The am-‘ ount of money paid nearly always in' the long run determines the qualitv and quantity of work given, and the §quantity and quality or work done in the Public schools certainly would ‘ have a tren'xendous influence on the1 country. The future of Ontario de- pends on its bays and girls and unless the school system does its part the result will not be good.
