PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS "Fellow members of our Feder- ation,—on behalf of the executive of the Prince Edward Island Teachers’ Federation I herewith submit the report of the activities for the year ending April 1936. "The total membership of the Federation for the past year was 510 (made up of 431 paid-up mem- bers and '19 first-year teachers who are admitted free). This enrolment represents approximately 80% of the teachers of the province. Every teacher enjoys advantages which have been brought about by the work of the organized profession. No teacher wishes to enjoy advant- ages won by the efforts of others without sharing in the movement to further improve the status of teachers, the profession of teach- ing. the cause of education. To those who have not enrolled this year, may I say, support the 17:0- fession that supports you. Expression of Sorrow "May I respectfully express the sincere sorrow of the members of the P.E;.I.T.lF‘. in the loss which Canada. the Empire, and the world have suffered in the death of our beloved sovereign, King George V. “Death has removed during the the Hon. Walter M. Lea, Premier of the pmvinoe. In his passing we 1 el that the cause of education an the members of the teaching profession have lost a true friend “'l‘eachers throughout the prov- ince learned with regret of the death of Mr. Brewer Auld, fo:mer teacher and supervisor of schools. whose connection with the teaching profession dates back to I915. His last service to the Island _along educational lines was in connec- tion with the school fairs last fall. Winner of Memo:-la.l Prise "Mr. John Downing of Summer- side High School was the winner of the J. D. Seaman Memorial Prize for 1935 donated by the P.E.I.TP. to the pupil standing highest in English in the matricu- lation examinations. "seven executive meetings were held during the year. These were well attended and an active inter- est was shown in the work of the Federation." "Local conventions were, as usu- al, the opening feature of the school year, and were taken ad- vantage of by nearly all the teach- ers. These were held at nine differ- ent centres uu ,, ‘ the prov- ince. Thus conventions have I stimulating and encouraging ef- fect. The misgivinge and doubts, particularly of the beginning teach- er, subside in the helpful and hopeful atmosphere created by a‘ mass meeting or co-workers in personal touch with the leaders and officials of the profeuion. “Miss Ethel Taylor, secretary- Treiisurer of the P.E.I.T.l"., attend- ed all,loccl conventions and spoke in the inferuts of our errganization.

Macdoiiald, Prin- cipal of Queen Square School. and,- Miss siihei Tanton of Bummorsi‘ High school as oonvenors. two committees worked inde stig- ably to make Education Week a success in our province. A general circular was prepared and for- Whfded to teachers, members of .‘the Legislature, officials of the ‘ Civic Government, societies inter- ested in the betterment of the bom- munity and to others interested in education. A special letter, seeking the co-operation of the clergy was ‘ prepared and forwarded to all clergy on P. E. I. A group of “suggestions" was compiled and forwarded to all teachers, and a. special "dodger" was included in these letters. "The followin speakers were ‘heard from 01'' Y: Prof. J.

The press also gave our week editorial comment. “On behalf of the P.lE.‘.I.'I‘.F. to Mr Leo F.

Teachers‘ All! Service "I am very much pleased to re- port the great success achieved by the "Teachers’ Aid" service, direct- ed by Mr. c. F. I-line, vice-principal of West Kent School. In seeking for ways and means whereby our Federation might prove more truly helpful to its members. y°l1l' exec‘ utlve was reminded that many of our teachers are constantly W095 with difficulties in our work with little or no opportunity of discus- sion with fellow-teachers.

"Mr, I-line has prepared answers to more than a thousand ill18Stl°ll3- 258 letters, averaging 4 fl1l€5‘l°“5 per letter. were received and aris- wered during the year now closing. The cardinal points of this service are these. and in this order of im- portance:—- “(1) The names of correspond- ents are held in strict confidence by the director alone. “(2) Replies are sent out prompt- 1y. ‘‘(3) Must contain reasonably correct answers. “Correspondents are assured lvhfll: no name has been dlvulzed 8-i any time by the director, and they know that replies have been promptly mailed them. Many teachers have expressed to Mt l-line their appreciation of this service. School supervisors have emphasized its value.

