BOUNDARIES OF DI5TRICTS.

A!! doubt should be removed, as to the power of the| Board to alter, enlarge or diminish the size of Districts, | without any forma! application of the inhabitants, or the ne-| cessity of appointing a Commission of enquiry—the same to) be, as before, subject to the approval of the Executive Coun- | ei.

Powe: may also be given to iuhabitants to order at ‘i meeting enlargemest of School-houses, aud to assess for the | «sme, as well as for the original building of it, and also for) the final completion of Schvol-houses, if the original specibi-| cation shal! be fouod not to have fully provided for the same. |

All School-hou~es hereafter to be built and fitted up ac- | eording to plans to be furnished by the Board.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

Where disputes arise, or doubts exist, as to who are the | legal and proper Trustees of a Schoo! District, the Board | of Education shuld te empowered, by any means they | think proper. to exumine into circumstances, and determiue | who are the Trustees ; and a certificate setting forth the names of the Trustees, signed by the Secretary of be Bourd and two Members, shall be final and conclusive proof of their) appointment and powers. ;

Where the Board find it impossible to determine who are, Trustees, they may order, at any time, a new election of) Trusiees, ov a certain day, which be ng posted on the School- house of the District six days before the day of election, shall | be sufficient to cal! the Lohabitants together ; and the Trustees | then eleeted, on confirmation by the Beard, shall te deemed 10 be in office until the first duy of July next after the date | of election, or wutil some new election shall take place.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

SU PERANNUATED FUND.

The establishment of a superannuated fund to form an an- | paity for teachers incapacitated for duty, from any cause— | uch annuity or retiringallowance to be proportioned to) length of service, and to the amount which may be contributed yearly, by the teacher claiming the benefit of such fund. |

NORMAL SCHOOL.

The Board of Education has more than once expressed a | dveided ecnviction that the appointment of a Second Master, | or additional Teacher, is indi:pensable to the efficiency of the | Normal School. The appointment of this Teacher, either)

as Rector oras assistant Teacher, cannot any longer be de- |

ferred without. great detriment to the educational interests of |

the country. This fact is forcibly impressed upon them on_ every occasion on which they are called to examine candidates for the office of ‘leacher.

The term of ettendance at the Normal School should be extended from three to five months. The year to be divided into two terms of five months each ; candidates for the Teach- er’s offive to be entitled to examination ut the end of the fir-t| term, and if found not qualified, io be required to attend the | second term. Aj! candidates to be examined before being admitted into the Normal School.

‘shal! ceriify that the said Clerk has fully completed his of- ficial dutics.””

| Hon Mr, Bagrart—Should the mode of paying the Clerk of ‘this Council be allowed to remain as it at present stands in the | Bill, it would, at all tines, be unfair to the individual holding the appointment ; and, in the event of bs. dying at any period ‘within the twelve months, it would be grossly unjust.

It having been intimated to the Council that the House of Assembly had declined to accede to the suggestion of the Council respecting an increase of the a: presses for the annual salary of the first Assistant Clerk of the Executive Counne |,—

His Honor the Presipent said, Lam sorry that the Toure of Assembly have not agreed fo our suggestion proposing a more liberal allowance to the present incumbent of the office of Clerk to the Executive Council, because what we have asked for him is positively a matter of right. The power of fixing the amount of salary resis wholly with the House of Assembly. Wecan diminish, but w2 cannot increase. 1, therefore, move that the clause as it si#nds in the Bill be agreed to. | His honor Col. Swanexy—All that we have to do is to justify ourselves; and that we have done by the suggestion we have

made, aiiiouch ut has proved abortive.
