TORONTO OFFICE 18 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street. Tele- phone Adelaide 0107. H. D, Tresidder, repre- sentative. THURSDAY, JUNE 9th, 1932. Examination Fees Premier Henry has announced that it is fmpossible for the department of education to reduce the fee charged students writing departmental examinations in the second- ary schools of Ontario to a figure below $1.50 per subject. This figure was set this year, being an increase from the former rate of $1.00 per subject, and there has been some agitation over the increase being made. To many people, it comes as a surprise that 'there are such fees charged for de- partmental examinations which are re- quired to give the student credit for the year's work. It is quite true that the regulations now permit students who have a sufficiently high standing 'in their term's work to be allowed their year without try- ing the examination, but that still leaves a substantial number who have to undergo the departmental tests. In such cases, a fee of $1.50 has to be paid for each paper written. Of this amount, 90 cents goes to the department of education to pay its share of the cost of preparing and printing papers and having them examined. The other 60 tents goes to the local board of education to pay the cost of having teachers act as supervisors and examiners, and for the other details. In each case, it is claimed that these services are provided at a loss, that the fee charged does not cover the actual outlay. The point with which we are most con- gerned, however, is the fate of those stu- dents who are required to try the examina- tions, and whose parents, by reason of unemployment, are unable to pay the neces- gary fee. We understand that some sort of arrangement has been made in the past with philanthropic citizens and home and school clubs to take care of this problem: This year, however, it is likely to be much more aggravated, and unless these child- ren are to be debarred from trying their examinations, some pronouncement of policy to take care of them should be made by the board of education. The amount of the fee, $1.50 per subject, seems high in view of the present-day con- ditions. Many students will have from six to ten subjects, which means fees ranging from nine to fifteen dollars, quite a sub- stantial amount for families which have no income. It is not good enough for the board of education to look to some philan- thropic source to take care of these cases. The board should make its own arrange- ments for this, and should at once let it be known that no student at the collegiate and vocational institute will be debarred from departmental examinations because of the inability of parents to pay the neces- sary fee. There are many students who are an- xious as to where they stand in this matter, and some announcement should be made at once to assure them that they will be wel- come at the examination table, whether their parents can pay the fee or not. If the departmental regulations compel these children to pass the examinations to make progress in their education, surely they should not be compelled to forfeit their year's work because of economic stress at ome: Prosecutions for Fraud «+A number of citizens of Toronto are being Broserulad for fraud in connection with distribution of relief in that city. In several cases, people with substantial bank accounts have been drawing relief orders at the expense of the municipality, and it is stated that approximately 200 cases are under special investigation because of sus- picion that relief has been sought and | when it was not really needed. ~ Such incidents are bound to arise in most municipalities which have a large- sized relief problem on their hands. Unfor- tunately, there are people who have no sense of honesty, and are anxious to grab everything they can get, legitimately or by her means. In such cases, the only re- is prosecution, and it is possible ; this trouble will be eliminated by 'making an example of some of the glaring, The crux of this situation; of course, lies in the investigation of all cases in 'which application is made for relief. In some municipalities, such as Oshawa, this is a huge task, and is beyond the cr.pabili- of the staff available. Much depend: | ence, therefore, has to be placed on the statements made "by the applicants. But the situation in Toronto stresses the neces- sity of making investigation as thorough as it can possibly be made, because it would eventually result in a reduction of relief bills to an extent that might warrant the employment of sufficient help to do the investigating that is required. Currency and Wheat Prices Hon. H. H. Stevens, minister of trade and commerce, has made some interesting observations on the effect of currency con- ditions upon the price of wheat. A stabil ization of exchange between the countries of the world, and a solution of the currency question, in his opinion, would result in a very sharp advance in wheat prices throughout the world. If his views are correct, and they are substantiated by sound authorities, then this country has a vital interest in currency and exchange questions. Wheat is gold for Canada, and if the situation of ex- change and currency is at all responsibile for deflated wheat prices, then it is to the interest of this country that this situation be corrected. It is likely that the initial steps towards this end will be taken at. the Imperial Economic Conference, at which, it is under- stood, there will be a movement for uni- formity of exchange throughout the Em- pire. This would be a step in the right direction, and if, as is anticipated, the Imperial conference is followed by a world conference on the same subject, there are possibilities of results which will be very satisfactory to Canada. Editorial Notes The parks commission has held out the olive branch to the fair board, so every- thing should now be lovely for both bodies. There is a great deal of merit, however, in the proposals for utilizing the space under the Alexandra Park grand stand for exhibition and dressing-room space, Rotary Fair last night started with a bang. It should be bigger than ever to- night. Dredging will soon be started at Oshawa harbor. Unfortunately, this kind of work does not employ a great deal of labor. The work which lies before the new pro- vincial advisory relief committee consti- tutes a man-sized job under present con- ditions. People looking for prosperity should keep their eyes on the prizes shown in the grain exchange lists. Wheat is one of the keys to the situation in Canada. It is strange to find that Jim Curran, newspaper publisher of Sault Ste. Marie, is the prize free publicity hound of Ontario. Newspaper publishers usually fight shy of free publicity stunts, but Jim seems to get away with it--even to the extent of front page space in the metropolitan dailies. As a result of Jum Curran's high pres- sure publicity, we will expect to meet all our brother editors of Ontario at the Soo during the last week of July.

Other Editor's Comments AS APPALLING AS WAR (Ottawa Journal) The disturbing thing is that automobile accidents are growing, They are growing in Ontario; grow- ing in Canada: growing in every part of the world. In the year 1931 there were 3,000,000 automobile accidents in the United States, with 1,000,000 people killed or injured. This. as the San Francisco Ar- gonaut well says, is too appalling to comment upon, It is as destructive and as appalling as war. And as in the United States, so in Great Brita We read in the London Times that London strcet accidents in the first quarter of this year show an increase in the number of people killed from 289 (0 314 and of the injured from 9943 to 10865. More than that, Sir Herbert Samuel, speaking to the Bri- tish Safety First Association, said that reports re- ceived from all over England showed that there had been an increase amounting to 20 per cent. in fatal accidents in the first quarter of this year. . These are disturbing facts. Where the remedy lies, it is not easy to say, but one thing ig sure, It is that people cannot permit the automobile ro be- Some their master, to take precedence over human ife.

Is it not then sane reasoning that if we can relieve this strain though we did not prolong the life we would feel some pleasure in know- ing that we had given some relief even in the few declining years.
