Southpqrtconiniunity organize Affiliation To H. And 8. Assoc.
A meeting ws.s.held Monday evening. March 8 in the South- port school, with the object of forming in that community, an affiliation with the Home and School Association. as a project of the Women's Institute in that district.
This is s new venture of the Institute. and it was gratifying to see so many interested persons present. including the school teachers.
The committee in charge was composed of three Institute mem- bers and the three school trustees. The guest speakers were Mrs. J Gordon MacDonald. president of the Provincial Home and School Association: Dr. L. W. Shaw, Dep- uty Minlster and Director of Edn- cation, and 'Mr. Edward Mac- Phail, supervisor of correspondence study.
The speakers outlined the origin, meaning and object of the Home and School Association. emphasiz- ing the necessity of s close con- taot between the parent and the teacher. The interested audience engaged in ii. lively discussion and many problems concerning school, children. and teaching methods were cleared up.
The meeting was brought to a close by the showing of a film depicting the close contact of the home with the school.
A vote of thanks was extended to the visiting speakers.
Mrs. n..s. MacDonald was chair- man of the meeting. Plans are being made to hold about three such meetings during the year.

why the Government should pay for this damage. In Dr. Robert, son's time the teachers were in- structcd to keep a check on the students everywhere in the build- ing.
"There are also some stories on the rounds which are not too edi- fying about a dance which ended in a free-for-all fight last fall and as a result of which several stu- dents were expelled." he stated.
"Prince of Wales College is be- ing conducted along sectarian lines," said the Doctor. "There are no Catholics in any position of authority. Ever since the Col- lege was founded there has been Protestant Principals and fortun- ately they were good ones.
"For many years Dr. Henry Blanchard was Vicc-Principal and he was a very good men in that position. When Dr. G. D. Steel retired as Principal I went to the Premier and asked him to ap- point a Catholic in his place.
"He said there were no Cathol- ics available with any administ- rative experience. I said there was Lt. Col. W1. MacDonald. The Premier stated that he had no ex- perience in administrative work, What? I said. he commanded a regiment in the army. Then the Premier went out to appoint a. man with absolutely no administ- rative experience at all.
"The administrative committee of Prince of Wales College is now composed of Frank Macxinnon.
Principal; James Brown. Vice- Principal and Lillian H. Seaman, Registrar. At least they could
have added one or two more and put a. Catholic on the committee.
Measure Of Fair Play
"How many of you would do I thing like that as a matter of fan play?" he asked the members. "I don't think you'd like it. I don't care what race or creed a man is, that's his business, but I do want to see all races and crews given a measure of fair play. '.l'liai.'s a matter of democratic Justice. It was so in the days of Dr. Shaw, Dr. Robertson or Dr Steel.
"Dr. MacKinnoii laid down his own terms on which he became Principal. I wonder what would happen. Mr. Minister of Public Works. if the Superintendent of the Government Garage was not subject to the authority of your Deputy Minister.
Speaking about the proposed bill which would have handed govern- ing authority over to a board of governors and the Principal. Dr. MaoMillan staicd "Prince of Wales College is the bed-rock of educa- tion here because it was built for the training of teachers in the Province. Today the teacher train- ing department has become noth- ing less than the tail of the dot"
"According to this bill it was proposed that a board of govern- ors be set up giving them almost despotic powers. This board was to consist of eleven members.
"Who were to be eligible for this board of governors? Not the Members of this House, nor of the Civil Service, nor any other Col- lege. nor the staff of P.W.C. other than the Principal." he stated.
"Also according to the bill the governors could not appoint any- one to the staff without the con- sent and recommendation of the Principal. The bill would have put the absolute and autocratic con- trol of P.W.C. into the hands of one man. I never saw the like of it," said the Doctor.
This is in ke.,' , with a speech Dr. Macxinrion made recently in Nova scotia in which he advoc- ated the same principle. The theory is to divorce the College from the Departniciit of Educa- tion. Iam glad to say that the Government had the wisdom to turn down the bill. I know you mentors would never have agreed to such a proposal." he stated.

