as "the teschers' long summer vacation"--I worked in an office as statistical typist for two suc- cessive summers. Things which I experienced and observed in that world of business and industry convinced me, that if teaching is s soft job, there are plenty of jobs much sotlter.

Unsoeustomed Luxury

Firstofsll.Iwsssrnsse,dst the quality and abundance of working materials and office sp- pointments in this world- of dif- ferent endea r. I was. unaccus- tomed to such convenience-nay. luxuryl--in my everyday working world. Mine was the experience of fine poor cousin, wldeeyed and speechless at the affluence of s temporarily benevolent relative.

Supply csblne-ts. filing cabinets. mi-meogrsph machines, typewrit- ers-ail provided a convenience which the regular office worker accepted casually. Office and sta- tionery supplies were granted un- silntlngly. and securing these supplies was not the major pro- ject that it is in.sChool.

Amid such a wealth of mater- ial. I thought wlstfully of mY fruitless effort to secure ink erad- lcator for my personal use and pens for my pupils' use: to maintain an ancient mimeograph machine in our English depart- ment: to obtain sufficient cabinet space for my teaching materials.

A teacher's frequent use of ink ersdicetor is something about which the layman should know. Nowadays teachers do so much clerical work that teaching is sometimes an inddental thing. They do their clerical work un- der pressure. at great inconven- lence, and amid many distrau- tlons.

"This Job must be, done com- pletely and accurately in two days." they are told at a faculty meeting. At the time they are already bogged down with all that is involved in the impending is- suing of report cards. "We can't give you any more time, because we need your part of the job in order to proceed with ours. Please don't come and ask for more time on this job; it's to be done in two days. And , for Goodness' sake, be accurate! You have. no idea how much work you cause us when you make errors."

Now the impossibility of the situation is that during these two days the teacher is expected to perform all her regular duties; that is. teach five classes (ap- proximately 135 pupils), supervise a study hall (anywhere from 30 to 70 pupils). police halls and cafeteria. execute the duties in- volved in home room procedure. and coach any extra-curricular activity which she. may.spunsor.

For all clerical jobs- and she goes from one to another-and for organizing her lessons and marking papers. she is-given one period it day free from teaching and supervising pupils. Since even the administration recogniz- es that "free" period is a mis- n.omer. it is called her "prepa- ration" period.

Now where to do this work is a problem: she has not many choices. Since all classrooms are in use. she, must work in the smoke-filled teachers' room. This room is nothlngg more than a bare. ugly, noisy barn. off which leads the washroom. Or she may work in the student-filled lib-

A Moncton an cs launch- ed a verbal sortie at us for hav- ing dared to criticize the manage- ment of the Moncton Hawks. The main gist of his blast seemed to that our remarks were unsigned. ”like many such comments com- ing from the island.” We have put quotes on that last. but the words may have been a little dif- ferent. We can only say that our unsigned remarks have nothing to do with out courage tor. the lack of it! to stand behind what we say. but merely a matter of ed- itorial policy.

There is one advantage to an- onymous opinions. however. and that is that the degree of wisdom is not colored by the personality of the one who gave them. Addi- son said in "Sir Roger De Cn- verley" that most of the com- mon people Iof his day. of course) were willing to believe anything said by a man whose income was in the higher brackets.

- Attention - referee Power of 'ihe Atlantic Coast League: Might we respectfully ask you to thumb the pages of the rule book until you reach page 17. On that page you will find in rule 32 (A) words to this effect: That when a goaler is penalized. minor. major or mis- conduct, he is not sent to the penalty bench. but a player who is. please note. on the ice when the offence was committed. be design- ated by the player's coach to serve the penalty for the goal- keeper. When Pidsodny drew a major Saturday night. Robinson who had not appeared in the game up to that time set out the penal- ty.

0! course, with the score 7-1 a- gainst the islanders at the time the mistake could not have chang- ed the comple ion of the game. but there is a certain advantage in letting the poorest or spare player sit out the goalie's penalty. especially in the case of miscon- duct. and that is why the rule has been changed.

Jack Frost has been showing a little more strength of character down here in Prince County of late. and there is hope that our Raceway Stadium can be got ready for some hockey in the near future. The Bedeque and Ken- ingion rinks are starting off to- night, and no doubt 0'Lesry and Alberton will not be far behind. It was encouraging to hear that the Borden Intermediates have de- cided to enter the Western League with 0'Lenry. Alberton and Sum- merside. Kensington is also plan- ning on icing an intermediate "B" club. if the caliber of their play- ers warrant it. so there should be some red-hot competition in that bracket before spring.

Word has been received in Sum- merside from president MacDon- gali of the M.A.1f.A. that the minor hockey groups have not been granted an extension for registra- tion as yet. He said he" thought the extension had gone through for intermediate "B" but not sure of even that. It would seem. under the present circumstances. where mild weather has kept the boys off natural ice rinks. that the only sensible and logical thing to do would be to grant extensions in all those divisions.
