EDUCATIONAL Government acts "Respecting the Deâ€" partment of Education," and "to amend the public schools act," were introducâ€" @d by Hon. Dr. Pyne in the Legislature westerday afternoon. The principal proâ€" wisions of these acts have been fore casted in several Ministerial speeches, but owing to the realization of their W the House followed the ster of Education‘s explanatory outline of them with considerable inâ€" terest. In a reference near the close of his remarks relative to the proposed mew mormal schools. Hon. Dr. Pyne pointed out that legislation enabling the carrying out of the Government‘s mn in this regard was already on statute books. The number and location of the schools had not yet been docided. If there were four there New Bills Amcndilg Preseni Acts Broug ht Down charge for their upkeep would be from $70,000 to $75,000. ‘The additional g:nu the Government contemplated continustion classes, to the rural public and separate schools, to the inâ€" crease of teachers‘ salaries, and allowâ€" ?oll for expenses of public school spectors, would total about $90,000 for the first school year, under the new ':ct. The minimum salary hereafter in ural sohools with one teacher would be $500, and for each assistant teacher $300. The present average salary in rural schools at the last available reâ€" ports was $372 for male and $283 for female teachers. Following are the thief provisions of the bil} as detailed: Department of Education. ‘Appointment of superintendent of Réucation and establishment of advisâ€" ®ry council subject to the Minister, ‘The superintendent to have general wupervision of all classes of provincial high, public and separate schools, proâ€" fessional training schools and examinaâ€" tlons for teachers of said schools, art schools, public libraries and the inspecâ€" tors of schools and libraries, and may make recommendations to the Minister, Advisory council to consist of fevenâ€" teen members, fifteen being: elective and two exâ€"officlo. ‘The latter will be the president of the University of Toâ€" ronto, who will be chairman, and the wuperintendent of education, who â€" will #epresont the Minister, but without wote. ‘The other representatives will be: three from University of Toronto, Bno each from Queen‘s, McMaster and ttawa Universities, university repreâ€" wentatives to be members of their senâ€" mtes; two elected by high school teachâ€" eVOW, EmW ENRMUMR NWOR SCs ers; four eleoted by.public school teachâ€" ers; one elected by separate school teachers; two clected by public school Anspectors. â€" School representatives to be elected by closed ballot. â€"First elecâ€" tion to be held in October next. iture of about $200,000, and the yearly Advisory council to be consultative committee to confer with Minister, and their advice he may cither accept or reâ€" Yect. .

Early and late® and every lawful hour the members o € the Government had found fault wit Â¥ the late Government for appointing «*>mmissions. All Govâ€" ernments in seiÂ¥â€"governing countries needed them. ‘T)%e former Government did not lay their reports on the sheilf, He thought the P!l! might safely be postponed for a y FPar. Premier Wo uld Not Agres. Premier Whitney did not understand Mr. Harcourt‘sâ€" allu on to Mr.â€"Colguâ€" houn and Mr. Milla u. The new superâ€" interident was to tÂ¥ the gentleman whose system was in: accord with their wishes. ‘They would see at once how the new system was in accord with their wishes. ‘There w h# this difference between the consultatitve council and he the former one, that the} new one was to . be elected, while the ok% one was comâ€". posed of nominees of this Government,. . Textâ€"books would have \been the first thing dealt with could it Luwe been posâ€" . sible, but the Government. had to walt on the unexpired schoolâ€"boik contracts. ‘They proposed to dive down and find the proper and reasonable price for school books, and see that the people get them at that price. His ouity did not allow him to accede to Mat Harâ€" court‘s suggestion to allow the dill to ’stand over for a year. Hon. Mr. Ross on the Bill. Hon. Mr. Ross halled with pleasitre any progressive legislation the Govern ment might introduce. Very substanâ€" tlal progress had been made by the late Governmentâ€"almost & revolution in the last fifty years. They had established. normal schools, raised the qualifications of teachers, abalished thirdâ€"class certiâ€" ficates, abolished township superintenâ€" dents, were ploneers in appointing pubâ€" lic school inspectiors, extended the libâ€" rary system and established free Nbâ€" raries. It would hardly be fair to the House to enumerate the progress made. ‘The bill followed the lines laid down by the former Government, and so far the Opposition would approve it. It was unnecessary that so much should be said about commissions. He denied that a list of witnesses had ever been wivâ€" en the commission by any Minister. Judge Morgan was the chairman, and the other members were honorable men. They might find that books were cheapâ€" er now than twenty years ago. But they should start with the idea that one / side of the House was just as anxious / to do right as the other. He would not. hesitate to criticize the bill, yet withâ€". out appealing to the dead past. If there: was to be a party vote it would not coms from his side. At the same time he must resent any attack and repel any insinuation against the policy of the late Government. He did not think anything at all of a bill standing for a year. There was no reason why . it should not stand if such delay would lead to the best thing being done. It would be a thousand pities for the counâ€" | iry if a reform of this kind should cause any irritation. Revision of the Ballot Premier . Whitney has introduced in the Legislature a bill to do away with the printed number on the Ontario ballot. In bringing down the bill the Premier promised that a new ballot act would be passed next session. Mr. Harcourt said the whole questlon resolved itself to one as to the honesty of the officlals, and it was not for either side to say that cither party would choose a dishonest official for a judicial positiqn. ® d Unb nds noaqh oi uky Pm P C Bs The Opposition objected to the stlâ€" pulation in the Toronto General Hosâ€" pital bill that medical students other than those of Toronto University be adâ€" mitted only by the giving of special perâ€" mission by the board of trustees of the hospital. The debate arose out of the reading of the clause in committee. Finâ€" ally, the Premier said that the clause would be reconsidered. 1d a man. ‘;l:h’r; was a grist of bills up for a third reading, which was glyen to 12 of them. * The appointment of a rallway and municipal board by the Government was discussed when Hon.
