With particular reference to the crisis fucing universities, he points out that from now until 1865 the number. of Canadian pupils reaching the age of 18 will rise slightly, After that there will be a rapid and unprecedented increase and with it will eome a greater demand for higher education as the requirements of commerce, indus: try, government and the professions for persons with training beyond secondary school become more pressing, Agpravating the situation further is the grow- ing difficulty in obtaining instructors, Mr. Smith points out that the University of Toronto pays the highest salaries of any Canadian university but that its rates, and inereuses do not stand compari- son with thoxe oY commerce, industry or govern- ment service, or with mast professional incomes. He cites the instance of one young man Ww itha Ph.D “who was receiving $3,800 ina junior position on the staff and was approach hed by an inc ustry with an vifer of $7,000, with assurances that in a year or two his salary would be increased to $10, 000, Upon beine asked by the young man for his advice, Mr. Smith was forced to admit he should take the other post where he would find work that he liked and where he would receive remuneration that would not be equalled at the university for many years. Ay a result of numerous such cases, universities are obliged to depend heavily on part-time instruc: tors whieh, while valuable in their way, cannot com- pare with those who devote their full-time service to teaching, In fairness to those applying for university work, Mr. Smith adds they are often more interest- vd in the facilities for teaching ‘and research than they are in monetary reward, Yet the financial demands of living today area factor which must be taken closely into account. It is a problem for which Mr. Smith does not profess to have e an answer and itis unlikely that Yet the matter can- Hot be shrugged off as “hopeless, Good. educational ne ir oblem should be explor' ed to the full and, if neces- one will-be found in'a-hurry. facilities are essential to Canada’s progress sary, a royal commission appointed to do it.