Y's George Melkle of Summer- side. District Governor of the Island Y's Men. was the guest speaker at the regular weekly meeting of the Alpha Y's Men's Club held last evening in the banquet room of the Y. M. C. A when he made an official visit to the club. Y's George spoke on the different phases of MEIl'1 work. He dealt briefly with Boys'
Work, Fellowship. at the meet- ing and stressed the importance of the "World Outlook" feature
of the Y's Men. He felt a better name would be "World Service" and pointed out the great need for help in the world today.
Y's George mentioned especially the children of Korea who through no fault of their own suffered starvation and pi-ivation beyond our imagination and said every effort should be made to send them clothing and food.

taught properly although there are
.17 more teachers employed than
in 1033-31. There is something wrong when parents of this City are sending their students to Hor- ton. They have no confidence in our institution and I think this condition must be remedied." he concluded.
Sjeaking with reference to the Crown Lands, Dr. MacMlllan atatcd recent items in the press would indicate that there had never been any successful efforts in pressing claims at Ottawa in lieu of crown lands.
He stated that this was not correct as on three occasions the Government of Prince Edward 15- land had received judgments from Ottawa totalling 37,500,000.
Annual Subsidies
"In 1912 Chief Justice Mathia- son received an annual subsidy of 3100.000 while in 1926 through the Duncan Commission we got an annual subsidy of sl26.000 or 596 of the judgment of 32,500,000. In 1934 Frank MacPhee and I went before the White Commission and received another annual subsidy of sl50,000 or 51,". of the judgment
of 53,000,000." He stated that 1830 was the year of the great steal. "That
was the year the Federal Gov- cmment agreed to give the lands of which we were partners to Quebec. Ontario and the Western Provinces."
I-Ie charged a member of the Ontario Legislature serving on the White Board had written a report which closed the door on those lands of which Prince Edward Is- land had been partners with the Dominion Government. "I could never understand that injustice.' he stated. "it has cost us a lot of money."
"Look today how much oil is coming out of those lands of Nort- hern Alberta. Alberta has become so rich that she could pay off her debt!
Dr. MacMiilan pointed out that Manitoba had raised the devil over the crown land issues for years. "They wanted the unas- signed lands to the North Pending the decision of the Fed- eral Government they ceceived a subsidy. In the end they got the lands and were Hold to keep the subsidy. We should all get a share of these lands."
Poor Agreement
"In 1942 the Province entered an agreement with the Federal Government to receive is minimum of 82,000,000. It should have been four or five million. I would never have agreed to that agreement," he stated.
Dr. MucMillan stated that while he was Premier in 1034 he met with Premiers Angus MacDonald of Nova Bcotla and Tilley of New Brunswick and as a result of this meeting they forced the 'Fedcrai Governments hand.
"I feel you have accomplished something in your meeting with Premiers MacDonald and Flem- ming." he told the Leader of the Government. "Why didn't Prem- iers McNeil, MacDonald and Jones do something like thst?'
Dr. MacMlllan stated that pres- ent Government should go after their share of the crown lands.
"We will make the presentations at the opportune time." replied the Premier.
”The Minister of Public Works and Highways has received a. lot of criticism he doesn't deserve: stated Dr. Maclvfillan. "The blame for the poor road conditions rest with the ex-Premier.
"He fiddled and fooled with the Trans Canada Highway until it is now in its fourth year and we haven't even got the road complet- ed botwoen Charlottetown and Borden. .
"I asked him every year to tell us the routs from Borden to Char- lottctown and I always got the same stupid answer if don't know.'
"He didn't think there was any man In the Government good enough to plan for the Trans Ca- nada Highway. Following his us- uol course of contempt for any- one's Judgment but his own he took the responsibility of the Trans Canada Highway and look at the result today.
Work Neglected
"The work that should have been done was neglected with the re- sult thst you cant travel over parts of our main highway in soft weather. If this work had been done at the proper time there would be no problem.”
Dr. Macmillan requested more per dim allowance for the hos- pitlil. The Goveriinent nbw pays the hospitals 31.00 per patient a
around 3091.?

