By JACK VAN DUSEN Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (OP) -—- The people
who build and use small boats succeeded Wednesday in water- ing down a liquor clause in pro- posed federal small vessel regula- tions.
They argued the clause in the draft of the regulations, which will bring under one cover for the first time “laws of the road" for Canada’s small boat opera- tions, prevented boatmen from drinking aboard ship even aboard yachts complete with liv- ing quarters.
The representatives of manu- facturers, boating and tourist as- sociations, provin cial gov- ernments, and RCMP and provin- cial police officers were called here for a two-day meeting which ended Wednesday to help the de- partment make the final draft of the regulations. They will become the “highway laws” of Canada’s

"A. WILSON ROSS, SUPERVISOR OF SCHOOLS
It is a pleasure, indeed, to re- spond to the P.E.I. Teacher's Fe- deration request for a brief ac- count of my experiences as a
principal of an Alberta regional high School. In writing this ar- ticle it is my hope that some of the comments will be helpful to teachers, parents, ratepayers‘ and others who are giving serious thought to the business of edu- cation in our own fair Province.
Alberta, as many of us know, has experienced great advances in educational work during the last decade. Much research and experimental Wonk has taken place. The results of this Prov- ince’s activities are helping to provide other parts of Canada with bases for formation of sound «and workable policies. We here in Prince Edward Island can ben- efit greatly from the exiperiences gained by our sister Province in the field of education. SET OUT
It was the latter part of Aug- ust, 1956 that my wife, our two girls (ages three and seven), and myself set out for Alberta in our heavily laden car. Our route out was mainly through the U.S.A. The total distance travelled was approximately 3300 miles.
En route we visited interesting
, places such as Niagara Falls, at
some general idea of the school
television factory, the Strait of Mackinac Bridge, the longest bridge in the world, the Badlands of North Dakota—the birthplace of President Theodore Roosevelt, and manypother places of inter- est to the entire family. While in Alberta we had opportunity to visit the national parks at Banff, Waterton and Jasper. We were also able to visit the oilfields at Turner Valley and Leduc - Wood- bend. ‘
A trip to Spokane, Washington State took us throu-gh the Crows- nest Pass and past Frank, a town that in early 1900 was almost completely covered by a gigantic rock slide from an adjacent moun- tain.
ARRIVAL
Following our arrival in Alber- ta we had m-uch to do in the way of getting settled and becoming acquainted with our new surroun- dings. I myself, found the first few days and nights extremely busy in preparation for the new school year just commencing. In addition it~was necessary to be- com.e fa-miliary, as quickly as pos- sible, with a school system con- siderably, different from our own here. I shall now attempt to give
organization in force today in Al- berta.
This Province, until recent years, had several hundred small rural districts each of which en-
deavoured to maintain a small 2 local school. A few years back ‘
certain statesmen and many citi-
zens realized that, if the schools * were to continue to be effective -
for modern times, a change in or- ganization was necessary. Out of the efforts of these people grew, not without difficulties, the pre- sent system of some sixty large school divisions. The outstand- ing characteristic of this‘ change is greatly improved administra- tion.
Important additional effects of -
this wise planning are more equi- table educational opportunities for all children in town and rural
areas and greatly increased edu- \
cational possibilities for the pre- sent and future generations. VULCAN COUNTY
Vulcan County—-the area with which I am more familiar—is, geographically speaking, some- what larger than our own Queens County..
Wheat farming is the main industry. Recently oil has been
discovered and this may soon be ’
the second important industry. Cattle raising is an important part of the farming industry. There are three fair sized towns and a half dozen villages within the boundaries of Twelve schools with a total of seventy—six classrooms enable the 1800 or more pupils to obtain full high school or senior matricula-
tion. Only one is a single room -
school. A couple are two room schools. The remaining schools- have from five to twelve class- rooms. Approximately eight tea- chers are required yearly. Vulcan Junior Senior High _:c‘n(ml, the school where I had, the privilege of teaching last
year, is a modern building con- structed with brick, concrete and steel. Ten academic classrooms, a library, a science laboratory, a typewriter room, a manual train- ing department, home economics room and a gymnasium-auditor ium are operated for the 250 or more pupils attending grades sev- en to twelve inclusive.
