A, Cameron of the research department 01 the On- tario College of Education said last night. Dr. Cameron was addres-Ing a gathering of 'borouto teachers and other professional people called by the Inter -Professional association in the Heliconian club. "Likewise, we speua• almost as much on tobacco and more on gaso- line,' said Dr. Cameron. "Tice cost of education in Canada per capita is 510 per year, do New York it is around 523. for all states, including those with large negro populations where the per capita costs amount to only $4, the figure is nearly 514." Canada should actually spend a geart deal more on education rather than retrench, said the speaker. The 50Ju1im1, Dr, Cameron said, lay in a better distribution of costs and an increase in provincial gov- ernment grants.
