Stresses Value In Inter-Province Teacher Exchange

OTTAWA Aug. 9 —(CP)— An law - provincial exchange ‘of ti-nchcrs was described tonight by l>r. 11C. Munroe of Ormstown, Que. as one means of helping Canada's teachers develop "nat- ional unity.“

In a speech prepared for dellv- wry to a dinner-meeting which of- ficially opened the Canadian Teachers Federation convention Dr. .\iunroe, C.'I‘.l=‘. president, urg- ed llie lifting of “barriers" which prevent teachers Ircmi moving from one Province to permanent positions in another.

"We need rmen and women in our class - rooms who can Jnterpret Canadian life by drawing from a wealth of personal experience," he l-rld lhe more than 100 delegates. 'l think every Canadian teacher should travel from coast to coast."

llc suggested a “Canadian lcaoher certificate," which would mcet the highest requirements in force in any of the Provinces. and "vrould be acceptable anywhere in lhc Dominion."

Noting that "one in seven or eight." of the persons now teach- ing is without minimum qualificat. ions. Dr. Munroe said that proper training of teachers should be one of the first concerns.

l-fe had been "greatly encourag- rrl" by the recently-announced federal-provincial health program.

"But. while we know that the prevailing shortage of doctors and nurses is serious. l am by no means convinced that it is more serious than the prevailing shortage of teachers."

O:.licrs who spoke during the létsiflil included Defencedviinlstcr claxton, ivl-io brought: greetings from the Government. Recalling Il1.\l the C. T.F. had 55,003 mem- bcrs in its organization, Mr. Clax- ton paid tribute to the Federation for the “amazing job" 1t had been doing. -

John Bracken, retiring leader of the Progressive-Conservative Par- tv. also spoke briefly. He said that education should have finan- cial support. from (he Federal tiorenimcnt.
