A good teacher should be given respect. \as befits the profession and should command this respect by having a personality suitable to the profession, scholarship with wide educational background moral quality, love for children and for the work, and a sense of
vocation and dedication.
Teachers must realize the im- portance of their responsibility. By admitting only‘ high‘ quality‘ teachers and by paying a salary suitable for such a basic profes- sion, many of the difficulties now experienced would be eliminated.
In referring to the quantity of teachers, he distributed a stast- ical estimate of the present situa- tion, and of that of the next few years of elementary and secon- dary school teachers in Canada which clearly shows the dire need

“(With) increasing pressure, upon the world’s 11 atur al re- sources, the panel is convinced that in the next few decades many such developments will be- come economically attractivle.”
The report noted that there are political obstacles to developing international rivers, such as a current water dispute beetween India and Pakistan.
It suggested that the UN first report basic facts on selected in- ternational river basins, then up- praise the potentialities of each and finally work up a prelimi- nary plan. of development. »WORK OUT AGREEMENT

The panel said “a special of- fice or_ unit” in the UN secretar- iat should collect data on river basins, .co-ordinate river-develop men-t work of all UN agencles and help them arrange technical aid to member countries in this field.
