The Voyageur Equal Educational Opportunity No Canadian child should be denied educational opportunity because he lives in one province rather than another. The Federal Government has the major taxing power and should employ this power to secure equalization of opportunity over the whole country. Federal grants-in-aid. as are used in the re-establishment of veterans and also in technical education, could be employed. Scholarships and bursaries, dominion, provincial and private, should be extended. Adult Education Education is a continuous process and should not stop at the end of school life. It should be continued into adult life. ' Increase in the Number and Quality of Teachers There is a great need for an increase in the number and quality of teachers together with an improvement in their economic status. The report of the Canada and Newfoundland Education Association recommends a median salary of 31,321 We pay any amount to win a war. This programme and other necessary improvements means doubling our present Canadian expenditures on edu- cation. Can we do it? We cannot refuse to do it and survive as a democratic community in the world of tomorrow. F ltr BOAT BUILDERS We had one of the best years ever in the Craft shop.

The Voyageur mazamp meswz. E WOULD like to congratulate Mrs. Buckley on her remarkably precise timing of her appendicitis. She managed to have her operation the day after school left for the Easter vacation, and was back on the job when we returned, and with her loyal followers of Chiangkaishek, saw that we obtained our proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins in the form of a tasty dish. We have with us this year two youngsters who are about to reach the ripe age of four. They are Roger Miller, and ,lock Coulson, sons of Old Boys in the forces. Their fathers have achieved distinction as aces in aquatics. The boys are being trained for life by the ever smiling Mrs. Hagan. The fact that Mr. Renzius' remarkable community spirit has been ap- preciated by the town of Newmarket is shown in his being elected to the Public School Board, and also in his being vice-president of the Horticul- tural Society. Rudy, as usual, is planning to spend the summer by rejuven- ating our battered building, with the help of his efhcient staff. Another member of uthe beloved communityw, who is bracing himself for pleasantly relaxing holidays is the Headmaster, who will spend the best part of the summer in his office, preparing the school for the Fall Term. Messrs. Rourke, Blackstock, and Jackman, who obviously canot escape their vocation, are going to spend the holidays at Camp Mazinaw. Fred Marx and Tom Schofield will also be on the staff of that uperfect camper's paradise in the midst of scenic Canadian woodsf, ffrom the prospectusl. Some members of our community, unlike Thomas Ward, are not afraid that uthey will become mad out of too much learningf' Mr. Beer is taking post-graduate work in French, at the Summer School of McGill Universityg Mr. Mosey is attending a similar course at Columbia, and Tom Myers was at National Life Camps, participating in a Camping Education Institute. He is now Assistant Director at Bolton Camp. The best of luck to Bob Campbell, who is leaving the employment of the school in order to serve the King. His good nature and willingness to help others will be hard to forget. W'e must also say good-bye to T. E. Reynolds, who is leaving us to con- tinue his studies. Good luck, Ted? By the way, Ted and Mr. Ross are spending the summer in the vicinity of New Orleans, checking on banana transports. Many thanks are due to Miss Ancient for her devoted care for our younger brood, and also for tirelessly pouring thousands of cups of coffee and tea throughout the year. 19
