On motion of Hon. Mr. McGulgan the House resumed committee read- ing, with Mr. Baker in lite chair. of the bill to amend the Public
Schools Act. Tlic text of the section dealing wit‘ cliers‘ salary increases ap-
ixiired. ill vcstcrdzivs Guardian. An amendment moved by Premier Campbell provided for ilie following minimum salary payments to high school teachers:
In Grade ll schools, $1.000. of which amount S1100 shall be paid by the proviii irczisuiy, the balance by i120 dislllft;

In addition to the statutory salary. the provincial treasury to oav an zllllOlllll, equal to twice the amount paid by any district over and above Llli‘. amount required to be raised and paid under the foregoing sec- biOnS
Premier's Objections
Premier Campbell said a bargain was allcutd to have been made with the Siimiiiersidc higii school trus- tees by Llic present leader of the 0p- pcsition when he was Minister of Education. providing for the full payment of high school teachers’ salaries bv the provincial treasury. This. lie maintained. was juluffable only as an experiment. ‘The Public Schools Act sets forth me propor- tion of teachers’ remuneration 1o be paid by the Government on the one part, and the school board on the Qthenlt does not make any cial provision in the case of high sc ools. When the experimental stages cf tlic siuiiincrside undertaking were passed. and certainly when the ar- rangement became one which would affect applications for other institu- tions. some action should have been taken. Either the Government should shoulder the whole responsi- ..ilit_v for payment of teachers’ sal- aries. or some definitely specific ra- tio for sharing the burden should be laid down _
To the first alternative. the Pre- mier continued, there were three objections. The primary res nsibil- itv of the Government is o foster primary education rather than iii school training. It is an advantage i0 the district iianlf if it is called upon to pay a modest. portion of ex- penses. Thirdiy. unless the school districts are called upon to share some degree of the expense of teachers’ salaries. localities will make demand for such services in an indiscriminate manner.
It had been suggested that County academies could be established in King's and Prince Counties. ‘Iihe difficulty. said Premier Campbell. is that oven in Prince County. and to a still lesser degree in King's. it would not appear possible to estab- lish a high school which would serve the whole Couritv- Suinmerside high school. he maintained. cannot be re arded as performing that iunct on.
The Premier maintained that the bill. even in its original form. did not create any undue burden on the local centres, and the amendment he DFODCsEd vvcud relieve them t0 a still gieater extent.
He regrtted that the provision for salary increases to the leaching ro- fession was not more adequate. he difficulty. he said. is due to the fact that with our small population we have such an excessive number of siiiall schools. added to the compar- atively low per copita. incomes of our rural residents. .
Dr. lifaclviiiliin’; Amendment
Hon. Dr. MncMlllan. leader of the Opposition. moved an amendment to the Premiers amendment. which would provide for the full payment by the provincial treasury of tho salaries of teazlicrs employed in Grades 11 and i2 schools.
Premier Campbell said he had found reicrrnce in the minutes of the Board of Education to the ar- rangement with the Summersldo H School. The minuta real: "Agreed that the Minister of Edu- cation and the Superintendent con- fer with Summerside representatives of the School Board with a view of sizirting the work oi Grade 11 to- wards which ihc Board of Education might pay $1200 to the salariy of an extra teacher. the success o which would determine the advisability of
undertaking the work of Grade 12." .
Dr. MacMlllan pointed out that the money voted in the Estimates year aitcr pear was all the authority rcqiiircd for continuing the arrim '-
mcnt.
Mr. J. Walter Jones said the di- fect of the Oppmition 1e ' amendment would be to

Hon. J.A. Campbell said that cii this amendment he and his colic-ii- gue. Mr. MacPhec. would hilVC to vote against each other.
0r. Macmillan: “Why?"
Hon. Mr. Campbell: "For the simple reason that in my opinion ii has become a political issue. I have the greatest respect for the leader of the Opposition. If he was a Liberal I would vote for Him. And perhaps lf I was on the fcnc”: I might drop on his side coo.

