nu native children. As this school had been existence for only six or seven years, it lacked the organ- ization our Canadian schools have built up over a period of years. The pupils read more comprehensively than ourswperhaps due to the fact that much children's reading inat- erlal was found in all the homes, but they were deficient in Arllh- metic, One would find them strug- gling with Algebra and Geometry, when they were not sure of their multiplication tables. Eleven ycar old children were attempting to read Shakespeare. I was asked to do what I could do to improve the status and make it a real school, not e play-house. All I had to do was to focus their efforts on the fundamentals. so that they would have the groundwork done before attempting anything more diffic- uli.

"I am reasonably confident that now those pupils would be able to enter tligvir proper age group in English. WeETIridian. or Canadian schools, l had the interesting ox- perience of visiting several West Indian schools. The children in these schools are mostly colored. The work done was surprisingly good. Accommodation was inad- equate; six or seven teachers car- rying on in only lwo rooms, maybe t-wo full trained teachers and the others s udcnt teachers. The classes were generally much overcrowded. These children seemed .well up to standard in Arithmetic. but rather poor in reading. This was prob- ably due to the fact that there was very little reading material in the homes, and also that patois Eng- lish was spoken therc. All second- ary schools in Trinidad I found quite comparable tq our own. It is very regrettable that there are no universities in the West Indies.

"My first holiday. I spent in British Guiana, or Demerara. which neme probably suggests it's chief export which is quite well known on P.E.l. My second, in the United Kingdom. for the most part in London. I was very pleased to get back to London and see the old historic places I had visited some ten years ago. However, one of the highlights of my sojourn in the Bouthiand was my irlp to Vene- zuela. There I spent one week. sv- ing each day to a, different schoBl in the Standard Oil area. They are all American children in these schools. There I found material perfection, as might be expected in

the schools of that plutocrnilc Company. "The schools looked like little

had more than fifteen pupils. the average was eleven. Excellent work was dune. All tile teachers were adept in the pedagogical art, "The lowest salary paid was three hundred dollars a month for l2 months. one hundred and twen- ty-five of which was deposited in her home bank each montll. Tile teachers sot annual holidays with nil travelling expenses. They WUFE‘ strongly reuuninlcndcd lo tuke short courses during their holi- days. There was a piano in every school. also all sorts of equipment for Arts and Crafts. The teachers conducted sports and gamcs twice n year‘ on spacious playgrounds. one and one-half acres excellently tquipped, Much freedom of ex- pression was allowed the children. both in the class room and in or- ganizing their public concerts and sports.

Decided Contrast

"l found a decided contrast be- tween the home training of the typical English child, and the typ- ical American child. For example. when l arrived at Leascholds School, the children did not speak to me until I was formally intro- duced by the head mistress — af- ter that they greeted me with "Good lilorning. Miss Harrington", or "Good Evening Miss Harring- ton“, but having spoilt one alter- noon in the Standard Oil school. and saying I would be back the next day. i met two children on the street that evening. and they greeted me with "Hi! Miss Her- rlnglorl, What's cooking for tomor- row?"

"I feel that these teachers de- served the high salaries they were getting. During the nine months of school work. they had very little opportunity for social relaxation. being seventy-five miles from the nearest town. each of the plants was small, n0 games except tennis, no moving pictures end no bath- ing facilitles. Their only compen- sation was that they were well paid and had luxurious places in which to work and live. Leaseholds plant. where I lived. was the very opposite. All sorts of games and amusements were available, includ-

in! swimming. yachting. rugby. cricket. squash. ground hockey. the cinema, bridge, tennis and golf.

"The educational authorities in the South were deeply interested in hearing what i had to say about our educational system. ‘f invar- iably received special invitations l0 attend their hieclings and express mv views. 'l‘hcy were keenly aware of ihc advantages of exchanging lileas. Personally, f think li is an ideal way of discovering the best points in any system, and of evolv- ing worthwhile improvements.

Sport Echoes from Prince County

Tile Sumnlcrsidc HOCRUy League officals have every reason to feel happy about the first gume 0f tile season. it was played on Saturday night. a new night for hockey in Summerside, purely as an experi- ment. and the bumper crowd that attended proved that the experi- ment was a pronounced success. Then too. the two teams compet- ing were very evenly matched. which. of course. makes for an ex- citing league, which in its turn should rcsillt in large crowds throughout the season. ‘Flier-c is just one question to be settled now. and that is. will the R..C.A.F. entry- be toe strong or foo weak for the other iwo teams? Their being too strong wouldn't be so bad. as fans like to scc good teams in action even if they do mop up the ice with the opposition. But if they are too weak, that will acer- talnly be a blow to the prospect- ive success or the League. Tues- day nighi, (tonight if this column gets into print on schedule) will provide the answer to this ques- tion. The Lcglonalres, victors over the Dodgers Saturday night. will take on the airmen, and then we shall see what we shall see.

Players from the juvenile ranks more or less stole the show on the old timers Saturday night Their lines showed by far the most co- ordination in attacking, and con- sidering that they spoiled most of the intermediates quite a lot oi poundage. they were surprisingly effective. lt goes to prove that the kids have been given a lot of care- ful coaching during the last t-wo or three years. and when they reach the necessary age for full strength, and get their growth. we're going to see some hockey players of senior calibre in this vicinity. Layshie schurman, a mid- get only last year. was good en- 011811 to catch the judges‘ nod for outstanding player on the team. Joey Sehurman, siiil younger, was perhaps the most improved play- cr over last year's performance on the lee.
