Mr. Meek stated that a letter from the dean of the Faculty of Pedagogy it Queen's University intimated that he was fully satisfied with the arrange- ment of teachers in Victoria school Mr. Meek reported that the Model school class this session would be quite large. The property committee had been looking: around for accomodation and had received from Queen's University the offer of two rooms in the old arts building. The likelihood, was therefore, that the Moddl school class would be held there. On motion of Mr. Meek, seconded by Dr, Anglin, the board expressed regret over the death of Daniel Reeves, a member of the board; that the secretary send a letter of condolence fo the fam- fly, and that the council be asked to order an election in Sydenham ward so that the vacancy on the board may be filled Principal Ellis, of the Gollegiate In- stitute, drew attention to the announce- ment of the collegiate courses, in which it was intimated that the technical course would be $10 a year for the first three years. He understood that the first year at the Collegiate was to be free in all departments, in view of the people having voted for a free first form. Principal Ellis wanted to know if the item in the announcement was a mistake. Trustees Renton and Meek said that the budget would show whether it was intended to charge thé fee mentioned. The statement in the announcement regarding the first year is as follows :-- 'First year, including commercial work, free" Mr. 'Meek said that if the board's finances could stand it, the technical course for the first year would be made free. Mr." McLean, chairman of the finance committee, and secretary Macdonald, stated that the board could easily make the work free. Mr. McLean moved, seconded by Mr. Bennett, that the technical work of the first year be made free. Mr.. Meck said he doubted if .the board at a special meeting, and without giving motice to the members, could strike out the fees. However, he said, it could be understood that the principal was to receive pupils free, and the board could take the necessary steps %o do this at the next regular meeting. All the members present agreed to this. | The board adjourned after being in { session half an hour. Delegates Return Home. Nearly all of the delegates to the high | court of Foresters, returned home this | morning, -a few remaining over until The delegates expressed themselves as being well pleased with their stay in the city, and were given lan opportunity to visit different places: 'of interest. now | success. | Boys' School Caps, 25¢, and Toe.
