Rise of Australia

Chapter 39 Newspaper Publishing
On September 1900, 9, the streets of Sydney.

On this day, David Collis was walking on his way to get off work as usual.As an ordinary person with little ability, David Collis was lucky to be screened by the Sydney police and was hired.

Although it is only in the training stage now, he can still have a salary of more than two pounds a month to support his family.

Being able to get this job makes David Collis very satisfied, so he is full of energy every day and full of passion in training.

Passing by a newsstand, David Collis glanced at the booth instinctively. It was just a casual glance, but he did not expect that all the newsstands were filled with the same newspaper, and there was an advertisement next to it. The sign said that His Highness has issued a new policy.

Wait, Your Highness?
Davy Collis stepped back in doubt, grabbed a newspaper, took out a penny under the staring gaze of the newsstand owner, and handed it to him.

Holding the newspaper, David Collis had long lost his previous calm expression. Although he was still walking on the road, his eyes were fixed on the newspaper, as if he wanted to spy on the whole of the newspaper.

Finally, after traveling for more than ten minutes, David Collis finally rushed home.

This is a house located on the outskirts of Sydney. Although the house looks a bit dilapidated, after being decorated with simple flowers and plants by the David Colliss family, it can still reflect a bit of warmth.

"David!" After hearing the voice, David Collis's wife came out first, handed a glass of water with a smile, and then said: "How is your training today? Your officer shouldn't make things difficult for you, right?" ?”

"Hahaha, how could it be? Today's training went well, and the boss also gave me this month's salary. Look, it's a whole two pounds, five shillings and three pence!" David Colliss smiled and said Passing his salary to his wife, he said.

"Oh! Thank God, you can have such a good job, and the food you received is enough for us to have a comfortable New Year." David Collis's wife took Dai Wei's salary, said gratefully.

"You should thank Your Highness, Emily. If it weren't for Your Highness, you wouldn't be able to receive so much free food, and I wouldn't be able to find a job with such a high salary." David Collis interrupted in time I corrected my wife's wrong statement.

"Oh, yes, please forgive me." Emily also corrected her mistake in time, and said to her husband with an apologetic expression.

"Okay, Emily. Go and prepare dinner. I want to take a good look at this newspaper. It is said that His Highness has issued a new policy." David Collis picked up the newspaper he was thinking about, and ordered to his wife. .

As the newspapers in each state were integrated into one by Arthur, the originally chaotic and inconsistent newspaper industry in Australia was basically controlled by Arthur.

At present, there are two major newspapers in Australia, the Australian Daily, which focuses on life and entertainment, and the Victoria News, which focuses on political news.

Although the two newspapers are responsible for their own fields on a daily basis, when the government and the royal family have important policies and announcements, they will print important news together.

The paper David Colliss had today was the Victorian News.But because it is a special day, no matter which newspaper prints the content is the same.

Picking up the newspaper, there was a very conspicuous headline on the front, impressively writing His Royal Highness Arthur's education policy.

When it came to education, David Collis's heart, which he had already attached great importance to, became even more important. He quickly concentrated and began to read the news without missing a word.

The content of the news is actually very simple. Generally speaking, it is Arthur's several education reforms and corresponding welfare policies.

Not only the previously negotiated university enrollment, in order to improve the basic education environment in Australia, Arthur will also invest at least 200 million pounds per year for a period of ten years, encouraging all Australian families to send school-age children to school for study.

To this end, the royal family will pay at least 40.00% of the tuition fees for each child, and all tuition fees and tuition and miscellaneous fees can be waived for children with good performance.

In order to take care of poorer families, Arthur promised to lend funds to students from poor families in the form of interest-free loans to meet their learning needs.

And all schools across the country have established scholarships, and the number of places is about [-]% of the total number of schools.

Under various policies, a large number of discounts have been given to students in basic education and advanced education, and the problem of wanting to go to school but having no money to go to school has basically been eliminated.

It is conceivable that the new round of enrollment in Australian schools will be full, especially basic education, which does not cost much, will definitely have a large number of students.

Although most Australians are poor, they have immigrated from Europe anyway and know the importance of education, especially basic education.

Once these people have a choice, they will also choose to let their offspring have a good education, at least not one step behind others on the starting line.

"Oh! Emily! Emily! Come here!" Seeing this, David Collis became a little restless, and quickly called his wife.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Emily hurried over and asked in surprise to her husband who made a fuss.

"Damn it, look at this, Emily. His Highness wants to invest money to improve education, so our children can enter school!" David Collis said excitedly.

"Where is there?" Emily also came up and looked around.

"The royal family promises to pay 70.00% of the tuition fees, and the remaining 30.00% can also be paid on their behalf, and will be repaid after graduation?" Emily read word by word, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"A scholarship is established at the Australian National University, and at least [-] students with outstanding moral character will be selected every year, and a scholarship of at least ten pounds will be awarded?" After reading this, Emily couldn't calm down, and asked in disbelief: "My God,
David, these student scholarships are almost half your annual income.Doesn't this mean that going to college not only costs nothing, but can also make money? "

"Yes, dear. Not only is Rick's university settled, but we may not need to spend money!" David Collis nodded heavily, and said to his wife.

Rick Collis is the only son and proud son of David Collis and wife Emily.

Rick Collis, who is only 19 years old, is already a high school graduate that everyone envies, but because his family can't afford the expensive college fees, he has no choice but to give up.

But now it seems that Rick still has hope of going to college, even without spending money.
