Why

A
state
ment

shows
in
detail
the
amount
of
money
estimated
to
pass
through
the
Education
Department
during
the
year
ending
March

1932.
This
amount
Is
looked
upon
by
manypeople
of
the
province
a
be
ing
a
government
expenditure
and,
as
such,
excessive.
On
examination
it
will
be
seen
that
very
little
of
it
is
government
expenditure
in
the
proper
sense,
as
$98
out
of
every
$100
is
used
in

tional

and
in

Ing

services
that
the
people
would
otherwise
have
to
do
without
or
provide

themselves.
If
this
department
is
to
reduce
Its
expenditure
to
any
appreciable
amount,
the
educational
services
such
as
correspondence
instruction
to

and
the

must
be
curtailed.
In
addition,
the
cash
grants
to
municipalities,
rural
school
districts,
the
university,
etc.,
must
be
curtailed.
Letters
have
been
sent
out
to

boards,
notifying
them
of
the
reduction
of
grants
that
must
be
made
In

to
reduce
the
expenditure
of
the
department
Present
grants
to
the
rural

will
be
continued
to
the
end
of
June,
as
these

have
already
made
provision

to
that
date.
During
the
eorrilng
session
the
amount
of
re

in

will
be
definitely
decided
upon,
so
that
the

will
know
before

exactly
what
