We refer, of course to recent sojourn of G. EE. Mortimore, columnist: for both ‘The Daily News and The Victoria Col- onist. Actually Mr. Mortimore was up here as part of a province-wide study of Native Indians but he felt he should not leave the city without put- ting down some of his impressions on ‘paper. They differed quite sharply to those of a much more famous writer, Pierre Berton, managing editor of Maclean’s Magazine. Where as Mr. Berton saw Prince ‘Rupert as a city operating under a curse, our own visiting columnist saw us’as a young town, with plenty of growing time ahead of us and the fu- ture in our own hands and dependent on what the citizens of this‘eommun- fevgt ity have the courage and energy to make it.

These are the saféty Mot . "or electric razor and the modern furn- wate.

You may be lambasted or «praised, it is all in the day’s work, But sit has always heen our opinion that if Mr. Mortimore spent six days here before putting a line about the city on paper. Mr. Berton spent slightly over 12 hoprs in the city, arriving late in the afternoon and leaving early the next morning. True, the city got its “plug” in a national magazine and we were credited with having fierce op- timism, so we shouldn’t be too unhap- py. Also to be considered was the fact that the Maclean’s managing edi- tor had to cover the entire province in something like two weeks and_ still turn in a creditable piece of writing, which on the whole, he did. For our money we prefer the more homespun, less sophisticated summary of Victoria’s “Mort” to the city-slicker treatment of Toronto’s “Pierre.” Prince Rupert has had its setbacks, it’s been knocked down but always landed on its feet. We'll suffer our growing pains and we’ll take our chances, There’s little to fret about that won’t be cured in a 100 years. We'll make out.

Stein discuss “scruffy teachers” in present classrooms, undoubt- edly departed from the meet- ing with mixed feelings. - No doubt the good doctor was comparing teachers’ mon- etary compensation with that of. telephone linemen or the logger when he spoke of’ pres- tige and/or status. It is a well- known fact that white collar workers and teachers as well as college professors, receive a. lower pay scale than — we'll say the logger. As for pres- tige, we -won’t discuss that. There: is honor and pleasure in-any honest work. ‘Let’s clarify two facts, prep- aration and ‘salary, in regards to the British Columbia ele- mentary teachers’ profession —I repeat profession. © First teachers attend the College of Education for two years in structor and disciplinarlan as well as an academic teacher. Where else can a community get so much for so little. My neighbor received $2 per eight hour day for taking care of one five-year-old child. Let's multiply that by 30 chil- dren per day at $2 each which gives us a figure of $1,200 per four weeks. This involved no college preparation,. no home work, no teacher’s report, no report cards, no accumulative record cards, no tests and evaluations, no examinations, no PTA meetings, no carnivals, no conferences and no any number of commitments that faces one in the teaching pro- fession. Last but.not least, if the Department of Education feels that two years of college train- ing is insufficient preparation for teaching there are two al- ternatives. First, those two years of specialized training. One as capable of learning a great deal in. two intensify. years. That was proved dur- ing the Second World War in specialized ‘training. programs. Secondly, increase college re- quirements from two to two and a half, three or four years with increasing salary. Either of the two above alternatives ‘will filter the interested, real teachers.- from students. or teachers who are looking for- ward to'an easy job, which it isn’t. _ And this I know, unless one enjoys his field of work he will never have the satisfae- tion of a' job well done and everyone ‘immediately associ- ated with. him will suffer, be it office! workers, family, friends, teachers or students. Judging: from the elemen- _tary and high school students “we know, I would say that parents, teachers and com- munity mendable ‘and rewarding bit ‘of “molding.” Elsie L. Kahley, . . Prince Rupert preparation for teaching. Sec- - _ ondly, beginning salary, with- out teaching experience, is $3,- 100 annually. When the demand for teach- ers is great in areas in the United States, teachers are permitted to teach on an em- ergency certificate having. completed two years of edu-. cation (college). However, they must attend night. class- es or summer sessions in order to qualify for a position the following year. But, along with the earned credentials in edu- ed accordingly. The B.C. Col-; lege of Education decided to put education majors into the university in order to produce better teachers—but not one word was mentioned in re- gards to increased salary. Believe me, we are fortunate | to have fine teachers in the “lowly profession.” Who else but a teacher or missionary would stay in a field of work as demanding with its present wage scale.
