hr. Mclntyre, principal of the l’ro- vincial Normal School, gave the school trustees of Manitoba sonic facts to think over when he address- ed tlieir convention at Winnipeg last week on the declining ullicithcy ol teiu'.lic|'s in rural schools. 'l‘l|e facts

'l`hc §‘ummer School of Science has;

been in existence for twenty-four‘ years. During this time it has donei much to arouse an interest in naturei Stildyi will 'C0 Prepare teachers fori carrying on this important work ini their schools. As a result of its ed~' ucative work the Government ol Novai Scotia issues a Rural Science Dip-i loma. To the teachers securing this diploma a bonus is given. The Pro- vince of New Brunswick also gives ul bonus of $30 a yeau to the teacher who is qualified to teach school, garden and nature study. Qualifica- tion to teach these subjects can be acquired at the Summer School of

Science. What Nova Scotia and Newl Brunswick are now doing Prince Ed- ward Island will soon do. It would be wisdom for our teachers to lic pi'epai‘ed when the change comes.

'l‘he small pay received by teach i

ers frequently prevents them tnkingi the opportunities offered fur improve-l ment. Perhaps, however, if by ellorl.‘ they become better qualilled, it niight
