i tl ii georgetown herald putiheliod by home newspaper unrlet 22 main shot s georgetown ontario w c brthn fttblralier page 4 thursday march 3rd 1966 editorial comment problem of age y introcluctton of the age discrimination act in the ontario legislature is one move towards recognizing those members of soc iety whose employment opportunities are re stricted because they are irt the 40 to 65 ge- group whether it works in practice any better than laws already on the books banning discrimination because of rce is a question mark the trouble of course is how far in a free society one can force a law which favours one group of people for the very nature of the law then becomes discrimin atory against those who must do the hiring not that we would be egainst any such law if it does nothing else it establishes a basis for perfection a measuring stick which if it only pncks the conscience of a few individuals can have a salutary effect on society it is one of todays trcgedies that we can think of certain positions of response speeding up education elimination of one year of hiqh school education is forecast in experiments now be ing undertaken by a number of ontario uni versifies w has announced that it wim accept a limited number of grade 12 graduates this fall under the plan students will proceed to a general bachelor of arts de gree in three years or an honors degree in four years after successfully completing two preltmmery courses at summer school to be eligible applicants must have a minimum average of 75 percent at the end of grade 1 2 and must not have spent more than four years in high school the program will be initially beneficial to the top strata of students whose percerv- tage shows they have the maturity to at tempt university study it will have the double effect of letting a young person en- buy at home the prosperity of t community de pends to a large extent on the prosperity of its industry do we then support our industry as well as we might

obof run ning the mynd affairs of a wealthy pro gressive province deciding on the expen diture of millions of dollars of our money yet the same mr roberts would have short shrift in answering most of the posi tions advertised daily in the help wanted columns where 35 seems to be the break ing point for most positions in business the age discrimination act is onryrf starting point it must be aocompanied by constant publicity end continuing awareness that men tn the prime of life can be better qualified employees in a new position and should not be automatically eliminated from consideration when a job is open remember winston churchill guided this part of the world through some of its darkest days when the techntclihes of bus mess would have turned him down for most of the jobs available ter the business world a year earlier while giving society the advantage of an extra year of his services ontario is one of the few places where the extra y of h school is required and this has a distinct disadvantage partic ularly for those who plan on a professional career like medicine law end dentistry being able to enter a profession a year earlier eases the f nancial burden and is of great benefit socially to the student whose natural urge for mernage and a home of h s own is delayed because of the undue length of time needed to reach his profes sional goal the educational world will be watch ing with interest the waterloo experiment it could well be the forerunner of the even tual abandonment of the present high school system as we know it ejmadimts
