daily attendance was ments for edication out of the public treas- ury amounted to $108,081.85; wh le last year the attendance was 12,978 aud the eost $128,662.56—a decrease of 181 as to attendance and an increase of $20,571 as to cest. In 1896 the atteadance was 13,412,

and the cost $124,048.30; or nearly $4,000

less than Jast year. With these fizures before them and with other evidence that ite tendencies in con- nectton with our schools are all in

the wroog direction, the Government dia nothing but inflict flagrant injustice upcn the ablest and bestgfour teachers. In the course of tbe budget speech of last year, the Hon. A. B. Warburton called attention to the fact that there are in thie Province 23 schools with a daily average attendance o- less than ten scholars, 83 schools with a daily average of from ten to fifteen schol- ars, and 74 schools with adaily average of

teachers who have 40 aod 50 and 60 pupils each, the average number of pupils per teacher, throughout the Province, is the low figure of 224. The cflicial reports show that teachers are increasing and pupil: decreasing,—the attendance is les- We believe that this is due for the most part to the fact that the Liberal Government has pro-~ stituted our echool system to its party pur- Schoole have been established where no schools ought to be for the politicial ends of an unscrapulus admin-~

Certainly, if the Goverr- ment will not enquire into the matter and institute the reform tiat is nceJed, an ia- dependent commission ought to be appointed to investigate and report to the Legislature and to a very deeply in‘erested public. Looking at the amoun!e: <0 j aid to teachers it is impossible for any intelli- gent map to conclude otherwise thao that reduction of salaries must be at the ex- pense of educational efficiency. Teachers receiving $130 a year, $180 5 year, ur even $225 or $366 & year Gannot be ex, ected to do good work if these meAgre salaries are cat down.
