widely varying times at which
Easter occurs and the resultant
shift in lengths of the winter
and spring terms. Under the
new arrangement the last week
in March will become a fixed
holiday period for all the
schools in the province. Good
Friday and Easter Monday will,
however, still be observed as
school holidays.
Among other changes an-
nounced by the Department of
Education are more widely ap-
plied cash remunerations for
school trustees. At the present
time members of rural boards
with more than three members
may receive honorariums up to
$150 per month, This finan-
cial arrangement will now be-
come available to all rural
trustees regardless of the num-
ber of members on the board.
Board chairman will also be
permitted to claim an extra fee
up to 25% of their regular year-
ly honorarium, up to a maxi-
mum of $350.00 per month.
Another change permits the
election of school board mem-
bers for a term of three years
rather than the present two year
term.
Members of local municipal
councils will be permitted to
qualify as candidates as school
trustees without first resigning
from their prior elective posi-
tions if their term on council
has less than two months to run.
The maximum period for
free high school attendance has
been extended from six to sev-
en years. At the present time
a student who returns for his
seventh year because of failure
in subjects or change of course
must pay fees. The new ar-
rangement extends the free
