Davis, has announced that 456 students from Ontario schools will travel to various parts of Canada this summer as participants in the Centennial Federal -Provincial Youth Travel Program. The Department of Educa- tion and the Department of Tourism and Information of the Ontario Government, in co- operation with the Centennial Commission of the Federal Government provide young Canadians with the opportunity to travel outside their native province. This will give the students the chance to learn at first hand something of the geography of their country, its educational and political insti- tutions and its cultural and in- dustrial achievements. Approximately 3000 students from all of Canada will take. part in this summer's program. The students will spend a full week in the province they visit and will be entertained in the homes of private citizens. The selection of participat- ing schools is made by lot under the supervision •. the Depart- ment of Educatiof ci and the Ont- ario Headmasters' Association. The principal of each of the selected schools, assisted by members of his staff, nominat- es a boy or girl, 15 to 17 years of age, preferably in Grade 11, to participate in the program. Ontario will exchange stu- dents with the Yukon, North- west Territories, British Col- umbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Bruns- wick and Newfoundland. The students will travel by rail with the Centennial Com- mission and the Department of Education sharing the travelling and living costs. The first groups of students will leave Ontario about July 5th. The first of the visiting students will arrive in Ontario on the same date.

Language `Labs' At the University of Guelph next year, students taking French, German, Spanish, Rus- sian, Italian --and even Latin -- will look like spacemen, each with a tiny headset and trans- mitter. This special equipment allows students to hear and speak a language privately in any room. The language in- structor, also equipped with headset and transmitter, can tune into his students' sets, and even assign homework to be "written" on tape in their note- books. These portable language "labs" are only one feature of the emphasis that the Depart- ment of Modern Languages in Wellington College, the new College of Arts and Sciences at the University, places on the ability to understand and speak a foreign language. Dr. Rex Barrell, head of rhe Depart- ment, feels that once a student is at home in a language, he can approach its literature more confidently and creative- ly. Students entering the first- year French course in 1965wi11 be able to take all their class- es, as well as their laboratory work, in French. This "direct method" of learning and using French, which is not the tra- ditional method in Canadian universities, emphasizes the spoken language rather than extensive readings in French literature. Students will proceed to an intensive study of literature A New Feature after they are proficient in the language itself. Those who pre- fer to study the language in a more traditional manner will be able to choose the other first-year French course, given largely in English, which offers the usual combination of lang- uage and literature. Whitechurch Students of the University of Western Ontario who have",se- cured summer employment are Muriel Moore at the U.D. P.C. in Wingham and Wayne Martin at the Teeswater Creamery. Murray Coultes will help with the farm work at home. Mrs. Lizzie MacDonald en- tered Victoria Hospital, London, on Tuesday of last week for an operation for cataracts on her eye.
