In the teaching of drawing as dealt with bv Miss Alma Yeo, the assem- blv was privileged to listen to and witness a profitable instructive and at the same time economical de- monstration. In her opening re- marks. Miss Yeo referred to art work done by pupils of Fredericton inch School which was on display at the back of the auditorium, to- gether. with some samples of work done bv Island pupils.

From there the speaker went on to explain that the pupils are al- lowed to choose their own sublects and develop them as they thought fit. Small children used large me- diums. colored blackboard chalk on newsprint paper. The speaker nere demonstrated some _of the things that the young pupil would start out with. such as houses. men. autos. old. explaining the different points as she went on. At present Miss Yco said there are three easels in use in this work and as they trouble-sided this would enable numb; m work at the some time on this tvpe of activity. whilc others are occupied in other typesof work.

Recently temper powder paint had berm obtained with large es. nlld iust lately a supply cf alabas- line had been obtained cheap which would prove of good use in the pri- marv grades.

In closing. Miss Yeo stated that the child should be left alonc in doing this work. unless he

Discussions on the questionnaire submitted took up an hour and af- ter the different groups had re- turned to the Auditorium secre- taries gave their various findings. Findings dlscl the fact that manv valuable suggestions had been brought. out and that the discus- sions had proven well worth while w (he convention. 1 The uuestitonnaire was divided nto ten clues ions. lhe first question was: “What

should be done at a. convention?" Malority of reports s fact that more social activities

should be held during the conven- tion and some were of the Opinion that the convention should be held otter Easter and not before as now is the case.

Ln reporting on thc question: "What do the teachers expect of the Federation." two of the main points blouuht out was that group dis- (‘ll5.‘.l0ll at the end of classroom wolk should be partaken of. and it was also mentioned that the Federation should out a little more effort in the obtaining of higher salaries for the teachers.

Ln the question dealing with lan- er Admlrustratlve Units majority of the reports read were in favor of 1t. but the 0DlfllOll was also expressed that teachers in rural centres should be better educated regarding the

value of the llklucational Horizon was stressed practically 100 percent. by all groups in discussing this pal-r. 0i the questionnaire, advan- tnge accruing from it being partic- ularly noted

Ln answering the question: "Is teaching a profession on PILL?‘ several groups arrived at the cou- cluslon that it was not. but rather was just a stepping stone to some bcttcl‘ position.

Groups were heartily in accord with the plan of a graduated scale of wages, it being felt that it would stimulate inlerest greatly among the teachers if this plan were put into effect.

Both affirmative and negative an- swers were heard to the questions asking lf there was too much - toualltv between the salaries of tho male and female teachers.

'1'he final question on the paper pertained to the writing off of some subjects at the end of Gouda VIII or 1X. Many different opinions were expressed on this question but 1n the main it was felt that subjects such as Hygiene. Geography and Arithmetic should be written off at

the end of Grade IX.

On motion of Premier Cam bell the House went into comm ttee with Mr. McLean in the chair on an Act respecting remuneration of truck drivers.

The promoter explained that the Government had recently been waited upon by a delegation of truck operators who claimed that during the past year the rates paid by certain contractors for the hiring of truck services were un- fair and inadequate, and asked the Government to enact a DIW- islon fixing a minimum remuner- ation. An amendment was drawn up and submitted to the Govern- ment but in the short time avail- able it could not be determined whether the recommended scale was fair or too high. 1t is pro- posed therefore to empower the Governor-in-Council u. make reg- ulations fixing a. standard rate of

wages.

Mr. Baker said that last surn- mer ever contractor ’ to have a lfferent scale of wages.

The truck drivers in Prince County were very dissatisfied last July and went on strike. He referred to those employed by Curran and Briggs on the airport contract. They had appealed to him to re- quest the Government to refuse licenses to truck drivers from Nova Scctia as these men were be- ing brought in as a threat to make them acce t the wages offered them. Mr. aker cited other griev- ances which truck drivers had against their com any. ‘There is a prov slon by the Fed- eral Department of Labor govern- ing minimum rates on a two ton truck, but the company insisted 0n the drivers carrying six ton loads and this provision meant nothing, he explained. He understood that the Schur- man Building Co., had had to ay $8,000 back pay to men emp oy- ed as carpenters on airport con- struction work. Many of the car- genters received as much as $100 ack pay. In the case of truck drivers, they should have receiv- ed four times this amount. He be- lieved the Province was “out of at least $50,000" extra which the truck drivers would have had to spend had the truck drivers been treated fairly. Hon. Dr. MacMlllan said he be- lieved there was no doubt that the men were unfairly treated. He wondered if there was any way of helping those drivers to receive the money due them. Premier Campbell said the only]
