Growth Need Grant Factor In Education Major changes in Ontario education grants structure to meet the challenge o! soaring school cost-inciuding the adop- tion of what is ta be known as the growth-need factor-have been announced by Premier Frost. Speaking on a provincial a!- fairs teiecast, the premier said that for the first time equalized assessment factors would be used in determinîng school grants, and that school attend- ance and nat municipal popu- lation, or a combination o! both, would caunt in provincial grants. The growth-need factar is a new concept and is made ne- cessary by the changing char- acter of many areas in respect ta schooi populatian, the prem- ier said. "We have municipalities in this province where perhaps in 1957 there wece only a handful of pupils, whereas in 1958 there wili be hundreds," the premier said. "This is accurring nat only in urban areas but also on the perimeters o! urban centres and overflowing into rural townships. In many cases it is happening in areas far remov- ed from urban schools. The growth-need factor applied ta general school grants is an en- tirely new concept we are pion- eering in this province." Mr, Frost said Ontario last yeac cmbackcd upon a three- year plan which involved im- mediate and substantial aid in 19-57, a complete revision o! the school gi-ants un 1958 and a fur- ther refinement of the system in 1959. He described 1958 as the second and most important stage. "Education is costing us avec $300,000,000 a year, and the school building boom will con- tinue for many years," the premier said. "Fiiteen or 20 years fram naw we are gaing ta have two pupils in our schaols for every one we have there today. That is the challenge. It is a verv great and important one, but I assert that na jurisdictîon in Amcric-a has more accurateiv assessrd this problem or made SUChI progress un ts solution as, -we have here in Ontario." à office were: Earl Argue, reeve; Lewis McGill, deputy-reeve; Robert Brown, Henry M.
