The Deputy Minister noted that the Federal Government was al- ready helping the provinces educat- ionally, through grants for vocat- ional trsining; physical fitness, carried gout for the most part through the schools; and also in health. ‘

Presenting an organizational chart of the Provincial Department oi Education, Dr. Shaw explained the structure of his department. He spoke oi the secretary receiving a number oi angry letters from teachers because oi the deduction oi Federation fees and super- annuation, and explained there was no choice under the law.

An attendance officer is avail- able and worthwhile and corre- spondence courses are provided for children unable to attend the regular classes. Dr. Shaw appealed to the teachers to refer their local difficulties to their supervisor, who will settle the matter within the district, where the situation is known and understood.

The speaks also commented on the good work oi Brig. W. W. Reid inxthe work of Physical Fitness and that oi Mr. I-I. Bralnweli Chindler, librarian and inlcharge of visualfand audio aids. 1-1‘: noted that the School Book Bureau was handicapped by the lack oi space.

‘Takllts Seek Plan To Keep India

In Commonwealth

By Fraser Wlghton

LONDON. April 30 -(R.eute_rsl

Airliners brought Common- wealth leaders to London today for momentous talks on co-opcra- tlon with the future republican India.

Th9 BPOlIlBht was on Prime Minister Jawaharlsl Nehru, whose country has three-fifths of the Commonwealth's 500,000,000 popu- lotion.

‘Tonight, the eve of the confer- ence, Nehru was still awaited.

He has said he is not committed to any specific plan. He has cle- nied reports that "something has already been arranged" so India may remain part of the Com- monwealth.

The other Commonwealth lead- ers are equally uncommitted.

Canada is understood to be tak- ing a broad-minded approach to the problem. It is thought in Lan- dcn that he would consider sym- pathetically some arrangement based on "understood relations." failinlggeneral agreement on s more rigid formula.

Several Commonwealth Prime Nlilnisters are said to have brought with thPm individual proposals which may help the conference in its search for a solution of the Indian problem.

But first they are likely to await Pandit Nehru’: indication of India's ideas, which may well set the course’ of discussions.

Prime Minister Attics was cri- gagsd in informairtalks wit-h the visitors at his official residence. l0 Downing Street. l-ic had re~ celved L. B. Pearson. Canadian Minister for Ibtternsl Affairs. who is representing Prime Minister St. Laurent; Dr. Mslan; and Prime Minister Seneayake of Ceylon.

Prime Minister Chlfley of Aus- tralia, Prime Minister Fraser of New Zealand and Prime Minister Liaquat All of Pakistan arrived this afternoon.

Fraoer said at the airport: ."We believe that with under- standing among the peoples of the British Commonwealth and with readiness to agree orl s com-

‘mon loyalty and accept common

responsibility. our difficulties will dissolve to the advantage of the peoples of the Commonwealth and the benefit of the cause of democ- racy and democratic freedom throughout the world."

The Australian. New Zealsnd and Pakistan Prime Ministers were to have informal talks with Attics tonight or tomorrow.
