Annual Dinner 0f Federation Last Evening

The annual dinner of the P. E. I. Teachers Federation took place last night at the Charlottetown

Hotel and was largely attended- The sets of honour were the Rev. ther 0’l-ianley of St. Dun-

stasrs University; Dr. Steele, Prin- cipal of Prince of Wales College, and Mrs. Steele; Professor Blan- chard, Vice-Principal of Prince of‘ Wales College, and Mrs. Blan- chard; Mr. P. S. Bradley, Secre- Wly 01 the Board of Education; and the guest speaker, Dr. J. A. MacMillan.

Pihesident J. Pius Callaghan pre- e

Dr. MacMillan gave an inspiring address on the future of education.

1n his opening remarks, the Doctor pointed out that Canadian democracy was no accident but the direct result of the high intel- lectual level of the people. This high level, he asserted, had been brought about by the educational s

ystem.

However. this system was far from what it should be. It is in the same position now, said Dr. MacMlllan. as it wss when the Royal Commis- sion made a study oi it back in 1929. It is still conducted “by one Superintendent, one Secretary, and one stenographer."

1t is useless. the speaker main- tained. io expect any great im- provement so long as politics gov- erns the Educational Board. A Board to be efficient mew‘. be non- polltical and non-biased.

Yet he did not consider tile sit- uation hopeless. He did not be- lieve that a people who spent $150,- 000 last year in car licenses and nearly $111010“) in intoxicating liquor, were unwilling to spend more -money for the education of their children were the placed squarely before them, "Few people were aware." he said "that our Provincial Government paid out more money last year for 01d
