A'i,;. ^i... :/.= J,v,, „ ■ PREFACE. The Imperial Act which gave Canada her new charter, placed the great and vitally important function of providing for the instruction of the young in the ki'eping of the several Provincial Legislatures. But although the Local Parliaments alone may make laws on Education, it can never be less than a matter of high National consequence ; the voter in Prince Edward Island influences the legislation that affects British Columbia ; every lover of his country must be interested in 'the moral, intellectual and material condition of the remotest districts, as well as of his own province, and a due provision for public instruction in every part is an essential element in a true national progress. < . The book which is now submitted to the public is an attempt to assist those who feel an interest in the welfare of the country, and especially in its scholastic institutions, to inform themselves of what is being done in this regard. Since the Union Act of 1867, all the older provinces have revised their legislation on the subject, and the younger members of the Confederation have laid new foun. dations. There are doubtless still many deficiencies, but we may point with some pride to the equipment in both the elementary and the higher walks of learning, and to the intelligent liberality of the people in providing the neces- sary appliances, in a country by no means wealthy, and the foundations of whose institutions have been so recently laid. Owing to the divisions of religious opinion, the systematic daily teaching of children in religion is much impeded. The State is generally prevented from giving much more than a secular education, but it throws — in Canada at least — no obstacles in the way of the Church ; it rather encourages her to do the work for which she was commissioned, and which may not be done by the agency of the secular power. yI preface. The LegifllaturoB havo done what they could. Th«y have, aided in Homo caseH hy endowments, provided for the intellectual culture of the youth of the country BO far as secular studies are concerned ; if their religious culture is neglected, the fault will bo solely with the churches — clergy and people together. And the fault will be of grave import, for whether in religious or in secular teaching, youth is the golden time, and to allow children to be deprived of religious in- struction cannot be a less wrong, both to them and to the country, than to neglect their secular learning. The future can only be propitious if both Church and State shall do their duty in se*ng that not only the well-to-do, but every class of the people is reached by the influente of a sound system of education, both secular and religious. The account here given of tho Universities and Schools, and the Digests of the School Laws and Regulations, have been compiled with great care, and, although much compressed, it is hoped will be found sufficiently full to be of service, and to give an accurate view of the system pursued in each province. Efforts were made to secure full information, and with a few exceptions they succeeded. If, however, the publication is continued in a subsequent year, it may no doubt be improved, and the Editor will feel indebted for any intelligence or suggestions that may reach him from any quarter. The matter has been culled from many sources, but chiefly from ofiicial documents. Many of the early historical references and annals are taken from an Essay by Dr. Hodgins, Deputy Superintendent of Education for Ontario.* The Superintendehts of Education in other provinces, and some of the Heads of Colleges and Schools have sent information which has been inserted. Thanks are also due to Inspectors of schools in Ontario, who in the midst of their press- ing and multifarious duties have found time to obtain some facts for the book. The Adjutant-General, Colonel Powell, and the Inspector of Asylums, Mr. Lan^j- muir, have kindly responded to inquiries. To any who have given their aid, and to the Printer for the pains taken with a somewhat difficult task, a cordial acknowledgment is rendered. * Published in "Eighty Years' Progress of British North America." Use has also bee^ made of the valuable Educational Directory compiled by Thomas Hodgins, Eeq., Q.C., in 1857. NOTE.

L&n^r- leir aid, cordial Since the foUoMring pages were printed, a Bill has been introduced and is now passing through the Legislature of Ontario, by which the functions of the Coun- cil of Public Instruction are suspended, and their powers and duties transferred to the Education Department, such Department to consist of the Executive Council or a Committee thereof. The functions and duties of the Chief Super- intendent are vested in one of the sivid Committee, to be designated " The Min- ister of Education," who may also be a member of the Legislature. It has been announced that, in accordance with this Bill, the Rev. Dr. Ryerson retires from the position of Chief Superintendent, which he has held for more than thirty-one years, and that the Hou. Adam Crooks, Q.G., M.P.P., will be appointed Minister of Edu<5ation. * The members of the Executive Council are the Hon. O. Mowat, Premier, Hon. A, Crooks, Hon. T. B. Pardee, Hon. 0. F. Fraser, Hon. S. C. Wood. In reading the digests of laws for Ontario^ therefore, as contained in this book, it will be neceasary to substitute " Minister of Education " and " Education Department " for " Chief Superintendent " and " Council of Public Instruction," respectively. ^ Sherbourne Street, Toronto, January, 1876. also bee, in 1867.

Annals of Legislation and Progress. I.— From 1789 to the School Act of 1850. In the year 1 789, Governor Lord Dorchester, acting on a memorial represent- ing the deficiency of means of instruction for the young, caused the Surveyors- Oeneral to set apart endowments of land in all new townships for schools, but for a long time no revenue was available from this source. The Provinces of ITpper and Lower Canada were established by Parliament in 1791, John Graves .Simcoo being the first Governor (1792) of the Upper Province. In 1795-6, the dovernor and the Bishop of Quebec endeavoured to move the Imperial Govejn- laent to provide for the establishment of schools ; and in 1797, on a memorial from the Provincial Legislature, the Imperial Government proposed the establishment of free district Grammar Schools, and in du^ time of Colleges. The chief provin- cial officials presented to the Governor in the foUovvingyear a report recommend- ing a grant of 500,000 acres of land for four Grammar Schools — one for each district — and for a University at York (Toronto) ; also a grant of ^£3,000 to each District for buiklings for the iichool and the Master. The Rev. J. Strachan ar- rived to take charge of the College in December, 1799, but found that the pro- ject was abandoned and the Governor was gone to England. The Grammar School scheme was given up in conse(pience of there being no revenue from tlie endowment. Mr. Strachan having been ordained in 1803, openeil a school at Cornwall in the following year, which afterwards attained celebrity. Classical Schools had previously been established at Cataraqui (Kingston), by the Rev. Dr. Stuart (1785), and at Newark (Niagara), by the Rev. .vlr. Addison (1792), aa 1 the Rev. Mr. Burns (1794). A school was also supported by the King at Mohawk, Grand River, for the Six Nation Indians, and there were in those early days, a few other schools kept here and there, at the military posts. In 1806-8 Acts were passed establishing a Grammar School in each of the eight Districts into which the Province was then divided, and granting £100 per annum fur the master, who was to be nominated by trustees appointed by the Governor, whose sanction was also required of the teacher's appointment. In 1815 the Midland District School Society was incorporated. During this time, while efforts were being made to provide for the higher in- struction of the few, there was no system devised for providing a plain education for the general population. But in 1816 an Act for the establishment of Common Schools was passed, and £6,000 annually set apart to aid them. The people of each Town, Village and Township were authorized to meet and elect three trus- tees, who should appoint a teacher, make regulations, and select textbooks from a list prepared by a District Board of Education, to whom they were to report. No PROVINCE OF ONTAKIO. I- School was tu have less thnn twenty pupils ; the grant was limited to £25 ; the remainder of the sum required was to be made up by subscription, and no rate bills or assessments were authorized. After a trial of this law for four years, an Act was passed in 1820 reducin- the grant from 924,000 to $10,000 ; the amount for • ich district being $1,000, uiill the master's allowance reduced from $100 to $50. An additional Uriimmar School was provided for in 1819, and the nine schools were enjoined to hold annual examinations ; to report to the Governor ; and to educate ten ( 'ommon School pupils free of charge. When the pupils in attend- ance were not more than ten, the grants were to be reduced from £100 to £50. Sir Peregrine Maitland, in 1823, obtained permission from the Imperial Gov- ernment to establish a Board of Bxlucation for the Province, with power to .sup- erintend the Schools and manage the University and School lands. In l^^l.'-^, the operation of the Act was extended to .schools for the Indians, not already provi- ded for ; also for the examination of teachers by County Boards. On 4tb Jamiary, 1830, Upper Canada College was opened. In 1831 the Assembly recommended a grant of £4,400 annually for eleven free Grammar Schools, and £2,000 for a Provincial Seminary at York. £50 were also to be given for a school for each of the 132 Townships. In 1832, the Provincial Board of Education ceased, and the lands were resumed by the Crown. In 1836, a (Commission, consisting of Drs. Duncombe, Morrison, and Brace, was appointed to examine School systems in the neighbouring States. Dr. Dun- combe performed this duty, and drafted a bill in which a grant ol $60,000 per annum was proposed for Commcii Schools. He observed in the United States the same defects, as to both Schools and Teachers, as in our own country. In 1839, partly in pursuance of the scheme proposed in 1831, the District Schools were converted into Grammar Schools ; five trustees for each to be ap- pointed by Government. A part of the University endowment and 250,000 acres of Crown Lands were set apar*^. for their support. Half the revenue of King's College, till it should be established.was granted to Upper Canada College. On condition of an equal sum being raised by the inhabitants, £200 was granted for the erection of the Grammar School in each District. Also £100 to each of four other Grammar Schools at least six miles from the County Town and having sixty scholars. In 1841 the Parliament of the United Provinces established a system of Com- mon Schools for Canada, with an annual grant of $200,000. In 1843, an Act applicable to the Upper Province was passed repealing that of 1841. In this Act both Protestant and Roman Catholic Separate Schools were permitted, as they had been, under some different conditions, in the Act of 1841. The Rev, Dr. Ryerson, having been appointed Superintendent of Schools in 1844, undertook, as a preliminary measure, a thorough examination of European and American systems of education, and presented a Report, in which he sug- gested the principles upon which our system of schools was afterwards con- structed. In 1847, an Act was pas'sed providing for Common Schools in Cities and Towns. Instead of Separate Schools under a distinct management, the trustees could by this Act establish either denominational or mixed schools. The Normal School was established in Toronto the same year. The Act was rather hastily repealed in 1849 by a new Act, which, however, was found impracticable and could not be put into operation. In 1850 the comprehensive School Bill prepared by the Chief Superintendent was submitted to the Legislature by the Government, and became law. were In £25 ; the id no rat« lucitiL the lO, iintl the I no 8ch(«>ls r ; and to in attend- ) to £50. terial Gov- rer to sup- 1 1) Normal School), appointed by the Couijcil of Public Instruction. The Council was also authorized to appoint Inspectors, and fix their salaries. The schools were by this Act brought partially under tli« control of the Department, and general reg- ulations for their government were issued. The Council prescribed the subjects of the Matriculation Examination (with Honors) in the Faculty of Arts in the Toronto University, as the subjects of the Master's Examination. In 1855, after much controversy, another Roman Catholic Separate School Act was passed. In 1858 the Model Grammar School was established at Toronto, to exhibit the best system of mauHgement and teaching, and to serve as a training School for Grammar School Masters. The school did some good service, but its contin- uance was deemed unnecessary by the Government, and it was closed at mid- summer, 18(5.3. In Jarmary, February, and Maich, 1860, the Chief Superintendent visited every County, to consult the local school authorities and friends of education on any needed changes in the law, and to give any explanations desired. Three topics chiefly engaged the attention of these Conventions, viz : Vagrant Chil- dren, Free Schools, and the Grammar Schools. Resolutions were passed in the majority of the meetings in favour of introduc- ing the principle of compulsory education ; of compelling the County Councils to provide means for the support of the Grammar Schools, and of doing away with the necessity of the annual vote on the question of a free school, by enacting that all the Common Schools should be free. Other miscellaneous resolutions were also adopted in various places. In September, i860, H. R. H. the Prince of Wales visited Toronto and other parts of the Province, and evinced his desire to encourage education by founding prizes in some of the principal institutions of learning. In May, an Act was passed providing more effectually for School Trustee elections ; the formation of union sections ; the appointment of Auditors, and de- fining more particularly the powers of the Chief and Local Superintendents, the Trustees and Teachers. The Act secured greater regularity in the Trustees' ac- counts, and also enacted certain penalties for ofiFences. In March, 1862, the Chief Superintendent submitted to the Government a draft of Bill for providing for the education of neglected children, particularly in the cities and towns, by enlisting and aiding the efforts of benevolent associations or of churches, in promoting that object ; and in an accompanying memorandum he exhibited the increasing prevalence of juvenile crime, and the urgent need of PROVINCK OK ONTARIO. developing and encouraging voluntary n-ligions cfforta to stem tlio advancing tide. The Bill, however, was not enatte Scliool Law. By this Act, all the Public Schools were made free ; trustees were rompelled to provide adequate school accommodation ; the principle of compulsory education was introduced ; well-qualihed County Inspectors were substituted for townshij* superintendents, and their remuneration provided for. New County Boards of Examiners were constituted ; first and second class certificates, thereafter granted, were made valid during good behaviour. Further encouragement was given to the establishment of 'iownship Boards of Trustees ; the size of sections was regulated, and an appeal provided from the decision of the council in boundai v (juestions. The compidsoiy sale of a school site, where necessary, was alho l)rovided for. Matters of dispute between trustees and teachers were referred to the County Judge instead of to arbitrators. The Grammar Schools were to be designated High Schools, and the sanction of the Government required for any new Scliool. \. more effective way was provided for raising local funds for tludr support ; the minimum grant was increased from $300 to $400, and a Boai d uf Examiners for the admission of pupils was constituted. An additional sum of $750 j)er annum was granted to any High School which should attain to the standard required for a Collegiate Institute. Common Schools were now termed Public Schools. Industrial Schools were authorized ; all public school teachers were compelled to contribute to the Superannuation Fund, and other minor iniproveniei.ts were provided. The Council of Public Instruction also made the new regulations required by this law. In 1872, Mr. \V. McCabe, amemberof the Council of Public Instruction, offered a gold medal for the candidate who should be first in the Examination ot Teachers in 1873, which had the effect of inducing the Governuient to place a sum in the estimates of the following year for gold, silver and bronze medals to be annually awaided to the teachers who should take the best five positions in the first-class certificate examination. Two additional High School Inspectors were also appointed in 1873. A School Bill was brought in this year making further provision for raising funds for High Schools, the appointment of trustees, and the admission of pupils. The teachers of both High and Public 6 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. Schools were to be admitted to the superannuation allowance, and the amount in creased. Several improvements affecting the practical working of the school laws were also introduced. This measure, although it passed a second reading, was withdrawn in the Session of 1873, but was passed with amendments in 1874, when the whole school law was consolidated, and regulations thereupon adopted. The system of examinations introduced in 1871 has ameliorated the profession of teaching, giving it greater stability, with a nearer approach to uniformity of standaM in the examinations throughout the Province, whereas under the previous system great irregularity and laxity occurred in many of the counties. Another provision was introduced in the Bill of 1874, which had not previ- ously appeared, for the election of representatives of the teachers, of the colleges, and of the public school inspectors as members of the Council" of Public Instruction, as well as for a rotation of the members appointed by Government. It was also enacted that purchasers of books from the booksellers, for school purposes, should have the same grant allowed as purchasers at the official de- pository. Hitherto the privilege of receiviug^the aid of fifty per cent, added to local contributions for approved books, was confined to those who p\irchased from the Depository attached to the Department at Toronto. Since the establishment of that Depository, twenty-five years ago, books, maps, globes, and other appara- tus, to the value of $738,737, have been supplied to the Schools, of which the people have paid directly $435,846, aided by $302,891 from Legislative grants. The newly- constituted Council met on the 1st September, 1874, and resolved that their sessions should be private, as heretofore. Several sessions were held during 1874-1875, during which regulations for the Public, High and Normal Schools were adopted, including an improved mode of dividing the High School grant ; books were added to the approved lists; some steps were taken in the revision of the text-books in use, and resolutions were adopted respecting books treating of religion and morals, and books for the Separate Schools. Appointments to masterships in the Ottawa Normal School were made ; first-class certificates and medals were awarded, and teachers' pensions were granted. A committee was appointed to examine the Depository and its operations, but the Council finally resolved to request the Government to deal with that matter.

