We should realize that public funds make provision for our modern buildings, their furnishings and the grounds on which they stand. After the cost of construction comes the maintenance, and when we take into account the caretakers, the repairs, water, gas, electricity and the many other supplies we can realize somewhat the extent of the work, the time and money which is expended on us. The sum of the annual salaries of teachers and instructors would probably astonish most of us. We can understand by reflecting on the cost of this vast endeavour how great a burden our citizens bear so that we may be educated prop- erly. At present our public and collegiate schools open the way to all culture for every student disposed to pursue learning. In addition, we are given time and support to enable us to take advantage of this tuition. If we wish to discover just how fortunate we are to be given this opportunity to develop our abilities. we need only to compare ourselves to one who must leave school and go to work at an early age. Our days do not become tedious nor monotonous. At Malvern we have a very short school day, with frequent changes and varia- tions: we have several courses to choose from and are not forced by necessity to enter into something we dislike. This is only one example of the advantages we enjoy which one who has to begin earning his living without a fair education is deprived of. That is one side of the question-the parents' and the taxpayers'. We shall consider our part. In the first place, we are too easily satis- fied to take the matter for granted. Secondly, we are not always fair to ourselves. In return for these grants we should be consistent in our regularity and punctuality: our future depends on the founda- tion which we are now building and we should be only too eager to gain as much knowledge as possible while the time and place permits. The universality of education to-day as an integral part of the upbringing of youth embraces a field that far surpasses any earlier system and seeks to provide for the needs of our future. Moral train- ing is recognized as being the first aim of education and therefore our schools, especially our public schools, take the responsibility of teach- ing us the fundamentals of good citizenship. Scholarship alone does not command the highest prizes, but when connected with social and tlll
