Many schools in New Brunswick have been closed for whole terms and others have been struggling along with teachers who have not had the benefit of teacher training courses. Now, in ordcr to overcome the shortage, the New Brunswick Department of Education has an- nounced an accelerated course by which students may enter the provincial normal school this month, and by January become qualified to teach. There will be two of these six-months courses. After the end of the second emergency ' course the normal school will adopt a two-year teacher-training course to replace the one-year course of the past. For those handicapped fin- ancially the Department is offering a non-in- terest bearing loan up to $300. Qualified teach- ers have also been offered an increased rate of pay as an inducement to remaining in the pro- fession. A somewhat similar course has been persued in this Province, through the issuance of per- mits 0r temporary licenses of the third class. increased supplements, the routing of pupils in small schools to larger schools in adjoining soc- tions, and the institution of correspondence courses. That the situation here is still grave, was evident from the tone ‘of the circular re- cently issued by the Education Department ‘to ‘all the school districts. The fullest coopera- tion on the part of rate payers and trustees in the districts is undoubtedly of major importance in this connection. Farm yelerans Needed Some recent official figures demon- strating disinclination of war veterans to re- turn to the land are contained in a question- and-answer exchange in Commons between MajwGcm-G.

The figures show that of Canada's 800,000 veterans orily 5,132. had land purchase approvals up to March 31st. - Questions and answers were as follows: (Q) How mtmy nxservacerrmn have been approved as qualified to come within the terms of The Veterans’ Land Act, as at April I5, r946?

The net public debt was reduced by $11,378,7o9.53 during the fiscal year, the-largest debt reduction in a single year in the history of the province. The gross pub- lic debt was reduced by $13,67o,395.15 during the period but this was offset to the extent 0f.a $2,291,649.62 reduction of the amount in the sinking fund. The reduction, which is about $1,700,000 more than the $9,700,000 reduction during the previous year, brings the total net debt reduction since 1944 to more than $21, 000,000. ‘e a- A Labour Government is no different from a Liberal Government when it comes to voting salaries. In the British llouse of Commons a motion moved by the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer to give effect to the recommendations of the Select Committee for increasing the salaries of members of Parliament was carried by a majority of 319 votes. Mr. Dalton said that the Government proposed to follow the unanimous recommendation of the Committee that the salaries of M".P.’s should be raised from 600 pounds to 1,000 pounds a year from April 1 last. Only 26 votes were JBCOTdCd for an amendment to provide that the increases of salary should not come into operation until the first sitting day of th: nextfarliament. 41 I Dean Willard L.

In the wor- ship of the non-liturgical‘ churches far too many of our transactions are accomplished in disorder, and occasionally approach aesthetic indecency.
