Chang et in the Law — The following changes have been made in ttie School Law, as contained and explained in Part I. of the Revised School Law. 1.— Aimual SohOOl Meeting* (Sec. v, ch. vi., page 45 and sec. 14, page so.) The day for holding the annual school meeting (as fixed in 1850) has been changed. The School Act of 1879 declares that : "All the provisions of the Public School Act respecting the election of Trus- tees, and the annual meetings in Rural School sections, shall continue to apply to Rural School Corporations, except that the annual meeting and the nomination »nd election of Trustees thereat, shall be held on the last Wednesday in the month of December in each year, or if such Wednesday be a holiday, then on the day next following." ^Sec. 9, Act of I879.) Note i.--The "nomination" and election of trustees must be held at ten o'clock on the day indicated above. An adjournment before the election is not atithoriiicd in the School Act and would be illegal, us the law declares that the election shall be held on the day named. The hours (as indicated on page 45, and sec. 14, page 50, Part I.) remain the same. The new law authorizes the forma) "nomination" of one or more persons whom it is proposed to elect as rural school trustee, or trustees, of a section, (Sec, 9, Act of 1879.) Note 2, — Only one trustee goes out of office each year, and no more than one should be elected, unless a further vacau. / occurs from any cause. 2. —School Section Voters' List- (See. 3, ch. \1., page 46.) The School franchise has been extended so as to include all per- aons named in the "Voters' Lists." The law, as changed, declares that — "The right of any person to vote in any municipality, at any election of Public Scuool Trustees or upon any school question, is extended so as to comprise in addition to the persons now entitled by law, eveiy person named upon " The Voters' List" of such municipality, and whether entitled to vote at municipal elections or elections to the Legislative Assembly, when such person has been assessed for, and has paid a rate imposed upon him for Public School purposes within the last twelvemonths in the ward, town, village or school section in which he is propojing to vote at such election or meeting." — (Sec. 2, Act of 1879.) Note i.— It will be necessary for a trustee to obtain a copy of the " Voters* List" from the township Clerk, so far as it relates to their own section, in order that the chairman of a school meeting can see who are the qualified voters of the section. (See next section.) Note 1.— As to the sufficient payment oi a school rate, see note to Sec. 4 on p»ge 46. Part L, Revised School Law. * TJirections how to conduct School Meetings, printed on a Urge slieet, can be obtained from Messrs. Copp, Clark h Co., Toronto, for 10 cents. Forms of Trustees' " Notice of an Annual School Meeting," three on a half sheet, can be obtained from Messrs. Copp, Clark k Co.. Toronto, for 5 cents. Forms of Wotice of Special School MeetiiiK, three on a sheet, can also (« obtained for s ctnts ; and from th's same publishers, " Directions How to Ci)nduct School Meetings," on a large sheet, for 10 cenU. Numerous other School forms are »Uu supplied by them or any bookseller. See list. SCHOOL MEETINOS — SCTHOOL RATES. 3 3.— .Declaration of Right to Vote. (Sec. 4, ch. vi., page 46.) The old law has been changed ao as to read as follows: — "In case an objection is made to the right cf any person to vote at any sfach election in any municipality or upon any other subject connected with Public School ji^urposes therein, the returning officer, chairman or other officer presiding *t the election or meeting shall require tae person wh. Copp, Claik & Co., Toronto, or other book- sellcrt, for 15 cents. fRUSTEES ESTIMATES AND TOWNSHIP COUNCILS. Note l. — The school meeting has now the right to object to a loan by the trustees, or to the levy of a rate by the township council, for the purposes men- tioned above. It has also the right to object to any item of expense included in the trustees' estimate of expenJiture on "capital account." In other words, the school meeting has full power to discuss with the trastees, and decide with them upon the expediency of the proposed outlay, its amount, or any particular item in the estimate. The final result of the discussions at the meeting should be embodied in formal resolutions for the guidance of the trustees, and on which they can, if the outlay be approved, base their estimate* and requisition to the township council. NOTP; 2. — When the propo.sed loan or rate for expenditure on " capital account" has been sanctioned by the school meeting, the trustees can compel the township council (in case of its refusal) l>y matiiamus, from either of the Courts of Queens Bench or ('ommon Pleas, to autliorize the loan, or to raise the amount required, by rate upon the secU&ri Copp> Clark * Co., or other booluellers, for ao cenU. SCHOOL SITES AND ARBITRATOB8. 9 23.