Says Education Picture

Here Is Not Reassuring

Mr. Kenneth G. Parker. super- visor of schools, Charlottetown was the guest speaker, at the tenth mniversary birthday party of the gummerslde Home and School As- iociatlln held in the school library ast evening.

Mr. Parker, introduced by the chairman, Mr. Allison MacLean. spoke of his residence on Prince Edward Island as being pleasur- able and rewarding in most res- pects but rather frustrating in terms of reaching educational ob- jectives here. He congratulated Summerside educational authorit- 195 on the building of their new high school, and said he looked to Prince County for "tangible evid- ence on the part of its citizens that it is worthwhile to invest in the education of our youth."

The overall picture on Prince Edward Island is not reassuring, the speaker said. "We are faced with an educational crisis and should re-assess our resources in the light of our educational needs. over one-half of island teachers have not completed their junior matriculation, while 78 percent of Nova Scotia teachers have senior matriculation. We have the larg- est percentage (ill per cent) of one room schools in all Canada. The proportion of boys and girls who

leave school at the grade VIII level in Prince Edward Island is larger by fat than in any other Canadian province. if we have pride in our Island tradition. we should not send our young people out to other provinces with such a handicap.

Toronto is demanding grade XII education for its newsboys. As re- gards those who stay at home, it must be remembered that medioc- re t r .. make mediocre pupils, mediocre pupils make mediocre citizens, and mediocre citizens make a mediocre society.

in 1955 P.E.I. was the only prov- ince showing : substantial decre- ase in first class teachers. In the last five years there were no honor students (over 80 per cent) enroll-

'ed in teacher training classes here. and one-half of those enrolled this year have academic I " . "We normally need 150 new teache- annually to keep our supply at an adequate level. but we have only 50 students training this year. As regards married teachers who come back to relieve the scarcity. we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Not many more such teach ers are available."

The speaker went on to say that "we have the lowest tax rate per level of income of any province in Canada. Of course, our revenue potential cannot compare with such provinces as Ontario. but our tax for education is much lower considering people with incomes equal to those in other provinces. All Canada spends 312 per capita in liquor, and we are right behind with 311, but the discrepancy is

taxes."

'1'wo instructors in arts and crafts for the Women's Institutes are leaving our province because when they asked for higher sal- aries, all the government could spare was 8100 each. This some government found 312,000 to in- crease the salaries of the mem- bers of the House recently.

Mr. Parker blamed educational apathy for some of the ills. stating that seldom a day passed that dele- gations were not calling on the Minister of Highways for addition- at assistance. The Minister of Ed- ucation rarely received such dele- gations. The speaker summed up basic needs as follows: 1. Reas- sessment of values. 2. The convinc- ing of farmers and fishermen that they can afford to pay more taxes for education. 3. Larger adminisir rative units. 4. Grades IX and X taken out of the one-room schools. 5. Obligatory summer training for teachers, or at least a step in that direction. 6. Greater recognition for higher professional qualificat- ions.

SZOO Cheque-For Memorial Fund Oi Summerside Legion

A cheque for 3200.00 was pres- cnled to the Canadian Legion Mem nrial Fund by the ladies of the Summerside Canadian Legion Aux iliary at their monthly meeting last evening held in the Legion home. The presentation was made by the Auxiliary president, Mrs. Morley Wylie and was received on behalf of the Memorial Fund com- mitice by the president of the No. 5 Canadian Legion Branch, Sum- merside G. Lorne Monkley, who cxpressed sincere thanks for the large donation.

Mr. Earl Cannon, past president of the branch. as guest speaker, outlined the aims and pi' ' ' of the Canadian Legion an- their relationship to the Ladies Auxil- iary. In the course of his remarks Mr. Cannon stressed the need of perpetuating the memory of those who lost their lives in the wars and stated that all of us are inclined to have short memories in this re- gard. He said the Legion "helps people to remember the supreme sacrifices that were made on our behalf, through the various funct- ions of the uaganization."

Mr. Cannon stated, he believed that had it not been for the Canad- Ian Legion, Summerside would. in all probability, never have had a memorial erected to the memory of those who fell during the Sec-

ln conclusion Mr. Cannon said there is no finer example of an

auxiliary than the one in Summer- side and congratulated the mem- bers for their wonderful siIlJPOrt and the prestige they have brought to the Legion also for their sieadying influence on the branch and its individual members.

A vote of thanks was extended Mr. Cannon on behalf of the Aux- iliary by Mrs. Stephen Gillis, who said it was always a privilege and a pleasure for the Auxiliary to serve the legion on any occasion.

The Summerside Auxiliary is comprised of approximately 40 members who raise funds through catering to banquets.
