March 3 to 9. is sponsored by an imposing list of industrial. labor and educational associa- tions, headed by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. the Cana- dian Labor Congress, the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association and the Canadian Home and school and Parent-Teacher Feder- ation.

MAIN QUESTIONS

Communities throughout the country are to discuss in Fools. public forums and through public polls:

1. ”Is our community making plans to cope with the great in- crease in school enrolments ex- pected during the next 1) years?"

2. "What are we doing to en- sure an adequate supply of teac- ers?"

- 3. "How sould education be fl- nanced?

4. "How can the number of scholarships be increased so that no gifted pupil will have to leave school for lack of money?" . George Croskerry, atlonal com- mittee chairman and secretary the Canadian Teschers' Federa-

EDUCATION DRIVE

Need 46,000 Teachers 1e Next 10 Years

tion, says: "There is much talk

. these days about the shortage of

teachers but not nearly so much about the need for raising teacli- ing standards."

GROWING SHORTAGE ..

Canada's estimated needs dur- ing the next 10 years are for 46.- 000 new teachers. additional to the 175.000 now teaching the coun- tryia 3.350.000 primary and sec- ondary school students.

Mr. Croskerry says a growing shortage is attributable in part to poor salaries (the 1956 average was 82,950). insufficient buildings and unattractive conditions.

"Further. there are approxi- mately tl.000 persons serving as teachers in Canada without any professional training and nearly 18,000 others whose education and training are below the prescribed minimum of the province in which they teach.

"Raising teaching standards will help to reduce. not increase. the teacher shortage. This seeming paradox is explained by the fact that teacher drop-out is more re- sponsiblc for the present shortage than an actual lack of recruits. "If entry standards were higher. misfits and those who use teach-

lug as a temporary means of em- ployment would be kept out.

"The teacher in today's world has a big job. Nothing but the best is good enough for this vital re- sponsibillty."

GREATER DEMAND

Foreseeing a greater demand for higher education. the sponsors say that of 100 Canadian children now in Grade VI only four will continue to a university degree. A greater premium on university education means a premium on the training leading to it-more and better teachers.

It also means. they say. "more scholarships and bursaries to en- able bright boys and girls. who cannot afford with their own re- sources to go to university, to con- tinue their studies."

Industry and commerce. to- gether with federal and provin- cial governmenis, could combine to provide them.

To meet the teacher shortage. they say. "better salaries and bet- ter teaching facilities will help to attract better teachers."

Education Week programs are under local arrangement. and sug- gestions for programs have been issued by the national committee

ere.

The Summerside Crystals dc feated the Freetown Royals 9-4 at Civic stadium last night to even their semi-final series for the M.A. H.A. Intermediate "B" champion- ship of Prince Edward Island at one game apiece.

WINNIPEG (CP)-A public so- countant who is able to move only his neck and two fingers of his left hand has gone into business- seiling by telephone.

get it right until Island farmers can buy their grain direct from Western farmers," said Mr. Sav- ille. "Something must be done. We are now bringing turkeys in from the United States."

Mr. Saville said the rural elec-

trtflcatlon program started by the present Government was one of the greatest factors in keeping people on the farms of the Island.

"It is one of the most popular

things that has ever struck this Province." he said. ROAD SIGNS

The placing of signs along the

roadside which would indicate the

best fishing places and bathing beaches was strongly urged by Mr. Saville who noted that tourists were often obliged to make inquir- ies regarding this matter He said

Kings County had many splendid bathing beaches which were not patronized because of this reason.

M. Saville expressed satisfaction with the road improvement pro- gram of the Government. He noted that last Spring had been very hard on roads and predicted that this year would be equally as bad. He emphasized the importance of road drainage to prevent ice from forming undcrncath washed out

He also urged the filling of bad

spots early in the spring, noting

that a large proportion of the haul- log for both farmers and fisher- men-takcs place at that time. "We cannot wait until the road dries up completely". he said. "They must he made possible as early as possible."

Speaking on education. Mr. Sav- ille said that during his lifetime it seemed there had never been a suitable system of education. He felt a good educational system should give as a minimum a good knowledge of th-. English lan- guage, history and arithmetic. Above all of these he felt the child should be imbued with a burning love for his native Prov-

ce.

PlJPILS' OPINIONS In referring to the Committee on Education. he felt that all aspects of education should be studied. He said that the opinion of the pupil in the school should not be overlooked in this investigation. "Providence has blessed us boun- tifully in this Province." said Mr. Saville. "If things are not as they should be. the trouble must be in ourselves."

Mr. Saville said he saw no ref- erence in the Speech regarding plan. Having had first hand experience in seeing the work of doctors and nurses during the past year, Mr. Saville said it would be a very fine thing if the Government could see fit to enter such an agreement.
