That there is a decided trend toward graded schools in the Pro- vince was noted by Hon. Keir Clark, Minister of Education when he spoke on the Draft address yes-

terday. "Fifty five pa cent of all the classrooms are in the graded schools, compsried to only 43 pen eent ten years go," he said. Mr. Clark said there was also a trend toward better school at- tendance. This be credited in some degree. to the payment of family sllowsnces by the Federal Govern-

merit.

The Minister 'ntimated that some form of Legislation will be consid ed in regard to paying the indemnity of 350.000 to School Unit No. lffie was very definite what he said that a subsidy to offset in- creased. ” , would not be con- sidered. He felt. for the Gov ernment to embark on such a policy, would be "dangerous pro- eedure".

In regard to the teacher short- ago. Mr. Clark said that the sup- ply was influenced by the salar- ies and the conditions under which the teacher had to work. He felt that it would be necessary for some years to come, to depend upon a number of permit teachers to fill the vacancies in the schools of the Province.

UNIVERSITY GRANTS Mr. Clark said he thinks the Federal Government will eventual- ly have to give financial assistance to univeristles and university stud- ents. "but" be added.

d City, Parkdole And Spring Pork Discuss Problems

A heart to heart talk between members of the City Council and the Village Commissioners of Parkdale and Spring Park on Sat- urday. resulted in an agreement ratified by each of the interested organizations at individual special meetings held y t , designed to deal with common problems.

It was agreed that the Provin- cial Government constitutes the parent authority for both the City and the Villages of Parkdslo and spring Park. and their problems are of prime concern to the Gov- ernment. It was therefore resolv- ed that a presentation he made as soon as possible by. the City and Villages to the Government re- questing such action as may tend to clarify and relieve the general situation which is becoming pro- gressively more complicated.

trend towards more graded schools of two or more rooms. There is a total of 449 schools; 353 of which are one room schools. The rest vary from 61 schools of two teach- ing departments to one large school of forty departments. There were 778 tesche is employed during the last school year. This shows an increase of twelve teachers over the previous year and a decrease of 3 in the number of schools op- erating.

"On a classroom basis 55 per- cent of all classrooms are in grad- ed schools compared wlth only 43 percent of the classrooms of the province in such schools ten years ago. Or if I may be permitted to state this fact another way there were 284 classrooms in graded schools ten years ago compared with 425 classrooms in such schools today. Pro ress in this direction is admittedly slow but the popu- latlon trend toward urban areas. together with a growing realiza- tion of the educational advantag of the larger schools, is having its effect in the gradual diminution in the numbers of that famed. ven- eratcd. and historical institution. the Little Red Schoolhouse.

"We can also note a long term trend toward increased attendance. The Government's policy at Ot- tawa ln instituting family allow- ances which are conditional on the provincial department of education regulations concerning school at- tendance. plus the policies of the local Liberal administration in pro- vidlng improved roads in summer and plowed roads in Winter, has made it possible for many addi- tional pupils to attend school re- gularly.

"Last year the total enrollment in. our schools, exclusive high school grades at Prince Wales Collette. Increased by pupils over the previous year mak- ng a total of 20,284 as against 19,553 in 1954.

CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) - A Prince Edward island expert said Monday that tariff - free United States imports threaten to destroy the Canadian potato industry.

D. A. MacDonald, for five Pyears head of the Provincial otsto Marketing Board, said the Canad- ian industry "will eventually be destroyed" unless it is protected against these imports.

"Mr. MacDonald said in an inter- view that it's unfalr to allow United States dealers to market duty-free potatoes in Canada while Canadians must pay a minimum of 8715 cents a hundredweight on po- tatoes exported to the United States on a quota basis. This system at- ready had handicapped the Cana- dian industry "and will ultimately destroy it."

He said that Maine growers closer to central Canadian markets than Maritime growers, can easily tske their products to Ontario and Quebec "and the only way we can keep them out is to undersell them."

USE MARITIME RATES He said Maine growers, produc- ing more than all Canadian grow- ers combined, can ship potatoes from New Brunswick points to central Canada at Maritime freight rate levels, and "these freight sates ironically enough were basic- ally intended to aid surp1us-pro- duclng Marltimcs."

The spinsters travelled to th

the ice-covered sea and were en- tertained by the 70-member bach clors' association. Many availed themselves of an old Danish custom that allows women to propose mar ridge to men on Feb. 24 of Leap Year.

If a proposal was refused. s bachelor had to pay a traditional fine of 12 dpairs of gloves.

"We to! the girls." said Jeer- gensen, "that we would send them any gloves later. I bellve two or three members have done so."

The bachelors of Fejoe (pop. 1,200) have trouble finding wives because so many girls prefer town life. But the bachelors were doubt- ful whether the Copenhagen invad- ers would mnke good form wives.

Mr. MacDonald said that during one twomonth period in 1954 when Maritime grow- ers were desperately fighting for markets for surplus crops, U.S. growers sold 1.000.000 bushels in

Canada.

At that time. he said, P.E.I. potatoes were being shipped for prices as low as 25 cents for a Hi-pound sack and Maine growers were even undersellin that price. The value of the .E.I. potato inlluatry ranges between 85,000,000 and 312,000,000 annually depending on supply demand and competit- ion. Mr. MacDonald doesn't think the Island's farmers will make much profit this year. He said pr d ctlon cost per acre now is estimated at more than 8200 and rising all the time. "We need tar- iff protection to strengthen prices." TARIFF 1N SUMMER

The only time United States po- tatoea are subject to a Canadian tariff is from June 15 to July 31 when the rate is the same as ap- plied to Canadian exports 12 months of the year.

Mr. MacDonald said this six-week Canadian tariff system also brings additional harm to Canadian grow- ers. In order to market potatoes before the June 15 deadline. he says. US growers sometimes flood the Canadian market. And because the U.S. restricts Cana- dian imports to 3.500.000 bushels- when tariffs jump to 75 cents- there is always a period of un-

A survey bell)! 0111'- rently conducted by the DOPIW ment of Agriculture has been able to give no particular reason why this trend should take place. He suggested however that many of the smaller units had been taken over by the larger farmer. which could conceivably account for the reduction.
