Committee Pays Visit To

Schools In Kings County

That the teaching profession has little attraction for pupils at the Grade 12 level was shown the Legislative Select Standing Com- mittee on Education when several of its members visited schools in the eastern part of the Provincei yesterday. 1

in only one of the schools visited uere anv of the students-in the top pi;-uies interested in taking teacher naming and then three of the girls said they wanted to teach. Nonel

phlc positions second in favor. The male students apparently had not decided on their future with most loath to express any favoritism. asked by Harvey Douglas how many of them planned on farming there was not a single response.

The Committee was led on its

A tour through schools in Mt. Stew-

art. Morell and Souris by Chairman Frederic A. Large. Q.C.. who ask- ed many questions of the teachers regarding the physical equipment available. The Committee noted

oi the boys in any of the schooisibadly overcrowded conditions in

indicated even a faint lnterest.l There was no specific reason for not considering the profession be- ynnd the fact that it simply did not appeal to them.

Several of the teachers. though I'N.',l't.'Iiilljl the low salaries paid. (llfl not feel that the pay was of primary consideration. They said they liked to teach and were keen about their jobs. One, a registered l nurse. who came back teaching to relieve a temporary shortage in her district has remained on the job for three years. Another with so years experience behind him noted wryiy that his present com- pcnsation was only 5200 per year more than is received by a begin- her. Still another who has been in the profession for 35 years said he . was now getting only 3300 moral than a newcomer and added that though his salary now was con- sitlcrably more than when he si;irtcd the money was not worth as much and due to higher living costs he was actually earning less than when he began.

STUDENTS QUEBIED 1

Among the girl students ques-1 tinned in various schools there' was an overwhelming vote for thel nursing profession with stenogra-l

Mt. Stewart with iunlor grades having to be staggered to accom- e' to the pupils with classes of 35 being ordinary. in all schools visited to date the Committee has noted what teachers term the ever increasing numbers coming to Grade I and have been told that the trend will soon cre- ate intolerable conditions in all oi the older schools where space is already at a premium.

MORELL HIGH SCHOOL

The members were really im- pressed with the new at Morell. The well lighted. well ventilated classrooms were ad- equate In every respect with plenty of room. Students attend it from a wide surrounding area, said they were pleased with their working conditions and reported they mis- sed very few days because of tra-

. veiling up to 12 miles by bus to get

there.

This school was erected by Mor- ell ratepayers to fill a definite need and it was reported to the Com- mittee that even those who origin- ally opposed the idea now favor it. Children come from nearby dis- tricts and pay a fee to attend.

Es, ' ", noticeable here was the contrast with another school

visited where one class was so crowded there was not even enough - room for the teacher's desk-and lshe said she had no time to sit all -it anyway.

AT SOURIS

The high school at Souris also drew praise from members visit-l ing it for the first time. A modern; structure. it also draws students from the surrounding territory.-. There was crowding noticeable ini the lower grades in the grade, !school and once again teachers re- l

'marked on the increase in recent. years of first year pupils. However, 1 the situation in Souris, the Com-'

tmittee found. was greatly aided by the new high school and also by the nearby convent.

Committee members were es- corted through the convent and in- troduced to the various Sisters teaching the many classes. Two of the boarding pupils came from

1 such far apart places as Charlotte- town and Alberton. The convent, which is operated by Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame. also

imittee was interested to note the lemphasis placed on home econom- ics with sewing classes for the girls being conducted in even the llowest grades. I Due to meetings of other com- mlttees on which they also serve. .several members of the Select Standing Committee were unable to make the tour yesterday. In the V visiting group were Messrs. F.A.. Large, Dr. L.G. Dewar. lreo Ros- siter, Harvey Douglas. Morley Bell and Malcolm MacKenzie. 1 This morning the Committee will . hold another public hearing in the l Legislative Chamber at 10 o'ciocki when interested groups are expect- .'ed to attend and present briefs.

