A Major Function

one of the major functions of he p; centre would be to nake its facilities available to the .ntire Province by encouraging ilsitors. and by promoting lec- ures a-nd displays in the local ueas. particularly in the schools. it would cooperate with federal rgcnclcS in purchasing, exchang- lpg, lending and borrowing equip-

uent. 1n the latter connection the ‘grief notes that in the National Ari-hives a whole section is de- voted to the official documents ind correspondence of Prince Ed- ward Island. "This material," it “ye, "would becxtremely valu- iblc to local public officials and lTlSiOFlHDS if it were filmed or ghuiOfifaphEii and the resulting triplicates placed in Charlottetown. "The same can be said for paint- lngs in the National Gallery and displays in the National Museum. The originals or reproductions ‘ind their way to the Provincial ‘Jpllili or College from time to Allie‘. but a more frequent and wgular service should be a ma- or part of any plan for exipan- Hull in cultural activities." Resident»: Facilities Noting that Prince of Wales College is completely without re- idence facilities, the brief em- ihaisizes this lack as “the greatest rcakness" of the institution. "Stu- loiits from outside of Charlotte- town." it says, “must live with :elative_s or in rooming houses; some are well-housed. many are not. Consequently they do not get sufficient opportunity to mix with

fficir fellow outsiders in the classroom. "Moreover tho attractions of

15w College cannot bc made avail- able to students from other Pro- iinces because of inadequate hous- 41g, and Prince of Wales, tfierc- fore, isconipdscd wholly of l5- ‘antlers.

“While we appreciate the merits of our own native sons and daugh- 1e15, we feel that their college wpericnce would be enriched by - ztact with students from other LIFTS of Canada as well as by lLSDClLlliOH with one another. For his reason we are particularly anxious to secure residences for men and for women in the near future."

Cultural Subjects

While Prince of Wales ll well equipped with laboratories in thcmistry, physics. biology and

botany. and has been able to givc r< students an excellent prepara- l.\tll in those subjects, the cul- iiral subjects have suffered from Luis emphasis on the practical. Arts. music, and the drama have received little attention. largely bf-cause of lack of funds.

“We feel," the brief states, “that a greater emphasis on the arts would be a healthy contri- bution to those who continue their higher education elsewhere, and to those who leave to take "P occupations — particularly to ‘Qose who teach school.

Figures Cited

‘The result of the College fac- ilitics and local encouragement is revealed in the figures for the ihird and fourth ycars. Of our li4 university students 89 arc registered in sci nce. l0 in com- merce. and only 15 in arts. We feel that this situation is a sub- etdflliiil commendation of the excellent work clone by our sci- ence departments, but we are aware that the small attraction in arts has a most unhealthy effect on the educational and profes- $10113] life of the Province,

Relic 0f Famous Sailing Ship Lost in Montague Fire

An historic relic of other days- the flgureheod of the "Marco Polo." fastest sailing ship of her time. which was wrecked off Cav- endish in l883-was destroyed in the recent fire at Montague.

Reference to this matter was made yesterday by Premier Jones in his statements before the Royal Commission on Arts and Sciences. He said he had been informed that the relic was in the fire, but did not know whether it had been salvaged. A checkup by The Guardian last; evening revealed that it had been destroyed.

The fig-urehead, a full-length image of the famous explorer, Marco Polo, was attached to the east wall of the front office of the Marl-tfirne Electric Company 1n the Masonic building at Montague. It could not be reached by the fire fighters. ‘Made of wood. it burned very quickly.

The figure-head had been ac- quired at Stanley Bridge by Mr. R. K. Clements. Montague manager of the Maritime Electric. He had been keeping it until such time as a suitable place could be secured for a museum.

The bell of the "Marco Polo." which was at one time in the hands of an auctioneer in char- lottc-tovwn who rang it to attract customers. is now back in her home port of Saint John. N. B. It's the dinner bell at the Million- aires‘ Club.

dian life. rural as well as urban.

