when Karen Roberta East of

Robertson of Toronto ex-
changed wedding vows on Oc-
tober 20 at :3:;30 p.m.
Rev. Stanley McDonald of
Londeshoro officiated for the
_ double -ring ceremony assisted
-by Pastor Alfred Frv.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward East of
Bluth and the groom is the son
'of Mr. and Mrs. John Robert-
on of Perth. Mrs. Norman
Wightman was the organist.
Given in marriage by her

ming to a floor -length gown of

Mr. and Mrs. Robertson have
taken up residence in Toronto. -
Ontario has spent
$21/4 billion for
education over years
During the past 20 years On-
tario has accomrnodated an in-
creased -school population
equal to -the combined
populations of the cities of Ot-
tawa, Hamilton, Windsor, Lon-
don and Sudbury, Education
Minister Thomas Wells said
last week.
And to do it Ontario spent
$21'4 billion dollars, building
the equivalent of a new
elementary .and secondary
school for every week of the 20 -
ye period. Mr. Wells told the
wring the presen-
tation o the Ministry's
estimates that during the two
decades Ontario's annual in-
vestment in elementary and
secondary education rose from
$11:3 million to over $2 billion.
One of the most significant
improvements during the
period was the steady im-
provement in the qualifications
of Ontario's teachers. Mr.
Wells said that within- a' vary
short period the minimum
requirement for elementary
school teaching has risen from
a grade 12 graduation diploma
to a university degree. With the
majority of the teacher training
programs now coming under
the jurisdiction of universities
it should result in more
creative teaching in the future._
Mr. Wells said during the
same period the pupil -teacher
ratio has decreased. In 1960
the pt.ipil-teacher ratio in the
elementary schools was 31—t-ir'
one. Today it is 25 to one.
During the same period the
pupil -teacher ratio in the -secon-
dary schools dropped from 23
to one to 17 to one. _
The decreased pupil -teacher
ratio, coupledwith superior ad-
ministrative aria back-up ser-
vices such as those provided by
consultants and guidance per-
sonnel, have lightened the
teachers' workload, increased
the effectiveness of their efforts
and brought about an even
higher quality of education
throughout the school system,
Mr. Wells said.
