New School Buildings

'l'he question of new school buildings was discussed at the recent conference of the Canadian Education Association in Tor- onto and brought forth facts of interest. The enrolment of pupils is, for example, ex- pected to increase across Canada by 120,- 000 a year. To provide the schools for these additional children will call for a country-wide outlay estimated at 5t102,000,- 000 per annum for several years.

Criticism is sometimes levelled at boards of education for constructing types of schools which are too luxurious in their appointment. Now the emphasis is on good construction, with an aim to provide a cheerful interior environment that will help young people to derive the greatest benefit from their schooling. Dr. J.vA. G. Easton, technical adviser off the Ontario Depart- ment of Education, touched f'n this phase of building when he stressed at boards of. education have to take a lo g-range view and erect schools of sound ml terials to en- sure that these structures will stand over the years. Any other policy might well re- sult in a poorly constructed school not last- ing longer than the life of the debentures issued to build it.

"Taxpayers are inclined to murmur when civic budgets are presented each year and it. becomes known what heavy inroads boards of education make on the taxpayers dollar," comments the Hamilton Spectator. ttYet every parent wants his children to re- ceive an education, which is only natural and right. It might be that property own- ers are warranted in feeling that they have to bear too heavy it share of the costs of education, and tha-t a more equitable dis- tribution of that burden could be arranged. But it is difficult to see how boards of ed- ucation can avoid-building new schools so long as the demaridv for increased accom- modation continues , year after year."

Not A Local Problem

In Australia, as in this country, one of the big problems is the drift of young peo- ple from the land to the cities. Various proposals have been made on methods of checking this drift, but generally it appears to be recognized that more attention to country education in general, and to agri- cultural education in particular, would pro- vide the best solution.

A great deal has been done in the way of agricultural education, writes Mr. James Mahoney, editor of The Farmer and Set- tier, Sydney, but the primary school sys- tem as yet does not devote sufficient atten- tion to the subject. It is, of course, unwise that country children should be educated only in agriculture, as past history has shown that national leaders in many spheres come from the land. It would be bad policy to do anything that would discourage development of country children to take their places in other sections of the com- munity.

However, for those who do intend to re- main on the land, there is a great need to improve the educational system so that it will develop a greater love of the country and a greater knowledge of improved methods of farming-

”This is a problem," concludes Mr. Ma- honey, "which I expect exists in Other C0U”' tries and I think that any exchange of views that you can arrange would be of universal benefit to agricultural countries throughout the world."

Beef Production

Canada's cattle at June 1, 1951, were estimated at nine and one third millions, about a million and a half lower than in 1945, notwithstanding the fact that beef prices have been reasonable to very attrac- tive for a full decade. Cattle and calf mar- ketings from Canadian farms and' ranches in 1951 were 300,000 lower than in the previous year. Just over 15 per cent. of the cattle and calves marketed in 1951 went to the United States either on foot or as dressed beef. But while the exports of dressed beef did not decline, the actual number of cattle exported alive, was less than half of what it was in the previous year.

With some uncertainty surrounding the export markets for pork and bacon, says a western exchange, this would appear as an appropriate time to direct emphasis upon beef markets, at home and abroad. With less pressure on land resources in this

, . ,

country, Canada is in a better position than the United States to expand itsherds. In- deed, no country outside of South America is in so good a position as Canada to breed beef cattle in excess of domestic needs. A total population of 12 million head of beef and dairy cattle would seem to be a reason- able target. More animals on more farms would be an added cushion when wheat fails.

An official minimum potato price does not produce for the farmer more than the market will pay. It's effect, however, is to prevent sales at any lower figure and the grower may profit by a later improvement in market conditions, or lose should there be a contrary trend.

The proposal to establish an Illustration Station on Amherst Island in addition to the one on Grindstone is indicative of the grow- ing importance of the Magdalens. Their situation in the centre of the Gulf no longer means that they are isolated but that they are centrally located. 0 t 0

Married replacements of the 27th Bri- gade in Germany will go overseas for 12 months but single men for two years. The result should be an improvement in the standard of efficiency without bringing any added strain on family relationships. There is apt, however, to be a boom in pier head

marriages.