Urging the need for additional space and equipment as a result of overcrowding, the brief states that extra classrooms. common room facilities for students, lib- rary and reading rooms, and of- fice space for the faculty are in short supply.

Normal Training '

The training of teachers, it is emphasized, should be one of the most important activities in the field of education, and academic standards, equipment, research facilities, scholarships, endow- ments and public encouragement should be applied to this field in at least as great a measure as in science and industry.

“Many of the problems faced by the College are similar to those found elsewhere.“ the brief states. "but frequently they are overlooked because Prince of Wales is a iunior college without the prcs- iige associated with degree-grant- ing powers. Nevertheless we arc conscious of a great service which can be performed by junior col- leges in providing high school and university courses of a good academic calibre, effective train- ing for student teachers, and fac- ilities for vocational, extension, and adult-education work, and in cooperating with the universi- ties."

Full details are given of the instruction available at the Col- loge. A breakdown of the total enrollment of 588 is given as fol- lows:

Fourth Year: arts, 7; commerce 1; science, pro-medical, 17; agri- culture, 7; pro-engineering. 1; others, 8.

Third Year: arts, B; sciencc. 562 commerce, 9.

Government at the f‘ ' * ' hearing was Dr, L. W. Shaw, D9. puty Minister of Education. and Hon. Dr. Cyrus Macmillan.

One of our great deflciences is a sufficient number of teachers, both in music and in drama, to cover the whole Province," Dr. Shaw said.

Strvsiilll; the nccd of n public archives, he commended the efforts of the Women's Institute in this connection, and also the I.O.D.E. on their recent exhibition of historical articles,

I" Tfilily to questions, he said the people of the Island had nn dlmflllty ...ln marketing" their handicrafts. but instruction in this field of work ls also badly needed.

He dealt with various phases of the Government brief, particularly with regard to the work of the Vocational School.

Education Discussed

On behalf of Prince of Wales College, President Frank MacKin. non said he was more than ever convinced that the College can do on enormous work ln the field of extension activities. He suggested as an example the provision of seminar courses for civil servants iii the fundamental principles of government.

He stressed the need for his- torical research into many inter- esting phases of Islund history.

This year. he said, n course in political science has been added to the previous courses in cco- riomics uiid social science. Next year it’. is hoped to ndd a course nn psychology in teacher training. and perhaps a course in philo- svrhy.

The Commissioners showed par- ticulnr interest in what was be- ing done to teach Canadian his- tnryg

A considerable number of slu- dents, he explained, were par- tially supported by bursaries. These had been started originally by n rich Irishman for Irish stu- dents.

"The Scots didn't want to be outdone and they did the same thing," lie sold.

"An admirable form of competi- tion,“ Mr, Massey commented.

LL-Col. L. '1‘. Lowiher of the Adult Education Council, rep- resenting twelve cultural groups on the Island, said the prime need in the rural communities was leadership. Leaders were needed to give instruction in such things as music, drama and the runnihg of libraries. Rural people were m- tercsled in all those things but leadership was required to get the brill rolling.

On behalf of the drama. MP5- I-Inrold Laird nnd Mr. Gerald Fos- ter spoke on the need of compot- cnt instruction for the betterment of rural nnd urban itroups.

When questioned about the P. E. I. Libraries‘ brief, Mr. H. B. Chandler explained that the lib- raries are organized under a regional system, with 24 branch libraries and the library at the Prince of Wolf's College as the ccntrnl depot. The COTYIPIBlB 11b’ rary now consists of approximate- 1y 70,000 books. and the rural lib- raries are open from Giflht m twelve hours per week.

Speaking on behalf of the Na-

tional Film Board, Mr. Chandler also stated that it was his opin- ion that the rural groups prefer- red films which were not a1- together factual. The Board has at present five film councils in rural areas, and projection equip- merit has been supplied by the Provincial Government. Mr. Leo P, McIsaac, for the Federation of Agriculture, stated that at present there are about 130 listening groups who hear the weekly Farm Forum programmes. Mr, .7, S. tVilliams, on behalf of the Teachers Federation, read a brief advocating Federal aid for education. He was informed by Mr. Massey, however, that this subject did not come within the scope of their terms of refer- once.

