Oar High Schools.
Thi re is a feeling in some quarters
that itural districts are required to con
tribu a an undue proportion for the
Supp rt of superior education in this
Provi ce; that. the High Schools are
main y for the benefit of the towns and
villag s, and that the people in the
county do not receive an equivalent for
the e ponditure they are required to
male 'n this direction. As is shown
by th returns recently submitted to
the
Tress
opinic
ed, at
the p
oblige
Schools a grant equivalent to the grant
givenby • the Government. There are
High - Schools in. this county.
the returns' referred to we learn
n 1879' the average attendance of
ouncil of this county by the
trers of High School Boards, this
n, in so far as Huron is concern -
least, is entirely erroneous: By
resent law, County Councils are

ddition to the .amounts named
the respective towns, they have
to pay large sums annually in
st for the indebtedness incurred
Ovide the necessary buildings and
ds. For instance, the Goderich
1 cost $10,000, the Clinton school
neighborhood of $5,000, and the
th school about the same. • It
ae plainly seen from. these figures
• hile the rural municipalities get
half the benefit from the High
els, they do not contribute nearly
alf of the ordinary expenditure in -

.d set at rest the opinion that the
Schools are clot availed of by the

dished and maintained mainly in
iterests of the towns and villages.

outsiders, but still,. we think it cannot
be enied that they pay liberally
for .any advantages they derive from
havi fig the schools located so conveni-
en ,i to them. So that if there is an
ineq ality at all, it is in favor of 'in-
stca 1 of against the rural' districts, as
cont.tided by some.
Wil must say that we were somewhat
Burp ised and very much gratified to
lear that the advantages afforded by
thos-schoore being so generally
avai :d of by country students. We see
no s. t bstantial reason why the son or
dauehter of a farmer should not receive
a Hi- h School training as well as, the

calling. If a liberal education is
od thing, and there are few now
ispute that it is, there i no rea-
• by it should not be urned to
able advantage on the farm as
as in the' 'counting. house or the
shop. Wo hope, therefore, that
dvantages of securing a superior
education afforded by these schools will
be •• uch. more generally availed of by
the ons and daughters- of farmers in
the 'uture than: they have been in the
past. and that instead of having' only
three High- Schools in a large and
pope bus county such as this is, they
will be within easy reach of every
family, and that the support they re-
quiru will not be grudgingly given.

A few weeks ago we published ex-

ingloth "sides of politics, showing that
thei migration to that Province this
seas n is not nearly up to expectations,
and that many who did go to the Pro -
vine tO settle there aro leaving it for
. Dak to and Minnesota ; also that the
Ian regulations and general mismar-
agement of the Dominion Government
are ~eaponsible for this state of affairs.
