MODERN EDUCATION.

WHERE CASH CALCULA. TIONS FAIL,

TIVE CHINA MAIL

Speaking at the Manchester Rotary Club on the question "Does the nation obtain adequate return for its expenditure on public education?" Mr. Spurley Hey, director of education for Man- chester, marshalled such facts and figures and made to powerful an appeal for a right consideration of the subject in all its aspects that several members of the company who are interested, in education work rose at the end and declared

the address to be one of the most remarkable on the subject they had ever heard..

MASKED BALLS.

DOUGLAS, CASE.

SUCCESSFUL TRICKS IN VIEWS OF HIS COUNSEL'S

SPEECH. PRESERVING INCOGNITO.

Organising a 1,000-gacst dance, when the dancers are drawn, from qne world-of the theatre, of urt, of Society-is comparatively simple. But when the guests run into 3,000! or 4,000 and anyone may come who cones to pay two or three guinces for a ticket, the undertaking bristles with difficulties...

Expenses may rm into £5,000. Everything depends on the chance sale of ticket. It is hard to satisfy everyone in the huge crowd, and harder still to keep people aroused from ten to three.

The fun flags in the vast ball, an where few people know one other; and surprise spectacles, mid- night punch-bowls, carival toys, fail to stimulate.

Mr. Spurley Hey said the cost of elementary education for the present year would be about £60,000,000, and the public had a right to ask what value the nation was getting for so great an outlay. Especially had it a right to ask that question when it was consider- ed bow tremendous" an increase In the cost of education there had been since fifty years ago, and So smaller dances are the order even since eight years ago.

Of the £roo, on the Government present basis the found £55 and the local authority £45. He emphasised that that was the expenditure on a child's elementary education spread over eriod of nine years, and went on to say that with regard to the increase in the cost of education no useful comparison could be made between fifty years ago and the present day. To-day we had between eight thousand and nine thousand council schools. In 1870 there were no such schools, no school medical services, and vir tually no school for afflicted chil dren.

The question to which people might well direct their attention, Mr. Spurley Hey proceeded, was "Can we get what we are getting at a less cost than now?" He was very suspicious of the man or the woman who was prepared to give or "no" a categorical reply "yes to that question. He believed that framy wa it must remain a matter of opinion and he should be very much better pleased and satisfied if the expres sion of opinion on that matter were left to those who knew both sides. of the question.
