Mr. Patterson dir- ected his addrcss on the sibject, "Education for the Fuiture." In opening lis address AMr. iPatterson asked his audience to participate in a niumber of ques- lions which proved that no two peopie, in the audience were aiike no)r did tley hiave the same inter- ests or degree of aptitude in these interests. "The essential point,"; hie said, "is thiat eadh student is dlifferent." Withi this point prov- en 2Mr. Pattersq.-n said "that the fo)cus in edutcation today and in the future is on the individluai raýthier ta on the mnass cram- min., of knowiedlge." Today's sehools and the sehools oýf the ftureare and wVilil be 'vaStly- different fromn what the v were agnrainago.

Thiis mnas that every teacher mnust to somne extent become a 1patiig schologist in the sense of lis becoming a student of hiumaun behnaviour. Thus e-ducators must perceive YereS anld learning situations in new and dîfferent ways. The tendher, ýof the future, r ather than the teaclier of yesterday mnust be a stimulator, a facilita- tor, an enabler. He is 'concerned more witl thc learning processes than wîth content material.

Mr. Kelly was introducced by MIr. Ptuissell Osborne. M.Kelly stated -thnt Estate plannling was becoming of great- er importance due to changes ia tIc law nn"d to thc f-,ct thiat est- ates were increasing la value,.lie said that people slould deter- mine the value of their estates and should seek ndvice la hand- ling of the estate. Here lepoint- ed out thnt la Most cases a aum- ber Of avenues were open de- pending on the latent of the est- ate -owner. The speaker -noted a aumber of changes la both the Estate tax an&1 Gift Tax Law. Under present leg- îslation a person ,May give .4ny aumber of gifts ia value not ex- ceeding $2,000. indivldually la any one year witlout tax. Also' the exchiaage of glfts betwcen Iýpouscs is tax free as well as a one la i a lfetime gift up to $10,000. la value from a father to son. In thé, Estate Tax there is no tax when property is willed le-, tween spouses providiag no con- ditions are attadhed. Nor is-there tax la regards a dhild receiving est4ate up to a value of $10,000.00. Mr. Kelly also- pointed out other conditions wlere taxwas not ap- plicable. flc said tînt nithougli these conditions looked gencrous the rate of tax when chargeable was now hîgflier tîanu under prev- bous legisiation. The spcekeroutlined lan gpinr- ai a number of possibilities te evade higlier taxation nndc to make uise of present glft tax leg- isîntion. Thesýe took the formn of a partnership and 'also thie form-ra- tion of a ecompnaniy. Hc did em- phasize tînt every estate is someý- wlat different and it was 'impos- sible te set a general policy for everyone. Mr. Kelly stroagly adviscd that e veryone should make a wilL if suh 'does not exist the Province will determine the disposition of thc estate and this would net ai- ways follow the intent of the de- ceased. When asked who would place valuation on an estate, Mr. Kelly snid it .was usually la co-opera- tion between the executors of thc estate* and the varlous -depnrt- ments of the goverameat. lie ai- so ýcommnentcd that tic value of incorporating a business or-fnrmi operation mny decrease under conditions proposed in thc White Paper. In closing le said bce felt it, most important that censidera- tion be given to estate planning and especially wlere thc value of the conccrned property was .ever $40,000.00., Mr. Kelly was tlanjked by Mr. Angus Loucks and Mr. Josleph Walker.

H-e feit thc crowd could be hnandled dlue to the fact tînt a lot of preparation was going ia- to thc planniing of thc festival.
