Mr. Clarence Mercer, school su- pervisor. gave a talk on hi; 1-,. cent trip to Edmonton. Alberta. where he attended a convention of supervisors from all across Can- ada. The speaker said he was impressed with the fact that ”bo- cause we have ten types of educa- tion in Canada instead of one. the delegates to the conference seem-'
ed all to speak a different lan- guage. He said he thought I was important "that we have com- mon goals In education. inmoa textbooks and a system that would apply to au parts of Canada-" At the meeting they discussed the public relations program in education. the selling of the edu- cation product to the people and also finding out what the people wanted. Mr. Mercer said the larg- er unit of administration was dis- cussed. and that this project wag used in all provinces except New- foundland and Prince Edward Is- Iand. The church system would in- terfere with such a system in New- foundland. but he couldn't see why it would not be easier to make ef- fective here on the Island than in the Western Provinces because of the closeness of school districts. The speaker felt that although the system has been discussed for some years here. it seemed that dynamic leadership was lack- ing to bring it into effect. The large crowd In attendance looked at very lntarestlng dlsplaya from the art, commercial, lioma economic. ' and industrial arts departments before the meet- ing was called to order. Mr. Chiasaon's music classes from Grade IV sang 'folk songs gt intervals during the program.