— Who is " Owner" of School Site. (Sec. la, ch. vii., page 57.) The term " owner " of land for a proposed school site can generally bo easily ascei-tained, but it is sometimes difficult to determine who is the real owner. Sec. 128 of the School Act, therefore, provides that : "AH corporations and persons whatever, tenants in tail or for life, guardians, executors, administrators, and all other trustees whatsoever, not only for and on behalf of themselves, their heirs and successors, but also for and on behalf of those they represent, whether infants, issue unborn, lunatics, idiots, /emgs-cai'ert, or other persons, seised, possesse 10 PART I. — RURAL SCHOOL TRU8TKE8. cliango of site, etc., are fully discussed in Part IT. of the Revised School Law. chapter iii., seca. U and 10, pages 125, 126; and ch. ir., sec. 9, cl. 4, page 132. 27 —School House Aooommodation. (Sec. 9, ch. ii., page 19.) Tn case trustee.s fiiil to provide suitable outhouse, fences, maps awd tablolH, ijiS))ectorB should require that these deficiencies be supplied within a reasonable time ; and unless reasonable and satisfactory efforts be made, having regard to the circumstances of each school, the defaulting should be reported to the Dejiarttnent, in order to the consideration of the propriety of withholding the apportionment of the school fund from such section. (Minister's Decision [11642], 1879.) 28 —Use of School House (Sec. 11, ch. ii., page 20.) In Rabian v. The School Trustees, Thurlow (12 Chy. 115), a bill was filed by a ratepayer, seeking to restrain school trustees from allowing the school house to l>e used for religious services, but the bill did not allege that it was filed on behalf of the plaintiff and all other ratepayers. Two of the three school trustees consented to the injunction being granted as asked. The Court refiised the application on the grounds — first, that the suit was not properly constituted ; and that if it had been, it appearing that a majority of the trustees were in favour of the views of the plaintiff, they had themselves the power to do that which they consented to the Court doing. Qmere, if the bill had been by the plaintiff on behalf of himself and all other ratepayers, whether then the suit would have been properly coastituted. 29.— Payment for Holidays. (Sees. 4 and 14, ch. ix., pages 62 and 71.) If the period for which a teacher is engaged is completed at "the expiration of the school term," he is justly entitled to payment for the holidays or vacation immediately following that term. If, how- ever, the agreement has still a further time to run, and is broken by the teacher giving up the school before the time mentioned in that agreement, or failing to get his certificate renewed, it would be optional with the trustees to allow for the holidays or vacation. Note i. — It must, however, be borne in mind that this view applies only to cases where, by the non-compliance of the teacher to continue his professional duties during the term of his agreement, the interests of the school have been injuriously affected. Note 2. — Where tl trustees consent to the retirement of the teacher, by accepting his resignati* , they become parties to the dissolution of the agreement, and thus give him a legal and equitable right to be paid for the holidays and vacations, should any occur at the close of the term mentioned in the letter of resignation which had been accepted. (Departmental Decision.) 30 —Employment of Teachers.* (Sec. 14, ch. ii., page 22,) The trustees of every school section have full power to employ a duly qualified teacher. The ratepayers cannot interfere with this right, nor can the inspector interfere, unless the trustees should * Forms of Contract-AEreements between trustees and teachers can be obtained from Messrs. Copp, Clark & Co. , or other booksellers, for 5 cents. SCHOOL HOUSE AND TEACHERS. 11 assume to appoint a teacher who is not duly qualified to take pro})er charge of all the classes in the school. In such a case it would be his duty to caution the trustees, and seek to get them to com|)ly with the law, so that the section would not run the risk of loosing its share of the school fund. There is also the probable legal penalty for failure to carry out the programme at the instance of any aggi'ieved rate- payer. 31— Agreements with Teachers— Remedy. (Sec 4, ch. ix., page 6a.) When a teacher enters into a formal agreement with the trustees, imder their corporate seal, he has his remedy against them in the Division Court. Sometimes, however, a teacher by letter or telegram accepts an ofler of trustees to conduct their school, and then fails to carry out his agreement. What is then the remedy against him '! 