Sessions were held in ithe Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Jan- uary. 15, 16 and 17. Among many items of business the following stand out as most significant. 1. The appaintme:.t of Dr. J.'D. Ayers as Research Director. In-mak- ingcthis move, the Canadian Teach- er.a' Federation is creating the first permanent educational research of- fice at the national level. Through this new division of their national organization. Canada's teachers hope to make acworthy contribu- tion to the lmprovemen't of educa- tion. Dr. 'Ayers, is presently engaged in Toronto on work for the De- fence Research Board. He will as- sume his new duties with the Can- adian Toachers' Federation about the end of March. Dr. Ayers. who is a native of Saskatchewan, re- ceived his elementary and second- ary education in Vancouver. After graduating from the Vancouver Normal School 131 1937. he taught in British Columbia schools until 1941 when he joined one R. C. A.F. and spent three and one-half years overseas. After the war he entered the University of British Columbia and graduated in 1947 with his BA. and Bachelor of Education. Then moving to Toronto. he attended the University of Toronto and was awarded his Ph.D. plegree in 1951. Dr. Ayers has had research ex- perience with the Department of Educational Research, University of Toronto the Canadian Research Commtitee on Practical Education. and the personnel Research Sec- tion. Defencc Research Medical Laboratories. Toronto. He brings to his new office a rich experience in research techniques and a back- ground of teaching experience at different levels in the various stages of ed-ucation. 2. Teacher supply and salaries - The Canadian Teachers" Federation h CANADIAN N TEAGHERS' FEDERATION to reduce educatlonexpenditures in the face of increasing needs roi- more teachers and more accommo- dation to cope with the rapidly growing pupil cur t. Statistics show that within twelve years. Canada will be required to double the number of her teachers in sec- ondary schools and almost double the present school facilities. The acute shortage of qualified teach- ers in the elementary schools will also be a serious problem for a number of years, Any talk of "holding the line" in the matter of educational costs must be the result of a lack of in- formation or an unrealistic view- point. Good salaries remain the "strongest factor in the recruitment and retention of teachers. Any move "to close off the upward trend at present-levels will seriously ef- fect recruitment and any tendency toward lowering salaries under present conditions will prove dis- estrous, Teachers' organizations will support the paying public in all ei- foris to eliminate waste and inef- ficiency from our educational sys- tems but the Cahadian freachersl Federation feels strongly that the most constructive move to relieve the present crisis would be a new deal between the provinces and the federal government in the matter of educational finance, 3. International Affairs. - C.T.F. President, Dr. Myrtle Conway of Winnipeg, reported on internation- al aspects of education. Dr. Con- way was a member of 'the Canad- ian government delegation to the Seventh session of the General Conference of Unesco in Paris Nov. 10th-Dec. l2. 1952.

The Mohammedans, how- ever, also conaider Jerusalem is holy city and did not prevent Christians from making annual pllgrimages there at the Easter season, It was only when the Turks took posses- sion of the Holy Sepuldhre. it was different. To them it was just an- other grave andtbhey saw no rea- son why they should permit tres- passing. They objected and no doubt abused the people who had travelled hundreds or thousands of miles to the Holy City. Peter the Hermit told of the cruelty and at- rocities when he travelled across Europe and he urged Christian- minded citizens to rise in God's army and drive out the infidel. People gave up everything for the chance to join the crusades. The first Crusade was a dismal failure. About 300.000 got as far as Asia Minor but preparation for the whole enterprise had not been ar- ranged. Food. clothing and trans- portation had not been arranged and the travellers died of exposure and starvation. FILL IN THE BLANKS l. The orange light means to traf- fic -- J partmenis of Education. They serve in a consultative capacity and gore particularly active in all mat ers relating to teaching personnel. Within each province there are varying degrees of decentraliza- tion. In local areas are Boards of Education or Boards of Trustees, In most of Canada members of these bodies are elected by the school supporters. In the few exceptions they are appointed by other bodies whose members are" themselves elected representatives of the rate- payers. These local authorities un- der provincial regulations have re- sponsibility for the building and maintenance of schools, the em- ployment of teachershand the ad- aptation of the educatlohal pro- gramme to -suit local reqtulremenis. Larger units of administration in which a number of local authori- ties unite for purposes of equaliza- tion of educational opportunity through such measures as equaliz- ed asuessments. joint purchasing of supplies. etc. are becoming more numerous.

