The lulltler of employment bureaus for teachers was taken up and it was found that Quebec, New Brunswick -Prince lEdward island and Nova Scotla, had no teachers’ bureau or agency, but received assistance from the 'l‘€flCli€l‘fl'S Union and that British Columbia had its education- al bureau, as had also Manitoba. in the latter province private agen- cies had been suppressed.

Honor the Governor in the Evening.

’l‘eachers' Federation has been very fortunate iu securing n large percentage of the teachers within the province as members of the Federation. ‘From June 30th, 1926, the number of paid-up lmem- lhsrs was 424; and members who are teaching for the first year and are registered free number 80. ’i‘l1is makes a total of 504 mem- bers. The nunrbers of teachers eligible for member-strip in the P. F}. l. 'l‘. F. is approximately 600. in other words then, the percent- age of teachers who are members of’ our Federation is about 84%.

2. Lol-ai Coilveiltions.

The fact that the l’. E. ‘l, '1‘, F, has 84% of its teachers as meni- bers of’ its Federation may be at.- tribnied in no small measure to our Local Conventions. No‘ less than 93 paid-up members, and aibout 80 members teaching for the first year, have become Federation members at these conventions. The holding of’ local conventions has proved very satisfactory, and we find that they are of great assist- anl-c to the teachers in general and especially to the “beginner? for these meetings are held at dif- fercnl. centres situated throughout the province, and as soon after the reopening of school as pou- slble. They thus afford the teach- er without experience a chance to have some of her difficulties solv- ed, and furthermore, inculcates the best methods of dealing with certain problems that are sure to zlrlse, and the solving of difficult- ies which lmlght otherwise remain unsolved to the detriment of lboth teacher and pupils. Thus they are ofassistance at the very time hclp is needed. The local conventions are under the auspices of the Pro- vinciai Federation, and although each convention appoints i_ts own president and secretary, yet the general management, such as fin- ancing, setting of dates. arranging programme. etc, ls directly con- tmllcll by the provincial executive. of which tho local presidents are members. The conventions of last year fully measured to the stand- ard of former years.

.'l. Dismissal of ‘Teacher and Ac- tion taken by Federation.

‘Shortly after the re-opening of schools we were called upon to illcc a serious affair dealing with the dismissal of one of our rural teachers without sufficient cause. This is the first case of its kind with which our Federation came in contact, and the success of the lssuc is largely due to the untirlng efforts oi‘ the officers members of the executive and to the general support and co-opcration given by the teaching in general-both members and non-members. A synopsis of thecase is as follows:

About two weeks after reopen- ing of school the ieache was given her notice of dismissal to take cf- fect three months from date. No sufficient cause for such dismissal could ‘be given, alid when the teacher appealed lo the Federation we felt that we must act, and act quickly. We had an. inspector sent to the school and he examined the teachor's"work, and found it satisfactory. lie also endeavour- ed to straighten the difficulty but without avail. "The Federation had the information it needed so it now proceeded further in the ‘matter, and wrote the trustees asking them to reconsider their decision. The trustees refused and next advertised for n teacher. The executive had notice sent to the teachers, members and non- members, asklug them to refrain from applying for or accepting the school. Before the notice reached all teachers, however, the trustees had received no less than eight ap- plications for the position. The teachers were cfrculsrized and in this latter the facts of the case

were made known. The result was immediately apparent, and consequently each of the eight

trustees would not withdraw, and as their action was legal nothing could be done except for the ‘Fed- eration to secure another school for the teacher. the Department of Education an- other school waa secured for the teacher. The district in which thO trouble arose was left without n teacher until sometime in Janu- ary. when the Federation lifted the ban. done much to strengthen the Fed- eration, and it, too. accounts for our increased membership.

Economic Crisis Fear- ed In Mexico - Ca- tholic Leaders l)e- clare Govt. Will Be Forced to Surrender ‘(Special to the Guardian) MEXICO CITY. Aug. 4. - From all ports of Mexico roportsare pouring into Catholic headquarters

here that the economic boycott in the church's resistance i0 the gov-

ernment regulations is making havoc with industry and com- marce. Commercial houses hav-

ing rutiifcntions throughout the Republic not only confirm these reports bllt forecast a grave econ- omic crisis.

Oatholic leaders rejoicing over the news declare the government will lbe forced to surrender. Tile economic boycott, they reiter- ate, is their chief weapon ofresist- once. Everywhere, according to Catholic headquarters. in obedi- ence to the call the faithful of the church are abstaining from all but the most necessary purchases, limiting travel, cutting out amuse- lments and foregoing even their ordinary social diversions.

Wholesale cancellation of orders for both foreign and domestic g00dl! are a feature of corrobora- tion of the Catholic observance of lthc ‘boycott. it is estimated that cancellations of purchases from the United States may run into millions 0f dollars.
