Teaching Standards

At the present time there are approximately 8.000 persons serving as teachers in Canada without any professional training and nearly 18.- 000 whose education and training aie below the prescribed minimum of the province in which they teach. This being Education Week, it is well worth pondering the signifi- cance of these figures.

The Canadian Teacheis' Federa- tion points out that raising teaching standards will help to reduce, not increase, the teacher shortage. This seeming paradox is explained by the fact that teacher drop-out is much more responsible for the present teacher shortage than an actual lack of recruits. If entry standards were higher. misfits and those who use teaching as a temporary means of employment would be kept out.

The teacher in today's world has a big job. It is not just one of hear- ing lessons and marking papers. He must have sufficient training, insight and leadership ability to develop the attitudes that are the basis of true (lanadian democracy. Nothing but

the best is good enough for this vital responsibility.

The. Canadian School Trustces' Association has recommended ”tlial

in this instance. and they scorcd a brilliant personal triumph. But they will doubtless be the first to pay tribute to their Alma Mater. and particularly to Rev. F. L. Cass. moderator of the College Debating Society, for the excellent training they received. Their success reflects favorably not only on S.D.L'. but on this Province generally. and all our citizens will join in congratulating them most heartily.

Newfoundland Trade

For many years Newfoundland has provided good markets for this Province's agricultural products. Un- til recently the trade was pretty much it one-sided affair, mainly be- cause Newfoundland produced very few articles which this Province could use. Last year. however, as was pointed out by Mr. Saviile in seconding the Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne, ii good many articles were imported from our sister Province; not in sufficient volume to balance our exports but still enough to demonstrate our good intentions. 1 This import business will have to be stepped up considerably, if our markets in Newfoundland are to be retained and developed. In recent years many small factories produc- ing the kind of goods which this Province must import have started operations in Newfoundland; and there is a growing feeling among Newfoundland business .men and Government officials that P. E. I. should deal with them to a much greater extent than has been the case hitherto. This view finds ex- pression in the Newfoundland press from time to time; and frequently there are hints that Nova Scotia, which also sends farm products across the Straits and would like to send more. is doing better in this respect than is this Province. it must be noted that the New- foundland Government is doing everything possible to encourage farming on a large scale. Already it is being suggested that within a few yeais the Province will be self-sup- porting in poultry and eggs. Some of the biggest poultry farms in the Maritimes are situated near St. John's. and they are being extended all the time. Cattle and hog raising, too, has been developed I hundred- fold in the last seven or eight years. when the Trans-Canada Highway is completed from Port Aux Basques to St. John's-it is hoped to have I passable road for the entire 600 mile stretch by next fall-agriculture will , take great strides forward; for the, and Willem tiuuugi: the best land

the minimum standard of certifica- tion for teachers be two years of teacher education beyond the senior matriculation and that no person be given a professional certificate un- less and until he attains this stand- ard."

There is no doubt that better salaries and better teaching facilities will help to attract better teachers. But. most of all. we need conviction of the central importance of educa- tion in the future of Canada. In a country so blessed with natural re- sources. it would be folly indeed to neglect the mental and spiritual re- sources needed for their proper de- velopmcnl and use. Education alone can provide them.

Governor Ribicoff of Connecticut must be an unusual type of politic- ian.

It is claimed that the new system will reduce the number of technicians needed for the opera- tion. The gun will contain several doses and a mechanism will control the amount for each inoculation. It has the approval of Dr. Salk, the- vaccine's discoverer. So far it has

been used only on a group of volun- teers.

!lli-Il.BOL'RNE:- Ten years ago SCIRO mustralian Scientific and industrial Research Organization) be-can in experinir.-nt in making artificial rain. This is an undertak- ing that is fraught with moment- oils p0SSll)lllllCS for a country as walerlcss as Australia.

when the experiments began. micro-wave radar. which has been developed during the Second World War. had enabled scientists to examine the structure of rain clouds, to understand befter the processes that produce rain. and to select I type of cloud from rwhich rain can most readily be

precipitated.

The next step was to discover I chemical which. when injected into the right kind of cloud. would produce the physical processes that precede rainfall.

