'l'his qllr-lion of scrapping lhc B.l\'.:\. Act as an Imperial suitor and allowing the Dominion Ihirliaincnt to tamper with it unchecked, ltas liven raiscrl before. Prime Minister Mackenzie Ring callcd a ll~uniuion-Prtivincial conference on the subject in january, 1935, and but for the stand laltcn hv .\'c\v l‘il‘llll>'-\\'lCl{ and Quebec the change would (lnuhtless have gone through. The lea/ling opponent was Hon. Mr. 1\IcNair, the present I'll-filial: of .\'cw Brunswick. then At- tiwllr-y Gcnrral. .\lr. ftfcNair perceived clearly that the lmpcrial lﬁirlizlrnciifs sanction to any amcndlncnt of our Constitution was a vital safeguard to Maritime provincial rights “If the Provinces are simply to become creatures of the Dominion Parliamclit,” he declared, “the whole foundation of Confederation will be de- stroyed." This is in ztccord with the view ex- pressed by the late Sir George Ross, a former Premier of Ontario, in his book “The Senate of Canada”, in which emphasis is placed on the fact that the llrirish North America. Act is a treaty. “The doctrine of consent,” wrote Sir George, “in fact is the flaming sword of the Constitution that turns every way and forbids progress till consent is clearly established."

In view of the statement in the Sirois Report that Nova Scotia was chiefly responsible for rais- ing this question before the Commission, would it not be well for our Maritime government rep- rcsentativcs to get together and come to some understanding before the Dominion-Provincial conference rncets at Ottawa? he Halifax Herald in particular has been stressing the need for opposing any constitutional changos that would endanger Maritime rights. We can im- sgine no change more likely to havg this fggult than abandonment of the clatlse in the B. N. A. Act calling for ratification of all amendments thereto by an act of the Imperial Parliament,

What is the attitude of thc Nova Scotia press and the present Nova Scotia Government on this point? Do they aqrce with former Premier Mac- donald, now Munster of Defense for Naval Affairs, that power to amend the Act should be vested at Ottawa, that our rights as provinces should be in the hands of our Dominion poli- ticians, and that “the consent of every province should not be required to an amendment"? If so-aild asstnniuq that Premier McNair of New Brunswick takes the same firm stand he took in I936—we can foresee a major split in Maritime opinion if this matter comes up at the Ottawa conference ncxt january,

priccs prevail. The biggest increase in buying came in Uctobcr. While butter consumption was wrll up ill Xovcnlbcl‘ over last year, it drop- ped 10 per ccnt from the record lcrel set by October.

Officials of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board dcny that they have even considered ra- tioning of butter, or restricting its use for non- gsanttials such as candy, Rationing measures, i1. is claimed, would involve the setting up of colupliratcd machinery and are hardly ncccs- sary. Suggestions that restriction of cream coll- sunlptiolt was under consideration were also denied. Butter consumption figures leave little doubt, however, that supplies will run short be-

fore hcavy production starts in May. As far as imports froln Australia and New Zealarld are concerned, Britain has first call on their sup- plies and there may not be any butter over for Canada.

Connected with the butter problem is the

equally important one of cheese production. At a recent conference of agricultural depart- ment officials at Ottawa, it was estimated that to meet domestic and British demand for cheese and evaporated milk, an extra 640,000,000 pounds of milk will have to be produced i11 I041. Dr. G. S. Archibald, director of Dominion Ex- perimental Farms, told the meeting the output of milk of the 3,800,000 dairy cows in Canada must be stepped up or the number of cows increased. The best and cheapest way, he said, was to ad- vance milk production which could be done if farmers gave more attention to pasture improve- ntent. These statements indicate that the dairy in- dustrv is facing n big production problem next season. and that federal and provincial policies must be co-ordinated under active leadership if satisfactory results are to be obtained.

In contrast with the doubling of the prices for silver fox pelts in London. on the saute day, Dec.

Only six Dylts were sold out of the lot at prices ranging from 625 to 1,250 crowns, after which the company announced that no more platiua furs will be offcrcd until highcr prices can be obtained.

A good few will recall a visit here in I921 of Dr. C_ \V. Salecby, of London, who was a strong supporter of Prohibition. lIe was also one of the leaders lll a cantpaign which led to the in- troduction of steel helmets in the World War. I-Ie died on Dec. 9. He had been’ advocating the use of body armor in the present ivar. Dr. Saleeby was an obstetrics specialist and fot1nd- ed the Sunlight League, lie lectured on public health in the United States and Canada from time to time between ‘I912 and 1922.

LARGER IJIVITS OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION

Sin-Today we shall deal with 5011119 defects of our present system of school administration as they affect the taxpayers, and explain how these could be remedied by the establlshment of the Larger Unit; system.

Educational authorities are agreed that equallty of educational oppor- tumty for our chlldgen, and equality of cost to taxpayers according to taxpaylng ability should be guldlng prlnclples ln the administration of our schools. In examining the re- ports of the Department of Educa- tion we find that the cost of ed111- catlng the children ln the different dlstrlcts of our province varies a great; (leak-from 10c to about $1.80 per $100_of assessed value. Furth- ermore, 1n time smaller and pooler districts under our system the rate- payers cannot afford to offer large enough supplements to obtain the services of the best qualified teach- ers; frequently, of course, they do, but at great sacrifice l-n compari- son with the richer and more pop- ulous districts. The establishment of the Larger Unlt system would. to a considerable extent, equallze these situations. paxtlc-ularly as a- mong neighboring districts within the same unit.

Under our present system each district looks after 11s own needs ln respect to the purchase of equip- ment, furniture, school supplies, fuel, repair material such as slung- les and paint, insurance, etc. Ed- ucational experts who have stud-led the operation of the Larger Uhlts under wlde varieties of clr- cumstanoes ln many countrles tell us that: there are great savings (up to 40 per cent) to be effected through bulk purchases and group insurance. Added to this 1t has been shown that; the cost: of admlnlstra- tlon 1s considerably less. The money thus saved could be used In supply- lng addltlonal services to our schools.

With the coming of the Larger

Units would disappear the local

frlctlun and anlmosltles prevalent;

tn many districts today. Frequent,-

ly we ftnd the ratepayers grouped

ln cllques each determined to se-

cure control of administration. This

results ln much quarrelllng and ls

responsible for holding up the pro-

gress of the schools concerned.

Those who suffer most are the

teachers sud the pu 11s.
