SCHOOL FEES
PAYING FOR EDUCATION
Commenting on the proposal to raise the secondary school fees in England, “The Times’' says: “Some will regret the change 0 n the ground that cheap and efficent education is one of the mainstays of national stability; and there is no doubt that the effect on the secondary school.population will be carefully watched. It should be remembered, however, that the present fees are extraodinarily low, and that in many cases they have remained stationary while the cost of everything educational has gone steadily up and the standard of education provided has been improved out of all knowledge. Thus the proportion of the expenditure paid by the parent is very much smaller than it .was twenty years ago. The main object to keep in view in organising our secondary education is to get the right pupils and to charge reasonable fees so as not to exclude them by reason of poverty. Difficulties rise from the fact that right and reasonable are not terms of precision; but to the impartial observer it would seem that the chargers proposed in the new circular are steps in the right direction.”
