Activities.

Prince Edward Island teachers at "19 Opening sessions of the annual three-day conven l0l1 yesterday heard interesting addresses dealing with problems confronting the teaching profession. Practical de-

‘ atlon ‘ were i- ‘ “ ‘ in the day’s program.

Miss Bessie Maoileod, president of the P. E. I. Teachers’ Federation in her report of the year's activities told the meeting that the “Teachers Aid Service" established last year for the purpose of assisting the members of the Federation in their respective school problems had achieved great success.

The service was directed during 1935 by Mr. C. F. I-line, vice-prim clpal of West Kent school.

The adoption of Miss Mao.Leod’s report, which appears in full at the end of this article, was moved by Mr. James Mocsllum, seconded by Miss Jacqueline MacDonald. and supported by Mr. 0. B. Jelly.

Afternoon easier:

The afternoon session _ with a fifteen minute talk on public speaking by Miss Marjorie Hicks. teacher of elocution.

“Talking is the communes thing In 1118. but strangiy enough it re- ceives e least attention in the public so ools," Miss Hicks said.

Public speaking in prince of Wales college was not at all what it sh5uId be and as she saw it the condition was a reflection on the teachers in the public schools of the province, the speaker claimed.

There had not been one entry in the public speaking contest which was to have been held during the provincial Hobbies exhibition lnI Charlottetown two weeks ago, was Hicks stated. Mr. Norville Luck, Eecretlry of the Y. M. O. A. branch. which are all the hobbies show, had told her the lack of public speakers had been due to one of two things, “either there is so much public speaking the pupils are tired of it, or they are afraid to try," she said, adding, she felt the latter was the case.

She advocated much more atten- tion to teaching of elocutlon in the schools of the province.

"The greatest battles of the world are fougm. not with swords but with words. we will render students one of the greatest. services possible if we teach them speech," Miss Hicks concluded.

Red Cross Demonstratl

A very splendid Junior Red Cross demonstration was given by 21 pupils from Rochford 5 q u a r a school.

A vow of thanks to the pupils and teachers of the school was moved by Mr. C. B. Jelly. seconded by Miss Mary Irving.

Mr. R. H. Rogers, secretary of the local Red Cross org nization, spoke briefly requesting the support of the teachers in the membership and financial campaign which will be held some time in May.

He commended very highly Miaa l-licks’ address on public speaking and said in that connection that there is nothing being done in the

training received from the Junior Red Cross organizations where the pupils learn how to conduct meet- ings and to speak in public.

Objectives in Teaching English

Dr. G. D. steel, in his address on aims and objectives in the teaching of English C position, told the teachers that he wished to ‘look at our schools‘ particularly at what we are doing with our pupils and also at what we are failing to do. As a member oi the common examining board of the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland I with 60 others had been looking at the schools of the constituency served by the board. At stated seasons through our school year we have all to look at our schools. We say generally. ‘we are holding examinations.’ It might be better," Dr. steel said, "if we regarded our task as in looking at our schools. Anyone who takes this careful look at our schools is bound to admit that we have failed where we should be making our greatest successes. I refer to the fact that though from the earnest grades in school we, as teachers, have aimed at certain objectives in our English work we have to admit to ourselves that we have signally failed with a very large percentage of those with whom we have worked. Pupils come up to grades 9, 10 and even 11 who have no idea what a sentence really is, although they will gllbly recite a text book definition."

Dr. Steel then went on to give the

WJENNIPEG, April 'l—Proposals that the Canadian Wheat Board store part of its surpllu wheat in Great Britain in readiness for any eventuality that might develop through war in Europe were view- ed with disfavor tonight by the Canadian grain trade.

R. 0. Reese. president of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, joined J. R. Murray, chairman of the wheat board, in expressing dis- approval oi suggestions advanced by the London Times and Her- aid.

Storage of substantial quantities of Canadian wheat at United Kingdom ports would be regarded in distress position by the trade overseas. Mr. Murray s:id. It would also be cxmnsive to Canada as storage charges in the United Kingdom were higher than in the

‘SIX NIIVA SIIIIIIANS IIRIIIINED

Tragedies Occur Near Halifax and In Cape Breton Island.

(BY The Canadian Press)

B198-Ii crass of outer Halifax Har- bor and peaceful shores of the Bras dOr Lakes’ East Bay were combed for bodies today after lives of six Nova Scotlahs had been lost in storm-battered open boats.

Thirteen children were orphaned by the apparent drowninss of two Indian couples missing since last Tuesday after setting out on 3, five- mile mp across East Bay in a. row- boat from their Cape Breton re- serve.

Their overturned boat drifted ashore Sunday. Bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Michael and Mr. and Mrs. Noel Marshall have not been found.

His head battered beyond recog- nition, Owen Miller, 18-year old Sandy Cove fisherman, was found dead Monday morning in a rock crevice near Purcell's Cove at the mouth of Halifax Harbor.

Close by was the battered 2"!-foot motorboat in which he had sailed for home with his 38-year old com- panion, Wilfred Finck, father of three children living in sandy Cove. After selling their season's catch in Halifax they had set out on their return in the face of a 60-mile gale raging at the harbor mouth. Body of Finck has not been recovered.

At least three other Nova Scotlans were more fortunate. Bernard. Stephen and Don Foster were res- cued from a Bay of Flmdy storm Sunday after their fishing boat had broken ddwn. They were being driv- en towards certain death on the dangerous Chegoggin cliff when two Yarmouth fishermen picked them UP.

A '10-year old man was pulled from Bedford Basin yesterday after his boat capsized. He was Michael Mountain of Tui't'a Cove, across the harbor from Halifax.

The victims were scattered about the mountainside I under blankets. Rescuers pried through a. mass of wreck- age to retrieve the bodies from the transport which plough- ed through a heavy thicket, turned over and burned,
