Dr. Cyrus MacMlllan. the highly qualified chairman of this commission, was fully cognizant of the conditions in this respect, of whim he had practical experience as ‘student and later as teacher at the cqllege. You couldrrt fool him about mummy; and he bewaila the fact that those old graded centres. with their educational environment as a gtimulu5 to students are all gone. m“ happened to them? Just the

The thing could not be done. The policy failed; and the meas we of its failure is well set fortls by the MvacMillan C nimlssion. Read mu- report, Mr. Speaker, and you will find that there are small schools with an average of from ten to fif- teen pupils. No matter 1f that school has the best qualified teacher in the Province. it cannot give the same results as a properly equipped school where you have in one room the best Diililis in the advanced departments of several surrounding schools. taught by some one of experience. You have now to undo the work mused by the giviltg away of that 0100.000 by the Bell Government. system adopted at that time. and you can prove lt right out of the re- pat of the Maclvflllan Commission, liters they advise getting back to lhose graded centres.

TEACHERS’ SALARIES

The matter of salaries is dealt with by this Commission. It is not necessary to 3o irlto this subject in detail, but there is o:.e section to which I wish particularly to refer. The Commission makes the follow- ing definite recommendation:

.

"Before the submission of any plan of‘ revenue to the people ev- ery possible means should be tak- en by the Board of Education t0 infonn the people of the conditions and of the real meaning of any suggested financial arrallggmgnt. we recommend the holding in ev- ery school district of educational meetings, at which officials of the Department, supervisors teachers and others in the district could stimulate a deeper interest in the whole quest/ion. We are convinced that with adequate information and a true realization of tho ser- iousness of the situation, the prob- lems willybe approached with gen- erous sympathy and practical re- suits."

New. Mr. Speaker. that was the program that we had in mind when we were urging that something eon- cise should be put in the Act which was passed the other day, called a Referendum Act. A Referendum Act on the statute books means noth- ing; it simply gives this Government power to hold a referendum. A gentle man asked me today if there was any reason why the Government, after putting that Act into effect, could not put on the ballot a. question as to the advisability of adopting the sale of 4 percent beer in, this Prov- ince. Personally I do not see any- thing in the Act to prevent it, be- cause the promoter of the bill, the Minister of Agriculture, admitted that anything could be put on the ballot.

HON. MIR. LEA: Of public inter- est.

DR. MCMTLLAN; Well, the ques- tion whether the Government would adopt the sale of 4 percent beer could be aquestion ofpublie inter- est, I submitmo that may be put on the ballot. That may possibly be what the referendum legislation is for. From iztimatiorls that have been thrown out and from the way the Prohibition Act is administered. there is reason to believe that my hon. friends are contemplating some such move. They may have a. desire to try out public opinion on the question of selling light wines and beer. If so, they have got the legis- lation right there. All they have to do is put any question like that on the ballot paper, and let it go. Is that the idea?

HON. MR. LEA: Oh, you are full of ideas. ‘

DR. MCMILLAN: If you had fol- lowed Premier Arsenaults policy of putting your proposed legislation on the statute books, and then letting the people pass on it, you would then have to stick to a definite pro- gram. The people would then know what they were voting on. They would simply be asked if they were satisfied with the legislation pro- posed. If they were, it would go in- to effect by Order in Council the next day. If not, it would not go in- to effect. Do you see the difference in the plan? There was everything

that was asked for, and you had to vote one way or the other. My hon friend from Montague, (Hon. Dr. Grant) knows how the people of Kings County voted 0:1 the Arsen- ault Government Act." 'I‘hey' 881d? "Yes, we are gonig to increase the teachers’ salaries" and they "filed for it; and my hon. friend from Montague was the only one 0:1 that side cf the House to stand up and say: "I am in favor of increasing the teachers salaries; I would give i-iiem ten percent incl-ease." Surely. He is an old. teacher himself; hi? K110" they reed the money and he would like to give them something defin- lte_ But he is the only one. He i! the oasis in the wilderness. I can only hope that he will not get into trcuble: because he said something about Prohibition which ShOWGd he has got a fair amount oi izdepenii‘ enzc any way and that's a dmgerous quality m have, to the hon. gentle- men among whom he is sitting now.

Dr. Ramsay preached ‘on Pentecost, his text be- ing Acts 2-17, pointing out the sig- nificance of the Holy Spirit; how we may have it and the effect on our lives.

Dr. A. C. Vincent, referring to the day as the nineteen hundredth an- niversary of Pentecost. spoke with moving eloquence on “A Vital Ques- tion." basing his thought on the question of Saint Paul to the Church at Ephesus, "De ye receive the Holy spirit, when ye believed." Pentecost in the words of Saint Augustine, was tbs day or birth of the Church. It was the day of the bestowal of pow- er. We do well to recognize all the great days of the Church. Christmas. Easter; and the mt, but let us in e. very special manner think of Pentecost, without which the Church would never have ‘entered on her glorious life.

In the Old Testament we have God for his people. He fights their battles, he heals. he guides. In the gospels we have through Jesus Christ, God with his people, asso- I ciating with them in the burden and heat. knowing their cares. sharing their sorrows. God. the great com- panlon. In the Acts and the Epistles, we have God in his people. through the Holy Spirit, inspiring energising, empowering. ‘

The question is a pertinent one to-day as well as in the first century. Have ye received the Holy Spirit? Are there marks by which we may be aware of this gracious Presence? Yes. we shall find a passion of de- votion to Jesus Christ. we shall find an ardent love of- God's word. and we shall find a consciousness of power. power to live for Christ. pow- er for the life victorious. power for witness, power for realizing the Christ.

Dissatisfied with a weak andnaked and miserable religious life. let us lock to the Holy spll-lt forpoeitive. dynamic, vivid enduring experience. The source of power is eternal. the wsyto power remains ever the some.
