The ‘report is based upon a Study in Ontario and here are some of its figures:
In 1951 the 15 to 19 age group numbered 316,000.
According to estimates, about 105.000 of these could have prof- itably continued their educations beyond secondary school. However, only 111,000 of them enrolled in grade 9; only 35.13 reached grade 13; and only 18,620 graduated from grade 13-or about six per cent of the original
Only one-fifth of the students in the ‘top - intelligence" bracket are included in the six per cent.

One aimed at identifying capability (i.e., intelligence, industry ‘ ter- mination, effective work habits etc.) in grade 9 or earlier, and at determining the action required to ensure that all those qualified, continue their education.
Another research project would-
aim at an analysis of the charac- teristics of those who now drop out of secondary school and their reasons for dropping out.
Under another recommendation scholarship funds would be estab- lished to an extent sufficient to ensure that one could be earned by all students of superior aca- demic stand-ing,

Game OI
Season Played At Souris
on Saturday night the first
jockey game of the season was
ed on Souris Ice. Morell and sou;-is pitted their skills against onganother. The final score was $5. With a tie score comes mem- or-ies"‘of a few years back, when Morelland Souris used to wage many nip and tuck battles. I Rarely was a game decided by moi-€ than two goals and the teams pretty well . shared the games won. Then Souris improv- id their team, while Morell lost tome of their better players. The games were no longer close, with Souris easily defeating the scrap- py. Morell squad. As a result Morell dropped ‘down one classifi- éation to Intermediate “C".
One of the most powerful lines ever to play on Souris ice was formed last year. This line was eoniposed of the Peters brothers and Rollie Jenkins. This line is not back this year. New faces have appeared on the scene. Just how well these new faces will fit to.the Eastpack style is hard to say. One thing for sure is that Souris will have one of ‘it's youngest teams.
:Morell, last year, advanced to the Island finals in Intermediate “C”. The year previous, they land annexed the Island crown. This year, many of the old faces Ire gone, and new and younger faces have appeared. Some of the mainstays have hung up their Skates. After two years of tak-
. they've retired from active competition.
Turning to basketball, Souris High lost its second straight Is- land League game on ‘Saturday afternoon when they bowed to Summersid: High. This was also the eighth straight loss of the season for the High School boys. However there is hope for the future. As far as defensive play is concerned. the boys are improv-
steadily. Their offensive lhou_ld,~b_e better on their own court.- v The High School play their first home game in the new lea- Elle this Saturday.

Ghosts Open -Capped Bottles
SEAFORD, N.Y. (CP) —If James Harmann’s house is haunted, he has one consolation —he does..t have "0 worry about bottle openers.
For a week now, bottles have been flipping their lids. The mys- tery continued Tuesday, he said. as the top .-I a bottle of toilet water and a bottle of turpentine came off, with no human being coming forward to claim credit.
The bottle tops and the bottles have not been damaged. Har- ma.nn says tops of sever 1 bottles have been found during the last week lying mysteriously near the bottles they should be topp‘ng. None showed signs of tampering.
One explanation put forth ‘by civic authorities who looked into the matter is that there is an underground stream under Har- mann's house. The stream rocks the house’s foundation, disturbing the bottles, they say.
Replied Harmann: “I’ll settle for an oil well trying to break through."

Officials commenting on the above tremendous percentage dis- posal said that low-grade skins showed great strength, and that there had been a continuing trend for buyers to buy not only the high-grade skins, but also the low- grade skins.

