BABYLON’S NEW SUBURBS

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

NEWFOUNDLAND has adopted the system urged by Catholics in this country and divided its school money among the religious denominations in proportion to their numbers. The total sum is $96,065. Of this, again divided, the church of England’s share will be $32,138, the Methodists’ $24,488, while something over $1,000 goes to other sects, the Baptists getting the least, their share being only $29.
