PRESENTING NEWS AND VIEWS OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS AND ALL OTHERS SEEKING

{i

This column is conducted by the Prince Edward ‘Island Teachers‘ Federation committee 1n charge: Ralph Macbean, Zllpha Llnklettier.

Millar MacFadyen. Dan MacDonald,

and Harold Lawton. We welcome

' contributions which should be addressed to H. Lawton. Charlottetown.

WHY A TEACHER.

From the time of the early

Guilds tradesmen, professional men, laborers, etc. have banded them- selves together, first, for mutual aid and protection, and, later, that they might by scientiﬁc research and spec1a1lzation,_be enabled to give increased service in their re- spective fields. , What are the threefold duties of teachers? 11) To train the minds of children and open up to them the field of knowledge and thus fix them for the business of mak- ing a living. (2) To safe uard the health and physical well- lng of those to whom we throw the torch. (3) Lastly, but most 1m- portant. of all to mould the char- acter and develop healthy s lrltual and moral values 1n the c lldreu which will enable them to be use- ful citizens.

Is it not desirable. then, and even necessary, that. those who are en- i aged in this most. complex and ‘mportant business of teaching should have a strong, live, and ac- tive union? The need for such ll clear evident in the light of l. recen pronouncement appearl in the Report of the Rowell-s rots Commission which stated "th etducaitcn should have to fight for 1 s i c."

In“ réltdtlllg tgver that minutes of mee rigs or e weny yean of our Teachers’ ggderatlou one l1 forcibly reminded of the part our Island teachers have always taken in promoting our educational 1n- tcresls. They have ever been in the forefront 1n bettering our educa- lticmii conditions, and have been largely responsible for any im- jprovements we as teachers today

enjoy.

Our- educational officials have nothing but. the highest praise for the Teachers’ Federation. In fact our Su ervisors have repeatedly ex- ,presse themselves as esiring that ‘every teacher belong to the Fed- eratlon.

what are the chief functions of the Teachers’ Federation? (1) T0 work unceaslngly to make the Ibusiness of teaching a profession. ‘with a living wage and a. reason- able degree of security for beach- _ers. Teaching is not. a profession |in our Province; the average wage paid our rural teachers for a year's work would not buy three month's iservlce of an uns llled carpenter |ln building mi airport: by no stretch of the imagination can we picture a young man or woman entering la position with less chance for ‘promotion than 1n our teaching service. This is ve unfortunate for those who find aching their vocation. But they are not the ones who suffer the most. have adopted teaching of their free will, and. when they come to the time of life when young men and young women normally settle down and make a home for them- selves. they are free to leave the fEllClllflg service and seek cthm- |nusitions offering a decent living iwage and opportunities for promo- tion with increased pay as their ‘liabilities increase. At that they have not wasted their time, for the training they receive in teaching will be of lncalculitble benefit to them in whatever line of wor they may later find themselves. The cues who stiffer most from our prc-

S’ FEDERATION ?

of hlr and placing teachers are the pup . They are at the mercy of t e system and have no choice in the matter. Can we hope to make teaching a profession 1n this Province when the average salary ald our rural one-room teacher is 465? Its preposterous!

(2) To seek in every way oss- fble to increase the services o the teachers to the people. This can be done by advocating Summer school Courses, home study and gttiendanlze at study Clutb ngeeglngs;

y supp 1 answers o r0 ems and MEISBPIIS which will aid the teachers in their work 1n the class-room; by holding regular meetings of an enlightening and educational nature wilch wll ive teachers a. reater interest in tieir work. In a1 of these our Federa- tion la very active. But, as a large percentage of our teachers teach only for two or three years the re- sults are not so great. as would be desired. The degree of success or failure in res cct to the above bears c direct. rato with the degree of permanence in the teaching body.

To n. constant check on educational renda and develop-

at, ments 1n other places with a view

to llnllprovlng our own system of education. This is of the im- portcnt duties of a teachers’ fed- Our Federation is a art of a larger federation - the an- adlan Teachers’ ls in tum affiliated with a World Federation of ‘Teachers. So we are in constant touch with educational rovemcnts the world over. It is he work of the Federation to study all phases of educational activity 1n other places, and, 1f we find any educational improvements else- where which would benefit our sstem, be ap licable to our condi- tIons and wl in the means of our people, we should bring them before the ubllc and the proper authorities at. they may apply em to our needs without delay. Individuals would not have much force in matters of this kind, but. a federation of teachers can speak with a loud voice, and, from its nature, an authorative voice which should be heard and heeded. What. shouldbe the relations of the individual teacher to the Fed- eration? If the Federation is a good thing, and emphatically 1t is. then 1t would follow that 1t is the duty of every teacher (it To join the Federation and contribute to its su rt. Every organization must have monev to carry on its work. (2) To attend all meetings and take an active part in the pro- ceedings. ‘Flats not only makes for an interesting and worth-while meeting but also gives the Super- intendent. and Supervisors an ex- cellent opportunity to present ma- terial, give information, nr make announcements, as well as giving the heads of the organization a chance to inform all teachers of the part. they are expected to take in plans which they have decided for the filturc.

COMMON ERRORS IN AVOID

Leave, should not be used _ln place of let. Wrong: “Leave him alone" (if the meaning is "Don't bother h1m")' " v6 Mm d0 8-! he likes". Right: "Let him alone“ "Let. him do as he likes." Do not confuse leave with the old and now little used lief. Wrong: "She'd as leave snub me as not." Right: "She'd as lief snub me as not."

Lend and lcun become undesir- ably confused. Properly, lend is the verb and loan ls a. noun. It 1s common to speak of a. bank as loaning money, but. it 1s better to say that. the bank lends money. Correct: “I asked the bank for a loan and the bank lent me what I

asked to borrow my car, so I len it to him for an hour.”

Liable and likely are sometimes

In likely there ls an in- definite and not necessarily un- leasant, idea of probability. But

n liable there is more than prob- abllity-t.here is the sense of some- thing impending, something dan- gerous or uni leasant. Carclels: "The sun ls liabe to come out any moment”; “Children playi in the street are llkelyhw be njured". Marc Exact: " c sun 1c likely to come cut any moment"; “Children

l 1n the street are liable to

Like should not be used ln

lace of as or as if. wrong: "Ho ooked like he'd gladly kill me”. "If you felt like I do. you'd under- stand." Right: "He looked cc if l1e'd gladly klll me.” “If you felt as I do, you'd understand. Like ls correctly used ln comparisons of objects or persona. Correct: “My sister looks very much like me’. "This tic is exactly like the one I received for Christmas."
