“I submit that we can afford the kind of educational system, or the kind of church community we né when we develop a sense of! Values which apprecia- tes their importance.

“When we do that we shall find that the answer to the needs of education in particular is not to be found in the provision of money alone. :

“However, if we are to develop and maintain the kind of educa- tional system we need in this Space “Age, we shall need more money and lots of it, but we shall also need new motivations for our youth and a different set of heroes from those rather sha- dowy enes set up by radio, tele- vision and the film industry. LEARN FROM RUSSIA?

“What can we learn from Rus- sia? It is clear that the astonish- ing scientific and technical achie- vements of once-backward Russia are the fruits of her educational system. An authorative survey,

i recently by the U.S. Of- fice of Education, points out that at the beginning of the |20th cen- tury only 21 per cent of the Rus- sian people were literate and to- day the proportion is more than

“At the same time Russian.uni- versities and technical institut- ions are graduating annually a higher proportion of students in relation to population than either the United States of Canada.

“What the Rus¢i seem to have done is to take over the tra- ditional continental European school system, with its emphas’s on discipline,: hard work and thorough mastery. of subject mat- ter, give it a special orientation toward science, and make it available to the whole population instead of the restricted classes for which it was originally de- signed.

conceived by the Soviet Union was outlined with great clarity by A GREAT CHALLENGE

“What Russia has done educa- tionally in the short space of 40 years is, indeed, a challenge to the western democracies. It is true that the British North Ameri- ca Act has made provincial gov- ernments whdlly responsible for legislation affecting education but the government of Canada cannot close its eyes to the com- plications and difficulties of the

S . ’

“If we are to h national goals or aims involvifig’ education, then we must have some means of equalizing the cost of educa- tion as between provinces.

“I do wish at this time to in- troduce a discussion on federal aid for education, except to say that nationally as well as pro- vincially we have a great deal to learn from the Russian experi- ment on how goals are set and then achieved.

“Admittedly, our aims and pur-

.| poses may be different ‘in a demo-

cracy, but we must be prepared to consider the basic difficulties and weaknesses in our system and then to remedy them. HASN’T KEPT PACE

“I submit that our educational effort has not been raised to the level of the age we live in. We have learned that we are quite rich enough to defend ourselves, whatever the cost. We must ‘now learn that we are quite rich enough to educate ourselves as we need to be educated.

“We know how to find the dol- lars that are needed to defend ourselves, even if we are to do without something else that is less vitally important. In educa- tion we have not yet acquired

.| that kind of will.

“But we need to acquire it and we have no time to lose. We must acquire it im this decade. For if, in the crucial years that are coming, our people remain as unprepared as they are for their responsibilities and their miés- sion, they may not be equal to the challenge and if they do not succeed, they may never have a second chance in order to

Drunk Driving Charges Bring Jail Terms

| Fines of $10 and costs or five | days were imposed on a resident | of Bellevue for failure to ston at

A Mount Albion resident charg- ed with being drunk and incap- able drew a fine of $30 and costs or 20 days in jail. A city man facing a similar charge drew a fine of $10 and costs or five days and another person charged -with similar offence was remanded until this morning.

buildings where the physical con- ditions are grossly unsuitable for a proper teaching and iecarning situation.

“For instance, one district in this province has 135 pupils and provides them with only two teachers and two medium-sized ill -equipped classrooms.

“I am happy to note that our government has included in its budget for 1959-60 an item to pro-

vide for the payment of equaliza- tion grants to rural schools. While the amount is small, there is at least recognition of the need to help districts with inadequate sources of revenue to achieve a certain standard or level in pro- viding educational services.

QUALIFICATIONS

“It is noteworthy, too that worthwhile efforts have been made in recent years to improve the qualifications and salaries cf teachers. The fact that no one mow can enter the teacher train- ing year with less than junior matriculation standing should im- prove the prestige of the teacher in this province.

“We still lack a sufficient num- ber of qualified teachers and ef- forts must be continued to study and rectify the problems in con- nection with the recruitment, training and retention-in-service of teachers.

“In the matter of our curricu- lar offerings we have likewise made some progress. Until 1932 students attended Prince of Wales College or Saint Dunstan's to com-

plete their high school education.

“From 1932 until 1953 we had a dual system of high school education in this province - one group of schools basing their 1n- struction on the Nova Scotia curriculum for Grade XI; the other two (Prince of Wales Col- lege and St. Dunstan's) on their own courses, consisting of two grades of work beyond Grade X except for a select number of stu- dents who might be permitted to complete matriculation in one year.

ELEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS .

“Now we have 11 public high schools and one private or inde- pendent high school with instruc- tion based upon a_ uniform course. The students in these in- stitutions, as you know, write the examinations of the Atlantic Pro- vinces' Examining Board to ob- tain recognized standing.

“Prince of Wales College and Saint Dunstan’s continue to ex- amine their own students but, for the most part, use the text- books prescribed for Grades XI and XII in the outlying high schools. ’

“Under the present system of school organization most of these high schools are too small to of- fer courses other than the aca- demic, though a need for a more diversified type of high school education is apparent.

“Summerside and Montague high schools, to meet Yhis need | partly, have added courses in commercial subjects to their of- fering. Our Provincial Vocational School has also been providing in its day amd night classes training in a variety of trade and home - making courses.

“But, have these efforts fully met the educational needs of all our boys and girls? I suggest that they have not and I recom- mend that you study the larger unit of school administration as the most likely solution to the problem of providing a more di- versified type of education -to a
