The young people's Society of the Presbyterian Church. Monta- gue, held a social evening in the Manse on Wednesday. There were sixteen memberi present. The president. Mix Anne Mac- Eachern. presided, and also was converter of the entertainment committee. The devotional period was conducted by Richard Knox and Buddy Fraser. Lunch was served by the lady members.

Despite the increased efforts of the town of Montagueofficials. once again the Main Street was a flood of water during the recent thaw. Although a few drains had been opened. several others were still filled, and several manholes were frozen over, so that the _water spilled over onto the main road, rising to several inches at two particular points. one near the Bison Restaurant and H. L. MacGregor's, and the sec- ond on the level below MacDonald Avenue. Both approaches to the bridge were also a sea of water causing a great deal of inconven- ience to pedestrians when cars were passing. it is sincerely hoped that the situation will have been improved before the next heavy thaw takes place which may not be too far distant.

Supper was served between 5 and 8 o'clock. Mus Gertrude Power guessed the correct number of pieces in a box of fudge and was awarded the box of fudge. At 8 o'clock the People gathered up at the school where movies were put on by Bergman's. The movies dealt with the Cockahutt machinery. A cap- aclty crowd turned out to see this helpful movie.

Taking into consideration the experience of past years regard- ing the children coating on the Main Street in Montague, and the consequent danger to them owing to the traffic. a number of men proposed the construction of coast- ing hills. one on each side of the bridge. on land donated by Mr. Jack Annear. Mr. John Yorston, and Mr. Joseph Vuozzo. These coasting hills were built by ma- chinery donated by the Poole 8: Beer Construction Company, un. der the direction of Mr. Lorne Wiggintcn. During the winter the hills have been in c nstant use for Coufilni. skiing a tobogganin-g. thereby giving to the kids their first real place to enjoy themselves without having to endanger their life. and possibly that of others, on the Main Street. To those who have been instrumental in provid- mg these facilities, the thanks of pgrents and children‘ are extend- e .

"Federal aid for education is becomi an ' creaaingly live sub- ject in Canada. . -

Prime Minister St. Laurent and the Dominion Government are known to be consider}... possible federal contributions toward rais- ing the general level of education throughout Canada_

While no specific move is looked for at the coming session of Per- liament, some developments are possible when the Dominion-Pro vlncial conference on taxation and other problems is held next Sep- tember or October.

The latest uuozeltlon in that the Dominion should make a consider- able sum available to provincial government: by was’ 01 MI °d“°l' tion subsidy. This would be used for the providing of additional sal- ary for primary and secondary school teachers,

other suggested forms included the establishment of national scholarships for deserving Itu- dents: increased grants for the construction and eQ|llPm0M °t technical and vocational schools; and grants to universities for the expansion of existing facilities.

Prime Minister St. Laurent has made it clear that the D°m1"l°“ government’ has no Idea of Invad- lng exclusive provincial jurisdiction in the realm of education. At the recent Dominion-Provincial consti- tutional conference, there was com- plete agreement that educlllofl would be recognized as an "en- trenched" nubject, within provincial jurisdiction. .

Thus, whatever federal education aid may ultimately be dflcided upon, it, would be in the form of grants-in-aid without any Jurisdic- tional ‘atrinla attached.”

Mr. Abel Vineberg .9! the Mont- real Gazette, reporting the Confer- ence on January 14th. says that the decision that education will be kept a provincial matter makes it definite there will be no chlnae Of control, but this does not rule out

In comparing these figures ul- lowance should be made for the preponderance of urban schools in one province and the relative

abundance of one-room rural schools in another, the differences in length of training time and re- sultant quallflcatlons of teachers,

The Imperial Oll Llmitad Brent of 35.000 for bursaries for interprovlnclal exchange has again been renewed. The purpose of this grant is to encourage Teacher Ex- change as a method of promoting Canadian unity through acquaint- ing teachers with educational prac- tice: and economic arena in other parts of Canada.

federal interest. He concludes his article with the following signifi- ‘cant paragraph:

"Since the decision has been un- anlrnouliy taken that the provinces are to retain absolute control of education, it is figured that it should be possible for a gather- ing next fall to regard the sub- mission of the federation with calmness. There need be no fear of federal grants, made to the pro- vinces and distributed by the lat- ter, being of a nature to be the proverbial thin edge of the wedge}!

The Massey Commission can- tlnueg to be bombarded with de- mands for federal aid. Though the Commissioners disclaim any re- sponsibility for reporting on educa- tional finance, they have given those presenting the briefs a very courteous hearlng_ In this way the needs and proposals for meeting those needs are being aired before the public and reported by the press. Provincial teachers‘ orB&fl- izatlons in Quebec, New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotin and Prince Ed- ward Island have made strong pleas before the Commission for federal assistance to finance edu- cation. One of the strongest briefs in this connection came from the New Brunswick Department of Eduutlon when its representatives met the Commission in Fredericton on January 16th and 17th.

NEWEOUNDLAND TEACHERS

And what of teaching? Ah. there you haveltho worst paid. and the best rewarded of all thevooatlons. Dare not to enter it unless you love it. For the vast majority of men and women ithaa no promise of wealth or lame. but theynto whom it is dear for its own sake. are among the nobility of mankind. «

I sing the praise of the unknown teacher. Great generals win cun- paigns, but it is the unknown soldi- er who wins the war.

Famous educators plan new syste of pedlsofl. but it is the unknown teacher who delivos and guides the young. He lives in obs- curity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blore. no chariots wait. no golden decorations are decreed. He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty. he strives to con- quer the evii powers which are enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. I-lo qulokens the in- doient, encourages the eager. and steadies the unstable. He communi- cates his own joy in learning and shares with boys and girls the host treasures of h mind. He lights many candles ich, in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward.
