 mcreased even up to sixteen feet in the larger houses. Two hundred an.l fifty 
 cubic feet of air for each sitting is better than one hundred and fifty.

 Id little or no light should be admitted from the opposite side of the room The 
 
 Ska should always be so placed that the pupils may face the entrance of the 
 
 oin The entrance and exit of pupils or visitors attracts the attention of the 
 
 fchool. If the backs of the pupils are toward the entrance, the pupils will turn 
 
 lund whenever the door opens or closes, presenting an unseemly appearance as 
 
 |eU as seriously mterfering with the study and recitation. Also, when stramtera 
 
 • others v,8it the School, or call at the School-room, the Teacher is obliged to 
 
 «o.ve them at the rear end of the room, instead of the front-which is awkward 
 
 |ul inconvenient. Further, the door or doors lea,ling to the woodhouse or back 
 
 Td are more convenient at the rear of the room, and this can only bo when the 
 
 Tangement of the room fronts the entrance. 
 
 Regulation »,~ Ventilation: It is required that every School-room 
 lave ample provision for the admission and circulation of pure aii-, and 
 Tie escape of impure air. 
 
 Remark l.-Without proper ventilation the School-room must be an unhealthy 
 ■lace, and one pervaded by bad odors. Nothing but a continuous supply of pure 
 lir can prevent restlessneb.^ and ner^-ous irritability on the part of both Teachers 
 td pupils ; headaches, bronchitis and weak lungs ; a sluggish vital action, depriv- 
 hg pupils and teachers of half their mental acti^-ity ; and weariness and exhaus- 
 hon of aU the members of the School during the latter half of each day The 
 Inly reason why life is not destroyed in some School houses is the loose and imper- 
 fect construction of the buildings. 
 
 Reaurk 2. -Economy in the use of fuel, equal distribution of heat through the 
 oom, and a plentiful supply of pure and property tempered air, are problems 
 kivolved m securmg a proper system of . entilation. Open fire-places cause a fr«« 
 lirculation, but the heat is unevenly distributed, and there is great loss of heat 
 Ip the chimney. Stoves consume much less fuel, but the heat is not evenly dis- 
 Inbuted, and there is almost no ventilation connected with the process of heating 
 IVindows open at the top admit the air freely, but the cold current settles at the 
 bottom of the room, and keeps the feet of the pupOs uncomfori;ably cold On its 
 ^ay It strikes the unprotected necks and shoulders of many of the pupUs, causiu- 
 lolds hke any other draught. An opening in the ceUing is often made, but when 
 It merely connects with a room overiiead. no currents are created and no ventila- 
 lion IS mduced. When the outlet is through a flue directly into the outer air, the 
 pot au- at the top of the School-room is drawn off, and the foul air below remains 
 pe au- 18 changed but little, while the waste of heat is veiy great. Two separate 
 pues rom the ceilmg^ or the division of a single flue into several parts, are fre- 
 quently employed. This plan secures an upward current through one and a down- 
 WM current through the other, and causes a change of air in the room. But when 
 » door or wmdow is opened the descending current ceases, while the hot air con- 
 pmues to ascend. This method of admitting cold air exposes pupils to draughts

 -e feet deep, so arranged as to admit of being cleaned out. Care should 1,; taken 
 prevent the water runmng u.to the v.ult from off the r.K,f ; access to the vault

 Kem.vrk 3.— The atljacent figure will serve to indicate a 
 bitable building for the use of the girls. Where there are 
 lore than one girls' department, a larger building will l,e 
 Jriuirud. (See published Plans for details). 
 
 I The l)uilding for the use of the boys should con- 
 pu two apartments, divided by a close pai-tition, as 
 the annexed figure. A strong brace of plank 
 rioul<l be firmly affixed to the frame of the l)uilding, 
 > tliat the covers of the seats cannot be opened be- 
 lond an angle of 60 degrees— to prevent standing 
 |pon t)ie seats. (See published Plans for a building || 
 ) accommodate more than one boys' department). 
 
 In the buildings for each sex, tlie seats should have lids lumg with strong butts 
 
 jid the vaults should be ventilate, by a hollow wall opening into a chinmey on 
 
 P.e top. The buddings should be weU plastered and painted, and finished in the 
 
 .me general style of arclutecture as thi School-house. The plaster should be lefl 
 
 lery rough and a heavy coat of coarse sand should be mixed with the paint to 
 
 Render wnhhlmij and ohscem sketching impc. -ihle. 
 
 Remark 4. -Locks should be placed upon the doors, so that the outhouses can- 
 lot be entered except dunng hours when the Teacher can liave them under his 
 lei^ond supervision. When constructed after the plans indicated, Trustees can 
 broperiy hold Teachers responsible for keeping the outhouses in g. ,1 order. Se^

 Remark 5.-A shed for storing wood, and a covered play-ground for tlie use of 
 I epupds m cold aijd stonny weather, will be found to contribute much to the 
 Fomfort of the School. 
 
