Simpson (Liberal, Simcoe Centre) asked if the date of summer examinaions was a matter of legisla-- tion or regulaion, and was informed that it was set by regulation. than 6 years old to the commence-- ment of the school year. The Liberal Whip argued tha this would not be advantageous in the rural districts, but the Premier said that the measurc would prevent the upsetting of school operation, and was only permissive. The lengthy amendment, further eomplicated by the omission of the intermediate--school _ clauses, finally aroused Opposition comment when In notifying the House of his changes in the 1934 School Law Amendment Act, the Promier men-- tioned the existence of "so much mis-- conception" when he asked permission to withdraw the intermediate school clauses. The department has been consider-- ing the intermediate school for some time, the Premier informed the House. That the work would go on was indi-- cated by his intimation that it may be necessary for the department to give some assistance to one school, which may be regarded as an experi« ment. One Clause Protested. Because of controversy created by the proposal, said Mr. Henry, he was eliminating from the measure all ref-- erence to intermediate schools. The plan had been that the new institu-- tions would provide for the education of scholars from the senior grades o' public schools and the junior grades of high schools, and would prepare them for all walks of life other than the professions and those requiring university training. 'The proposals aroused intense opposition, in that they were held to permit Separate School Boards to establish high schools. Intermediate schooilis, longz--cherished project of Premier Henry in his role of Minister of Education, must await at least another year for organization, the Legislature was informed by the Prime Minister yesterday when his ESchool Act amendments reached the committee stage.
