It is essen­ tial that our citizens see very clearly the issues thus raised, so that they may be guided by a calm and thoughtful consideration of the place of public expenditures in our society. The wi.sh of education everywhere is not to confuse these issues with a mass of sentimental verbiage, not to defend all educational costs merely because they are educational costs, J but to place the facts of the- case be- I fore the people, so that a sound pol- ' icy can be foimulated. I In the first place, a definite stand I must be taken against those persons, | mostly representing the propertied ’ classes, who attack all public expend- 1 itures indiscriminately. These per- sons seem to fell that all taxes are I evil, and that, government spending is evil also,’ since it must be based on taxation. This point of view is en­ tirely irrational. In a modern society certain services must be provided by governments: they are essential and cannot be provided effectively in any other way. After all, no one would willingly return to the days when roads were provided by private enter- I prise ,when no precautions were tak­ en against disease, and when schools 1 were provided for only a few children of well-to-do parents. These things, and many others, must be under the control of govern­ ments and thus be supported by tax­ es. No doubt much public money has been spent extravagantly, but to at­ tack public spending as wrong in it­ self is absurd and unreasonable. We should insist that persons entrusted with the spending of the people’s money do so honestly and prudently and that they be inspired always by a sense of stewardship, but we shall not serve our country well by insist­ ing on a blin’d retrenchment which will cripple essential services. It is strange, too, that the very per­ sons who look with disfavour on pub- I lie expenditures for the social serv­ ices, advocate greatly increased ex­ penditures on armament. They wish Canada to have a great air force, but they scorn the idea of any increase of educational expenditures. And yet a modern democratic school system, planned with idealism and administ­ ered with enlightenment, is not mere­ ly the best, but the only, defence that Canada has againSt the ignorance, bi­ gotry and intolerance which are much more likely to enslave her people $7,039,091,538 Of this total, less than $230,000,000 or 3,1 per cent., was for schools, One of the chief problems of Canadian public finance in recent years has been the heavy burden of fixed charges, due to debenture debt, but these figures show that almost none of the blame for this situation is to be laid at the door of our schools. The Canada Year Book gives the Ontario provincial debt in 1936 as $520,000,000, the total municipal debt in 1935 as $461,653,0000. Thus the school debt of about $80,000,000 is about 8% of the total, 17% of the municipal debt. Now no one can deny that the school debt is not a sizeable amount, worthy of careful consider­ ation, but it is obviously not very large compared with debts for other purposes. Somewhat the same conclusions emerge from a consideration of ex­ penditures. Consider, for example, ,the following: Public Expenditures for all purposes 1936 Canada (Dom., Prov. - and Mun.) ..................$1,180,227,500 Ontario (Prov. and iMun.) ........................ Ontario (Municipal) ... Expenditures % for Schools * Canada (Dom., Prov. and Mun.) .....$116,621,781 Ontario (Prov. and Mun.) .............. Ontario (Mun.) ...... (!|!—not including private schools). The table points roots of the trouble, public expenditures cational costs are not high, but rela­ tive to municipal expenditures, costs are substantial. That is, although these costs are not excessive, they are borne largely by taxation on local real estate and this is what the focal taxpayer means when he says that the cost of education is unduly bur­ densome. Actually, the Province of Ontario secures the education of over 675,000 children at a cost of about $13.70 per person, but of this sum only $1.35 comes from the provincial treasury. The increase of this provincial grant would mean a lessening of the bur­ den on real estate and a more equit­ able sharing of the cost of school's. The Minister of Education has been steadily moving in this direction, announced that increases in grants will be in effect during coming year. Every tendency -in direction should be encouraged, the problems of educational finanace are to be solved not by cutting school budgets which in many cases have already been pared to the bone, but ,by redistributing the cost so that it will be fairly shared by all oufi peo­ ple in proportion to their ability to pay. cups water Soak night, slightly brown, and cook slowly for fifteen minutes.
