Mr. Seymour Gflrdon

Hist speaker of lJhe afternoon was Mr. Seymour Gordon, MA, who opened his address with words of appreciation that he had been granted the privilege of addressing Prince Edward Island teachers.

Leaders in professional and bus- iness circles often extol teachers. Mr. Gordon said. Strangely en- ouch. QQWBVQELJLQ never noticed e. move to improve their status 150a point where they could demand recognition in. a monetary and pxoiesiouel way. “We get lip ser- vice but there is very little “else done, about it," he declared.

That ow was oomact whether the process was considered to be- gin when the pupil entered school and continue for ten yell‘! 0!‘ slightly longer. or whether educa- tion was considered to at birth and only terminate when death draws the curtain.

The teacher either improved or marred the early foundation oithe pupil and determined the super- structure. All aids. pictures. pho- tographs. etc. were o supple- mentary to the acher.

Teaching A Fine Art ‘Teachintf. basically end essen-

tially. ls a fine art and we must strive continually to be masters of it," Mr. Gordon declared. “The

course of study and equipment are the tools. while the pupil is to be the masterpiece. If we ore mes- tcrs. it matters little what equiv- ment is at our ." Considcrinli important moses in the life of the school, Mr. Gordon said past generations put. great stress on the three R's, reading, writing and arithmetic. Modern philosophy stresses instead charac- ter. culture. citizenship. If that is the case the position the teacher occupies is a very important one tojhegolnmunity and nation.

The task of the sehoolmmn is threefold. Mr. Gordon said. First it aids the pupil in the acquiring of facts. to enable him to wrest a

second phase was technique, the speaker said: that is. teaching the pupil to use his hands and to val- uete and appreciate the truth in the mass of chaff and rubbish he reads and hears during his life. These two phases are definitely the task of the teacher.

Cut out the non-essentials in the course keeping in mind the ob- lect of the subject, Mr. Gordon advised while referring to ques- tions teachers ask such as, “how can I cover this course. 400 pages in this text. 800 pages in another text"?

Don't cramp your style by ad- opting someone else's methods, the teachers were told.

The third phase was instruction in ability to get along well with others. That has been neglected by both teacher and pupil. There are certain definite principles in connection with this including in- tense interest in others.

Success gives an increase of en- ergy and should be put to more work and not dissipated. There should be a line drawn in this in relation to pupils, however.

There should be, too, a rhythm between periods of work and rest. Not long periods of rest and long periods oi work. And along with that, children should be taught

self-control, perseverence. and even temperament and the spirit of co- operation. In too many cases the home does not know how to e0 about imparting such attitudes to the children. The task is too great for the teacher alone. or even the teacher and home alone. the speaker said. Every factor in the community must be brought to aid in the task of developing the character oi the child. Care must be taken that ‘there led-lot something in thecom- munity which will undo the ei- fcrts oi the teacher. Parent-teacher associations were a great aid in developing desirable character in pupils. Mr. Gordon said. Personally he would not like

SHANGHAI, April 20—(Wednes- dam-Japanese asserted today they captured the city of Lini, 80 miles northeast of Suehow, es a result oi the first smashing drive in their new offensive to avenge the Tsi- erhchwang defeat.

SHANGHAI, April ZW-(Wednefl- day)—Japan is putting together a no. offensive machine for a sec- ond drive against the Chinese wall oi men, guns and broadswords which stopped and hurled back the first. Chinese reported today that the first stages of the Japanese drive on the central China front already were under way.

They said a force oi 60,000 Jap- anese, protected by the heaviest artillery barrage of the war, was advancing southwest along a 50- miie front toward Lini, on the Yi River, where Chinese have held firm for months.

The blggwt battle of the war- possibly the biggest in Oriental military history—was taking shape.

Foreign observers said, owever, they believed all Japanese prepar- ations had not yet been completed.

Contract For Fish Market Alterations Let At Special Ses- sion Of City Coun- cil.

City Councillors in special ses- sion last night discussed two ‘pills presented for payment at the last regular monthly meeting. In ad- dition the Council awarded a con- tract to H. J. Phillips dz Sons for remodelling the fish market at the City Market Building. Contract price was $495, Other contractors tendering included P. H. MacMll- lan. $576, with metal frame for tables, and $170 less if a w frame were used. Present. metal framework was practically useless because of rust. it was said. Mc- Aulay 8c Boisner tendered for $496. Phillips 8o Sons tender called for wood framework for tables. Ac- ceptance of the tender was moved by Coun. J. E. Blanchard and sec- onded by Coun. J.T. McKee. Coun. BR. Holman supported the motion.

The meeting voted, on division, to pay a bill of $2789.17 less $22.50. claimed by H. J. Phillips for extra labor and materials used in con- nection with the Park Roadway paving project last fall. Couns. Hennesey, Dougan, McIntyre and Chandler voted for payment of the bill, while Couns. Holman, McKee and Blanchard voted against the motion. The vote was taken after more than an hour and a half discussion.

Another bill from the Standard Paving Company for $641.59, for alleged loss sustained when a car of paving asphalt was turned down by the City Engineer, was left un- til the question of the amount al- lowed for rent of City equipment and City materials used could be thoroughly investigated.

The asphalt was turned down by Engineer Mcsservey when he found it was not setting as quickly as it should. Mr. O'Lcary, foreman for the paving company agreed, it was said at the meetlngnthat there was something wrong with the asphalt but he was unable to say what it was. However. after some discus- sion lt was agreed by the paving company foreman to take up what had been laid and not use any more of the material from the car in question.

‘Next morning. it was discovered that during the night the asphalt had set as hard as the remainder of the work but the City Surveyor. believing there was some defect in the zlspnult, refused to allow the quantity laid to remain.

Subsequently the pavinll com- pany had the material analyzed