There are. for example. no fewer than one hundred and twen- ty species of shrew. including the tupain, or tree-shrew that is found in Malaya. This animal is very agile and looks something like a squirrel. in spite of its long, flexible snout. In parts of India lives the musk- shrew. which smells so terribly that an thing it touches becomes un- ea able. All of the slirews are ra- ther unpleasant smelling creatures, and this is one reason why most people dislike them in spite of their usefulness as insect killers. On the island of Madagascar lives the tenrec, the largest of the shrews. It is about sixteen inches long. tailless, with pines hidden in its hair. and it has a ferocious bite. Fortunately, the tenrec, like the ROBERT Robert Burns was born in the little thatched cottage at Alloway. Scotland. on January 25. 1759. He was one of the seven children of William and Agnes Burness. As they were poor and of the strug- zling crofter class, he received lit- tle education beyond the school kept at the cottage next door, and this he left before he was 12 years old, His knowledge of poetry and his love for it came almost entirely from his own reading. He was 21 when he wrote hm first perfect lyric, "Mary Morison". which still ranks as one of the finest ever written. 1-lis poetic gifts found further ex- 'I.nguage. l8..The difference between iron- in; and pressing is . 14.

D SIIREWS solenodon which lives in the Carib- bean islands. is an insect ester and does much more good than harm. Another insect - eating animal which is found in parts of lihirope and Asia is the hedgehog. The hedgehog protects itself when an enemy starts to attack it by rolling up into a tight ball. The hedgehog likes to eat insects. especially beet- les. but it will also eat lizards. roots and fruit: which have-fallen on the ground. In some parts of Eur- ope this animal has been domest- icated and is chiefly used to destroy cockroaches. It is said that fossil remains have been found in the Dakotas which indicate that hedge- hogs once lived in North America. The name hedgehog is sometimes given to our North American por- cupine, but this is really quite a different animal BURNS pression when misfortunes began to pile up against him. His father died bankrupt. Burns was compelled to work as a labourer in the fields. In 1786 however. the first volume of his poems was published. This work brought him about H00. These poems brought Burns instant fame and led to his sojourn in Edin- burgh. He returned to farm life in ms, settling at ilillisland. near Dumfries. with his wife. Jean Ar- mour. In the following year he ac- cepted an excise appointment, and shortly afterwards sold his farm and moved to Dumfrles, From ear3 lier life. he had suffered from heart trouble and rheumatism. Finally. fever proetrated him, and he died in July, 1796. . The cottage at Alloway. his binn- plsce, was for a. time used as an inn. but has been restored with loving care to its original simplic- ity. Many of the furnishings med inf the poets childhood have been boimht back to their old plscu. standing in the little rooms you can easily visualize the scene Burns described in "rho Cotter-'s satur- dsy Night". Robert Burns. by undisputed right, is the "National Poet of Soot- land" and by universal consent is one of the greatest lyric poet: 1''. any age or country, "0 Death! the poor man's dear- est friend -- i The kindest and the beat!

MALTA (Contributed) Malta became British territory in- l8l4 and is England's naval base in the central Mediterranean. The larger island of the group. Malta, is ninety-five square miles in area. close is twenty-six square miles. and Comino a single rock. The two islands have "a population of over 240.000. The 43,000 acres are divid- ed into 11,000 holdings which gives an idea of the size of the garden patches. Wheat, barley, potatoes. onions, beans. vegetables. and cu- min-seed are grown. sheep and goats are kept. the latter for fihelr milk. The island is unable to produce all of the necessary foods, and wheat, flour. sugar, and cattle foods are imported. Textiles are the larg- est single item of import. The Mal- tese are noted for the excellence of their hand-made lace. the manu- facture of which is carried on an a cottage lndustiry. The harbour of Valetto. is one natural feature which makes the island of Malta a valuable posses- sion. It is a supply and refitting station for Britain's Mediterranean squadron and a cooling station for merchant vessels. Valetta is strong- iy fortified and controls the passage between Elcily and Africa. v Continued on page 13 Flying Ofiui-r Roy H Aiiiugn. Hamilton.
