The speaker said he felt the cntrance requirements and the work requirements to the smaller universities should not be lowered as they are somewhat judged by the acceptability of graduates to do post graduate work anywhere. small university should stay with- in its own field and do a good job there as it has done in the past. Most. small universities have a . , ed. compact. and well bal- anced faculty whose sole aim is to turn out good men and women.

He felt people should not focus to hard on the costs of the smaller universit- ies but rather should support them in the limit and fully recognise the important place they really play in the territories which they serve and the benefits to their young people. each other miirht Chairman yesterday was Rotar- iiin Dr. J.

C.N.R. preeideii was questioned by committee members on the 1951 report of the railway and its IllbIldAIy enter- prises. Yearly delicit of the Prince Edward Island car ferry and cor- mlnals was listed at 31,200,000. Mr. McLurc questioned the ac- curacy of this dflgure. He asked Mr. Gordon if the ferry was given credit for long-haul freight orig- inating in Prince Edward Island to be offset against outlay for maintenance of the ferry. Mr. Gordon said he had with him no breakdown of that phase of the railways operation. Actual operation of the "Abu- weit" did not form part. of the Canadian National Railways tin- anclai report, the C.N.R. presi- dent said. The railway simply weighs actual revenue against op- erating costs and sends the bill for any deficit directly to the Government. "As I have said on previous oc- casions," Mr. McLure remarked. "I think the word fdeflcitf is the wrong word to use in this in- stance. 1 also think the ferry is not given the credit to which it is entitled for long-haul freight.
