We must be- ware of the tecfinological and scientific concomîilants of tins new age and also the need for humnanis'ts and social scientists. The Canadian Conference on Education last year pointed out tht n ore money must be spent ini education. This will arouse many a P cry for education is too often condemned as now already toa costly. Yet in comparison to other expenditures it is noted thlat education does not top the iist. In 1957 Canadians spent $1,687 millilon on defense, $1,865 million on cars, $1,322 million on to- bacco and alcohol, Education costs in the Dominion totalled $1,020 million in the sanie period. From tthese figures it is seen that ed- ucation althougih high is Dlot above that spent for, some of the îuxuries of life. The Canadiani conference also supported that rural facilities for, eduication should bc the equivalent of those in urban centres. From the following figures the delegates feit there could be a de- cided strengthening of education in rural areas. The annual turn- over of teachers in Canada was greatest in ruari are-as whiere 47~ percenit chnged each year. This compared witi 23 percent in ur- ban soo. Further the convention learned tint of those Cana- dians over 5 years old not in school 50 percent in u-han areas had more thian grade 8 education w\hile in rural areas, only 25 percent lismore thian grade 8 ed ' cat ion., This also points up the condition that much more h-as ýto be down in the lern"entary f ield of education Loeally we look with prîde on our two schools, the public and higli, However an awareness of the importance of these two instiutions is ofteiinîner estimyated. This week lias been set aside as education week to further the interest in the education f ield anid to stimulate, awar-eness of the great part tint education -i now playing in the futiure of our country1 and its people. Education 1s everyones business and needs the support of everyone. Must Support Demerit Systemn Somne members of the Ontarlo legisiature have siown a distressixig inclination to criticize the "h'arshtiess" ol the driver temritpont >sttr. Smeof 1 tenm hv leayti e xcuse frtture offenders, arguing, for example, that a person who drives- a great deal willinevitably break more traffic laws than one Who doe2 net spend raucl ime at the wheel of a vesicle. It is this sort of attitude tiat lias seriously diminished the effectiveness of ourtraffic laws in the past. Juries have been not- oriously soft towards traffic offenders in criminal cases - appar- ently thinking, 'ýFhere but for the grace of God go 1" - and even sorne magistrates have been far troni stern. They hiave only been reflecting a regrettable public altitude, a mishmash of mnisplaced pity and sloppy'ý thinkîng. FIortunately, there aae some iecent signs that the public attitude lias been stiffening as people beginti o appreciate the full menace of the dangerous driver. it is a crious thîng tint people who can be horrified by, týhe deaths of a' few dozen people in an air crash (something tint d"ces not happen at ail frequently) can callously ignolie"tie dail'y death tell on thie roads.
