And the Alumni Association has tendered a. dinner M the graduating class, and in- creased the number of Alumni prizes to five. The alumni play an important part in colleges and high schools everywhere, and prince of Wales, like the others. will always welcome the interest and support of its former students. They in turn can be sure of its continued interest in them and their work.

Federal Grants

"One of the most important de- xclopments in the field of higher education has been the assistance given by the federal government to the universities. sorely needed by the universities, recommended by the Royal Commission on Na- tional Development in the Arts. Letters and sciences, and approv- ..d by Parliament. these grants have been a wonderful stimulus when the colleges everywhere are jgcing higher costs, declining rev- cnucs, and decreased enrollment. The money was given directly to the institutions concerned to be used at their own discretion for the purposes they thought most necessary.

"Prince of Wales College, by vir- tue of her two final years, was in- cluded among the institutions cli- gible to share the university grant. and she received a sum based on the number of students registered in the third and fourth years. We join with the other Colleges in expressing our appreciation of this assistance from Parliament which should prove most beneficial to the colleges and their students. and to the nation which will gain from the work they do.

"This financial assistance en- ables Princes of Wales to meet what has been one-of her most serious problems .- the plete lack of internal scliolarships. The College does not have private endowments which assist so materially the work of provincial government in- stitutions elsewhere, and. despite more than a century of existence and a large student population. there was not it single scholarship available to assist students in the senior years.

tion is high in the average parent these days, and it is accepted prac-

"Prince of Wales alone could do absolutely nothing to help its stu- dents. and. consequenti . many of our best Island boys and girls were forced to discontinue their work for lack.of funds. it was felt that there wu no better use for a por- tion of the College grant than stu- dent aid. commencing this year twenty scholo.

Presents a Challenge

"Convocation is not merely a time to look back - either for the students or for the institution. It is true that the ceremony marks the end of part of a. period of ap- prenticeship for'the students and the end of another year of the work of the college. But. just as it is the begining of new experiences for the

t ” t it is a challenge to the college to benefit by past experi- ence and rise to even greater achievement in the future. Prince of Wales, like every other educa- tional institution. cannot afford to rest on its laurels; it must go for- ward and meet the many demands which education in a hectic twen- tieth century is making on this Province and on the world in general.

"Anything which Prince of Wales can do toward the welfare of the young people of this Province is a duty which it should perform as effectively as possible. That is its primary function. It is obliged to maintain its strength. which it has in abundance, and remedy its weaknesses, and no institution should be so naive as to deny its weaknesses. To do anything else would be to betray the commun- ity and the young people who will eventually control the commun” . Maintaining strengths and remedy- ing weaknesses are ceptionaliy difficult at times, but a combina- tion of hard work, loyalty, good will, and imagination have brought Prince of wales I. long way since i834. and on each Convocation we hope and pray that such a com- bination will carry the College into an even greater future.

"Prince of Wales is a. junior col- lege combining two years of high school. a normal school. a com- merce department and two years of university. This has been a most successful union, for each de- partment has been able to strengthen the others. The College now has good company. for Junior colleges are advocated and are be- ing established in many parts of Canada and the United States as a. most effective method of pro- viding educational facilities. only last year we had occasion to salute a new junior college. xnvier Col- lege. recently established in Syd- ney. Nova Scotia.

"roday we bid farewell to the graduating class and say an revoir' to the other btudents who are completing a. year and who will be returning to do further work But we should remember that this day is really graduation day for the teachers-in-training. the com- merce Itudents. and those who are finishing high school. To them we addresa our wrmatuiations for work well done and our best wishes for the future.

"High school and comma cu gra- duates. you will find many fielda of endeavour to which to bring your energies and ambitions. Your employers will expect you to make the best use of what you have by way of character. a ility. common sense. and education. Life wiu give you many opportunities to de- velop all four; don't let any pass by without learning what you can. Remember that the purpose of education is not merely learning facts and ideas: it is learning how to think and how to live. And this process doesn't stop at graduation

No Finer Profession

"These some points are import- ant to you who are going to our schools to teach. Yours. however. is a greater obligation, for he who presumes to teach others must take great stock of his own re- sources. lnce of Wales has been turning out teache s since the old Normal School was joined to the College in 1879.- Training teachers is an important function but a difficult one at a time when the teacher shortage is serious every-' where.

"There is no finer profession than that of teaching and in it are many opportunities for service. Give it your best. You-might re- member two things. When you are a young teacher, you still have much to learn; to teach others you must keep on teaching your- self and experience will be your further education. As you get old- er, remember a. basic principle - that there is a. great difference between twenty years experience and -one year's experience twenty times. Nothing is sadder than a young teacher who thinks he knows it all or an older teacher who has never bothered to in- crease his knowledge, and who re- lies solely on a text book or a set of notes for the guidance of his students. Or, to put it another way, when you start out, seek to combine wisdom and knowledge with your nthuslasm and initiative as you get older make sure you are gaining in wisdom and knowl- edge and retaining your enthusi- asm and initiative.

"To the community I bespeak for these Normal school graduates the opportunities and the prestige which school teachers deserve. They will be in charge of the school life of our children and their work will depend in large measure on the public support. cncuuragement and remuneration which the citizens can givecthem.

