CONSTABLE BONNERTRANSFERRED

It was learned this week thatConstable Harry Banner of the

j Ganges detachment of the R.C.M.P. will be transferred to the Vic-toria Sub-division Headquarters atthe end of November. ConstableBonner, who has served Salt SpringIsland for three years, is being re-placed by Constable K.R.Acquilonof the Fernie detachment.

Constable Bonner/ thought bymost of the residents to be the bestpoliceman Salt Spring has everhad, was well known for his work

iwith the youth of the island. Heinstigated many programs thatwere undoubtedly beneficial inpreventing crime. He was knownfor his fairness and nearly every-one, whether they ran afoul ofthe law or not, considered Harryas their friend. : :

"Dear Sir: In your article on teachers' salaries,you si'ate that "14 teachers are receiving a salaryof $5200 or more per year"o 1 submit that thismethod of rsferGp.cc creates a completeiy false im-pression in the mind of the reader. In view of thefact that teachers' working periods total somethinglike 9 months out of the calendar year, due to the^•oquent and extensive holidays, it would seem to bemore psrtinGnt to refer to their rempneration interms of monthly earnings. On this basis, that $5200per year becomes $577 per month. Those receiving$6350 or more actually are drawing down $705.50per month. These are far from the starvation wagesthat most teachers would have us believe they aretrying to exist on, it is claimed that industry payshigher salaries. Possibly in a few cases in anyorganization, it does; but it would be very unusualfor the average throughout any organization to

reach the figure of $600 monthly.In any case the figures foi- industryand the profession;; are based on a12 month and not a nine month year.The average professional manwould be very happy to be assuredof a steady salary of $600 or $700per mensem. He would be morethan delighted ro be able to have

!i-wo or three months vacaiion an-Inually, even withou;' pay, if hejcould be assured that his employ-ment would not be in jeopardy.The suggestion that the principalshould receive "supervision" pcyis utterly fantastic, This is tanta-mount to engaging a store managar,then paying him to supervise thestole staff. Sureiy fhci fundamentalduty of any principai is to directand supervise, else he is merelylanother teacher. in my own pro-fessional career as a civil and

structural engineer, I have heSd control over somevery 'large staffs. To have suggested that ', shouldhave been granted special pay for supervisingthese Staffs, undoi-btodly would have raised seriousdoubts as to my mental srabiliryl i personcllywonder whether people holding such greed) ideasarc the best we can put in charge of the mentaltraining of our youngsters. Thc-rc seems alreadytoo much of "the world owes me an easy living"philosophy and the student is very apt to ape histeacher; especially in such seductive ideas asthese. One argument has been raised that teachers'salaries paid here are not in I'ne with those paid inmany other places. That may bs true. It- is alsotrue that neither is the cost of living as high hereas it is in many other places. Those teachers whoare not satisfied and therefore by implication arenot likely to give their best to their jobs, should beinvited to bstake themselves to the greener pastures,even if this means dispensing with the entire staffand closing the school until sanity returns to the j^.world. As I have pointed out on a previous ec"casion, we could lift the educational tax .'-'urden byusing correspondence instruction, A major advantageof this method would be that those who really want-ed to acquire an education would get it, and thosewho were not interested would be weeded out auto-matically. No 14 year old could possibly reach ahigh grade without even knowing how lo read!Arbitration on salaries is not the (CON^D P.5)