Mr. I-line has rendered this service to the Fed- eration without my remuneration whatever. The one interest. the sole motive force that has impelled the director and his committee in this work——a work which has in- voived a great many hours of ei- fort and study——has been a Emil‘ ine desire to be helpful to those engaged in a common task. “To Mr. nine and his commit- tee I wish to express, on behalf of the P.E.I.T.F. our sincerest thanks and appreciation of the worthy service rendered the teaching pro- fession of the province through the '1' ‘- ' Aid" service. Totlie in- coming executive I would suggut that steps be taken to arrange for the continuation of the "'lbaolien Aid" service during the coming year. Difficulties Due to Depression "The school term which closed in June, loss, was one in which the people throughout the’ rural dis- tricts of our ..i'ovinoe have felt the depression very severely.

Pennan- elioe of tenure is very desirable, provided always that satisfactory progress is made. “Accordingly, a committee with Mr. James Mi-Beth as chairman was appointed to study the question of teacher tenure. This committee met in Charlottetown on January 31, 1936, and after careful study and consideration, presented the following recommendations: Committee Recommendations “(l) That section 10 of the Pub- lic School Act be rigidly enforced. (2) That the annual meeting of the ratepayers. as referred to in section 47 of the Public School Act, be held on the first Tuesday in June, instead of on ,the third Tuesday in June, as at present. “(:0 That the termination, or continuation of teachers’ contracts be dealt with by the Board of Trustees previous to the annual school meeting_ “(4) That clause 6 of the Teach- er-Trustees contract he struck out and the following clause inserted: (a) This contract shall continue i.ii effect from school year to school year, excepting as regards the supplementary allowance agreed upon, which shall be fixed after each annual school meeting; pro- vided either party hereto shall be at liberty to terminate this agreement by giving to the other party three months’ notice in writing at any time, or one month‘: notice, expir- ing on the thirtieth day of June in any year. "May 1 suggest, that these re- commendations be given your care- ful consideration at this convention. and that a resolution be brought in tomorrow morning concerning them.

This oornrnittee, with Mr. E. J. H. Morrissey, vice-prln- cipal of Queen Square School as chairman, met in Charlottetown on Feb. 22, 1936, and after considering the question decided that it was an ihopportune time to approach the government for a. raise in salary. Teachers’ Guide and Handbook "At a recent executive meeting Mr. Lloyd Henderson, O‘Leary, was appointed convenor of a committee to deal with the matter of a Teach- er's Guide and Handbook to the eoir:se of studies for Prince Edward Island. This committee is at pres- ent making a study of the courses followed in the various provinces. They have not yet had time to complete their work, but a. good be- ginning has been made. ~ Continuance of Library Ufled "In view of the fact that the Carnegie Library Demonstration has offered an almost unlimited source of information which has greatly helped the teachers in their work, and because of the deep in- terest in and great use" of the lib- rary by the children of the Drov- ince, it was felt that the P.E.l.T.l"- should use its influence to insure the continuation of this service. Ac- cordingly, Mr. Leo F, Macdonsld. principal of Queen Square school. was appointed by your executive to present to Hon. Mark R. Mc- Ouigan, Minister of Education. on behalf of the P.E.I.T.l". a resolution luging the government of the province to maintain the present splendid library service rendered the people of Prince Edward Island. "In conclusion, I wish to thank you for the honor conferred upon me when you appointed me pres- ident. 'Ib the members of the ex- ecutive and teachers who have faithfully and willingly served on various committees during the past year, and particularly to the past president. Mr. J. W. F. Mccallum.

As a sub- ll-ltllive. we had been making use of our hour of Recollection before the Blessed sacrament. The mem- bers. knowing the grade that flow from this holy practice, have been very faithful to this religious de- votion. “In conclusion. I want to thank all those who have in any way helped us in our several under- takings. The Holy Name Club, Tile Knights of Columbus have at all times been very generous with their Hall which has been at our disposal, Just for the asking. I also wish to thank the officers. coni- inittees and members for their 103781 support and co-operation during the past year. To the officers of the ensuing year and to the sub-Division as a whole I ask for continued success and united effort." REVIEW OF YEAR'S ACTIVITIES Fifteenth Annual Report of the C. W.