1)1 such cases the Minister of Education has decided that " a school teacher possctssing a Provincial certificate is in the same position as any other contracting party, and is liable to be sued in damages for refusing to fulfil an agreement. The question whether there is a (X)n tract or not would depend upon written evidence, signed by the teacher, or sent by original telegraph over his signature. Letters and telegrams will answer if sufficiently unequivocal. The proceed- ings against a t«mcher in case of failure to fulfil his engagement could be had in a Division or a County Coui't, or in one of the suporioi' Courts, according to the amount of actual damages which had i osulted from such failure. Note. — Any questions as to legal liability on either side would, of course, be removed, if the form of Teachers' Contract-Agreement, published by Messrs. Copp, Clark & Co. , Toronto, had been used. 82.— Mandamus for Rate for Salary. (Sec 15, ch. «., page 71.) The Court of Common Pleas has decided the following case : "The Court refused a rule nisi for a mandamus to the trustees to levy a rate to pay the applicant the balance of his salary as teacher, recovered in the Division Court against former trustees, it not apnearing when, for how long, and by whom the said teacher was employed." — O'Donohoe v. School Trustees of Section No. 4, Thorah, 5 C. P. 297. 33.— Baforcemont of Agreements. (Sec 15, ch. ix., page 71.) The Court of Queen's Bench has decided the following case : " A school teacher sueerly require them to occupy a form or seats by themselves, and to maintain a respectful demeanor, subject to the usual penalties for disobedience. (Minister's Decision, 1878.) 36.— Power of Teachers as to Rules. (Sec. 6, ch. ix., page 63.) A.11 special rules not specified or directly authorized in the Official Regulations, which may be adopted in a school, must first have the sanction of the trustees before they can be lawfully enforced by the teacher. Note. — This decision of the Department, as intimated in clause i of sec. 5 (page 63), is frequently overlooked by a teacher, and, in many cases, involves hi.'a in unnecessary troul)le and litigation. The teacher is merely an officer or agent of the trustees, and possesses no powers, except those conferred upon him by statute, Departmental regulations, or by the trustees themselves. All rules, therefore, which he enforces should have the sanction of law, regulation, or the authority of the trustees. 37.— Unauthorized Text Books Illegal. (Sec. 18, ch. ii., page 23; sec. 4, ch. xiii., page 82.) The regulations in this matter have been made more stringent. In addition to the law as given on pages indicated, no new authorized SCHOOL REOISTBBS. IS t^xfc book can bo introduced into a school nnloss by conaent of th« tniatees and inspector. (Ke^lations, 1879.) ^ ""* 38. -School Begiflters. (Sec. 19, ch. ii.. page 23 ; sec. 9, ch. ix., page 67.) The two regiHters required to be kept ]n each school will hereafter l^ furnzBhed gmtuitously through the In«poctor and 17 d rectum the Department. (Ertixnatea, 1878.) (Regulations ) ill CHANGES IN PAET II. REVISED SCHOOL LAW. 1. — County Councils and their Officers. 1.— County School Treasurers. (Sec. 12, ch. i., page 114.) The law has been harmonized so that the county assessment, as well as the county school grant, shall be paid out by the county treasurer owers of rural school trustees, and the obligations upon municipal councils, which the Act of 1879 has introduced, may })e briefly stated to hi : 1. The power of rural trustees to raise moneys by rate for any of the school purposes of their section has been taken away 2. Rural trustees are now required, as a preliniinaiy to their recjuisition on a township council, to submit their estimate* of the 8\im necessary for the purchase of a school site, the erection and enlargement (not renaii's) of the school house atid premises, and the , purchase or erection of a teacher's residence, to a vote of the rate- })tt,yers. (See page 4 of this publication.) 3. Formerly (and up to 1874), tinistees wer'^ only required to sub- mit the single question to their constituents as to whether they should apply to the township council, or employ their own authority, to levy Much rates as they considered necessary for all the school purposes of their section. Now all of such rates must, upon the estimate and reijuisition of the trustees, be raised by the township council. 4. As the law on this subject now stands it may be summed up as follows : (1) For the annual current expenses of a rural school section, the township council, on the estimate and requisition of the trustees of a school section, sent through the township clerk, can (in case of refusal to do so) be compelled by mandamus from either of the superior C!ourts of Queen's Bench or Common Pleas to raise the necessary rate by tax upon the ratable property oi the section. Note. — This estimate is not required to be submitted to the ratepayers for their approval, or even for their consideration. The trustees arc wholly responsil)le for this expenditure, and should submit it to the council on their own authority, with the necessary requisition. (2) For an expenditure on "capital account" for the purchase of a school site, purchase or erection of, or addition to, a school house * Forms of this raquisition can be obtained from MessM. Copp, Clark & Ca. or any bookseHer, for 5 cents. 