The expenditure in 1874, in- cluding a grant of $78,494, was $286,593. . . . The School System. I. — MunicipalUies and Fuhlic School Boards. The Municipal system of Ontario, which has been of the utmost value to the people as a school of self-government, has also been an effective ally of the school system, the municipal and school authorities in every locality being en- gaged in joint efforts for providing schools and raising funds for their support. The system has thus struck its roots firmly iu the country, and the government grant is now liberally supplemented by local taxation imposed by the people in their municipalities and sections, for the public schools, and in like manner the grant for the High Schools calls forth nearly three times its amount, in local aid. The Townships are divided by their councils into school set;tions as above stated, each of a suffici. tsize to support an efficient school, the dimensions being limited by law ; but if two thirds of the school sections so desire, there may be one school board of five for the whole Township, who may establish the schools required. Otherwise there are three trustees for tlie section, elected by the ratepayers. The trustees have very large powers : they appoint the teacher, who must, however, be duly certificated ; they fix his salary ; purchase a school-site, for which they can compel a sale ; build the school-house, and levy rates for all the funds that in their opinipn are required. They can have their rates levied by the Municipal authorities at their option. They may establish a circulating library, and may, with the con- sent of the township council, borrow money for school purposes. The Cities, Towns, and Villages have larger Boards, but their duties are simi- lar, except that in cities and towns they appoint their own Inspector. They do not themselves levy rates, but they make their requisition upon the Municipal Council, which is obliged to provide the sums according to the estimate of the trustees. The obligations of the trustees are as extensive as their powers. They incur personal responsibility for moneys lost to their section or municipality through any wilful neglect. They aie b'^und to provide adequate school accommodation (defined by regulation) for all children of school age ; to employ a sufficient num- ber of qualified teachers ; to permit all residents between the ages o^ five and twenty-one to attend school free of all charge (except an optional charge of twen- ty cent^ a month in Cities, Towns, and Villages, for text books and contingencies, and in certain cases for non-residents, at fifty cents per month) ; they must keep their schools open, and send to the Auditors, the Inspectors, and the Chief Super- intendent, the required accounts and reports. They must take a census of the children between seven and twelve years of age in tLoir bounds, and if any have not received instruction for four months in th" year, they must notify the parents, and if the neglect continue, are to impose a rate of a dollar a month for every 8 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. V:k ili such child, or complain to a magistrate, who may fine, and in default imprison. He may, however, remit the penalty, and report the result of his investigation to the trustees. In Cities,the Boards appoint the Examiners of Teachers, but their choice is restricted to those holding the certificate of eligibility. ^ In addition to their duties as to school boards and section boundaries and as- sessments, the Township Councils may provide libraries for the ratepayers, and aid education generally. County Councils are required to levy an amount equal to the Government grant, and both sums are set apart for teachers' salaries only. They also appoint duly certificated Inspectors and {)ay half their salaries, the remaining half being paid by the Government. Tliey may, under certain restrictions, dismiss the In- spector. They appoint the Examiners of Teachers from among those holding tlie required certificate, and pay their expenses, also School Auditors and^sub-treasui- ers. The county oflScers are also to furnish the Chief Superintendent with any information required. Similar powers are given to City, Town and Village Councils, so far as appli- cable. They may also pay the expense of sending meritorious pupils from the Public to the High School. -.•'-_ li .' . i. ,.; ; II. — Teacliers. — Ivspedws. — Exuminers. — Visitor's. — Separate Schools. None can be employed as a teacher or monitor unless he holds a certificate, and no teacher can be a trustee or inspector. He must manage his school according to the regulations. He is especially protected as to the payment of his salary, and in case of sickness. He must contribute $4 a year to a Superannuation Fund, and when sixty years of age, or earlier if disabled, he receives on retiring an annual pension reckoned at the rate of $6 for every year he has served, and $7 if he has held a I or II class provincial certificate. Provision is made for a i e- turn of all the subscriptions with interest if he die in service, and of half the sub- scription if he retire from service before superannuation. The subscription is voluntary in the case of female teachers. The Inspectors appointed by the County, City, and Town Councils have ex- tensive powers and duties. None can now receive the certificate of eligibility as Inspector unless he hold the highest grade of certificate as a Teacher. They must inspect every school twice a year ; apportion the school fund to the schools ; collect superannuation subscriptions ; act as chairman in examin- ing boards ; investigate, confirm or set aside rural school elections ; call meet iugs of ratepayers ; decide disputes ; prepare electors' lists for the Council elec- tions ; suspend teachers' certificates ; give temporary certificates ; give special certificates for remote districts ; give lectuies ; attend arbitrations ; report to the Chief Superintendent, and generally see that the regulations are observed. The Examiners of Teachers are those who have received certificates of eligibil- ity for that office, and have been appointed by the County Councils and City Poards. There are not less than three or more than five for each Board. They hold an animal written examination in July, their proceedings being prescribed by regulation. They examine candidates for II and III class certificates on pa- pers prepared by the Central Committee of Examiners appointed by the Council, and grant the certificates. The candidate? for I class certificates appear befoi e the same boards, and write their answers, which are then sent to the Education Office, as the I class certificate is granted only by the Council of Public Instruction on the recommendation of the Committee. A II class may also be so granted if any candidate for class I is recommended by the Examiners for class II. Teach- ers must give evidence of character and of their being subjects of Her Majesty, imprison, gation to but their • s and at>- yers, and vernment appoint lalf being >s the I li- dding tilt' b-treasur- witli any as appli- froni the lools.

