In 1927 Canada produced only about fifty per cent more than U.S. but the increase is so rapid it is difficult to keep pace with it in statistics. ' The Prjnce Rupert Teachers' Association, with J. S. Wilson in the chair held its monthly meet ing last evening in the Booth Memorial School when J. C. Brady, M. P. gave an address on the "Importance of the Teacher in our National Development." After prefacing his remarks with congratulations to the ex- executive on its successful record of the past year, Mr. Brady went on to stress the value of the Fed eration. In his travels through-) out Canada he was struck with this thought. The professors of the universities and the teachers in the lonely log school house were one in their activities and interests and as long as they were members of the teaching body none of' them felt that he had a lone part. The teacher had in the past been too prone to b timid and, while deprecating any attempt to cheaply advertise the profession, the speaker asked why the teacher should not insist on credit for the work he did, Every was a participant in the community and ulti mately in the building of the nation. Mr. Brady mentioned the names of Lord Birkenhead, Sir John Simon, Francis Hearst of the London School of Economics and C. B. Fry, England's famous cricketer and teacher, as men who admitted they owed the early de sire to study to the sympathetic interests and encouragement of an understanding teacher. The study of education from the early days was a record of what had been done in all -ages and in all countries for the young here for men and women to make good or for the invest- and familiarity with this history ment of money.

With grain prices tumbling and no way of stopping the slump, the prairie farmer will feel a cood deal of acquired. This circle sh6ud not be overlooked by the teacher. The social environment also had great influence, on the boy's development and should also be taken note of by the teacher. The case of Frank Hodges, the English miners' famous leader, was used to illustrate the in- Rvmmthv With rho 11 I? tVllir ovnware i'hn -finrle tViof Vio - . ... -v - j ...... ..u.v uivio hiiu xinvio niia nuence a teacacr mignt have on has little profit left after paying freight and the ex- a boy.

For b second reason; British Columbia has a law-rhade marketing agency which controls fruit prices.

J Canada one realized the import- ance of the teachers and schools to the nation. Education should aim at enabling the youth to earn a livelihood, to know and do his duty to his, fellowman, to defend principles, of government and, greatest of all, to build character. Fit Needs of Country Modern education should also fit in with the needs of theooun-try..and of the city. Any lack of t opportunity for the children was a menace and deserved a public reprimand. Industrial life demanded that the pupils have every opportunity to learn the principals and rules of practical living such as were provided in the Home Economics and Manual Training classes. Mr. Brady closed his address with an appeal for the cultivation of a love of good literature in the minds of the children. England had a most glorious heritage from its very many illustrious authors. As Ruskin said, "The courts are open wide and multi tudinous as the days" and we should glory in the opportunity I to be "comrades of the jrounr' over chosen paths. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the speaker for his inspiring talk. Refreshments were then served and Mr. and Mrs. Brady renewed acquaintanceships with old Colleagues and met new members of the staff. u , Those present included ,Mis Martin, Miss McGuire, Miss Leitch, Miss Mercer, Miss Mills, Miss Mitchell, Miss Pierce, Miss Rivett, Miss Rothwell, Mis Welters, Mrs. Walker, Mr. Ilalleran, Mr. O'Neill, and Mr. Stocks.