16 PART 11. — CITY AND TOWN SCHOOI, TRUSTEES. or teacher's residence, the trustees must, before sending in their estimate and requisition, through the township clerk, obtain the con- Bent of the ratepayers to the proposed expenditure. But having obtained that assent, the township council, in case of refusal to raise the required sum, or authorize a loan for the same, can be compelled to do either by mandamus. N©TE I.- The rural trustees should, with their y,-timate and requisition for moneys on "capital account," transmit to the township council, through its clerk, a copy of the resolution adopted at a school meeting, approving of the proposed outlay. Note 2. — The debentures must be issued by the township council and not (even under its authority) by the trustees. In re Mclntyre and the Corporation of the Township of Elderslie, it is stated that the township by-law authorized the trustees of the school section, instead of the reeve, to sign the debentures. The tudge held that this was a fatal objection, notwithstanding that, in fact, the deben* Jures had been executed by the reeve. (27 C. P. 58. ) 6. — Surplus School Moneys. (Sec. 3, cl. 5, ch. viii., page 152.) An option has been given to the township councU to apportion surplus school moneys according to rate of salary given to teachers in the township, or (as other school moneys are apportioned) " according to the average attendance of pupils at each school during the year then last past." (Sec. 12, Act of 1879.) 7.— Surplus Municipal School Moneys. {Ibid.) The authority of municipal corporations to set apart moneys under the Municipal Jjoan Fund Scheme for educational purposes is derived from the Acts of 1874, second session, 38 Vic. cap. 29. The by-law may set apart such moneys for any educational purposes for which the municipality might lawfully set ap»ii{. other surplus money ; and under section 2, in case such money is not so "et apart, then the amount is to be invested and applied as other surplus money for educational purposes. On refe nee to sections 360 and 361 of the Municipal Act, page 1692, Revised Statutes, it would not appear that the money can be dealt with, except by being invested as thereby authorized, or loaned to school boards as therein appears. The 93, 94, 95 and 96 sections of the Public Schools Act show what further authority a municipal corporation has over these moneys, as well as funds derived from the Municipalities' Fund or Clergy Reserves. (Minister's Decision [981], 1879.) Note. — Sections 93 to 96 of the Public Schools Act, and section 360 of the Municipal Act, enable the township council to invest the moneys coming from the Ontario Municipalities' F'und, and to set it apart for educational purposes. The principal moneys cannot be lawfully divided amongst the different school sections, but the interest can be paid over to the school section from time to time. It would be illegal to pay over to the ratepayers personally, any interest or other moneys received from this fund. (Minister's Decision [3333], 1879.) TOWNSHIP COUNCILS — UNION SECTIONSI. 17 8 —Loans by Rural Trustees. (Sec 7, ch. vili., page 154.) A council must, on tlie estimate and requisitiou of rural si;hool trustees, sent through the township clerk, authorize them to make 3uchi a loan as thej may require, and as may be sanctioned l)y a school meeting. The council must, after receiving the requisition, accom- j)anied by an intimation of the consent of the meeting, issue deben- tures for the sum to be borrowed for any reipiii-ed }>eriod, not exceeding twen+y years. (Sec. 29, ch. 4, Act of 1879.) Note. — The debentures must be in the form authorizetl by law, and as provided by Messrs. Copp, Clark & Co., Toronto. 9.— Trustees Application to Council. (Sec. ii, ch. viii,, page 157.) No. 4 in this section (11, page 157), may be omitted, and the note must be modified in accordance with the change in the law. The trustees must now ask the consent of the ratepayei-8, and iutimate such consent to the town.ship council, tlirough its clerk. Note. — See decisions of the suivrior Courts, Nos. i and 4, ch. ix., pages 159 and 160, Part II. 10.— Equalising Assessments. (Sec. 2, cl. D and sec. 14, ch. iv., pages 123 and 134.) The provision requiring reeves and inspectors to equalize the assess raents in union school sections has been repealed, to take effect on the Ist of January, 1880. The one hundred and thirty-fifth section of the Public Schools Act [authorizing the equalization of assessments in union school sections and divisions] shall become of none effect, and be repealed on and after the first df».y of January next [1880J, and the provisions con- tained in the one hundred and thirty-seventh section and the several sub-sections thereof, sliall thenceforth api»ly to and govern all union sections. (Sec. 18, Act of 1879.) Note. — The 137 section will be found in sections 3-8, ch. iv., Part II., pages 128 and 130. See also pages 134 and 135 of the same. il.