"The first minutes of the' board of governors which was responsible for the administration of Prince of Wales from its foundirg to 1879. show that the original plan was to develop the College into a full degree-conferring university. In re- cent years no official record has indicated any such policy and, as far as I know. no government min- ister or member of the College Faculty has suggested or advocat- ed the idea. Our function here is adequate: to give the best high school faculties possible, to train well as many prospective teachers as we can. to furnish the busin community with efficient com- merce graduates, and to provide the sound college freshman and sophomore years which have been recognized so favourably and so long by universities and profes-

fortunately in every institution there are always some who miss their years. Life teaches just as much through failure as through success. Many know why they did not pass; if they do, they should not be discouraged but should keep at it. Those who are not sure of the reasons for not passing should consult their in- structors and find out. Their "teach- ers are anxious to help and they will do everything possible to as- sist and encourage them to over- come their difficulties.

"Those who did not win certifi- cates should not feel they have failed. Certificates at Prince of wales are the recognition of hon- our standing. as per cent and up. which is the same everywhere. Those who have passed without certificates have completed their years, except where stars indicate

'ul h " with particular subjects. Again, if we can do any- thing to help you improve your standing. or clear off a. star with a supplcme iary, don't hesitate to call on us.

Graduated Obligation

"My final words are to the gra- duating class. The education which you have received so far. you might be tempted to regard as a service which you obtained in re- tum for your fee and your en- ergy. Actually, it is an obligation which you must repay. and your creditors are the community which maintained this institutio for your convenience. the parents and friends who have faith in you, and, above all, the Divine Power which gave you the talents and opportunity to get this far. What you will learn will be worthless to anyone-unless you put it to the ftlrllest use of which you are cap- a le. l"soma people think that all they need is a diploma or degree to ob- tain certain status, privileges or ” cement. The. diplomas or degrees are just labels; the hold- ers muat show that they measure up to the labels.. You should al- ways remember that your qualifi- cations will only get you aa far as your character, your ability to work. and your common sense per- mit

"You might ask what society holds in store for you when,you go forth to work. One thing it will always have for you is op- portunity ... opportunity. not for fame, power. and riches.

MR. FRANK J TRAINOR The death occurred suddenly at

his home in Tyrone, (Lot 65). On Sunday morning, May lath. of Mr. Frank J. Trainor. Although not very active for over a year follow- ing a severe heart attack in March 1961, his death was nevertheless, entirely unexpected.

Only a few days before he had returned from a three days' check- up in the Charlottetown Hospital and apparently much improved in health. However, it was not to be, the Almighty God no. doubt wish- ed once again to remind others "that even in the midst of life, you are in the midst of death," so F. J., as he was so well and favorably known, was taken to his Eternal Reward.

Mr. Tralnor was born at Elm- wood in 1895. the son of James and Fannie (McKenna) Trainor. His early years were spent on the farm helping his father, and shortly after the outbreak of the first World War, he enlisted in the Canadian Army, serving until the end of hostilities and receiving an honorable discharge in the fall of 1918. A short time after his re- turn home he entered business at the Crossroads in Tyrone, as gen- eral merchant and shipper of produce and livestock, which busi- ness he success'ully carried on un- til his death.

Mr. Tralnor was twice married, first in 1920 to Mae Clarkln who died in 1937, and again in 1942 to Mary Kavanagh who survives him. Besides his wife there are left to mourn the loss of a kindly father, the following sons and daughters: Linus and Damien at home and who have been in business with him during the past few years: Genevieve in Toronto; Eleanor, a nurse in private practice in Char- lottetown; (Noreen), sister Fran. cis Paula of the sisters of Char- ity. Ysrmouth. N. S; (Myra). sis- ter lldary Damien of Our Lady's Missionaries, Alexandra, Ontario; one daughter, Roma died in 1934 at the age of two. All are the chil- dren of his first marriage.

Besides his own family, he is survived byithe following sisters: (Bertha), Sister Agnes Marie, Su- perior at Tignish Convent: (Mary) Mrs. William Coady, North Will- shlre; (Vera). Mrs. Emmett Gor- man. South Melville. P. E. 1.; and Ada, a librarian in Vancouver. B. C.; and one brother Charles of Halifax, N. S.. Provincial Manager of the. Prudential Life. one sister Agnes, and one brother, Linus pre- deceased him.

P. J. Trainer was a. very kind and friendly man and took a great interest in many things. but es. Pecllilly in the development and betterment of his own community of which he was very proud. He was ll prominent member of the Charlottetown Council, Knights of Columbus, and of St. Anne's Holy Name society. In politics, he was is staunch Conservative and on several occasions was mention- ed as a possible candidate for the second District He was known as a keen and astute business man and his business connections were many and some of them far afield.

His funeral, which took place from St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday morning. MAY 21st. was perhaps the largest ever seen in that community. It was a beautiful sunny morning as the casket that held his last re- mains was slowiy carried across the road from his home to the beautifully rebuilt and redecorated church of which he was so proud and to which he gave so much. Practically every community in Queens County was represented and many came from distant parts of the province to pay their last respects.

one young man, his wife and two kiddies, came from almost the extreme eastern part of the Pro- vince to pay his respects to one he had not seen for years, but for whom he worked as a boy. - such was the tribute of one who, as s lit- tle boy. remembered his kindness towards him. That was 1". J.'s na- ture and many, in the years to come. will remember his kindness and help in 0 many ways but par- ticularly with regard to their edu- cation.
