Teachers Executive Anti Salary committee Hoiiijloint Meeting

At a meeting in the Teachers' Federation Office on January 6. the Island Teachers' Federation executive sanctioned a plan of the salary committee to meet the Gov- ernment regarding teachers sal- aries. The general feeling of the meeting was that the initial salar- ies are reasonably satisfactory. but since so many teachers are yearly leaving the profession. something should be done to remedy this weakness and thereby hold the teacher in his p.ofession. A scale of yearly increments. it is felt. if suf- ficiently attractive, will hold the teacher in his profession, thus remedying to a large extent the perennial shortage of teachers.

Meeting also with the executive of the city teachers. the provincial executive discussed plans for the pending C. T. F. conference in Oharlottetown next August.

At some length the meeting.con- sidered plans for the most ap- propriate checking of teachers at Easter convention. It. may be re- called that following our last con- vention. the Department of Edu- cation expressed its deep concern over the attendance report. It is hoped that this year the Depart- ment because of its interest in the teaching profession will have all concern over attendance removed.

The general secretary gave a comprehensive report of the plans of the Education Week committee. as elsewhere reported in the press.

The Island teacher-s' general secretary and their representative on the C. 'I'.. F. directorate were given instructions by their exc- cutive as to information desired and programme agenda for a Nat- icnai conference of general secret- aries in Toronto and a dlrectors' meellmz in Ottawa early in the new year.

At their next meeting the middle of February the executive will fin- alize plans for the teachers' East- er conventlon in March. '

All members of the executive were present. with Miss Mabel O'- Brien of Moi-ell in the chair.

P.E.I.' Hospitals On Approved list

The list of 3.200 hospitals in the United States. Canada and other soiintrics approved at the end of i950 by the American College of Surgeons includes four hospitals in this Province.

The approved hospitals. which must have 25 beds and over, are divided "into two classifications- fullly approved and provisionally approved. The Prince Edward Island Hospital with 200 -beds and 35 basslne-is, the Charlottetown Hospital with 100 beds and I7 bas- sincis. the Provincial Sansiorium with 140 beds. and the Prince County Hospital at Summerside with 73 beds and 10 bassineis are among those fully approved,

The P. E. I.. Charlottetown. and Prince County Hospitals are all approved for graduate training in surgery and yor a surgical specialty by the American College of Sur- goons. '

The announcement which is made by Dr. Paul R. l-Iaiwlevy, Di- rector of the American College of Surgeons. shows that six more hospitals appear on the list than in 1049. .

Since its inauguration o the program in 1910. the College has Cxlplnlded more than 32,000,000 in the improvement of patient care .in the hospitals of the United States and Canada. A series of conic ences Ls being held with the Arm lean Medical Association. the American College of Physicians and the American Hospital As- sociation in the hope that a co- ordinated program may be de- veloped.

The regents have every inten- tion of'continuing the Hospital Standardization Program upon an expanded scale and even with deficit financing until a 'solution is found which is agreeable to the majority of the profession. and which is. above all. in the best interests of the public.

Describes life As Missionary In lied China

The work of the Maryknoli Mlll10lllIl'y Sisters and other Chrlsllanlzlns orders and social- les in China was graphically de- scribed last night. to a very large gatherlnz of people in the Holy Name Hall by Sister Mary--dc Riccl. a Msryknoil Sister home on a leave of absence after twenty three years in Hong Kong. She was formerly Miss Mary Cain. a sister of Mr. James Cain of New Perth.

Back from a country torn by years of war and strife and now under Communist rulership. Sis- ter de Rlccl recounted the works of conversion being performed and the determination of the missionary workers to carry on despite the ever increasing re- atrictloni of the Reds.

Sister tie Rlcci left Hong Kong in July at which time the Mis- sionary sisters received letters after they were censored by the Communists. Nevertheless the Sis- ters were able to carry on their work in a cheerful and hopeful

manner. she said. "Since that time more and more obstructions have been

placed in the way of the sisters," she continued. "The week before Christmas two Maryknoll sisters were imprisoned and the Com- munlsts had threatened to be- liead one sister and also a Cath- olic bishop.

"The latest rule of the Com- munists is that no one can so out and preach the doctrine. The people may come to the mission- ary quarters and receive instruc- tion if they wish." she stated.

Sister de Rlccl pointed how much it meant to the Christians to have the sisters with them during these perilous times. She stated that there were many Communists in Hang

out

K ng but they did not interfere wl h their work. I "The Chinese appreciate holi-

ness and charity among the mis- sionaries. They expect you to live by what you preach and if you do the converts become ardent Cliristians." she stated.

. Many Conversions

educated I d tilt Chinese were being converted." she continued. "They understand the situation in the cast now and know that Communism is the enemy of the Catholic religion.

"A number of the younger Chinese become Christians in order to receive material aid. while the others loin the church because they know it is" the means of salvation." she stated.

She rccounicd several personal experlencpg of converting whole Chinese families as well as con- verting university -teachers and the some of the very poor In Hong Kong.

She explained in detail ilhc order of the Maryknoii Mission- ary Slstcrs and told of the areas in which they worked. These areas included Ceylon. Japan. Manchurla. Korea, Hawaii. the Philippines. Bolivia, Chile. Pan- nama and Africa.

A vote of thanks was tendered sister do Riccl by Mr.g Ivan Dow- ling and seconded by Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllsn. The talk was ar- ranged by the Basilica and Holy Redeemer Youth Clubs.

Today Sister de Rlcci is to speak to the Sisters and nurses at the Charlottetown Hospital- Tuesdsy morning she will speak to St. Josephis Convent school and in the evening. to Note Dame Academy. Students of Prince.of Wales College will attend lnls talk.

On Wednesday and Thursday she is scheduled to appear at Mount St. Mary's. the Orphan- age. St. Dunstan's University and fhg Precious Blood Monaste1'.V- Other talks at Kinkora and Sum- mcrslde are dependent on weather conditions. Later. it roads are open. the may IPMK ll 5i- "3"" cl; Xavier's University. Antigon- ish and at Mt. St. Vincent, Hali- fax.
