"B,are Knuckles"

'An old parliamentary tradition i; that a new member should be s:cn. and not heard, or, if heard, he must be careful to say nothing out cf the way or in the slightest de- greeoffensive to the ruling party. Another tradition equally well root- ed, is that the new member must be treated gently-as long, of course,

as he keeps a watch on his tongue. . It seems, however, that both traditions have been hit hard in the present session of the Canadian Par- liament. Speaking alternately in English and French, Mr. J. C. Van Ho 1' n e. Progressive - Conservative from New Brunswick, is said to have used ”bare knuckles" on the Gov- ernment in his first parliamentary - g. speech. and the Liberals. throwing off all restraint, are said to have re- ',, sponded with ”noisy interruptions”. Perhaps it is just as well that the break has come; and it is fitting lg. that it should have -been brought . . g. about by a man from the Maritimcs, ” an area which probably has done more than any other to make Con- federation work. without sharing V equally with other areas in its bene-

ment should be regarded as a "know- nothing"; this more or less general assumption probably is responsible for a good deal of the lassitude that characterizes the average parlia- mentary session; for, when a man is . , forced by convention to be silent..- or, at least, insipid in what he has . to say--at the beginning of his par- - ' , liamentary career. small wonder that he finds it easy to slip into slov- enly habits later on. In any event, a member is perhaps never more cap- able of making a useful l contribu- tion to a parliamentary debate than on the day he stood up for the first time. unspoiled by flattery and not yet disillusioned by the course of events. ':Nor was there ever any good reason for preferred treatment of the newcomer by his seasoned col- ldagucs. He. as they are, is supposed tp be ready for the rough and ' tumble of debate, else he would not. have offcrcd himself for election in the first. place; at least. that is a rcaisonable assumption. Mr. Van l-lodrnc has shown that at least one freshman can take good care of himself and sccs no reason why he should be ovcr-humble in the pro scncc of his pccrs. Perhaps others of his class, emboldened by his ex- ample, will come to the fore when- ever they fecl they have something worthwhile to contribute to the dis- cussion of the country's business. This. of course. is not the same thing at all as talking a lot without saying anything. - another hind- rancc to parliamentary u-r-fulncss.

The Teacher Problem

he i'.v,u'et that in pu.)lishing a rcccni report from the Provincial Home and School Association cxv ccutive, .an important word was omittcd from the statement that ”in rural districts on tho Island it was common practice for school boards to look for the cheapest teacher .,atlailablc - and consequently thc pqorest qualified." This should have d-"in some rural districts", etc

K eciion was promptly taken by a New Glasgow correspondent to the stitement as published. and we have been informed by the Association thjt no criticism was Intended with regard to the fine school conditions jfgere. nor indeed to sev- M-dlstrlcts which pride ” -"aupon their teaching

ers. in living. working conditions and adequate salaries, is suffering as a consequence. O t h e r w i s e t he teacher shortage problem would not be so acute. According to the report of the Department of Ed- ucation for the fiscal year ending March, 1954, 10.3 permit teachers were employed, representing an in- crease of 20 over the preceding year. The number of teachers hold- ing a first class license showed an increase of 3. while there were 4 fewer icachcrs in the third class. As noted previously in these col- umns. the problcm of qualified teacher supply is by no means con- fined to this Province. and every- where thc authorities are looking it uh concern to the future. Elemen- tary school enrollment in Canada is cxpcclcd to increase more than 15 pcr rent in the next five years; high

sclmol enrollment 60 per sent. The extent of the current natiohal teach- er sliortuge is unknown, but three )ll.ll'x' .l!.Itl it was estimated at nearly Thou. Ami there are approximately luooo 1.-ucliers whose training is be- lim mililmllm standards.

Provinces and municipalities are .trlxioq desperately to cope with this situation,-but it is getting quite beyond their financial means. Per- haps more can be done with greater support from the rural communities; but no real solution can be achiev- cd without Ottawa's participation. The Dominion Government could en- ter this field without fear of criti- cism and without infringement on Provincial rights. Eventually it will be forced to do so; but in the mean- time the smaller Provinces such as Prince Edward Island are suffering acutely, and the education of it whole generation of students is in jeopardy from the delay.

EDITORAL NOTES

The influence of Christianity in India is, apparently. much stronger than the relatively small number of its adherents would indicate. At any rate, a Roman Catholic priest. the Rev. Jerome D'Souza. is a member of Indials delegation to the United Nations.

Sir Seymour Hicks, the retiring Lord Mayor of London. England. after visiting Canada recently, said that Canada places too much cm- phas on young. immigrants. And here is his reason for this criticism. -"The kind of know-bow that gives pre-eminence to the specialized pro- ducts of an old and highly industrial- ized country like Great Britain is de- positcd not in the youth but in the 'old hands', the men who are pass- ing on the priceless fruits of a life- timc's experience to young hands just beginning to acquire the master touch."

Old And New Faces

WHY YOUR BABY (ERIE!

Don't worry about your walling infant. He won't. cry forever; It. only seems like forever.

Although most all newborn babies cry more than you think is necessary. they generally, will quiet down and become happier by the an of six to ten weeks. '

A very young baby must cry Nature gave him the power to wall for several reasons.

First of all. he must expand his lung: during the first few days of life. Then. too. crying in the baby's only means of communicating with you.

Of course he'll cry when he's hungry. Since he becomes hungry at irregular intervals. you shouldn't maintain a rigid feeding schedule. Reg:-Eation of a schedule on a four- hour basis usually isn't advisable until he's from six to ten weeks old. '

Even if you fed a crying infant every ten minutes, he still wouldiI' stop whimpering. If he's not hun- gry or wet. his cries probably mean

"Mother. I want to be held and loved and assured that you want me...

Along about lllc age of six or ten weeks. a babyls overall sched- iule. is better regulated.

He is able to see and hour with a little understanding. lie follows your movements with his eyes. He turns his head at a nearby noise. He becor- : more interested in his surroundings. Because there are things to keep him interested. he's happhr and loses much of his de- sire for crying.

About this time I think you'll be I bit happier. ton. Both you and the old man will act a nlulit's sleep without being awakened by the bawllm: of you know who. And those lnud sltricks won't summon you quite so often from your day- time chores.

So. new mothers. don't despair.

Things won't always be so hectic.
