Teachers’ Convention

'l'lie annual convention of the Prince Ed-

ward Island Teachers’ Federation takes place_ this week, and the attendance from both rural and urban schools promises to be large and rep- rcscntative. A number of outstanding educa- tionists are scheduled to give addresses, in- cluding Mr. O. \’. S. Miller, president 0f the Canadian Teachers’ Federation, D1‘. Fletcher Peacock, director of Education for New Bruns- wick, j. A. Partridge, principal of North Bay Normal School, and Major Ian Eisenhardt, na- tional director of Physical Education.

It is hoped that the conference, which is being held at Prince of Wales College hall on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, will throw some light on the teacher shortage problem in rural schools. This shortage has had to be met by the institution of correspondence courses, which have helped to alleviate a serious situa- tion. But these courses should not be regard- ed as a satisfactory alternative, and the sooner we get rid of them and get qualified teachers in every school the better it will be for all con- cerned. ‘

Mr. Lloyd Shaw, Director of Education, in his report covering activities of the Depart- ment for the year ending March 31, 1945, has an informative comment to make 0n this prob- lem. -\fter referring to salary incl-eases given through increased d' trict supplements, service bonuses and special ‘$50 increase for all quali- fied teachers as provided for at the 1945 ses- sion of the Legislature, Mr. Show says:

,“Despite the increase in salaries, the number of teachers holding regular licenses showed a decrease, and of course the number of those teaching under permit showed an in- crease. This is an unfortunate tendency and it is of little comfort to know that the other provinces of Canada are faced with the same problem. In pre-war days approximately one hundred new teachers came into our schools each year. The teacher training classes in Prince of Wales College for the year under review numbered only 38.

“It is quite obvious that the teaching pro- fession is neither attracting nor holding the proper type 0f young person; and this is the ease even in those Provinces where salaries are .much higher than ours. A study of the whole problem in this Province, which study has in- eluded discussions with teachers, parents, trus- tees, and students, leads to the conclusion that there are three main causes for the small num- bcr of young people entering and remaining in the teaching profession. These are:

“1. Small salaries as compared with those of other professions and occupations requiring comparable preparation.

“2. Unsatisfactory living conditions as

~ compared with the living conditions of those who are engaged in business offices in larger centres.

“3. Unsatisfactory working conditions, in- cluding the relations with parents and Boards of Trustees." ,

The Department, Mr. Shaw states, has been working upon this as “one of its maior problems." N0 (loubi the Teachers’ Federation have been too. 'l‘hcre are few subjects of great- er public interest or importance, for 0n it may well (lCDCiNl the success or failure of our whole educational system in these vital post-war years.

B. C. Politicarss’ Pa] British Columbia legislators have raised ilicir sessionzil indmimitics this year from $2,000 ' t0 $3,000. This is .1 staggering sum compared with the $400 indcnmities received by our Is- land legislators. It might be a good idea for

W Premier Jones to point this out when the Do-

inion-Provincial Conference resumes at Ot- fawn, and the question of fiscal need comes up. .;.,. The Vancouver News-Herald, (Independ- f Liberal) reads its legislators a mild lecture

- their action in this case. "The financial plight "B. ‘C. members," it says, "is only part of a

, pit-wide condition created by the present y income tax. Take-home pay of most sal- ‘Vorkers is inadequate to maintain former

‘ ‘mot living. Nearly aii taxpayers are fingered, just asmuch as legislators, by , tagtation which is ilowl but sure-. pg private enterprise and oieing citi-|

judging by the published list of farms transferred to the Government for re-sale veterans, our agriculturists are quite prepared to move out to make room for the rising gen- eration. In Queen's County at least 2o per cent of the purchases are still unpurchased by vet- erans. N0 doubt the other fwo counties would show similar propgrtitzns.‘

George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurienf English black and white artist and novelist, died this date 1896; was an analytical chemisti in early life, but afterwards adopted the pro-i fession of art achieving fame as a Punch artist and book illustrator; he wrote three novels, all of them “best sellers” in their day, Peter Ibbet-i son, Trilby, and The Martian, the second being‘ dramatized and enjoying many years popularity both in LOndOn and through Britain and Am- erica: “She had all the virtues but one."

The Biistard Hotel on Salisbury Plain, one- time hideout of highwaymen and the only inn, in the British Isles to be licensed 0n a six-month] (April-September) basis, is to re-open several years closure. Last entry in the visitors’ book, dated April 3, I941, is that of the King and Queen and military staff officers who vis- ited the inn after watching a Salisbury Plain demonstration. In World War I The Bustard was well known to soldiers of the 1st Can- adian Division part of which was in fact a short i ‘distance away until the severity of the weather forced many of them into huts in the winter of 1914-15.

In his admirable biography of Mr. I. A. Spender, Mr. Wilson Harris says of the invita- tion to Spender to become Hon. Charter Presi- dent of t-he Institute of Journalists for the jub- ilee Year of 1940: “That meant, as he wrote to someone with just satisfaction, recognizing him, as the head of his profession." Why did Mn: Spender feel he had been so highly honoured? Most certainly it was nOt because he had any ambitions still to satisfy. Surely it was because he believed intensely in the lofty mission of British journalism and knew from intimate ex- perience that the _Institute had always stood. and would continue t0 stand, for the unswerving journalistic integrity which had characterized his own life.

