When .we f1nancially~,con- sider thefamount it would cost to fur-: nis_h'the` `sort of accommodation that. lwould be nece`ssary-sto convey the. children, to and from school this alone would cost the township more than _i_t would take to pay two teachers.

All would have to. be Normal-trained teachers, holding first and second-class certificates." This was looked `upon by`; the ratepayers as" one of, the best means of securing a better and `Higher grade or education in our `rural schools than we have had in the past. I think the fundamental subjects-'-those which are essentlaitor either man or woman to go out in the world and make :1 liv- ~ing-are not taught to as high a degree of _efi .iciency in our public st-hoolsj today as they were forty-five and fifty years ago.

I see no remedy to improve the present- situation other than for the rural ,peo- ple to build `continuation schools` in. ,t11eir own townships at c onvenient| points, "post to be borne` by the muni-Q cipalit-y and government.
