The dispute has the teachers out on the picket lines and for a time both parties fighting through the press even xith paid ads. This latter is flot somnething that happens too often especially in the educationial systemn. There certainly is a determination on the part of both parties as to their final objectives in the wage-class size battle. The board is holding out with little intention of sen- ding the dispute to arbitration, or so it appears. IVhey state they have to protect their taxpayers and their 6.1 percent in- crease is well in line. In fact the elementary teachers in the system settled for the 6.1 percent. But then the secondary teachers have found a reason they should not, something caîl- ed catch-up. It has been stated that the difference fromn the board's offer.to that of the teachers' demand is some $300.00 when al points are considered. This is always a mute point when con- sidering hard salaries and the fringe benefits. Providing the differenceis $300.00 it is a high price to pay for those kids who have already been denied over three weeks of their education and the example that bas been set over the squabble. Certainly the teachers have lost more than they wîll gain now even with their objective of 8 percent._ Where is the responsibility to the system? It certainly seemns a great waste of time and effort on the part of aIl parties in negotiations that go on for months and mnonths with very lttle progress. If this timne was spent on upgrading the educational system îthrough co-operation and desire much more would be achîeved for the future generations. Mediator has been appointed The Education Relations Com- mission bas appointed Professor Gene Swimmer of Ottawa to act as Mediator in the negotiations bet- ween the Elementary Teachers and the Trustees of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education. Dr. Swimmer received his Ph.D. from the School of Industrial and Labour Relations at Cornell, New York (1972), and a Master's Degree in Economnics fromn the University of Chicago (1968).
