examinations have cramped and Imprisoned generation of students the University of Torontos dir ector of admissions said in recent ad dress Davidson in luncheon talk to the Rotary Club of Toronto described the examinauonsewhich will be abolish ed in ldeJas an anvil on which the ed ucational shape of future generations is hammered Anviis produce rigidity and rigidity is not the way of todays world He predicted that Grade 13 will give way to transformed Grade 12 which will spur growing independence of thought on the part of students and act as true transition between irigh school and university The final year must he truly transl tionai the student must learn as he leaves secondary school to begin lnde pendent study drawn by the magnet of is intellectual objectives and driven by the proddingwhether stern friendly or amusingof his teachers Answering question about Grade 13 exams Toronto newspaper explained that the Ontario Department of Educa tion had announced tentative plans to abolish thevGrade 13 examinations but not the grade itself in 1988 and to re place thcrn with achievement tests In 1967 changeover year students will write achievement tests and examina tions University entrance requirements are determined by the individual univers itles and may vary depending upon the course selected The Toronto Daily Star comments that Grade 13 isnt such bad year after all it seems to hosts of students after they have been through the mill Certainly the shining standings pub lished this Week show the year bnngs good returns for hdrd work Ste now eing contemplated to do away ththe grade entirely should botaken with the utmost discretion the Star believes Grade 13 is unique Ontario institu tion and with the changes that have al ready been made it can be very valu

Ontario docs adopt 12year sys tern we suggest that it not be the top grade that is Iopped off but yearfar ther down the line Elementary school lng could be compressed into seven years instead of eight This would still leave five years of high schooling it might be asked should Grade 13 has already been defused by reduced emphasis on the June ex aminations they counted this year for only 65 per cent of the final results serious criticism has been that it is year of pressure But somewhere along the line student has to be put to the test He cant just drift into univers lty or other institutions of learning or Into exacting jobs on the wingsof song if Grade 13 Is cut out then Grade 12 will become the pressure cooker Workers Watch Too The Ontario government doesnt have to take back seat to any province in Cana da in the matter of legislation and provi sions for compensation payments The Sudbury Star notes Toronto union wants to talk about tougher safety in spection on construction projects
