Death tienday Of Mr. Isaac Ives

The death of Mr. Isaac Ives occurred at Hunter River yester- day after a brief illness. He was in his Vlnd year.

Mr. Ives was born at Tryon, P. 1:. Island on Feb. 3th. 183, at the home of his father. the late Thomas Ives who then owned the Tfyon Mills. In 1890 Mr. Ives moved to Albany Mills where he conducted a saw, shingle end plane mill until he moved to Montague in April, 1899, where he conducted the Montague Wood- working Plant until February. 1938. At that time he retired from business and moved to Charlotte- town where he resided with his son. Mr. T. G. Ives.

He was predeceased by brothers George and Charles, and sister: Elizabeth and Georgia.

Mr. Ives was married to Miss Louisa H. l-lowatt of Cape Trav- erse, on March 15th. 1884. Mrs. Ives died in 1942.

Two sons survive, Mr. T. G, Ives and Mr. William Ives both of Charlottetown.

Mr. Ives as a lieutenant in the active Militia was called up with his unit from Tryon in 1885 at the time of the Rail Rebellion and mobilized at Charlottetown with other detachments. At that time they attended a farewell service in St. Paul's Anglican Church but received orders to die-band as hostilities had ceased. His interest in military matters continued for many years and he was constantly in attendance at the Montague rifle range where he won distinction which took him to Ottawa as a contestant in the annual national shooting events on several occasions.

Mr. Ives, who was of an in- ventive turn of mind. built an automobile in 1907 which he euc- cessfully operated on several short trips to outlving districts from his home in Montague.

During his entire lifetime, Mr. Ives was an ardent and sincere ;ricr&-iber of the Church of Scot- en .

The Third Kings Member com- mented that it must have been a great physical effort on Mr. Dar- by's part to deliver the Budget Address lind he expressed the hope that the Government Member would quickly improve in health.

"We are the 'watch-dogs' of the Treasury and we are the ones who must crltlze the facts and figures," stated Mr. MacDonald. He stated that the six Progressive Conservative members represented 4796 of the voters and the critic- isms that would be made would he done so solely in the interests of the people.

I think my feet were freezing. I don't remember much. except just waiting for dawn to come. And when it was light. I looked at Leo and I knew he was dead.

I don't think I slept for two days. Yesterday (Monday) I started out. I was walking at a snall's pace. I could hear the planes overhead and I knew they were searching for me. I waved frantically with a piece of the wing. but I guess they were too high.

Finally I found an abandoned shack last night and was able to light a tire. This morning I went outside and with ashes from the fire spelled out the letters 8 0 5 and foo-I couldn't finish the word food.

Then some lumberjacks came along and they showed me the way here.

I'm so tired. I want to sleep.

I'm staying here to help the search parties find the wreckage.

Educational

The Legislative committee on education yesterday concluded its hearings with its final session in -the legislative Chamber. Mr. C. Mercer. principal of the summer- side High school. who was expected to be a witness could not appear due to the heavy storm and con- dition of the roads. As a result Dr, Frank Macxinnon. principal of Prince of Wales College, was before the committee again for the thli-J time.

The very brief session consisted mostly of questions by Dr, W. J. P. MacMillan and answers by Dr Macxlnnon. Mainly the questions dealt with the handling of the Mandy Grant from the Federal Government. The principal indic- ated that it had come direct to the College and that by order-in-coun- cil the money had been put in a special fund in the hands of the Provincial Treasurer.

Last week during his testimony Dr. Macxinnon quoted a statement to the effect that Blmllar practice had been followed in other Prov- inces and pointed out that the Carnegie grant of 1932 had been put in a special fund in the Royal Bank.

Dr. MacMillan felt strongly on the matter of the Principal "by- passing" the Deputy Minister of Edumtion and recalled that on visits to Ottawa as Premier he had done most of his business with deputies. Dr. Mselilnnon replied that he felt the College should gl- ways have direct access to the Min- later himself. He also pointed out that reports of 1948 showed that the College was held directly re- sponsible.

Fund Returned

The committee member mentioned 5 lllecific amount of S750 and asked if It had not had to be returned to the Government on demand. Dr. Mac-.Kinnon said this was true but the money had originally been set aside for the annual Samuel Rob- ertson Memorial Lecture. He said that in the beginning Government policy gave the Principal authority with approval of the Minister of Education, to spend the money for oollege educational purposes but that a later order-in-council had changed it.

