Tlie Inspector-General of Stihools presented a return to the Education Commiasicn in Wellington yesterday, which showed tlwt the cc-st of edueaition in the Dominion had nearly doubled during tho last twelve years. This- is a matter while'-, must create 'some I'jr.ieaisincas in iihe .minds of the [people. The fact that tlie coat lias iiiiK\reui-jed enormously is probably due ito itjlie facilities offered duiting the last few yoan-s for obtaining technical and E-econdairy education.
