Dear Sir.

Re: Letter to the Editor, Febru-
ary 14/53 issue: From Quesnel
District Teachers Association.

Reference was made by the Ques-
nel District Teachers Association to
a log school in Williams Lake Dis-
trict and subsequently in the letter
they relieve the Quesnel Board of all
responsibility of this situation. Ob-
scure reasoning to say the least.

The letter goes on to say that they
would welcome an opportunity to
show further ‘deplorable conditions’
under which they have to work.
However, they do say that the School
Boards of these districts are raising
money to remedy the situation and
draw attention to the government to

consider this when dealing with the
budget.

In the interest of that forgotten
man, the pupil, ] must draw atten-
tion to the.government and the Ques+

the fact that log buildings are not
the only deplorable condition in our
schools. One of the most deplorable
situations in the education system
of this province is the inability of a
Board to dismiss a deplorable tea-
cher, and believe me there are just
as many of them as there are log
buildings,

How many School Boards have
built modern schools at great ex-
pense io see them become educa-
tional failures because they were
forced to staff them with inefficient
teachers The school law is to blame
for this situation and the teachers

I have never heard an adtilt or

child’ lay the blame for the short-

comings of his education on the buil-
ding. log or otherwise, but I cannot
say the same for teachers.

I feel that this situation is just as
important an issue for the govern-
ment to consider as the log school
because it affects the welfare of
