Police No Longer to Chase the Youngsters Who Play Hooker. —Trustees Get Control.—New School Attendance Act Now In-, trodaiced by Ontario Govorn. naeatt. Hereafter the youngster who plays "hockey" will not find a policeman on his trail, Instead a "School At- tendance Officer" will call on the mother sold father with suitable re- iiionst•ances; In this statement of fact will be found the change ie principle embodied in the •new School Attendance Act introduced in the Legislature by lion. G. Howard 'Fer- guson in the absence of 1-lon, Dr. Cody, now on the sick lista The mea- sure is a revision off the old Truancy Act without the punitive character of the former law, Instead of the enforcement of the Act being in the hands of the local police authorities it is entrusted to the school boards who are given power to appoint and pay "School Attendance Officers," These officers may be women if the board consider it advisable. Another feature of the Act is the provision made for the appointment of a Provincial School Attendance Officer. 1t will not be his part to interfere with the local enforcement of the law, but where local officers meet with difficulty of any sort he will he able to give them advice 'and assistance. He will also have special duties in regard to the enforcement of the school attendance laws in un- organized districts. Where settle - dents neglect to provide schools or teachers or otherwise fail in their duty toward the children of the dis- trict the Provincial Officer is given power to Step in and do all the things the local authorities have power to do, but have neglected. The new measure leaves the compulsory school as it was before—from 8 to 14 years of age. ,rr.,-.-, .0;0 .,....nom®1 A PEEK INTO THE A fTIC Have You Visited the Attie Lately ?

Arbitrators to Fix Rate . In providing for, the organization of consolidated schools Hon, Dr, Cody has taken the lowest possible unit by permitting two or more schools to get together. In addition the.. bill provides for the coinsolida- tiun of Union school sections, or a rural section with a village school, it also ,allows a school section to he divided where It is advisable that wily acne part enter a consolidated school section, provided the rate- payers approve, ' When a rural section desires to join haunts with a village school the ratepayers must give approval, those of the rural section by a re- solution passed at a special public meeting, and the village ratepayers by ballot in the usual way. The Act provides for the drawing up of agree- ments which will cover all questions between the section, the division and distribution of assets and liabilities, etc Where a special rate must be int- eosed to give etTect to an agreement it is to be fixed by a board of arbitra- tors -composed of the school inspector, the county judge, and one person nam- ed by the Council of each .of the local municipalities interested. Where this makes an even number the odd arbit- rator will be appointed by the Minis- ter. Election of Boards Where a consolidated section is established, the agreement must be approved by the Minister, who must be notified before June 1 in that year. Following this' approval, at the usual time, there must be a new election of trustees, the board for the consolidated section to consist of one member elected for one year, two for two years and two for three years, with elections each year to replace those retiring. Where a vil- lage Is in a consolidated section the ratepayers of' the village are permitt- ed to elect a Member to the board, THB CLINTON NEW RRA.. Provision is ,made that where pupils living in s far earlier of it school see- iiou desire to attend. the ' school for that seeo, instead of going tq a nearer school in :ut adjoining school section, .the Minister may mstke spec, lal grants for transportuting such chil- dren ltil- c 1 nto School, etc.,if heeons' It I t, cl , considers advisable. The Act ajso mikes it clear that where there are two 'schools in one school section ' they may, with the approval of the Minister, be declared a eensolidttted school, Clauses provide for maintenance, of the consolidated school? the principle being laid clown that where two or moreschools unite, the municipal appropriations for the schools shall be continued as if there had been no con- solidation and that where extra teach- ers are found necessary, the municipal- ities shall sliare the extra expense, RYAN FUST HONORED BY B.
