Educatldl-al-Standards

”I'ilC.l'”eViV;M.fl(ilai).ie difficulty in "grddingtm0S1 important factor now is to manage

even livestock or produce but it is as noth- ing compared with the problems of apply- ing standards of education. Yet our whole system of education today is based on in- venting and applying standards to teach- ers' qualifications, to the subject matter of the curriculum and to the progress made by pupils.

Although it is rather like carrying water ill a dip net teachers have somehow man- aged to apply. the standards with which

they are supplied and produce good citiZens,;

qualified to take their place in the world and capable of adapting themselves to va- ried circumstances. Every child is, of course. unique.”The teacher is aware that it is impossible for anyone not knowing him or her individually to lay down how innate capacities are to be properly de- veloped. They know also that at every stage arbitrary tests will be applied to de- itll'nllll(l how far the educational process has been successful.

This is the familiar problem of every school teacher: how to develop the es- sentially individual capacities of the chil- dren entrusted to them and at the same of com- parison with other children and other schools. In this Province we probably lay too much stress on uniformity. It is nec- cssary so far as public school, high school, Prince of Wales College and university matriculation require some ready method of separating the qualified from the un- qualified, but apart, fl'om these require- ments it would be all to the good if teach- crs were allowed a greater measure of in- dependence in carrying on their task. It would not, of course, ease the problem of administration, but it would enable the in- dividual teacher to get on with education rather than producing uniformity. A

Water conservation Projects As intimated in Parliament recently by Resources Minister Winters in reply to a question by Mr. McLure, the Governmentls new policy of aiding the Provinces in water

conservation projects may be of service to

Prince Edward island, in connection with

the rebuilding of dams and millponds. This will depend on the merits of each individual

project-its size and importance to the

community and Province, and the willing-

ness of the local government to participate and bring it forward for consideration. The Minister emphasized that the con-

sclyation of natural resources within the less static campaign in Korea by opening a

Provinces is primarily a provincial re-

sponsibility, and there is no desire or in-

tcntion on the part of the Federal Govern- ment to evade that jurisdiction. The basic purpose of the bill now being drafted is to assist Provincial Governments in carrying olltf measures of a major character design- ed to conserve their water resources, and at the same time,rcduce the hazard of serious flooding. Assistance of the nature contemplated has already been given through special votes of Parliament to various projects which were outside the scope of existing Conservation Acts. Subject to funds being voted by Par- liament, the Federal Government has in- formed the Ontario authorities that finan- cial assistance will be given in the con- struction of a conservation dam on the Conestogo River. A formuda has been used whereby the local municipality agrees to pay 25 per cent of the cost, and the Pro- vincial and Federal Governments 371;; per cent. each. I The new hill before the House is intended to place this type of assistance

available to all Provincial Governments. The bill provides for federal contributions up to 371,5 per cent of the cost of major water conservation projects. A most im- portant feature is the provision for the un- dertaking by the Provinces of ancillary con-

jects receiving federal assistance. This will ensure that any project to which fed- eral assistance may be given will be a com- ponent part of an integrated conservation plan for the area in which the project is located. ,' when in Province wishes to undertilke the construction of a water conservation project, and submits it detailed pinto! the proposed over-all conservation manure: in the area concerned, this plat will lidiiutudled

No doubt our Provincial Department of Industry and resources will make u thor- ough canvas of the possibilities of obtain- ing federal aid under the terms of the new policy. in view of our comparatively small area, special consideration may be given in assessing the merits of the pro- jects.

Parliamentary Procedure

, The purpose of having rules for the Leg- islature as for other organizations and meetings ,is to enable business to be carried on expeditiously, to enable the will of the majority to be made effective, and to en- able the minority to be heard. So far as irules and orders are effective in attaining these ends they are appropriate. i Conditions change and it is understand- able that rules of the Legislature adopted in 1922 and amended only once since that time may not be the most satisfactory forl the conduct of business today. In particu- lar, the rules state that in unprovided cases the rules of the House of Commons at Ottawa as in force at the time shall be,

have been made in those rules since 1922i and it is desirable that they should at leasti be considered by the Legislature if they are to remain in effect for its deliberations. The committee appointed by the House can be depended upon to give full consid- eration to both the reason for existing rules and the factors which might call for .change. In any case the rules are for the protection of minorities as well as for iother purposes. It should not be permis- lsible, except as now in case of ”urgent and extraordinary occasions" to suspend the rules except with unanimous consent. The majority has the right to decide but it has no right, apart from emergency, to silence debate.

"Resources for Freedom", the United States Paley Report, is the subject of the Bank of Nova Scotla monthly review. It indicates that from 1970 to 1980 the Uni- ted States will depend upon imported sup- plies for 20 per cent of consumption at I level two-thirds greater than in 1950 when imports were only 9 per cent. The break- down lndlcatesthat Canada will be a prin- cipal supplier of the increased demand. There is a warning, however, in the ob- servation that for forest products Canada appears to be "over-cutting to at substantial

At least -one. the black-Lhroatcd, oi- greater honey guide (Indlczitor) has been observed leading men to trees containing wild honey so that both bird and man may eat. For many years ornlthoiogists were inclined to doubt that honey smrlea actually cooperated with Afmcan tribesmen to the extent that they showed them honey trees. But the reports persisted and gain- ed aweptance after they were Wnnmled by outside observers. Recently in a remote section of

British East Africa. on the Mara.

River cast. of Lake Victoria, motion pictures wlere made of a greater h0f1l0.V izulde leading Wandorobo trltbesmen to a honey tree.

The Wiindorobo. a nomadic sub- ifllbe Of the colorful Masai, are hunters who maintain their way of life undisturbed by Western civilization. They have no herds

cattle and no permanent homes. They live on the meat of wild game, edible fruits and roots-and wild honey, their only source of sugar.

Wandorobo listen for the noisy, cheerful chatiier of the greater honev guide. a bird somewhat. smaller than at robin and one that, like the cowbird, leaves its eggs in other birds' nests for hatch- lug. - When the bild is heard chatter- ing tr.-besmen answer it with low, musical whistles, The honey guide then files excitedly from tree to tree, always keeping the tribesmcn in sight. until it approaches the honey tree. At the tree the bird's chatter becomes louder and more excited.

The tribesmen check on the bird by pressing their ears to the trunk of the tree. If the buzzing of bees confirms the honey gu.lde's find- ings, they quickly kindle ll. fire and light. torches to stupefy and ward off the bees.

Then they cut. into the trunk. lzpparcntly unmlndful of the strings of bees not driven off by their Smoky tmohes. They extract the honey and put it in'to small akin pouches for easy ti-amporatlon.

Always the lrlbcsmen leave some of their loot: for the bird. which feeds not so much on the honey itself no on the wax and larvae from the nest.

The partnership between the honey guide and man is reported to be declining its trade penetrates into the deeper sections of the jungle. sweets om be obtained from the traders without the labor involved in pursuit. of the bird and attack on the tree. only in

The fact that Easter weather is, however. frequently unkind offers little hindrance to the enjoyment of the holiday and the opportun- ity it provides to get out and at- bout and go-places.

And drench it. in his dew, and with the sound