The Chief Superintend- ent may also, on the report of the Committee, give certificates to teachers trained in the Normal Schools in the Province or elsewhere. Some grades of the old certificates are continued as valid notwithstanding the changed mode ot examination. Thare are school Visitors, consisting of the Clergy, the members of the Legis- lature and of the County and City Councils, who have certain powers, chiefly iv\ visory, in connexion with the Schools. The Roman Catholic Separate Schools have been noticed above ; their opera- tions are chiefly confined to the cities, towns, and some villages. A very few protestant and coloured separate schools are still kept up. III. — Collegiate Institutes and High Schools. . , , ,. , ,., The High Schools take pupils of both sexes, who pass a somewhat searching entrance examination, supervised by the Inspectors, in the fourth class work of the Public Schools, and give them a higher English or a classical course, with modern languages. The pupils are fitted for coUege^or for business. Certain of the High Schools, which have four masters and an average of 60 male classical pupils, are called Collegiate Institutes, and receive an extra graia of 1750 per annum. The grants to High Schools are paid half yearly, and vary with the attendance, but none receive less than $400 per annum. The grant, with a sum equal to half of it from the county, must be expended on teachers' salaries only. A system of payment has recently been adopted based on the efficiency of thf. Schools, taken in connexion with the attendance. This is to go into eiTect in 1876. Each High School has six trustees, three appointed by the Town and three by the County Council, but the town appoints all if it is separated from the county. Two trustees retire annually. A district is assigned to each High School, which must provide the means the trustees require for building and general expenditure. Some of the High and Public School Boards are united, with joint power.s ; but they may dissolve the union at pleasure, and no new unions are now allowed to be formed, as they are not regarded as advantageous. New High Schools can be established by the County Councils, on the execution of certain guarantees, if the need for such schools is satisfactorily shown, and if the funds permit, without diminishing other giants. The consent of the Government is necessary to the establishment of new High Schools. The Inspectors ot these schools, of whom there are now three, are required to make two annual visits to each school. In addition to the jiov. er of preventing unqualified pupils from being admitted, they exercise, for the most part, a simiLir authority in respect of High Schools to that ot Public School Inspectors over the Public Schools. Under the new mode of dividing the grants, the Inspectois will be enabled more thoroughly to test the ])roficiency of the pui»ilsand the gen- eral character of the school, and their report will more directly affect the amounts to be awarded. The Head-masters of High Schools must be graduates in arts of British or Col- onial Universities, who have proved their efficiency as teachers, and received a cer- tificate to that eflect from the Council of Public Instruction. Each school must also have a certif.cated assistant, or, in some cases, a certificated luonitor. The same protection as to payment of salary, and the same privilege of superannuation are extended to high school as to public school teachers of the 1st or 2nd class. The trustees are to appoint a sufficient number of qualified teachers, and see 10 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. I u lit: that the accommodations, furniture and apparatus are in accordance with the re- gulations. They are empowered to call upon the municipalities of their district for the funds they require. They must see that the proper text hooks are used, and the regulations ob- served ; they report to the Chief Superintendent. IV. — Religious Instruction. In both High and Public Schools it is provided that, at prayers and religious instruction, none are required to be present if the parent object, but the pupils may receive such religious instruction as the parents desire. Forms of prayer for opening and closing the schools are provided, and are generally used ; the Holy Scriptures are also read in most of the schools. The trustees are required to ar range that ministers of any denomination, or their representatives, shall have the use of their school-house at stated times for instructing the children of their re- spective persuasions, after the regular school hours, and as trustees are authoriEed to shorten the school hours at their discretion, such instruction can be imparted within the ordinary school day. V. — The Chief Superintendent and Council. ■.,.;,•., The Chief Superintendent of Education is appointed by the Lieutenant-Gover- nor, and holds office during pleasure. He apportions the Legislative Grant to the Municipalities according to population, and notifies the Provincial Treasurer and the municipal clerks thereof ; directs its distribution ; decides complaints ; makes deductions, if the proper assessments are not levied ; prepares forms and instruc- tions ; distributes the i*egulations and the law ; decides disputes arising under the Separate School Law ; appoints a Deputy, and also inspectors in special matters, and conductors of institutes ; provides plans for school-houses ; disseminates in- formation ; aids in the establishment of school libraries, granting an amount equal to the local contribution ; provides for and recommends the use of uniform and approved text-books. The Chief Superintendent also prepares general regulations for the sanction of the Council ; submits books for its approval ; prints a catalogue of approved books ; authorizes the payment of half the cost of approved books purchased for libraries or prizes ; and reports annually to the Legislature and the Government his accounts, the condition of the schools, and his suggestions. To secure uniformity in judicial decisions, the Chief Superintendent is author- ized to appeal to a Superior Court from any decision of a County Court on a school matter, and he has also the privilege of obtaining the opinion of a Judge, or of one of the Courts, on a case he may submit. The Council of Public Instruction consists of the Chief, or, in his absence, the Deputy Superintendent, eight members appointed by the Crown ; one member by each of the Colleges having University powers ; one by the masters and teachers of High Schools ; one by the Piibhc School Inspectors, and one by the Public and Separate School Teachers. Each member holds office for two years, and is eligible for re- appointment. The mode of election is specified by law. Three members form a quorum. The Council prescribes text books for the Normal, High and Public Schools, and makes their rules and regulations ; appoints the High School Inspectors, the Central Committee of Examiners, and the staff of the Normal and Model Schools. It prescribes the qualifications of inspectors, examiners and teachers ; grants cer- tificates to inspectors, examiners, high school head-masters, and public school teachers of the first and second class ; examines and approves of library and prize •» •• ih the rc- r district tions ob- religious ;he pupils jrayer for the Holy •ed to ar I have the f their re- •uthoriBed imparted int-Gover- •ant to the isurer and ts; makes id instruc- under the ,1 matters, linates in- unt equal liform and motion of approved ;hased for Ivernment lis author- lourt on a a Judge, [ence, the ?mber by teachers lublic and lintment.

Tho subjects of examination and inquiry shall be as follows :— The tenure of the proj)erty ; the materials, dimensions and plan of the building ; its condition ; play -ground ; gymnastic ap|)aratns ; if the premises are fenced or ojion ; if trees, shrubs or flowers are planted. The inspector is especially directed to see whethcir tlie law and regulations have been complied witli in regard to the following matters (sliould he discover remissness, he sliould at once call the attention of the trtistees to it, before withholding tlie school f\uid, with a view to its remedy before his next visit) ; — (o) As to the size of the school .section, (b) the school accommodation, (c) and wliother the required spaue of nine s(|uare foot on the fljor, and the average .s):)aco of one hundred cubic feet of air for each child have been allowed in the construction of the school-house ana its class rooms ; also, a proper well and necessary, conve- niences for both sexes. He shall see whether the authorized text books are used ; the state of discipline, the methods of Instruction, the attainments of the jiupils, and the general condition of the school must also be examined. The authority of an insjiector in a school Is supreme : and he .shall examine the cla.sse- and pujiils, and direct the masters or teachers to examine them, or to proceed with the usual exercises of the school, as he may think proper, in order that he may judge of the mode of teaching, management and discipline in the school, as well as of the progress and attainments of the pui)ils. In his intercourse with masters and teachers, and during his visits to their schools, the inspector should treat them with kindness and respect, counselling them privately on whatever he may deem defective in their manner and teaching. The inspector should see that the provisions of the School Act, in regard to the right of every child to attend .some .school, are not allowed to remain a deatl letter; but ho should, when necessary, frequently call attention to the subject, and examine the i^chool census. When an insiMJctor finds it necessary to suspend tho certificate of a teacher, he should not do so on the mere report of ini|)roper conduct or incompetency, but he sliould give tlie teacher due notice of the charge, and afford a full opportunity for defence ; and lie should also examine carefully into the alleged facts, and, if necessary, visit the school and assure himself personally of their truth before proceeding to suspension. fNoTR.— Officers required by law to exercise their judgment are not answerable for mistakes in law, or mere errors of judgment, without any fraud or malice.J The insjiector shall act as chairman of the ht)ard of examiners, and shall notify the Department, at least two weeks before the examination, of tho number of copies of examination papers required. The law requires county inspectors to decide upon complaints which may be made in regard to proceedings at school meetings, and not to dismiss the complaint or refuse to entertain it. If the proceedings he set a.side, a reasonable time should be allowed to permit the parties concerned to a])i)eal, before calling another meeting, or otherwise carrying out the decision of tho inspector. The decision should be given as soon as possible, but not necessarily within tho twenty days. A reasonable time may be taken by the inspector to inveitigate the com- plaint and to apply to the Chief Superintendent for advice. The inspector should prom|)tly adjudicate upon all cases su'imitted to him, after hearing both sides, and give such counsel and advice (In harmony with the law and regulations) aa shall, in his Judgment, beat promote the interests of the schools, and prevent disputes and litigation.

A pupil, on being admitted, must be examineil by the master or mistress, and placed in the class into which he is qualifled to enter. In all coses the order of mibjects in the programme must be followed, and the time prescribedlfor teachhig each subject per week must be observed, nor must any subject of the course be omitted, A class may be divided into two divisions. When the pupils enrolled in <• ^'ihool amount to more than fifty, the trustees must employ an assistant. The time allowed fur school-iviom study and recitation for each cla.ss is 28 hours per week. In the first and second classes, the lessons are designed to occupy half-an-hour at home every evening : in the third and fourth, from an hour to an hour-and-a-half ; and in the fifth and sixth, from an howr-and-a-halj to two hours.

A normal school was an elementary iti8titutt')ii, in which the h, it methods of instruction and discipline were practisefl, ai.'l ♦^^o which the candidate ov the office of teacher resorted, for the purpose of leaining by observation the moft approved modes of conducting the education of youth. Of this class were the schools of Nean- der, established in Germany, in the year 1570, as also those of the Abbe de Lasalle, at Rheims, in 1681. The normal school of the present day includes also the model or pattern school of earlier times. It thus combines theory with practice, there being model schools, " ex- perimental schools," or " sch jols for practice, as they are variously called, established in connection with them, to afford an opportunity for testing practically the modes of instruction which they inculcate. The first regularly organized teachers' seminary, or normal school, as at present un- derstood, was established at Halle, in a part of Hanover, about one hundred and fifty years ago. A similar institution was opened at Rheims, in France, in 1794, by ordi- nance of the National Assembly, to furnish professors for colleges and higher semina- ries. But the first normal school for the training of elementary teachers in France was organized at Strasbourg in 1810. Now, each department of the republic is obliged, either alone or in conjunction with other departments, to support one normal school for the education of its schoolmasters. In 1849 there were ninety -three of these schools in France, and ten thousand five hundred and forty-five of their graduates were actually employed in the primary schoob of the empire. M. Guizot, in a report to the King, in 1 838, on the state of primary education in the departments constituting the academy of Strasbourg, says : " In all respects the supe- riority of the popular schools is striking, and the conviction of the people is as general, that this superiority is mainly due to the existence of the normal school. " Prussia, in 1867, had fifty-seven normal schools, and one central institute /or trainiiig masters of iiormal schools. Normal schools were first established in FiUgland about the year 1805. There are over forty training colleges under inspection in England and Wales ; viz., seventeen for masters, twenty-two for mistresses, and one for both. These had 2,975 resident students in 1 874. Saxony had nine normal schools in 1848. with 362 pupil teachers, producing enough trained teachers to supply all vacancies. The prescribed course occupies/ottr years, and must be passed in order to obtain the teacher's certificate. The royal seminary at Dres- den, established in 1785, had as early as 1842 given its certificate to 655 teachers, and Mr. Kay, himself a graduate of Oxford, pronounced that the course of study was more liberal than nine-tenths of the undergraduates of either Oxford or Cambridge receive. In 1842 there was one thoroughly educated and trained teacher for every 588 inhabi- tants, and the teacher enjoys an excellent social position. Hesse Cassel, with 760,000 inhabitants, had three seminaries for teachers. Nassau, with 420,000, supported one, the cou:/:^*» of which comprised four years' study, and one year in the principles and the art of teaching. Hanover, with 1,790,000, supports seven, with a three years' course of study. There are ten in Bavaria, with 700 pupils. The oldest is Bambcry, founded in 1777 as a model school of the old type. In many of the German normal schools vocal and instrumental music is cultivated to the highest degree. The normal schools of the United States comprehend, firstly, the model, or pattern school of earlier times ; secondly, the professional characteristics of the European establishments of the present day, as far as circumstances will allow ; and thirdly, the academical features of the ordinary school. The first normal school in the United .States was opened at Lexington in 1839. A second was opened at Barre in September of the same year. There are now six in Massachusetts.

