At times owing to the thickness 0. the falling snow they were un- able to see one another. Fog horns point lights and harbour lights all played an important part in bring- ing these three ships safely to harbour. The total catch of the three draggers is approximately 200,000 lbs.. mainly haddock and flound- ers. Besides full holds, each ship carried a part cargo on deck. This is a record catch for this season of the year in this area and will provide added work for the com- munity of Souris for the ii t few days during a period w ich Is normally slack.

The men's choir was in charge of the music at the evening ser- vice, and sang a number of beau- tiful Christmas carols. The theme of Mr. Fraser's ser- mon was an interpretation of the origin and composition of the carols sung at this service. VAST CONTINENT A teacher's workshop was held in Montague High School on Thurs- day evening, December 13. Twenty- nine teachers were in attendance. including Montague and district tencberl; and also representatives from the Mlllview and Murray River workshops which were held in late November. Cecil Let E . president of the teachers local. called the meet- ing to order. It was moved by Mr. I..Stewart that Mr. C. LcLacheur and Miss Elsie I-ffckox act as president and secretary. A motion made by Mrs. E. Ross and sec- onded by Mr. L- Stewart elected Mrs .H. MacPhee and Mrs. G. Ross to the press committee. Mr. LeLacheur reported the ob- jection that meetings were not well enough advertised. It was de- cided that in future teachers would be notified individually by their president of their local workshop. Professional M ines now available to teachers. and also the possibilities of an Island publi- cation were discussed. Objections raised against an Island magazine were the high cost of publication and the difficulty of securing ma-, terial. It was noted that the Tea- cher's Horizon is disappearing due to lack of support. MAGAZINE As the outcome of much dis- cussion, it was decided that a com- mittee be nppointed to PFCPETE 3 leaflet for distribution at the next district workshop. This leaflet Will serve as a trial magazine. Tea- chers are to send their problems and suggestions to the E n of the committee. The staff of Montague High offered to do the printing of the leaflet. The first publication is to in- clude outline maps; a plan for teaching a lesson in early Can- adian History; an article about the present course in grammar, and ways of co-ordinating it with Entrance Examination Standards; a lesson on instalment buying ac- cording to Batstone's Arith etic; and finally. an article on disci- pline. It was moved by Mrs. E. Ross. and seconded by Mrs- G. Whiteway. that the committee in charge consist of hrs. I. Hickox for primary work; Mrs. A. Gillis. intermediate: and Mrs. Z. Boud- realt' senior. Teachers expressed their desire to have some set of examinations. other than their own by which they might compare the work of their students with the work of students in other schools. Mr. J. Hughes offered to make available to the teachers at the next dis- trlct workshop. copies of the mid- term examinations which are to be given in Montague High. Mr. Hughes, at the beginning of his address, expressed his pleasure in seeing so many tea- chers in attendance. and also stated that it was the first time in his teaching experience that he had seen teachers endeavouring to settle their own problems. in his report on Federation Affairs. Mr. 4 Africa is three times the size of if-Europe. while North America ls.newl.v not quite twice as big as Europe. ' Hughes told the teachers about a apppointed Certification Board. and of a recent meeting District Workshop Held At Montague High School held to discuss the appointment of a Royal Commission. He also re-I ported that a delegation of five has been appointed to take the teacher's resolutions to the govern- ment. Teachers were advised that an examination is to be written by any student desiring to attend Montague High. This exam is not an entrance examination. but u test of general knowledge to in- sure the coverage of work. No deci ' was reached as to which would be more beneficial, the Dresentation of a salary brief to the government at this time. or to wait for the appointment of a Royal Commission. - Teachers exchang-ed ideas of ways of using workbooks There appeared to be some doubt as to the value of these books. Tho mlilority of the members felt that more could be accomplished if they divided into primary, in- termediate, and senior groups for part of the meeting. It was decided that the next meeting of the district workshop be held in Montague High School on Thursday, February 14. The local workshops at Miliview and Murray River are to be held prior to that date. Mrs. A. Gillis. Mrs. H. MacPhee, Mrs. L. Leeco. Mrs, E. Rog, Mrs. M. Fraser. Mrs, A. scuuy, Miss G. Soloman, Mrs. K. Mac- Donald, and Mrs- l. Hickox vol. unteered to be on the refreshment committee for the next meeting. Mr. J. Hughes moved the ad- journment of the meeting.