U I I U The National Research Council, reported Dean Mackenzie at the annual meeting, had ex- panded during the war from a staff of 300 to

more than 2,000 skilled employees and associ- ed,

ates throughout the Dominion and built $30,- 000,000 worth of new buildings. Canada's scientific resources had been organized "as well as those of any country in the world," with active liaison with London and Washington.‘ Canadian scientists served on the front lines in Africa, Italy, Germany, Japan, New Guinea and other war fTOIltS seeking new scientific data. Every Canadian university and research facil- ity available was put into use and at one time "some of the ‘most distinguished scientists of Canada" were enlisted as private soldiers in older to hold them, Mr. Mackenzie said. More than $5,000,000 was spent on radar develop- ment in Canada but the net cost to the Domin- ion had been nii because sufficient equipment was sold to cover all expenditures. e a s- o

A correspondent of the Edinburgh Scot:- man writes: “In the accounts given in several newspapers of the great freeze of the last week of February, we have seen it stated that the sea at Cladhan Seii Sound, near Oban, was frozen over for the first time within living memory. This sound divides the island of Seii from the mainland and is spanned by s bridge. The re- ports then go on to state that this is "the only brjdge that spans the" Atlantic." This way of putting it, whoever thought of it first, is quite catchy -and interesting, and while it may be true that it "spans the Atlanti ," it is by no means the only one that does. There is abrldgeover the sound that separatesltlie West of Mull is- lands‘ of Uiva snd Gcmetrs, and quite recently

In Police Court here the other day, Magistrate Gilien had occa- sion to commend a youthful princi- pal in one of the cases on his good manners. As quoted, the magis- trate said, "It is very refreshing to meet s young man who knows how to use the word ‘sir’; he must have been brought up in a good home." Now the remarkable thing is that the bench found the young man's elementary politeness a mut- ter for common‘. It indicated that the court found surh simple good conduct s relative rarity. 'I'his is a pity. —Brantford Expositor.

To the many services which Ca- nada has rendered to the Empire and the world during the war must ndw be added a really remark- able contribution toward setting Britain upon her eccmomic feet. The credit of 81.250.000.000 whic the Government of Canada has unequalled

of gifts t

granted follows upon

generosity in the shape and interest-free loans; and must be remembered that Cani- sde‘s generosity has by no means

all-elbow confined to money. All this‘

help has been and will be accord- ed by a community numbering no more than 12.000000 souls. Where the heart is, there hdeed shall the treasure be also. ~Lcndon Daily Telegraph.

A lot of cut-throat tactics have crept into non-meter parking as everyone knows. 80m parkers are not‘ beyond pushing lib or behind unto a restricted zone, just to make room for themselves. Or they'll do it before backing out, inst to simplify their own prob- em. And who hasn't returned to his car to find it wedged tightly between two others, which have been left in gear, with their emer- gency brakes set and doors lock- This happens every day, to someones great inconvenience. Per- haps meters wouldn't end this sort of thing. but at least they provide a minimum oi 20 feet of space for each car. That's not much, but it"s better than nothing, It even might be worth five cents an hour. Any- way, it's s matter on which each car owner can do his own figur- ing. At this stage we're not endors- ing or condemning meters. We're my trying to give some of the pros and cons. —Windscr Star.

Many of the principal men who figured in our early history le here with no stone to mark their ‘graves. We are reminded of therri| and their acts by members of the family who have been more highly I honored. A monument to the Hon. Geo. Wright, Surveyor General, who administered the government at five different periods, is a ar- tlal record of a family mix up with all our eariyxgublic transec- tions. His father, omss Wright, was on the survey with Capt. Hol-| lccid in 1706, and was appointed Surveyor General Sept. 10, 1710 He Iresided with Patterson on Warren Farm, occupying one of those “ex- tensive offices" which the govern- ‘ ment erected. l As stated before, Mr. Wright was ‘taken prisoner by the Americiinsl land conveyed‘ to Boston. He was ‘a su porter of the Governor in his -poiit cal measures, was one of the [commissioners appointed on the suspension of Chief Justice Stewart, and subsequently in 1788i made an assistant _i.udge.

On the memorable field of Wot- erioo a native of Prince Edward Island, then an officer on the staff of the British Army, hiid the honor of escorting Field hfarshai |Blucher to the Iron Duke. This of- ficer was Thomas Wright, son of our first Surveyor General and brother of George Wright, who died in 1842, aged 32 years.

Amcvng many craftsmen whose names are written here, we ob- serve that of James MacDonald, who died in i845, aged 61 years. Mr. MacDonald erected many of the old buildings of the city. In 1812 lie built the old Court House und in i826 the old Kirk of Scotland. Mr. Nathaniel MacDonald, father of James, came here in i778 from New York, with Patterson’s brother, who engaged him to work on the barracks in Charlottetown then in course of erection. He is said t0 have built the first house, which was located on‘ Grafton Street north of Queen Square. He died at Bay Fortune, March l6, i825.

Among the old worthies whose names we trace among the mounds is Arthur Owens of Prlncetown. He died in 1823, aged 0i years, His {children and grandchildren en- gaged in mercantile pursuits, and filled important positions in the Colony.

A stately monument is erected in the east corner of the ground, ‘to the memory of Frances Ca n- ter, wife of Governor Smith. his lgentleman was a brother of John Spencer Smith, British Minister at Constantinople in 1790, and of Ad- miral Sir Sydney Smith, the hero of St. Jean de Acre. From the year i813, when he arrived, to 1824, when he was recalled, the Colony was rajore or less agitated by the imper us and arbitrary manner ‘in which he discharged his duties.

‘rwo men who took an active part in-the politics of that dsy are buried here, namely Juries B. Palmer and Charles Blnns, Esq. Their forensic abilities were test- ed in op osition to each other in their var ed opinions of Magus Charts and the Bill of Rights.

In a shady spot reposes the re- mains of Wm. Dcckendorff, liq" one of -Mr. Binns’ clients. He was s man of integrity and a member of the Assembly during the troublesome days of, Governor
