Snroat-8 has paid already because our profiteer has already discounted the paper at the Donttnion Treasury. Meanwhile the "protected" home market pays the top price—a stiffer price than Europe pays—for the leavings after the ex- port trade is satisfied. This explains why a country of eight million people like Canada pays raore for meat than a court* of forty-four inillion people like Great Britain although Canada has only a million less cattle to draw on for its Much smaller population. One would almost expect these cattle to come begging to be eaten at any price but Flavelle takes care that that does not happen. These • "credits" are the weirdest kind of finance, particularly when you consider that they must be paid—if they ever are paid—in goods which are fined 35 per tent. for entering this country. So long as Flavelle arid his crowd get this sort of help from the Government the consumer will find that the only way to reduce the high cost of living is to consume himself. But even here he is up against it for Mr. Rowell would probably head him: off with law against suicide on the instalment plan.

Rev. Mr. Boyle, in the order hi which the names were read, made a short and fitting reference to the life and his personal touch with each. thedbeneflt derived, yet they are un- willing to commit themselves to a consolidatedschool system, fearing that the praject will be even more- -expensive and their successful opera= tion beyond the pbwers of school sec- tions in this country. Such, however) is not the case, It is true the cost, of building and maintaining a consoli- date school would be considerable but this cost has not to be borne entirely by the sections interested. For the provision and. up keep of the vans, necessary for the conveyance of pupils to and from the school, one of the large expense iteme, the Government pays twenty Per cent. They also pay a bonus of $800 for each school build- ing effected by the consolidation, the 'section also receiving the disposal price of thei property, and for the first ten coesolidated schools organiz- ed in the provinde the Government will, give $1,500 to each. At the present only four applicationshave been made Ifor this grant, so that Tuckersmith, and Mullett still have a chance to seCure -this _aid, should they decide to erect a consolidated wheel, but they will have to make a decision very soon ink many other counties in the province are taking up the matter very seriously at the present time' The Government grant to a consolidt ated school in the section proposed, would be therefore, $4,700- plus twenty. per cent. of the cost. and up keep of the neceesay transportation vane. The cost of a school -of this kind would be very littlelmore- to the ratepayers than ,the present school tax, while the benefits derived would be im- measurably nore. Consolidated schools are new to s country, perhaps, but they have - ben tried and found to work and work well in the West and in the States and if once put in opera- tion here would be equally 'successful.
