Salaries And Supplements

2 Among the topics discussed at the recent provincial conference on education was the need for “greater increments for years of service and greater differential for higher qua]: ilica-tions”. Put a little more simply, this means that teachers should be rewarded for experience and for im- proving their qualifications. With this we are in complete agreement.

We do feel, however, that it is just as important to reward out- standing ability. This is being done today in many sections of «Canada and the United States.

It is well to keep in mind that high qualification is not necessarily an index to outstanding ability. In teaching as in all other professions

ability varies among persons who '

possess similar academic and pro- 'fcssional attainments. A first-class teacher who has good success with 'his pupils and who satisfies his supervisor in administrative mat- ters' is obviously worth more than another first-class teacher who does his work haphazardly and has little to show for it at the end of the year. This is only a matter of common fairness. [As long as a “first class” label means the same thing to the mediocre as to the competent, there is bound to be dis- satisfaction in the teachers’ ranks.

Another thing that needs to be corrected is the practice of school districts paying, varying “supple- ments”. It is not fair that a compet- ent teacher in' one district should receive a bigger supplement than

an equally competent one in another .

district, simply because one district has more money at its disposal than the other. There should be some

way toequalize thesa paymgngfis‘

things are now, the poorer districts are always at o. disadvantage in engaging teachers.

No Immunity

In British Columbia :1 member of the Social Credit government violat- ed his public trust. 011 Dec. 7, 1955, a member of the Vancouver bar ap- proached the attOrney-general with documents impugning the honesty of the minister of lands and forestsin awarding forest management licences to certain companies. The government refused to investigate. In 1956 the Opposition called for a Royal Com-

' mission of investigation. The lawyer

w h o visited the attorney-general found himself faced with a slander suit instituted by the forestry minis. ter. The government tried to claim it was all a “smear campaign.” In the passage of time the slander suit was thrown out of court and the gov- ernment was forced to prosecute. Last week the convictions were registered and the penalties imposed-

The moral, comments an exchange, is clear. An elected or appointed

public Servant who violates his public _

trust will always live under the threat of exposure and punishment. It may take time for the offence to reach the courts, but there is no ultimate immunity. His political friends can- not save him. Public service is a very straight and narrow path, along which will be found many watchers to insure that those treading the path make no misstep.

French Republics

Writing to the Milwaukee Jour- nal, a schoolboy wanted .to know why the French government re- presents the Fifth Republic. What happened to the other four? Why, if France had a First Republic, was it necessary to have four more? Here are the Journal’s answers:

During the French revolution the parliament, which was known as the convention, got rid of royalty in September of 1792. On Sept. 22 of that year it ordered that its acts be dated “the first year of the re- public.” So began the First Repub- Iic.

Napoleon Bonaparte was elected emperor in 1804 and got rid of the republic. In 1848 there was another revolution which set up the Second chuhllc. Late in 1851 Louis Na-

aparte, president of the Second Re- public, madc himself emperor and got rid of the trappings of the re- public. Thc Franco-Prussian war ended this Napoleon’s empire and the provisional assembly in 1870 set up the Third Republic, which got full legal status in a new constitution adopted in 1875. This went the way of the others when Nazi Germany invaded France in World War II.

Liberation at the end of the war saw the birth of the Fourth Repub- Iic. It had political difficulties that\ contrasted sharply with the coun- try's economic boom. In 13 years France had 25 governments, hardly a sign of stability.

When the Fourth Republic went the way of the others is a matter for debate. Officially‘the republic died and the Fifth Republic was born With the adoption of the new constitution advocated by Gen. de Gaule on Oct. 5 of this year. But the death blow actually came with the revolt by army leaders' in Al-' geria last May—a revolt which stripped the government of power and projected de Gaulle into posi- tion of leadership.

So, the history of the five re- publics. And, if it continues to show the healthy life and strength with which de Gaulle has imbued it, long life and the Fifth Republic!

As chairman of the important House of Commons committee ’on' Mines, Forests and Waters, Mr. Murphy last season directed. its enquiries largely, towards the steps being taken to implement Prime Minister Diefenbakor’s “Vision” of Northern develop- ment.

Khrushchev’s

By Joseph

Canadian Press Staff Writer

Premier Nikita Khrushchev has cunningly invoked the fear of re- surgent German militarism in his new statement about Berlin.lhint- ing at a new Berlin blockade.

Just what Khrushchev hopes to accomplish is not yet clear; prob- any he has a number of things in mind. It isn't likely he really expects the United States, Brit- ain and France to follow his sug- gestion and get out of Berlin quietly.