Thousands of nights have been made through the clouds; dry ice tsolid carbon dioxide! water spray and other chemicals have been drop .'d through them. in recent years silver iodide has proved most effective.

in February 1847. from I Lib erator bomber flying over the Blue Mgunlalns in New South Wales. dry ice was poured on to I rain cloud. A few minutes later the scientists were rewarded by seeing rain fall over an area of 30 square miles. Since then they have repeatedly produced isolated showers from patches of rain clouds.

MORE AMBITIOUS

But the objective is much mom ambitious. it is to harness rain- Is water has long been harnessed -to the service of man and to

it is in the air that the most promising results have been achieved. in May 1955. on the plains of western Queensland. I Dakota plane made 20 nights in 14 days releasing silver iodida along I 200-mile front over which moist air was coming down from the Gulf of Carpentaria. As much as three inches of rain was meas- ured in one downpour.

At SClR0's rain-making head- quarters in the University of Syd- ney. instruments have been de- vised to enable the crews of air- craft participating in the experi- ments to measure the moisture content of clouds.

REGISTERED ON TAPE

Glass slides coated with mail- nesium oxide Ire protruded through the aircraft's windows. to receive the imprints of the moist- ure particles in the cloud. A tape machine inserted in I slit in the wing exposes I roll of paper to the cloud. The changing resistance of Lhe tape registers the amount of moisture encountered.

A microphone in the nose of the plane records raindrops as they strike the diaphragm and the rain- drops generate Ilectro magnetic impulses which are photographed as images on I moving film. Chem- ical tanks filled with silver iodide are attached to the plane. with burners at its wing-tips. Within 20 to 25 minutes of the chemical being injected into the cloud. tiny drops of moisture turn into ice crystals which. as they fall toward earth and enter I warmer atmos-

TARGET AREA

There is I target area in which the clouds are seeded. and I control area. which is left to Nature. Rainfall produced artific- ially in the target area is continu- ously compared with the normal rainfall in the control area. So far appreciably more rain has fallen on the target than bu the control area.

SCIRO receives many appeals from drought-striken areas to come and make rain. Last year during I dry spell. Brisbane City Council asked the organization to make rain for the city's parched parks and gardens. But the ana- wer invariably is that SCIRO has not yet mastered the secret of Ir- tlficlal rain-making, that your more work will he neccsn ,v be- fore it can do I0.

If. however. SClR0 ever does succeed in harnessing the rain. it will take most of the risks out of farming and grazing in Australia. and add millions of dollars I year to the value of primary production.

iments are in progress with traf. flc lights. electric shocks. and "Venetian blinds" to keep young salmon out of hydroelectric tur- hints of the great dams.

Q A unique. joint investigation. made by I private weather fore- casting company and I pharma- . I.-cut.icI.l firm. has revealed that there is I 50 to 75 per cent in crease in cases of common colds following closely on the heels of meteorological changes which the weather forecasters call storm fronts. DEFINITE LINK This seems tobestablish a de- finite lliik between stonns Ind Inlffiea. Several factors appear to be in volvad in the weathers triggering an outbreak of colds. First. there usually is fair weath- er and I temperature somewhat above average. Then there is I sharp drop in temperature. coupled with increas ed rainfall. wide day-to-night tem- perature range and higher humid- ity as well as wind velocity. DRY AREA if you live in I dry area. the rain. snow. humidity and cloudi- ness factors are more important than for someone living in I nor- ms wet area. The joint study. the first of its kind, was conducted in two stag-

as.

First. the daily sales of cold tab- lets were recorded in cities through out the country. Then weather re- cords for each city were analyzed. COLD TABLET SALES

The researchers found that sales of cold tablets mushroomed after Itorm fronts Itruck the various areas.

What does all this mean to you? Well. for one thing, it enables weather bureaus to predict fairly well in advance the likelihood of an outbreak of cold: in specifit areas.

MORE COLD

The National Weather Institute in Los Aiigeiea. which participat- ed in the study. says the Atlanta. Ga.. and Miami. Fia.. areas can expect to have more cases of colds than usual from now until about March 4.
