The teachers were promised by s previous Government that on receipt of additional a from Ottawa the teachers d re- ceive first consideration. Indeed we have been led to believe the: those seeking that; subsidy based their claims largely on the fact that need of funds for educational readjustment constituted our great- est fiscal need at, that, time. This subsidy was granted our province, yet. to date we have been cease- lcsSly but frultlessly clamoring for our promised share. 2. The average salaries paid P.E.I. teachers ls generally lower than that paid teachers elsewhere in the British Domlnions. For proof of this we refer you to C.T.F‘. Sal- ary Report. bulletins which are now in your hands. We firmly believe that the boys and girls of this province are as entitled to receive as good an op- portunity for educational advan- tages as those in any other part of the British Empire, and will have as much need for such in these changing times. 3. It. was stated at our Easter Convention by our Ministry of Edu- cation that. we now have "s. splen- did body of teachers." We believe that if this proposed sliding scale of salaries is adopted it will result in an even better body oi more satisfied teachers. 4. It. would tend to create per- manence in the pFOIBSSIOII, thereby raising the general level of edu- cational achievement. The pupils would benefit im- measurably, and we believe the whole aspect of community life would Ull(l£‘l_'§0 in time a complete transformation.

In short a new spirit would infuse the public concept of living to the ultimate benefit of our whole pro- vincc. This is no mere wish but; has been proved beyond doubt.

SUMMERSIDE abbot-The unprlnclpled tactics of such regimes as those of Hitler and stalln, yet, these men have convin- clngly demonstrated one basis truth in the im lng of their subversive doctr nes on an un- willln public. To accomt-lllfih the" diiibolc designs as speedily as pos- slble it was found expedient to start at the foundations of society — youth in their formative years. And not: till sufficient of those youth had grown to youn manhood could those tyrants cha enge world su- premscy. Cnn it. not be fundamentally as true in safeguarding and strength- ening our democratic princi es that our youth be placed under he most experienced. efficient, end ener- getic instructors as this enlightened ago will permit? Can we afford to take chances when the veryfound- ntlons of our democratic liberties an: challenged? The inevitable price id for folly or ignorance is ruin. Eta has been shown that manv of our youth are not now recelvlntl’ that, educational rtuntly con- sistent with the nee s of our times. It has been estimated by the 1929 Royal Commission that the cost 0f establishing such needed change would be in the vicinity of $100,000. For the sake of $100,000 per year spread over the whole of this is- land are our boys and girls to be denied the benefits of i0fl¢h€r8 end better educations opportuni- ties. Everything for which we ask has been demanded many, man time by our Superintendent o Edu- cation in his annual reports, b our Supervisors as well. by the RI Commissions on Education aplwlnl- eti by t-he Government of the pro- vince in 1929, and by many of our leading provincial organizations. The need for change has been ad- mitted by manv governments from time to time, by the st govem- merit, ln its brief to he Howell Commission when it. stated that the educational services oi‘ this prov- Inc; suffered to the extent of $101792. We teachers representing es we do every district in the province, in direct touch as we are with com- munlty opinion, feel that. we are in a favored position to interpret the feelings and wishes of the people in regard to educational re- quirements and changes. we feel confident. when we say that. in pre- senting our case to the Govem- ment. we are but echoing the voice of the opinion of all fair-minded people in this rovincc. It is our considered opln On that the o- ple of this province do su por n tyur views and claims. t at they do recognize whither we are drift- lng educationally. that, they do de- sire for their children equal edu- cational opportunities with the children of our more favored prov- lnces and that with the assurance of adequate service they will responsibility. I While stressing the fact that there is pressing need for a pro- spectlve living wage for those who may enter the teaching rofessioii, we do not lose eight o the fnct that other chances must take place, step by step with salary increases. For instance, we maintain, rind we feel that you agree with n5 in this, the small district unit of admini- stmtion as at present functioning is a complete failure and is a con- tributing factor to the general un- satisfactory state of affairs in edu- cational administration in this pro- vince. We therefore strongly urge that. experimental steps be ini- medletely taken in the formation of larger Administrative Units and that Cent-ml Grammar school fa- cilities be established and maln- ialned in each unit. Some system of vocational training, etc._ could be substituted in the local school or central school We feel that this will eliminate extravagance. guarantee tax collection, equalize cost. of maintaining om- schools, equalize educational opportunities and mnkc for better all round edu- cational benefits to our 000019. Along with salary increases rind the inauguration of largcr units a1 would also suggest that some systflll of Bummer School Training toi teachers be instituted and conduct- ed 0n P. E.
