Total attendance was 230, Chief speaker for the con- ference was Miss Pearl Mowry of Port Arthur, president of the FWTAO, who told the dele- gates that they are obligated to provide a first-class job of classroom teaching. "The federation is mostcon- cerned about the quality of ser- vice we give. Proof of this lies in the fact that the federation spends more money, staff time and energy on the professional activities of our organization than any other phase," she said. The speaker stated that the federation is deeply and active- ly interested in teacher educa- tion and the need to continual- ly raise the standards of educa- tion required for entrance into the teaching profession. Miss Mowry told the teacher they not only have an obliga- tion to abide by the ideals of the federation as set out in the code of ethics, but they must also accept the goals of the federation as their own. The speaker described tea- chers as the backbone of the nation. "The whole basis of education rests with you, the individual teacher," she said. The morning session, held in the auditorium of the Listo- wel District Secondary School, was in charge of Miss Mary Graham of Dresden, executive director of the federation. A panel discussion on superannua- tion was chaired by Mrs. Alma Proud of Owen Sound.
