Educational Reforms ‘Discussed By Secretary fOf Teachers Federation

i v the adoption of

Educational reform was the sub- of an interesting address given the diocesan

. Reginald MacDonald, general secretary of the Prince Ed- ward Island Teachers’ Federation.

Referring to a recent address by Prof. Lloyd shaw, director oi edu- CBUOH. Mr. MacDonald noted that most of the reforms advocated by Prof. Shaw coincided with the cilflflkes which Federation officials

"‘"‘—- brave been looking forward to in ____=:|'t e past number

__ of years. We" are indeed fortunate," he said. in securing the services of

our Province and I feel

that before too long some marked improvement will be noted in our educational system. ProiessorShaw has given us an insight into some , of the objectives and plans hs pro-

poses for the improvement of edu- cation in our province. It would ‘ seem to be our duty, then, as pub- , lic-spirited citizens to make a

thorough study of his proposals, and, if convinced that they are ‘sound to cooperate to the fullest . extent with our time and our abil- liy tovrards the fulfilment oi these plans and objectives.

“The Women's Institutes which I feel sure many of you are members have done a good work and are largely responsible for the improvements both inside and outside oi the more up-to-date schools in our province.

“Your motto is ‘For God and Country.‘ I do not think you can carry on an greater work than in help ng to oster and develop the character and citizenship of the children in your respective com- munitics.

“I think we will all agree with Professor Shaw when he defines the objective oi education for citizenship as tl_l_e__full develop- f“ _ nicflfof a our children mental-

Many Changes Necessary "In order to effectively promote this objective many changes 1y in the organization and financing, equipping and beauti- fying oi our schools and their sur- rolindings; in the training. selec- tion and placing of teachers; in the fitting of our curriculum to pro- vide as Professor Shaw says ‘a wide and varied course to the pupils in the secondary grade levels. It will involve also a tremendous amount of study, planning and co- operation on the part of the gen- eral public. "We in this Province are a very onservative people. We do not like change.

our second pro- posal, one which was the keynote of r. J. A. MacMillans address to the teachers at their annual banquet, any great measure of permanent progress can be achiev- ed or maintained. I refer to the setting up in our Province of a small, permanent. non-political, re- presentative board of education. That was suggested by the i929 MacMillan Royal Commission of Education. I aln of the opinion that those who have been entrust- ed with the great responsibilities and worries incident to that of- fice might very well have desired to be rid of these worries and re- sponsibilities. Nevertheless, I do not think this can be brought about without a strong, urgent and general demand from the public.

sal, which has to do with the inancing of education. As you know there are in our Province at

the only solution would be to adopt Mr. Shaw's plan.

“To cover this phase oi the sub- ject thoroughly would take more time than I have tonight. Many advantages come to my mind but these should be taken up later when you study the plan. Now; ii Grade XI and later Grade XII be added to the course in central schools throughout the Province’ that would mean P.W.C. would be relieved oi the necessity of teach- ing this work, so consequently an improved course could be offered there, either two years be added to the present course or an Exten- sion Department similar to that at St. Francis Xavier be added.

Rural Schools

Grade VI or VII. In that we fully concur. the onl difference being that we propose for the time be- ing that Grade VIII be included in the Primary schools. and that in cases where the geographical position of the school was such that pupils were too far from larger centres, the full course be continued and that well-paid, ef- ficient teachers be placed in those schools.

“Mr. Shaw's suggestion that Cen- tral Schools be established at con- veillont centres within reach of those desiring such a course and. that along with the usual High school subjects ‘a wide and varied course be offered pupils,’ likewise falls in line with our proposals.

"We suggested also that Grade XI and later Grade XII subjects be taught at these central schools to pupils wishing to take such a course.

Mr. Shows point that sinde we imposed compulsory attendance on our children we have the respon- sibility oi offering them a choice of vocational subjects was taken and struck me as a most original idea. Under our present one-room system where the teach- or is expected to teach from Grade I to Grade X it is at 1iresent im- possible to cover the course of stu- dies at all thoroughly, I know be-- cause for l5 years I tried to do it,

we wish to give pupils voca- training. scientific agricul-

tractive community centres pro- vided with modern civilized com- forts and conveniences, these might gradually work their way into our rural homes and might} be a decided influence in keeping , as your president expressed it ‘our . children. the real wealth of our land’ in this Province to promote a happier and more prosperous social and economic life.

“In speaking to an educator a few years ago I asked him what he considered to be the most re- tarding feature to our educational advancement and he answered: ‘Lack of permanence in the teach- ing profession.’ Indeed our Sup- erintendent. Dr. Shaw. has made similar statements many times in his annual reports. If we are to have a sound system oi education and give our children the best possible educational opportunities. we must endeavor to induce the

the present time upwards of 440 financial units. That would be ap- proximately one for every 200 of our po ulation. Each unit is rc- sponsibe for the condition of the school buildings and their sur- roundings; for the equipment with- in these schools, and largely. since they vote the supplement, for the teachers’ salaries. The trustees in these units are solely responsible for the type of teacher to whom the entrust the welfare of the chlidren. As a consequence many inequalities can be noted. The school cess on the $100 valuation oi property runs from 10c in a rich- er district to $1.00 in a poorer. We find a poor. inexperienced teacher attempting to teach '70 pupils. while an experienced, capable teacher is trying to put in time with l0. An- other teachcr with only 20 pupils may be receiving more pay than one with over 60 pupils. "These are but a few of

many inequalities which exist and ‘

they may all be traced directly to' our extravagant system of small district administration and financ- in

8.

"Contrast our system with its 440 units for a population of 93.000 with England and Wales 35 units for approximately 43,000,000 popu- lation and 5 units of administra- tion for all Scotland. Most of the British Dominions have discarded the small district system. South Africa having the advantage of be- ing an older union never did adopt the small disrict unit system and has but one unit for the whole un- 10h

"In our Dominion Alberta has adopted the larger unit system. 0_n- tario has several municipal units. Nova Scotia has i9 county units. New Brunswick has several county units and most of the other pro- vinces are taking steps to provide the larger unit system.

Uniform Levy

“Now what we propose is first of all that our Province be made into one unit for the purpose of fin- ancing education and that a uni- form levy be placed on the pro- perty throughout the Province ac- cording to its value. That would eliminate district supplements where the small poorer districts, have such a disadvantage as com- ' pared with the larger, richer dis- tricts

"We recommended that the re- organized board of education be given complete charge of the fin- ancing of education. the building and repairing of schools. and the placing and paying of teachers.

“The next step which we ad- vocated has been well dealt with’ by Mr. Shaw in his address. 11c proposed that the small district schools remain, eliminating those that are unnecessary, but that teachers in those schools be rc- quired to teach only to the end of
