In a brief. the Federation said the Dominion Government should make grants to the provinces on the basis of need so that all child- ren will havo equal educational opportunities. The grants should be earmarked for educational pur- poses and should be made without interference with provincial auton- omy on educational matters.

The status of the teaching pro- fession should bs raised, with an improvement in salaries, so the men and women of the best char- acter. ability and training would be attracted. _

A federal mmisslon should be appointed to study national view- point and make recommendat‘ for welding Canada into a nation»,

School buildings should be of the i best possible type for the purpose and in the post war building pro- gram, school buildings should have a high priority.

She said at least 6.000 unqualif- ied persons now are teaching and, 1.000 one-room schools are closed for lack of teachers. An estimated 7.000 teachers were needed for a post-war educational program for mcn and women in the forces.