Our Feast Day—The Lady of Good Coun.sel.—April 26, was m- tingly observed by the members at- tending Holy Mass and receiving Communion. Oen invitation of the Provincial Treasurer a representation of our members attended the celebration for the King’s Silver Jubilee——May 6. We were happy on this occasion to show this mark of our loyalty, as 9. national organization to His Majesty, our beloved sovereign but during the year our hearts were saddened by the news of His Majes- ty's passing to the Great Beyond, 9851!! we were called upon. to at- tend thc Memorial Service at the Basilica, Tuesday, January 28, as a tribute to his memory. At the May meeting, the newly appointed executive were hostesses at a dainty luncheon, the guest of honor being our Past President. Miss Florence Dorsey. National Convention The National Convention was held at Ottawa in June, and our Diocese was represented by Mrs. Frank Murray, Diocesan President, who brought back a very excellent re- port. We noted one important change that was made in the An- nual Scholarship which makes is more even distribution of the money namely, instead of one girl for all Canada, getting the two thousand dollars ($2,000) Scholarship, now one girl in each Province will re- ceive e. two hundred dollar ($200) scholarship. ‘This will be deter- mined by matriculation to Prince of Wales College, in our Province; that is the girl who makes the highest mark in her examinations in July, provided she is a daughter. a sister or a ward of a member of C. W. L., or a member of the Bus- iness Girls‘ Unit. will be the win- ner for P. E. I. Diocesan Convention The annual Diocesan Convention was held in Georgetown in Septem- ber. Our President attended as a delegate from our Sub-Division. There were also a. number of our members who attended as visitors ——all reported a very successful con- vention irnd this was very pleasing to our sub-division as the presiding officer, Mrs. Frank Murray, is one of our members. The National President, Mrs. F. P. Coffey, Mon- troiil, also honored the Convention with her presence. At the October meeting our Pres- iclcnt—M.rs. J. B. Plemins.