A now six in New York established a normal school in May, 1844. It has now eight. The state normal school of Michigan was established by an Act of the Legislature iu 1849, and opened in March, 1853. Illinois has five, and Pennsylvania six normal schools. The Provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have efficient normal schools, and, in the latter, all new aspirants for certificates, except graduates, are required to undergo a course of training. The establishment of a normal school for the training of teachers engaged attention in Upper Canada in 1836. But no detailed plan by which that object could be accom- plished was recommended to the Legislature until the presentation, in 1 846, of a Report on a Sydem of Public Elementary Instruction, by the Chief Superintendent. Practical effect was immediately given to these recommendations by the passing of a School Law appropriating 86,000 for furnishing suitable buildings, and an annual grant of $6,000 for the support of the normal school, and placing it under the management of a Board of Education and the Chief Superintendent. The Board, on its appointment in July, 1846, applied for permission to occupy the Government House at Toronto. The application was granted, and the normal school was opened on the 1st of November, 1847. The Legislature in 1850 appropriated $60,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of buildings, and an additional $40,000 in 1852— making in all $100,000. The comer- stone was laid on the 2nd July, 1861 , by the Earl of Elgin, Governor-General, and the premises were formally opened on the 24th November, 1852. On the 15th May, 1858, the normal school was removed int(;,i/— General. Grannnar— Hook work and analysis of some stiindard poetical work.

Certificates gx-anted by the Chief Superintendent to teachers trained in the Normal school, on the recommendation of the central committee of examiners and the principal, 1874-1875. (3.) Certificates granted by the Council of Public Instruction, on the recommend- ation of the central committee, 1871-1875. (4.) Certificates of the second-class granted by the county examiners, 1871- 1875. Note on Normal School Certificates. 2: 3 Prior to 1853, no provincial certificates were issued. The head master certified to the attendance and conduct of the pupils, but such certificates do not qualify the holders to become teachers in the public schools. During that year, three classes of certificates were granted, the first, second and third ; but the third-class certificates expired on Ist July and 1st November, 1854. In 1854-1855, only first and second-class certificates were granted, and were not divided into grades. From April 1850, to July 1871, the certificates granted have been of the first and second-class, but each class has been further divided into three grades, A, E and C. These certificates are all valid until revoked, but from April 1858 inclusive, all certifi- cates of the second-class, grade C, have been granted for one year only, so that the only valid certificates of that grade are those granted in 1856-1857. *At the Numial School Examination in June, 1871, the Central Comniittcu were associated with the Master of the Normal School.

The Semi- Annual Apportionment of the High School Grant, (section 66 of the Act). Beginning with the first half, or Jidy payment at 1870, the grant will be distributed aa follows ; I. A part in the payment of a fixed allmoance to each school, in order that the smaller schools niay,be assured at a certain degree of stability. II. A part on the baais of nveraye attendance. Each high school will receive a grant ))er unit of a\crago attendance, equal to the grant per unit of average to the public schools. At present the annual grant per unit to the public schools is about one dollar ; to the h'iif h schools heretofore about sixteen dollars. III. Ai)art on the results of inxpection.

In classifying tlie schools with a view to the distribution of the part of the grant which it is proposed to apportion on the results of inspection, account will be taken of the following ; (a) School acconunouation, condition of school premises, general educational appliances (mups, apparatus," &c.) (b) Number of ma.s'iers employed, as compared with the number of pupils and classes, qualifieatioris of mas- ters, character of the teaching, &c. (c) The character of the work done between the two limits mentioned below ; so thf-.t any school which, owing to the operatioi of special causes, may prepare but few pupils to pass the " Intermediate," will neverthe- less be rewarded for the thorough work which it may do below this higher limit. {d) The quantiti and quality of the work which may be done beyond the higher limit— i. e., by those pupils who shall coi\tiinie their .studies in the higher course prescribed for those who pass the intermediate exami- nation.

Pupils that pass this examination will form the upper school ; while those that have not passed it will form the lower school, hi anj hi"-h school or collegiate.institute.

Arthur Marling, M,A., University of Toronto. The first Inspectors were Mr. T. J. Robertson, M.A., and Rev. Dr. W. Ormiston, masters of the Normal School, who acted as joint inspectors during 1855-57. Dr. Ormiston was sole inspector in 1858, and continued in office during 1859-62, having as colleagues Mr. G. R. R. Cockburn, M.A. (1859-60), Rev. J. Ambery, M.A. (1860-62), and Rev. V/. F. Cleckley, M.A. (1862). Mr. Checkley was sole inspector for 1863, and the Rev. G. P. Young, M. A., from 1864 to April 1868. The Rev. J. G. D. Mackenzie, M.A., was then appointed and continued sole inspector till May, 1871, when Dr. James A. McLennan was associated with him. On the death of Mr. Mackenzie (March 1873), Messrs. J. M. Buchan, M.A., and S. A. Marling, M.A., were appointed. The number of these schools is so considerable that to give an adequate notice of each would occupy many more pages than can here be afforded to them. It has there- fore been deemed sufficient to present a full epitori.e of the law and regulations under which they are governed, together with a table of some of the more important items of information respecting each of them And yet, at some future opportunity, it may be found useful to trace more minutely the history of many a one of these institutions, which, in past years of discourage- ment, kept its lamp burning, and from time to time sent out its little band of scholars, 1 whose career at the universities and in maturer life has reflected credit on the source I to which they were indebted for the beginnings of higher culture. Want of money has been the drag upon these schools during their whole course. It i was not till 1865 that the raising of an amount from the locality equal to even half the Government grant for salaries was made a condition of receiving aid, notwithstanding the repeated entreaties of the Chief Superintendent, from the time the schools Avere placed under his control in 1853. And it was not till 1871 that the Legislatuie U;ranted to the Trustees the power to obtain from the municipalities the necessary In-eans to improve the school-houses and equipments, and increase the number of juiasters. The law of 1863, while seeming to give such power, was too indelinite to be (ettoctlve. Since the granting of those necessary privileges immense improvements have been leffocted. All previous legislation, regulations, and the most' efficient inspection were lioudered in a great degree futile, and the grant was frequently wasted in the en- Tkavour to maintain a superior class of schools with utterly inadequate means. The I'ccent School Act and consequent regulations are the commencement of a new BiM. The schools will be more expensive, but they will be effective, and none hvill be established or suffered to remain in existence unless the locality is able and ivilliug to bear the burdens necessary to provide for efficiency, in return for the advan- Viirt' ' >!' securing in its midst the great blessing of a good high school. The hindrance I all previous effort has been that the local municipalities, although empowered, were 't required to provide the necessary means, and councillors had no great desu'e vol- lintarily ti) levy rates on i.heir friends and neighbors for higher education, especially Fhen the school could be retained, with its comparatively large Government grant, ay |., Dublin; s' certificates ITARY. ulter 'ig urray oys, LL.B. rne Irozier uz. /le. eiison Julia . . )ster . , leid :8on . . !nnedy irs . . . . itchell [ington rence Ulan . . raid . , lind . . l)te . . .

The facilities provided for primary and secoiidary instruction by tho system of public and high schools, under tho general administration of the Department, have always been supplemented by institutions established by various bodies, and with more or less distinctivt; objects and courses of study, each working inde- pendently and without inspection or control from any central authority. Those of them which are incorporated, are generally liable, under their charters, to be called upon by the Government for a statement of their affairs and of their woik ; but having no public endowment, with the exception of Tipper Canada College, they have always been allowed to go on their way quietly, and but little is known to the public of the character and reality of the education which most of them provide. It is fair to presume, however, that much valuable and genuine work is (huie in this way. 'Ihey are increasing in number, and that they are required by the i)ublic seems evident from the extensive patronage which they receive. In a prospectus of one of these institutions,* published five years ago, the following passage occurs : — " It is hoi)ed that the plan suggested for such schools in England may before long be extended to this country, and that the council of the school will soon be able to secure the assistance of examiners aiipointed by public authority. In the meantime, the examinations have for thi most part been conducted by tne staff of tlie school, and have been of a very thorough and searching character, a-sithe subjomed examination papers, given at recent terminal examinations, will show." And there can be little doubt that a kindly, appreciative, and at the same time efficient inspection, would be welcomed by many of the schools, and would be useful to their friends as well as to the public. There may be schools not named here of which information would gladly have been inserted, if it could be procured. ^tppn* ©ttuMa (^oWt^e, TORONTO. The College was founded under the administration of Sir John Colborne, in 1828, after the model of the great public schools of England, and opened in January, 1830.

The college provides a classical, scientific and coiumercial education for the sons of gentlemen, commensurate with the wants and progress uf this rising country. The dis- cipline is based, upon the model of the great public schools of England and Germany. The utmost care is bestowed on the moral and religious training of the pupils. The fact that the masters are resident, secures supervision at all times ; the preparation of lessons is also under their superintendence. A lady of high character and experience is entrusted with the management of the domestic department. The college is situated on a beautiful site, and stands in ten acres of ground.

The school was founded under the auspices of him whose name it bears, and is intended to perpetuate his memory in connection with an important work for the Church of Christ, ft is designed primarily for the benefit of the daughters of members of the Anglican communion, but it is open to all who, being desirous to avail themselves of its advantages, are willing to conform to its regulations. It was opened 12th Septem- ber, 1867, and incorporated in 1808 (31 Vie. cjip. 57).

Strict simplicity and economy in dress, as well as a general moderation in expendi- ture will be enforced. The year is divided into four terms of ten weeks each.

This College wac opened in 1852, by the Fathers of the Order of St. Basil, and was incorporated in 1854 (18 Vic. , chap. 237). There is a commercial and a classical coiirse. The corporation consists of thi Archbishop, the Superior, and the Professors. The College occupies very spacious Duildings on a fine site (Clover Hill). (No information was furnished by the authorities. ) The iPiODuation to be obtained respecting private schools is too meagre to be of much value. On a future occasion, some details may be presented respecting a class of institutions, many of which are doing important work. In the rural parts, but few private schools are kept, and the result of a diligent inquiry shows that these are generally quite small, and chiefly for very young children of both sexes. For the most part such schoole are either maintained in consequence of the distance of some families from the public schools, or else as a mere temporary expedient, where there is general dissatisfaction with the local school management. Outside the cities, towns and villages, there seem to be but some 120 such schools in the Province, and many of these with less than 10 pupils. In villa^^es and towns there are fre(iuently, in addition to infant schools, private classes, some of which afl!"ord facilities for the cultivation of music and the languages, 1 science and diplomas, or the requisite roficiency on ind desirable the following tober, at the al and Moral p.m. II.

In the cities and larger towns, there are some sui>erior private schools, but the statistics are not available.

