Secondary Schools.

The Education! Committee having! bestowed Considerable attention upon the subject of secondary schools', has reported that its arrived at certain conclusions which it submitted to the Hjouse flqfrl adoption*—namely: "(1.) That any pupil of a school in, charge of a sole teacher who> ha® obtained a, certificate of proficiency, although over the age of 1-i years-, may, if lie jbe spec-ally recommended as worthy of exceptional consideration by such sole teacher, be admitted to a free place, subject, however, to the ad- | option of such reconmieudati-oni by i the governing body. (2-) That this committee, having' carefully examined the question of free admission into , the secondary schools, finds that the ! i'egulation! Controlling thei exauiinar tions for suiah admissions have not been generally brought into operation, and, therefore, recommends that ai suni) be placed upon the Estimates to be appropriated under section VI of 'TiiiO Secondary .SWiools Act, 1903,' to provide for the erection, acquisition, or equipment of new 1 buildings! for' secondary schools, but that great care .should be exercised in disposing of the appropriation in view-1 of the fan-it that it will not be easy to judge the necessity for additional accomniodationi until the regulations have been in force for some tim-e." _________ I
