Rcnwig, the amount is comparatively rruiiny in cous- panson. Yet iur till:; trivial Consideration iz is suggested we suouiu set aJde t ;l best schools, Dest in structure, 111 equipment and in curriculum, ior tne use 01 ciiiiuren whose parents will pay sixpence or to a week, and deny those advan- tages to children wnose parents have alreaoy too much to do with tneir sixpences. One would sup- pose that the schoois rcierred to were receIVillg state aid lor tne hrst time. As a matter 01 fact, cney have been bolstered up for yecrs, 'and even now, like otner senoois, they are consent to receive democratic monies, without observing de necravic | conditions.

We may be quite •rue that tne children of degraded parents will vti l tioek to thcw schoois where they wiil ar^rilato If, like your correspondent, 1 may Irie' .lgo in retrospect, let me remind him that :n i. this same battle has been fought out hdor". intellect must have iair play, it ba« thrust open the doors cf colleges and universities, and the nation's roll of honour is thick with ¡:amf!;3 whicn, but for the breaking down of clasfi distinction, would have been lost in oblivion. The gemus cl. intellectual Wales and Scotland is peasant-bem. Education to them was not without i! -) poverty and hunger and its stern endurance of cl;i,g humiliation Now that the doors arc open, let them be "fen widciy, and 1 venture to predict that the laurels will fall to the £ .trcnuous, even ll.eagh they may not ecme from the suburb. or < a bicycles, or even by train from long aer.
