The late debate in the British par
Lament on the Indian budget re-

client claim put forward by the ad

which is governed largely by philan-
thropic motives refused to appro-
PIRATE penny for their relief. 1t
appears that these families have
been increasing in intensity. Lord

$40, on account Of transfers OF
school persons from the township to
the town. Formerly the transfer
expense was met by the heads of
families whose children were trans
ferred, but by the act Of the last
Legislature, it must now be paid by
the Trustee from the special school
revenue-so that all citizens in the
township are taxed to meet it,
whether they transfer or not. Trus-
tee Schuler hadn't the special school
funds on hand to spare that amount,
and asks the advisory board for an
increase of special school tax on
that account. That legislation was
certainly designed to favor the gen.
orally better schools in towns, as it
costs parents no more to send to
them than it does to the country
schools.