— Union Section Alteration- (Sec. 8, cl. r. h., am! six:. 9, d. 2, ch. i\ , pages 1 30 and 131.) Tlie School Act of 1879 gives legal efi'oct to the int'srprotation of the Act contained in the clauses named on pages 130 and 131, Part II. It provides that : "A union school section may be altered so that a part of the s.ame may he withdrawn by the council of (he municipality, in its discretion, in which such part is situate, without %vithdrawing the whole portion of such municipality forming the union, in case such alteration is petitioned for by a majority of the .isscssed free- holders and householders of such part ; and the one hundred and fortieth section of the Public Schools Act shall bo construed to ajiply .ilso to the ca.se of an alteration of the boundaries of a union school section, where a part only of the portion in cither municipality Is withdrawn by the council thereof" (Sec. 17, Act of 1879.) 3 18 PART II. — CITY AND TOWN SCHOOL TRUSTEES. Note. — Where a township council desires to take from existing school sections so as to add to the area of a union school section, two steps are necessary under the Public Schools Act : I. Under sections 81-86, as to aiterin^j the bound.aries of existing school sections within the township ; and 2nd, under aection 140, for altering the boundaries of a union school section. The first would require action l)efore the ist of May, the second before the period of three months before the 1st of Janua-y following. (Minister's Decision [1 1645], 1879.) 12. — Union Sections, where Taxable, &c. (Sees. 13, 17 and 18, ch. iv., pages 134 and 136.) . Tlie School I^w of 1879 declares that : " In the case of a union school section composed of parts of two or more muni- cipalities, the union school section shall be held for the purposes of inspection, taxation, the borrowing of moneys, and for all school purposes as within the town- ship, town, or village, in which the school house of the union is situate." (Sec. 16, Act of 1879.) Note. — This provision is simply an amplification of the old law, as explained on pages 135 and 136, Part II,, Revised School Law. 13.— Township Assessor and Separate School Supporters. 1 . In any caae where the tni8tersona who are the supporters of separate schools in such municipality, tiie assessor shall accept the statement of, 01 made on b<.^half of, any ratepayer that lie is a RoTO.an Catholic, as sufficient jrrima facie evidence for phunng such person in the proper column of the assessnient roll for separate school supporters, or if the as-sessor knows personally any ratepayer to be a Roman Catholic, this shall also bo sufficient for placing liiin in such last mentioned column. (Sec. 26, cl. 3, Act of 1879.) 2. Any person who, if resident in the municipality, would l>e entitled to be a supporter of any separate school in such mimicipality, in giving notice under section three of the Assessment Act, that he is the owner of unoccupied land in such municipality, may also require that sixch land be assessed for separate school purposes in such muuici[)ality, if a separate school exists therein; and the assessoi- shall thereu[)0UL enter such pei"son in the assessment roll as a separate school supporter, and tlie proper entries in that behalf shall be mad«; in the prescribed column for separate school rates ; and such land shall be assessed accordingly for separate school rate-s, and not for public school purposes. (Sec. 25, Act of 1879.) III. — Township Boards in Organizbd and Unorganized Townships. 14.— Election of Township School Boards. (.Sec. 6, ch. vii., page 147.) The law regulating the nomiiuition and election of members of township school boards, is now identical with that relating to the t'm'^'^si^.m TOWNSHIP BOARDS — CITY AND TOWN COUNCILS. 19 election of school ti-ustees in cities, towns and villages, wLich will \>e found on pages 22 of this {)ublication. Norii.— Set; also the law specially affecting the election of township boards in unorganized townships (sec. lo, Act of 1879), sec. 16 below. 15.— Powers of Township Boards. (Sec 9, ch. vii., page 148.) In addition to the provision in sec. 9 (page 148, Part II.), the School Act of 1879 declares that : ' ' The public school board of any township may exercise and enjoy all the rights and powers of trustees of rural school sectiouj-. under the provi'^ions of the Public SchtK)ls Act, as well as those of public, schools in cities and towns ; and in cases where the public school board was established before the second day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, the period of five years after which a by-law for the repeal thereof may be submitted, shall be taken to begin from the time when the public school board was originally established." (Sec. 19, Act of 1879.) Note. — The township school trustee must be an asse^ . 1 resident in the muni- cipality. 16.