island was in 1930. Ten years later there were 52 Credit Unions operating with assets amounting

3600.000: this year there are 58 Credit Unions with assets of S1.250.000.

This tells the story of people who through their own efforts have devised a savings and cred- it service which has been able to make loans in the amount of 3.250.000 of which only .05 per cent has been considered oncol- lectlble. Credit Union members have eir own insurance company CUNA Mutual Insurance Society. There have been numerous in- stances where families of de- ceased members have benefited mm the plan. For example in a recent tragic death in the West. 81'" part of the Province last year the families of four men benefited to the extent that their loans were paid off and their savings covered dollar for dollar.

Final Sessions

omist. "People are poor because of human arrangements, not lack of resources." He recalled that many areas which had once been poverty-stricken were today pro- perous sections because of their regional action in developing re- sources.

REGIONAL PROGRESS

Speaking of the need for educa- tion in regional development he stated that if we keep to cer- tain widely held views of educa- tion there is no vital link between education and regional advance- ment and nothing much to discuss under this heading.

"This statement applies parti- cularly to the common idea that the schools should provide a few

n&ai-nentsls and not much else to times who are going to on our primary industries and do the hard work, this being all we can afford anyway and all they deserve and can absorb.

"It follows that the high schools and . universities, operating with scant reference to the economic, social and political environment. should offer a avenue of escape, a training for careerism, gener- ally elsewhere, They should be measured by their success in train- ing for export rather than by the value of their contributions to the lives of our citizens who per- petuate our communities and basic industries. he stated.

"Wearealongwayinthese Provinces from realizing in prin- ciple and in practice that our primary industries today require. and cannot" compete without, a working force who have bad a good high school education suited directly to their needs and who carry on adult study programs sustained by efficient adult ed- ucation services.

"Fortunately we have had and now have examples of the kind of education which is at the heart of the science of building com- monwesltbs. Education was at the base of the movement for re- sponsible government a century; ago. For over a quarter of a century the Antigonish movement had brought new hope. new vis- ion and practical results to large groups and areas.

"Agricultural extension has sup- plied vital weapons of skills and ideas to farm people and the or- ganized farm movement. The ac- tive concern of some rural-re- gional school principals and staff with the real life of their dis- tricts and the touch of inspiration with attention to enviroment which is given in one university-traim ing course are bringing some effec- tive results.

"Very important is the growing tendency of practical men fight- ing the cod fight in organizations of farm rs, fishermen, business, labor and economic co-operation to employ the means of adult ed- ucation for economic and social progress,” stated Mr. Henson,

FOUR POINT PROGRAMS

lie outlined all four point pro- gram for the improvement of

conditions in the Atlantic Region as follows: 1. Greater citizenship

understanding of regional resour-

cnrry ces. problems and opportunities

in relation to national develop- ments. "Nothing has paid high- er dividends .to these provinces than studies and investigations by Royal Commissions.

2. "Electric power -- it be-

comes cleaf that many things can be done if we have an abun- dance of cheap power and we will go on missing out on many big developments if we lack cheap power. "Those in adult education should help people understand the Job being uiidertaken by the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council nnd our government to find a. solu- tion to this problem. Surely it is Possible for the Atlantic Provin- ces region. belonging to 3 nation which is building the St. Law- rence Seaway proiecl in gel the cheap power it must have." he stated.

3. "Those 1)) adult education should follow closely the pattern of development being worked out by experts and people concerned with the development of forestry. agriculture,- fisheries. mining and heavy industries."

4. That plans of the Atlantic Regional Council, C.A.A.E., over the past two years to secure and publish authoritative material for citizenship groups should now be linked up with the efforts of the Aitllantic Provinces Economic Coun- c .

EDUCATIONAL SESSION

The educational session was presided over by Dr. Frank Mac- Kinnon, Principal of Prince of Wales College. Dr. MacKinnon

ated that an economic history of the Atlantic Provinces, especi- ally Prince Edward Island, was needed and he thought that the universities in the Marltimes should supply this information through extensive research work.

The work of the Canadian As- sociation for Adult Education was described by Dr. J. R. Kidd. Director of the Association.

The summary at the end of the conference was made by Dr. F. W. Walsh. Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Nova Scotia. He stated that a lot. had been learn- ed at the conference and the adult educators should be pre- pared to go out in a missiona ,

manner and do their work.
