GUEST ' EDITORIAL There has been a lot of talk about unemployment in Canada during the past winter, and a lot of people have been examining the situation. One fact has emerged from all the argument and discussion] I think it has emerged with absolute clarity. A great many people who are unemployed today are out of work because they lack the edu¬ cation and the training to hold a job. The world is changing at a breathless pace. There is less and less room in it for the unskilled and the uneducated] and as time goes on, higher and higher levels of skill will be required from everybody employed in industry. From the end of the Second World War until a year or two ago, it was possible for teen-agers to quit school early, get them¬ selves some sort of a job in man-hungry industry, and go on earning a living without concerning themselves further about their education. But now they face an uncharitable world which is less and less interested in employees with a grade VII or VIII education. Thousands of them doubtless wish they had resisted the temptation to earn easy money when they were 16 or 17 years old] but it is too late. They must look forward to a life in which only a miracle can give them another chance. It is, doubtless, still possible to leave school early and find some kind of a wage-earning job. It may look attractive at first but it is the deadliest kind of dead end. Don ' t be lured into it. Basil Dean, Vice President and Publisher, THE CALGARY HERALD
