tendance at summer school was larger than last year and said it was encouraging to see teach- ers improving their licenses.

Miss Anna Riley, Charlotte- town, general secretary of the P. E. 1. Teachers Federation, emphasized in her address, that the salary scale paid to the dis- tricts by the government is only 75 per cent of the full scale ac- cepted by the federation for tea- chers and that the district should pay the other 25 per cent,

Miss Riley also discussed brieﬂy the transfer of pension rights among the four Atlantic Provinces. As it stands now, she pointed out, a teacher who tea- ches 20 years in Nova Scotia and 20 years in P. E. I. does not qualify for a pension from ei- ther province.

In his report, the retiring pre- sident, Mr. Smith said he felt "we can look back on a year of progress in federation affairs. In addition to our fall and Eas- ter conventions we had two very successful teacher's workshops during the year. Also our long planned teachers magazine has now become a reality."

NEW SYSTEM

During his remarks on future trends in education, particular- ly in secondary education, Mr. Smith said “based on a long history of successful exper- ience in the United States, high school promotion by subjects or credits, rather than by averag- es is now being introduced in British Columbia and Alberta." He related one experiment in a Montreal high school where af- ter one year of employing the subject-promotion system, there has been a very significant im- provement in the general aca- demic level of achievement in the school.

He said similar programs of studies are being started in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and felt that P. E. I. should chart its course along these lines of experimentation. Mr. Smith con- tinued, “the lockstop" system of grade promotion is an archaid product of the 19th century gear- ed solely to meet university en- trance requirements.

Mr. Smith said the system of subject-promotion provides a sti- 0 go as st as he can and to the mediocre student to work a lot harder."
