PREFACE.

THE issue of a new Edition of this Manual, which for some time has been out of print, has been deferred in consequence of the introduction of the Elementary Education Bill of last session. The Bill having now passed, the Act has been included in this volume, and the notes on the several Statutes which had previously been prepared have been revised in connection with it. The provisions of the Municipal Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Practices) Act, so far as they are applicable to School Board Elections, have been added. Amended Rules and Regulations which have been issued since the date of the previous edition are also included. Large additions have been made to the notes, with reference to decisions of the Courts, and points which have arisen in the practical working of the Education Acts.

I have been obliged to avail myself of assistance in carrying the book through the press and the preparation of the Index, and I have to acknowledge the aid thus rendered.

HUGH OWEN.
