the time; is coming. uihen the people -will realize that true economy in the

management of their affairs, especially in theirhomedlsti-icts, and in their homedife, demands flint there aliouid be in every school districts good school building, ‘a considerable equipment. and an’ excellent schoolteacher. That is one absolutanecessity for Prince Edward island. We are not paying

' sufficient attention-loathe things that

ought‘ to be counted first, and-it is not wasteful economy to spend u largely increased amount upon the salary of the primary school teacher. It is reail, rigid economy. We think nf the effort the families have to make to secure-a primary education for their clrlldren. Tbey have to send ‘them off’ in tender‘ years ‘in neighboring sclicols__ to wdlstrlct where tliev main- tain ‘a good school. At great cost and at great rlslc-the families scatter- ed through this province from North Cape to East Point are at tremendous expense seeking an education for their children, which ought tn be obtained in the primary school in their own district. We think of the primary school. its necessity, its usfulnese, its tremendous value as an agency of up- lift‘ in Prince" Edward ‘Island, and I hope the time will soon come that. when dollars are DBfICd for cars thzi: they will always be available, that. when we want dollars for roads they will always be available. and that

. - ! when we need dollars for teachers.

THE CHARIDTTETOWN GUARDIAN

they will be available, too (Applause)

I hope the parents throughout the districts, that are now sacrificing and have ‘sacrificed in order to have n. excellently trained teacher to mining; tn their cberilhed children. will realise that s good education can be obtained. as it ought to be. by the peoplg [u the" cw‘?! home districts.

e do not__realize the value n: tim Prince Edward Island ‘school 53mm“ We think because we preian island that we are insular and isolated. that consenuepily we are a back number in our Prince Edward Island school flyysiem. Ii is true we hfiveallcwsd it to run down a trifle as we have Bllueezed out a number of promising male and female teachers We m...“ llct listen toe readily to ‘critics who say that the Prince Edward Island school system is antiquated, In t)", last siltlns or the Legislature n. ‘mi. tario. the Premier of tlm ppm-tn,“ promised that at the next sesslniL-tltn scfiinoi system would carry education ‘to

the farthest corners of Ontdm. so m...

children would not have lfylnavg tim} homes seeking grade and higirgfihnn] education, flint it would he canted m. iii the district in which the child was horn and in which their parents live

and that the child could be kept av.‘ into

home until it was able to enter university mtrk, '

That. ls what Ontario hopes tn do ln 1930-~~-\vlilt' Prince Edtvurlt Island in-

tcntlerl to (in PVPI‘ since i877. and what l

she has been ilolpg in a great manv districts nf the . province. _Oiitarg.o hopes iodo that in 1930. to establish the Prince Edward Island school system in Ontario, as tlia last word in education for a democratic country.

We do not realize just what a valu- able instrument we have in our school system in Prince Edward Island. and the sorry pity is, that not so mucu that our Legislature is not. leading; but that the parents are not pushing just a little stronger, and that the poor ffllllilies ni’ Prince Eilward island are not intelligently aware of wliatoppor- tunities they are missing, so 17mg 55 they are satisfied to have an lm_ mature and underpaid teacher in tho school, _ _

I uni glad to he able in say this in thepresence of the Minister of Agrj- culture. I would like to sayto his face that I believe him to be a map who is very intelligent on the school question and anxious to doeverytbinl; possible in the wav of improving our school system, and I woud just like lo feel that the people of the province are going to urge il-lli a little more strongly to have just a trifle mgr; vollrnse in {wing after the dollar for school p rposes,

I woui not like to stress that point. too greatly, but it is a point nu which there ought to be sermons preached in every church in Prince Eduard Isl- and Sunday as well as Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday. ‘Unfortunately the school question and school improve,- mvent la being loft to the Teachers’ Federation and to the casual pliiliin; tliropist who may find his way into our midst audtattempt to make hi; voice beard.

It is now almost a matter of common knowledge that the eggs of the VB!- ioua “worms" are voided by the animals, hatch; and the young worms crawl up the grass to re-enter the animal as it feeds. The eggs are, have bwn found vital after eighteen months so the yearly change of pasture is a distinctly sanitary step.
