ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TIIUUSDAY, APRIL 18, 1963 O"RONO WEEKLY TIMES, _Authorized as Second Class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Manager Are S-tandards To 'Continu,- Up P. -C. Houston of Ingersoll, speaking at the Federation ýof Catholic Parent-Teacher Association of Ontario, called far open university, doors to 'ail grade, 13 graduates even, though they do flot have the required 60% passing mark. A warning was issued that there is a. danger the prov- Jicial government wll. continue to raîse university entrance standards rather than provlding more space for the increas- .a- number of students. It was claimed that standards for .University ent rance has in somne cases already been raised to 66 per cent and this we have often ,heard from local nources. There is, indeed a danger in raising standards to crop- of f surpluses in universities and ln any field of learning and employment. In recent months a recommendation was miade to the fact that nurses should he universitygraduates and no ûOubt this wiUl, in the future, corne to pass.,Entrance into teacher colleges for publice chool teaching is now more stringent and wiil no doubt increase in the future. The new Robarts plan in the Toronto area is in differ- cnt localities setting differing ýstandards and requirements. Ina'the North 'York s9chools the vzirlousstreams of education (University 'bound ,and4 four-year courses) are' divided at grade,8. Students at this point must make more than 66 per cent to enter the five-year unversity bounid course. At Hum- berside Collegiate the streamiing commences at grade 9 and a student must ha.ve 50 per cent with no failures to proceed' ini the five-yea&r course in grade 10. Complalnts have been re- ceived where students withi 57 per cent froni grade 12 were flot allowed to proceed Into gradie 13 because it necessitated 60 per cent inI this particular school. Toro nto Board of Edu- cation lets ayone who passes grade 12 with 50 per cent try grade 13. O f course a certain standard has to be set for entrance into University or to advancement In further grades but * such should, not be used as a means to cream off surplses. This would only defeat the objective of givlng everyone equai opportunity to'gain an ample education. Another fild in which cream-off can apply la the setting and marking o! exyams. The more difficult and more severe, then sa drop in percentages. Weý are under the imn- pression that such grades, as grade 13 are today a year of intensive study and far beyond the work requlred soma ten yea.rs ago. This may be fine as it creates responsibility in the student but it can oertainly be overdone to the point of discouragement to students. It may, be that we are creating a spiralling project. To take one example . . . entrance to Teachers' Colege re-' quires a grade 13 diploma . .. to morrow if the supply it too great it could'require a university diploma. This is not the purpose of public education., Education la a must but it should not be designed as a burden, to develop only egg-heads, or nervous wrecks.
