P. W. ii. standards

Today's convocation at Prince of Wales College is a timely occasion on which to emphasise the three important functions of this institution, as outlined by the prin- cipal, Dr. Frank MacKinnon, in his annual report to the Minister of Education last year. These functions are: (1) to provide high school matriculation, (2) to train teachers, and (3) to train students at the first and second year university level. "It is our duty to our students," adds Dr. Mac- Kinnon, "to see that they get the best pos- sible instruction at each of these levels and to keep A constant watch on professional and vocational requirements."

The standards at the College are exact- ing, but the courses would not be useful to the students if this were not the case. Actually the number of students attaining honour or certificate standing is exception- ally high, and the failure rate comparative- ly low. Almost one-third received certif- icates last year, 17 per cent failing. By comparison, of the McGill freshman class of 1950 (the 3rd year P.W.C. level), 25 per cent failed and were required to repeat their year or withdraw from the College, while another 38.5 per cent had to write supplementary examinations. Similar com- parisons could be made with the results in reputable Maritime Colleges and high schools and with the marks of the Com- mon Examining Board.

In bridging the gap between the schools on the one side and employment and un- iversities on the other, Prince of Wales is continuing to perform an invaluable func- tion. Its former graduates have achieved outstanding successes in many fields, at home and abroad, and this year's class will undoubtedly prove no exception. They, and all the students who have worked hard and conscientiously during the year, are to be congratulated. They represent a wide cross-section of our Province, and the most valuable asset we have in facing the problems and opportunities of the future.

There will be little sympathy wasted in this country on. the publishers whose pub- lications have brought down the wrath of various organizations interested in the moral development of the younger gener- ation. For that very reason, however, it is essential that despite the odlum attach- ed to them as a group they should receive scrupulous justice at the hands of the police as they are assured of doing if matters go to the courts.

Mr. F. W. Curtis' letter in todays Forum calls attention to our most vital transporta- tion probiem-that of a new car ferry to replace the 'Prince Edward Island'. It has been talked about for a long time, and each year the situation is getting worse. Every effort should be made to convince the auth- orities of the necessity of getting this pro- ject started immediately, if we are not to be handicapped even more seriously in the next few years. -

Who are the six personalities in history who have done more than any others to influence the life and thought of the av- erage middle-class intellectual Englishman and his wife, or the equivalent? It was asked and answered a few days ago by a very eminent historian. His list was- Christ, St. Paul, Pope Gregory the Great (who sent St. Augustine to Britain), Fran- cis of Assisi, Socrates and Aristotle. He did not claipn that the influence,was al- ways consclously absorbed, but simply that it was there, working effectively.

Education versus brute force not unseldom results in an iall round victory for the latter. In Durham,' England, engin- eering students had it all figured out math- ematically. Twenty men could beat an elephant in a tug of war.

CAR FERRY REQUIREMENTS sir,-Once again the long luf- fering residents of Prince Edwnrd Island, particularly the business men. have gone through the An- nual,serles of delays, frustrations and exasperations caused by the lack of adequatc ferrylng facilit- ies at the Cape Tormentine-Bob den terminals. I ” The loss of business by the ma- jority of our commcrcll estab- lishments has been no small mat.- ter, and the inconveniences suffer- cd by countless citizens, both of this Province and other provinces, is one that cannot be cast Aside lightly. The obvious part of the whole affair is that the, situation tends to become worse each year And there is every indication that it will continue to be more of A bur- den to the business And traveling life of this Province in the years to come-unless some constructive action is taken lmmcdlabely. The fault. does not lie with the Canadian National " .. or its officials, and it, is recognised that they have done A magnificent job with the facilities And equip- ment. At their disposal. The thanks of every business man on Prince Edward Island should be under- ed to them for the All-out effort they have made to give on to the best of their Ability. It would sppesr t.hAt. the ferry now operating in the enforced Ab- scnce of the "Abegwelt." has long passed its usefulness as A modern means of transportation, and like many of us. is becoming old And worn out. There Are some indica- tions that. another four or five years of service is All thAt cAn be expected from this boAt. . If this is the case, then immed- iate step should be taken to com- mence pens for replacement of this boat. Fen-lea of this type cannot be built. overnight, And it usually takes three in four years from the time of Actual blue printing to date of delivery. The supply of teel would Appear to bc easing so ewhat, And it would seem to this writer that now is the time for every organization on Prince Edward IAlAnd to urge the proper authorities to mAke every effort to protect our businesses And our homes. by the Auunnce that adequate ferry service will be pro- vldod in the future At. the Tor- ment.lne- t terminals. . A look into the future now by those in responsible positions may save much embnrrassment. in four or five years' time-what. is de- sired is less talk And more Action. I Am. sir, et.c.. F. W.

Bitter Battle Looming Over Redistribution

(By Arthur Blakely in Montreal

Gazette)

Barring some sweeping thin!” in the Government's redistribu-

lion plans, the present parliamen- tary sesslon will be neither short nor sweat from here on in. 0. C. F. politicos are Afraid that they've detected A Liberal plot to so re- arrange constituencies as to vir- tually wipe out the C. C. If. as A substantial political force in Can- ada. They're pledged to a 118115 W the finish.

Here's what happened: The c committee handling re- distribution hasn't. done much to date -- officially. The task of re- arranging” political boundaries has been turned over to eight sub- committees for the following areas: Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime Provinces, British Columbia. Man- itoba. Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Yukon and Northwest Terri- tories. They're supposed to do the the Job, then report back to tho main committee. If their mapwork is oK'd there. it ' ls incorpontaed into the main committee greport for submission to the Commons.
