THE CRICHTON SCHOOL, 
 
 1160, Sherbrooke Street, 
 
 (Until Christmas— 289, Pekl Street.) 
 
 MONTREAL.

tlbe Cncbton School, 
 
 /^HE Crichton School has been organized to meet 
 ^^ the growing need, in the west end of the city, of a 
 school equipped after the highest modern standards. 
 Supplementing the public school system, it seeks to pro- 
 vide for a limited number of boys a complete course of 
 instruction on the model of the best secondary schools. 
 
 Syrjejcial Pfjcatuvjcs. 
 
 Premises. — The situation is most desirable and con- 
 venient. The buildings are new, and have been specially 
 constructed for the use of the school. They include a 
 suite of v;ell-heated, lighted and ventilated class-rooms, 
 a laboratory for practical work in physical science, and 
 a large hall for physical training and public meetings. 
 The tiling, marble work and other fittings of the lava- 
 t-^ry, and the whole drainage and plumbing system are 
 in keeping with the requirements of the best sanitary 
 engineering. Adjoining the school buildings is a large 
 plot of ground for tennis and other out-of-door recreation. 
 
 Discipline — The formation of character is one of 
 the chief aims of the school. Boys are, therefore, always 
 placed upon their honour. They are expected to give 
 cheerful and prompt obedi^^nce, and to conduct them- 
 selves in all respects in a gentlemanly manner. Corporal 
 punishment is prohibited. The only punishment permit- 
 ted is detention after school hours, mainly to allow the 
 
completion of any unfinished work of the day. Thus, 
 only boys of irreproachable character a. id courteous be- 
 haviour are received ; and any one, who, after due trial, 
 is found not amenable to such discipline, will be requested 
 to leave. 
 
 The school is purely unsectarian, but no effort is 
 spared to awaken a sense of the supreme importance of 
 conduct and to instil a knowledge of the rules of right 
 living. In all the classes the study of the Bible, as the 
 best means thereto, forms part of the regular work. 
 
 Small Classes. — The most distinctive feature of 
 the school is its system of grading and small classes. 
 To reach the best results, educational and otherwise, 
 small classes are necessary. The six classes, therefore, 
 into which the school is divided are limited in number 
 to 12. The pupils are thus carefully graded and placed 
 only where each can do his best. The advantages of a 
 public school and private tuition are thus combined : 
 
 there 
 fricti^ ; 
 dual 
 dange. 
 large clas. 
 
 .jer sufficient to produce that amount of 
 healthy ; each receives constant indivi- 
 'le comfort of all is increased; and the 
 :mg infectious diseases, to which the 
 the public schools are exposed, is 
 
 reduced to a minimum. 
 
 Standard of Work. — A hi^'i standard has been 
 set for the school. As, however, intellectual power and 
 systematic habits of work are more important than the 
 mere storing of the memory with a smattering of know- 
 ledge, thoroughness in a few subjects is sought rather 
 than a superficial knowledge of many. For the present, 
 the work of the highest class will be that set for the 
 
i^va 
 
 Advanced A.A. examination of McGiil university. For 
 excellence in this examination the gold medal of the 
 school will be yearly awarded on certain conditions. 
 
 Commercial Education.— For boys not intended 
 for college, special provision has been made. Bi't, as 
 the best preparation for business is a thorough, all-round 
 education, the lines followed are those laid down by the 
 London and other Chambers of Commerce who have 
 carefully considered and reported on the subject. On 
 entering the Middle School, boys not needing Greek 
 take German instead, and extra work in English, French, 
 mathematics, or science, for part of ihe pre cribed Latin. 
 They will be prepared to pass the senior ^examination 
 of the London Chamber of Commerce, for excellence in 
 which a special prize will be awarded. 
 
 Physical Training.— In the new buildings an.ple 
 provision has been made tor this important branch of 
 educational work. A large hall is available for the pur- 
 pose ; and lessons in military drill and gymnastics by a 
 competent instructor will form part of the regular work 
 of all the classes. 
 
 Reports. — Reports on conduct and progress are 
 issued weekly. 
 
 goavmn© §tpTxvtmtnt. 
 
 The boarding department of the school is at 705, 
 Pine Avenue, the residence of the P.ector, distant from 
 the school about ten minutes walk and two minutes 
 walk from the street cars. 
 
Tne house is thoroughl> l , rrn and stands on t'lo 
 mountain slope, in Its owi grounds. The situation is 
 one of the most beautiful in the city. On all sides there 
 is ample scope, and the greatest facilities for winter 
 
 sports. 
 