Regarding staff meetings in- volvlng all members Dr. MacKin- non said that one such had been neld at the opening of the fall term, -but that faculty meetings were held regularly. Dr. MacMlllan felt that more general meetings should be held I0 Permit the younger teach- ers ta obtain counsel on their prob- lems. The college Principal agreed with this and thought monthly meetings for this purpose would be n good idea. -

. MacMillan. during the course of is questioning, asked if it were not true that Dr. Macxlnnon had asked the Government for per- mission to sit in for a time at each of the Cabinet meetings. The principal stated. he had simply -W889-sled that he be allowed to meet with the Government oc- casionally to keep it informed on matters pertaining to Prince of

Wales College.

Regarding recommendations for salary increases Dr. MacMillan stated "Your whole procedure since you came here has been to ignore the Deputy Minister" and added that he thought it was by arrangement with the then Prem- icr.

Extra College Expenses

Regarding expenses of the Col- lege the questioner asked the Principal about heating the Voca- tional school and conducting var- ious courses in the College itself or in the school. Among the latter he mentioned the Commerce Course and one in Household Sci- ence. Dr. MncKinnon remarked that though the latter two were held in the School where special equipment is available one of the school courses. in drafting, was held in the College. Dr. Mac- Kinnon felt that this exchange should more than offset the extra cost to the College of heating the School.

Dr. MacMillan was very critical of the teaching of political sci- ence ln the College and the Prin- cipal answered by telling the com- mittee that it was an optional subject in the Fourth Year and was taught at that level through- out Canada.

When Dr. Maclllnnon finished.

Matthews, Report Study Meeting

The fourth meeting of interest-. ed citizens studying the Matthews? Report met in the board room of the Polyclinic last evening.

The topic discussed was the control and administration of the school system of Charlottetown.

The group felt that changes should and could be made in the choosing of school board members, their interest in the wishes of the citizenary and city council and their public relations.

some felt that one of the city councillors might be appointed to lit with the school board. It was suggested that board meetings should be open to the public. in- umuch as this board spends about one-third of the city's revenue.

Another point brought forward was the lack of general knowledge and interest of the citizenry in this board. and thought that this might be partially due to some lack of good public relations on the part of the School Board.

some of the group suggested that the city council might evoke more interest if they periodically

attended the various Home and school meetings; likewise the School Board.

Also discussed was the idea of having the venous home and school groups suggest names to fill the vacancies on the school board. The dlecunion was ably led by Hon. P. A. Large. QC. Next week t.hedieeuuionwillbeledbyA. Macmillan

Committee

Concludeslls Hearings

Mr. Randolph carruthes. Pro- vincial Audltor, briefly told how the funds granted the College had been handled. A

Mr. Clark's Statement

At the conclusion of the hear- ing Hon. Keir Clark told briefly of the work done by the com- mittee. His statement is as fol- lows:

"As this is probably the final meeting of this Committee which will be held in public, I would like to take this opportunity to make a few general remarks. We have examined ll witnesses and have held ten meetings. Due to the limited time at our disposal dur- lng the session we have come to the point where we should now discuss our findings and make our report to the House.

"I must state that from my own viewpoint the meetings have been most useful. You may appreciate that we have been unable to cov- er all the various matters needing attention but I feel we have taken under consideration many matters of importance.

"We have investigated or dis- cussed our teaching training pro- gram and the supply of teachers, teaching methods used in the schools, curriculum, and the rela- tionship of the schools to Prince of Wales College, as well as whet- her this school should function independently or its policies be integrated with the general broad policies of the Department of Ed- ucation.

Education Public Business

"I feel that when public busi- ness is under investigation or dis- cussion that all sides of a story must be adequately heard and examined. Hence I felt it necessary to try to have member's questions properly answered and I regret that in some cases it was neces- sary to ask questions myself order to further clarify matter: under discussion. The Principal of Prince of Wales College asked for a public hearing. Many witnesses volunteered their own services in the interests of education while all others were merely invited to come before us. I greatly appreci- ate their interest and their ef- forts and feel through this fine spirit of co-operation that educa- tion in this Province will progress.

"I also wish to thank the Press for their interest and the fair manner in which they have report- ed the proceedlngs of the meetings where reporters have attended. I wish to thank all who have in any way contributed to these meet- ings for their assistance and kind co-operation. and I sincerely hope that although differences of opin- ion may have arisen, this whole- some controversy may produce bcncflcial results for the better- ment of education in this Pro- vim--”
