Abstract
4)and how few arc the countries in which this principle is found carried out.Prince Edward Island may now fairly boast of being the only British Colony in which education is as " free us the water we drink and the air we breathe," and where every child is within reach of a school.The distinguished Superintendant of Public Instruction for Canada West-Dr.Kyerson-wrote in 1850: "We believe scarcely five years will elapse, ere over every schoolhouse door in Upper Canada.will be inscribed the golden motto-' Education for all, without money and without price,' -a motto such as will not only im- part to the Province the most potent element of a people's grandeur and happiness, but attract many a parental and in- telligent immigrant to it as the home of himself and posterity.A school supported by a rate upon the property of all, involves the obligation and certain result of employing a teacher com- petent to teach the children of all, and hence the greater ele- vation and efficiency of the school will correspond to the wider extension of its benefits.***** Under such a system of public instruction, how blessed would Upper Canada be, and how enviable and glorious would she appear in the eyes of civilized nations !What an impulse, what energy, what hope would it impart to many an obscure youth, whose bosom burns with the latent kindlings of genius, or the incipient struggling^ of talent, to feel that the path of knowledge, of distinction, of usefulness is not barred by so much as a single impost ; is a free highway before him !What love, what pride of country would such an educational system create."The hopes thus ardently cherished six years ago, have not yet been realized in the experience of the " Empire Colony," as that Province has been termed.How greatly, then, should the inhabitants of this Colony prize the boon which has been so happily gained for them, and which is still the great desideratum of more powerful and populous countries.The following tabular statement indicates the ratio of the increase of population, as well as that of schools and of child- ren in school attendance, together with the proportion of the latter to the whole population, bearing in mind that our present free school system came iat > operation in the spring of 1853 :-- (5)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
