McIntyre, '17E, writes onj "Canadian Education" in the sixth article of the series of eight about that country. A comprehensive discussion of Can- adian education would require more space than I am afforded and I will limit myself to a brief discussion of the standards of Canadian high schools and universities. One of the great virtues of Cana- dian education is its uniformity of standards. This uniformity is made possible by our high school systems. The courses of all secondary schools are divided into upper and lower school work. Art, biology, physical geography, spelling, writing, reading, and arithmatic must be passed before the student is allowed to proceed with upper school work. The upper school work cannot be: disposed of in single groups of sub- jects, but the entire secondary school course of 12 subjects must be carried through the last two years with pass- ing grades. That is, a failure in any one course requires the repetition of the entire term's work. Thus every, student appr'oaches his final examina- tions on an equal footing with his fel- low students. The final graduation from the upper; school subjects is made under the sup- ervision of the university matricula- tion board. This board is composed of representative heads of the various Canadian universities. It sets, and controls the examinations on the high- er subjects, the passing of which means the graduation from any high school and the entrance into any un- iversity in Canada. Michigan and most American universities accept the pass- ing of these examinations as credits for entrance,.without further examin- ation. MODERN BARBER SHOP 332 Slate St. 1. P WUERTH CO.

Your Floral Needs== Are BEST SA iISFIED By Us PR-ONE 115 Cut Flowers Flowering Plants FLOWERS FOR DECORATION The failure of Canadians to realize that thgre is not this uniformity of educational standards in the United States has led to a loss of respect for American education. The Canadian student who has been unable to pass his matriculation into. Canadian schools is often admitted into Ameri- can colleges. It is the common opin- ion in Canada that $100 will buy al- most any degree in the United States. The Canadians of Michigan are doing their best to demand respect for such institutions as Michigan, but always find it difficult to explain the com- plexity of American standards. Such strict requirements as Can- ada observes may bar many capable- students from professional training, but the advantages of this system ar- gue strongly for a standardization of requirements.
