But in view of the regula- tions, which ftate that "in a muni- cipality having a high school, if resi- dent pupils of the high school are not charged foes for the first year, it will not be deemed obligatory for the pub- lie school board to have a fifth class, your committee recommends the abolishment | of the fees of all opl- legiate pupils) taking up the fifth form work, including the following commercial work: Book-keeping, ele- of |} languages | aholished peti - on iF The fifth rere with the | The primary was because a id: ns at the last was no de "fifth 'class.

From Jannary Ist next the cost would be nothing, as an arrangement of teachers could made.

Q.--The cost of establishing the class, or of supporting those who would at- tend it in the high schoc?. { A.--The inspector reports that 'to | open a class in September would re- auire an additional teacher and an ad- ditional room. We understand from him, though not in writing, that the class would be beyond the present ac- commodation of the school buildings. The secretary reports that to estab. lish the form outside of the present school accommodation would call for an expenditure of from $1.200 to $1,- 500 the first year. As to the second part of the question, we cannot give an estimate of the cost of supporting pupils in the Collegiate Institute. A free commercial course would cost $240 a year. An entirely free first form | would cost $1,200 year. Q--The availability of funds forming this year a $fth class, what 'cost would be incurred.

As a taxpayer, he was willing to pay any increased cost attached to a fifth class. Mr. Meck said that, the report of the management committee was not as complete as it should have been. More information should have heen concisely prinfed, so as to have it for future re ference. He pointed out that in 1895 there were only girls attending the fifth class, most of them going up for The fifth clase he said wae pot frozen out; but thos who attended it saw that it was 1 them advantageous to 20 to the Col legiate and qualify for g 'seconc. and not a third class certificate.

Mr. Meek difiered from Mr. Godwin. He claimed that there was no deceiv- ng the people. There had never bedn any complaints about the matter, Inspector Kidd stated that the fifth classes were unsatisfactory from the time the dwindling began. There was great confusion from 1890. If fifth classes wero established now in the pub- lie schools, and if there was on ya small attendance, there would again be the same confusion gs occurred ten and twelve years ago. Prof. Martin said that the dwindling was evidently caused hy 'the abolition of the third class certificate, The ob- ject of a fifth class new was to in- duce boys and girls who did not wan', to go up for the entrance examing- tion to remain in the public schools. Prof. Maegillivray held that the new scheme of a fifth class had for its ob- ject the rounding off of public school education. In view of the large peti- tion from the citizens in favor of the fifth class, he 'was prepared to accede to the wishes of the petitioners, The citizens who signed the petition in- cluded the largest taxpayers, and they certainly were not fools. Rven the al- derman who recently criticized the hoard for ite. large expenditure, hac' signed the petition, and evidently eon- sidored that a fifth class was neces rary, even if it did add, additional ex- nense to the city, Mr. Bennett claimed that the man- agement committee's position had not been fairly stated. All the facts wern in the possession of the commitiee, The Feports were on the table, though fot printed, and could be called for by any trustee. Mr. Bennett said that 160 much weight had been attached to e petition. Many. had signed it who didn't understand the situation, and Some mow wanted their names with- drawp.

Mr. Elliott and Prof. Marshall -de- clared # unfoir that two resolutions had been put in so early and had side-tracked the report of the man- agomient committee, The other side had been protty fully discussed, with. out hearing the information that the management committee had to offer and there was lots of it. The Chairman's Stand. Chairman Kelly said that the peti: tion was one of 'the most splendid documents. the board had ever re. ceived," It had exercised the press very much, and stinging items were printed in regard to it, He would undertake to produce an additional petition with 6500" more names in favor of the fifth clays. Mr. Kelly ridiculed the stafes ment that the men who signed petition did not know what they were signing. He hinted very broadly that the abolition of the Bfth class and the amalgamation of the public school and Collegiate boards were closely comected. The Collegiate Institute then was not paying well, and the aholition. of 'the fifth lass and the drawing of "trade" to the Collegiate wag very desirable on the part of some persond. As to money, the board had always found any, moun A it wanted for its fads, eic. Last year, $2,100 was spost on extensions to the Collegiate Institute--~iots could be spent 'for the wellto-do people, but none for poor ratepayers, of the Jublie schools.
