Ontario's way of learning has changed, because our way of life ha's changed. Children today learn mathe- matics by discovering hoW numbers behave. and Vat they mean. They don't study grammar for the sake of grammar, nor accept history without examining all view points. And the sciences they are taught are the sciences of the 70's. The things your child learns today, will prepare, him for the life style he'll face tomorrow. We'd be short changing our young people and our province if we taught them any- thing less. Today the province has 16 universities. In the last four years alone enrolment has more than doubled,. and the, total Ontario Government expenditure for student awarfA, scholarships and fellowships, has risen from $5 million to more than $30 million. Other forms of post-secondary education are also growing rapidly. Example: the colleges of applied arts and technology .are a new style. of Ontario education flourishing fraM Sarnia to Thunder Bay. These com- munity colleges offer diploma courses in everything from biochemistry to naval architecture and, from air traffic .control to advanced elec- tronics. Starting from zero in 1967 Ontario now has 20 community colleges with 61 locations and sortie 38,000 full time and 34,000 part time students. If you don't really believe we need advanced education t6chniques to face an advanced world, we'll give you a selfish reason. Your future. Ontario's economy has grOwn from $14.7 billion in 1960 to some $31.5 billion in 1969. Our incomes have doubled in the same decade. Our increase in -eXports is .the second highest in the world. To maintain this kind of development, we. need well developed people. .Our investment in education helps build a better future. But we need cr strong economy to support our good, intentions. One way you can help: .when price and quality compare, shop„Canadian. Ontario's quest for knowledge con- tinues after the sun goes down, with adults doing most of the studying. In Toronto alone evening courses' number in the hundreds and thous- ands of adults study subjects ranging from carpentry to civics, pottery to poetry. Ontario Universities now have an estimated 104,000 full time students and 69,000 part time students. Pic- tured above is one of the newest Ontario campuses, Trent university in Peterborough. Ontario's labour force which topped 3 million last year for the first time is becoming increasingly skilled and competitive with ' other leading in- dustrial nations. Our annual invest- ment in manpower education is• designed to continue the upgrading of skills through Ontario's program of in-plant training. Canada's life style of tomorrow presents many challenges. But it's Ontario's style to meet these challenges today. 0 Government of Ontario • Department of Trade and Development DEAR DORIS - I am to be married in July and my girl's parents are paying for the wed- "ding. They want an organist at the reception, but my girl and I would like a band. This band consists of 16-year-olds, but they play well. I am" paying for the band. Her mother does not want the band. She says it's her show. *What can I do? -GROOM-TO-BE DEAR GROOM-TO-BE - It is her show - and her' daughter's. Usually such details as mpsic and guests are settled in con- sultation; but there has to be soma give and take on both 41 sides. Why not suggest that the organist play through the din- ner? Then later, if the young folk, want to stay on and dance, have the band for that part A wedding is a family occa- sion, more than a young peo- g pie's party. Only when you start marrying off your own, will you see just how important it is to make it a dignified time-to-re- member for everybody.

CONFIDENTIAL TO UNHAPPY HOME - Getting married for the wrong reason is like taking an express , train to Perdition.Here are some of them: (1) financial security; (2) escape from life behind a typewriter; (3) a crav- ing to put a "MrS." in front of maiden name, like one's school- mates are doing; or (4) desper- ate flight from a home with a too-bossy mother, an alcoholic father, or an unfriendly step- father. Trouble is, a year later some young bride is highly likely to be running back home minus a disappointing husband, but plus one baby; 'especially if the bride is between 16 and 19 years of age.
