IN EDUCATION

WITH THE C. T. F. (bv J. A. S. Williams)

In our lut HOHIOD, I stated that I alight be able to give you Ln this issue our report on the outcome of the meeting of the Board of Dir- ectors of the C.T.F. in Montreal I shall herein endeavour to point out the most important matters dealt with on that occasion.

The meeting was attended by a full Board of Directors; that is. by the nine provincial directors and in addition, the President, Past President, Vice-President, and Sec- rotary-Treasurer.

Our sessions were held in the of- fice of the P.A.P.T. tProvincial As- sociation of Protestant Teachers of Quebec), and extended over two days, il/lllTCll 7th and 8th.

.\t1 lllriccutlvc Committee, con- sisting of R1155 Coppinger, C.'1‘.F. Presldenr, 1):. Miller. Past-Presid- ent. and Mr. Munroe. vice-Pies- iderrt, uns appointed to carry on the affairs of the Canadian Teach- crs between this Directors’ Meeting and the next incctitzg.

Mr. Gaston. Barlbeau was retain- ed 8.5 auditcr for the current year.

After some discussion as to whe- ther IlfOVlJlCiIll secretaries should meet during the year or prior lo the antiual convention. it was dc- clded to defer the matter until the central office has been set up in Ottawa.

Standardisation of Statistics

The secretary recommended that some standard form of statistics be agreed upon by every province af- filiated with the C.T.F. These stat- istics should de-tl particularly with salaries, shortage of teachers. etc. It was finally decided that the sec- retary be asked to prepare a oldie- ment for presentation at the an- nual convention in August of the items of statistics which it is ad- visable to collect.

Each provincial executive is to be asked to prepare a statement for presentation at the annual con- vention descr-iibirtg the methods of colleotiotn and items of statistics collected annually by the associa- tion and by the Provincial Depart- ment of Education. Finally. each provincial executive is asked to suggest further items of statistics it deems desirable to have collected. Dr. Crutchfléld pointed out how he was continually asked for cer- tain statistics relative to various Provincial and Dominion matters. but he found it impossible, because of cert-sin factors, to be able t9 give the most up-to-date nmterial as requested.

Inter-Provincial Recognition of Teachers’ Certificates

The Secretary explained l0 the Directors that he and Mr. A B. 3°99 0f 36811111. Sada. had been on i- wmmittec of the Canadlen Edu- OIMtm Association t0 study Q means

of having inter-provincial recogni- tion ol’ teachers’ certificates. These proposals Es made by this commit- tee were explained to the Direct. ors. who after a. considerable dis- cusslon on the matter reached thei following conclusion: '

That the Canadian ‘Poachers’ Fbdteratlon invite the Oanadialzr Education Association to collabor- ate in the setting up of a commit-l tco representing the board; n1’ teacher certification of the respectﬂ lye provinces. the said committee to have the right to grant teach- ing certificates to teachers holding provincial certificate. the cerfiticw ale l0 be Granted tinder ctmditions agreeable to all provinces, and to be recognized by all Departments of Education as a Canadian certif- icate giving the holder the right' to! teach irt any province in Cem- a a.

National Safety Week

The Canadian Chamber of Com- merce l-Iifcmed us that they ltadl clllircvod a resolution recommend- mg that the Dominion Ctovernment; be urged to act nsldc a week tu bc| observed as National Safety Week.’ a-nd requcstcd our co-c-pctutign and‘ support during that week ln im- Presslng on the general public thel lllicnt need for safe practices. Thel Board qt’ Directors SFZWPCl. unznrrﬁ-i mfﬂlilj/ to (‘O-Operate fully in this worthy project.

Memorial Building

'l‘hls matter of setting up n Mam-I orial Building in memory cf those teachers who have ntade the su-l preme sacrifice took up a large Dart .nf Friday afternoons session. Mr. W A Lawrence of Montreal. in Blllhfffliy on the question of P5151118 flllids for such purposes. was present and explained what would be necessary to make the project a. success should it be um, dertalsen by the variom provinciall associations across Canada. i

In the discussion which followed‘ Mr. Intwrenoeu presentation of the brief. some of the Directors stated that this new proposition of a. combined Memorial Fund and Ed- ucational Foundation was some- thing entirely different from what. 11M been presented to them last fall. Conseoueritly, they were not in a position to give the decision of their provincial organization on this matter. .

