Describes Nationol Gallery As "A Unique lnstitution"

The National Gallery It Ottawa is I unique institution in that it takes Irt to the people whenever It is consistent with the safety of the pieces, said Mr- Alan Jarvis Director of the National Gallery who was the guest speaker It the Canadian Club dinner in Charl- ottetown last night. He noted that no other national gallery makes I practice of displaying its master- pieces in other centres.

In introducing the speaker. Dr. Frank Maclfinnon noted that Mr. Jarvis has had a distinguished career not only in the field of Art but also in politics when for I time he served as Private Sec- retary to Sir Stafford Cripps.

The dinner was attended by His Honour Lieutenant Governor Prowse and Mrs. Prowse. Also seated at the head table were Dr. and Mrs. Frank MacKinnon. Mr.. and Mrs. T. W. Milton. Miss Eleanor Lowe. Mr- Bruce Hod- gins. Mrs. J. G. Twecdy.

Mr. Jarvis said that famous masterpieces are becoming scarc- er and scarcer since many Eur- opcim (Tnuntrics have made very strict laws regarding the export- ation of national paintings.

FORTUNATE TRANSACTION

He told howcvcr nf I fortunate transaction in which the Gallery was able to buy in twelve picture collection of L" chcnstcin paintings which be likened to I collection of crown jewels. Another trans- Iclion for four pictures costing 3850.000 was described by Mr. Jar- vis who expressed pleasure with the generosity of the Federal Gov- Irnment in making such pur- Ihases possible.

The Gallery director said there was In incredible boom in the interest of Art. Not only is this evident in the metropolitan Ireas

and the more established com- munities of Canada but such places as Kitlmat and Arvida are daily becoming more and more Art con- sclous.

CANADIAN ART

While it will be the policy of the gallery to be on the continual search for the great masterpieces he said. Canadian Art will not be neglected. In this connection. he noted that the staff of the Gallery makes it I point to visit every art exhibition in Canada each and they will enter any studio where the door is open.

The Director said that quite often the Gallery had been criti- cited for not purchasing more Canadian Art. "I am sure you would not want to think of us as buying some work just for the sake of spending moncy- We do not want to take the attitude that such and such I picture is good enough for I Canadian. The painting that we purchase must be judged on world standards". he said.

"We have I painting and draw- ing collection at Ottawa of which we should ve very proud . It has become I place of pilgrimage for students from In over the world" said Mr. Jarvis. -

CANADA COUNCIL

The Director spoke optimistic- ally of the birth of Canada Coun- cil and expressed pleasure that Dr. Frank Macl(innon was includ- ed as I member of the Council.

He spoke of the policy of Inter- national exchange of pieces and told of a contribution which Can- Ida made last year to the Am- sterdam Exhibition where the works of Rembrandt were fcatur- ed. "This exchange of master-

Been Corrected

OTTAWA (CP) - The RCAF'I air defence command is practic- ally back in full operation after rectification of I mechanical fault in some of its CF-100 jet fighters.

Training nights by the CF-100 Interceptors were ordered reduced to an absolute minimum some three weeks ago when some evi- dence turned up that there was control stiffness in the twin Jets under certain conditions.

The RCAF and Avro Aircraft Ltd.. manufacturer of the CF-100. went to work in I hurry to find out cause of the stiffness.

Officials said Tuesday that I small bushing in the tall assembly of some CF-100: was tightening up under certain flying conditions. making for control stiffness A bushing acts as I bed for I ball bearing.

Tall bushings were ordered changed and this Job has been all but completed on the nine CF-I00 fighter squadrons.

Officials said that there was no evidence of a tightened bushing causing any CF-100 crash.

The CF-100s were never gt unded during the search It! the mechanical trouble Ind II- scntlsl air defence operations were not affected.

These operations co mprlse mainly the identification of planes classed as "unknowns" when they enter the air defence IreI. They are usually so classed because they have strayed from their flight plan or never filed I flight plan before takeoff.

Delegates to the P.E.I. Teach- ers' Federation Convention were yesterday welcomed to the City by Mayor J.D. Stewart. D.S.0.. and briefly addressed by Dr. L. W. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Edu- cation. and Miss Wilson. Director of Public Health Nursing. Depart- ment of Health. The addresses fol- lowed the report of the President. Miss Mabel Matheson.

"You are all Issoclated in I great career in imparting know- ledge. which is the real goal or purpose in life," Mayor Stewart said, adding that he hoped the do- llberations tht uuiout the Conven- tion proved most fruitful.

Quoting from I recent article by James Muir. famous financial authority. the Mayor said that tea- chers do not share in the general prosperity. HI thought It 1. cent that Mr. Muir felt this he! of such slgnifance that he relegat- ed it only to the subject of III- flatlon. and later remarked that the duty of the citizen is to pro- vide adequato finances to get and maintain I competent staff. in or- der that the stand f In schools and colleges be maintained.

DR. SHAW

Dr. L.W. Shaw. stated that the Teachers' Summer School will be held again this summer. Those hIvlng completed Grade Eleven will be able to take courses in English. Geometry. Ind Chemistry, Ind probably French. A profess- ional course will also be given. be- ing open to teachers who have completed Grade Twelve or Grade Eleven with one year": ex- perionce.

Because of In exceptionally stormy winter. I umber of schools will have great difficulty in completing the prescribed 200- day academic year. Dr. Shaw said. He asked all teachers in such I situation to continue teaching to the last of June. In the event that it is impossible to complete the re- quired number of days. the Depart- ment of Education will consider the situation. he said.

EDUCATION REPORT

Regarding the briefs presented to the Select Standing Committee on Education, Dr. Shaw said "the greatest satisfaction I saw was the uniformity of points of agree-

ment." Ilemarking that all briefs Idvocated larger units of school administration. Dr. Shaw said that such I plan was formulated as Iearly as 1912. and has been dis- cussed constantly since then. "Af- ter a half century." he said "the time has come when we must do something about it." Regarding public opinion towards the larger Idminlstratlve unit, the Deputy Minister said that some persons would not be willing to send pupils to central facilities. "Out of six. four may go and one remain in each of Grades 9 and I0. and so the teache is forced to teach these grades." he said.

IEMOVE GRADES I AND to Another common feature of the ented briefs was that grades Ind 10. Ind possibly grade it.

ehir Iehoolsi "It is In impossible situation to teach high school and marking that central high schools Ind other grades." Dr. Shaw were suggested.

Most briefs urged that the qual- ifications of teachers be raised. with no briefs being against this recommendation. It had been sug-. gested that all teachers should have grade twelve. Dr. Shaw said summer schools and corres- pondence courses would probably meet this requirement.

"Teachers are not getting suf- ficient remunerstlon to attract the right people into the profession Ind hold them there for I long enough period." Dr. Shaw said. advising his audience not to shift to I new community if things are going rea- sonably well enough in their pre- sent school. A shift. he said. will weaken the teacher's position for It least half of the year. "Remain as long as you can in the profes- sion and where you now Ire." he said.

Concerning public opinion in re- lation to education. the speaker stated "I don't think we should consider our work done-if we do. it (Report of Select Committee! will just remain I report-we must must press hard. Thinking in terms

In the midst of the turbulent meeting. Interior Minister Said Mufti emerged from the confer- ence room and told reporters: "The cabinet has decided to re sign and Premier Khalidl will led the king to tender his resigna- lion."

This report was picked up by Cairo radio. Three and one-half hours after the report was flashed around the world. Khalidi emerged at 7:30 p.m. and denied the government had quit.
