15. Agriculture as an industry has undergone many changes, and proper business methods are becoming more and more im- portant in the operation of a farm, therefore my Government has employed an agricultural economist whose services are available to -assist our farmers in the éstablishment of a farm management program suitable to their particular type of operation.

16. During the past year the Department of Agriculture has revived the Dairy Herd Improve- ment Policy. At the end of 1958 there were 7 associations, with 157 farmers testing a total of 1,- 646 cows. To further extend this

18. As a cash crop potatoes are most important to the econ- omy of our province. To assist in the prevention of disease, and in the maintenance of the high quality for which our potatoes have always been noted, a potato fieldman will be ‘appointed.

19. The Prince Edward Island | Frosted Foods Limited com- | menced operations at their new plant in the summer of 1958. There are inevitable problems in the operation of a new industry but the prospects are exceedingly bright. The farmer who operates a smal] holding will be able to derive inestimable benefits from | the products which che is able | to produce and sell for process- ing in this modern up-todate manufacturing plant.

20. My Government views with. satisfaction continued progress in the field of education. The erec- tion of many new schools and the remodelling of others have |provided adequate accommoda- |tion in most urban areas and in the great majority of rural dis- tricts.

25. Vocational training coptin- ues to progress satisfactorily. Project work ‘introduced last year helped to improve the train- ing of students and additional projects are planned. Heavy en- rolments have made it necessary to add a new wing to the school. In this additional space the train- ing in the following subjects will be continued and greatly expand. ed: classes in agriculture, fisher- ies, bricklaying and plastering, courses in commerce, home economics and diesel mechanics.

staff of the Department of Edu- cation is presently taking post- graduate training in this highly specialized field of teacher edu-| cation and will assume direttion of the new school. «

28. Last year five scholarships valued at $200.00 each were pro- vided at Prince of Wales College for students taking normal train- ing. My Government has contin- ued to press the Federal authori- ties for additional assistance in providing interest free loans to unéversity students. Requests from needy students have been so many that my Government has gone far beyond matching

eral-Provincial Agreement and has more than doubled the net loan expenditure from provin- cial sources, in order.to provide the necessary funds for this purpose.: In addition to ‘assisting high school students | whg: enrol for trainifig as teacher’, loans up to $300.00 have been provided needy and competent. students in ‘Grade XII who intend to train as teachers.

These loans will be extentied to students of Grade XI who like wise have shown high scholastic ability and plan to enter the teaching profession, if they re side in areas where high school opportunities are not available. My Government will also provide bursaries for needy students tak- ing vocational] training.

29. The salaries of teachers at Prince of Wales College were in- creased during the year. The sal- ary schedule was recently revis- ed to provide for an increase of $300.00 in the minimum and maxi-

This made it possible for the Department of Education to advance the minimum acade- mic requirements for the First |Class License beyond the high school. level to include university work in English and other, sub- jects. A reclassification of the Superior License provided for recognition of university credits in the sophomore. junior and senior years of college. It is hop- ed these changes will eventually induce better trained persons to enter and remain in the profes- sion, with the result that our whole educational program will be greatly enhanced.

23. The salaries of teachers were raised at the beginning of the present school year. Teach- ers holding Superior First Class Licenses were given a salary in- crease of one hundred dollars. In addition, the salary increments paid to all experienced teachers were provided at shorter inter- vals and the number of incre- | ments increased. |/ENCOURAGE TEACHERS | 24.

My Government iacreased' the subsidy on school books by $5.- 000.00 during the current year to a total of $45,000.00 and will con- | tinue to subsidize all school books ‘up to and including those used’ ‘at the Grade XII level. You will be asked to vote additional money to insure that school books are available to all pupils at reason- ably low prices.

31. My Government has given careful consideration to the prob- ‘lem of education finance. Federal laid to education at the primary and _ elementary levels could greatly improve educational stan- dards and would enable us in Prince Edward Island to provide educational opportunities at least equal to the Canadian average. To finance a greatly expanded program of education from pro- vincial sources to meet . rapidly changing conditions will require changes in the basic organization of our school system. Further study and thought\ must be given to this preblen by my Goverm ment and all interested citizens of this province. My Government recognizes the unequal load of taxation for education on school districts with relatively low pro- perty valuations. and will offer to districts with subnormal taxa-

based on per pupil requirement and assessed valuation per class-

8. Since the commencement of the present fiscal year my Gov- ernment has received from the Government of Canada monthly payments on the adjustment grant of two million five hundred thousand dollars which was ap- proved for each of the four fiscal years commencing the first ‘of April 1958. The Governmente of Canada agreed to increase the rate used in calculating standard individual income under the Fed eral-Provincial Tax Arrangement Act from ten percent to thirteen percent. Prince Edward Island is the only province that does not benefit from this additional per- centage increase.. 9. My Government has entered into an agreement under which the cost of assistance for unem-