Ten school vans daily transport to and from school, the pupils, who do not live in or near the Town of Vulcan. Some pupils live twenty, or more miles away from the school. Practically all roads, which school vans use, are grav- elled. Grades seven, eight.and nine compose the juinor high school. Grades ten, eleven and twelve form the senior high school
STUDENT COUNCILS
Both junior and senior groups have their own student councils. These councils working closely with teacher-counsellors particip- ate in several school projects such as social events, sport activities,‘ school discipline, etc. all of which aid in the all around develop- ment of the student.
The most popular school sports are basketball, baseball, softball, curling and hockey. Pnter school leagues are very active and us- ually each. Friday evening the principal or some designated members of the staff, accompany teams while they entertain or vis- it other teams. These are in brief, some of the advantages possible where one finds the larger unit
found today in mot Canadian pro- vinces. For the junior high school students the curriculum onsists of the traditional subjects and the addition of shop, home economics, typinu , dramatics and music. The senior high program provides two main streams which students may follow. These are the univ- eris-ty or senior matriculation and the high school deploma.
The high school diploma stream in addition to giving general ac- ademic training, provides oppor- tunity to take trainin-g in the field which meets his desire and abilities.
ELECT SUBJECTS
The credit system allows sen- ior high people to elect most of their ow-n subjects. This system appears to be proving satisfac- tory for most students. Provin- sion examinations and the tests given by teachers throughout the end of grades nine and twelve. cial examinations are given at the suits obtained from school divi- year.
The teachers of Alberta have gone a long way in establishing a strong professional status. The Alberta Teachers‘ Association is possible the strongest teacher or- ganization found anywhere in Canada today. This is largely due to the excellent organizational work that commenced at the 10- cal level a few years back, plus a strongly sympathetic attitude from the Alberhart government. STATUS _
Each school division has an ATA branch and these are al- ways very active. Meetings are
training varies from $80 per year for one u-niversity credit to $1200 for a degree. Additional degrees are also recognized ‘in salary a- greements. Yearly increments ran ging from $100 to $200 are given for the first fifteen years of ex- perience. The total of increments amounts to 50 percent of the to- tal of the basic and univeristy training allowances.
MORE TEACHERS
Principals and vice principals’ receive additional pay for admin- istrative duties. Improving sal- aries and working conditions are gradually lessening the teacher shortage created by the very ra- pid post war growth of new and larger schools.
Here in P.E.I. our two major problems are in connection with our rural organization and sup- ply of qualified teachers. By work ing toward-s the solution of one problem we simultaneously will be diminishing the other. Gone forever is the possibility of having the majority of our one room rur- al schools stavilfed with properly quali-fied people. '
IN P.E.I.
Today even well qualified tea-
chers are unable to properly deal
ginning with rural school reor- ganization which will mean better school administration, closer to normal laods for teachers in one room schools and more adequate opportunity for senior pupils in central schools we shall be taking positive steps towards improv- ing the teacher situation.

EFFECTIVE THIS YEAR Norman Wilson, chai-rm-an of the meeting and director of the department's m a r in e services, said most of the major changes recommended by the delegates will be incorporated in the 1958 regulations.
Ire of delegates was raised W ‘ nesday over a clause making a oatman impaired by alcohol or a drug guilty of an offence if he “has the care or control of a vessel, whether it is in motion or no .”
Delegates argued a home owner couldn’-t be charged with being impaired with d-1-inking in his
COVEHEAD ROAD W.I.
The Covehead Road w.1, held th e i r regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Ivan Morrow with eight members and two visitors present. The meeting opened with the Island Hymn, followed by the roll call which was answered with “An Irish Joke.’ ' Minutes were read and approv- ed. Correspondence was read and discussed. Mrs. ErnestIMavcMil- lan, Mrs. Harvey MacDonald and Mrs. Phillip Maclnnis volunteered to canvass the district during the Red Cross campaign. Incidentals to be purchased for the school were agreed upon fol- lowing the reports of the commit-
considered by many Island areas, a major obstacle to. this change. The conditions existing in many of our rural schools today over- shadows by far the alleged trans- portation problem. The unprog~res- sive and heedless few amy con- tinue to fight against and evade the proper course for the solution of our problems. However, these negative efforts in the end will be of no avail for the rpid course of events in the world and in our own great country will dictate these changes eventually.
The regrettable fact, of course, is that in the meantime, many of our young people will be den- ied their full and rightful educa- tional opportunities.
