edutation, said yesterday in ad- dressing the annual meeting of the -P.E.I. Teachers’ Federation which opened in Charlottetown.

The education minister told het group that it was with some surprise that he learned upon compilation of figures that the provincial government had spent 4% million in this direc- tiofi=since 1953.

Big factors in the increase in expenditures were the raising pf grants from $1,000 for the first. room to a present total of $5,000 and increasing the grants fer “each additional room from $500 to $2,500. He also noted the cost of operating Prince of Wales College has increased $91,000 since 1953.

STUDENT GRANT

He pointed out that grants to students taking teachers’ training had advanced $200 to $500 and last year an additional $500 was made available to rural grade 12’ students intending to enroll in teachers’ training classes.

The minister said he hoped the grant would be available mext year to grade 11 students ef high academic standing who igtend to take up teaching. :The group was informed the

He also felt the 100-day ae- cumulative sick leave plan which Island teachers received last year was the most generous plan in Canada.

He said the only place where there was a reduction in expen ditures was in the department of education itself. He noted a $1,000 reduction in administra- tion costs.

EQUALIZATION GRANTS

The $35,000 the government voted for equalization grants, the minister believed would be a notable benefit inasmuch as it would enable poorer districts to provide higher salaries and better teachers for their schools.

Quoting figures to substantiate his remarks, Mr. Clark said it is the poorer distric® that have to pay the higher tax rate.

He looked forward with eager- ness to the recommendatins of the LaZerte report next fall. He felt the province was most for- tunate in being able to secure the services of one so renowned

COST OF EDUCATION

Mr. Clark said that since 1954 the cost of education on P.E.I, has increased from $2,126,900 to $3,545,000 or an increase of 66 2-3 percent—half of which went to increases in teachers salaries.
