THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE 29 On the 30th of June, 1927, there were 1,796 school municipalities in the province, of which 1,445 were Roman Catholic and 351 Protestant. In a municipality where there are ratepayers of various religious beliefs the minority may organize themselves into a separate municipality for public school purposes, electing an administrative board of three trustees. The schools of the majority in each municipality are administered by an elective board of five commissioners. These trustees or commissioners, as the case may be, levy taxes for school purposes on the supporters of the schools they represent. It is usual to find a board of commissioners Public School at Temiskamir and a board of trustees in the same municipality, but in cities like Montreal and Quebec and some others with special charters, as well as where boards represent Catholics only or Protestants only, there may be two boards of commissioners. This dual system of schools, divided according to relioion. has been in effect since 1846 and functions well. Higher Education.—There are three grades of schools: primary, secondary and university. The primary course is intended to cover the first eight years of school life. The Catholic Primary schools are divided into five categories, namely Maternal schools, Primary Elementary schools (formerly known as Elementary and Model schools), Primary Comple- mentary schools (formerly known as Academies), Primary Superior schools
