The Department, however, appears to have no intention of altering its decision, and in replying to such pro- tests the Deputy Minister writes as follows: -- ; "I am directed by the Minister of Education to acknowledge your letter of the 16th instant, and in reply to state that the number of candidates writing departmental examinations .has so increased that last year the cost to the Department of Education, after deducting the amount received | M | in fees, exceeded $250,000.

This _vear the minister has further extend- ed this privilege of securing certifi- cates without examinations so that next summer middle school students of regularly inspected schools who have completed the years work in a subject and are rated at 66 percent by their teachers will be granted certificates on their year's work with- out examination. The remaining candidates are pupils of the upper school and pupils of the lower and 'middle schools, who, for most part, are not thought fit to pass the examina- tions, or who have not taken.a high standing on .their year's work. It would seem reasonable that these stu- = | dents should pay a larger share of the actual examination costs.
