DEPLORABLE SITUATION

Sir. - During the past fcii weeks milcli has liccil 1-alfl iii (It'll!- rism of the system nt crfucntion on P.El hut practically nomlng rou- struciire has been done to Improve the educational prozralllme. As it result ii deplorable state of affairs now exists.

What at prcsent is being done to rectify matters? In our humble opinion the answer is-- nothing! We feel. as do many ntbcr teachers. that a atcp was taken in the right direction when several interested and influential organi- rations of the province requested that a Royal Commission on Edu- cation he set up by the govern- ment. But this has bccn rejected by the Premier who stated that "we. would very likely not appoint a Royal Commission at this time." What we would like to know is. when will the Honourable Premier consider the time ripe for slit-ll action? His rllicf argument against a Royal Commission was the feeble statement. that the group rc- questing the Commission had "di- vergent ideas" as to Whlll was wanted. Divergent idcas are all that could be EXDPPINI as evcrv phase of our edllrzitional pro- gramme rcriiiircs revision. some expressed the need for reclassifi- cation of teachers. ntllera werc strong In demands for new salary scales for tcachcrs. while still others felt that a revision in the

reachcr training programme is needed. Lelia face the facts; all thew

require detailed gtiidy and im- provement.

THE TEACHER QUESTION

SIT. I would like through your rourtesy to use a column in your paper to ask the young men and women of this Province A almnlr question.

Are you carccr i-uiisi-mus" If all. give careful consideration to the teaching profession tin I".F..l.

Qualifications required: No rig-I

lllficallce attached. Fail subiects in Grade. XI if you wish. you're needed anyway. Maturity and ex- perieiice. largely disregarded. Com- pared with the rigid scrutiny given by univer.s.iIies. hanks. civil ser- vice. industry and armed forces. admittance is a farce as no recom- mendation of any sort iii asked.

Working conditions: Cnngcnial environment as cvidcnccd by tli :- majorlty of schools which are drab. dirty and drafty. Disregard the indirect lighting. mahogany tables. polished tiled floors and general luxiirinus surrounding of llI'hMl offices and places of work Private life. closely observed and widely discussed. Short hours -why give extra exercise: and tests or make out. leiiiion plans?

Professional advancements: En- tirely up to you. Make ll change each year. Don't be responsible for your inadequacies by signing on to second year in the same school. Oh. yes! There are five 850.00 in- crements over a fifteen year period. Aftcr all. you probably mature some in that time. Don't be frmplcd by the generous bene- fits and guaranteed yearl incre- ments offered in page aft..r page of ads in all leading Canadian newiipaperil.

Salary: Li-1': make ii couple of comparisons. Aiik the airport tea- chers to compare their present salaries in what thcy previously made in Provlcfal Schools. It is liafc to say almost twice all much. Yet what did they do to deserve it other than change employers?
