Christmas is essentially a {east of the family. The tradi- [jonul celebrations associated with this most joyous of feasts are, for the most pert, family festivities. The reunion with visiting relatives, the gift- betiecked tree, the ancient rite of turkey-ami-plum-pudding din- nm the family cztvalcade to ¢hurch~all these are family Bcgivitles and it ls within the orbit of the family circle that all that is finest in the tradition of Christmas is expressed.

The atmosphere of family happiness at this season is heart- warming to a life assurance re-

esentatlve. As he goes about his daily round seeing happy fgnill}! groups full of tho joy of Christniustlde, the knowledge that his services are safeguard- mg the welfare of such families gives him a very special reason for enjoying n. very merry (jiristmas.

Teachers’ Salaries Problem Emphasized By llr. Althouse

‘Ibachers’ salaries throughout Canada have not kept pace with

"the increased cost of living, Dr..

J.G. Althouse, Toronto, president 0f the Canadian Education Assoc- iation, told The Guardian last night.

Dr. Althouse, who arrived in the City early yesterday afternoon ec- comipa-nled by Mil‘. PK. Stewart. secretary of the Association, said the serious shortage of corrupetent teachers was one of the problems now receiving a lot. of attention from his Association. The low sal- aries received by teachers, com- pared with those paid to young

men and women engaged in other

occupations requiring no more and often less training than that possessed by teachers was. of course, one of the more serious handicaps experienced by educa- tional authorities seeking to se- cure more teachers.

The Canadian Education Assoc- latlon, Dr. Althouse said, is more or less of a clearing station for the provincial teachers’ associa- tions and departments of educa- tion. The Association has no auth- ority to tell any provincial depart-

ment of education what to do since

education is a matter controlled by the Provinces. It does, how- ever, Dr. Althouse said, pass on information to the various teach- ers’ federations and provincial de- partments of education which it, as e central body, receives from time to time.

Dr. Althouse said the Associa- tion has been carrying on an ex- haustive study 0d school health, a study which is throwing much light on one of the major reasons for 5000i absenteeism.

Yesterday nftmuioon, he 1nd Mr. Stewart, called upon Dr. GD. Steel, principal or Prince of Wales College, and Nlr. Malcolm Mac- Kenzle, chief supervisor of schools in the Province.

Dr. Althouse said he regretted to learn lhnt Dr. L.W. Shaw, dir- ector of education for the Prov- ince, has been confined to his home for the past two or three days, as he was one of the edu- cationullsts in the Province ovhoin he was most anxious to see.
