Federal Building Proiect

Hope was expressed in these columns yesterday, in welcoming the new Federal Minister of Public Works, Hon. Robert lvinters, to the Province, that the Min- lste.r's visit would be productive of results In connection with the long-delayed Fed- eral Building project for Charlottetown. Mr. Winters has brought good news with 'llm in this connection. His announcement lastcvening that tenders will be called for the new building during the first" half of the coming year is the first concrete assu"- mice we have had since the site was ac- quired and the plans were drawn up three years ago. .

The architect's drawing of the proposed new building, made at that time, is repub- lished in today's Guardian. There may be minor changes in the design, but the Min- ister had no information to give on this point last evening and it is to be presumed that the plans will be along the same gen- eral line. The building will require to be large enough to accommodate the various Federal departmental offices ed throughout the city. The original plan called for an imposing eight-storey edifice, of steel and concrete faced with stone, at an approximate cost of one million dollars. The cost today may be considerably higher.

Apart from the need of a. building of this kind in Charlottetown, the construc- tion will provide much-needed employment locally, and will in every way be of great benefit to the City and Province generally.

cattle on The lncmsoi

The June 1 livestock survey based on replies by farmers themselves, to a mail questionnaire from the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in co-operation with provincial departments of agriculture, indicates that numbers of cattle on farms since June'1, 1952, increased in all provinces but Mani- toba, averaging about six per cent for all provinces excluding Newfoundland.

The increase in the Eastern Provinces is about seven per cent and in the four Western Provinces five per cent. The Mari- time Provinces each registered an increase of nine per cent, Ontario seven per cent and Quebec six, per cent. In the West, Alberta alone registered a nine per cent in- crease, Saskatchewan and British Columbia four per cent and Manitoba a decrease of five per cent.

The Province with the largest cattle population is Ontario with 2.933.400 head. It was largest not only as to milk cows, but ”other cattle” as well. Quebec, sec- ond in point of numbers, but with a million fewer cattle than Ontario, had nearly as many milk cows, but less than half as many other cattle. I

Alberta. with only 9,800 fewer cattle of all kinds than Quebec, had about 30 per cent of the number of milk cows in either Ontario or Quebec, but 618,0()O more other cattle than Quebec. '

Sask'atchewan, third highest in total cattle numbers, had only 4,000 fewer milk cows than Alberta, but 470,000 fewer cat- tie. Nevertheless, her 1,150,000 other cat- tle nearly equalled the combined total of other cattle in Quebec and'the three Mari- time Provinces. .

Manitoba, notwithstanding a decrease of five per cent, had 150,000 head more than was reported for the three Maritime Provinces, despite about 30,000 fewer milk cows.

Canada's total population was estimated at 9,713,600, composed of 3,146,200 mill; cows and 6,567,400 other cattle. (Mill: cows: cows and heifers two years old and over, kept for milk.)

So let's not deplore what have been called ”lower standards” in teaching. If there is a way to attract younger girls into teaching, for a few years at least, then let's use it.

"And lastly, there is the public's atti- tude which can be improved. Teaching is not attractive to many young people be- cause of the social load it carries and the feeling. rightly or wrongly, that the teach- er must forever be watching his step."

The fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Royal Signals Corps opening at King- ston today is a -matter of keen interest locally. The Signals unit in this Province even antedates the formation of the Corps, and down through the years, covering two world wars, Island Signalmen have served with outstanding distinction in this import- tant branch of military defense. A detailed story of Signals activities in this Province appears in today's issue, and it is one in which all our citizens have reason to take pride.

For the last decade or two it has re- quired a special kind of gullibility to swal- low the pretentions of the U.S.S.R. with re- spect to agricultural progress. ,.Reliable statistics have been almost non-existent.

Livestock in the U.S.S.R. is ap- proximately nine million head -fewer than when collectivizatlon first began. Grain yields are not calculated in actual yield, but estimated from the standing crop; and even so are no more, than seventeen bushels per acre even when calculated 'on the metric qulntal of 220.4 pounds.

SCHOOL ROOM DISCIPLINE

Sir.-With the present scarcity

'of teachers all over Canada, and

the tendency in substitute un- trained students in positions of responsibility, some interesting

facts Ibout normal training comes to light. Though I cannot explain the miracle that I took over I class of 35 pupils between the ages of 6 and 16 years, when I was but 16 years old, and carried through a. successful year as sub- stitute teacher not yet mature enough to get a license, I see more clearly now, the reasons for success Ind failure.