ANNALS OF LEGISLATION. It has already been noted (p. 1) that the project for a college, which had en- gaged much attention, was abandoned at the close of the last century. But in 1819 the Executive Council again took the matter into consideration, find recommended that 500,000 acres of land be disposed of for the purpose of estab- lishing a University. The estimate of the Council comprised £10,000 for build- ings and appliances, with £4,000 per annum for salaries, scholarships and contingencies. In 1820 it was enacted that on the establishment of a University, it might be duly represented in Parliament. In March, 1827, the charter of King's College was obtained by Sir Peregrine Maitland, and Lord Bathurst's despatch promised a grant of £1,000 per annum for the college buildings. The Grovernor was directed to endow King's College from the Crown Koserves. In 1828-9 the Wesleyan Methodists began to move for their academy, which, in the year 1841, became the University of Victoria College, under the presi- dency of the Rev. Dr. Ryerson, and received an annual grant of £500 from the Legislature. The College opened with the faculty of Arts ; Medicine was added in 1854, and Law in 1862. In 1831, Lord Goderich proposed that King's College charter should be sur- rendered, with a view to its modification. . In 1835, by the will of the Right Rev. Bishop MacDonell, four acres of land were devised for a proposed Roman Catholic College, which was afterwards incor- porated as Regiopolis College, and was opened at Kingston in 1846. It is not now in operation. In 1837, the Provincial Legislature, having been authorized by the Imperial Government to deal with the charter of King's College, passed an Act amending the same, ar.-i coitnecting Upper Canada College with the University. In 1840, an Act incorporating a Presbyterian College at Kingston was passed, and reserved for the Queen's pleasure ; but in 1841 Her Majesty granted a Royal Charter to the institution as " Queen's College jit Kingston." The faculties of Theology and Arts were thereupon established ; Medicine was added in 1854, and Law in 18G1. In 1842 the foundation stone of King's College was laid by Sir Charles Bagot, and in June, 1843, the University was formally opened, under the presid(;ncy of the Right Rev. Bishop Strachan. In 1843 an effort was made to affiliate Kind's College and Queen's College, but it failed, and an agitation commenced, under which the charter was again amended by the Act of 1849, and the Toronto institution was denuded of its Thecjlogical faculty. In 1848, St. Joseph's College was established at By town (Ottawa). It is now known as the College of Ottawa. , 5^ 88 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. The authorities of the Church of England in this Province, having determined upon the establishment of another University, on the abolition of the faculty of Theology, obtained an Act of incorporation in 1850 for, the new College, and in 1851 a Royal Charter was issued to the University of Trinity College, Toronto, and|the Diocesan School of Theology at Cobourg was thereupon merged in it. In 1853 the Legislature again amended the charter of the University of Toronto, and separated the University from the College, depriving it at the same time of the professors of Law and Medicine. By this Act the University became the examining body, also conferring degrees in Arts, Law, and Medicine, and the College was constituted a teaching institution for the faculty of Arts. Convoca- tion was abolished, and the government was vested in a Senate, appointed by the Crown. , In 1857, the Methodist Episcopal Church established a seminary at Belleville for the higher education of students of both sexes, which in, 1866 and 1871, was incorporated as the University of Albert College. In 1868, the annual legislative grants which had been long enjoyed, were with- drawn from the following institutions : Victoria College, $5,000, and $750, Medical faculty ; Queen's College, $5,000 ; Regiopolis College, $3,000 \ St. Michael's College, $2,000 ; Trinity College, $4,000 ; Ottawa College, $1,400 ; L'Assomption College, $1,000 ; also $750 each for the Medical faculties of Kingston and Toronto. In 1873, the important Act modifying the constitution of the University of Toronto was passed. The principal provisions are mentioned below. In 1874, the Charter and Acts relating to Victoria College were repealed, and a new Act passed, providing for the appointment of the College Board by the General Conference of the Methodist Church of Canada. The Legislature has thus permitted, in a Province of less than 2,000,000 inha- bitants, no fewer than seven institutions to assume the functions and powers of Universities. Six of these are in active operation, each determining its own curriculum, and granting degrees in the several faculties. The maintenance of efficient local Colleges is to be desired, but a common standard foi- University degrees is surely not less necessary, in the interests of our higher education. , ,: ; . , , , , . ;: ,.,. ! . .. ... ' ■ i' ^» ••\' ' : • '/ ;! This University was established by Royal Charter bearing date 15th March, 1827, under the title of King's College, and was endowod by Patent on 3rd January, 1828, with a grant of the lands set apart by the Crown in 1798. The institution was inau- gurated and the first students were admitted on 8th June, 1843, and the first Convo- cation was held on 14th December, 1844. Various Acts have been passed relating to this University as recorded in preceding pages. These acts were 60 Geo. III., cap 2 (1820) ; 7 VVUliam IV. cap 16 (1837) ; 12 Vic. cap 82 (1849) ; 10 Via cap 89 (1853). By an Act (36 Vic. cap 29) passed in 1873, extensive changes were made in the gov- ernment of the University oi Toronto. The Corporation of the University was then declared to consist of the Chancellor, Vice-Chaucellor, and the members of the Senate and of the Convocation. The 63nate now consists of twenty -four members, besides certain ex officio members. Convc -"tion is composed of the graduates; but Bachelors of Arts and Science must be of three years' standing. Convocation elects the Chancellor and fifteen members of the Senate, the Government nominating nine members. Convocation may also deliberate on questions affecting the University; and has, with the Senate, power of deciding on the terms of afiiliation of Colleges. No member of the Senate can be an Examiner. The Governor, on the reconunendation of the Senate, may establish other Profes- sorships in any department of knowledge, science or art in Uiuversity College. The Senate is empowered to provide for local examinations. ; determined he faculty of liege, and in ige, Toronto, fed in it. >r of Toronto, lame time of became the line, and the i.

In additiunnetiu ** ^ '' iattcvy, K1NO.STON. This school of practical and theoretical artillery science was established under the system detailed in General Orders, October, 1871. As early as the summer of that year, it became apparent that the withdrawal of the Imperial troops, liowever detri- mental to the Infantry and Cavalry Sclu)ols, would strike a more fatal blow to the continuance of those for the artillery service — tlie latter requiring very special instruc- tion of a nature not capable, for the most part, of being imparted by instructors taken from the militia. It was therefore decided to establish two Schools of Gunnery, one at Quebec for that Province ; the other at Kingston, for the Province of Ontario. These institutions took the form of regular batteries of artillery, to which none are admitted for duty or instruction, except duly enrolled officers and men, belonging to some battery of artillery of the active militia. Wliilst attached to the Schools of Gunnery, all officers and men are under the rules of military discipline, as prescribed in clause 64 of the Mutiny Act ; and thus Artillery Schools, as real as corps of the Royal Artillery itself, have been formed for garrison duty, as well as for the theoretical and practical in- struction in artillery science. In addition to the provision thus made for the instruc- WW 126 PK0V1N(JK OF ONTARIO. tion of ofticers, Kunners, and drivura, tlio buttery is charged with tho care and protec- tion of the forts, magazines and warlike stores in Ontario, handed ovur by tho [ini)erial Government, Those schools are coiiimandud, and the instruction carried on in them by properly qiiaiiHed otticera of the Royal Artillery, assisted by serjeant-instructors of the same regiment, whose services are loaned by the lmi)erial to the Dominion (jovern- inent.

The Act (36 Victoria, cap. 32, Ontario,) respecting the Ontario Institutions for the 3eaf and Dumb, and for the Blind, provides that their purpose is to educate and impart instruction in some manual art to persons so afflicted, and who are residents of the Province. None can be admitted except for that purpose ; nor, if over the age of twenty-one, without the assent of the Inspector, and the continued maintenance of any lerson admitted is at the discretion of the Inspector, subject to the approval of the "Provincial Secretary. Officers are appointed by Government. The Inspector makes rules and by-laws, subject to approval by Government. he w 132 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. The object of this Institution is the instruction of blind persons of sound intellect in the ordinary branches of an English education^ in vocal and instrumental music, and in such mechanical arts as are within the reach of the blind. A few over-age pupils are admitted, but their continuance over a single session is strictly determined by their aptitude for instruction. Admission is, under no circumstances, awarded to the aged, the infirm, or to imbeciles. The institution is visited daily by the [nstitu- tion physician, and periodically by a leading oculist. Though the pupils are specially treated for ophthalmi ; affections, their general health must be such as to prevent any long-continued interi aption of their stxidies. In 1854 an appropriation of ^0,000 was set apart by the Parliament of the two united Canadian Provinces for the erection of buildings to educate conjointly deaf mutes and the blind. Much confusion of ideas appears to have prevailed as to the pr«>per functions of such establishments, and the Act not only provided for the com- bination of the two entirely distinct forms of instruction, but limited the choice of Principal to the medical profession. In the meantime the education of these classes was, in spite of many formidable difficulties, pursued at Hamilton by Mr. J. B. McGaim. In May, 1871, the Ontario Institution for the Blind commenced operations, with an attendance of only eleven pupils. The site selected for the Institution was an elevated plateau, a little to the north-west of Brantford. The building is designed in the Tudor style, and presents an imposing appearance. The growth of the Institution has recently been so rapid that it now ranks among the foremost in America. The number of applications for admission or re-adniission, the present (5th) session, exceeded 140. The establishment is administered by the Principal, who is the chief executive officer, and whose administration is subject to such rules and by-laws as may be made by the Government Inspector, and be approved by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.

Oaurse of Instruction. .- The course of instruction comprises the reading of literature in the various tangible alphabets, especially the ordinary raised letters, the Moon type, and the Wait system of point print ; the use of various writing cards and boards ; the study of geography, by means of relief and dissected maps ; arithmetic in all its ordinary applications ; English literature; English grammar and composition history ; music, vocal and instrumental ; beadwork, knitting, netting, sewing (hand and machine), crocheting ; manufacture of willow-work and cane chairs. In all of the above branches new appliances to facilitate instruction have been devised within the Ontario Institution, and have been manufactured expressly for the use of its pupils. The full course of study for junior pupils is designed to occupy the period of seven years. Examinations are held periodically, and prizes awarded. Fees. — To pupils able to pay, a nominal fee for board ($50 per session of ten months) is charged; but those certified as unable to pay are admitted gratuitously. No fee is in any case charged for tuition. The Institution is maintained exclusively at the expense of the provincial treasury, into which the small amount accruing from fees is directly paid, thus constituting no portion of the .Institution revenue. For admission, application is to be made to th^ Principal. %ht (^ntavia iujeitituti0n fox iht Mntaiion ot iht gtnf mA §umK BELLEVILIE. This establishment was provided for the education of all deaf mutes of both sexes, between the ages of seven and twenty. No pupil can remain after the age of twenty one, unless under special circumstances ; discretionary power in this respect to be vested in the Inspector and Principal. The period of education and instruction is not to exceed seven years, except by special arrangement. The Institution was formally opened on the 20th October, 1870, for the reception of pupils, in the presence of His Honor the Lieut. -Governor, and several members of the Government. The number of pupils in attendance has been as follows :— lat term, 70 ; 2nd term, 124 ; 3rd term, 148 ; 4th term, 201 ; oth term, 210. , ..

The girls are taught Sewing, knitting, fancy work and general cfotaestic work. Examinations. — The examinations take place at Easter and the latter part of September, for classification. Terms of Admission. — Parents or guardians unable to pay 850 per session for the Iward of pupils must apply for a certificate, and have it signed by the reeve or mayor of the municipality in which they reside, which will enable the pupil to be educated freely. Indigent orphans are clothed, boarded and educated freely. Pupils from other provinces pay $125 per annum for board and education. Vacations commence on the last Wednesday in June, and end on the first Wednesday in September. The necessary forms and certificates, together with all information, to be had of Dr. Palmer, Principal, on application at the Institution. m ' ' SAULT STE. MARIE. This Institution was established for the civilization, education and Christian train- ing of Indian children. In 1871, Chief " Little Pine," accompanied by the Rev. E. F. Wilson, visited several towns, to arouse an interest in the education of the children of his people. Another Chief accompanied Mr. Wilson to England, where £800 was obtained for the object in view. In 1873 an Industrial Home was built at Garden River, with accommodation for forty pupils, and opened 22nd September. A week after, it was burnt to the ground. A ftmd for rebuilding was immediately commenced, and £350 was subscribed in England in two weeks, and afterwards increased to £1,600. Added to the Canadian contributions, a sura of $12,000 was received, of which $7,600 has been expended in the new buildings at Sault Ste. Marie, including infirmary, &c. , and the remainder in purchasing land, furniture, farm stock, «&c. Plan of Work. — The managing staff consists of the Rev. E. F. Wilson, Principal and Chap- lain ; a matron, who, besides her general duties, teaches the girls sewing ; a schoolmaster, with the assistance of native pupil teachers, has control of the educational department ; a farm mau carpenter and laundress. Indian children of ten or twelve years of age are received as pupils. N > servants are kept, but the children are taught to engage in every branch of house work ; and be- sides receiving a good common education, learn various trades, so as to become in every way fitted, as far as possible, for a useful Ife. A few young people, both male and female, who have already had the advantage of a little education in more civilized parts, will be admitted with a new of fitting them to become teachers, and labour among their people, and it is hoped that some of the young men may even be eventually admitted into Holy Orders. il/cans o/iSiM/)/)or^- The Home is mainly supported by voluntary contributions. The Cana- dian Government undertakes the support of a limited number both of children and aged people. The greater number of the children 8,re maintained by the different Church of England Sunday Schools throughout Canada. The cost of a child is 875 jjer annum for board and clothing ; but, if clothing be supplied, $50 will suffice. The cost of a young person preparing for a teacher is $100 per annum, and of an aged person $75 per annum. The assisting Sunday Schools usually provide for one pupil each, remitting the subscription periodically, and a box of clothing once a year. The Roman Catholic Schools have been noticed on pages 2, 4, 6, 9. The following is a digest of the law (1863) relating to them (26 Vic, cap. 5). The Law respecting Protestant and Coloured Separate Schools is contained in the U. C. Con. Stats., 22 Vic, cap. 65, and in 32 Vic. , cap. 44, sec 9. It is rarely put into effect. 134 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. UIOSHT or THB KOMAN CATIIOLIU SHPAKATE 8UU00L AOT. 1. 28. The previoiiB Act is repealed, but the existing engagements are continued. 2.

