& A a MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY ) 'Marks, Alone, Not Important NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION 'Notes To Promote Education The Federal government is planning to launch a ten-million a year scholarship scheme 'in the field of higher education. This is welcome news to the universities, It does nothing however to provide funds for the new building programme that is required if we are to accommodate those who seek a university education. The administration of the new schol- arship funds .will have to be worked out with the individual provinces. Here the government should meet no opposition be- 'ause it is quite clear that the provinces are too hard pressed to do much about increasing their aid. to universities or deserving students. ) 1961-1962, the total expenditure of the government on universities amounted to only sixty million dollars. The time of final examinations in the high and public schools is rapidly draw- ing near. Few pupils are looking forward to them with anything approaching de- light. It is remarkable how many of them actually regard examinations with a spec- and Comments Where are the capital funds coming which are rieeded to provide the new facilities ? Nobody seems to know. As usual we approach the biggest problems in the most piece-meal fashion. Let the government get to work on some feasible plan for extending the fac- iitlies for university students. Pursued with vigour"# plan might well be forth- coming before next September. { At least a the problem. start could be made on And what a problem! In the next ten vears our university enrolment should triple. » and what we do with it that is important. Marks of themselves like diplomas don't mean much. The meaning lies in what we have really learned and the kind of experience that we have passed through : of the 'Ascension that day. i |] 1 again this week.

The answer was positively devasta- ting. It pointed out that an old! dodge, detested by good journalists, was used by Maclean's--a quotation, from which a key word was dropped. The meticulous journalist leaves quotes untampered with, even to mis- placed commas or bad grammar.
