At Liverpool Ted Hill General SPi'I'Pl3ry of the Bilermalters' Un- hill and a strike leader. told a nit-cling there is no prospect at the moment for a settlement, and that the men are resigned to a lung struggle.

Britain only last year last to Ja- pan her long supremacy as the world's greatest shipbuildar. Tha government has warned that Ja- pan, Germany and other compot- itors are already profiting from Britain's strike.

In addition. it appeared certain tat the wage strike movement would snowball to other indust- ries. .

Engineering unions, with 2.500.- ooo workers in vital industries. have scheduled a strike next Sat- urday. These unions. embracing workers in aviation, automobile. electrical equipment and heavy industrial concerns, also are de- manding a 10-per-cent wage in- cre e.

The strike was. for the shipbuild- ers. the culminai of long efforts to improve wages which average about it! his loliid (336.24) a week. This is about 522 better than the national average for industrial workers. The strikers are feeling the effects of itflation. and can- tend that shipyard profits in rec- ent years have been high. The prices of shipyards shares hava trebled since 1909.

Shipyard owners maintain that costs of modernizing plants are high, and that if wages are in- creased they will be unable to compete in world markets.

No man is an island. entire of llsrll; every man is a piece of a riintiiicnt. a part of the main; if a clud be washed away by the sea. Europe is the less. as well as a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of tliiiie unit were. Any man's death diminishes me. because I am in- iiilit-tl in mankind.

The words of John Donne could aptly apply to our educational Sn-lt'lll today in this province or in lilV pl'l)VlI'lCE for that matter. On lliiittluy morning next 500 school lwlls will ring in Prince Edward l-land calling 20.000 boys and girls in their appointed tasks.

what goes on there will affect yiiiir community, this province, lllls naflon and the world. No man is an island: no school is an is- laiiti; and if any of those boys and girls suffer from improper meth- vitlc. incompetent teachers, and in- adequate facilities, then these fac- 'tll'i will diminish the moral and

NOT EFFECTIVE

Our Canadian are not very effective according to "in- dustry". a periodical published by the Canadian Manufactured As- sociatlon in the February 1957 is- sue:

"This time. we are faced with the inescapable fact that there is a crisis in educational and. as a nation. we must gear ourselves to cope with it. What has turned this problem into a veritable crisis In such a.short time?

”Conside these factors alone: the challenge to our industrial pro- gress presented by thc shortage of engineers. scientists. and tech- nicians; the waste of abilities re- sulting from an incompleted edu- cation; the scarcity of qualified teachers. especially at the second- ary level; the obvious need for the expansion of university plant and equipment, and the lack of money to attract good men and

if we ignore the fact that we are faced with a crisis in education in this province. the bells will toll for boys and girls whose capaci-

SCHOOL LINE

A nation's best means of defence ; if not so much its planes. strips, and guns. but its schools. Not our dew line only but our hool line be our first line of defe e. Can- ada would be wise to send educa- tional observers as well as mili- tary observers to her embassies abroad.

The effectiveness of our Island schools. must first be considered under the guidance of and in co- operation with our Department of Education. If these resources are financially inadequate, then the Federal powers should make sure that our defences are sure.

The granting of millions of dol- lars to the universities by the Fed- eral government will hnve little ef- fect and little meanllll. if our ele- mentary and secondary schools cannot be adequately staffed and maintained. Unless we do this. it will be of small import to correct the weakness at the top. FOUNDATION

If we have a poor foundation. It will be of little use to repair the roof and paint the caves. Let's get down to the foundation. While the Federal powers are slowly ov- ercoming" the limitations of the British North America Act, we must act on a local or provincial
