EDUCATIONAL REFORM

Charlottetown. P. E, I.

Edltor Gun-chm,

51:: 2. TEACHERS‘ SALARIES AND TEACHER. TENURE

The Citizens’ Edmatlon Com- mittee has always supported the

Tleachers Flederntlon In Its aklta- m

tIon for larger salaries. We believe that It our children axe to receive the best results from their nuhllc school training the teachers must be encouraged to put forth their best eﬂorta and to do this they inuat. receive SUIIIOI€IIL remuneration to enable them m mm teaciuns their llfe work.

One of the armiments BRaInst fur- ther Increase by the Government Ls that It. already pays a. much higher percentage of teachers’ salaries than Is paid by other provincial govern- ments. However, as the other Inoes all have a form of m ctnnl government and control theIr fin- ances this argument Is valueless.

On the other hand. the cost of education per pupil Is much lower in P. E. I. than In the other prov- inces and the percentage of at- tendance Is also lower. Bvtdentlv we are not taking a serlmis vlew of 3w Importance of primary educa-

on. During the past year only those students who had completed ﬁrst year at Prince of Wales College or held a Grade XI certiﬁcate were ad- mitted to the class In Teacher ‘Pralnlniz. This raisin: of teaching standards calls for a corresponding increase in the salary schedule.

What has been done about It?

Al; the last session of the Prov- incial Leeislnture an Act to Amend the Public School Act’. was passed It provides for four new classes 0t license. superior ﬁrst class for males and females and superior second class for males and females. In each case the Increase in salary ls $50 oer annum, of which $25 Is paId from the Provincial Treasury and $25 by the district. In order to secure a lﬁﬂﬁller lwldlwl n superior ﬁrst clasii license the district must pay $125 supplement or $100 must be bald for a superior second class teacher.

is inusl: be borne In mind by the rate payers of rural schools at the annual meeting. If the district falls to vote the amount required the teacher does not receive the Iii- creaied salary from the govern- men .

Another reason for the voting ot an adequate supplement 1s the Im- portance of retaining a satlstac. wry teacher In a district. WIth the prevailing scarcity of teachers the best on . naturally. are IIOIIIR to ac. cept the best: salaries. ThIs Is where the lame!" Administrative Unit would prove of value. Rn- m: would be equalized. teachers placed in schools best suited to their quali- ﬂcatlons and all would have a. sense of security In their nostttlons.

In conclusion we wish no stress the Importance of s. full attendance at the annual school meetings and the voting of the stlbnlement re. quIred to secure the class of teach- er vou wlsh to engage.

We are.

._..<>.o.< '- ' CIQMQQQ»... Circular Reasoning

(Sydney Post-Record)

The Winnipeg Free Press, which Ia one of perhnm a half-dozen of the slmon urc Liberal newspapers still following the old party trails In 9 west, has this to say regarding Prime Minister King's extraordin-

any speech on the manpower bill:

Mr. Kinks statement that con- wrlptlm may never be necessary “"5118 110551118. I1. by a miracle, the war ended tomorrow conscription would not be necessary. If Germany were szirmshed before the end of this Year It. would be. perhaps. super- IIUOIIS. But, If we go on the only safe assumption-that. the war is lIkely still to last a very long time. conscription will oertalnly be need- ed. The word to emphasize In Mr. Kings sentence Is ‘may,’ and we can now surely take for granted that he means what he says. namely. that when the voluntary system falls. the Government will Impose the neces- nrv measures to keep our armed forces up to full strength."

This elaborate effort at fine-spun s Isl pleadtnz shows that where t ere Is a will there Ls always a way. It also shows what an Intolerable burden Mr. King's north-bv-north course on conscription has imposed on his journalistic friends. T e last sentence In the above-quoted extract contains a. perfect ex mple 9f the 1 cal fallacy knowiil as

begging t e question." Because Mr, King said conscription “may” never K160955811’. The Free Press ritz- Rests he thereby implies the con- trary posslbllztya-whlch is obvious HIOUBIL-bitrt It adds with reckless assurance: We can now surelv take for granted that he means what he says. namely. that when the vol- utarv system falls. the Government will impose the necessary measures keen our armed forces up to full strength."

That unfortunately Is not what MY- Kins "says? and therefore can hardly be what he "means." the one bclniz the Wlnntpeiz paper's invenmi assumption. the other its Inference based on that ﬁctitous premise. The EIIIIIB Minister has never saId his uovemment would Impose consmp. tion at any time. or under any clr- curmtances. At the start of the war. however. he said the onbosttie. and

he has never since unsald It.

The week-of June 29th to July 5th has been des. ignuted by the Government of Cunudu us “Army Week"—u week sot aside to enable the paoplg o; Cunodu to become better acquainted with, and to my tribute to Canada's Army.

AI’ no place in Cunudu should this opportunity b; more welcomed than in Charlottetown, the capital 11f Prince Edward Island, the province which has provid. ed more personnel for the Canadian Active Army, in proportion to its population, than any other province of the Dominion. '

I urgently request that during Army Week all available flags be flown, patriotic bunting be dsplayed and that all merchants with display windows urrcnge to have them appropriately decorated in honor of the Canadian Army, and of the many Illlndridl OI Chg:- lottetovvn citizens serving with it.
