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 our young'people and
our province if we taught them any
.thing less.

universities. in the last four years

Government expenditure for student
awards, 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 from
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 elee-
tronics. Starting from zero in 1967
Ontario now has 20 community
colleges with 61 locations and some
38,000 full time and 34,000 part time
students.
Ontario Universities now have an
estimated 104,000 full time students
and 69,000 part. time students. Pic-
