The weekly New Statesman and

Nation says next week's vote will

decide "the future of the Labor garty itself." and warns that if

Dal Professor

A hignligilt of Education Week was observed last. night when Alexander S. Mowat, Professor of Education at Dalhousie uni- versity. aunressed a public meet- ing in Prlnca of Wales College auditorium. under the auspices of the Teachers institute, Charlotte- town and Rural Convention.

Professor Mowat brought an interesting and enlightening mes- sage on the subject of his ad- dress. "How you can tell an edu- cated man."

"There are three distinct fields in which one should judge an educated man, each of which has its place." Prof. Mowat said. "These are intellect. character and sensitivity. in education gen- eral experience is very important A long period of education was necessary for the human. in con- trast with the education of the animal. its duration is life-long. being from birth to death." The speaker noted the importance of good health in achieving the goal. The educated man knows more. behaves better and feels more keenly.

Under the subject "Intellect." or what one knows, the task of the school was said to consist of furnishing of the tools of know- ledge to gain further knowledge -the ability to read. write and calculate. Another important duty of the school is to aid the pupil in selecting the best of human knowledge. and further to train specialists.

In the forming of character. Prof. Mowat said. habits at home and in school have a most im- portant place. The parent or tea- cher can aid also by channelling the child's attention, properly helping the learner to choose quality. Another factor is senti- ment, or what might be called love or loyalty. and here the young may be guided in his hero worship and his ideals.

Sensitivity. which is the most neglected of the three phases. could be interpreted as recogni- tion and appreciation of excel- lent-e. The educater would do well to introduce the child to the best which is comprehensible to him. Prof. Mowat said.

He spoke of sensitivity in see- ing sport ability of great stature.

be built across the West River. with work to commence by the month of May. He said that he had questioned the Leader of the Opposition regarding the bridge and when he could not get a com- mltal answer. the Department went ahead with the plans. He explained the decision not to build a causeway was reached when representations were made to his office to the effect that a num- ber of people fish amelta in the West River and if a causeway were built. they would be de- prived of part of their living. Speaking of the dust nuisance in the villages, the Minister said it presented a problem. Calcium chloride was found to be effec- tive but it made the road very muddy in the fall of the year and in some areas the residents have asked to discontinue this treatment. He told of one village where the le themselvu. were interested ough to spray the road with waste oil and et- fected a repellent to the dust nuisance.

Mr. MacKinnon noted that some

the i r-- ' -

criticized the Department for working on the roads late in the season. He accepted the critic- ism and said that if any member along with his colleague came to the.Depai-tment and made a re- quest to have work discontinu- ed. be would only be too glad to co-operate. lie otatod. however. that in some dlatricts the De- partment had heon requested to work late and they acceded to that request.

TRUCK TRAFFIC

The minister said that It was his duty as minister of Highways to protect the investment of this province by seeing that the roads are not destroyed by heavy loads at a time of year when that road in not in a condition

with anybody but pointed out that trucks travelling over pave- ment could in two days cause as much as a third of what it cost to build the road originally. He said that in extreme instances where a truck had left the Pro-

stretch a point and see that he was able to get home.

The Minister went on to deal with the criticism of some people regarding the Trans h- way. He said that many pictur- ed this highway as a huge ea- travagansa which would serve only a small portion of the Pro- . In defence of this critte-

Education Week Meeting

nut listed three departments. namely; literature. music and art in slightly more important. in a complete education. He spoke a. the importance of ainccrity. how sensitivity could develop from a child's love of simple verse and songs of home. Included also was the value of expression in art. the fine work of children's art education being done today as observed locally at the children's art centre by Miss Johnston.

"The identifying feature of an educated person were knowing more. behaving better and feel- ing more keenly." Prof Mowat concluded.

Lieut-Col. L. T. Lowthcr pre- sided and opened the meeting with a few remarks of welcome. Professor Mowat was introduced by Dr. Frank MacKinnon. Prin- cipal of Prince of Wales College. who recalled pleasant instances of work on committees with him and also touched on the profes- sor's prowess as an artist.

A warm vote of thanks was ex- tended the speaker on motion of K. A. Parker. Superintendant of City Schools. and seconded by Miss Mable Matheaon, Principal of Prince Street School.

Lieut-G v. T. W. L. Prowse and Mrs. Prowse. accompanied by WIC Alan MacMillan. were invited guests.

Just prior to the introduction of the guest speaker. a vigorous ap- peal for support was made by Lt.-Col. Leo F. MacDonald on behalf of the Red Cross financial drive now in progress throughout the Province.

