Abstract
THE public schools question has been somewhat in abeyance in recent months. Among the reasons for this is that the larger share of public attention in this province has been given to the Education Act, and the numerous administrative measures that are required to bring it into effective operation; and also that up to now the negotiations between the Ministry, on one hand, and the associations of governing bodies for boys' schools and girls' schools, the headmasters and headmistresses on the other, have been confined to scheme A of the Fleming Report, that is, the recommendations applying to what will be known in the future as direct-grant grammar schools. These negotiations are pretty well completed, and the revised regulations for direct-grant grammar schools have now been published. Discussions on scheme B, that is, those recommendations that affect mainly the independent boarding schools and day schools, are just beginning; and we may therefore expect a revival of public interest in the future of those schools.
