It is going too far
Beginning in 19'73, students entering
the province's teacTiers'-w' colleges "'will
require' a university degree in arts pr
science, it was revealed by Ontario's new
-Minister of Education, Robert Welch. •
It should ba stated at the outset that
this newest announcement is not the
product OS some deep soul-searching by
M. Welch, but rather it is a carryover, we
would suspect, , from "the -,Honourable,.
,hf 11
r•tfhM1 if14 t • .vrWi• .lY.V,k
We do, not intend to comment,on the
-visdom of this decision toupgrade the
requirements- for entering into teachers',
college. We may honestly question the
reasoning behind this move. Is it to`'
produce better classroom teachers or is it
to keep prospective teachers in school for
alonger period of time before they move
out into the work( stream? We 'really
wonder.
What does, give us the -greatest measure
. of concern is the fact that, according to
Mr. Welch, beginning in 19174° virtually all
new teachers joining the staff -of our
elementary schools .will ''hold university
degrees.
How are we going to pay all these new
teachers the starting salaries they will have
a right to demand according to tiresent
pay schedules? How are we. going to
absorb them into our system when the
natural tendency of any board desi."ring to
keep expenses down will. be to engage the
best possible 'feathers with the least
'amount of formal education , for the
longest period of time just to avoid added
costs? •

Dear Madam:
With the Local. Gals doing
such a dandy 'job Of airing all
angles of the Abortion Issue,
comments from a mere male on
this topic would be superfluous.

commend Acting -Editor Shirley
Keller for tackling a touchy
subject and putting the plightof

She explained, in last weeks
column, that the, Pentagon has
been using -these prisoners.. as
part of an intense propaganda
campaign to 'stir up hatred
against Hanoi and so justify
escalation of the bombing.
One ,of the things that the war
has ' demonstrated ' Is that,.,.
advertising does 'Ipay. It has
