SPEAKS
OF
EDUCATION.
Teachers'
Contribution
to
Work
of
,
Reconstruction
Discussed
Reconstruction
now"
was
the
keynote
of
a
comprehensive
address
by
Tom
Alsbury,
president
the
British
Columbia
Teachers'
Federation
at
Borden
Street
School
on
Saturday
afternoon.
The
speak
quoted
Prime
MUilater
W.
L.
Mackenzie
King
and
Vither
leade:
the
effect
that
such
measures
must
not
be
left
until
after
the
war.
The
teachers'
contribution
to
that
work
of
reconstruction
was
embodied
In
a
plan
which
would
provide
equality
of
educational
opportunity
for
every
chfld
in
the
province
whether
rural
or
urban.
Mr.
Alsbury
presented
an
eleven-point
program
to
which
the
B.
C.
Teachers'
Federation
was
committed
and
for
which
It
would
enlist
the
support
of
an
enlightened
public
opinion.
After
pointing
out
that
many
schools
were
now
without
teachers
and
a
number
of
others
entrusted
;
to
unqualified
persons,
the
speaker
went
on
to
say
that
education
must
compete
with
other
fields
in
retaining
the
services
of
men
and
women
who
were
qualified
by
training
and
experience.
It
must
provide
such
conditions
as
would
attract
the
right
type
or
canal-dates
to
the
profession.
Obviously
this
was
largely
a
matter
of
fin
ancing
education
and
the
Teachers'
Federation,
along
with
other
representative
bodies,
continued
to
urge
that
the
provincial
government
accept
the
responsibility
for
education
costs.
Questions
and
comments
&y
a
number
of
members
present
Indi
cated
that
this
local
body
was
eager
to
endorse
the
program
pre
sented
and
to
support
an
aggres
sive
policy
on
the
part
of
the
Federation.

Fishing

is
developing
out
of

and
about
half
a
dozen
of
the
local
boats
are
engaged
in
this
pursuit
during
the
halibut

season
this
winter.
The
boats,
running
about
five

each,
are
bringing
about

eight

ten
thousand
pounds
about
every
two
or
three
weeks
and
from
10c
to
12c
is
paid
for
the
livers.
The
fishing
technique
is
somewhat
similar
to
that
of
halibut,
using
gear
and
bait.
The
mud
sharks
are,
of
course,
larger
on
the
average
than
halibut,
running
from
two

three
hundred
pounds,
the
livers,
extracted
on

while
the
remainder
of
the

is
thrown
back
into
the
seas,
averaging
about
ten
percent
of
the
entire
weight
of
the

The

is
in

to
