Mr. Shaw 5 .d he could not understand the ~mentsil attitude of those who per- sist ill arguing over the relative ‘iniporzniice of academic training {COIYIPliIIYI to vocational training.

"Let us think, gill‘. Shaw said. "oi education as ‘liens; that system oi training ‘ailiirli will make a full man.’ , Mr. shaw said he hoped none of _'1ils audience would interpret his iyeinarks as being derogatory w the fliiiportance oi academic subjects. “filiflh subjects were essential w the ontellectual growth and enjoyment oi all men and women. But the study oi such subjects was not sufficient to make the modern young man or woman an educated person. The boy, leaving his home for school, took with him more iIlllli his mind. His body went along also. And that body also re- qlllved development, discipline, and irdiuiilg. . The vocational training school. contrary to the opinion of riianl’ peoplo unfamiliar with the work of the institution, did more than give its students practical training in carpentry, blacksmithing. farm mechanics. etc. Culture wasgalsq ‘obtained there. The mind was ek- ‘i-rcised in the study of theories re- lsicd to the trades being learned and a broad view was obtained of tlie various trades as they touch- ed upon each other. .\Il‘.

No primary school can do justice to its pupils under such conditions, Mr. Shaw said. and one of the main reasons \vliy so many pupils failed in the entrance ‘examin- ations was not so much because they did not know the Grade 10 work well enough but because their foundation studies had not been sufficiently thorough. M". Shaw said he had recently read a. statement by an education- ist who said that when a nation's civilization is threatened, its wiser statesmen examine the country's system of education. He would ask the teachers to feel free to send any suggestions for the improve- ment of the Island's present sys- tem to his department where they would receive careful study. Mr. Shaw said many of the school districts appeared to be ull- aivara that the Provincial Gov- ernment had spent over $30.00!; mist year in the beautifying and im- proving of various school buildings and grounds and that it had voted $0.000 for the same purpose this year. All that the school district had to do was to pay dollar for dollar with the Government in order to ensure such improvements. l-ie urged the teachers to encour- aj|.- such work by imparting the information to their districts. Salary Increases Mr. MacDonald in his presiden- tial report warned teachers against accepting supplements which were lower than the minimum required by law. Some teachers, he said. had done so last year. On behalf of the Federation, Mr. MacDonald expressed gratification at the increases in teachers salar- ies granted by the Government in i947. He said tlie Federation had been informed that the Depart- lnarit oi Education may recom- mend that the money saved the school districts by the abolition of the land and road taxes be spent for the increase of supplements to teachers. lvir. MacDonald said the deduc- tions for pensions were high but that the deductions were for a worthy cause. Should a pensioner die, it was gratifying to know that his dependents would receive a pension. For the first time in the educa- tional history oi the Province. there will be no fall vacation tAhls n- othel- innovation will be that child- ren residing in a district where no teacher is available will be pro- vided transportation to another school district for instruction. Instruction for teachers by groups began yesterday under the following instructors: Mr. Ll. W. Shaw (geography), Miss Frances Johnson (art), Mr. Wilfrid iiimdn (physical education).

March 30-—(AP)— The Jews and Arabs have promis- ed to observe the-Geneva Conven- tion rules of war, an International Red Cross spokesman said today- The pledge paves the way for the mercy organization to start work ln the Holy Land, now torn by civil war. In Jerusalem bread ratiofllfi was decreed for the city's 10.006 Jews for the first time since the outbread oi current hostilities. The move was made necessary appar- ently by the repeated Arab at- tacks on Jewish convoys and other interference in the moving of food and supplies to Jerusalem. Jews said their food supplies are "dangerously low". No similar shortage appeared in the Arab sections. which are supplied over Arab-controlled roads in Eastern Palestine and neighboring Arab countries. by the interstate Commerce Commission oi the U.

Western farmers were pleased enough that Western grain move- ments wcre exempt, but feared that increases in other freight rates would more than outweigh the grain concession. The attitude of most industries was that increased costs would ultimately have to be passed on to the public. Rises were specifically predict- ed in the steel, lumber, coal and automobile industries. A Toronto dealer said the in- crease of 25 cents a ton on coal would be added to the retail price as soon as it was effective. An official of the Western Re- tail Lumbermen‘s Association said increases in lumber prices would be about $3 a. thousand feet. He added, however. that "the rail- ways need the money if they are to pay the wages." Ford Motor Co-. oi Canada, Ltd, commented that the most immed- iate effect from the pub1ic's standpoint, would be slight in- creases in the retail delivered prices of automobiles and trucks at points throughout Canada where ShIDntents are made by rail. Provincial Novernmerit heads in general preferred to study the announcement before commenting. Co-operative Minister McIntosh of Saskatchewan telrned the in- creases “quite unjustified" in view of railway earnings. A. l". Blake, president of the Saint John, N. B.. Board of Trade.‘ regretted that "apparently no special consideration was given to the Maritime Provinces.“ Too Little, Railways Say The railways themselves. in a joint statement, said the increases would fall far short of minimum requirements fibilt for thc iuipre- cedented traffic volume." ' Premier Stuart Carson of Mani- toba declined lmn-ledlate comment At Saskatoon, N. MacEacliern, Board of Trade commissioner urg- ed that the increase be appealed to the Privy Council. George Blckerton. publicity di- rector for the United Farmers of Canada, said: "The increase will change the economy oi the whole country. Nobody outside the Par- liament of Canada should shoul- der the responsibility of making such a sweeping decision." Premier Byron Johnson of Brit- ish Columbia said he was vrith- holding comment until a study has been made of the order. it is possible B. C. will seek a further review oi mountain-differ- ential rates to which the general eoost of 2i per cent will be added.

Eric McGeer, secretary oi the Calgarv Board of Trade. said over-all observations on the effect the new rates will have on the West could not be of value until tlie new raic siluctlu-e has beer. studied in detail. In Montreal an inland shipping official said be expected freight intes on package freight cargoes from inl-md oorls to Montreal will be increased 2i per cent, tlie some increase as granted the rail- wars by the Transport Board. Railway Stock Up Canadian Pacific Railway stock was up $1.25 in Montreal and $1.37 in Toronto. closing at the day's highs. $14.50. on both exchanges. Comment of the railways them- selves on today's announcement came in a joint statement from the Canadian Pacific and Cana- dian National Railways: "We are naturally pleased that tlie Board of Transport Commis- sioners has recognized the needs oi the railways for an increase iii freight rates. The extent of the relief granted under the Board's order cannot be determined with- out soine study.

Associated Press News Analyst) The old ianiiliar charge that the United States has no foreign pol- icy is out of date. There is a very definite policy. concurred-in generally by both major political parties. it is that Communist imperialism must be contained. C0mmufilsm is to be contained through elimination of the social and economic chaos on which it feeds. Imperialism and aggression is to be halted by military pre- paredness \\‘I1ICIl will cut oi’! its chances icr success. Combined, the two methods are designed to eliminate the possib- ility that Western institutions can be conquered either by nrms or in- filtration; in other words. to avoid slavery. When President ‘Truman men- tioned slavery in a recent speech he was not just using a generic term. He was talking about plain old slavery. under which a mall is thc chattel of iils rulers. to be driven at his assigned tasks. to be starved. killed or imprisoned if he rebels. He was talking about the way the Russians treat their political opponents at home and abroad.

Similar sicrlcs, and worse, have conic from the labor camps where Russia's new czars send their own dissidents at home. ls it any wonder that the Rom- anians vote 92 per cent for an im- "rlalist regime which they dill‘! not flout?
