THE QUAKER MILLS PETERBOROUGH and SASKATOON DISTRIBUTORS: Port Perry, Hogg & Lytle Sunderland--Tim Doyle COUNTY COUNCIL Continued from Front Page to Mr. Grant, Provincial Minister of , Education. The resolution is as "fol ows; alizing the fpartonte of ade- quate and efficient primary and sec- ondary educational advantages for "the rural districts of the Province of "Ontario and knowing the desire 'of the Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of "Education, and the Government with which he is associated to further those advantages as far as in their | power lies, and feeling that those 'educational advantages which it was hoped would follow the passing and putting into operation of the Consdl- idated School Act of 1919, have not been realized owing to the very great diffulity of forming such a conseli- dated school area in accordance with the procedure as laid down by the provisions of that Act, therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, the Council of the County of Ontario, in session as- Sembled in Whitby, this 26th day of January, 1923, do hereby recommend to the Honorable the Minister of Ed- ucation that the Act respecting Con- solidated Schools, 1919, See. 2; Sub- section 3, be amended so to embody the following consecutive steps -in the formation of such a Consolidated school area. "Changes Desired "(1) That the proposed consoli- dated school area shall first have the aproval of 'the Minister. "(2) . That a petition signed by at least 25 per cent. of the ratepayers in each school 'section in the proposed area, desiring a vote on the question, shall be submitted to the Minister. "(8) That the question shall then be decided by a majority vote of the ratepayers of the whole proposed area." G. A. McMillan, of Reach Town- ship, did not think consolidated schools were feasible but favored continuation' schools, The time would come, he contended, when the rural districts would be more thick- ly populated, as they are in the Unit- edStates. Mr. Forgie replied that Mr. McMillan's arguments were all in favor of consolidated 'schools as they were particularly for sparsely populated localities and they would be continuation schools. =~ Mr. Forgie stated that they would be established only where they were feasible. Explained Advantages R. A. Hutchinson, Public Sshool In- spector, in an instructive address ex- plained many advantages to be deriv- ed from consolidated schools which | he said provided a great system of education. There was not a school in South Ontario with an average at-| tendance of more than sixty-five per cent. of the total enrolment while in consolidated schools the attendance averaged from 90 to 98 per cent. He believed the resolution to be strictly in accord with the tepuirements of | - the present time. D. R.

The Financing and Control of Education' in New Zealand Continued from Front Page (b) When it dismisses or demotes a teacher, it oat he be prepared to defend its action before a Court of A of ASveal composed of a Stipendiary Magistrate, an Assessor appo! the Board, and one appointed by the Educational Institute (Teachers® Asso. ciation). - This, again, protects the efficient teacher, while it does not shelter the inefficient. The School Committee, working under the general control of the Education Board, carries out many of the duiies af of a Rural Board of School Trustees, but has less responsibility than the lat : ter. Its funds are provided by the ' Department through the Board, and must be spent as provided inthe regulations. - At one time the School Committee exercised a controlling : influence in the selection of teachers, but it has a deprived of | that power. - The leading Education Boards volta y shore themselves ore the law the law Hlaced of the right to choose teachers, many the grading of teachers for Ee any ean in the Boards of Inspectors.
