All the same, it also goes to show what countrymen will put up with. But, it's all so unsystematic, almost casual in the way it comes about.

That the right of a child to a proper education should be made to depend upon an impoverished district's ability to pay or the initiative of some decrepit group of vicarage nomi- nces is just as silly as scandalous, general Yet that's still the method. There's no common standard in practice.