A Roman Catholic may withdraw his support, by giving notice to the municipal clerk before the 2nd Wednesday in January, but he shall not be exempt from separate school rates imposed before such withdrawal. 20, 21. Separate schools shall share in provincial or municipal public school grants, investments, «&c , according to average attendance, but shall not share in muni- cipal school assessments. 22. The trustees shall make a semi annual return to the Chief Superintendent, where- upon he shall apportion the legislative grant. 23. Separate schools have the same visitors as public schools (p. 23), except the Protestant clergy. 24. Trustee elections are void, unless a school be established within three months therefrom. 25. No separate school supporter may vote at a public school election. 26. The separate schools are subject to the regulations of the Council, and to such inspection as shall be directed by the Chief Superintendent. 27. Disputes between the trustees and the inspectors or municipal authorities, shall be referred to the Chief Superintendent, subject to an appeal to the Governor, whose award shall be final. She ajvphaw Itumtisi— indujeittial j^fchooliei. Until the School Act of 1871, no authorization was given by the Legislature to the school boards to provide industrial schools for neglected children. Benevolent efforts of individuals and societies had done much, with some municipal aid, to supply this want in cities, and the Boys' and Girls' Homes, and Protestant Orphans' Homefin To- ronto have cared for, educated and apprenticed very many of such children.

INDUSTRIAL AND REFORMATORY SCHOOLS. 13{V The House of Providence, in which one of the city separate schools is held, has for years been doing the same good work ; which is also done in other towns. These agencies, however, have been found insufficient, and in 1874, an Act was passed which extended the powers given to school trustees in 1871. A digest of this Act is subjoined. THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT, 1874 (37 "Vic Cap. 29). — DIUBHT. 1. 2. 5, 6. 8. An industrial school is defined as a school where children are lodged, clothed and fed, and receive an industrial training. The public or separate school board in any 6ity, may provide and fit up a building, and if the Chief Superintendent, on the report of the Inspector, certify his ap- proval of the arrangements, the school shall be deemed an industrial school, and notice thereof shall be given to the police magistrate, and gazetted. Any person may bring before the magistrate a child apparently under the age of 14, (1) found begging ; (2) or vagrant ; (3) or a destitute orphan, or the child of a person in prison ; (4) or whose parent represents to the magistrate that the •hild is uncontrollable, and wishes him so sent ; (5) or who, by parental neglect or vice, is without due control and education^ or exposed to an evil life. The magistrate may order the child to be sent to such a school up to the age of 16, and the said school boards may receive and provide for such child. If a Roman Catholic school be established, the children of that religion shall be sent there, or transferred to it from another industrial school if the Ckief Superintendent think it just. The Council of Public Instruction shall make regulations as to the visits of Clergy. 9—12. A child so committed may be lodged for a time elsewhere if the Chief Super- intendent approve. 13. The Chief Superintendent may order the discharge of a child. 14. The school board may apprentice a child, with his own consent. 16. The school board may frame rules, which, when approved by the Council and the Chief Superintendent, shall be binding. W — 13. On complaint of the school board, the county judge may order a parent to pay a sum not exceeding $1 a week for such child ; and the judge may vary the order. Costs to be at his discretion, and the court fees on the lowest scale. If the child come from another municipality, it shall pay expenses of such child. An escaped child may be apprehended without warrant. The Chief Superintendent shall apportion the special grant to such schools accord- ing to the average attendance. In other respects such schools shall be under the usual school laws and regu- lations. In case of the reformation of the parents, if they give security, the school board may restore the child. An appeal from the Chief Superintendent's decisions shall lie to the Governor, whose judgment is final. At the Provincial Reformatory, Penetanguishene, there are 173 boys. They are instructed separately by two teachers, appointed respectively by the Protestant and the Roman Catholic chaplains. The school time is only two hours a day, viz., from 6 to 8 a. m. , the rest of the time being devoted to various industries. The Warden reports favourably of the ettects of the treatment, as exhibited in the subsequent history of the boys who have been at the Reformatory. The Inspector, however, recommends gi-eater educational fccilitiea. W^»iml ®«ucati0n— PiUtntjj §m.

'are provided and made use of for the systematic training of the physical powers. In some towns a gymnasium may be found. In the normal and model schools, and other large establishments, the gymnastic and drill master is on the regular stafi', but the vil- lage cricket or lacrosse club, or the local volunteer corps is frequently the only physi- cal training school of the youth of a neighborhood ; too often, even these resources are wanting. By the last report of the Minister of Militia, it appears that 13,457 volunteers are under drill in Ontario. These schools are noticed under the head of Religious Instruction. Tolerably full returns show that there were in Ontario in 1874 some 3,500 Sunday Schools of all sorts, with 197,000 scholars and 22,7C0 teachers. These are more likely to be under than over the actual figures. ACADEMY FOR THE EIIUCATION OF YOUNG LADIES, TOKONTO. The object of the institution is to prepare young ladies for their various duties in society, by instructing them in all the higher branches of education, but more especially by if stilling into their minds sound Christian principles which will exercise a lasting influence over their future lives. The boarding school was established in 1854, at the Convent on Power street, but in 1862 the number of pupils had so increased that the accommodation was found in- suflicient, and it became necessary to remove to a more commodious building. A site on St. Alban's street, in the neighbourhood of the University, and in one of the healthiest localities of the city was procured, and the present large and well-fitted Convent erected. The school has since then enjoyed an increasing popularity, and at present has a large number of pupils. The school is conducted under the auspices of His Grace the Archbishop of Toronto, and it is at all times open to inspection by him or any person appointed by him.^ It is immediately under the supervision of the Superioress of the Community, who governs it according to established rules and is assisted by the staflf of teachers. The teaching body is composed exclusively of members of the community. The course of study embraces the various English 'branches from the elementary classes to the ordinarj' subjects of a high school education, alio the French language, music, drawing, paint- ing, fancy work and domesti* economy. Every Friday afternoon the classes are examined on one particular subject, and the places in class and on the " Honor List" for the following week, awarded accordingly. In the senior classes, the examinations are written ; in the junior, oral. There are three general examination.s in the year, namely, at Christmas, Easter and Midsvunmer ; according to these the promotions are made and the prizes awarded. Fees for Board and Tuition.

The Jesuit Father Le Jeune began a school in 1632, at Quebec, for the benefit of the Indians, and in 1635 he formed the Seminary of Notre Dame des Anges, afterwards the Jesuit College of Quebec, In 1 639, the Convent of the Ursulines was founded by Madame LaLapeltrie. In 1678, Monseigneur do Laval laid the foundation of the building, to be occu- pied by the Seminary of Quebec, the Petit Seminaire having been founded by him in 1668. The Bishop endowed the seminary with his own patrimony. In 1647, the clergy of St. Sulpice, of Paris, founded the Theological Seminary at Montreal. In 1653, Sister Margaret Bourgeois founded the Order of the Congregation de Notre Dame at Montreal, and established certain schools. The Recollets and the Jesuit College also supported many primary schools. The RecoUet r-jnvent, Quebec, was founded in 1680-1, and in 1697 that of the Ursulines at Three Rivers. In 1737, the Fr6res Chretiens undertook the task of popular instruction, but their efforts were neutralized by the apathy of the Government and of the settlers. The Order of Jesuits, who had been active in their devotion to the education of the people, were suppressed by Royal Instruction in Canada in 1774, and in 1800 their estates became vested in the Crown. It was not till 1831 that these estates were surrendered to the Provincial Parliament for the* support of educa- tion, and even then the College buildings at Quebec were still retained as bar- racks. After the suppression, however, " colleges " continued to be established, and their names, with the years of their foundation, are given in a subsequent table. Lord Dorchester's Commission in 1787-1789 revealed a sad picture of the ignorance prevailing. The British inhabitants of Quebec petitioned in 1792 for the restoration of the Jesuit estates for educational purposes, but the petition was unnoticed till 1801, when the Lieutenant-Governor announced that His Majesty intended to set apart lands of the Crown whose revenues should be applied to elementary free schools, where the English tongue should be taught, and ultimately for institutions of a superior class. In 1801, accordingly, an Act was passed for the establishment of free schools, under the management of a " Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning ;" but the Act was produc- tive of slight results, being, notwithstanding the Royal instructions, unaccom- panied by grants, and the appointed trustees, or their policy, being unsuited for some of the important objects proposed. The principal, if not the only function of the Royal Institution at present is the government of McGill College, Mon- treal, the endowment of which was committed to their care by the founder. If; ! iS: i 188 PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. In 1824 the Fabrique Act was passed, of which the provisions are noted below. Many futile attempts at school legislation were afterwards made ; but in 1829 an Act passed providing for the appointment of schoolmasters in each parish or township, and the subsequent Acta respecting general education are em- bodied in a summary given in pages 139-145. In 1838, Sir Arthur BuUer, in a report on the educational condition of Canada, made by instruction of Lord Durham, depicted the utter want of the means of instruction for the habitans, while he alludes to the ample provision for secondary education, which the piety of religious communities had established. The result of Sir Arthur Buller's report was the Act of 1841, providing for the maintenance and superintendence of a general system of elementary schools. This law was revised in 1846, when the principle of local taxation was introduced, but the opposition to a compulsory tax was too strong to be resisted. In 1842 the Christian Brothers* schools were founded in Quebec. In 1853 were established the Normal and Model Schools at Montreal, by the Colonial and Continental Church and School Society, whose Normal School, however, was transferred to the control of McGill College in 1856. In 1855, Dr. J. B. Meilleur, the Superintendent of Education, resigned, after fourteen years' service, and was succeeded by the Hon. P. J. O. Chauveau, under whose vigorous administration much steady progress was made ; a more satisfac- torjf mode of distributing the Superior Education Fund was sanctioned by the Legislature ; a Council of Public Instruction was appointed, which introduced improved text-books; and a monthly journal was published. Under M. Chauveau's guidance, and that of his successors, the schools have become more generally effective, and have conciliated to a large extent the local snppoit so essential to the firm establishment of a system of national education. The pupils in the more necessary branches have doubled since 1855, and those learning English have trebled. In 1857, the Jacques Cartier and McGill Normal Schools were opened in Mon- treal, and the Laval Normal School at Quebec. Of these, the first was placed under the immediate charge of the Superintendent, and the other two were attached to the respective universities. These schools are for both sexes, and each has Model Schools attached. They are all under the Council of Publie Instruction. Some of the distinctive features of the Quebec system are the following : — 1. Its religious character; the common schools being for the most part dis- tinctly Koman Catholic, and the dissentient schools being also controlled, as to religious teaching, by Protestant ministers. Similar features characterize the higher institutions, and the Council of Public Instruction is constructed on the same lines, the work of the Council being done by Protestant and Roman Cathohc Committees. The Roman Catholic Bishops are now exrofficio members, all other members being appointed by the Government. 2. The large powers of the Superintendent, controlled, however, by the Council. 3. The large proportion of the teachers who are exempt from examination, being ecclesiastics, or members of communities. 4. The considerable number of classical and other high class secondary schools not subject to inspection. They merely report to the Superintendent, and receive a grant, and each of them fixes its own curriculum. 5. The appointment and payment of the inspectors and examiners entirely by the Government. 6. The election of commissioners (trustees) for the municipality, not for the school district. iS are noted made ; but iters in each ition are em- ondition of want of the )ro vision for established, ding for the chools.

