To meet the pi es- ent advanced condition of the public schools would require an additional appropriation for school purposes of 81%.000. This explanation of the school appropriations was given to show the unfair and misleading nature of statements made and published by the Liberal party. who try to con'vey the idea that grants to public schools have been reduced by 28 per bent: while the grant to separate schools is paid 1n full. The appropriations dur- ing the nine years have been increasedl $340 000 annually. The divisions of ' the whole appropriation are based on the respective populations, and grant- ed on fulfilment of required conditions. The separate schools have not met the conditions. and conseq-ently have not received in any year the full amsnnt of their share of the whole apprOpri- ation. The public schools have met the requirements and have overrun the conditions to such a degree that their share of the whole appropKati'on will not pay the full amount earned. 5 On rising Mr. Hanna was greeted i with a prolonged ovation. a fitting in- ‘ trodnction to the acknowledged anility of one of the ablest an-i best states- "men of the provmce. After a few in- ; trodnctory remarks the speaker re- ; fer-red with pleasure to himself and the ’ audience of the improved condition of : Premier \Vhitney’s' health, which, 3 he pronounced to be better at l the present time than at any time for up wards of h’ ve years. He denounced the misrepresenta- l lions of the Liberal party who try to convey the idea of a still weak- . ened condition with no chance of , again ei terin; public life and leading _ the (Jouseivative party with his form- } er vigor. He predicted many years of {his old time energy and the happy ’5 prediction was received with llililllflythl ' pleasure by every Conservative in the large audience 4...”.- ~ o‘â€" â€" â€"o-â€"â€"-.- Mr. Hanna Went on to show the vast increase in public school grants since the adv‘ent of the Guns. rvative party. \Vhen they assumed the‘reins of government in 1905, the appropria- tion for public schools was only about $60,000 a year. This was soon increas- ed to $140,000 and continued to in- crease until the present fixedappro- px-iaeion is now $400,000. This is di- vid'ed according to population amongst the separate and public schools, the former being about seven per cent. for which 328.000 is set aside and given on fulfilment of the conditions regarding the teachers’ qualifications, school equipment and othermatters as shown in the regulations. If these conditions are fully complied with the whole ap- prOpI-iation is given over to the schools; and if not the unearned balance re» verbs annually to the government. .Of ‘ the $28 000 to go to separate schools‘ not more than half the amount was earned during part of the. period, and they have always been paid in full with a balance to go back to the gov- ernment. ~ ex-ship uf Sir James \Vhitney.
