S The more education the Individual can secure, the better and m ore Intel ligent a cltlaen he ought to bo. Our Qovornuivnt has recognised the fact that an Ignorant cltisen Is a danger to th « commonwealth, and In order to avoid the peril of Ignorant and un trained leadership, has established u system of public education for every child which Is the envy of other na tions which do not enjoy »nth p rivi lege. -Very wisely the education of every child lias been made compulsory, and attendance upon acltool privilege« either In public or private school Is required by legal euaciinent.
