A very pretty light Is being cavris,l an In Toronto between the politi,.Aulls , and the educatioulsts, It Is un- fortunate that in our up-to-date and practical Caus4a, so mvilly men recArd ,education taxes as money -thrown away. As a consequence they re- gard the school ,rate as a means of popularity, so that by reducing 4t they might win votes. Every penny put Into ,education is an invo-vtmerit more renaulierative than any other. It Is the intelligent people of the coun- try who have to pay the taxev, and -the more there'are Of them the , slighter will. be the burden. The Un- educated contribute nothing to the taxes, but are a source of expense to every community. Toronto has the cheapest Cost per pupil Of any City Of It size on the contineut, but 'Mayor Church is anxious to curtail expendi- ture and desires, to possess authority over the school board In.order to be able to, cut'the School estimates. This policy appeals to the Ignorant but not to those,who und-Arstand. It has been , .. coutelided that the School estimates have. about douliled,.'but they lie.ve not Increased so Much 'proportionately , as the general taxesi and the Eduea- I tion Act requires $,it expenditure -equal to much greater sums than tile Tor- onto Board has expended.
