The set up of a definite educational goal in Ontario which achild could attain by the age of 16 years was advocated by Dr. C. C, Goldring, Superintendent of fichaols for Toronto, Addressing the daily directors' luncheon at the Canadian National Exhibition on the occasion of Children's Day, Dr. Gold- ring deplored the fact that the legal age at which scholars could leave school--16 years--came at a point where they were half way between entrance and matriculation.
