They are Welcome reminders of the hosts of young people Who are taking advantage of their educational opportunities. In the rapidly changing conditions of this era, education has become imperative. It is important for many reasons. It helps us to under- stand the complex World in which We live and to appreciate its varied cultures. It ensures greater economic opportunity. Choice of occupa- tions and subsequent promotions are limited for those who are ill-prepared scholastically. Nowhere are these facts more appreciated than among the Indian peoples of this country, whose children are attending schools in greatly increased numbers. In the last ten years, enrollment of Indian pupils has increased by more than sixty per cent. What is particularly hearten- ing also is the large number of Indian students attending non-Indian schools and the friendly Way in which pupils of these institutions have received them. The volume which the students of Westdale Secondary School have prepared will have a continuing interest for you. In the years to come, it may give you even greater pleasure, recalling to your mind old times and old associations. I am happy, indeed, to have this opportunity to extend my greetings. I congratulate you on your endeavour and Wish you abundant success. 5
