In a pamphlet by your Reveresoe, entitled

piling the Ie.:owing statistics s1) the sources of

mear se the Legislative School Grant is accord-
ance with the 4th armies of the C.mmo. ('School
act thea is aper•ties.
I shall rely compare on or two first as the
list with Heves. Aec.vdisg to your showing
the Easters District is 1841 committed 29.993
ishabi tants, the Ottawa 7,956, tie Hama 11,740.

1844 12,023 2,425 9,149
1843 12,459 2,697 -3,043
According to the above the proportionate share
which the Huron District was emitted to receive
is 1E45 would range thus, if the Easters with
29,993 inhabitants received £1369, what shook'
the Huron be entitled to with 11,7401 or if the
Ottawa I'itb 7,956 received £335, what Auk!
the Huron with I1,740?
You ante that if I tam to your printed report
for 1845-6, I wS11 see that ample justice has bees
don to Huron is 1847, this I admit of accooling
to the trio if children of school age in each dis-
trict, sod., which of itself ip 'efficient to .how
that we hare not been dealt fairly with, for al-
thosgk we decreased in our portion of doe school
gator front 1845 to 184; we i•ereased is '47
seedy a third over '46 ; Mos stare that the nom -
bet of children of school age in 1944 is Huron,
wee 1771. la Opaw., 3043, this does set eor-
re'pond with your printed report noes rokrr.d
to, and must assuredly be a mistake, a. 3043 is
the identical number reported for the Hera in
1645. It is, therefore, uereasoo.ble to oppose
that in one year we increased over 40 per net.,
while the Ottawa decreased within the same
time over 20 per test as stated is your kite",
compared with the printed reports.
- It ie, therefore, evident that the Horn Dis-
trict from some cause, hes bees deprived of be-
tweea three and four Misdeed pounds et its legal
rights io tie years 1845 and 1846 ; and probably
ors proportionate .bars is 1843.4. As ae, of
the representatives of the Huron District is Dis-
trict Courted es bt ballad the i•habitamta of this
