month of April 1939. The group was led by Douglas Hall, who was subsequently a professor at the University of the West Indies.
The case for term limits
THE EDITOR, Sir: One of the campaign promises made by the current Prime Minister of Jamaica was the changing of our constitution to allow for fixed term limits for Governments. As investigations are done and in one very topical case, charges are laid, the need to move with much alacrity on the matter becomes even more compelling.
Noteworthy
I was very surprised to learn that the grand success of the School's Environment Programme (SEP) coordinated by the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) would soon come an end if some source of funding was not realised shortly.
