In mrany instances, wibh them will go the shatered hopes of parents and telatives, for whether these young rpe ealize it or flot, they will be .=nig the riak of neyer getting the . bance ta become a successful part ef atnadian indusbny and business. ZThis situation is net con! mcd to ny strata of society, nor are its effects âao1ted by city limits or provincial I oundanies.' If the present rate of drap- u1te from Canadian schools continues, lth lts adverse effects on the ecanamy, can't help but affect every individual, 51dustry, and business establishment, in ect, every organization in this and Suture generations. LbItbas been said that education, in tbroadest stase, is the faundation of là nation. Can we afford ta stand by tnd watch large numbers of aur youth leave the sehool sysbem unprepared for lhe modern demands of indusbry and *itlzenship?

The Magnitude of the problém is brought into sharp focus by a récent #tuldy darried out by the Pepartment of Uibour an figurés produced by the D)ominion Bureau of Statistici. 0f thé â96,O00 youngeters who enrolled in Igrade two ia 1957-58, 131,000 will léave schooi before reaching high school, Oome with a grade eight educablon, ethers with less..# Between' first year Ibilh school and junior matriculation, 2--q 000 mont will drap 'out and 95,000 i-dd-itional studénts will leave between Junior matrîculation and first year uni- veraity. Only 31,000, less than 10 par cent, wili go on ta univensiby. What awaits the persan who draps put ot school without enough education ggaatee bis or ber future inaa ly ndutraliedcountry? An ex- amination ef occupations in Canada provîdes a pnétty dlean indication. About 70 per cent o! thé jobs avaliabie in this country today are o! a prof éssionai, semi-professional, technical or skilied nature, and anly 30 per cent of empioy- ment coasists of semi-skllled or unskili- .id occupations. It in in this last caté- gory of employrnent that mont of those with less than a junior matriculation wil find themselves competlng, and if présent trends continue, the probieni wlll become worse as the proportion af uaskilled and uemi-skilltd jobs in the economny decreases in thé future. What in required ià basic change in our thinking and in social attitudes for, in the final analysis, the deplorablé drop-out rate must reflect the tact that we aduits are not yet convinced of the deslrability or necessity of advanced éducation. Here is the crux o! the problemn. As parents we must realize the impact o! advanced technoiogy and automation an Canadian business and iadustry in recent years. What was adequate yesterday in tht way of education is becomlng iess and iess adéquate today. lb is natunal that soe parents would judge present* circumstances in the light of their own éxperiénces and assess education today in the light ot the education théy received years ago, when grade eight was a reiatively valuable asset ln abtaining a job or lcarning a skill or trade. Today, ta leara that same trade or skill, mdst youths will need a junior matriculation or better. This is net because thé standards o! thé educationai system have dropped, but it is because more basic eduiéation is required ta under- stand the théories and iaws invoived in the production and maintenance of ail tht machines and products which we inarvel at and énjoy ln this complex age. Just as aur country bas advanced in the past few decades, so out need for more education has increaséd. A full realization of this fact by ail aduits and cilîdren would surely briag about a much-needed change in social atti- tudes. Tht solution ta thé drop-oub prob- lem resta with évery Canadian. The answers must came from industry, educators, govemaments, unions, and ail organizatians, as wali as from tht par- ents and the children themselves. The farm of the aaswers will differ, but bhey must recagaize ane fact - that education can ne longer be classed as a luxury, but rather as a necessiby - a aecessity for a people who must be flexible ta face an ever-changiag eccu- pational pattern. -:SUGAR and SPICE:-4 7 . t Dtsp.nsd by BiD Smiley 4 I I w~as oin .wrt om-Iyalty fonced her ta climb iar, as we used to cail the- ne- ..
