Island Teachers

The statement by Dr. Lloyd Shaw that there are now only three schools on the Is- land without teachers indicates a decided improvement in that situation, as does the fact that the number of permit teachers has decreased from 126 in 19-16 to 62 to-

day. The elementary schools or rather the combined public schools and high schools wllich dot the Island, form the

backbone of our educational system, and it is the quality of the education provided there that largely cietcrnlines the standard to which higher education can be brought and, in fact, the whole formal education of the great majority of our people. The im- portance of providing good teachers for these schools can hardly be overemphasized and the Department is to be congratulated on the improvements shown.

Still Non-Citizens

An anomaly in the status of recently ar- rivcd refugees from Europe is becoming both’ more apparent and more troublesome, says the Globe and Mail. Canada has offi- cially adopted the designation of New Cana- dians for those who generally have been known as DP's, but the preferred name has little significance except in a human sense. Most of them are placed on a kind of one year's probation as workers, but their legal status as non-citizell New Canadians docs not change until five years ilavc been spent in the country.

All of them have passed through a double screening-that of the International Reill- gee Organization, and that of a competent body of Canadian officials. Their aggregate number is not so great that they cannot be easily checked. The suggestion is made that so soon as they have shown reliability and the promise of becoming good Canadians they should be given some kind of interim status which would at once more closely identify them with the country of their adoption and dignity their position as ill- dividtlals. The “first papers" which pro- spective new citizens are able to get in the United States provide these advantages.

The Seaweed Industry

A pamphlet on the Canadian seaweed industry, by Dr. R. C. Rose, of the division of applied botany, National Research La-

i boratories, has been published by the na-

tional chemurgic committee of the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce. It is not un- duly optimistic with regard to the possi- bilities of developing this industry to the processing stages in Canada at the present time. The grmvth of the carrageen (Irish moss) industry was assisted by the wartime shortage of agar and the fact that carragcen could not be imported from Europe. Now, however, the position has altered; agar is competing in some fields, and European ex- porters are offering some dried carragcen at prices below those paid in our Atlantic Provinces. The lower cost of European weed is due to loxvel" wages and in some cases government subsidies. “Can we mcct this competition?” the report asks—but un- fortunately docs not provide an answer.

llowcvcr, it ir; suggested that further rc- scarch would be helpful. In ill-iii, following a conference at Halifax called by the Na- tional Research Council on the utilization of seaweed, rm zlssociatc committee was forlncd lllldcl- the chairmanship of Dr. W. H. Cook, director of the division of applied biology, National Research Laboratories. This committee is still functioning with ten members representing the principal Cana- dian institutions interested in seaweed. Its object is to direct, coordinate and sponsor research activities. The members of this committee are unanimously agreed thai our best hope of meeting the competitio on carrageen is on the basis of quality.

Factors affecting the extraction of car- rageenin are now being studied with a view to adopting a standard laboratory method of extraction. When this is done it is planned to study the yield and quality from weed collected at various places and sea- sons. Reference is made to harvesting, drying and bleaching methods studied at the Atlantic Biological Station at St. Andrews, N.B., and the Station's general series circu- lar, No. 10, July 1947, is recommended in this connection. “As the markets for carra- geenin and alglnate increase,” Dr. Rose con- cludes, “these products should be extracted from Canadian weed, in Canadian factories, by Canadians." But he hazards no guess u to when thlx desirable consummation Will be effected.

gathering activities in Prince Edward Is- land.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Now for a bus service over all. O O O A Montreal firm is reported to be turn- ing out ladies’ stockings of finely spun steel. Whether there is any magnetic attraction built into them or not is not indicated. O O O The fame of P. E. I. advanced registry Yorkshires continues to spread. It seems that Island stock is helping Western breed- ers to take prizes on both sides of the border. ' O Should the C. N. R. obtain control of the Province for bus service, in the event of a railway strike we would be complete- ly cut off from traffic service by road as well as rail.

The visit of Mr. M. G. L. Stewart, Presi- dent of Imperial Oil Limited and directors and officials of the company has indeed been a welcome one. The Island is far from being at its best but at least we are able to show what winter should be like.

The King's County Federation of Agri- culture has been experiencing severe weath- er for its organizational meetings. That should at least ensure that the first officers are enthusiastic and not readily deterred by difficulties.

Canada's atomic research centre at Chalk River, Ont., is a remarkable place in more ways than one. According to Dr. David Keys, in the nearby village of Deep River children outnumber adults three to one, a truly astonishing statement for which there must be some undisclosed explanation.

Federal Government expenditures are increasing at a rate which worries even Ot- tawa, now that the exigencies of election- cering are well in the background. It is much easier to promise every sort of social benefit than to keep down the cost of pro- viding it.

A way to judge the value of health campaigns is suggested by an Ontario doc- tor, and the method seems sound. The question to ask is not merely is it for health, but does it assist the men who assist the men who are doing work to further health.

Chancellor Sir Stafford Cripps‘ state- ment that the American dollar has fallen five per cent more than the pound is some- what startling but, in a very real sense, true. A rise in price levels such as we saw in this country and the United States is certainly devaluation of the currency concerned.

The rotten-egg reception of a Spanish 4-man “cultural mission” in Havana, Car- acas and San Jose may have relieved the minds of the throwers of some of their antipathy towards Franco. From every other point of view the incidents are all to the advantage of the Spanish dictator.

A “ruinous rate war" between railways and the Canada Steamship Lines is warned against by counsel for C. S. L.

Joseph, 1st Baron Lister, English sur- geon, died this date 1912. He held the chairs of surgery successively in Glasgow, Edinburgh and King's College, London. A disciple of Pasteur he began using anti- septics in all his surgical operations. The immediate and definite success of the Lister- ian treatment soon led to its adoption by surgeons everywhere. He was president of the British Association in 1896 and the Royal Society 1895-1900; was raised to the peerage in 1897. Has many technical pub- lications to his credit.

