The boards may. ihn addition, recommend to the Minister of Education the admission of candidates who, in their opinions are fitted for High school work even though, in certain respects they fail- ed to attain the required standard at the written examination. Moreover, those who for good reasons were un- able to write on the examinations may have thet applications for admission to High schools considered by the public school inspectors and High school priacipals at any time. The changes include a considerable al- teration and simplification of the ex- isting. regulations. The chigf com- plaint has been that, admission by High school principals was hampered by a requirement that the promotion examination papers and results had; to be submitted to the entrance board and the result in the opinion of many was merely an entrance examination of another sorte In future the entrance boards may dispense with a get form of examination and accept such re- commendations from principals as are deemed satisfactory. spelled leedeletededeinteteteteledeteieteteietectet | Ontario’s Best Business College CENTRAL STRATFORD, ONT.
