to devote the succeeding nine months to study. One year ago I report an enrolment of 629. There has thus been a decrease of thirty- one in attendance.

"The enrolment in the various years and departments may be summarized thus:

Men Women Total

Fourth year: Academic 44 1-1 5b. Commerce 2 1 3 Third Year: Academic 60 m ‘i1 Commerce 1 13 14 Teacher Training 4 57 6i Second Year: Academic 88 60 106 Commerce 7 43 50 First Year: Academic 68 1S0 198 Commerce 6 14 M M8 850 508

‘The graduating class in Com- merce numbered 67, the first year in Commerce 20, making a. total enrolment in that Department of 87. Several of these discontinued attendance before the close of the term, in order to accept positions with business firms urgently desir- ing office help. Ordinarily we have little difficulty in securing opportunities for all our graduates.

Teacher Training

"Three students in the Teacher Training Department dropped out before the final examinations, so that only fifty-eight completed the course. We should, even in ordin-, nry times, be training approxi- mately one hundred prospective teachers each year to fill up the ranks of the teaching profession. For the next few years we should be training more to replace those

high school age. At least, then if their courses are interrupted. they will be in a position to re- sume their studies at the College or University level.

"Following our closing exercises last year, Mr. J. H. Blanchard, who had taught here for thirty-eight years and for eleven oi those years had served as vice-principal, de- cided to retire from the active work of teaching. Last year I re- ferred to his long period of ser- vice as a teacher in the Province. and suggested that we should be making some recognition of his fifty years as a teacher.

“Last October his fellow teachers of the College and Model School at a social gathering in the Col- lege Library attempted to express fittingly their sense of apprecia- tion, and of loss in his severing of the tie with our Institution.

"To me personally his resignat- ion was a great loss as l had been associated with him from the time he joined the staff, and since Dr. Robertson's death had worked in close cooperation with him. With only one other teacher on the staff have my associations here been extended equally long. "As we foresaw a falling off in attendance, no new teacher was appointed in his place. The Gov- ernment appointed Mr. James B. Brow as acting vice-principal. As an addition to our curriculum Miss

In this dearth, of teachers in training and in the, shortage of trained teachers we; are experiencing a condition exist- ing throughout the whole continent.

"The number of veterans in at- tendance has been very ‘small as| compared with the number in at- tendance last year. Only twenty-l two, as compared with sixty-nine a year ago, were in receipt of bene- fits from the D.V.A., and only] four attending were financing:

“What attempts have you made to find from your young people how mucit time they are spending in restaurants and places of en- tertainment? I feel sure you would be surprised if you could have an honest answer to such a question. I heard oi one young person who was comfortably housed in one of these places for over two hours at a nominal expenditure of seven cents.\ .

"The mere fact that a young person's name is on the of those enrolled at a school or col- lege is no guarantee that such a person is a student. Chaucer's student, clerk. of Oxenfcrd, was one who would gladly learn and gladly teach. I do not think you can make students of young people who have no enthusiasm for study. After all a student is one who studies. The two words are etymologically related. He may and should do other things, but he still loves to study.

Former Students

“it is very gratifying to our staff of teachers to learn from time to time of the success of former students of Prince of Wales Col- lege as they pursue their studies at other colleges. On Monday ai- iemoon I was very much pleased to ma some of our former students winning a place in the honour and prize list at St. Dunstanis Univer-

Reasonably Successful Year

"We have had a reasonably sun-- ceasfui year. The large number of certificates and diplomas, the long list of prizes being presented today is an outward sign of this success. Our list today is some forty-seven fewer than last year, which in view of the somewhat de- creased attendance. still leaves us with a fair showing of certifcate and diploma winners. Leading in the upper years are groups of stu- dents who have shown themselves excellent students ever since they came among us.

New Scholarship

"l am pleased to be able to m. nounce this morning the a/ward of a new scholarship for the fir; time. Some few years ago Dy, Norman M. Hunter. formerly of Alberfon, now of Hudson, Mm, deposited with the Provincial Gov. ernment a principal sum of monq, the interest of which was to be awarded annually as the Samuel N. Robertson Scholarship to the student from Prince County stand- ing highest in the work of the Third Year class. in the event of there being no member of the Third Year class from Prince County, the scholarship would be awarded to the student ranking second in the Third Year clusl.

The Beta Chapter oi the Char- lottetown Girls Hf-Y Group hu offered a prize of $10 to the girl student who was most outstanding in extracurricular activities during the year and who has attained certificate slnnding. The Charlotte- town School Improvement League has offered again for competition in the Teacher Training class s scholarship of $50 on the same terms as a similar scholarship was offered last year. This scholarship will hereafter be announced through the College Calendar. To all donors of prizes and scholar- ships I wish. on behalf cl’ the staff and student body, to express sincerest thanks.
