"UNFAIR BURDEN."
COUNTRY HIGH SCHOOL. PAYMENT FOR TYPEWRITERS. (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) CAMBRIDGE, this day. The Cambridge District High School committee is about inaugurate a commercial course at the secondary department. At the monthly meeting of the class last night the following resolution was passed: "This committee emphatically protests at the attitude of the Education Department in imposing upon country liigh school committees, where such are inaugurating commercial courses, the obligation of providing onehalf of the cost of typewriters, when, on the other hand, the . Department is providing city technical schools with machines at the Department's cost. It is, felt by the committee that the principle of the Department is one that places an unfair burden on country school committees associated with secondary departments."
It was Tesolved to forward a copy :of the resolution to the Minister of the Education Board and the member of Parliament for the district, and also to send an appropriate remit to the Primary Schools' Association.
