Mihisier Says He Had Full Approval Of Colleagues

lion. Kclr Clark. Minister Education declared in the l i lure yesterday that the decision in respect to the acceptance and licensing of trained teachers from saint Dunstan's University was made with the full approval of his colleagues.

"it was a decision of the Gov- ernment in which may colleagues freely concurred. but which was carried out in the name of the Minister of the Department to -ucet statuatory requirements." said Mr. Clark. "1 can assure tliis liousrthat the action taken was well founded in principles well established not only throughout the rest of Canada but in this Pro- vince as well by previous minis- ters. The difference at this time is (list the recognition is extended to a Princa Edward Island Univer- aity."

Continuing, tha Minister said. "From the standpoint of religious affiliation the difference is that teachers trained at St. Dunstan's will be largely of the Roman Ca- tholic rather than the Protestant Faith heretofore accepted largely from Mount Allison and Acadia Universities.”

"Those who seek to saw the seeds of dlssention in this prov- ince will undoubtedly reap a bar- vest." said Mr. Clark.

"Ya shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes oi

i-thorns, or figs of thistles-"

"Cooperation and mutual under- standing is absolutely indispens- able for educational advance- ment." he said "particularly in the rural areas of tha province. will we fall our responsibilities to

of .

the best educational opportunities because of petty bickering over in- llgloua differences? Or can we do better for the children of to-day and those of future generations by whole communities working to- gether in mutual trust and har- mony in providing better educa- tional faculties and teaching ser- vices? I believe it is necessary for us to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights. in the equal right of men and women of all faiths. and and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors."

Hon. Mr. Clark congratulated the Provincial Treasurer on his budget speecl; stating. "We are travelling in the t direction and if the Provincl Treasurer sees fit to provide more money for the Department of Education, I will be willing to step on the gas a little bit harder."

Mr. Clark had some words of praise for the 0ppositlon's finan- cial critic. Dr. L.G. Dewar. "He was fair and honest in his criti- cism. The only thing was that he couldn't find very much wrong ex- cept that we need more money," he said.

The minister noted that during the past year there had been an over-expenditure of 326,000 with an under-expenditure on current ac- count oi 321,000 or a total over-ex- penditura 35.000. This he said rep- resented an over-expenditure of loss than one third of one per cent on a budget of 81,590,000.

"You can put a province in debt for capital expenditure for the purpose of purchasing revenue

your means. No sane investor would. loan money for such pur- pose.

”The only win, the Treasurer can get extra money for current expenditure on education would be to levy a general sales tax in the Province which Ido not believe the people want," said Mr. Clark-

In noting some of the advances in education during the past seven years, Mr. Clark made compari- sons between 1940-1950 and 1955- 1956. The latter figures are shown

"All we have to do is spend only five million of our bud- get and the Provincial treasurer will have a surplus of 363.000," said the Minister.

Mr. MacKay noted that a great deal of interest had been taken in the saint Dunstan's University training plan and the fact that Sisters were teaching in the pub- lic schools of the Province. He said that Sisters had been teach- ing in the schools for years but now all the blame was put on the Minister oi Education.

OTTAWA (CP) - Agriculture Minister Gardiner Tuesday ac- cepted with alacrity a challenge to disprove charges of "akulldug- gery" and "misappropriation" of federal funds in connection with a 3100.000 payment last year to an Alberta sheep breeder.

He sought and obtained unani- mous Commons agreement to have the House agriculture committee begin today investigating the charges referred to Mon ay by E. G. McCullough (CCF--Moose Mountain).

Mr. McCullough said there are many "rumors" about federal compensation paid to P. 1. Rock of Drumheller. Alta.. after his 074;

they with the nerve-killing disease "scrapie."

Mr. Gardiner made no attempt to deal with Mr. McCullouEll'l statement that these "tumors" claim some of the sheep were not

Mr. Gardiner. who was absent front the Commons when Mr. Mc- Cullough made his statement Mon- day, proposed tha committee in veatigatlon as the House opened Tuesday. He said he was absent from the House seeing a delega- tion when Mr. McCullough spoke.

The minister proposed that the

STATEMENT OUTSIDE URGED

Mr. Gardiner said such charges against Mr. Rock as Mr. McCul- Iough raised would have been "more proper" outside the protec- tion of the Commons Statements made in the Commons are priv-

destroyed, that substitutions were made an that some were moved to Manitoba. Those were charges against Mr. Rock. Mr. Gardiner said.

ONE OF BEST BREEDBBS

However, he disagreed with Mr. McCiillough's description of Mr. Rock as "a big Liberal supporter in Alberta." Mr. Gardiner said that when he first met Mr. Rock 20 years ago at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto the Albcrtsn was descrlbcd as "one of the best breeders in Canada" but also as a person who did not support the Liberal party.

As a result. the minister said. he has never discussed politic! with Mr. Rock. He had only met