On Armistice Day. a wreath was placed on the Soldiers‘ Monument, during the Memorial Service, in memory of the fallen soldiers by our sub-Division. The presentation was made by Mrs. Flemln . In November Mrs. A. J. I-Iowatt was appointed Convenar of our Study Club, and she at once organ- izod a very successful group. This has proven very educational and provided an evening of profitable enjoyment to those who have at- tended. The Convener, will no doubt give a. detail ‘ account of this activity. Olthollc Collegiate Club Another very important phase of C. W. L. work is the Catholic O01- legiate Club. This consists of the Catholic Students, attending Coi- ieges, in the city. These were called to meet in October, and Father Mc- Cardle was appointed their chap- lain, and together with our Edu- action Committee, very successfulhv conducted the activities of this Club during the whiter months. The Knights of Columbus also oo-op- crated in this work by giving the use of their spacious rooms to these young people as well as helping to supervise the various i nations which consist of educational meet- ings Thursday afternoons when the students are - dressed by some prominent er or given scrip- tural lessons by their Chaplain. on Saturday evening they met for thcir weekly soclals which are al- lincen thanks." the ways “ by -. of educetiulcl ofilllnittcl. Rev. Chaplain, Madam President, ' TH UMMERSIDE GUARDI T H RON ICLE In this connection we wish to i express our thanks to the Knights of Columbus, for the use of their Hall, as well as the Holy Name so- ciety. Our Bub-Division also wish- e-! to exlness thanks to the Colleg- iate Club. who have existed the work of the League. by putting on ' entertainments and turning over ih° ilmceeds to us for our chari- table work. The Aired and Infirm Committee, have as usual attended to the needs of those at the Provincial Infirm- ary. in the way or religious articles. They also supplied the usual Christ- mas treat from our members and 3190 senerous donations from some of our business men for an or which C. W. L. expresses deep grat- itude. In remembering these our poor we feel we are doing some. thing worth while for has not our Lord Himself said, "Inasmuch as ye have done unto these the least of my brethren ye have done unto e." From the staffs of the Insti- t tlons we received grateful ack- nowledgement. We also sent our usual quota to the Santa. Pal Fund of char- lottetown Guardian. The Social Service Committee, 5150 d95€i'V85 Special mention for the great work they are doing in helping to clothe the needy—thjs group of our members meet once every week in the sewing-room or tlllfi City Hospital, and sew for this p pose. In all over nine hundred (900) articles have bs.i distributed where most needed during the year. Our Convener of Sick visiting Committee, reports having made 0V9!‘ l01'ly (4')) visits to those of our members who were patients in the Hospital, as well as those who had sickness in their homes. our Convener of Magazines re- ports that she secured several sub- scriptions (new and renewal) dur. ing the year and urge: on all the necessity of becoming subscribers to this, our official organ—“'I‘he Can- adian League." Our Convenor of the Press Com- mittee has reported our meetings and also forwarded the reports of yearly activities to the Canadian League, as well as attending to any advertising. Our Corresponding secretary has very capably discharged her duties by attending to all matters of cor- respondence lncluding letters of condolence, thanks, and courtesy al- so the sending of Mass Cards, Con- gratulatory Cards. and notices of our meetings to the Chaplain and to the Executive Members. Finances our Treasurer deserves credit for the manner in which all financial matters were looked after. This re- quires a, great deal of time. our Treasury has been kept up during the year by Cake Sales. Card Par- ties and Meals served during Feb- ruary. The proceeds of most of .these went to Social service De- partment of City Hospital; in all one hundred and fifteen dollars ($116) has been paid in to that Department, together with fifty dol- liirs ($50) paid last year on this year's quota making a. total of one hundred and sixty—flve dollars ($165). Prizes were also presented to City schools and St. Dunstan's University, as well as donations sent to Western Relief, on two dif- ferent oocaslons. Masses have been offered for all deceased members of the immediate family as well as for the fallen soldiers on Armis- tice Day. Our National Obligations including budget. Sisters of Service, per capita tax and Scholarship, have all been paid as well as our Dio- cesan Tax. The Treasurer's Report will give a summarized account of all this. In January, our members in common with all the Ladies‘ So- cieties assisted in a sale of tickets for a play put on by St. Dunstan's Students. for the benefit of the Sis- ters of Martha. Building Fund. Af- ter the play, at the request of the Sisters our President. assisted by members sewed the cast of the play dainty refreshments for which the Sisters sent an expression, of thanks. Welcome to New Men-ibe I To those members who have joined our sub-Division during the past. year we extend .a. hearty wel- come as from time to time some of our older members are compelled to give up activity and to take the place of these we need new mem- bers and it is the wishes of the Hierarchy of the Church that all Catholic Women. in good standing be members of this great National Organization, we conclude that we should have a much larger mem- bership. During the summer. our Province was honored by 8. visit from Their Excellencies the Governor-General and Lady Besborough. Her Lady- ship's visit was of more than or- dinary interest to us as just a month previous I-Ier Excellency had honored our National Convention, at Ottawa. by her presence. our Sub-Division was pleased to present the Countess, on her arrival in Charlottetown. with a. boquet of roses as a token of loyalty. The visit of the scouts Leaders. Lord and Lady Baden-Powell was also of interest to us as Girl Guide worlflis understood to be a part of C. W. L. work. our members were invited to the Confederation Cham- ber io hear Lady Baden-Powell speak during her visit and it was my happy privilege as well as other members of the League to be pres- em: and it was lust marvelous to hear the enthusiasm of this Lid? about this great work of training the young. During the year fifteen meetings have been held including regular, special and executive meetings. To all our members who suffered bereavement during the year we offer our sincere sympathy and to those of our mom‘ s who are ill we express the wish that they may soon be restored to health and able to be with us again. --'l‘Iil- column In non-rel for IIDI of iced interest but advertising of I newly nature III lnlertal II I 2 cent: 1 word uI.rietl)' Dlilhlo In advance. —l-‘OB.