— Schools in Unorganized Townships. (Sec 11, ch. vii., page 149.) The defects pointed out and as explained in section 11 (page 149), have been remedied by the School Act of 1879. It declares that : "The thirty-third section of the Public Schools Act is hereby amended so as to read as follows : ' In municipalities composed of more than one township, but without county organization, it shall be optional with the municipal council thereof to forni portions of the townships comprising the municipality into school sections, or to establish a board of public school trustees, two members being elected for each ward, and if not divided into wards, two for each township thereof; and such board shall possess all the powers and duties of townisiiip boards, and shall also upon the petition of at least five heads of families, provide school accommodation and a teacher for their children and others.'" (Sec. 10, Act of 1879.) NoTB 1. — Where township boards have been formed under the 33rd section of the Public Schools Act, the township council concerned can revise their action and take advantage of this section as amended above, so as to make it applicable at the end of the year. (Minister's Decision, [11381], 1879.) Note 2. — The township clerk can act as returning officer of the election of a township board, if so appointed. He need not make a declaration of office. (/did, [7147].) IV. — City, Town and Village Councils and their Officers. 17.— Councils to raise School Moneys. (Sec. 6, ch, x., page 169.) For all purposes of the annual current eorpendUure of boards of school trustees, the city, town or village council is required, as formei'ly, to raise such sums as the board may require, as per their estimate and re(juisition ;* but this obligation does not refer to loans or taxes for expenditure on ** capital account," viz., for (1) Purchase of a school site. * A form of thiookseller, for 5 cent*. 20 PART II. — CITY AND TOWN SCHOOL TRUSTEES. (2) Erection or purchase of a school hotise or other school accom- inodation. (3) Erection of addition to school house or other school accom- modation. (4) Erection or Purchase of a teacher's residence. Note I. — The estimate should l>e in the form providetl, and should be specific so far as the nature or ol/|ecl of each service is concerned, and also as to the total amount, so that the council may know accurately the respective purposes and amounts. {Minister's Decision [6425], 1879.) Note 2. — The council cannot review an estimate or requisition, if properly made by a school board upon it. (I/>id,) Note 3. — By the 90th section of the School Act, the council must raise an e(}uivalent, at least, to the legislative grant ; this, however, should be taken note ot, or included in the trustees estimate and requisition, (/bid.) Note 4. — The municipal treasurer should keep a separate account of public school moneys raised by the council, so that it can be drawn upon at any time by the public school board. {Ibid.) Note 5. — In case of refusal to raise this rate, the council can, by mandamus, be compelled to do so. (See decision of the Courts, page 171, Part II.) 18.— Option of Council to Baise Money on "Capital Aooount." (Sec. 7, ch. X., page 170.) The Act of 1879 gives the council the option to i-efuse to act upon the estimate and requisition of the board for expenditure on capital account. It says that where a "school corpoitition may, by law, require the municipal council to raise or borrow a sum of money for the purchase of a school site, or the erection or purchase of any school house, or addition thereto, or other school accommodation, or for the purchase or erection of a teacher's residence, such municipal council amy refuse to raise or borrow any such sum, when it is so resolved by a two-thirds vote of the members present at the meeting of the council for considering any by-law in that behalf." (Sec. 29, Act of 1879.) Note i. — The council has no power to " alter or amend " the trasteea' estimate in any particular, or reduce the gross amount required. It may accept it by a vote of the majority present, or reject it as a whole by a two-thirds vote, but it cannot otherwise deal with it. Note 2. — The application of the 29th section of the Act of 1879, is limited, at all events, during I079, ^s follows : "The provisions contained in tie twenty-ninth section and the several sub- sections thereof (except sub-section four, relating to date of debentures), shall not apply to any case where the trustees of any high or public school corporation, before the passing of this Act, nth March, 1879, shall have resolved upon incurring any expenditure for any of the purposes in the twenty-ninth section men- tioned, or where they have entered upon or incurred, or have become liable for any such expenditure ; and in any such case the said trustees shall retain, jjossess and exercise all the same powers and rights, as if the said twenty-ninth section and the sub-sections thereof (except sub-sectiou four) had not been enacted."
