According to~Dr. H. F. MUNRO, Superin- tendent of Education for Nova Scotia the sys-' tenl of rural education there is of “ox-cart date," Because of “gross inequality" in costs and advantages, much depends On where a child is born insofar as his chances for education is concerned. In one section of Nova Scotia, a fine agricultural area, the school tax rate is 6o cents on $100, In another, much poorer, the rate is $7.10 on $100.
