Moncton last Tuesday brought to- gether representatives of farm or- ganizations to jointly consider problems affecting Maritime agri- culture.

At the Directors meeting lowing. Louis O'Connor.

foi- past

president of the P. E. I. Federa-

tion was elected president of the Maritime organization. Mr. O'Con- nor's appointment is a well deserv- I-rl recognition of the quality of leadership displayed as the P. E. 1. organization. While the Maritime Federation .5 not so closely linked with the individual farmer as is the case in P. E. 1. yet. nevertheless, ts officers keep in very close touch with any developments that may

affect agriculture in the Maritlmes.

The resolution considered at this meeting will be discussed at the Eastern conference in Montreal and will serve as a basis for de- veloping the policy of the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture.

Among the resolutions consider-

ed and passed at Moncton were the following: A request for the continuation

of the freight assistance policy on feed grains as a permanent feat- ure of our economy. The Mari- time Federation was also asked to secure an accurate breakdown on the cost involved in marketing Western grain.

A resolution which we expect will provoke considerable discus- sion in the West Was One sug- gesting the closing of the Winni- p Grain Exchange and the giv- H310 the Government Wheat Board authority to negotiate prices on Western feed grains.

Delegates at this meetln'g want- ed a reduction of tariffs on goods from the Sterling Areas. more barter agreement with foreign countries and an increasing use of food and agriculture organiza- titfng of the United Nations to make supplies of food available in deficiency areas.

Lin considering the butter sit- uation resolutions were passed calling for the imposing of flut- ies on oils R0ll'Il

icy of floor -prices on butter.

The meeting felt that the man-

ufacturers had been pushing prices in anticipation of

UP price

control and the Canadian Federa-

tion of Agriculture was asked to

watch carefully such increases particularly on fertilizers and basic form supply materials. A

demand was also made that the Federal Government be asked investigate recent increases fertilizer prices.

The Canadian Federation Agriculture was asked to igate a more equitable basis for establishing freight rates as an al- ternative to the percentage in- creases now causing such a mark- ed handicap to the extremities DI the country.

Resolutions endorsing quota mar- kcting of potatoes and the control of the Cape Tormentine-Borden Ferry by a commission or the D0- partmcnt of Transport rather than the C. N. R. were passed.

Our Annual Meeting

The annual meeting new mi Tliiirld-y Wls well attended and giscussions indicated a good "an. erstanding of Federation actlvit. lea and agricultural problems.

Addresses by the Hon. Mr. Ba- ker. W. R. Shaw. and Mrs. Mal. colm MacLeod were listened to with close attention. The -1-inn Mr. Baker's statement that it was the intention of the Deparment to provide adequate veterinary serv. ices was an encouraging one, The Minister intimated also that con. sideration would be given the Problem of providing better sires for the use of cattle breeders in this Province.

Mrs. MacLeod. and W. R, simw demonstrated their ability to make Road use of their experience and observations in Europe.

The resolutions passed at the meeting commended the Potato MIFIWIIIHR Board for itsfwork and also suggested that the Board consider carefully the quota mar. kellnl 0! potatoes and the regis- tration of growers.

Grassland improvement was dealt with in resolution calling for action by the Provincial Depart- mllnt of Azrlcuiture and the Char- lottetown Experimental Station in providing information and gui- dance designed to create interest in this important phase of agrl. culture.

The Public Utilities Commission was asked to make a survey of the actual condition and improve- ment required on one rural Tele- Dhone Company. This survey would serve to provide information for all the others. The commit- tee was also asked to take steps to advise the rural Telephone Cos. of the necessity of improvement in their facilities.

The committee also favored the control of the car ferry service by (&Cl:mI;ISSIOn rather than by the

A resolution supporting the de- mand by Prince County Potato Dealers for improvement in wharf and shed facilities at Summersidc was also passed. .

At the meeting of Provincial Directors - Charles Yeo. Sher- brooke. was elected president. with Louis McGuire. Morcll. and Earl ings, Mount Herbert. as vice- presidents. The executive of the Provincial Federation new con- sists of Charles Yeo. Louis 0'- Connor. Louis McGuire. Earl lngs. Mrs. Russell Roper. Frank Jav- dlne. Ernest Underhay. R. A. Profitt and E. D. Reid.

The members of the policy com- mittee had a difficult task to D9?- form. their report contained among other suggestions the foilowlnizr "Education is the basis of suc- cess in any undertaking and we must realize that there is a great need of Federation field men whose job it would be to keep in close touch" with individual dis- trial; by being available for meet- ings and explaining Federation policies and the Problems 0'33" with by the Directors."