A reception and delightful so- cial period in the library follow- ed the meeting. Refreshments were served by a joint commit- tee of 15 from the five Charlotte- town Home and School organiza- tions under leadership given by Mrs. W. E. Scantlehury. con- vener.

The main table was nicely de- corated with daffodils and yellow tapers.

Coffee was poured by Mrs. J. Gordon MacDonald and Mrs. Alexander Mclsaac. The guests were received by Miss Ann Walsh. president of the Teachers Institute. Charlottetown and Rural Convention.

Mr. MacKinnon: "I'm coming back. remember. and that work will be done."

WORK BY DISTRICTS

In listing the amount of sub- grad ng and widening done in the various districts the Min- later said that the second dis- triat of Queens was the banner district with 27.9 miles. includ- ing a mile of concrete highway. Other districts in Queens county were as follows:

First District, 19.5; Third Dis- trlct. 19.5; Fourth District. 16.1 (TCI-I) 5.7; Fifth District. 6.5. Prince County - First District. 11.9 (Light paving. 6.5): Second District. 20.: (Light paving. 0.0): Third District. 11.1; Fourth Dis- trict. 16.5 (Light aving. 0.4!; Fifth District, 2.9 ( ht paving, . ).

King's County - First District, 16.5; Second District. 15.8; Third District. 11.6; Fourth District. 21.5; Fifth District. 14.9.

He explained further that the " did not it. re- present each district'a share be- cause weather and sail condit- ions were often a contributing factor in the work.

SNOW REMOVAL

I-I

"The demand for snow free road: has grown to a point where we must plan to keep practically all our 3.200 miles of road open at all times." said Mr. MacKin- non. "To this end. we are stead- ily adding to our equipment and hope it won't be long before we can cope with it." He went on to show that with increased traffic winter travelling with accumu- lated ice. presents almost as great a problem an the snow.

The Minigter noted that with the educational program of cen- tralized schools it will mean that the roads leading to these schools will have -to be kept open, no matter how thinly populated or how much other traffic may oc- cur on them. This. he said. was going to present quite a problem.

Answering critlciam from John A. MacDonald. concerning the underapending of money in his department, the Minister said the member from Cardigan was look- ing at the over all picture for both public works and highways. It was true. he said. that money had been voted for the new treat- ment eentra and which on ac- count of a delay in agreement on the plans of the buildllll. had to be carried over. It was neces- sary to vote the motley in order to be eligible ft: the Federal grant. "I feel we have too many problems to solve and too little money to do I with so that the utmost in eaeaomy must be

practised." he said. CONTIACPI

Father. Son Banauet Held At Zion Church

The annual father and son ban- quet.. sponsored by the Men's Brotherhood, was held last eve- ning in Zion Church. when up- wards of 200 dads and their lads were present.

After a sumptuous banquet. served by the Ladles' Auxiliary. a presentation was made to Ray MacLean for his recent heroic rescue of Wlllaim Izlambley from the fish pond at Southport on Jan. 23. An address was read by Keith Beaton. secretary of the Men's Brotherhood. and presenta- tion made by Ken MacQuarrie.

This was followed by the show- ing of two films - "Down The Gasoline Trail" and "Money In Your Pocket."

Rev. C. E. Evans gave a short impressive talk to the boys. em- phasizing the importance of boys in the world of today and tumor- row. the boy of today is the material with which the man of tomorrow is made of. The speak- er emphasized the fact that what the man of tomorrow will be depend on the example received from the dad of today.

The banquet was presided over by President Ray Sudsbury.

that during the past three years the contractor's price per mile has decreased steadily. In 1952 it was 59,164. in 1953 it was 58.346 and in 1954. 36.709.

"1 know there has been some

feeling that the contractors are getting some little advantage to which -they are not entitled." said Mr. MacKinnon. Speaking of the firm of Matheson and MacMillan. he said that this was the only company that after a contract was completed. did not come back looking for a little more money. He also said that the same firm took the contract for the North River Causeway for 365.000 less than another party bidding on it. "I want to point this out." said the Minister. "since I know that the Premier on account of his close relation to the firm of Matheson and Mac- Millan would be reluctant to do so." Mr. Bell: "How do you explain the Montague Bridge. why was there such a difference between the high and the low tender?"

Mr. MacKinnon: "We didn't have anyone in the Province who was capable of undertaking the job. A contractor can lose money in bridge building if he doesn't know the type of foundation with which he has,to deal."

Answering Mr. Myers criticism regarding the failure of the De- partment to do more maintain- ance work in his district. the Min- ister said that the most of-the machines working in the first dis- trict of Queen's were engaged in construction work "and when a machine is engaged in construct- ion you can't expect it to do maintainaonce work as well." he added.
