a-COST OF EDUCATION.

The rate-payers of the Province of Quebec, with the help of the
Government provide for the maintenance of their schools. The neces-
sary revenue for their operation is produced by a tax upon the imrnov-
ables of the municipality, the monthly contribution from each child
who should or can attend the public schools and certain contributions
or special taxes. The grants given by the Provincial Legislature are
a rnaterial help to the maintenance of primary schools and superior
and technical teaching. Poor municipaJities are given additional
subsidies.
The rate of the school tax, per hun.dred dollars, varies with the
different municipalities, according to requirements or the landed wealth
of the residents, amounting to more than three dollars in sorne districts
and only a fract'ion of a dollar elsewhere. Figures concerning this are
given in the Finanlial Statement of School Corporations, which is published
every year 1 by the Bureau of Statistics. This booklet supplies full
details concerning each municipality. The school corporations have
the power to seize and sell the real property and effects of the persons
inscribed on the assessment roll in order to recover amounts due.
Table 52 supplies the total of the amounts collected each year to
insure the proper working of the school system of the Province. In
1925, the annual tax amounted to $14,550,464, which was paid by
357,891 proprietors. The number of persons paying a monthly con-
tribution was 145,440 and the estimated value of the taxable immovable
property was $1,758,689,892.