Dr. MacMillan: “We ivant you to)’
Mr. Campbell replied that this question of high school education had been “a snag for years". He criticised the leader ol the Op- position for "putting Sunimerside on the map" with special high school privileges, and making “a. big fellow of himself” by setting up a monument to his adminis- tration. Mr. MacPhee he added. would either have to vote against his leader on this amendment, or “he will vote politically and we will have to part different wa_vs_"
Why. Mr. Campbell asked. doesn't Summerside charge high school tuition fees. In ivlontague two-thirds of the students who attended the academy were from the country and they paid a $10 fee. This amendment. he main- tained. should be withdrawn. The Opposition leader. lic charged. "for iiie reason that lic supported a policy several years ago, is willing to sacrifice the interests oi’ the people of this Province now_ Con- ditions have changed and we have got to live according to our candi- tions. I am very sorry, but I will- hl-ive to cast my vote in opposi- tion to my hon. friend from Cari- digan."
Remarks Resented
DI‘. MacMillan: "I want to say that I resent the remarks that have been made by a member of this Government. His remarks to- day are on a par with his remarks when he said that the Government of which he was a member was ‘headed for Falconwocd.’ (Laugh- ter). I-I-e is the or.e ivlio is in- jecting politics into this matter. He ivants to lcad this Legislature t0 believe that when those grades were established in Summcrside. it was done by me as a political gesture-to make ‘a big fellow‘ of myself. and build a monument that would remain for yCflfS to me as a big fellow. A nice remark!"
Mr. Campbell: "I ddln't entire- ly mean that you were making a big fellow of yourself then but I meant you are tiying to make a big fellow of yourself now "

guing to be put in opposition to the member from Cardigan. and in order to obviate that calamity he asks me to withdraw tlia amend- ment I have made. I don't intend to do so. If a district will pro- v.de the building and equipment for a high school. as is part of the lliifgfllfi, I don't see why the Government should not be pre- pared to pay the teachers‘ salaries. That was my attitude ten years ago. and it is my attitude today."
Di‘, MacMillan took issue with the member from Belfast (Mr. Jones) for saying that the gov- ernment is devoting all the salary iicreases to higher education. That is not the case. There has been ample opportunity, in years past. to develop agricultural edu- cation in this p“OVinC€. He refer- red to the establishment by Sir William Macclonald of a consoli- dated school in one of the most progressive sections of the coun- try. He understood the member from Belfast was principal of that school for a long time. It existed for a number of years, but when sir William's benefactions ceased. what happened? Have any further
experiments been made in this direction? “As I understand it." said Dr.
MacMllian, "the Department of Education rind the Department of Agriculture for years have been endeavouring to get our boys and girls to remain on the farms in Prince Edward Island. There has been a professor of Agriculture in Prince of Wales College for years. The hon. member was criticising the Government more than he was criticising me. I think, Mr. Premier. he wants another trip. You had better look after him_ (Laughter).
Mr. 1-1. F. McPhee: "I can fully appreciate the difficulty of the lion member from Murray Har- bor (Hon. Mr". Campbell). He feels that he must differ with me and he has come to the conclusion, therefore. that he is wrong. and
is only his strong party loy- alfics-Jvvhich are har ly commend- flblP-JJVLITCT] prevent him from voting with me. He is thrown be- twccii his loyalty lo the party on the one hand. and his knowledge that I om right on the other, so that he is in a most uncomfort- able position." (Laughter).
Makes Astounding Charge
Hon. John A. Campbell replied that siunmerside had a right t0 sgiend a. lot of money on a large institution, but he thought they had been encouraged to do that by the leader of the Opposition, who always had big ideas. "Prince n2‘ Wales College." he said, "was built by the Liberals but it wasn't good enough for the Conserva- tives and they went and burned
it down." (Commotion).
Dr_ Maclvliilan: "I ask that the lion. gentleman withdraw that statement."
Mr. Campbell: "At any rate it ivant."
Dr, MaoMlllan: "I ask that the statement be withdrawn."
Mr. Campbell: "As I said before --as I already said-don't take me loo seriously."
Dr. MiicMlilaii: “Mr. Chairman. I insist that. the statement be withdrawn or reported to the Speaker of this House."
Makes Moro Serious Charges
My, Campbell: "I am not a lawyer and it is very hard at times-if I open my mouth-for an ordinary fellow to explain thin . But while I am not in a posit on to direct things from the council head. I say that it was tnrough carelessness on the part of the officials under the Con- servatives that the building was burned. The same thing happened at Falconwood. The building was burned through carelessness. and it has always been a policy of the Conservzilivcs—but I think the lender of the Opposition has a hobby for that kind of thing- thls is what I am coming alPI say that an institution of that kind was encouraged over in Sum- nicrside to ri certain extent by the leader of the Opposition."
Dr. MacMillan: "I rise to n poziit of order. I insist that the statement made by the hon_ mem- ber of the Government that tho Conservatives burned the Prince of Wales College be withdrawn."
Mr. Campbell: "Mr. chairman, I didn't make that deliberate state- ment. I say that this building was burned through carelessness ‘for the simple reason that the Gov- ernment plaoed certain officials
