Ontario Association for Continuing Education By an Order-inâ€"Council, colleges of applied arts and technology or community colleges have been planned, believing that they can play a vital role in the task of developing human resources in the province in relation to the ecoâ€" nomic and social needs of the area. This Association for Continuing Education has set up Adult Counselling Centres in con- junction with the Department of Education. to satisfy the increasing desire for additional edu- cation. Since we have centered an era of rapid changes, many job requirements for skilled la- bour are appearing; and opportunities for Lin- skilled labour are disappearing rapidly.

In most cases a small fee is charged for night courses.

This department was founded in 1930 and eleven ministers have served. During this period two new branches. a Family Service Branch and a Research Branch have been formed and the budget has been increased from two milliOn to 207 million dollars.

Each person has the right [0 think that he can do something that nobody else can do. He may have only one talent or perhaps less than five loaves and two fishes, But there is a time when he can say a word, cast a vote. utter a prayer, give a cup of cold water, and when if he doesn't nobody else can quite make up for his loss. He can stand up and be counted. and like everyone else he counts for one. ~Ernest Marshall Hnwse il' * it "You say the little efforts that 1 make \V’ill do no good: they never will prevail To tip the hovering scale Where justice hangs in balance. I don‘t think I ever thought they would. But I am prejudiced beyond debate In favor of my right to choose which side Shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight." â€"â€"Bonaro W. Overstreer.
