The speaker felt that be- cause of larger farms and better transportation the school. sections to- d•,ay should be larger titan when they were laid out i$lfty years ago. He said that in Scotland 35 school boards administer the education for five mil- lion people, whereas in Ontario, us. der :the present system, we require 6,500 boards foil" three and a half mil- lion people. He cited that the larger school area can have a better equip- ped school, provide a better teacher and give. the children a better social education at a lower cost to the rate- payers. He thought that we should urge the Government to pay a large enough grant that the country school teacher could be as well paid as the urban teacher. ,.• • •• It was felt that Mr. Kinkaid had brought a better understanding of what our schools are endeavoring. to, do for the country through the edu- cation of its young citizens.
