Only about half a page was oc« cupied with Separate School reports, while the Public School reports iilled about lweuty pages. «_ Mr, CROOKS said it was desirable that @vory efiort skould be made to supply full fiaformation with regard to our school sys. ;em. lls was understood to explain that "ublic ischool Iuspectors were required io kend certarin information to the Department Ein order to obtain the Government grant; but that no such regulation existed with re-- gpect to Separate Schools, At the request of Bomoe Scparate Echool authorities he had inade -- ariangements by which Separate Bchoo!ls in cities and towns might be in-- kpocted by the High School Inspector of 'hu same locality, and by which the Courty uspector might be employed for the same purpose.