Sevcral aims could be served by his ominous recollections of Hitler. his references to burgeon- ing West German industrializa- tion and his charge that in West Ger-many “militarism raises its head higher and higher.” SYMBOLIC CITY.

Soviet - dominated East Ger. many, of course, is- pictured as dedicated to innocent . peaceful pursuits under the protection of the Warsaw Pact and occupation by Russian troops. Thus. says Khrushchev, East G e r m a n y should be left alone in adminis- tration of its capital, Berlin.

Berlin's existence as a divided .

enclave 100 miles inside East Germany results from the break-

down of the Grand Alliance after“

the Second World War. The Pois-

for joint administration of the German capital by Russia, the U.S., Britain and France, but it laid .lown no provisions for free Western access to the city through the surrounding Soviet zone.

Berlin became a symbol of East-West enmity in the cold war. The West showed its determina- tion to maintain-links with Berlin by its (gigantic airlift in the face of a Russian-imposed blockade 10 years ago.

SOWING DOUBTS

One interpretation of Khrush- chev‘s move is that through the threat of a new blockade he hopes to force Western recognition of East Germany.

It could just as well be that Khrushchev merely a i m s to keep Europe-4nd the world—on edge by sowing doubts and fears about West Germany's ambitions, particularly in View of its in- creasing imlpcrtanre to NATO.

It's significant that he raised the question in a speech before a delegation from Poland, whose fears of Germany. are easily aroused and with good historical r e a s o n. Khrushchev obviously would enjoy the role of posing as a protector of Eastern Europe

. Apartheid Condemned

Montreal Star

Canada has joined with the ma- jority in the special U.N. poli- tical committee in calling on South Africa to abide by the hu- man nights and fundamental free- doms provisions of the Charter. It has done so. however. more to

’sor-row then in anger. The pre-

sentation cf the Canadian dele- gation is little more than a mild official condemnation of sin. Can- adian public feeling about apar- theid policies could be exores- sad in much stronger terms of condemnation than the Canadian delegation was permitted to use.

We pull our punches with re- spect to South Africa bccause it is a member of the Commonwealth. This is perhaps a good reason for expressing our disapproval of apartheid policies in the mild terms which W.J. Browne, MP. used the other day. but it should be made known to tho South Af"i:an government that this milducss. if it re’lccls govern— ment SOIICIIUCIC for South African

feelings, does not-represent pub- lic attitudes.

The issue, for the robe, is one of right and wrong. It is a moral issue on which we are entitled to feel moral irtfignabion. South Al;

ricia’s view is that its apartheid! policies are no business of theI

United Nations or anyone else: it is a purely domestic issue and not something for consideration by the international community. This view might hold water if the Charter, to which South Af- rica formally subscribes, did not “reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and wo- mcn. . ."A policy of apartheid which discriminates against mil- lions of persons on grounds of color. and discriminates cruelly, is a clear violation of the Char- ter.

Common Sense Feeding Rules

By Herman N. Bundescn, M.D.

BABIES thrive better when they are fed regularly. We know that. but doctors generally still don‘t recommend that infants be fcd at too rigidly scheduled in- tcrvals.

Your little tot knows when he is hungry. And he will let you know. too. But, again. this does not mean that he should be fed whenever he demands it.

Since doctors, as a rule, are against too rigid scheduled feed— ing and demand feeding, what do they as a rule recommend? USE COMMON SENSE

That's simple. All I suggest is a little common sense in this matter of feeding the baby. Let the baby develop a feeding rhy- thm of his own! ‘

I believe that it is cruel and inhuman to force a hungry baby to wait half an hour or even an hour for its food simply because his "feeding schedule" says it isn’t time for him to oat.

By the same taken. you can’t feed a baby every time he be gins to wall. Even a baby will recognize the fact that he has you dominated if you meet his We)? d'smrnd immediately. UNCONTROLLABLE CHILD If this continues, it won’t be long before you have an uncon- trollable child on your hands. No, I think you should let the baby develop his own "sched- ule,” so to speak.

Now this can be pretty rough on you parents during the first weeks ‘or 50. Your tot may have to be fed 10 or 12 times a day be- cause his stoma-ch use small that it can’t hold much milk, However. as he grows older, his feeding rhythm will become better regulated. By the time he is one month old. he probably will go for three or even longer between feedings While some infants continue this rhyih for some time, others graduate to "MEWS every flour hours by the time they no two to three mon- ths old.

0’“ most concern to you pay. 9M5. probably. is that middle-cl. the-flight feeding. 0n the over-age a baby begins I’D, sleep through the night When he is about one to two months old. This.
