"Prince Edward Island needs a new deal in education". Miss Ms- bel Matheson. President of the P. E.l. Teacher's Federation. told hundreds of island teachers yes- terday at the opening session of mg Federation's annual conven- tion. P.W.C. Auditorium was al-

parts of the Island who converged on the capital City for the three- day meeting. g '

The Federation President's above-quoted remark was made at the conclusion of that section of her report concerning the pres- entation of briefs to the Select standing Committee on Education. which has been adopted by the Legislature. the Federation brief included the following recommend- atlons: R -allocation of the tax- dollar. 'establishment of larger units of administration and region- al high schools, provision of "teach- at-ages" in certain rural areas. and improvement in the quality of teachers. for which purpose a number of suggestions were made.

”Pressure of time precluded an exhaustive study of all our educa- tional problems by this commit- tee”, she said. "but its chairman and members deserve our com- mendation. They received many hi-icis. sifted the mass of informa- tion contained in them, and pre- pared their repoft In a very short period. We can only hope that out of this inquiry will evolve a cour- ageous tong-term plan that will ensure the best possible education- at opportunities for the children of this Province."

HIGHLIGHTS

"Duringi the past year." Miss lliatheson said. "the Locals have been very active. I believe the future of our provincial or- ganization is closely linked with the work of the Locals. It is here that every teacher has an oppor- tunity to contribute to the formu- lating of Federation policy by mak- ing his or her wishes-known to the Localis representatives on the Board of Governors. and by meet- ing regularly to receive reports from these representatives rela- tive tn actions taken by the Board and their stand on important is- sues. If our organization is-to func- tion democratically. it is L ' ly essential that members of the Board of Governors be acquaint- ed with the wishes of the teach- ers they represent and to whom they are responsible.

"We. the member. of the Board. have been elected to serve you. the teaching body. and we must ever be mindful it is otir duty to initiate and implement policies that will bring the greatest good

it is humanly impossible always to satisfy the wishes of every . member. but we do welcome your views and suggestions. and as- sure you they are given serious l consideration.

"Local iworltshops' have done much to arouse teachers' interest. and several Locals have held ex- reptionally successful ones. Of course. the continued success of those depends on the leadership provided by the Local executive. and on the cooperation off all its members.

EXCELLENT MEDIUM

" 'Workshops' provide an excel- lent medium for ” cussing topics relating to school administration and classroom teaching. and for 'in-service' training. We have scarcely scratched the surface of the great depth of knowledge that can be acquired through concen- trated study in such groups.

"In order to strengthen the Lo- cals. the Board Governors agreed at its November meeting thatt the Local be empowered to enlarge its present executive of three members - president. vica- preoident and secretary-treaauh er - to five: and suggested that the past president be one of the two additional members.

"The members of the Board are very happy about the new life so evident in the Locals. and to encourage activity at that level voted twenty-five dollars a year in each Local to cover incidental expenses incurred In arranging meetings and diatrrlsutlng study materials.

IUMMER SCHOOL AT P.W.C.

"our organisation has long ad- vocated the establishment of a credit-conferring summer School at Prince of Wales College. The Department of Education took a step in this direction when last summer for the first time grads twelve courses were given. thus enabling teachers to raise their status from second to first class by attending a sufficient niunber of iiuch Summer Schools. How- ever. we should like to see a furth-

"The Prince Edward Island Tea- chera' Federation feels very strongly that we should have a voice in determining who aliau be admitted to the teaching profeggt ion. and that only those meeting Ptllltir for admiss- ion shouid be granted a license- therefore. we have made strong representations to the Minister of Education requesting that a Cer. tification Board be appointed and that the Federation have repre- sentation on such a board.

"It is desirable that teachers- in-training should be thoroughly acquainted with the aims and ac- tivities of our Federation. To this end. our General-Secretary. Miss Bowness, addressed the trainees in the Normal School last spring. explaining our Constitution and Supper tiou Act. informing them on Federation affairs. and pointing out to them the advan- tages of belonging to such an or- ganization. It is the intention to continue this plan so that the be- ginninf teachers will realize they belong to an organisation of which they can be justly proud and to which they owe loyal support. REQUEST COMMISSION

"The teachers assembled in an- nual convention in April. 1955. real- izlng the gravity of the educational situation in Prince Edward Island, Instructed the Board of Govern- ors to consider the advisability of requesting the provincial gov- ernrnent to set up a Royal Com- mission to investigate all matters pertaining to education in this province.

"In November of that year the Executive of the Prince.Edward Island Teachers' Federation walt- ed on the Executive Council. and I quested the appointment of such a commiission. Previous to this the Provincial Home and School Association. supported by the Ca- tholic Women's League. Federa- tion of Agriculture. andd Board of Trade. had made a similar re- quest; and in Octover. 1958. the Women's Institute also requested that a Royal Commission on Edu-

P. I. I. Department of Agnenltun

This year has shown great ad- vances in Artificial Breeding in the Province. To date approximate- ly eighty five hundred cows have n artificially bred. Nine Clubs are operating under the following inseminators: O'Leary and Dis- trict, Ted Sabine; Tyne Valley and District. Russell Dyment. North- am: Ken Walker. Summcrside: Kcnsington and District. Jim Hef- fel. Travellers Rest; Cornwall and District. Charlie Lank. North Riv- er; York and District. Lloyd Ves- sey. York; Hillsboro and District. Gordon Sheldow. Mlllview; Mont- ague and District. Lloyd Macl(in- non. Brooklyn; Eastern Kings. Albert Mills. Bay Fortune.

The conception rates have been satisfactory.. However. from time to time breeders. who are breed- ing artifically for the first year. run into difficulty. Generally meaking it is difficult to point at any one thing as being the source of trouble. In most cases it is a matter of several small factors being involved. The time of breed- ing Is a very important one. In artifical breeding the cow should be inseminated during the latter part of the heat period. Care and sound judgement must be exercis- ed because all females do not re- spond in the same manner. some animals are known to have ex- tremely short heat periods. Ani- mals should be kept quiet before and lter breeding. This " :!qli;ally as well to breeding natur-

It is an established fact that ani- mals on proper rations and being fed mineral supplements are gen- erally more consistent breeders.

some individuals may be suffering from an organic disturbance. These animals should be treated by a qualified veterinarian. In most cases this will save the ani- mal and increase the breeding ef- ficiency of the herd.
