Carleton Stanley's address to the Ontario Educational Association

Item consists of an annotated typescript of an address delivered by Carleton Stanley at the Ontario Educational Association meeting in Toronto on April 18, 1933, discussing Plato's interpretation of modern civilization, the unwillingness of many teachers to truly have freedom ("they are not free because they are willing robots, they do not have the initiative to assert themselves"), maintaining faith in reason, and the threat posed in all fields by the absence of considerations of impacts on civilization. The speech was delivered in this form twice in 1934 as well.

Change or decay? Carleton Stanley's address before the Empire Club of Canada

Item consists of an annotated typescript copy of Carleton Stanley's address before the Empire Club of Canada in Toronto, delivered November 9, 1933, under the title "Change or Decay?" The speech discusses the notion of fundamental social ideas that are consistent across the country, the difficulties faced under parliamentary governments to ensure such consistency, and the problems inherent in the present economic system.

This speech later appeared in an amended form in the January 1934 number of the Dalhousie Review.
