This who leaves school as soon as he legally means that can, or who simply puts in time, edging from one grade to another until he can take a job, has all the odds against him in the future competition for good em- ployment, A great deal has been said recently about the need for more higher educa- tion, for more young Canadians with training the But before the people can enter universities, they must university in humanities, and the sciences. young complete their secondary school courses. A report by the Bureau of Statistics that 1957-58 the total enrolment in public-controlled 3,474,642. In Grade 9 high school, shows in the school year schools in Canada was that or the 209,926; year, 100, enrolment in first of was in Grade 13, or the final year year of high school, it down to little better than 140.000. For every 100 chil- dren system through to the finish of elementary and was school staying starting out in the public only four have been secondary phases of education. An the while Gazette a the article in Labor ago made this comment on "A by Committee on Practical Education shows subject study carried out some years ago the Canadian Research that economic not the clearly necessity is the only or even main reason for which young people leave school, al- though it is a reason given more often Lack seeing by girls than boys. of interest, or lack education rather of any purpose in further is perhaps more coms- pelling.

It is of important to know, too, how many those who leave school could have developed special talents, and how many of those who stay do so simply to put in time enough effort exerting The many just to get by. main point, how- ever, is that too youngsters, for a variety of reasons, are not taking full advantage of the opportunity given them.

The publie attitude is well expressed in an editorial in the Daily Telegraph which starts with the question, "Who cares about the summit While a year ago, there great concern that such a ing on be held as soon as possible, that has now abated to a notable degree.

Three decisions of the policy-making committee of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, second larg- est in the country, make it crystal clear that the annual con- ference of the Labor Party in the fall will be faced with de mands for radical changes in its policies : The AEU policy committee gave clear cut decisions on three points.

Rev. A. M, Irwin presided over the regular meeting of the Oshawa Ministerial Association. C, J. Wilcox, manager of the government employment buresy, announced that there were vositions in Oshawa for chick there were no persons to fill the vacancies. Board Education presided over by C. N. Henry, chairman, decided to raise the wages of supply teachers in Oshawa by 25 cents a day. of The Union Bank was opened for business in temporary quar- ters in the H. A.

Ford, vice-president and Thomas Henderson, secre- tary-treasurer, Although the bylaw for Osh- awa's participation in the Toron- to Eastern Electric Railway passed the first two readings, the third reading brought bitter arguments in council. Further investigations had shown that the line might be expected to oper- ale at a loss to the communities involved Oshawa A total of $163,485 was the val- ue of the 47 building permits is sued from the town engineer's office during the month of April. The largest single permit was taken out by the Paramount Oshawa Theatre Ltd. for $100,- 000 High School cadets numbering 82 members, com- manded by Cadet W. E. Babe, Cadet Lieutenants, C. Peacock and W. Luke, were inspected by Col. R, K. Barker, veteran of the South African W War Oshawa armament , . . The leadership of the Labor party in parliament can find itself outmanoeuvred and with no option but to resign or to renounce defence beliefs which they have held with deep- est conviction." Behind all this is the recurring question, 'Who makes the Labor Party policy -- the trade unions or the political leaders of the party?' And that pertinent ques- tion will not be answered until the party conference is held in the fall TAILPIECE Ten-pin bowling has got off to a splendid start in the U.K two alleys now operating, one at Golders' Green and one at Stam. ford Hill, are being faced with leng queues of bowlers waiting their turn. They are swamped with customers. The result is that Associated British Cinemas is going ahead with plans to convert 50 of its theatres into bowling alleys. On top of this, many private in- dividuals are getting into the rush to cash in on what looks like being a highly profitable venture, OTTAWA REPORT Canada Council Program Important By PATRICK NICHOLSON The Canada Council has made cash awards to over 600 gradu- ate students this year, for the promotion and encouragement and enjoyment of work in the arts, humanities and social sci- ences The importance this program, now in its fourth vear, can be judged from the high proportion of the income of the Canada Council which is de- voted to it, The size of the awards varies considerably in the 10 different classes, but is scaled to provide the best opportunity for appli- cants of varying ages and at different stages of educational advancement As examples, 64 graduate stu- dents in the humanities each re- ceived pre-doctor's fellowships averaging $2,000, plus travel ex- penses. And 68 short - term re- search grants, ranging from $300 to $1,200, were given to graduate students in the social sciences. OPEN TO ALL CANADA These awards are widespread between students in all prov- inces. The attractive humanities fellowships were divided: 28 to Ontario, 21 to Quebec, 6 to Man- itoba, 2 each to Saskatchewan and Alberta, and one each to P.E New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. One was awarded to a student resi. dent in New York State Eight of these fellowships were awarded to encourage the study of the French language, 11 to students of English, and others to students of German, Spanish, Norwegian, Italian, Latin and Greek. Of those planning to study French, two will do so in Canada, five in France, one in UK and one in US. Of those studying English, none will go to England. The broad intellectual field of Canada's advanced students is seen in the. subjects studied by attached to the winners of grants in aid of "research and other productive scholarship." One will make a survey in Europe of illustrated Bibles made between the years 1100 and 1270. One will "study the dance in Paris." Another will "study supervised strike voting in Ontario and Quebec." One wishes to "study the decline of the British Liberal party 1906- 1931" and he will make his study in Ottawa. One more practically wishes to study the European market for Canadian exports. I hope his findings will be carefully perused by Canadian manufacturers. TRIBUTE TO FAMOUS MAN A research fellowship which has aroused interest here is that awarded to Henry Best, who is now private secretary to Hon, Ellen Fairclough, minister of cit- izenship and immigraiton, after coming here to perform a sim- ilar job with the late Dr. Sidney Smith when he was our foreign minister. He is a brother of Sandy Best, Conservative MP for Halton, Ontario, and a son of Dr. Charles Best, whose name and work are immortalized in the Banting and Best Institute in Toronto. « Henry Best gained his B.A. de- gree from Toronto University in French, and his M.A, from Laval in Canadian history. Now he is working for his doctorate of phil- osophy at Laval, and his thesis will be on the political career of Sir George Etienne Cartier. This award is to assist him in com- pleting this work, which he will later expand into a full-length biography, written in English but also translated into French by himself, for publication in both Janguages. The Canada Council grants to assist higher education have evi- dently become widely known, and now form an important adjunct to our educational system 135 SIMCOE ST. NORTH eo PARTNERS eo B.Comm., CA.
