Forrester. Editor Letter to Editor Accessibility Accessibility is becoming a key word in many sectors of our lives and of recent months that would include include health and medical care and of more recent days, education, especially that at the university level. In both cases we are either threatened with utter mediocrity as has been the case over the past few years in education or see such on the horizon with medicare. There are some hard decisions to be made in both cases and this could well affect the accessibility to the services now offered. A high school diploma is no longer a guarantee to a university education! Sixty percent is not just good i enough in a major number of courses. The band will tighten as money is directed to its best use and hopefully to those in need and those receptive to the service. Our, country depends on the right course being taken. Accessibility Accessibility will become an issue. W.C. Found jn the Toronto Star writes when referring to university accessibility, "There are , economic, social and cultural reasons why accessibility is important. Attendance at university is'not the only way to achieve economiç advantage, social adjustment and the development of a creative, democratic citizenry; but it is probably the most efficient way to meet these objectives." It is Found's definition of a university education that impresses us the most, "teaching students to think independently, to gather and analyze information, to make decisions, to understand the society in which they live, to adjust to changing circumstances, and to express themselves clearly." It is a plate full but surely attainable but we contend contend it has to start a lot earlier in life and this could well be at least in the secondary educational system. We cannot cannot only exist we have to do better. It is a challenege not only for the educational system itself, its administrators and its teachers but society as a whole. We cannot accept mediocrity any longer nor can we wait on the sidelines waiting for someone someone else to carry the ball. The nation as a whole must be involved. It is the future of this country and its citizenry.

One teacher told me her school was situated on a corner. The pupils came from the north and the south and the east : and the west. She thought they would never stop coming. coming. It was a rural school, they were of all ages and all eight grades. Seating became a problem even the piano bench had to serve as a desk. It used to be quite an experience experience going into the north to teach by train. For some it was their first night ori the train leaving Toronto about ten p.m. The first day you journeyed thro' the long train looking for other teachers. Then the questions began. How far do you go etc? The second day there were, several, of us. At nearly every stop one would get off. Often it was just a flag stop. One girl . telling toe of her experience later sdid. She sat ori her trunk on the platform and looked at the forest for what seemed hours. Then a man with a lumber wagon drawn by a,team appeared. He said, "I suppose you're the new teacher." "Yes," she agreed. He put her trunk in the wagon and told her to get up on the seat beside him. She was from Dundas Street, Toronto. They drove and drove through the bush. She wondered ifjhe was kidnapping kidnapping 'her. When.they reached the settlement he said so and so lives thèrç. They have six kids dnd Mr. Brown lives i there he has four and so on. Then when they reached his house, the window was a bouquet'of little faces. "Never mind throwing off my trunk," she told him. " 1 I'm not goini to stay." "Well you'll have to stay till the day after tomorrow," he said, "as there is no train out." , When she went inside supper supper was, ready. There was only only one big room in the house. "Where was she going to . sleep?" However, a spring and mattress was unhooked from the wall and let down curtains were pulled out on wires and she was told, "That will be your bed.' Did she stay? Of course and loved it. V-.\ 1 arrived in Hudson at z a.m. at the end of the second day. It was a very busy station, station, all kinds of express was being unloaded.