lent in the City Hospital was'39.- so in 1953." he stated. "Only I handful of the patients are payc ing there way from a financial standpoint. The Prince Edward Island Hospital is in the same position and the Prince County Hospital is worse off than either of the others."
"For years the problem of a new Treatment Centre at Falcon- wood was not tackled properly," stated the doctor. Murchison has asked for new quarters for the past l5 years and got nowhere. The past Government moved too slowly on the matter. There are three splendid physicians at Faioonwood but they have no proper accom- modailons in which to work.
"The present plans for the new Centre correspond exactly with those made up by three experts back in 1932. I wasn't allowed to go ahead with the building at that time because the plans called for 535,000 expenditures and they said that was too much.
The Doctor staied he did not agree that Dre, Theriault and Mc- Vicar should be called upon to give their services free of charge to those who could afford to pay. "Phycliiatrlc patients are very dif- ficult to deal with and it takes a long time for their cases to be properly diagnosed. some people like to be sick and they take up valuable time of doctors. Those who afford it should be made Day in all branches of medical treat- ment."
Ilousing Conditions
The Doctor also spoke about the housing problem in the City. "One of our most serious problems in the City is that of housing," he stated. "It is a difficult thing to deal wiih and it is hard to say what is the proper solution.
"It is quite true that there are people existing in old houses not fit for human habitation. I was health officer in the City for I5 years from 1913-30 and condemned sev- beral houses that are still standing today and full of tenants.
"The Board of Health has power to close them up but what are you going to do with the people. They can't go to the City because the City has no money and it is not a Provincial Government mat- tcr."
Dr. MricMlilan stated he was dcllgliicd with the splendid film shown in the members on the tourist industry of the Province. ''I am sure it will do a lot to ad- vertize our tourist industry and ihc beauties of our Province," he sinicrl.
''I agree with ovcry move the Gov:-rnnwni makes to give mnre afveriiring in the Province.
Every pro:-aiition should be taken to see that tourists are well treated.
in his remarks the Doctor stet- cd there were several men whom he should have mentioned whilc sneaking ahoiit the valuable men in the Government Health Da- parlmrnis. These included Dr. Tcmplc Hooper, head of Cancer Flinlr; Dr. Frank Jciks and Dr. George Fisher.
He spoke about the work be- ing done to combat cancer and xiriir-ii "It is generally acknow-

Notre Dame
A three-act romantic comedy. "Pride and Prejudice", by Jane Kendell. was presented by the col- lege students of Notre Dame Ac- aduny at the auditorium last night. under the direction of Sis- ter St. Augustus.
The plot of the play was pleas- antly familiar to nearly all meni- bars of the audience who recol- lecicd the novel on school curric- uiums-"Pride and Prejudice" by the Engilish novelist, Jane Austen.
Central figure of the middle- class household was the highly excitable mother of five daughters, Mrs. Bennett. who personality was captured with livellneas by Wilma Mcllugh. Barbara Dalton, in beautiful poise, played the inde- pendent daughter. Elizabeth. oth- ers in the cast were Eve Gallant. as the dry-humored husband and father; June Gallant as the gen- tle daughter. Jane; Norine Gillls as the bookish daughter, Mary; Gertrude Fitzgerald as the fret- f-ul daughter; Joyce Callaghan as Lydia, the carefree daughter; Kay Mooney, who played the pompous clergyman: Genevieve Rossiter as Mr. Blngley. the wealthy young bachelor; Doreen Reid, as Miss Blngley. a haughty woman; Fran- ces Campbeil. who was the proud young man called Mr. Darcy: Ei- ainc Mclnnls, as Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Darcy's overbearing aunt; Mary Mccnregor. as Lady Lucas. neighbor to the Bcnnetis: Anne Oil-Ialloran, Lady Lucas' plain daughter; Eileen Murray, who played Mr. Wickham. a young officer who elopes with Lydia: and Patricia. Hammill a.sHlll the maid.
With a fine touch of humor arising from the commonplace, the play unfolds the hops of Mrs. Bennett, living in the eighteenth Oeni-UFY. whose greatest desire is to have her daughters weil-mar- ried. Amidst the swirl of gaiiy riiiboned bonnets and fiouncy long dresses, romance does enter into the household and Mrs, Bennett does everything she can to make sure her dreams materialize.
No sooner does romance enter. does it dcipart. Mrs. Bennett rc- acis excitedly until nervous ex- haustion collapses her. Her daugh- ters. Jane, Elizabeth and Lydia appear to be ruined. However. through the fine character of El- izabeth's suitor, Mr. Darcy. the marriages of Jane and Lydia are made pomibie. as well as his own.
The main interest in the play is the romance, although the re- vealing of charactcrt brings much interest and humor to the plot.
