Of these six only four will graduate. ‘"Such figures represent a seriâ€" ous waste of endeavour and of money. We hope the learning and teaching standards will be improved since, under the new "Some of the students will have already made up their own minds," Mr. Lakie said, and those who have not "may start on a fiveâ€"year course if they think they want to go to colâ€" lege. A mistake in choosing the course will not be serious since the student may go in any direcâ€" tion at the end of the Grade 9 classes."

W $4.50 Light would give you the adâ€" ditional light necessary for a better picture. It might be well to add that on every Wink Light there is a small flash which uses the A.G. 1 flash bulb. This is for use in conditions where there is not sufficient light even with :3000 film then it is really dark. > When buying your oquip;nent for Polatoid Cameras do not forget to drop in at Don Rusâ€" sell Drugs, h for ts .:cflqurunflm flash equipment, etc. Again I have been asked why one cannot use the Polaroid Wink Light with the ordinary camera and again the reason is the same as before. The Polaroid Wink Light does not take the place of an elecâ€" tronic flash being designed by Polaroid as an adjunct used with the 3000 film. The Wink Light lets you take pictures indoors without flash because it in a sense is mereâ€" ly a fill in light to help to illuminate some of the dark factions which require lightâ€" ing. If there is sufficient light in a room, say from a window or several strong lights such as in a store where the light value would be strong or E.V. 15 or 16 the Wink Light would not be necessary because there is sufficient illumination to take care of all necessary light. s If it were necessary to open up to E.V. 10 then the Wink Light would be most useful to relieve the harsh shadows which would be found in the picture. In other words if the light came from an angle on th® subject without giving E.roger lighting, your Wink ght would give you the adâ€" | "I think we will be able to |embark on a fiveâ€"year plan for |commercial and technical stuâ€" dents and we are preparing to start a twoâ€"year plan for drop |outs if we are able to fit it into |the school timeâ€"tables," said C. fW.

"Its success depends on the coâ€"operation of all conâ€" cerned," he concluded. Even those students who drop out of school will be improved by ‘the system ‘since they will have some skill to offer employâ€" ers, gained from a secondary line of courses taken in school. better status in the community since the courses will have a better class of students. JOHN RUSSELL‘S CAMERA CORNER From __New Toronto is building more shops to handle the twoâ€"year courses in technical training, he outlined, and will also add an industrial chemistry course to the studies in technology. The extra shops will be ready in the February of 1963. "We will organize one or two twoâ€"year courses to fit the needs of the Lakeshore," he said. NTSS, he said, will "continue special courses for Grade 8 failâ€" ures who are capable and will transfer these students to other courses when possible, probably to the technical courses We must do a great deal more for those people who will drop out of school at 16," he stressed. ‘ week, 4 a old general and commercial courses available now and New Toronto alsoâ€" has technical, and general courses available , he said. "It will be our policy to expand these courses." ; Mr. Pearson said the schools would offer four and fiveâ€"year courses in both technical courses and academic. "We will have the fiveâ€"year technical students takâ€" ing French at the beginning of the course so they will be ready for college after Grade 13. We may, although, have to restrict the students taking the fiveâ€"year course according to their abiliâ€" ties. Mimico will also follow the plan on the same lines." He added, "We don‘t envisage a great shifting of courses after the first year but we will make provision for it." R 3042 BLOOR ST. W, THE KINGSWAY ... 86.
