“If we acceps theory that the individual is important, that his vote shoutd ide the fate of governments, there should be no restraint on invidual thought and action except that dictated by the welfare of others,”’ Dr. Paton continued, “then we must tainly believe. that every heshihey individual has'a mind to develop, en intelligence worth training,
no choice but to train the mind by giving constant practice in the making of intelligent choices.
“For example, a good teacher will emphasize solving problems in mathematics by a variety of methods and not solely by the one method mentioned in the textbook. He will train the mem- ories of his puipils, but not by rote learning and parrot-like re- petition of words and lines that are meaningless to them. He will encourage his history classes to read outside the authorised ver- sion of events, causes, and re cer-} sults, of villains and heroes.

FIRST JOB
“The first job of the ink. then, is intellectua] training and development of the minds of young people. I think this is im- portant with all who are in any way educable, and should not be restricted to those imtending to matriculate into university; be cause intelligence can be ex- ercised in the ofice, the store, or the machine shop as well as im the pulpit, the law-courts, or the consulting rom.
“I assume that the school will find some ‘time ‘for moral and physical training, but I am not too worried om this score, since other educational agencies ike the church, the home, and the be playing their part. No person or agency Is likely, however, to concentrate sufficiently on the education of the mind’ ff the school fails to do so.
“Having established the frst of my priorities, I turn to the next which follows almost in- evitably. Everyone seems to agree that ‘as is the teacher, so is the school’. Clearly this most dif- ficult and subtle task of mind-| training will not be done well un- (less we have in every school the

The Prince Edward Island government similar to any demo- cratic administratidh, on educ- ation or any other public service, will spend only as much money as the ‘citizens demand, John Hughes, principal of Montague xe School, said here yester-

as compared with only. $2 milton for education, and that only 17 per cent of the provin- cial budget was allocated to the education department in com- parison with the Canadian aver- age of 22 per cent.
Were there as many delega- tions waiting on the government with respect to education as there were in respect to roads, the comparative-spending would be considerable less startling, Mr. Hughes intimated.
“When public opinion de- mands better teachers, better schools, better means of trans- portation to the larger centres, then and then only will we get
MINISTER PRAISED
By gradually advancing the provincial teachers salaries to their present level the govern- ment of the Province, especiaPy the minister of education, had done a good job as fast as one could reasonably expect, the federation president asserted.
“To my mind, he (Hon. Mr. Clark) is the only minister of education, who has taken the portfolio ‘seriously and given careful study and serious con- sideration to our difficulties,”

survey is com-
potential of the Province, the establishment of larger units of administration will in all a bability not be undertaken,” said,
If educational opportunities were to be available to all citi- zens of Canada, it would seem that federal aid was a necessity, Mr. Hughes observed. Provin- ces and muncipalities were no longer able to fulfill their con- stitutional responsibilities in this matter.
In support of this contention,

CTF RECOMMENDATIONS To accomplish this end the CTF offered thé federal govern ment three separate plans, Mr. Hughes said. With cdadmments as to the feasibility of each these were:
“(1) — An extension of the Federal Tax-sharing Arrange- men's Act payments.
“It was pointed out that thi: plan would be most acceptable to the Provinces but it had the disadvantage that there would be ;no guarantee that it would ‘achieve its purpose unless an undertaking could be obtained from the Provinces that the money would be spent for educ- | ation purposes. '
(2) — A per pupil capital grant
“Such a plan would in no way encroach on the Provincial con- trol of education.
(3) -—- An equalization for- mula in conjunction with a- Foundation Program.

said. The guest speaker evinced sur- |
prise that the Island maxtmum | and minimum standards were so low, in comparison with those he | was accustomed to apply. But, | he observed that this situation | was not surprising in view of the | fact that the per pupil expendi- | ture for education was consider- | ably lower than that obtaining ia} several: other provinces. { ISLAND LOW “In 1957, in comparison with P.E.I’s $103 per pupil expenditure $207 was spent in Manitoba, $304 {n British Columbia, $252 in. Saskatchewan, and $243 in Ont- tario, Dr. Paton noted. He pointed out that statistics published by the Canadian Tea- chers Federation in February ol this year showed that at the ele- mentary level, PEI teachers im 1958-59 were paid on the average $1,200 less than colleagues of similar education and experience im other parts of the nation. Ia the case of secondary school teachers the difference was some- what less, but still great—$1.064. These statistics forced him to conclude that the Island taxpayer did not have too great regard for the quality or the amount of
