Dr. Durcan McArthur, Deputy Minâ€" ister of Education, announced on Monrday that summer holidays for school children have been extended to the Tuesday following Labor Day. The purpose of the change, it was explainâ€" ed, is to allow tseachers taking summer courses to enjoy a full month of holiâ€" days before the reâ€"opening of school. "For several years to come summer will have to be provided for the reâ€"training of teachers so that they may be preparsd to teach the new course of studies," Dr. McArthur stated. "It is only fair and proper that those teachers who are engaged in taking summer courses should be asâ€" sured of a reasonable holiday, and I am c>rtain they should have at least four weeks." It was also suggested that parents who spend the holidays out of town and do not wish to reâ€" turn until after Labor Day, will welâ€" come the extension.

Mr. Laprairie suggested that if necessary it would be arranged that the extra cost of building a sixâ€"foot walk would be paid privately but adâ€" mitted that it would be quite agreeâ€" able if the council decided to the walk to the desired width.

He pointed out that the finance committee were desirous of deâ€" termining the opinions of the members as to the advisability of investigating the question in detail. Councillor Bill Wren had been emâ€" powered some time agzo as chairman of the finance committee to go into the matter and make a report to council. It was felt that ugless the council acâ€" tually intendsed to consider the mattér there would be no point in going to the trouble to make any investigation of an intensive tharacter. A suggestion was made that the matter could be considered at a comâ€" mittes meeting of council to be held next week but the Mayor opposed the idea of discussing the question behind closed doors. At this point Councillor Wren came to his feet and recomâ€" mended that the representatives of the press should be present at all comâ€" mittee mestings where the majority of the town‘s business is transacted, as well as the regular biâ€"monthly sessions which are held in public.
