Tile following correspondence between the Minister of Education and the Rector of St. Dunstan's Uiilvursity. in connection with the new teacher training courses at the University has been filed with the Legislative Committee on Edu- cation:

January 1. 1957 Rev, Edmund J. Roche Dean of Studies 51, Dunstan's University Charlottetown. P.E.I.

Reverend and dear Father: As indicated in our conversation today. I am writing you at this

thy yourself and your Deputy Min-I

time to further and to confirm this conversation, and to outline the po- sition which the Department of Education takes in respect to your request for provincial recognition of your proposed courses in Edu- cation as credits towards a teach- ers license in this province.

First may I take this opportunity of expressing to you, and to the Rector and staff of St. Dunstan's my personal pleasure and satis- faction of learning of yourinterest in the teaching of Education. as lam sure that your University which has made such a profound contribution towards higher edu- cation in this province for more than one hundred years. will con- tinue with this great contribution and will substantially add to it by the introduction of the proposed courses in Education which will en- abla your graduates and other which you qualify to, take their place among the honoured teach- ing profession of our island. I am sure that in this way your Univer- sity will exert a new and great in- fluence which will extend to the foundation of our educational sys- tem, into the classrooms of the province and which will provide us with additional teachers which I can assure you are greatly needed in our schools.

Your proposal outlines two clas- sea of applicants for a teacher's license:

1. Graduates

2. Undergraduates who have successfully completed one full year of academic study at the university level.

Your proposal indicates both classes will in addition to the reg- ular academic work successfully romplete Education 1 - Educational

Psychology and Education 2 -4

Methods of Teaching in Elemen- tary and High Schools according to the outline of study submitted and that these two classes shall be given in ' semesters. or half yearly college dition they sha shmplete at least 20 hours of practise teaching. -

As outlined in ourhconversatlon earlier to-day. we will have to provide for some considerable de- grce of uniformity in our require- ments for a teachers license. I also pointed out to you that we expect some revision may be made towards higher require- ments and that we do expect to ap- point during the year a new Direc-

with mutual understanding and co- operation we can effect whatever hanges our department may see necessa y to raise our standards and to provide adequate instruct-

Pasture may consist of rape, red clover. cereal grains or alfal- fa and should be sued every sec- ond year. In this year that pas- ture is not grazed by sows, it can be used for hay or growing a crop of grain.
