Women Teachers To Tackle Curriculum Planning How Ontario public schooi wo- men teachers can assist in curri- culum planning as suggested by Hon. Dana Porter, Minsiter of Ed- ucalion, was illustrated at a ses- sion on this subject conducled by Miss Gertrude Bergey. provincial convener of Research for the Fed- eration of Women Teachers' As- sociations of Ontario. Attended by members of the Federation Board of Directors. Miss Bergey's experi mcn t a "workshop" followed the pattern suggested at the recent confer- ence in Denver, Colarado, span- sored by the Association for Su- pervision and Curriculum Devel- opment. The conference xvas at- tended by Miss Bergey on behaîf of the F.W.T.A.O. She pointed out that the pragrams in curricul- um impravement held at the con- ference oùtlined diefinite steps for the institution of a phanned curriculum improvement scheme. "This pi-agi-arn", she said, "is one which the Ontario public scbool women teachers can fol- low as they develop and assist inî curriculum planning on local and provincial levels." Miss Bergey remarked thati since the Minister of Education had staîed that every teacher sbould regard curriculum plan- ning as part of ber professional duties, "women teachers want to be prepared 10 participale fully in this new approach to curricul- um. If the curriculum problems are ta be solved with the kind of understanding wbich results in improved practîces in the class- room", she said, "The solutions must involve the study and par- ticipation by aur wornen teachers Second Honor for Port Hope Man Jack L.

Pricing Ourselves Into Trouble (by Joscph Lister Rutledge) A very simple fact, onc that is flanc the less very hard for us to accept, is that soaner or later we must have lower prices all round. Now we anly want low prices for the things we have to buy. Looking at it from our individual points of view, we find that very reasonable. It isn't easy for us ta recagnize that the cheap eggs and butter and bacon and cheese that please us as cansumers aren't pleasing ta the producer. To him it seems obvious that these farm iprices must be siipported, at least until other prices, those of the commodities they use, corne down, m1d that of course doesn't please us. But there is stili another angle to the problern. Raughly one tItird of aIl the commodities we produce, whether basic farmi out- put, raw materials or fabricated goods, must be sold abroad and, in ail the world. there is only ane country that is as prasperous as we are ourselves. It would be wonderfiil if we could seli ail our surplus goods ta this one mar-ket at sustained high prices. But that country is facing the same prob- lem that we are facing- and it also bas more than it needs of many of the products we couid supply. So, if we are to keep producing at aur present rate, and so main- tain fairly constant employment. we rnust seli many of our pro- ducts to less fortunate sections, where the pricc ticket is of first importance, where indeed the abîlity to pay must establish the price, just as aur own ability or readiness ta pay establishes the price on the home market. Un- pleasant as such a realistic policy must appear at first glance it is inevitable if we are flot ta lose the mai-kets on which our pros- perity depends. The only alter- native is to buy goods ourselves for wbich we have no need or inclination or possible use, for that -is what gavernrnent support actually means. The suggestion that goverfi- iment can turn over this surplus to needy neighbaurs at nominal prices is dodging the issue. Such a palicy means that we are ac- cepting lower prices for our goads. For, if we make up part of the price we receive out of the added taxes we must pay eithier naw or eventually, we are onycanfusing aurselves intoaa belief that prices have been main- tained. Even the United States, vast as its resaurces are, bas discovered that it is a dangeraus and costly policy ta attempt, by governrnent- al interference. ta maintain prices at a level that keeps a substantial jvolume of possible customners off the market.
