. are following petition from the Fire Department was presented .i the regularpmeeting of the City Council last I183"? --we the Executive of the Char- giieiown Fire Department do upreby recommend that the tender or ill? LsFrsnce Fire Engine Co-. to supply a 12 cylinder. Mo g.p.m. pulflpef. for the City of Charlotte- lpiln. be accepted as per their proposal mmmittee of City of Charlottetown. some of the reasons for this rec- gnmendation are as follows: "The cab ahead of engine de- Ilgn provides greater driver visi- mmy, r ”'y rounding corn- ers. its shorter wheelbase allows it in have a SIIOQCI turning radi- gt and makes it more easily man- or-uverahle in narrow streets and treaty traffic. ”The 12 cylinder machine is pre- fgrred because it allows for a smoother operation and longer life with less vibration while doing suvlained drafting or straight pumping from hydrants. v "It has a 250 gallon water tank. winch although not requested in specifications. would definitely be an asset. The water tank has a completely removable top. whicii mil facilitate cleaning, painting and repairing. "Il has a 40 Imperial gallon gas tank. "The LaFrance Co. provide a I year guarantee on all pans. "This is definitely a custom built machine. which is the type which we p efer. This is concurred in by Mr. hakespea e of the Do- nilhlofi Board of Fire Underwrit- rrs and the Chiefs of other leading Maritime Fire Departments from uhom we have correspondence supporting this. ”Eleven gauge steel is used on all construction. "The pump is mounted on top of the chassis. and is bolted thereto. It is readily accessable for ser- vicing or repairing. "It has seven large compart- ments to be used for the storage ef equipment. SERVICE - our past history of service by the Laifrance Co.. has always been the best. ser- vicemen and parts have been readily available at a moments notice at most reasonable cost. our feelings on this important item we also concurred in by other fire departments in the Marillmes. from whom we have correspondence on file. CONFIDENCE We as Of- ficers of the Fire Department have the utmost confidence in LaFrance equipment because of its 100 per cent satisfaction over the past 30 years. and we do not Ziesltate to place our volunteer firemen in tough us when using it. as we feel It will not fall. We would lack this confidence In other makes of equipment with which we are not familiar. especially a machine made by a companyihat has never sold an M0 g.p.m. pump Fire Underwriters records shows that Tibeault have never sold an M0 g.p.m. pump in the Maritlmea.

Dlrtment of any city in the most vital and lmvortant of any Civic Department. as on the success or failure of its operations depends the entire future of the cornmun. ity-whether it survives the ele- ment of fire or whether it perishes. TWELVE CYLINDER - Tim mic of,machine is generally con. -sldered superior for heavy duty pumping and long life. It is rec. ommended for use in high value districts where fires can be in. volved in large buildings contain. ing-heavy stocks. Six cylinder jobs are satisfactory for small towns or the outskirts of larger cities. where the above mentioned type of fire would not be encountered. Our feelings on this type of ma- chine are also concurred in by other leading Maritime fire fight- ers. such as Chief McGi1livary of Halifax. Chief McKnight of Saint John. Chief Doherty of Frederic- n and also by Dominion Board -,Flre Underwriters such as Saun- ders of Charlottetown and Shakes- peare oi Halifax. N.s. PRICE COMPARISON We feel that purchasing a LaFrancc machine even at a higher price than Tibeault will be money saved in years to come. It is our opinion that the life of the La- France machine will be close to 30 years. We have been informed that there are Tibeault manufac- tured pumpers. only a few years old. that are rated as suitable for training and auxiliary purposes only. We have also been advised by the Director of Naval Fire Fighting services for Canada that Tibeault pumpers. as far as their experience is concerned. require only a small we comply with the smcificatlona as asked for.

Director In the programs of teach- of these ex- periincnts has met with some suc- cess but inevitably we have been reminded that. by tradition and practice. the teaching profession is undeniahl under outside au- thority and control. Unlike the cleric. the lawyer. cber must submit to regulations for entrance and qualification which are imposed by authorities outside the profession. Conditions of salary. of tenure and retire- ment are dictated by elected or appointed public bodies and even such strictly Pfofclllonll "IF" ters as the competence of married women or the qualifications and duties of principals are decided by laymen. This participation of the public in our affairs has brought many benefits. for it has expanded educational services ".1 greatly increased the inter- est in education. Nevertheless. it has also created problems which we have been somewhat slow to recognize. DEFINITION p . . one example of this is the dif- ficulty in finding a clear and ac-; ceptable definition of the Word "teacher." gAIthough our under- standing of the teacher's moonin- billties and techniques has great- ly improved In l'eCEl'll YEIYS. 0lIl' description of teaching has be- come increasingly loose and Care- less. On the one hand we have developed more discernment in defining the attributes of a teach- er. while on the other we have not hesitated to stretch the dual- Those of us with experience know very well that the skills of the teacher are difficult to assess or describe. We know that teach- ing may be approached in many ways. according to differences in subject matter. the individual. the social and economi background. the number of students. as well as the still possible for those of us within the profession to es- tablisii a common core or denom- inator which represent the basic professional ch-araoterbtics of those who teach. LACK SCHOLARSHIP This is an urgent need. We are assailed on all sides by shallow and carping criticism. Some of our critics say that we lack scholar- ship and that the tasks we per- form are petty and trivial; we are accused of having lost our Imel- lectual curiosity and of being more childish than adult. Others complain that ours is clearer and more favorable im- Pfesalon of the practitioner in the public mind. To INTERPRET we should make an effort, not on.
