Mr. Munroe sold that "many precious ties bind me to Prince Edward Island, not the least of which is the friendship I have formed through the years with many of your members who have made a contribution to the educa- tional lind professional life of the Dominion out of sll proportion to their numbers". Taking for his subject "Teach-I era for our times". Mr. Munroe remarked that it was difficult to find a phrase which would pro- perly define s teacher.

Normal Schools The speaker went on to say that about the time this description was being given of A teacher. nor- mal Schools were being establish- ed ln this Country. The first to be established on Prince Edward Is- land was in 1856. "The men re- sponsible for the founding of these normal Schools had a clear and penetrating understanding of the teacher‘: task" said Mr. Munroe. For these men, the teacher was more than a negative character - a ntan who couldn't fight ,or couldn't preach or couldn't plead A case in court. They all recognize certain positive qualities that a teacher must have and cultivate and certain specific skills that he P°m'“-‘"1 5°I°“°°' "Eh 1°“ "‘°°“‘.mu.st diligently practice, "said _I.he_ speaker." Mr. Munroe went onto show that‘ as education became available to larger number of pupils it was .found that the professions of medic- ine. engineering. law. etc. became more and more attractive and many found that the teaching profession was a convenient stepping stone to something else in a more lucra- tive field.

Minister of Education. In addres- sing the opening-session of the ventlon yesterday. Following »ls the text of Mr. Clark’: address. "I am grateful and appreciative of your invitation to me to ad- dress you this morning. I sin conscious. however. of my recent connection with _tho Department of Education. and realize that I have still much to learn about our educational problems. In con- versatlon with the'Provinclal Min- isters of Education present last fall during the Canadian Educa- tion Association Convention at Halifax I learn ‘ that among this group I was the only one who had not been a school teacher. I must, therefore, perform my duties in the capacity of a layman as- sociated with the men and women of the teaching profession. "In consideri... what I might say to you this morning I thought perhaps you might permit me to ‘talk shop‘ and review to some ex- tent the leglslatinn pertaining to education which was enacted dur- ing the recent session. Perhaps many of you may have followed most of this in the press. but I trust that some review may now be In order. I would like to_tell you something more than has al- ready sppeared in the Legislature or in the press by explaining to you why certain changes pertain- ing to our school law were made and the effect of those changes so far as I can now see. "In all I presented to the Legis- lature xix bills in connection with Education. Four of these were amendments while two were new. The amendments were made to the School Act. the Education De- partment Act, the Teachers’ Super- annuation Act and the Teacher's Pension Act. The new acts con- sisted of an Act to provide for the Rehsbllltstlon of Disabled Persons and the Prince of Wales College Act. Besides this legisla- tion there was also some notice taken of a report presented to the House from the Committee on Education. Regardless of the dif- ference of opinions which may have arisen as a result of these discussions and deliberations I think it is a good thing for our Legislators and the public to be- come conscious of our educational problems which must be solved if Education is to progress and go forward in our Province. school Act Amendments "May I first discuss the Amend- ments to the School Act. The first amendment was a section added giving the Minister of Edu- cation power to suspend or cancel the license of a teacher guilty of persistent neglect of duty. incom- petency, drunkenness or Immoral conduct. This, as you may ob- serve. has never been in our Act in any form because It would be very seldom. .If ever. used or re- qulred. With the general high standard prevailing among your profession In this Province I trust it will never have to be used. Yet there are always exceptions to the general rule and this is I certain safeguard to the profes- sion and a guarantee of the qual- ity of a teacher's license. There is also the protection to the teacher of an appeal to the Lieu- ti-nant~Governor-ln-Councll. This section is not new to School Acts and ours was copied largely from the Ontario Act.

"The increases become etfectlvi with the next school year and actuallygequlre an additional :55, 000 making a total estimated cost to the Province of teachers‘ sal- aries and supplements of 5&3, 000. In addition to this amount it you add the salaries of our school supervisors. administrativ- officials and teachers at Prince of Wales College and the Vocational School. we will in the current fis- cal year for the first time in the history of the Province exceed the million dollar salary figuri from the Provincial Treasury alone. To be exact $1.050.Tf0. This is higher than the entire Pro- vincial budget in 1927 at which time the total of teachers’ salaries and supplements was $244,000. Dulllelnrylolres "There is also on additional point that I should mention and that concerns the dual source of teachers’ salaries from both local and provincial funds. Our Gov- ernment ranks second highest in Caneds in the percentage paid at the Provincial level. The only exception In Newfoundland where the per caplta expenditure on education is low. Actually. there- fore, our Government effort here in the field of education sppears in this respect to be the great- est smong the Provinces of Can- ada. I trust that the Govern- ment effort may continue to be somewhat matched at the local level in order that our schools may progress and prosper. I be- lieve that the people of this Prov- ince are becoming more conscious each year of the need of educa- clan and the value of an adequate school service to the community and that they will continue to put forth a greater effort to pro- vide the best school facilities, and make improvements as far as pos- iible. “A further group of amendments provided increased salaries under certeln conditions to Grade XI and XII teachers. The conditions are that the schools must con- form to the regulations of our Department which provide for no ceptance of non-resident pupils. limited fees. a reasonable '- . of students per teacher. and among other things. degree status for the teachers of these grades. Other Amendments "There have been several minor amendments concerning the met- oo hod of electing trustees. poll tax on non-property holders. publica- tion of delinquent tax payers and schools were staffed by young wo- men wlth little experience and in- career. Edward Thrlng of England said at that time. “We must depend. on system, because we can't de- pend on having the man".

He pointed out that it is the problem of educators to determine what makes good teach-| era; "our challenge is to banish from our ranks those whose influ-I ences in nero". The first requirement for a good teacher. “he added." is "conipeb enee". A teacher should be shit to think and plan for himself rsthu than depend on teaching manuals and aids. He must be master of his subject and compet- ent to Judge the needs of the child. “We must rise above the level of Incompetence and be able to organ. in the subject material in a clear ferior qualifications or by younz zood teacher" In men on their way to some other Munroe felt thst teaching I nsed teachers.
