Manawatu Standard (PUBLISHED DAILY.) The Oldest Daily Newspaper on the West Coast. TUESDAY JUNE 23, 1885. STATE EDUCATION.
O--The cost to the State of education m iNew South Wales, including that of school premises, has averaged £1 10s lOd per head for the last four years, and if the interest on loans for educational purposes were added, it would come for the lact year to about i? 8 per head. The percentage of. attendance was very unsatisfactory, there being 250,000 m the colony of school age, and only 167,000 m attendance. Nearly three-quarters of a million of money was expended m teaching about two-thirds of the children for whom the schools were brought into existence. Without the aid of the State, fully as satisfactory results would have been attained educationally, .and infinitely higher morally and socially, for about one-fourth the cost. The balance which is chiefly expended on State machinery would thus have been available for other purposes. The same may be said, to a greater or lesser extent, of every national education system m the world.