Many promising teachers, in fact, most gifted teachers, "have" to learn by experience the mean- ing of "rule by love", where chil- dren are concerned. and spend their first years finding that the "rule. by love" as they anticipated it and hoped to put it into prac- tice. was just a false mirage that pictured a group of children led, taught and governed by kindly re- quests, and perfect freedom of ac- tion. It turned out just a dream. The youngsters after hearing a few gentle requests and admoni- lions, fitted lhelr pre-school free- dom to the room, and forgot the teacher existed. It was such a lovely dream of philanthropic goodness! Too bad it couldn't have been real.

A few terms of principalshlp have shown me "failures and suc- cesses" with primary children of which I now speak. in some in- stances, all went well, the un-' trained teacher, or the inexperi- enced one, wlth A little help went over fine: but. some others learn- cd or became convinced almost at once that "rule by love" was all nonsense. That is. unless you can teach and endure a cataclysm of noise, disorder and confusion.

But. I would assure teachers that it is not ti dream. after all- Good news! It is real. Young children free as the wind in the hills, and lovable as flowers "can" be ruled by "love". The trouble that destroyed their beautiful In- ticlpatlons was that men did not understand the principle of "ruling by love"; they did not under- stand. or study the children they had to rule. first of all. Young children who have noi;"been un- der discipline are comparable to wild birds or rabbits. lovable, in- teresting, Ind potential. However. you cannot rule a rabbit or any wild bird by love, until you have captured him and penned him up where he can't escape. until he learns to trust you. and until- thls is the important part.-you have shown him, in I language he can grasp, that obedience to rules Ind laws with thought for others, contributed to greater free- dom, hspplness and safety. than the false mirage that he has for- merly known as freedom.

This in short means, that though it involves I slight jar to the young child's personality. he must be "firmly" managed in the beglnnlng.'Ind nailed down to l! few important rules. which he is not permitted to violate-enough to hold him in order. "And MIC!- while he adjusts himself without shock. to his new environment. Then, II he bebomep adjusted you may, rsduslly relax firmness, Ind substl ute rcsson and request for unquestloned command. granting more Ind more freedom, II he learns to think of others about him, and move quietly in all his Ictivltles.

Taxation in the modern world hits authors harder, perhaps, than any other class of workers. The recent story of Kurt W. Msrek who spent four long weary yesrs writing an international best- seller ln the non-fiction field- Godl, Grnves Ind Scholars-sold the film rights for 525,000 and now finds himself in debt for tax- ation, is a remarkable example. The cruel necessity of income tax steals the rewards of those who create often with grest labour. works thIt enrich the stream of human thought.

It may be that this is caused by I misunderstanding of the craft of writing. The first of an author's gifts is not, as many be- lieve. a lively imagination, but a capacity for hard work involving long hours It a desk.

Joseph Conrad, author of the most brilliant sea stories of the age, lived It I time when income tax was not the bogey that it is today and for years could not make-I decent living. I-lls pro- found sense "of responsibility to his craft and his readers often caused him to sit a whole day writing I single page. At the end he was exhausted by the inner battle of strlving'for self-expres- slon. Finally, the British Govern- ment recognized his devoted ser- vices to mankind and gave him fl small pension, sufficient to keep him until his royalities increased.

Dostolevsky, speaking of the labour: of creation, said: "At first. .everything is wrong, but

after a year of effort. I begin to get it right." Thomas Gray was intermittently revising his Elegy in I Churchyard for thirteen years. Dr. Samuel Johnson endur- ed such labours and hardships as I writer that he bitterly warned others never to write except for 'money. ” o o .

Rewards For Writing

Spectator

many writers are cowardly and have to devise systems of self- dlscipline to get themselves to their desks. Schiller. the German poet-dramatist, chlldishly main- tained that he could not write unless there wass smell of over- rlpe apples in his desk drIwers. When his housekeeper provided them he thought of other excus- es. Rare are the writers that do not flinch from the pslnful task of creation, even when ideas are striving to be born.

Although some governments rc- cognlze the labour involved and allow authors to spread the earn- ings from I book over the per- iod spent in writing it. one won- ders whether thls alleviation is sufficient to encourage the pro- duction of high standard works that are essential in every gener- ation. All writers would agree that it is not, and those who,resl- lze the national importance of a corps of men of letters are on their side.

I C

It has been calculated that in Britain an author has to write 300,000 words a year in order to maintain is standard of living equivalent to that enjoyed by a bank accountant. Enduring work cannot be produced at this rate. Many English authors, anxious to give only of their best, have mig- rated to country cottages. Their Canadlan brethren face similar problems Ind many of them, rs- ther than pander to man into. have to find other employment that places additional creative strains on them.

But worst of all is the author's feeling that having spent years learning his craft. for poor return. taxation will .deprivo him of much of the reward if he should -write ll best-seller. Any solution would be a complicated one, ' " t.