MEETING
Canada Mink Breeders will hold its 1958 annual meeting in Ed- monton, Alberta, in the MacDon- ald Hotel. Dates set are Sept- ember 17 to 19. Ranchers intend- ing to attend this meeting should get in touch with Norman W. Shields, executive secretary, Mon- treal. , .
.Ed Gold,‘ reporting in the Feb- ruary 6 edition of Women’s Wear Daily, states that standard ranch type mink continued to set a tor- rid pace, with ordinary collec- tions of males selling very firm, compared to January, while fe- males advanced‘ 71/§~"~'percent.‘.’ ‘Of-' ferings consisted of a large col- lection from Great Lakes Mink Association, and other shippers, and the turnover was 99 percent.
The official breakdown show- ed 244,705 GLMA pelts- ”' r- cent sold, with top males bringing ‘$42 and top females $21.50. Darks for other shippers totalled 14,537, with 99 percent sold. Top males brought $37 and females $22. The salesroom talk was that darks continued to show tremendous strength, the consensus_ of opin- ion being that all types advanc- ed 10 percent over the previous sale. DARK MARKET
The growing strength of the Dark market was attributed to two basic factors: 1. More wide- spread distribution in the trim- ming trade, and the fact that more coat houses have entered the trimming picture—thus a big increase in trimming demand. 2. Many firms, which previously had not handled mink, are switching to mink and there were reports that muskrat houses were joining the mink parade.
FOR PESOS
A despatch from Buenos Aires states that during 1957, a total of 1260 minks were bred in the estuary of the Parana River of Buenos Aires province. The se
minks were bred in the estuary of the Parana River «of Buenos
the offspring of a shipment of 62
mink imported from United Sta- tes in April,‘ 1955. The climate of the estuary is particularly fav- orable for mink breeding. Quality obtained is said to be similar to that of Canadian skins. The colors bred are: Dark grey, dark brown, light brown, bluish light grey, and white. Experi- ments are being made to obtain a violet shade.
Prices paid to the breeders, per skin, vary from 1,000 to 3,000 pesos—equal to $27 to $80.
We pretty nearly got into fox farming in Buenos Aires. It hap- pened this way:-we were in cor- respondence with very responsible parties there.regarding the start- ing of silver fox farming in that locality. A young German, in whom they had great ‘confidence, was sent up to learn the business and spent a year at the McLure and MacKinnon Fox Farms.
He progressed so well that he passed the examinations and re- ceived the diploma of the Me- Lure and MacKinnon School of Silver Fox Farming. We notified his sponsors that he was cap-
and were prepared to ship them 40 pairs of silver foxes, of good quality, for $20,000 delivered in Buenos Aires, and recommended that shipment be made between the 15th of September and the 1st of October, 1939.
Before we got a reply back, Hitler had started World War II and the German youth was taken into custody here, although we had never heard him express any anti-British senfiments.

QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec's two major labor bodies, representing 225,000 workers, Wednesday pro- posed sweeping changes “within the briefest possible delay” to _Quebec’s complex education sys- tem.
The organizations suggested ra- dical changes at the classroom level from first grade to univer- sity and at the history - steeped administrative stages from the elected school boards to the su- preme public education council.

3. That all persons —‘ not only property owners -- be eligible for election to schoolboard posts ex- cept at Montreal and Quebec where board members would be appointed from representative or- ganizations.
4. Appointment of persons rep-_ resenting various organizations to the Catholic committee of the council of public instruction. Such representative persons s h o u l d form two-thirds of the lay ap- pointm nts to the committee. All Roma . Catholic archbishops and bishops of the province now are automatically members of the committee and this would remain unchanged. ' ,
Purpose of the proposals, the labor groups said in the brief, is to make education available to more-young people and to intro- duce more democratic methods of administration at all education levels.
The brief said Quebec province is 25 years behind other provinces in the field of ,education. There were few suggestions made con- cerning the education of English- speaking Roman Catholics or
Urge Buying 01'' Canadian Made ‘Appliances
MONTREAL, “Housewives buy- ing Canadian-made electrical ap- pliances help solve Canada's un- employment problem,” T. J. Bell, president of the Canadian Electrical Manufacturers Associa- tion, commented Wednesday dur- ing observance of National Elec- trical Day. In the past few months, he explained, foreign manufacturers have increased shipments of electric appliances into Canada, often at distress prices, throwing more and more Canadians out of work.
The electrical industry, he pointed out, is one of the nation's largest secondary industries. “It employs some 40,000 men and women to supply the household market alone,” he said. As a re- sult of increased imports of for- eign appllances, hundreds of em- ployees have already been laid off the production lines for such items as electric refrigerators, laundry equipment, and to a les- ser degree, electric ranges. This in turn has threatened the job security of Canadians in supplier industries such as the steel, cop- per, aluminum. insulation and‘ plastics industries.
HIGH QUALITY
Mr. Bell suggested that house- wives buy Canadian-made elec- tric appliances not only to pro- tect jobs for Canadians, but also to get appliances made to the highest safety standards. “All electric appliances made in Canada must meet the require- ments of the Canadian Standards Association, while some of the imported goods do not meet these safely requirements," he said.

ALERT SENSES

Protestants in the brief which dealt almost exclusively with problems related to the French- language education system. ATTENDANCE IS PROBLEM
Major problem. the brief said. is that of school attendance among young people between 14 and 20 years of age. In this re- spect, in 1951, Quebec ranked be- hind all other provinces and stood at the level of the Canadian aver- age in 1925. .
“Doubtless, the facts reported do not honor us in the eyes of our compatriots in the other prov- inccs. But instead of trying to hide these things let s make an effort instead to realiz their gra- vity and to find the means to improve the situation.”
The most urgent way to solve the school attendance question was to extend compulsory school- ing to 16, and to establish free education at all levels.
NOTICE
