pics rwo THE ED UCA TI --A SA TURDA Y FEA TURE~ IMPROVEMENT IN EDUCATION On Thursday. lbbruary 19th. the Guilty Committee of the Prince Ed- ward Island Teachers’ Federation met with the government. The Coni- Inlttee in line with its policy, as previously expressed to the govern- ment in briefs and supplementary briefs, emphasized the need of im- mediately adopting l. graduated lcule for teachers in Prince Edward Island. It was pointed out that only in this way could teaching be- come a profession in Prince Edwlifd Island and Prince Eziward Island be in a position to make some real progress in the educational field. An estimate of the additional cost of adopting a graduated scale was aubmitled to the government. In presenting those costs several dif- ferent plins were discussed. The i‘ one most favored by the Fedora.- = tinn was the original one submitted by the P. 1:. 1.1211‘ to the Mac- millan commission. This plan has , . l ‘ m; following advantages: 1. It pro- ‘ K vidcs for an initial increase, which we fcel is just and necessary at the present time, where the one and when our new teachers have to take more academic and normal training than previously. 2. it provkics for an increase after two ' ~ years. This would probably hell) to l~ hold in the profession those who ‘ have begun teaching recently {. i. costs of living is higher to every- ’ .

However, all the plalu have o very decided advantage over the present system which makes no pro vision at all for experience and when the government adopts some system of a graduated scale, _as we feel sure it will at the next session 0f the legislature, il will make one of the most progressive steps in the history of Prince Edward Island. Only if the teaching profession Is paced on a scum‘ basis can Prince Edlvilrd Island hope to have a. solid educational system. Now is the time to make the right tum. The Prince Edward Island government is to re- ceive $72,000 more annually than l! rbcelved formerly. As the premier intimated a portion of this amount 15 to be set aside for the teachers. Let us hope that [his portion will be generously supplemented from the local treasury and that. the teachers of Prince Edwin-d Island will at long .ast receive a swall measure of jus- Ice. G.
