HIGHER
EDUCATION
Now
that those
who
are taking the
public examinations have
buckled
down
to
work,
most
of them with the anxieties
that
seem
part and parcel
of
this
an·
nual test, it
may
be
interesting
lo
go
back
lo
the origins of the system. These
will
be
found
in
a resolution that
was
placed before the !louse
o[
Assembly
on
l\lay
10, 1893. This went as follows:
"Whereas it
is
cxpctlient
to
provide
for
the promotion and
cncoura~emcnt
of
higher education
in
this eolony,
Rcsolved,-lhat the liovcrnor
in
schools, until. at least, primary educa·
tlon
shall have been afforded
to
ell
children
in
the colony;
Be
it rcsolved,-lhat the Receiver
Gener~l
shall
pay
oul
of
the funds
of
the
colony
the
sum
of
four thousand
dollars
for
aiding
in
the establishment
of schools
in
plnccs
in
which
there arc
none
at the present lime."
The amendment
was.
of course. de·
fcatcd and thus the

and the public examination
system were horn

of
Agriculture
that about

He
has not

persons he men-
tions
as

fro)TI

One
thinQ
that
is
known
is
that
tnc a\'eragc land-holding
of
profcs-
~ional
farmers has increased. The
crcatcr use
of
tractors and other
cq
Ulpmcnt
has allowed larger tracts·
to b! fanned with less labour. But
it may at least
be
said that any in-
dustry that gives a reasonably
good
standard
of
living
to
as many as
3,000
families
is
highly important.
Agriculture has been always
an
economic orphan but
it
has never-
theless been a substantial source
of
earning power and,
in
the past.
on
a subsistence level, it helped many
fishermen and others to achieve
an
independence they could not have
acquired hy other means.
Handicapped as
we
are
by
thin
and rocky soil, short
gt·owing sea-
sons and the necessity
o[
hand-feed-
ing livestock over· long periods.
agriculture has always had tough
obstacles
to
surmount. But it docs
seem that intensive application
of
all the aids that science and tech-
nology can now stlpply, coupled
with the prospect
of
acquiring large
new tracts
of
land from the recla-
mation of
bogs,
should make
pos-
sible a steady advance
in
the pro-
duction
of
more
of
our own
requirements
of
basic foodstuffs.
And
whcrca~
it
is
the opinion
of
this
House
thnt
it
is
not

also
highly improper. that higher cdu·

of

TeHchcrs
Association had
proper!~·
to
be
chiefly concemed
with
the sad inadequacies of the
):alan· seale.
Those days are
O\'et·.
In the year
before Confederation, only
42
teach-
ers out
of
2.200
were .receiving
salaries
in
excess
of
$2.000
a year
aod
the median salary at that time
was
$920.
Today the median salary for all
teachers
is
$2.350
and
for
all teach-
er;s
with Grade I (one year
of
pro-
fe~sional
training
in
the University)
or
over the median rate
is
in
excess
of
53.150.
That means that more
than
2.000
teachers are receiving
more than
~3,000
a year.
.The number
of
teachers with
Grade
I or better
\s
increasing each
year. In
1959-60,
for example, there
were more than
600
persons regis-
tered in the Faculty
of
Education at
Memorial. That number will rise
with the
opening
of
the buildings
on the new campus.
But the improvement
of
the sal-
ary scale and other conditions af-
fecting teachers does not mean that
the Association. has no problems.
Teachers are best constituted by
practical experience to be able to
suggest ways and means
of
improv-
ing
the curriculum and
~enerally
promoting the cause
of
education
in
the light
of
swiftly changing world
conditions.
It
may
be
hoped that
some
useful ideas about these things
will
be
considered at the present
convention.

It
is
a
good
and solid answer to
Mr. Khrushchev who has lately