Our weather is not produced in Green- land as was once considered to be the case but bases at Thule and elsewhere are con- sidered valuable in forecasting weather in other parts of the world according to a US. weatherman. It would seem instead that Canadian weather is largely governed by changing conditions in Siberia.

The self-governing colony of New Zea- land became "The Dominion of New Zea- land” this date 1907. By letters patent the designation of governor was altered to ”Governor-General". The first plan for colonizing the islands was put before the British Government by Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Dalrymple but was only proceeded with after the loss of the Am-

What is probably the smallest Boy Scout Troop in England's smallest county is reported under the leadership of two form- er Canadian Scouts. One of the Canueks is a former King's Scout from Nelson, BC. and now with the R.C.A.F. No. 1 Fighter Wing at North Luffenham, England, the other being an ex-Rover Scout from Mont- real. It is a three-Scout troop.

In what way do American and Cana- dian newspapers excel over English pub- lications? A team of 17 British journalists studying the press on this side of the At- lantic- made some 62 recommendations for their own increased efficiency. Notable amongst the recommendations was that they should adopt the generally used "little merchant" newsboy system. Under it. the boys learn the elements of running a busi-

ness.

It is the aircraft industry which usual- ly seems to enjoy a large share of the benefits of modern research. British Rail- ways, however, are building a new 100 mph wind tunnel testing plant at Derby to provide data for the design of locomotives, rolling stock and railway structures. Sub- jects to be studied will include improved train ventilation, wind resistance in high- speed freight trains and cooling of diesel

locomotives.

Economic and social obstacles to the independence of creative workers and their relations with the public, the state and in- ternational bodies are being discussed by delegates representing the visual arts. music, literature, the theatre and the cinema in forty countries, meeting at the first in- ternational conference of artists in Venice. The Conference, which is being convened by Unesco in cooperation with the Biennale, opened with an address by the ltalianpoet, Giuseppe Ungarettl, on "The artist in pre- sent-day society". Problems being discussed will be outlined by painters, Georges Rou- ault and Jacques Viilon, composer Arthur I-Ionegger, writer Taha Hussein, architect Lucio Costa, playwright Marc Connolly, producer Alessandro Blasetti, and sculptor Henry Moore. Committees representing dif- ferent fields of art are dismissing ways of overcoming major dlfficulties- in profes-

sional, social or international spheres.

M. C. A. GARNISE..-

sir.-In the recent past the employees of this Company have been beset with large numbers of garnlshees from the merchants of Charlottetown and their repre- sentatives. The issue has reached such proportions thatwl have con- sidered it imperative to register a complaint against the various merchants via this column.

The garnishee as 3. legal instru- ment of extracting payment from an employee should only be used as a last resort. It is not fair to use it without any consideration to the individual, his dependents, his salary, etc. Many of our em- ployees who are at present garn- isheed are individuals who have obtained profitable employment for the first time in their lives. Many debts owed by these people are debts assumed long ago. It is rather unfair to the individual when he begins employment at a good living wage to be pounced upon by any number of merchants for debts long due. He should be given a chance to regain his bal- ance.

In most Companies when a gar- nishee is placed on an employee he is immediately released. We have not followed this policy at present but it seems necessary when you consider the book work involved in checking of! the cm- ployecs' pay each month. The is- sue has reached such proportions that not long ago a reputable Charlottetown merchant phoned this office and asked for a list or all our employees to see whether or not there were any who per- haps owed him money and whom he could garnlshee. At least two wives of employees have complain- ed to me that they cannot exist with the deductions taken from their husbands' paychecks, which amount sometimes to 5091.. I should think before these merch- ants give credit to their custom- ers, they would investigate .thc customers background and ability to pay. A person proclaiming that he works for M. C.A. should not offer sufficient excuse to obtain credit in large amounts from these merchants.

Maritime Central Airways cm- ploys the second largest number of men on Prince Edward Island. It is a progressive firm which treats itsemployees to many bene- fits. It also likes to protect its employees. Consequently, I should like to submit a plea to the vari- ous mcrchanu of this city to give these employees ii chance to re- deem their debis in their own time and without making thein

As I said before, if ever ii control feature is needed on the credit situation within these vari- ous flrms it should be placed at the beginning, not. Iii. the end. A person goes to a merchant. and asks for credit, sometimes orcr' and above what he can normally pay. when the merchant is told that the person is employed by Maritime Central Airways, it seems to place him in 9. separate cate- 'gory. This should not be.

