“No change of any moment should be made in the curriculum or in our present system o! edu- cation without grave and mature consideration," Hon. M. R. Mc- Guigan, Minister oi Education, dc- clared, speaking before the Prince Ekiward Island teachers ln annual convention yesterday. He was not trying to suggest that no changes should be made, Hon, Mr. Gulgan pointed out.

Education was not the only field in which unrest. manifests itself, the Minister of Education said. “The economic system has its monetary difficulties and all 0f the old, established, and what we call democratic forms 0f sovemment. are under fire and openly attack- ed."

leges instead of helping to prepare our children for a. life on the farm are really educating them away from it. I think there is a great deal of truth in this charge but the school is not all to blame as the parents foster in their children the idea of leaving the farm and. ob- taining employment in other fields of endeavour which they deem to call more genteel and which they consider to be certainly more re- munerative.

“This policy was not so far wrong in the first quarter of the present century in as much as there were opportunities for young people in those days.

A New Attitude Necessary

"A new attitude should be taken on the part of all concerned both in the home and in the school re- garding the importance of the farm and farm life. The minds of our young peope should be filled with the idea that farming is the great- est of all professions. It should he impressed upon them from their earliest infancy that. they are ex- tremely fortunate in bzlng born on the farm instead of in the crowd- ed city. A love for their surround- ing-s. their life and their oppor- tunities should be impressed upon them. They should be taught that farming is an honorable profession and one in which they can use all their ingenuity.

“Another movement has been started in this province and can- not fall to improve the position of our agr-icultnrlsts. I refer to the Adult Education movement. This program is not directly controlled by the Education Department but is under the guidance of the Adult Education League. It is assistwl, however. by the Department of Ed- ucation and Agriculture.

Its inception here the speaker attributed to three main factors. (l) The establishment cf a Jbrary- system in the province by the Car- negie Corporatlon of America. (2) The wonderful success such a

First Reading Is Giv- en Bill To Ratify Revised Anglo-Can- adian Agreement.

(C.P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

O’I'I‘AWA, March zit-Details o! the new Canada-United Kingdom trade agreement were all approved in ‘the House of Commons today and first reading was given a. bill to ratify the pact which replaces the first five-year agreement made at the Ottawa imperial conference 0f 1932.

The agreement will come into force on a date agreed upon be- tween the two governments, Fin- ance Minister Charles Dunning told. the House. The tarlfi chan- ges in the agreement are already in effect, having become operative with the presentation of the bud- get. In completing its consideration of the treaty items the House dis- posed of the greater part of the budget resolutions. It then took up a. review of changes in the tar- ifI not involved in the treaty.

A flrm stand against sit-down strikes in Canada on the part of the Federal Government was ln- dicated by Justicc Minister La- pointc, in answering a question He said this forjmpf labor activity would be ‘illegal in Canada. and while the provincial governments were responsible for the adminis- tration of justice the Federal Government was prepared-to use its resources to the extent of its legal powers to prevent it from obtaining a foothold here.

In the treaty discussions Con- servatlves objected to Article l2 which deals with the dumping of Canadian goods on the British market. The Canadian Govern- ment undertakes to take adequate steps to correct a dumping situa- tion on complaint of the Brivlsh Government by permitting the clumping of a quantity of British goods on the Canadian market if necessary.

"I can not conceive of any gov- ernment agreeing to a proposition of that kind," declared Conservat- lve Loader Bennett.

If some Canadian manufacturer, faced with bankruptcy and not concerned about the effect of his action on industry and trade gen- erally, sold goods in Great Britain at less than a. fair price in Can- ada thc government agreed to correct the situation. That meant all other Canadian manufacturers might be penalized by the admis- sion of British goods into Canada
