by Rohan L. Jayetilleke On June 2, 1944 C.W.W. Kannangara, Minister of Education of the Board
of Ministers of the State Council moving the 'Free Education Bill
'declared; "Sir, it was the boast of the great Augustus that he found
Rome of brick and left it of marble, How much nobler will be the state of
the State Council boast when he shall be able to say that we found
education dear and left it cheap, that we found it a sealed book and left
it an open letter, that we found it the patrimony of the rich and left it
the inheritance of the poor" (Hansard 1944 pp 916-46). Other Stories