Thr. Superior Education Funds — Libraries — Normal Schools. Chapter 15 of the Lower Canada Consolidated Statutes (1860) enacts: — 1-6. That the estates of " the late Order of Jesuits " shall form a fund, to be called the " Superior Education Investment Fund ;" and the revenues thereof, toge- ther with balances and other moneys to be appropriated for the purpose, shall form the '* Superior Education Income Fund ;" and the Government may direct the sale of portions of such estates, and the investment of the proceeds ; $20,000 shall be annually added from the revenue of the Province, and a sufH- cient amount shall be taken also from the Common School Fund, to make the annual income ^8,000. 6-9. Said Income Fund shall be annually apportioned by the Superintendent of Edu- cation among the Universities and all other educational institutions, other than the ordinary elementary schools, as the Governor in Council may approve; such grants shall be annual only, and the institutions to be aided sh^U make (a) Report, p. xxiv. {b) Report, p. 196.

The conimisaioners, or the trustees of dissentient schools, shall divide the municipa- lities into School districts, and provide schools therein, notifying the Superin- tendent. 34-49. These sections provide for the election of five school commissioners, by the landowners and householders of each school municipality, on the 1st Monday in July annually. The commissioners need not have a property qualification, b\it thoy must, unless clergymen, be resident. Assessors must have $400 real pro- perty. Provision is made for deciding contested elections by a judge, and filling vacancies by the Superintendent, by the electors, or by the Governor. 50-d4. The commissioners' usual term of ofiice is three years. Teachers are ineligible. They hold the school property as a corporation, with the iisual powers; and in default of commissioners, it vests in the Superintendent. The Dissentient Schools. , . -- t. >) 56-58> The minority in religion in any municipality may dissent, and in writing n to the chairman of the commissioners three trustees, who shall have, in resj "^ * of the dissentient schools, districts, population and assessments, the same powui » as the commissioners have in respect of common schools.

They are, however, on an average more numerously attended, and they receive pupils at an earlier stage of advancement. They are chiefly boarding schools, but admit day scholars also. ** The course of study usually comprises religious instruction, mathematics, physical science, English, French, Latin, Creek, and sometimes other languages ; geography, history, rhetoric and Belles Lettres, mental and moral philosophy, agriculture and commerce; drawing, vocal and instrumental music. Theology and other subjects are also provided for. The number of years required to complete the courses varies from 4 to 10 years. In the Industrial Colleges the course is generally somewhat shorter than in the classical, and a larger proportion of pupils receive a specially commercial training. In the Roman Catholic Colleges there were 5,586 boys, and in the Protestant Col- leges, 820 boys and 172 girls in 1873. The total expenditure was ^298,926, and the total real estate f 1 ,868,517.

The object of this institution is to secure to its members the means for their own welfare, and to givu gratuitous Christian instruction to the young ; the Brothers also take the management of academies, boarding schools and normal schools. At the request of Messire Quiblier, ^iperior of the Seminary of St. Sulpice, Mon- treal, and upon the suggestion of Monseigneur Lartigue, first R. C, Bishop of that city, Fr^re Anaclet, General Superior of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, sent four Brothers to Canada, in the year 1837, tc found an establishment of his order. These four — Brother Aidant, Director, and Brothers Adelbertus, Rombaud and Surette— opened their first school the 21st Decen)!ier in the same year. Montreal has thus been the cradle of the Institution of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in the New World. From that time the institution has rapidly exp^ded in both North and South America, so that by the year 1873 it possessed in Canada 25 establishments, 242 brothers, 40 schools, and 11,180 scholars ; in the provinces of the United States and South America, 58 establishments, 605 brothers, 101 schools, and 10,211 scholars.

It was a gift to the Methodist Church of the Lower Provinces of Canada by Charles F. Allison, Esq., a merchant of Sackville. The Female Academy was added in 1854. This owed its origin chiefly to the benevolence of the same gentleman. The Mount Allison Wesleyan College, which was formally organized in 1862, under a charter from the New Brunswick Legislature, obtained several years previous to i'.i opening, also shared in Mr. Allison's benefactions. These institutions are governed by a board of governors, appointed by the General Conference of the Methodist Church of Canada. Though thub denominational in their character, their halls are frequented by students connected with the various leading denominations of the Lower Provinces. They are extensively patronized.

PROVINCE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. a^lmtnimf 3mUm\i mA iomal f cftoolisi. The chief provisions of the Education Act are briefly summarized below. The existing law is a consolidation and amendment of previous Statutes, and has been in operation since 1st June, 1868. From the reports of the School Visitors, it would seem that the system requires important modifications, before the efficiency of the schools can be secured. The supply of well qualified and trained teachers is said to be inadequate, and the salaries are poor. Among other desiderata, aie mentioned increased powers of local taxation for providing school accommodation, equipment and salaries ; a defined course of instruction ; a re-examinatJon of the teachers ; the better regulation of elections and district boundaries, and compulsory attendance. The number of schools in operation on the island is 355, of which 18 are gram- mar schools, although some appear to be merely nominally so. There are 16,292 scholars, and 453 teachers. In 1874, 4 teachers received the grammar school license ; 5 class II. (the higher), for district schools ; and 37 class I. (lowest). In the Normal School, there were 27 pupil teachers. '. . 37. 38. 39. 40. 41 42. 43. 44. 46. The Normal School is under the regulations of the Board, subject to the approval of Government. The teacher is appointed by Government, and is aided by the teachera-in-training in instructing the children. Pupils, other than teachers-in- training, pay £2 per annum, and their number is regulated by the Board and the Government. The Board admits students whom they think fit, free of charge, for five months. A visitor is appointed for each county by the Governor, who inspects the schools and their afiairs, and reports to the Board. Clergy and teachers are exempt from assessment. A grammar school may be established instead of two adjoining district schools, and in other cases, under certain limitations. The Board appoints the teacher. The Board may require any unsuccessful candidate for a license to attend five months at the Normal School. Grammar school teachers are to satisfy the Board of their ability to teach Latin, Greek and French. Grammar school trustees and masters for Georgetown and Summerside are ap- pointed by the Governor ; but in other grammar schools, the appointments are made as in district schools. The annual salaries of teachers are fixed by law, and range from £40 to £100 ; they are paid from the provincial treasury. T him ;" the ay viflit any 'book.

Model School Fees from $3 to $6.60 yer year. The quota of Volunteers under training is stated as 788 (provisionally). 216 PROVINCE OF PRINCE BRITISH COLUMBIA. PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. Although a common school ordinance was made in 1869, and amended in 1870, the real foundation of the educational system in this province was the Public School Act of 1872. This law is an adaptation of the Ontario Act to the sister province, and its enactment was advised by the Superintendent, himself a teacher trained in the Toronto Normal School. Amendments were made to the first Act in 1873, and a further Act was passed in 1874. The estimated number of children of school age in the province is about 2,240, of whom 1,245 attended some portion of the year (1874); this was an increase of 711 over 1872. In consequence of the exceedingly scattered character of the population, the boarding system has recently been introduced, and one such school established with marked success. The compulsory clause of the Act does not work, its enforcement being optional with the local authorities. Out of 13 candidates for certificates in 1874, 11 were successful, and three obtained the highest grade. The Superintendent advocates the establishment of High Schools at Victoria and New Westminster. More recent intelligence has been received of the appointment of the Rev. A. B. Nicholson, B.A.,'a8 Head Master of a High School at Victoria. The total expenditure on the public schools for the year was, $35,287, of which $22,219 was paid to the teachers. An additional sum of $1,368 was spent in supplying books and apparatus, by the Superintendent. There are 36 teachers in the service. The Act provides for an annual grant of $40,000 as a Public School Fund, and for the appointment by the Governor of six persons, to hold office during pleasure, as a Board of Education ; also of an exDerienced person to be Superintendent of Educa- tion, who shall be ex officw chairmaa of the Board. 2. School districts are established, and altered by the Government, which also makes grants for teachers' salaries, on requbion from the trustees, and also provides the school-house, equipment and current expenses ; it also establishes other schools, without a district, where needed. 3. The Board of Education prescribes a uniform series of text-books to be used, and provides for their supply to the schools ; makes general regulations ; examines teachers and grants certificates ; appoints teachers and fixes their salaries ; purchases and dis- tributes school apparatus ; the Board may establish high schools. 4. The Superintendent visits each school once a year ; gives instructions ; enforces the law ; suspends, if necessary, a teacher's certificate till the meeting of the Board ; grants temporary certificates ; settles disputed elections ; makes an annual report. 5. An annual meeting for the trustee election is held in each district in January ; there are three trustees, of whom one retires at the annnal meeting, and no trus- tee may be Superintendent or teacher. 6. The trustees are to fix the place of, and call the annual meeting, on ten days' notice. The duties of trustees and teachers, and the proceedings at meetings are very similar to those in Ontario (pages 12, 13, 19). 7. No I ncertificatud teacher shall be engaged in a public school. 8.

The compulsory clause provides i^at trustees may make By-laws, with the sanc- tion of the Superintendent, for requiring the attendance, at some school, of children aged from 7 to 14 years, wiiJi certain limitations as to distance, &o. 11. The Met of 1874 provides for the establishment of public boarding schools Such a school is to be managed by three trustees appointea by the Governor, who hold office during pleasure, and appoint the teachers. 12. The Regulations of the Board provide that the teachers under the Board shall be paid on the following scale :— If the average be from 10 to 20 pupils, $50 a month ;. 20-30, 160 ; 30-40, f70 ; 40-60, $80. When the average exceeds 60, the school shall be entitled to an assistant. Teachers whose work is far inland, receive 910 a month more. The rule for the opening and closing prayers for schools is the same as in On- and the duties of teachers and pupils are very similar to those of that pro- 13. tario, vince 14.

