Article using data acquired by questionnaire to compare the value orientations of French and English students in Canada. Presented by the author in the context of perceived cultural change in Quebec during the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. A comparison of the author's case-study analyses with results from a model developed earlier by social scientists Richer and Laporte. Differences in choice-making tendencies between both groups of students as related to cultural and linguistics chracteristics outlined by the author. Reprinted from a presentation made at the ACSUS Conference on Canadian Studies, The North in North America, Austin, Texas, March 27-30, 1974.

From the author: "Grade four students in an English school and a French school in a Quebec community were examined for differences in value orientations. Although, in fact, the two schools are very near each other, the children reflect the distance in cultural orientations towards the future, their goals and interpersonal relations."