In the future this office will take a. very dim view of any gar- nlshec that comes from any em- ployee. He will be told that he must settle up himself within the specified period of time otherwise he will be released. I would ask the merchants of Charlottetown to remember this in the future and in u lot of cases to give the em- ployee an even chance to redeem his debts.

ABUSING FISHING PRIAIIILEG ES

Sir, - Now that the trout tlshlng season is over for this year, I think is would be an appropriate time to bring to the attention or the Ftsn and Game Association, those in authority and the general public, some of the abuses and certain con- ditions that could, and should be. in the future corrected.

I have a mill pond and strcnnil near Coleman in which there is an abundance of trout, classed by many as one of the best. fishing streams on the island. The Gov- ernment. took ii upon themselves to makg this even a better stream by building a so-called waste gate for the purpose, no doubt, of making; this an even better trout fishing grounds than it was before, for which I personally was grateful.

There is only one road from the main paved highway to the dam which runs through my yard where children play is great deal of the time during Summer vacation. and I have never objected to the use of this road to the general public flS long as this right. was not abused. (I am always pleased to see tour- ists and other fthermcn from the Island use this road). But unfort- unately, during the past season tnc' abuses were many. The Fish and Game Association erected a sign near the head of the dam as you enter from my house which asks the fishermen to kindly call at my house for permission to fish but an individual took it upon himself to deliberately remove this sign and the manner in which it was rc- moved was not that of 5 govern- ment employee who has the best 'interests of the fishermen at. heart.

Many of the so-called fishermen did not have the courtesy to stop at my house and ask permission to fish, many of whom drove through the yard as if it were a racetrack. endangering the lives of any and all who might happen to be in their path. I-low accident: were avoided. I do not know. Others wok,lt upon inemtelvatto place the dam boards in order to nice the water In the pond, thereby lowering it In the fishing noise to make to enter for A large, ouch. when the fisher- men to: out: catch. the boards were Im or changed by them. or iv result of which the water in the

BEATON'S MILLS REBUILT "We are glad to notice that Mr. Donald Benton, of Cardigan, has succeeded in getting first-class mills in operation at his old stand. It will be remembered that his whole mill property was de- stroyed by fire about a year ago. Not disheartened-although under such circumstances many would surrender-he went steadily and prudently lb work, and replaced the burnt mills by degrees and be- fore long was in readiness to give good satisfaction to his numerous customers. Latterly he has added one of the best grist. mills he could find to his establishment, and is now in a position to give the best satisfaction in every de- partment."

Others dug large holes in the dam looking for bait. as a result or which I found it necessary to haul gravel and clay to repair the dam- sge done. By asking they could and would have been directed to places where bait was plenu.-.11,

I have in mind ..i'lBl. the Govern- ment dld a service to the public and perhaps to myself in building the waste gate but nevertheless this does not give the would-be fishermen or government officials the right to abuse a privilege. All tourists who fished here acted like gentlemen. The abuses were com- mitted by native fishermen. The mere fact or the Government con- structing the waste gate does not give any greater rights to govern- ment officials or the public 'thaii they had before and if the abuses continue next season, I will be compelled to close my road to the public. This I do not want to do and I have been wondering whe- ther or not those abuses are com- mon throughou. the Island, It so. I think those cmploycd by the Government should assist in rem- edying them and show an example to others.

Many of the abuses described rthove are committed on Sunday and I think that fishermen should at. lonst show some respect to those who own tlig fishing stream. As a busy null owner, and as much as I like to see fishermen enjoy them- selves, I sometimes feel that I would enjoy a quiet Sunday at home with- out cars driving through and mak- ing tlicmsclves obnoxious.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Sir,--Being I frequent reader of your fine'papor and an admirer of the way you give space in it for all good works, it came in me that telling a simple story might. help the Protestant Orphanage Drive. A few years ago we were at Plum Island in Massachusetts staying at a beach cottage. As we were strangers it was quite to my amazement that we saw a police patrol wagon parked at ll near-by cottage. Hearing no disturbance it. took me some time to find out. what was going on. The nearby city of Newburyport had quite I fiery mayor besldu. so everywhere, A large number of poor children. The mayor took these children in turns every day to the bench in
