Ontario's way of learning has changed, because our way of life has changed. Children today learn mathe- matics by discovering how numbers behave and what 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 out 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 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. Your children aren't going to get the education you got. Canada's life style of tomorrow presents many challenges. But it's Ontario's style to meet these challenges today. 0 Government of Ontario • tk 114
