Tlie Standing Committee of Secondary Schools Association waited oil the Minister of Education to-day to brins under has notice the question of tho I'epresenitation of secondary schools on the University Senate, with a view to securing cooperation between parties in the matter of examinations.

It was pointed out by the deputation that the University scheme, especially in science and chemistry examinations, was much behind the times. They desired tto make matriculation continuous and free at the place of examinations.