Threat Of New

War By

JERUSALEM fAPl -- The open threat of a new war emerged uesday from Israel's dismay at Gaza Strip and Aqaba Gulf de- velopments since she turned over those battle-won territories to the United Nations.

Prime Minister David Ben-Gur- ion said Israel's army will march agaliist Egypt again if President Nasser "tries to block our his- toric and legal passage into the Gulf of Aqaba." lie voiced these views in an interview with a News- week magazine correspond- dent. Curtis G. Pepper. at Tel Avlv.

"it would be a black day on the moral conscience of the world if

we had to move our army to do-'

send our rights." said the 70-year- old Israeli leader. "We will do it only as I last resort. But if forced. we wul do it and do it effectively."

EXPECTS US. SUPPORT

Ben-Gurion implied he hoped for backing from President Eisen- hower - "an honorable man. a friend and a general of armies" -on the basis of a letter Eisen- hower dispatched to him during Israel's early March crisis over the final pullout orders. Israelis have generally regarded that let- ter as a pledge.

Ben-Gurion said the reason he sent Foreign Minister Golda Meir on her latest mission to the United States was to make clear to El- renhower and to UN Secretary- General Dag I-lammarsklold that Israel will insist on "freedom from terror on the Gaza border and freedom of passage through both the Suez Canal and the (Anabel Strait of Tiran."

The interview-one in a series Ben-Gurion gives to news agen- cles and news magazines on an alternating basis - went beyond his previous public warnings.

Ben-Gurion declared March I It

Visit Canada For Few Days

OTTAWA fCPl - There were lndicatio-is Tuesday that Queen Elizabeth may visit Canada for it few days next fall and that site may officials at the opening of the next session of Parliament.

The visit to Canada would follow United States. There has as yet been no official inviia-. tion from the US to the Quccni but it is suggested here that such. an invitation may be likely and; that the trip to the US. may take; place in September or October. i

There are no indications herel that any visit by the Queen to; Canada would last for more than. a few days. It appeared likely that. she would spend the time in Ot- tawa and that she would officiate at the opening of Parliament be- fore returning to Britain.

INVITED TO OPEN SEAW.-tY I

She has been invited, however, to. officiate at the opening of the St.. Lawrence Seaway. scheduled for-I

ompletion in the spring of 1959. It appeared likely that at that time . she would make a cross-countryi tour.

Approve U.K. NATO Force Cut

L().'N'i)0?x' tReutci'si-- Britain's Western European allies Tuesday: night announced their approval for a iiinited withdrawal of Bri- tish troops irom the Continent this year.

A British spokesman said after the announcement that Britain in- tends to withdraw 13,500 men--- haif of the planned withdrawal l.(!lBl-'ln the coming I2 months.

The seven-nation Western Euro- pean Uiiion (WEU) also an- nounced that it would recommend to NATO, its parent organization. a full review of the military and economic situation. Further re- ductions of British forces on the Continent would be decided in ()ctobt-i' in the light of the new over-all review.

ALL WEU OBJECTED The compromise agreement fol-

lowed objections to the British withdrawal plan from all six Con-

tinental members of WEU - I-lrancc. West Germany. Italy. Holland. Belgium and Luxem- hourg.

Weeks of protracted negotia- tions followed Britain's decision

in January to pull out 27.000 of her 80,000 men on the Continent in the next two years.

The withdrawal plan was part of Britain's general trimming of defence costs to bolster her weakened economy.

wEU's riiiing council of minis- ters met here Monday night to hammer out the agreement. Brit- ain wanted to get a decision be- fore the departure of Prime min- lster Harold Macmillan Tuesday for talks in Bermuda with Pres- ident Eisenhower.

(. .. huh, . . Norman Robertson attended Mon- day nighlir talks as an observer.

The communique said the WEU council rerognlzcd "that the prob- lems facing the United Kingdom were in fact common to all mem- bers of the alliance and that these common problems called for a common solution within NATO."

For this reason. it said. they recommended that NATO should "study urgently" West German Chancellor K o n r a d Adensuer's proposals for a new over-all re-