Concept Of

The following excerpts from the Pr ” llnl address of Dr. L. W. Shaw. Deputy Minister and Di- rector of Education for this Pro- vince, are from tho recently is- sued post-convention number of "Canadian Education", containing the oiflciai report of the 21th an- nual convention of the Canadian, Education Association at Van- couver, B.C.. last autumn, at which Dr.-Shaw presided:

"The Canadian Education Aa- eociation never attempts to lay down a blueprint either for Can- ada as a whole or for any Pro- vince or group of Provinces. With- out infringlng upon the right: of any,. however, I believe that this Association can, and indeed should, study the pattern of Canadian edu- ' cation; for there is such a pattern I despite the fact that we have; eleven different systems. Without; presuming to indicate to any Pro-i vince what it should or should not do. the C.E.A.. as I think of it. can make at least one valuable contribution which I should like to mention.

"Many of you. no doubt. are familiar with a recent book by Jesse Stuart, the Kentucky moun- lain school teacher, in which he tells of his experience as a teacher and to which he gives the title The Thread That Runs 50 Truei Stuart tells us that he got the title on the first day he taught school, as he listened to the mountain child- ren playing a game accompunied by a jingle which began: The needle's cye that does supply the thread that runs so true.' New I am going to suggest that the C.E. A. may serve as that needle's eye to supply a thread which. to my mind, is vital to any system of edu- cation. That thread, I have chosen to call the oneness of education.

"Modern psychology has pretty well convinced us. I think, of the onenes or unity of the individual learner. Of course the learner has a body. of course he has a mind and emotions, feelings. in- terests and aptliudes. We are quite aware of the fact that we cannot send his mind to school and keep his body. iI'II-S interests and -his iiptitudea at home. We must semi the whole person to school. and the education experi- ences ihroug-h which we lead him, whether inside the school or out. must take into consideration the whole being.

"is the school, then. the only educational agency? Certainly not. The -home, the church, the com- munity with all its agencies good or bad, are all co-partners with the school in the great work of education. The Home and School Association is founded upon the:

very assumption. Within the framework of the school we find convenient divisions -- elementary, secondary. university, vocational, professional, cultural, physical, m.at.hc.rnatical, scientific. classical- all convenient but terribly dan- gerous l-f we who educate. whether inside the school or out. are not working in close partnership with all others interested in education.

"I must conlfes that such terms as vocational education. classical education. physical education. pro- fessional education. as they are frequently used. leave me a bit cold. Note that I have said -'as they are frequently used! Of course in our educational plan- ni.n-g it is convenient, and indeed necessary, to arrange for various phases of the work with varying emphases -- all well and good if we keep in mind this essential loneness' of the individual and the consequent essential 'oneness' in his development.

There is a tendency, however. to think of a type of education - physical. vocational, classical as entirely separate from all other types, and unfortunately in spe- cializing in these fields we who educate have frequently lost sight of this 'onencss' of which we have been thinking.

"it is gratifying to note. how-. ever. that although there is that tendency to think of education in

terms of these divisions which have been cited, there is on the other side a steadily increasing cffori on ihe part of individuals. organizations, and institutions to take the more comprehensive View based upon the concept of unity.

”Wc scc it, for example, in the field of secondary education in the COIWDOSIIC school program, rath- cr than in the so-called academic schools on the one hand and the so-called vocational schools on the oiihcr. How refreshing it is to be able to report the interest atid co-opc-ration of industry and labour on the one hand, and the Universities Conference on the other to the end. that this unity might be strengthened.

"Is the university, for example. concerned with secondary school or elementary school education? Most certainly it is - not only because it draws its student body from these schools, but as well because the school is just a part of all the experiences and activi- ties and discipline which are be- ing provided for an ever-lncrea.s- ln.g number of young people whe- ther or not they are proceeding to the university.

”I think that this viewpoint with reference to the loneness' of the educational process is well developed in an article by Hessen entitled 'Educaiion and Economic L'ife' and appearing in the Year Book of Education for 1949. This refers to a conflict between voca- tional and academic or general education but it illustrates well the point we are considering: 'We have seen ithat, even as in England and Russia where the contrast between liberal' and lvocational' education was marked in a particularly strong way, recent developments move in is direction of overcom- ing the traditional antinomy. Eng- lish educatlonists, just as their American colleagues, recognize now that lgenei-al' and Ivocationai' education can and ought to be blended. They even seek for an organic isynt'hcsis' of both!

"Again. says I-lessen in further discussing this wasteful con-flict among those who educate. ill a. subject (whether as theoretical as Greek grammar or as eminently practical as cooking) is taught. with regard to the inner develop- ment of the pupil's personality the teaching belongs to general or lib- eral education. if. on the con- trary. the some material is taught first and foremost for the sake of an outward aim as a mere utility -- the teaching is not lib- cral but vocationaif

"Assuming that the individual learner Ls a unit or entity and should be developed as such, as- suming that individuals differ in interests. aptitudes, and types of ability, and assuming further the lonen-aw of education. then it would seem that education today has at least two major concerns-,- onc the kind of teaching that shall be done. and the other the main- taining of that thread of unity throughout the entire program."
