How about the risk of failure, how about the risk of being laughed at, how about the risk of coping with both school work andi domestic or job obligations, how about the financial risks? Fortunately aduits who return to school are very successful but you can be sure they worried about the risks involved. The fact that more and more adults are completing their, education is pleasing to me for many reasons. However one of the main reasons is that it shows that the spirit of adventure is not dead. Sometimes we get so tied up with the idea that education is important and that the best jobs go to the graduates, that we forget that there are a great number of people in the world who find school work rough. The fact that everyone needs a good'education to get ahead in today's employmient market doesn't make the school work any easier.

They spend time studying-but time isn't always what is needed. Often what is needed is less time, and better use made of it. 1 feel that if you are going to spend an hour studying, then you should get an hour's resuits. A littie knowledge of some of the psychological research in study habits could pay dividends. For example I know that many people could save many hours of study time if they observed the curve of forgetting. It operates this way. If, tonight, a person was to study and completely learn a piece of information, he would find that by tomorrow night he had forgotten a E',siness Directory Accountancy WM. J. H.

After a week or two, almost aIl the information learned would have been forgotten. But you always remember a littie part of it. And each time you study the information, you will remember a littie bit more. So the most efficient method of learning somnething is to study it one night until you know it, then re-learn it the next night before you have forgotten very much of it. Continue this pattern for several nights. Because each time you re- learn the1 information you permanently remember a bit more, it isn't long before.you know ail the material per- manently. And the time spent, re-learning something yotr studied yesterday is not very great compared to the time needed if you don't study it for a week. An efficient and scientific use of time can pay off very well, whether one finds school work hard or not. Often it can be the difference between success and failure in school But what if, in spite of a good effort a person still can't do school work well, and can't get this magic piece of paper called a diplomna-what is his future? His future is flot as rosy as it would be if he had the education, but it need not be impossible either. If he has obtained Grade 10, there are at Ieast 38 types of apprentice- ship training he can possibly enter. Most of these stress the practical work rather than the academic. True, this is still education, but it may be the type of work he is interested in and can do. If he must go out and get a job this is not necessarily impossible either, but it is flot likely to be a big-paying or bright-future job. However, if he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder and will put forth a good day's work, it can work out. Off hand, I can think of three ex-students of mine who had trouble doing school work and lef t school before they com- pleted Grade 10. One is now buying his third truck for a trucking business he started, one owns his own barber shop, and the other is a leading salesman in his community. Ail three of these boys had trouble learning school work, but they went as far as they could in school and then made use of their other characteris- tics - the willingness to do the best job they could and their ability to get along with people; the ability to make people want to corne back to their store. These fellows are contributing to their commun- ity and we need them. The fact that you get the best education is im~portant, but it does not guarantee you Trinity UCWheld their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 15, with a good attendance. After the opening hymn and prayer, Mrs. Blair conducted the business. She drew our attention to the good job the C.G.I.T. had done in repairing the old hymnarys and asked that a letter ,be sent to them expressing our thanks. In the' absence of the recording Secretary Mrs. M. Slute read the minutes of the previous meeting. The Treasurer's report, given by Mrs. A.W. Harris, showed a good balance for the first quarter. Mrs. E. Shackleton displayed a samiple of the new tote trays that had been purchased by, the kitchen committee and a large culindar. Mrs. G. Barrie announced that the bale to be sent to Dr. Burgess in Angola will be packed at the end of the month and asked that any donations be left at the church. Mrs. C. Trewin re- ported that the three mission- success. There is nothing more important than educa- tion, but there are many things just as important. A reasonable combination of ahl of these things sounds like a good idea to me., TiLRINITY U.C.W., aries we had chosen through the "Live Love" project were accepted. The Community Friendship and Visiting Committee had been at work compiling a list of shut-ins and new members to be visited. Mrs. M. Slute gave each unit leader a list in her own district for which that unit would be responsible. Dates to remember are March 27 when our U.C.W. has been invited to join with the ladies of St. Andrew Presby- terian Church for their Easter meeting, March 30th is the Presbyterial meeting in Sim- coe St. United in Oshawa to hear Mrs. Hilde Toîl, April l9th Mrs. Ferries of Oshawa will be the guest speaker at our own U.C.W. meeting and May l9th is our bake sale and salad luncheon. Mrs. L. Mason and Mrs. A. Hilîs had charge of the worship period taking as their theme The Warmth of Human Hands. The speaker for the after- noun, Mrs. Ralph Campbell, was introduced by Mrs. L,, Dippill. She gave us many interesting and informative facts on "Participation House", which is to be built on three and a haîf acres just east of Bowmanville on Concession Street.

Participation House for Durham Region will serve 24 fuli-time residents, 6 emer- gency care, family relief residents and 30 others, on a daily bussed-in basis. Lt will consist of three residental homes, a dining-room, an involvement centre for activ- ity and recreational pro- grammes, a work-shop, a small greenhouse and later a hydro-therapy pool. Mrs. Campbell showed pictures of the first such home buiît at Markham. We saw these handicaped people at work in the work-shop, at play in the pool and taking exer- cises to strengthen their limbs. Two similar homes are now being built at Hamilton and Brantford and hopefully the one in our region will be next. Governors have been ap- pointed from the Town of Newcastle to administer the affairs of Participation House and Mr. A.