Other Speakers

Comments on other parts of the composite brief submitted were heard from Mr. J’, E. Harris. Miss Frances E, Johnston. and Mrs. Mark Malone. The former undertook to file a brief on the subject of the Harris Memorial Gallery. _

A brief on behalf of

station was submitted by LL-Col. Keith S. Rogers, urizlniz that the $250 radio license fee be dropped and the Canadian Broadcaattnil Corporation supported “entirely and liberally" fro consolidated revenue. He comp ained that in Canada. there has been "an ob- vious nttflnpt by labor forces and farm organizations to get a larifi measure of control over the pro- paganda. medium of radio broad- castlus’

A brief was also filed by Mr. Thom" White on behalf of the P. E 1_ Innkeepers Association.

In speaking to the press at. the opening of the hearing Mr. Mu- aey voiced hla surprise at finding in briefs from both the East and m, w," conatgqi feeling of re- moteness from Ottawa orlflfllifl- tlons. I-Ie also stated that the "fl- phasls on science in reillfil t" farming and fishing was stressed far more in the East than in the West.

also that pamphlets about Cana- dian artists. particularly some written for children, be distribut- ed for use ln ahe schools. '

The collection of films and slides in the National Gallery could be enlarged and made more acces- sible, It was suggested.

Drama Directors

Due to the great need by drama groups of qualified directors, it was recommended that the Fitness Division of the Department of Health and Welfare employ an ad- ditional number of persons to work in the areas where lllCh help is needed.

“Those who attempt to define Canadian culture seem unable to discover a characteristic common to all our arts which would iden- tify them as being essentially Canadian," the brief states. To give direction to the development of a national arts festival and a national concept in the arts gen- erally, an Arts Board or Council is recommended.

Pointing out that the promotion and popularization of museum; in Canada is not practised as it should be, the brief suggests that in training museum workers the ability to make the museum ob- jects “live" for the museum vis- itor be kept in mind. Policies similar to those of the National Gallery whereby material with teaching dntc could be made avail- nble throughout the country. were proposed in connection with the National Museum,

“It is not generally known that a limited loan service does exist.” the brief adds. “But to have the museum become nationally effect- ive its services require to be greatly extended.

Archives Material

In order that Prince Edward Island material at present housed

nn5\v(=|'ed various quesflons with in the Public Archives at Ottawa [Qgnrd to me particular recom. be made available to the people mendniiuns in we Unlvgrgity of this Province. it was urged

that at least some of this ma- terial be placed in an archives

rolled to prevent an impending ln- MP0. _ crcnsc in fees, which in mm Public grunts, conditional on “mm; keep wmqh). Island Si... Provincial grants for the develop-

ment and support of public librar- ies, were recommended. It was noted in nus connection that at present the Prince Edward Island libraries function on approximate- ly n 40 cents per capita basis.

Fulltimo CBC artists who com- bine travelling with broadcasting was suggested. This would pro- vide communlties such as Char- lottetown with more than the pre- sent average of four or five livc concerts a year, and rural areas- which have no concert at all— with at least one now and again.

“Most of the criticism directed toward the CBC." the brief notes. “pertains to its policies rather than to its programs. The com- plaints seem to have come either from persons who don't listen to CBC programs and therefore con- demn the obligatory nuisance of having to purchase a radio lic- ense, or private broadcasting sta- tions whose complaints are large- ly based upon the feeling that they are being pushed around too much by policies set by the CBC." In this connection it was stated that Forum discussion groups can only progress and function properly through a national radio body,

An adequate National Film Board staff to help community film councils learn the techniques of using films effectively is recom- mended, also a national periodical or more frequent. information bul- letins for guidance to film coun- cils.

The brief submitted through the Adult; Education Council, whose chairman is Dr. L. W. Shaw, Dep- uty Minister of Agriculture, was on behalf of the following organ- izations: Charlottetown Llttle The- atre Guild, G.
