Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS THURSDAY, JULY 21st, 1921 HIGH SCHOOL BOARDS GIVEN WIDE POWERS UNDER NEW SCHEME, Radical changes in the course of study and examination requirements in continuation schools, high schools and collegiate institutes, are recommended in the report of the special committee appointed by Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of Education, issued by the Department of Education last week. The committee hns been sitting for a year and the changes set forth in the report will be put into effect in the schools in September In effect the principal alteration is that the various districts will be given practically carte blanche to select their own courses of study to suit local requirements. The preface to the report says: "During the period of transition from the old system to the new^it is altogether probable that many difficulties will arise. It may be found that certain allowances will have to be made, particularly in the case of those pupils who have alredy begun their high school course under the former system of organization. Doubtless, in many schools the new scheme can b» adopted at present in its entirety only in the first year classes. The proposed high school course of 5 years has been planned as a continuous and progressive course of five years. For convenience, however, it may at present be referred to as a lower school course of two years, followed by a middle school course of two years and an uppei school course of one year. Certain subjects of study, some obligatory others optional, are proposed foi each of those divisions, with liberty to boards to add other subjects on obtaining the approval of the Min- "It is hoped that by this means individual boards may plan courses of study which will be adapted to the local needs of the community", s the report. It also states that prevent overpressure aYid stimulate effort on the part of the pupils limit has been set to the minimum and maximum number of subjects which a pupil may take, and it will also be possible to take some of the upper school subjects in the second year of the middle school. In the lower school English, Can-adiau history" and civics and physio-graph, algebra and geometery are made obligatory. . Outside of English each of these obligatory studies are for one year and not to run currently. In finishing up any subject the pupil may write on subject for a pass. Arithmetic, grammar, art, geography, botan zoology or agriculture and horticult ure, Latin, French, Greek, Germ Spanish or Italian, manual training, household science, music, bookeeping and penmanship, stenography typewriting are optional. j n each of the two years of the lower school a pupil must take j .....««u uui more mar. eigl subjects altogether. In general th. course which a school wishes to follow w'-l be set by the School Boar, and the optional subjects for each pupil will be chosen by the Principal and the parents of the pupil. For the middle school English literature and composition is obligatory. The optional subjects add physics, chemistry, British or ancient history and household science to the lower school list. Each of the foreign languages, Latin, Greek, French, man, Spanish or Italian, will count as two where the two year course is being covered in one year. The minimum in the middle school for optional subjects is set at four, with the maximum as seven. Where middle school pupils in their fourtn year take any upper school subject it will be treated as a middle school subject in deteimining the maximum number of subjects to be taken. For the upper school no subjects are to be obligatory on all pupils will any maximum or minimum i: ber of subjects be set except by local authorities. The subjects of the upper school are English literature and composition, algebra, geometery, tri gonometry, modern European history, physics, chemistry, biology botany and zoology, Latin Greek, French German, Spanish or Italian and any Additional subjects recommended by "e local authorities and approved by Commerce led#a party of French „;r traders to the Bay of Quinte in ISO? and it had been claimed that amuel Champlain was the first white lan to touch the soil of Prince Ed-ard County.

Five teachers of the Pict-public schiol staff have resigned. i teachers had previously applied an increase in salary, but the reeling of the board was that the town cannot afford to grant the request in- _____se unless a large provincial grant can be obtained than has been a able in the past. the Minister. The details of the revisad courses of study in science and mathematics will be announced about the middle of August. The details of the courses in the other departments remain unchanged for the coming year, but will Ik revised for the school vear of 1922-$3; Candidates for entrance into the Model or Normal Schools will be allowed to write on one Or more subjects at a time in any order as approved by the Principal, and on obtaining 50 per cent of the marks assigned to any paper will be given credit for having passed in such paper and will receive a certificate of such standing. The purpose of the regulation is no; to give freedom of election to pupils to study one or more subjects as they please. Rather it is intended that the Principal, no longer restricted by the exigencies of the present examination system, shall be free to organize the courses in his school with an eye single to the best Interests of the pupils under his charge, and in harmony with his conception of what a true education calls for; and it is to be understood that with this knowledge of their needs he shall have authority to determine the subjects which individual pupils or groups of pupils shall be required to take. Under this system, subjects may -be examined upon in the year in which they have been completed; and pupils who have passed a satisfactory test in a subject will be credited with the work done.
