(Continued) THE 1919 EDUCATION TAX

There is the fatal thing that 11-1‘- signed! Of course we signed it! Was it not true? We have no apology t0 make in that. connection. Two years latcrhtvhen thc Conservative Gov- ernment was appealing to the people; of this Provincc, (lid thc_v not en-l deaver to follow out that rccom-t mendatioti? Didn't. they endeavor to, show thc people that they’ were not| doing cnoiich for education wlicti they prepared a statute, which wcnt tiirouch this Legislature, asking that

the teachers? Now I want. to nsk the Minister of Agriculture what happened to that. Education Act; which the Arscnauit. Government] passed in an endeavor in make the, yicupic realize their responsibility antil duty towards the teachers? My hon.l friend knows very wcll what. hap- pcncti to it. It was knocked higher than a kite at the election of 19111. and, as a result. this Province was given the Bell Government. What u choicc! What a trade the pcnplc of this Province made when they swapped the Arsenault. educational policy for the Bell Government! The tircscnt Minister of Agriculture says: "It. was not much wonder it was licked because it ivasunfair; the Arsenault Government put. all the biirdcn of that education tax upon the farmers." You have heard the Afinisteifls argument on several oc- casions. Mr. Speaker,—that the farm- ers would pay the whole increase.

HON. MR. LEA: It 1s pretty hard

tCries of “oh! oh!"i

DR. MCMILLAN: The Act. is very

definite. It says that Charlottetown,

Siimmersldc and the other incorpor-

ated towns are not included. (Ap-

plause). They were not to share in the increase in taxation for educa- tion which tras to go to pay the country school teachers. It was rec- ognized that the teachers in the larger centres were much better paid in comparison with the others. That. was the reason for that provision 1n the Act, and my hon. friend knows it. But he always comes out with .his statement: “Oh, the farmers had to pay it, and the teachers of Siimmcrsldc and Charlottetown were going to share equally with the oth- crs. and it was altogether unfair on the country districts."

But. 1n that. glorious old Dis- trict of Fourth Prince, that "little Egypt" that has produced such won- derful men as the Minister of Agri- culture, where they pay one-fourth of the taxes-it seems, they vote wet and they also pay their taxes. My hon. friend is aware that I know something about the Fourth District too, because I happen to havmbcen born there, like himself. S0 there are two wonderful men who came out. of the Fourth District.

I have been a long time in this fight. for better salaries for school teachers. There was l Teachers‘ Federation in this Province nearly thirty years ago; and I sat in the chair as president of the teachers association, trying to have that Fed- eration formed. I can go back that far. The Minister of Agriculture says that for thirty-six years he supplied milk to one of the dairy associations in the Fourth District of Prince. I can say that I have been in this ed- ucation game, as teacher in some of

Fiat, River School, and other schools were cited as notable illustrations. We heard from many witnesses commendations of graded schools, and the hope was universally ex- pressed that more of these schools should be created."

the small schools of the Province, as president of the association which was the nucleus of the present-clay Teachers‘ Federation, as trustee on the school board in Charlottetown, and in other capacities; I know Just. how much entitled the teachers of this Province are to an increase. And when anyone says that 'I am trying to block an increase. that per- son has made a statement that. it. will take him some time to prove.

They gave 8100.000. l have always taken the attitude. Mr. speaker, that In living the money in the way they did ll. that time the Bell Govern. men did not materially assist edu- cation irrthia Province.