If, (writes a correspondent to an Ameri- can contemporary), by any chance, the so- called “mercy killing" of suffering incur- ables should be legalized, the proponents of such a bill might just as well carry the \vhole business to its logical and inevitable conclusion: (1) the extermination of the malformed, the insane, the criminal, the so- cial and biological misfit; (2) the slaying of the mentally and physically weak, the blind, crippled, mute, diseased, alcoholic, aged; (3) the liquidation of all enemies of the state. Then, as we progress, the law might be stretched to include the rich moth- er who has been hanging around a little too long, the “unjust” father who will not let us have our way, or the neurotic wife who is something of a bother to us. . . . Is it later

than we think, or has the anti-Christ al- ready arrived!

Science and Politics

(Winnipeg Free Press)

Some light on what. is happin- lng to Soviet. scientists today is provided by the case histories of the two Lysenko brothers. One i; being lauded in Russia as a Isad- ing scientist. The other is in vol- untary exile in the U. S.

In considering the position of the two Lysenkos, it. should be re- membered that. since i946 all international trends in the sciences in R/ussia, and also in art. music, literature and the theatre have been under contin- uous attack. and almost all con- tacts with western thought cut off.

The new tack taken by Soviet science is well illustrated in the WOIK oi’ Trofim D. Lysenko, now regarded by the Politburo as the Soviet Union's leading biologist His fame there is mainly based on his work with wheat, plus his ability to draw from scientific research findings that jibe with Communist; doctrine.

. a . -

In brief, Lysenko further de- veloped a known method of speed- ing up the maturity of wheat. He also made great claims about in- creasing wheat. yields, (though they have not. been confirmed), and claimed to be able to produce plant. changes by grafting.

At a meeting of the Soviet Academy of Scientists lust: year his work was highly praised by most Russian scientists. But. sev- oral straddled the fence, and sev- ernl more were fairly outspoken against his theories. Ami- they'd had their say, Lysenko announ- ced that his views had received the prior approval of the Polit- buro. The dissenters were trapped They were denounced and remov- ed from their positions.

Following this, a letter was duti- fully sent to Stalin, praising him for his interest and "guidance” of biological research, and stat- ing that: "opposition between the two grpups has taken the form of an ideological class struggle . . , between the majority of the So- viet scientists and the few re- maining Russian scientists who

have retained traces of bourgois ideology . . , ," The other brother, Pavel D.

Lysenko, specialized in ndustrial science. In 1940 a Soviet publlca- tion "USSR. in Construction" devoted an entire issue to yhe scientific achievements of the Lysenko brothers. Pavel Lvsenko had discovered a method of ob- training coke from low-grade Bus. sinn coal acknowledged as valu- able by western scientists. He had made several other notable contributions to industrial re- search.

In i942 he was captured in his native Ukraine by the Germans, and liberated by Americans in 1946. When he in due course saw the direction scientific matters were taking in Russia he decided against returning.

It. is fairly evident now that the purge of intellectuals in Russia is part. of a drive to re. indoctrlnnie the whole porlula- tlon with the true faith of Com- munism.

The impact of this purge on science will take some years to assess, but the reaction to it. of Soviet. scientists ls well illustrat- ed by the opposite roads taken by the two Lysenko brothers. One readily accepted the interference of political "guidance" in scien- tiflc matters. The other rejected it. us incompatible with the true scientific outlook.

The Dog Gol Honle

(Stratford Beacon-Herald)

Some years ago a hunter, whom we knew intimately, lived in Cen- tral Michigan and went north across the Straits to hunt deer. taking "Ring" the family PM "mi deer hound with him. Two days before the hunt cndcrl "liinlz"_dls- appeared, and my friend remained a week after breaking camp, hop- ing that his do: would return- Ai. the end of a week's waitinfi the hunter sorrowfully returned home, and felt that no deer hunt was worth losing his dog. One night, five weeks later, bclWPPlI Christmas and New Year's, "Rirli!" scratched feehly at his master's door In Central Michigan. He was worn, tired, thin and \\'l‘Z1I‘y~'Illli. was the same old “Ring" and he received n royal welcome.

l-Iow did he rzct home? Did he cross Lake lVlichlgan on the ice? Did he hitch-hike on one of the ferries-or did he come home by Chicago? Treat your dog right, and he'll come home, or perish in the attempt.

A ROWDY INCIDENT

"On Monday night, a number of the crew of H.M.S. Rose were on shore, on liberty, indulging in the usual froiics of sailors ashore. and were scattered through the different taverns in this Town; their conduct was certainly most inoffrnsivc, and yet, will it be believed, a party of rulliianly assassins collected under the walls of the Province Building, and there al-mcd themselves with bludgeorls. evidently with the in- lcniion of doing bodily harm to some persons. Whilst I noticed their conduct, and feared for the result. I observed the portly per-

son of a _weli-known medical gentleman, distinguished for hi5 personal strength and fearless

bearing, approach, when, to my astonishment, the whole party hasllily dispersed, whilst he as- sailed them ln language calculat- ed to cause thorn to feel shame for their cowardlly conduct. I ob- served the sanle gentleman. sub- scquently, vainly endeavour to induce a fellow, in company with three men of colour, to give up I fearful bludgeon with ‘which he paraded the streets, and to threat- en exposure if any accident. oc- curred."

Others seem to share this belief, judging by the fact that Japanese bonds are twice. or more, last sum- mer's value on the London Stock Exchange. The crux of the mat- ter is whether a treaty could be signed without Russia. Internally, the Japanese government has re- covered almost normal control.