The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation has already sent n d-teqtne for $4,060 to the C T1“. for this project. The Yorkton-Melville local has also doomed $250. The RA P31‘. has artthuslastically ap- Pml/Bd the idea.

The Secretary stated that he was Ell-lie confident that if the C31‘ F‘ did not. sponsor this educational

foundation, some other organiza-

tion in Canada would do 1e. He further stated that he considered this would be a. wonderful Otmor- tunlty for the C1121‘. to show the public that the teachers d! Qmdn are vitally interested in perpetuat- ing the memory of their fellow workers who did so much to pre- serve our democratic way of life and. that such action by our Federation would greatly increase its prestige in the eyes o! the public.

Mr. Munroe stated that the Can- adian Cltizenship Council of Ot- tawa claimed that the GT1", its the most solid educational organiza- tion in Catiada and that the C7121“. should bend its efforts toward er- ecting a Memorial Building in Ot- tawa because ibcould be done with-

lout causing dissension among the

provinces. He further stated that an undertaking such as this would do n great deal towards bringing the different sections of the coun- try together and would have a splendid influence on the country at large. -

Tim Secretary stated that he was positive that donations to such g fund would be exempt from income fax and that he had already writ- tcn to Ottawa for confirmation.

Firtnlly. a ntotlon was adopted that the mutter he tabled until the Halifax confercitre and that the Secretary, in the meantime. send to the provincial secretaries a memorandum covering the pur- poses for which this money ls to be raised, how 1t is to be controlled. etc. and also Mr. Lawrence's brief.

Resignation of Secretary

It was with much regret that the Directors learned of the resigna- ticn of our present Secretary- Treasttrcr, Dr. Crutclifield of Shawlnigan Falls. who has so long

o! Canada. Because oi’ his health, Dr. Crutchlield refused to accept offer of the full time secretaryshlp for two years. His resignation b0- comes effective September l. 1941.

Central Office

After some discussion it was de- cided to rent an office in Ottawl. and to advertise for a new Gen- eral Secretary. \

Much controversy resulted u be the tyre of person suitable for the position of Secretary. Some felt that a part-time Secretary should be engaged for another year or two. However, it was finally decid- ed that slnce our firtances now warrant the appointment of a full- time secretary, first consideration shoultl be given to such an appoint- ment and the engagement of a part-time secretary he entertained only if a suitable full-time secre- i>s not available. Advertisement iI to be made for a full-time secre- tary in Teachers’ Magazines and in

various newspapers across Can- ada, including the Charlotte-Town Guardian.

Such appointment is to be made by the Directors at their next meeting and confirmed by size utt- nual cottference, according to the by-laws of the Incorporation.

On the evening of Friday. the 7th., a delightful dinner was given the delegates by the Provincial A!- soclation of Protestant Teachers of Quebec nt the Ritz Carlton Hotel. In addition to the directors, Mr.. Longland of limgland. officers of the P.A.P.'I‘.. past presidents of the C/IXF. residing in Montreal, and the President of the English Cath- olic teachers of Quebec were prea- ent.

Thus was completed our Friday sesions. In our next issue of the Horizon, I shall cnticlude the hus-

and faithfully served the teachers

REPORT CARDS rot rlitsms

PHILADELPHIA - Report curds for parents as well as for pupils were advocated by Richard H. Mc- Feely. headmaster of Friend's Cen- tral School. “I have learned that. there are time: when n child's poor work may be attributed to condi- tions at home over which the par- ent has more control than the child." McFcc-ly said.

He said the parent's‘ report cards should be rated by the parents themselves, based on the following questions:

l. Do I provide a quiet study room for my children away from the family. telephone and radio?

2. Do I insist on a. regular study time?

3. Do I fail to consult with the child or his teacher when a poor report card is brought home‘?

4. Do I rcqttirc my children to stay at home and study on even- ings before a School day?

5. Do I insist that my children

9. Do I refuse to permit my child- ren to have chuperoned parties in my homo or tango to such parties held in the llDIIlES of others?
