At the request of Dr. M. L.

Of this amount 52.181.284 is to be paid as interest with another $1,047,175 as a sinking fund provision for future debt retirement.

Liberal leader M a th e son asked "are we r e c e i ving as good an interest rate as we should?" He noted that the pro- vincial treasurer was paying

00.000 0 interest on the debt this year than before.

Importance Of Technical Education Is Stressed

By NICK FILLMORE i Guardian - Patriot Staff Writer} “Teachers should realize that} vocational schools are not dump-ii ing grounds for students of weak! ability who are not achieving! well u n d e r academic stand-i ards". said Malcolm MacKen-l zie, deputy minister and direct-‘ or of education for the province of P.E.I. overflow and-l ience in the auditorium of Queen; Charlotte High School yesterday? morning. i Mr. MacKenzle, speaking to a gathering of some 900 schooll teachers at the closing sessionl of the annual convention. saidl that there is a great need to sell' vocational education to the par- ents. "Many people think th at only academic education hasl

prestige", he said. “in a scien-l proximatelv 70 per cent of this

title and technical age there is‘ a great need for technicians of. all types." I

Changing his topic to radio; education. he said the federation was disappointed that “the local radio station had discontinued; the department of education ra-‘

din broadcasts. Assured that’ the number of teachers in favor‘ of having the programs renewn ed was a large group by asking; for a show of hands. Mr. Kenzie stressed the point that the department of education; must have the full support ofr Island teachers it the depart-l ment attempted to have the: programs started again. . "There is a great need for. teachers to be_ well acquainted with the statistics of education expenditures". he said.

EDUCATION cosrs l

“The education costs In this: province for instance, has in-. creased from $3.794.000 in 1960] to $5,704.000 in 1963. an increase5 of $2,810.000 in a period of two years. The province bears ap-

expenditure." Looking at the situation from a different angle Mr. MacKenzie commented that $4,222,000 had been spent on liq- uor in the province last year. $1.482.000 more than was spent on education. "And we ca ‘ blame it all on the tourists". he

3 n-

an explanation was being given for this year's estimates for the purpose of $200,000 which is $50.- 000 higher than was estimated. last year. i

The estimates had been start- ed during the afternoon session and adjourned to 7.30 last night. At that hour there was a bare quorum— all Progressive Con- servatives— but Premier Shaw called for a start. As Speaker of the H o u s e John R. MacLean took his seat and pounded the gavel' to open proceedings there were mixed cries of "start" and "No. wait for them". Just then 10 Liberal members filed in to their seats.

SALARY T00 LOW

As the House continued to deal with the department of health Liberal Opposition leader A. W. Matheson criticized the salary paid Dr. Eric Found. superinten- dent of the Provincial Senator- ium. He thought in view of the amounts paid other doctors in government service Dr. Found should receive c o n s i derably more e s p e c ially "considering the high honor he received re- cently to show the regard in which he is held."

The reference was obviously to Dr. Found earlier this year having been named "Islander of The Year".

Later under questioning by Mr. Matheson. Hon. enr Wedge said the increased esti- mate for child welfare was due to increased payment of board in foster homes.

Hon. Mr. MacRae said feder- al regulations prohibied th e feeding to pigs of ‘u n c o o k ed swill'. Opposition Leader Math- eson smilingly asked if the pigs were thriving on it. Replied Mr. MacRae "if they were they were thriving illegally."
