Sim-Shortly altl-r the formation of the present local govern- mt-nt a domuiitl was, malli-oiili fora substantial increase ot‘ tlic salar~ ics paid the country srliuul teachers. Tlierc was no complaint, as I unllerslaiitl from the teat-hers of the (Zliariottetoyvu or Suniniersiiic ‘schools. 'l‘hcse simply joined the union in order to lend the weight of their influence and action to procure more pay for their coufrercs

' in ihc country. ’l‘ln-y were asking nothing for themselves. Charlotte- town, i belicvc, has‘ always been ready and willing tocoinply‘ with any reasonable request to place the teachers employed by it on a sat- isfai-ltiry financial looting and the same as‘ fur as I know, is true of Slllilfli(‘l‘til(l0. The whole of the difflculty that has arisen in our educa- tional affairs and from which the claim for increased compensation has sprung has bet-n brought about simply because the country dis- irlris have not. sl-eu iii like Charloltctmvn and Suminerside to raise from among tlii-msclves by taxation the necessary supplemental allow aunt-s; lf they liad dunc s0 there would have been no threat of a sii-ikc, no VllPilnl schools, and no necessity for increased provincial taxation. Charlottetown or Summers-idle is not in tlic least to blaiuu for llll‘ llll'f'll.‘tflltlli of duty and want of public spirit in certain ecc- iluiis of ihi- country. The only fair remedy for this is to t-tiinpcl tliosc itisirii-ts to a {u-riliriiiaiii-o oi‘ llllfll‘ duty. liul the govcriiiin-ut. sliies at ‘ilivll u l-tuiin-u» and it‘l am ('()l‘l'\‘\‘lly inlorinI-d intend to inflict. upon tfhoili>ttciuyyii and Surniiitirsillc a most unjust and burdensome taxa- iion in (ndl-i- to i-aisi- money PlltiilZli io p-‘iy country tirachi-rs the sup- '[)lt~lll’t'lll. that ihc districts themselves should contribute.
