strict sense figures of teacher shortage should include in some quarters University of Manitoba ing profession thescsomc people think Nevertheless it can scarcely be held that complete illiteracy

thefail ure of young people with talent to go to university is becoming very clear number of moves have been made by both private and public agencies to provide more money for scholarships and bursqries In Britain about 80 per cent of the students are thus assisted it there are to be more moreprofcssors and more eng ineers and more educated people in society there will have to be greater measure of financial assistance at the university level The cost of 38000 more rooms in public and secondary schools will reach three quarters of billion dollars during the next seven years At least $400 mil lion will have to be spent on new university buildings and equip ment within the next ten years The Gordon Commission on Can adas Economic Prospects cstimat ed that about one billion dollars would have to be spent on capital investment in new university facil ities in the next 25 years and from $25 million to $35 million morcannualiy on university sal arics At least 700 new university staff members in the humanities alone will have to be found in the next ten years for Canadian universities More money still for elementary and secondary teachers salaries for bursaries and scholarships and for new intermediate facilities such as junior colleges and tech nical institutes will add to the weight of the outlay An entirely new scale of investment inveduca tioni facin the
