Rural Teachers

It will be noted that these ere minimum salaries. Rural teachers receiving more than the mini- mum from the district receive duplicate supplement from tiie Department up to $70. Service bonuses are also paid at the coni- mencement of the fourth. eighth. twelfth and sixteenth years of service.

While it cannot be eraued that salaries are now such as to et- tract and hold in. the profession a sufficient supply of the proper type of young men and women. it cannot be denied that the very substantial increase set forth above will go far in dealing justly with m, “wrung profession and im- proving the status of education generally.

The staff of the Prince of Wales College, the members of which have been giving efficient and de- voted service at salaries sadly out out of line with teachers in sim- ilar institutions elsewhere, were also given substantial increases.

‘Ieaoher Supply

Iibr the school year bezinnina July 1. 1947, the supply o! quell- fied teachers available improved considerably. There are still no. sufficient to staff all schools. but the number oi’ penrnits issued t0 teachers for the current school year was less‘ than half tiie num- ber issued for the previous school year. Increased salaries and the conducting of a five week sum- mer school for professional train- ing have been in lame Pbrt re- sponslble for the improvement in the teacher supply.

It is disappointing, however, to find that the umber of Willi! persona choosing the teacher training course at Prince of Wale! College has not shown any sub- stantial increase for the current ooijego year. There ere fifty-two taking the course.

Conside la_ interest was evi- denced in everal of the centres. The greatest impetus, however. was given to the improved school programme through e vote of 860,- 000 provided at the last session of the Legislature, whereby districts wishing to build new schools or improve the existing school might receive departmental aid on the following basis:

For a new school building, a euminot to exceed $000 for one room and $250 for each additional room up to a maximum of $1,250, provided that the district spends at least an equal amount and pro- vided that the school site and the completed project be approved by the Department of Education.

For improvements to schools. e. sum not to exceed $300 for one room and $100 for each additional room up to a maximum of $000, provided that the district spends at least an equal amount and further provided that the project, which may include remodelling, lighting, painting, sanitation, fur- niture, enlarged grounds. major playground equipment proved heating facilities. is first submitted to and approved by the Supervisor of schools.

Eight new schools, having e total of fourteen classrooms, have been completed or are nearing comple- tion while e very large number have made extensive improve- ments under this programme. These improvements include; bet- ter lighting, painting, enlarged grounds, better sanitary facilities. new furniture and equipment. It is to be hoped that this programme will be carried on until all our rural school buildings shall. be worthy of the great task which

Health s. Physical Education '

The Physical Fitness Programme is carried on as a joint project with the Federal Department of Health and Welfare. Despite the very limited grant for this purpose. Colonel Reid has succeeded in expanding the work considerably- Ever increasing numbers of rural communities are becoming active- ly interested; a full time‘ in- gtructor in physical education was added to the staff of Prince of Wales College in September; the Junior Red Cross, the Red Cross Nutrition Services in the schools and instruction in First Aid have all shown expansion during the period under review,

Vocational Education

Personally, the writer does not like the title given to this section. All true education partake: of the vocational as well as the cultural. The term is commonly used, how- ever, u. indicate those phases of education that have to do with the “more practical” activities.

Apart from commercial courses

our efforts during the past few years have been devoted almost exclusively to the training of vet- erans. This has been a joint pro- ject of Dominion and. Provincial Governments. Since the beginning of veterans‘ training, more than -six hundred students have been trained, either in the vocational Wing on the Prince of Wales Col- lege ground or under the direction of the school. Many others wish- ing specialized courses had ar- rangements made for~ training in centres outside the province. New that. the veterans‘ training is drawing to a close. plans are being made for the extension of this work to the youth of t-he province generally. As a beginn- ing the Youth’ Training Classes, conducted by the Department of Agriculture. are this year for the first time being held in the Voca- tional Wing. The province has lti the Voca- tional Wing a well "built, well equipped school. It is to be hoped that many of our youth will take advantage of the courses which vidll- be arranged and offered, re- placing the veterans’ courses soon to be completed.

Special Activities

The use of the radio in the school is becoming more common. The Kinsmen’: splendid gift of radio equipment to the schools of Charlottetown gave these schools. receiving facilities second to none in the Maritime Provinces. Our

Visual Education, both in the schools and for adult groups, has been well maintained and extend- ed by Mr. Chandler and his staff. A very creditable film library of about five hundred films has been collected and classified. Lists of these have been prepared. bound and distrlbtited to interested groups. The Music Pbstival Al- eoelation had a most successful year and now the Drama Ibstivel movement, another child of the Women's Institute. is developing much interest in many commun- itlee. Provision has been made for a wider use of library books in edioola and among the teach- ers. All these activities indicate e commendable awakening to the need for an enriched community life. This is the aim of the Adult Education council which is seek- ing to coordinate the work of various grows and organizations in these less formal aspects of education. _ ‘

Couespondenee Instruction

This service has grown steadily since its inception in 1944. For the school year 1945-1946, the number of pupils served in this way was 208; for the school year 1046-47, the number had increas- ed to S01. This was probably the peak as the improved teacher eup- ply wiu likely result in fewer pu- pils asking for correspondence In- struction. It is interesting to note that in June last, five pupils pala- ed the Entrance Examination to Prince of Wales College having taken their instruction by Corre- aponderice. v A Glance Ahead

The landings of cod and mack- erel held up very well, but hake and herring were scarce in almost all areas during the year. A larger portion of cod, hake, her- ring and mackerel was canned and sold for relief purposes, etc.

The catch of oysters and smelts held up well with good prices pre- vailing for these varieties.

Irish moss is still a substantial producer of revenue, although the qua-ntlty taken was not as large as in past years. It has been real- ized by those engaged in this in-_ dustzry that, to hold present mar- kets and to expand further. Prince Edward Island moss must be of a quality and grade as good or bet- ter than is produced anywhere else. With this objective in view considerable educational work was done during the year to improve the quality.

It is proposed to institute a system of inspection and grading of Irish moss during the coming year.

Again the differ- ence between the prices is wide but Denmark can be paid in star-ling and Britain hopes to sell her enough goods to keep trade in balance.