 Superior accommodation is provided for a horne 
 school of len boys. A separate quarter of the house is 
 reserved for theii exclusive use, with large, airy and well 
 lighted bed-rooms and its own reading and sitiing-rooms. 
 
 The boys are under the direct charge of the Rector, 
 and all their work is done under careful supervision. 
 Only boys of irreproachable character are received. 
 References are required from all applicants for admis- 
 sion, and preference is given to boys under 13 years of 
 age. 
 
 Weekly Boapl '.rs.— For the convenience of city 
 boys who may desire the advantage of the extra work 
 and supervision implied in residence, arrangements may 
 Se made for spending Saturday and Sunday of each 
 week at home. 
 
 ©attjjjtctttttm. 
 
 Primary Department. 
 To increase its efficiency, a preparatory department 
 has been added to the school, for boys from 8 to 11 
 years of age, which will meet by itself. A thorough 
 grounding in elementary subjects will thus be secured, 
 and time saved for higher work in the upper school. 
 
6 
 
 Secondary Department. 
 The course of study includes languages, ancient and 
 modern, history with geography, mathematics and natural 
 science. And, that each subject may yield the best 
 training possible, it is studied consecutively for several 
 years ; every boy being expected to do thorough work 
 and distinguish himself in some department. 
 
 Classics. — Latin forms part of the daily work of all 
 the classes. But, in the senior school, its place may 
 be partly taken, if desired, by additional work in modern 
 languages, mathematics or science. Greek, however, is 
 optional, and intended mainly for those who need it for 
 entrance to the universities. The time usually given 
 to Greek is mainly devoted to modern languages. 
 
 Modern Languages. — English in all its branches 
 receives careful attention. All other studies are made 
 to contribute to a training in English. Special prom- 
 inence is given to composition and essay writing ; while, 
 to cultivate a taste therefor, a course of reading has 
 been selected comprising some of the best specimens of 
 of English literature. 
 
 French has a prominent place. A thorough know- 
 ledge of grammar is taught by the most approved 
 methods ; while, by constant practice in rendering 
 passages from French into exact and idomatic English 
 and from English into French, and in reading aloud 
 from standard authors, pupils learn to compose correctly, 
 read ordinary authors at sight, and converse with some 
 degree of ease and fluency. 
 
 German is optional with Greek, and is studied in the 
 same way as French.

History and Geography.— The work in history 
 comprises the history of England, an outline sketch of 
 the history of modern Europe, Rome and Greece, to- 
 gether with a more minute study of some special periods. 
 Geography, physical, political, or commercial, forms part 
 of the regular work of all the classes. 
 
 Mathematics.— The course in mathematics is at 
 once comprehensive and thorough. It comprises the 
 arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, &c., usually 
 read only in the best secondary schools. The work is 
 so arranged as to call into vigorous exercise the mental 
 activity of each pupil. The teaching is largely practical, 
 and every branch of the subject is made to contribute to 
 the development of intellectual power and insight. 
 
 Science.— For the present, physical science, apart 
 from physical geography, will be taken up during the 
 last two years of the course, and, in addition to the pre- 
 scribed text book, a certain amount of practical labor- 
 atory work under proper guidance will be required.

 Only boys of irreproachable character are received. 
 Absolute truthfulness, prompt obedience, courteous and 
 correct behavior are required from all. Any one who, 
 in the opinion of the Rector, is found habitually to fall 
 short in this respect, will be liable to dismissal. 
 
 In the absence of an express agreement to the con- 
 trary, pupils are enroll2d only for the whole school year 
 or for what remains of it from the date of their admission. 
 
 Pupils will be held responsible for any damage done 
 to the furniture, apparatus, or otherwise, on the school 
 or house premises. 
 
 The work of each class is so arranged as to lead up 
 to that of the class immediately above it. Promotion 
 will, therefore, depend on the degree of efficiency attain- 
 ed by any one in the work of the class to which he 
 belongs. 
 
 On the outbreak of any infectious disease in a family 
 connected with the school, the members of it in attend- 
 ance must be immediately withdrawn, or sufficiently 
 isolated, until a medical certificate is produced that all 
 danger of infection is removed. 
 
 Regularity of attendance is expected. No one is 
 allowed to be absent without leave of his parent or 
 guardian ; and a note explaining his absence is in every 
 case necessary on his return. 
 
 The school year lasts from the second week in Sep- 
 tember to the middle of June, with an interval of a 
 fortnight's holidays at Christmas and such occasional 
 holidays as the Rector may appoint.
