Abstract	During the 1930s in Canada, the senior levels of government and local agencies initiated educational programs to help people cope with the distress and demoralization resulting from the depression. Programs originated in eleven major areas: technical-vocational education, night schools, relief camps, educational relief measures outside camps, self help, correspondence instruction, provincial recreation, university extension, community drama, library services, and public affairs. For example, in technical and vocational education the government provided aid to technical-vocational education, unemployment and agricultural assistance, and a youth training program. In summary, the depression stimulated an increase in both the amount and the range of adult education. (CSS)
