continues to be a major problem in this Province: and indeed in all provinces of Canada. The number taking the teacher training course in Prince of Wales College this year is approximately the same as last. Undoubtedly the introduction. of Grade XII into some, of the high schools of the Province has had its effect for this year on the number entering the teacher train- ing classes.

To encourage young people to take the professional course. for t the amount of financial assistance made available has been increased to 803.00. One half of this is in the form of a loan and the remaining half is a grant, pro- viding two years' tecching service are. given following graduation.

SUIEIEI SCHOOL

A very successful summer school with an attendance of 60 was con- ducted at Prince of Wales College in July. Two groups oi teachers were in attendance - experienced teachers and those returning to the profession who wished "re- fresher" courses, and young people who had been teaching under Per- mit. A number of these latter look forward to qualifying for license. In addition to the. sixty mentioned above. approximately forty attended summer schools out- side the Province.

Prizes and Scholarships. Pro- vision was made for additional en- touragement for young people to continue their education by ex- tending the list of prizes. scholar- ships. and loans under the Stu- dent Ald Programme. Prizes be- gin at the end of Grade X level and these with other forms of as-

The High School Examinations given in June marked the close of the initial year during which a four year high school programme was uniform throughout the Prov- ince., Hithnrto. Prince of Wales College and St. Dunstan's College operated t eir high school depart- nmm on he four year or grade twelve plan, while other schools attempted the completion of the, work in the eleventh grade. For the sake of uniformity and also, what ismore important, for the rake of a better foundation in the high school subjects. the decision was ,made for a uniform pro- 'rgn1nlF, ending with the twelfth grade.

Consequently, the new grade eleven programme introduced in Sgptgmhf, 136, was examined upon in June. 1954. The papers. prepared and repd by the Atlantic Provinces Examining Board, were written by 210 students. Of these, 137 were successful in Pissing all gubjects. The readers of the pa- pers commented very favourably an the. quality of the work shown by the Prince Edward Island stu- dents under the new programme. prepared

SCHOOL nunmmq

Under the school building and improvement project steady pro- gress has been made. New build- Ings were opened at Carleton. Newtown Cross. Fredericton and Bear River North. New class- rooms were added and extensive alterations made in many schools- In .11 approximately 290 districts rnceived financial assistance to- wards improvements of various

School attendance contlnuesdto be well maintained. indeed the figures for both average attend- ance and percentage of attend- ance are, the highest on record- ll'!R33 and 34.8 respectively. The increased attendance is in part due to the fact that many pupils are remaining longer in school than formerly. This is particularly true in regard to those continuing through Grades Xi and XII. The attenda'nce, in these grades has not decreased at Prince of Wales College and at the same time it is steadily increasing in other high schools. Family allowances. too, continue to play'their part in improved school attendance.

interesting and profitable innova- tion in the field of Adult Educa- tion was the holding last spring of a number of short courses for school trustees. secretaries and ratepayers. Local school admin- istration. including the proper con- duct of Annual School Meetings. was the central theme. Results ob- served to date indicate that their effort was well worth while. The library service to schools was ex- tended and special attention was given to the selection of books suitable for young readers. The library is prepared to service ev- ery school In the Province with boxes of carefully selected books.

Indeed, it has been necessary to refuse admit- tance In some of the trades cours- es because of limited scape and equipment. it is unfortunate. how- e.vel-. that it continues in be so difficult to develop among our young men an interest in agri- culture as A subject of study. For the first time a full year's course in Home Economics is be- ing offered to the young women of the Province. This course is progressing vs-,ry favourably. Special Classes. Patients in the Provincial Sanatorium and vic- tims of Poliomyelitis are provided with education facilities through the co-operation of the Dnpartment and the Ssnatorium authorities. Two teachers are employed. each of whom is giving excellent serv- ice. During the year ended June 30. 1&4. 46' pupils mceived in- struction. 23 of whom were in the

guetus. Alberton and East Wilt- shire.

The largest building project to be completed during the year was that undertaken by the Board of School Trustees of Charlottetown. I'he Queen Charlotte Junior High school now mpletud and in op- eration has relieved to a. lame ex- tent over-crowding In the city schools. and at the same time it h preparing to offer a broader programme of work to meet the varying needs and aptltudes of the pupils attending. Charlotte- town. and indeed the whole Prov- ince. may properly be proud of the Queen Charlotte Junior High.

Curriculum and T irtbooks. Cur- riculum study has gone on under the chairmanship of Mr. ideal-(ensie. The work was carried act by committees largely repre- sentative of the active teaching body. both elements 1 "id hlsh sehooi.' In addition to those deal- ing with the courses for Grades XI and R111. t ere were commit- tees deisling with Arithmetic (Grades I-VI), English Issngusge (Grades VII & VIII). and Science Ml-ades VII-X). With reference to the last named much needed texts in Science were" recommend- ed. These were later approved by the Minister and are. now in use in the schools. To make possible Che proper teaching of this import- ant subject kits of basic science equipment and materials have been procured and are- being sold to schools at half the

the remaining 50 per cent of the cost. This is, the Department con- siders. a distinct step forward as the schools generally have been eovnpleteiy bare' of any teaching equipment in the field of science. !.I1I'lLA'I'ION

Necessary amendments to the lchool Act were enacted to pro- vide for a fifty dollar basic in- crease to all teachers and for an additional fifty dollar service in- orement. A new basis for the sal- aries of teachers of Grades x1 and XI! was also provided.
