lems in the field of educa- M with a View to strengthening 0 educational effort. Changes bften made in respect to the - ations governing‘ the issuing

of teachers’ licenses. The use of] third’ class licenses has been dis- continued. A new superior first class license has been provided. This requires an additional year of academic study. At the begin- ning of the present school year salaries for teachers fully quali-._ fled for a first class license were I Increased by One -Hundred Dol- lars, and the superior first c'ass license holders received Two Hundred Dollars over the mini- mum salaries provided by statute.‘ To encourage more teachers to qualify for superior‘ first class licenses, it is proposed to increase this amount by an additional One Hundred Dollars. My Government will also increase the salaries of a?l teachers with‘ experience by adding two addi- tional salary increments. A new salary schedule providing for increased remuneration for tea- chers at Prince of Wales College ‘ and the Provincial Normal School was instituted last fa.l. Higher salaries were also paid to the teachers ofthe Model School. -

“Changes will be made in the field of normal training. Matri- culation (Grade‘,_XH) will be. made the standard—"of‘ admission to the Normal School and all courses will be placed on a university level. ’

“Improved transportation faci- lities for high school‘pupils is a necessity. Additional assistance to boards of school trustees operating rural bus services has been provided. My Government will further increase these grants and will propose an extension of the services to all high school grades.

(d) To make a. return at the

ther consideration to the many representations made suggesting the formation of larger units of school administration. My Go- vernment‘ recognizes the advan- tages offered by this type of school organization, but believes

its success in this Province de-.

pends on the formation of such iiiits at the local level on a roluntary basis. It is proposed to ntroduce changes in the legisla- .1on affecting regional high schools which may be operated by a regional high school unit or by a larger unit of school ad- ministration.

“Greatly increased grants for scholarships and bursaries at Prince of Wales College were provided in September 1957. My Government will continue to re- quest the Federal authorities to increase the appropriation avail- able to this Province for student. aid whereby we share with the Federal Department of Labour student loans on an interest-free basis.

“My Government has also ex- tended the system of allowances to teachers for periods of illness to make such allowances ‘on a cumulative basis... ‘ - W PREFERENTIAL FARM RATE “My Government will introduce legislation for your consideration proposing a preferential farm rate on farm real estate other than farm residences for school assessment ‘purposes. “Subsidizing the cost of school text books is very important to the welfare of our children and- their parents, and it is proposed to extend this policy to cover a wider range of books.

“Maximum progress in the field of education can only be achieved through a greater na- tional effort. Although education is within the field of provincial jurisdiction,‘ my Government is willing to co-operate with the Federal Government in the utili- zation of federal grants to im- prove and expand our educational services, and will welcome as well, a greater degree of national leadership and responsibility. “Our farmershave reason to be thankful for a bountiful har- vest in 1957. The farm of Prince further consideration to the man Edward Island produced excel- lent yields in all field crops. The yield of potatoes was possibly the largest in the history of the Province. Regrettably, farmers were hindered in their harvest operatic/ns by adverse weather conditions and by the scarcity of efficient farm labour, resulting in some loss of potatoes by frost. “My Government notes with satisfaction the high standard of animal health in the Province. During the past year Prince Ed- ward Island has been declared a brucell-osis certified area under “To ; assist our farmers in carrying on their operations, my Government again entered into an agreement with the Depart- ment of Labour of Canada where- by seasonal farm labourers were brought into the Province to as- sist in the harvesting A of our crops. Last fall, under this agree-

_ “My ‘Government, recogniz- ing the importance of increasing the milk production of our dairy herds by the use of better animals has inaugurated at Dairy Herd Improvement Policy to work in conjunction with the artificial insemination units to evaluate the sires now being used.

“Every effort is being made to have our farmers make great- er use of the soil-testing facili- ties now available to them. In- formation regarding the soil- testing service has already been distributed to every farmer in Prince County, and Queens and Kings Counties will be advised of the services available at an early date. .

“In this Province trees are recognized by my Government as being a farm crop and, with this in mind, assistance is ren- dered in woodlot management. A ‘tree planting service’ has been provided and has been well re- ceived by many interested farm- ers. This service will be further promoted during the coming year.

“My Government has signed an agreement with the, Govern- ment of Canada regarding the prevention and control of forest fires. Under the terms of the «agreement the Government of Canada will pay one-half of the

. amount expended for this pur-

pose. Equipment already provid- ed has done good work in at least two localities.

PROJECT CLUBS

“Increased interest in 4-H Club work is noted with satis- faction. To further increase this interest, and to give these young people a wider training in farm- ing a policy covering Project Clubs will be inaugurated.

“Recognizing the importance of cross-bred poultry to our farmers my Government, in co- operation with the Department of Agriculture of Canada and the‘ Record of Performance Poultry Breeders, has estab- lished a random sample testing program to evaluate the differ- ent cross-breeds now’ available to our farmers.

“Increased production of small fruits and vegetables is being promoted by my Govern- ment. The testing of new variet- ies of vegetables and promotion of a virus-free strawberry pro- gram will be expanded during

the coming season. The increas— ,

ed entry list and the improve- ment in quality would indicate that the Harvest Exhibition has a place in agricultural promo- tion and should be continued. “The matter of providing processing facilities for the products of our farms has continued to receive every con- sideration. Eleven plants have

been assisted and these provide

facilities for poultry packing, canning, strawberry packing, cold storage, vegetable packing and freezing, and the manufac- ture of dairy products. Loans that will assist in providing modern processing facilities for our farmers and, at the same time, provide employment for our young people, will continue to receive the careful attention of my Government.

Enter Pleas Of Not Guilty

Pleas of not guilty were entered at an earlier session of Queens County Magistrate’s Court by Frank Louis O’Brien and Clyde Donald Bell, each of whom ap- peared Monday in the same Court on charges arising in con- nection with the disappearance of a quantity of butter from River- side Hospital. Both cases were further remanded to March 17.

O’Brien is charged with theft of three 50-lb. cases of‘ butter valued at $96, while Bell is charged with possession of 10 pounds of butter.

“A committee established last year for the purpose of studying the Federal Hospital Insurance proposals has given extensive consideration to this matter and has submitted a report of its findings. This question should receive careful study in View of the financial obligations which the Province would be required to undertake under such a plan. Copies will be tabled for your information. A detailed survey of the over-all hospital facilities of the Province in relation to our needs under a Hospital In- surance Plan will be carried on in the near future.

“Good progress has been made on the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway so that there now remains to be com- pleted only three bridges and a few short connecting roads.
