Education system to slow down
Canada's education system
is heading into a decade of
relative calm after the frantic
growth of the '50s and '60s
says the Bank of Montreal Bus-
iness Review for October.
Total enrolment has tapered
off, the number of teachers is
actually declining, schools
are consolidating or closing
and capital costs are levelling
off.
It is a trend to be welcomed,
says the Review.
"Not only will it supply
some much-needed relief to
the hard-pressed taxpayer
(unless, of course, the slack is
taken up in other areas of gov-
ernment spending), but it also
affords the educational author -
GARDENING TIPS
There are still many garden-
ing chores to do, says R.F.
Gomme, Horticulturist with
the Ontario Ministry of Agric-
ulture and Food.
"Mid -October until freezeup
is an ideal time to plant trees
and shrubs, " he advises. To
prevent feeder roots from being
damaged during stormy weather
support new trees by attaching
them to stakes driven into the
ground•
Dry your tuberous begonias
and place them on trays or in
plastic bags for storage. Dah-
lias and cannas should be air-
dried before they are stored in
boxes or bags. A cover of dried
peat moss will help retain the
right amount of moisture.
ities art opportunity to further
upgrade the quality of education
The Review notes that if
Canadian population projections
hold true, pressures on elem-
entary and secondary schools
should continue to ease until
about 1985. After that, the
"very young" school age popul-
ation will begin to expand again
and we can anticipate increases
in spending.
During this period, enrol-
ment in post -secondary instit-
utions should also ease up.
The Review points out that
many of these are already hav-
ing a hard time attracting stud-
ents. However, the growing
interest in part-time study
(part-time enrolment had tripl-
ed in the 10 years up to 1973)
should cushion this apparent
drop in overall enrolment.
The Review says that with
the general drop in enrolment,
the demand for teachers has
also fallen off.
"Preliminary data for the pre-,
sent school year show a decline
of 1.3 per cent to 265, 000 in
the number of elementary and
secondary teachers, and such
a trend should continue for
the remainder of this decade, "
it says.
Naturally enough, the
number of schools is declining
as well, In 1967, for example,
Canada had nearly 20, 000
elementary and secondary
schools. This year, there are
about 16, 000 a statistic reflect-
ing the closing of rural schools,

the move toward larger, more
comprehensive schools, and
fewer students to fill the class-
rooms.
As the pressures of the baby
boom of the '5 Os and '60s have
passed on, there is no longer
the need for massive building
in the elementary and second-
ary level.
At the post -secondary level
much of past expenditures
involved the putting in place
of necessary facilities and the
incurring of hefty capital costs,
a process that has been for the
most part completed.
The Review notes that in the
past two decades, educational
spending increased by more
than 10 per cent per year, even
considering certain inflation
indices. More recently, the
average annual spending in-
crease has run "only slightly
ahead" of the rate of price
increases.