PROVINCE OF MANITOBA. h K' - ''^ %..^. The system of common schools in this Province, is based upon the division of the population by the Legislature into two sections, viz. : Protestants and Roman Cathohcs. A Superintendent is appointed for each of these sections, while there is one Board of Education, in which both are represented. The Legislative grant (which in 1874, amounted to 17,000) is, according to law, divided between the two sections of the Board, in the proportion of the rela- tive average attendance at the schools of each. For 1874, it was, however, for some reason, divided equally. The Protestant common schools received $160 each, irrespective of attendance; there are 22 of them, with 1,248 pupils, and an average of 635. The Superin- intendent complains of the want of training esshibited oy the teachers ; 17 were licensed in 1874. The Roman Catholic Superintendent reports 21 schools, containing 998 children reristered, with 21 teachers. The chief function of the Board is the formation of school districts. The exam- inations are conducted by each section separately. The duties of the Superin- tendents are not clearly defined. jlummttv)) 0( tlte Kegutntiottiei. • In the Protestant schools, for the opening and closing of schools daily, the forms of Erayer provided in Ontario, and a reading from Holy Scripture are used, or else the lord's Prayer and the reading. The school hours are to be not less than five daily, for five days in the week ; with a morning and an afternoon recess. The school year is divided into two parts of 100 days each. The usual duties are prescribed- for teachers. One of their rules is " to observe him- self, and to impress upon his pupils the principles and morab of the Christian religion, especially those of truth, honesty, piety and humanity ; and the duties of respect to superiors, and obedience to all persons who are placed in authority over them.''

The corporation oonsists of ^' such persons as may become members of the Cana4it* Presbyterian Church in Manitoba," and its affairs are conducted by a Board appointed by the General Assembly of that Church. The session of Manitoba College commences on the first Tuesday of October. The College Building, while in the City of Winnipeg, is yet sufficiently remote from the business centre to ensure retirement. " The College is connected with the Pres- byterian Church in Canada, but in its regular and commercial courses is perfectly unsectarian in character. While non-sectarian, the Bible will be taught, and the plan so successfully followed in Princeton College in the United States of avoiding points controverted between the different religious denominations will be followed.

The curriculum of study of the college is divided into three courses, viz : — The regular course includes the subjects every student must take, unless exempt as bein^ in another department. This course is divided into four forms, each of which is considered sufficient to K^uire a college year for passing through it. Students in the commercial and special courses are exempt from such subjects of the reg- ular course as the college senate may from time to time decide. The course fits for passing Matriculation and First year examinations in the University of Toronto, for Matriculation in Law or Medicine, as well as |for entrance on the courses of Agri- culture, Civil Engineering, and for beginning Theology in any of the Canadian colleges. The course in commercial subjects, incUiuing PenmanBhip, Business correspondence. Book- keeping and Banking will form a prominent feature of the college.

Preparatory Department. On account of the imperfect facilities for education in the Province, especially in the north-western territories, the authorities of the college have found it neces- sary to organize an elementary course. It is the object of the college to foster the public school system of the Province, and this department will not be allowed to interfere with the pub- lic schools of the city ; but to meet the lack spoken of, will supply instruction in subjects required. 220 |} f PROVINCE OF MANITOBA. jit.

Ab the country reliea chiefly upon other agencies than those of the State, for providing for the religions education of her growinsr vouth, and as the several deno- minations, upon which, in a great measure, the public must depend for assistance in this matter, should deal with the question as it affects flie whole Dominion, it may be useful to put together a summary of the enactments bearing on the subject, although they have been severally noticed with the other information relating to each province. It has been thought fit to draw attention separately to this speciul subject, first, because most men are willing to concede that it is one of importance (and if so, it must be of supreme importance), and secondly, because there now seems a general tendency, notwithstanding that admission, even on the part of those whose characters have received the impress of careful training in their own youth, quietly to ignore any obligation to see ' hat such benefits are extended to others ; and even if the obligation be not ignored, the means adopted for the fulfilling it may still be utterly inadequate. In both church and school, religion is ma4e too much the luxury of the well-to-do. Attention is not so much directed to the colleges, or other institutions provided for those who can afford to pay considerable fees. Information about these schools may be found in previous parts of the book. The tendency to increase their number is steadily setting in, and in most of then^ thore is direct provision for religious teaching, which, we may trustfully presume, is duly imparted, as pro- mised by the founders. In fact, one of the reasons often given for such founda- tions is that religious teaching may be distinctly given. Scarcely any important religious body is without one or more of si ti schools where the spiritual welfare of the children of tJme that can pay is supposed to be sedulously guarded. It is to be hoped that the training received will be beneficial to the recipients ; but, except very remotely and indirectly, it can never influence th^ mass of the population. In the popular schools, which contain the vast majority of the children, there will be found very many who are carefully nurtured at home, while very many are the offspring of parents ignorant, indifferent, or vicious. The claim of these children to be freely taught necessary secular knowledge has been allowed and provided for by the State. Does not the Church believe that what she has to teach them must also be freely provided ? That it may be seen what is possible in Ontario, an extract from a previous page (10) is quoted. '* In both High and Public Schools it is provided that, at prayers and religious instruction, none are required to be present if the parents object, but the pupils may receive such religious instruction as the parents desire. Forms of prayer for opening and closing the schools are provided, and are generally used ; the Holy Scriptures are also read in most of the schools. The trustees are required to ar- range that ministers of any denomination, or their representatives, shall have the use of their school-house at stated times for instructing the children of their respective persuasions, after the regular school hours, and as trustees are authorized to shorten the school hours at their discretion, such instruction can be imparted within the ordin- ary school day. " The existence of the separate school law removes some difficulties ; and it facilitates the introduction of the Bible in the public schools, where it is now generally used. It is also to be observed that there are daily prayers in 4,133 public and high schools, while the ten commandments are taught in 3,167 n RELIOIOUS INSTRUCTION. Rchools. Our Koman Catholic brethren have provided that their children shall be duly catechized. It is in the power of other bodies, without separate schools, to achieve the same result. The principle of giving instruction in the Christian religion in the schools is distinctly recognized by the Regulations. In Quebec, the law provides that — "The cur6, priest or ofBciating minister shall have the exclusive right of selecting the books having reference to religion and morals for the use of schools for children of his own religious faith." • This applies of course to the Protestant schools of the Eastern Townships, and to the dissentient schools as much as to the ordinary public schools. It should be remarked that both in Ontario and Quebec, the teachers in training at the Normal Schools receive, once a week, besides Sunday, religious teaching from their respective ministers. * In Nova Scotia the statute requires that— ^i •'•i)?.' ;^';t.M " Every teacher shall inculcate, by precept and example, a respect for religion and the principles of Christian morality, and the highest regard to truth, justice, love of countfy, loyalty, humanity, benevolence, sobriety, industry, frugality, chastity, tem- perance and all other virtues." < tf-f The official instruction states that — '.' While the law does not sanction the teaching in the public schools of the peculiar views which characterize the different denominations of Christians, it does instruct the teacher to inculcate a respect for religion and the principles of morality." The Council have directed that — " Where the parents of children in attendance signify in writing to the trustees their conscientious objection to any portion of such devotional exercises as may be conducted therein under the sanction of the trustees, such devotional exercises shall either be so modified as not to offend the religious feelings of those objectors, or shtdl be held imuediately before the time fixed for the opening, or after the time for the close of the daily work." The children of such objectors are not to be required to be present. ,,.r -•;.•>)■;■■ .^Ji !,?dj • •!!,.■.* I'vf .b-^-i_m->!{ 4eB instruct r." |he trustees as may be ircises shall jectors, or le time for required nder this that th« le ordin- Prayer. may be st of the )ortment, mployed nee with itish Co- posed error should reach his mind. There may be plenty of error mixed with the boy's secular lessons also — still they are valued. Convictions are to be respected, but let it be remembered that the miserable strifes of Christians were the first cause of the divorce of religious from secular education, and are still the most fruitful source of unbelief, which \\ ill continue to thrive while churches think more of their internecine struggles than of the future of their children. But granting that little may be done by the regular schoolmaster, we have seen the faculties offered by the rules in Ontario. In country places, it may be found that there would be difficulty in working them, owing to the distance of the clergy- , men, and inability to find a suitable representative. But 130,000 of the children of Ontario are in cities, town and villages. In two municipalities only, so far as known, has the experiment been tried, of making application to the Board, and in both with success. In both Toronto and Hamilton, the trustees shortened the hours of secular instruction on one day in the week, to allow of religious instruc- tion by the clergy being given before four o'clock. Why, out of 150 cities, towns and villages, this has only been tried in two, and in one of these, in only one or two out of fifteen schools, has not been explained. It may arise, first, from the fact that the clergy are already overworked, and that they have not provided suitable representatives. Admitting, however, the necessity of the work, the churches should furnish them with substitutes, who, as the clergymen's represen- tatives, would have the same rights in the schoojs as themselves. Just enough seems to have been done to show how practicable it was to do a hundred times more. It might have been feared that the trustees would have used their option and declined to reduce on any day, the hours for secular instruction, but the per- mission was gladly given as soon as it was applied for. Or secondly, the neglect may arise from a conviction that the parent and the Sunday-school will provide for the child's instruction in religion. If the parent could and would impart this instruction, that would be the best, as it is the Divinely appointed provision for such training, but if it had not been found that this could not be depended on, Sunday-schools would not have been instituteil, and would not now be maintained, "rhose who have undertaken Sunday-school work, we may be assured, would much prefer that the parent would do this duty, instead of its being cast upon others. Any one, however, who is not a mere theorist, but has given some practical attention to the matter, knows that with many parents there is no inclination, with many there is no ability, with many there is little time, to give any adequate religious teaching to their children. The writer would be the last to disparage Sunday-schools. But if the Christian community believes that the rising generation will receive a thorough grounding in the truths of their religion, and a due impression of their importance by what they lea^n one hour a week in Sunday-school, they are in danger of being much mistaken.* Much of the Sunday-school teaching, as well as that of the parent, is vague, indefinite and inefficient. Sunday-schools may be better than they were, and may continue to improve, but an hour a week can scarcely be considered enough, even if| the teaching were much better than it is. There is enough happening around us to make it the duty of those who • It may be worth observing that, prior to 1869, the Irish National series of reading books was in use in the schools throughout Ontario. These books contained carefully prepared and copious summaries of the Biblical narratives, which had been approved by the Irish National Board, includ- ing the Boman Catholic members. The substitution of a new series of books was of course neces- sary, or it would not have been done ; but one of the consequences was the abolition of one of the aids to the cause of religion. A knowledge of the principal Biblical narratives is an essential ingre- dient in a system of Christian instruction, and it was formerly provided for by the State in the manner above mentioned. It would surprise many to find how general is the ignorance of these matters among children. 224 ADDENDA. 1 believe in the restraining influence of religion, to examine whether all that is possible is being done co strengthen and promote that influence on the rising youth of both town and country. A fresh incentive to exertion is found in the existence, not only of honr«t doubt, but of au activ) propaganda of the new Gospel of Disbelief, whose only creed appears to be the infidlibility of the Intellect, and which attacks all f^th with the rancour of a Sadducee. Another word may be ventured. Some will say that more harm than good will be done by dogmatic teaching in the schools. But it must be replied that the Founder of Christianity was intensely dogmatic, and while all religious teaching to be effective must be based on definite belief, there is no teaching which children so gladly receive. It should be remembered, however, that it must be imparted by a Teacher. One who is dull, unprepared, unsympathetic, and unsystematic, may do harm rather than good ; but if the Christian com- munity send the best qualified men to teach the most important subject, there will be no complaint, but a full appreciation of such instruction. It may be confidently asserted that a fair trial has not been gi/en to the On- tario Regulations. Their successful working depends entirely upon the energy of the several religious bodies in providing the men, and in not attempting to inter- fere with one another. Theee regulations are based upon the principle that it is better that each de- nomination should teach its vei^ion of divine truth to its own children than that an attempt should be made to water it down to suit the notions of all.
