Total.........:..%.. $126,957 or that, of the total legislative as-- sistance to rural public and separate Bchools of $1,645,916, the sum of $1,565,167 or 95 per cent. is based upon salaries and qualifications of teachers, things which the wealthy can easily provide, but which are almost -- prohibitive to the poor. Now, while 95 per cent. of our total legislative grants are supposed to be based upon salaries and qualif-- cations of teachers, showing the importance of these things, yet in their distribution let me point out how this Government has discrimin-- ated so unfairly against the public schools of this Province. '"'The figures submitted by the Minister of Education," he stated, '"'in answer to questions placed upon the order paper, prove that the Government had dealt most unfair-- ly with our public school system in this Province. «We find from these figures that the total grants to rural public and separate schools are as follows: Alleges Discrimination.

"I am quite well aware that the Government are the victims of cir-- cumstances, to a certain extent, in dealing with legislation over half a century old, but there is a remedy for this condition, a remedy which would be acceptable both to public and separate school authorities.
