Teachers, Resolutions til Salaries. Crowded

_ Thi- i’roviui:inl Educational (‘on- icrencc hold in this city yester- iiay attracted inuch luv-rest. At the opening meeting in the after- noon over 300 (felt-gates were pre- sent.

iVlias-srs. l3. R. Brown tint‘. lt. 1i. Jenkins were on motion zippoiiit- ed chairmen and Mr. Leo Nclligan, Secrtttiry.

Mr. Brown-in his opening rc- inarks. dwelt on the importance oi education and gave some interest- ing fiicts concerning the history of education in this ‘province, refer- ring at first to the salaries paid teachers and pointing out that in the early days direct taxation was as unpopular as it is today.

He contended that there is an impression abroad that something better than the Education Act of 1887 is required. Last year $160,- 000 was spent on education. Many believe that we are not getting value for that expenditure. Mr.. Brown referred to the Educational lleik-ieiitium of last year.

lic claimed that there was littli- or nothing sitiii in the press re- garding the referendum, and as a result protbnbly 90 per cent of tht people did not know about it, hence its defeat, ailtl consequently the Government is left in a peculiar ositioii.

The ‘following were appointed i! programme committee: Rev. J. C. lliarilii, John lilcGlllvrayg Supt. R. l-l. Campbell.

Rev. Dr. MdLellan ivas, then cal- l0fi on and delivered a splendid atl- dress on the educational Slllldi’ ion in this Province.

or hlcLellan expressed it“ pleasure at seeing 5° mall)’ BT95‘ eiit to consider the question of edu- cation-nhe most iulllﬂfiunt subject in (Yunada today. Few, he said, seem to realize how illlpﬁllﬂili a giibject it is, He dwelt on the nec- essity of True Education-fthe (le- velopinent of the whole being. The school he declared lo DB t1 Qflliiill" uatinii of the home. 'l‘lie child is 3on1 ilicrc for its further develop- ment, nnd is confided to the care‘ of teachers. lt is their duly l0 51W vision to the trhild. to make it real izc the all-importance of life and the noble part to be played in "f0- With surh a sucrerl charge ii is rc- quisite that the teacher should be skillful and thoroughly ilevelopetl in order to perform the task. 'l‘lie teacher should possess knowledge broad tlllll deep and be able to impart that ituowietlge so that it will be absorbed by the trliiltl. 'l‘lie foun- dation work iitust be tlccyj and strongf Dr. hlcliellnn went on to say that in P. E. lslaiitl today we are facing a serious crisis and that perhaps next year 100 schools Will he zaioscd and some 2,000 children be left without means of educa- tion. ISlioultl they miss the first year it will be difficult to reinstate them, as lost {me is never found zigain. The speaker dwclt upon the inducements being offered iii West- ern lCanada to teachers and the up parent lack of appreciation of our teachers at home and also the. lit- tle interest taken in many local- ities here in school matters. A real awakening of tho public conscien- ce was necessary. Co-opcrntion has proved itself n grand thing and no‘ where is it more needed than in the school. Meetings are held throughout the country having in viow the (betterment of our herds and poultry but this all-important miittci- of education of our child- ren is neglected. The workers in Tllflfilil‘ and brass may live to see their works crumble but teachers engaged in forming character are doing n work which will last for- ever. 'l‘lie speaker declared that the solution or the world's troii- bles today is true education by which the Iouth will understand all things in their nroper sphere. one realizing the rights of another. lliiis wiping out the cause of such things as Boishevism and social- lam and all becoming one hormon- ions whole. He concluded with a strong plea for better salaries for teachers which would mean better teachers and better scholars.

Rev. Dr. McLellan was accord- ed a unanimous vote 0f thanks at the close of his address,

Ti"? Tﬂiiﬁwiﬂl! resolution was then submitted by Rev. Dr. Gauthi- er:-

Resnlved that the licensing of persons to be teachers in our piib— lic schools. the Board of Educat- ion demand: .

(a) A higher standard of schol-

(b) hlore professional training.‘

that our teachers may use better mrtiioils in thc teaching and train- ing of our children.

(c) Greater miturity in age and judgment so that not every ap- plicant to be n teacher should be granted‘ a license and that after 1921 no one un-der 18 years of age shall be licensed.

The following amendment was added: That no Third Class license be granted unless the student at- tends at least one full college year.

This resolution brought forth a lengthy discussion the several clau- ses being taken up separately. Among the sipeakers who took part in tht- discussion were Rev. l). ll.
