SUCCESSFUL PICNl%The Hampshire Sunday School plcnlor on July 0th, was greatly enjoyed by all present and resulted in net pro- ceeds of $102.58, afier bills had been paid. The committee in charge wish to thank those who so willingly as- sisted in many ways both by word and deeds to make this picnic the banner picnic of the season, with time, labour and cream. They are also very much indebted to the ladies who attended the tea tables and many complimentary remarks were made by strangers as to the ability of the ladies as waitresses. Also their tea tables were highly spoken of and many a young man from a neighbor- ing settlement was heard to remark the man who gets a wife in Hamp- shfre need never worry for fear of stomach trouble. Those who attended the refreshment booths are deserv- ing of much credit. The baseball teams of North Wfltshire and North River also come in for thanks for the way they handled their respec- tive teams. The amount o; $102.68 speaks for itself and the success of Hampshire picnic. ‘

FIRST SESSION

places. but it has been opposed. it fa believed, largely through local preju- dice. i

Dr. McMillan: "In looking over the reports I find that r commendatlons have been made along these lines. Apparently they have not been car- ried out?”

Mr. Bradley: "No. They have not been acted upon.”

Dr. McMillan: "Do you 11nd that efficiency in schools with less than 12 pupils is what it should be?"

Mr. Bradley: "No. There is less competition pnd therefore less en- thusiasm. Good teachers will avoid- small schools where there is no scope for their ability."

Dr. McMillan: “And the salaries in the small schools are smaller than elsewhere?"

Mr. Bradley: “Generally?

Dr. McMillan: "So that higher salaries and efficiency generally go together?"

Mr. Bradley: “Yes? /

Salarlel

The question of salaries at this point was touched upon.

Mr. Bradley read from a section of the School Act regarding the reduc- tion of the salary in the case of schools where the attendance is less than 15.

Mr. MaicLeod: “Is that 1n force?"

Mr. Bradley: "No. It ls a dead let- ter. The Bell Government. in 1920 1n- creased the scale of salaries. There were two attempts to raise the salar- ies in 10 years.

Licenses .

“We may go to places where lic- ensesare granted under irregular circumstances, that is, not in accord-- once with the provisions of the Act," said Dr.’ McMillan.

Mr. Bradley testfflcd that at times when a person was not old enough, provincial licenses to teach have been granted. In some cases, he contin- ued, dlstricts prefer to pay small sal- aries and gct poor teachers.

"If such a condition became wide- spread," said Dr. McMillan, "the sys- tem would soon be chaotic. Does it ever happen that a. person with in- adequate training gets a license?"

“Not of recent years," replied Mr. Bradley.

"It seems to me a bad method,“

saidDr. Mcliflllant'"'lt putsla prem- ium on lack of training and reluct- ance to pay." Mr. Bradley, continuing, stated that licenses are sometimes granted to persons coming from Nova Scotia with more normal education, though this ls not conforming to the Act. In answer to Mr. McLeods request to enumerate the general procedure for granting licenses, he said that the only regular method of obtaining one since the special license exams. have been done away with, is to attend Prince of wales College, unless the applicant has a B.A. degree from a university. Others are considered on their merits. The standard for a lic- ense is lower than that for n. College Certificate arid the same course must be passed.

Mr. McLeod: “Suppose a second- class teacher wants a. first-class lic- ense, what would you say?"

Mr. Bradley: "We would tell him to go to Prince oLWales or to study up ten or twelve subjects in three or four years."

Dr. McMillan: "Suppose n. boy goes to a university for two or three years without getting a degree?"

Mr. Bradley: "He would not be ell- gible."

Mr. McLeod: "Do you know of any case in which promotion has been made without examination?"

Mr. Bradley: "I cant say 1 do."

Dr. McMillan: “Suppose a ‘- class teacher in the City Schools is considered by the Department to be very competent and entitled to a higher salary, would it be possible ‘to give him more pay without a first- clasa license?" t

1!; Bradley: "Ne."

At this stage, Mr. Mclnnls drew attention to school districts which are unwilling to board a teacher for the amount he or she is willing to pay.

School Properties

Dr. McMillan: "Has the Deput- ment any definite control of school properties?" ' '

Mr. Bradley: "The district mull. keep the school in good repair. An inspector may condemn a schoolswo lack on Prince Edward Island what is called a standard of equipment. Of late years there has been s consid- erable trend towards improvement. due largely to the Women's Instit- utes. The condition of school gu- dens and properties generally reflect this efflciency.”

The Department of Education, Mr. Bradley said, has nothing directly to do with the entrance examinations to Prince of Wales College. They are set by an eXamining board under

ent of Education and of the Princi- pal, as regulated by the Act.

Dr. McMillan: "It is suggested that there is a large number of failures' out of proportion to the number writing?"

Mr. Bradley replied that there is an average failure list of about 60%.

“What can you do for the b0)’ Wh° has failed and wants to go on, who doesn't want to stay on the farm or go into business?" asked Dr. McMil—‘ lan.

"There is no provision," said Mr. Bradley.

Age Limit

Mr. McLeod: “The age limit. for school attendance is six 0o fifteen years inclusive. Is that too early?"

Mr. Bradley: "It would seem rath- er young with long distances to go and in the inclement seasons.

At this point two questions were commented upon by Dr. McMillan. The Department is going outside the Act in granting licenses. Why should not the age requirement be enforced as well as the academic? Again, since 1898, the school population has declined by 0,000, while the school departments have increased. Why ls this so?

“Excluding Charlottetown and Sum- merside," continued Dr. McMillan, "theyamount expended on education by the school districts is only 35% of the total, whlle'l'n' these twomunlci- polities the proportion is 55%. On what basis is the money raised in the rural areas?"

“The trustees have an messment roll,” replied Mr. Bradley. “They can change the valuation of land and levy poll taxes on householders."

"Has the Board ever considered larger school districts," asked Dr. McMillan.

"In 1021 there wasa recommendat- ion to that effect in the report," replied Mr. Bradley, “but nothing came of it. There are about 60 departments in each Inspectorate," he writinued in reply to a further question. “They are arranged on a basis of distances and intensity of school populations.

School Attendance

Mr. Mclnnls here introduced the problem of keeping the children in school. when certain seasonal occu- pations, such as berry-picking inter- fere with their attendance. When this occurs the government grant to the teacher is cut down as the Act specifies that when there is an aver- age attendance of less than 60%, de- ductions shall be made in salaries. This condition. he said, is more us- ual 1n the fishing sections. Determined opposition to the clos- ing of small schools and consolida- tion was again discussed towards the close of the session. It was observed that candidates for the Legislative 589011151? Previous to election fre- quently promise to see that the small schools continue to function.

"B0 10m; as the BOAId of Education In WWW-Nd as it. u now," said m. McMillan in commenting on the sit. uation, "this condition will continue to exist."

Prvdiral-"Futher. I've a notion to settle down and go in for raising chickens."
