Hon. Mr MeDonaxp. on rising to move the ;seecond reading of a bill to continue and amend certan acts therein mentioned relating to education. said: ‘This bill was mntrodvecd by the Government with a vies to remedy the defeeta and de fismeneies found to exist in the education Act as at stands A large por- tion ot the rarehers’ aalartes hae te he paieed directly hy the poorle and that yowes dissa- fisfaerion,

Under the present ) Act they have to sign the certificate in the | lpresence of each other, This was tou do to| be a hardship and dificult at times The [increase in the teaelers’ salaries will ental! jan additional exye nditure of about £5 v00 upon the colony ; but the Government have | (Ete that they could pay that amount this | year without increas d taxation, as teey have

Lendeavered to keep the exrenditure as low as ‘possible Dam not prepared to say. however. ithatin another year it may not be necessary to put on additional taxation to keep upour educational system in ag periect a state as | jposstble. Indeed the people at ar y meeting | \L have attended bav- expressed their willing: | ness (o bear seditronal taxation tor this ob

this litigation, and be a benefit to the people | lyenerally In looking over the rey;orts of | Ithe School Visitors, [ find that there are | | nest so many children attending School as there were some veurs ago, and | also ave | that a considerable camber of the schools} Fare closed without any satisfactory reason | jheing ussigned for it. FE think it may be! traced in most cases to the difficalty which | the trustere have experienced in collecting | lor recovering the amount they have to pay | [towards the teaciers’ salaries, Li this Ball i will have the effeet of remedying that evil, and of getting those schools opened again, is wall bave one good effect at leaat. The. jamount paid by the Colo y lust year for! education was £14,400, and with the addi- | | eisomsal expenditure it will probably be £20.- 1000 this year; still we trost that it will not) lancrease the debs of the Colony beyond what It is at present every allowance for a large deficiency in ithe revenue for the axs twelve moaths. | We cunngt expeet it to be so large, because

(the unportations are smatler, and wall be) lematler, as we have very bittle to exoort this i spreng ; yet notwithstanding this, | bohtewe | }the expenditure will be kept within due | }tumits. and mot exeeed the revenue. 1 move | | that the bill be now reada second me, i