 Remark 6-If any District is unable to erect a framed house, the Board of 
 Education would urge the building of a log house. Separate entries, play-grounds

 REGULATIONS OF THE

 ";'**^" °°*?^° i*'** * '*'»*' *'"''"°* °^ ^'^''^^y »PP«rotuB is necessary to the success 
 of the School. No money should be wasted in the purchase of useless articles, but 
 the things essential should always be furnished. The ingenious Teacher .vill 
 usuaUy wplain and illustrate his lessons by the aid of such common things as can 
 be readdy obtamed. Expensive apparatus for illustrating principles of natural 
 philosophy. IS beyond the reach of most country Districts ; but almost every neces- 
 sary expenment can be performed with articles procurable in the neighborhood. 
 The lever, the compound lever, the pulley, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, 
 the wedge and the screw, may all be illustrated by the common steelyard and a 
 ^uple of puUey-b ocks, a wheel or two from an ol.l clock, and a wooden screw 
 Hydrostatics and hydraulics can also bo illustrated by a few tin tubes, or bits of 
 lead pipe and vessels of wood or tin, if the Teacher has zeal and a little ingenuity 
 Pupils should be encouraged, also, to make the experiments themselves with 
 apparatus of their own devising. 
 
 Resttlati*. l^-Text Books.- In a ..ystem of non-sectarian public 
 Schools It IS necessary that both the subjects and the matter of instruc- 
 tion be such that all denominations of Christians in the Province can 
 participate in common in the same. It is generally conceded, also, that 
 the very great educational advantages secured by a uniformity of good 
 text-books (especially in rendering practicable an efficient classification of 
 the pupils, by which their progress is gi-eatly promoted,) far outweigh 
 any ijossible disadvantages that may occasionally accrue to individual 
 parents, pupds, or teachei-s ; and where Schools are liable, as in New 
 Brunswick, to frequent change of Teachei-s, such uniformity is of en- 
 hanced importance. As the purchase of texU,ooks must always be a 
 considemble and to many parents a serious item of expense, it Ls impoit- 
 ant that the text-books used should be as few in number as is consistent 
 with the end to be attained ; and whilst every care is to be taken that 
 they always be the best of their kind, they should be changed aa seldom 
 as all the mterests involved may seem to reqiiire. Regarding the fore-o- 
 mg considerations as involved in the exercise of the power and authority 
 confeiTed upon it in this behalf, the Board of Education, reserving to itself 
 the right of adding to or removing from, the following Lists any book as 
 It may deem necessary, prescribes the books specified therein as the text- 
 books for the use of Schools. The following declarative provisions con- 
 cernmg the duties of parents, masters, guardian^s, trustees, and teachers 
 in respect of text-books shall be read as a part of this Reguktion :— 
 
 (1) Parents masters, and guardians are to provide their children in attendance 
 at School, with tne books prescribed for the use of pupils, as may be required from 
 time to time by the course of instruction pursued in the School.

 Remark 1 -The Tniatees represent tlie inhabitantn of the DistHct, and are to 
 transact all School business in their stea.l, au.l on their behalf. The interests of 
 Education cannot thrive in any District ludess these officers efficiently discharge 
 their duties, ^hlch of past weakness and imperfection is rcn.edied by enlarging 
 the powers of Triistees; and deffiung n.ore specitieally their important duties 
 Sound jmlgment should be exercised by the various Districts in choosing fit men 
 for the office-men of intelligence, of business habits, and of e.lucational zeal. A 
 faithful discharge of the duties of a Tnistee will recjuire no small labour But 
 every community may fairly claim the services ,.f its best men in a matter of uni- 
 versal interest and importance. Besides, provisipn is made for the retiring of one 
 of the members of the trusteeship annually. 
 
 Remark 2. -By the Provisions of sec. 74 (I), it is made the duty of the Board 
 of Irustees to provide School privileges free for all the children of the District and 
 to contract with Teachers. Every Board of Trustees should exercise all its ,x,'wers 
 under law m a wise discharge of these duties, submitting a clear report to the 
 annual meeting of the educational condition of the District, the receipt and expend- 
 iture o aU School moneys, and the amount that the Trustees estimate to be re- 
 qmred tor the due discharge of their duties for the year. ^ It is for the meeting to 
 add to or di„u„,3h tlu.s estimate, according to its best judgment of the requlre- 
 m nts o the Distnct. Should the meeting fail to vote the means necessaiy to 
 meet habihties arising from agreements or con.racts already made by the Trustees, 
 or o be made during the year in order to provide School pri^4Ieges free for all th^ 
 chi dren of he District, the Trustees are empowere-l to levy an.l collect their esti- 
 mate on its being authorized by the Board of Education, sec. 45. The occurrence 
 of the annual meeting near the middle of a School Term, heed not, therefore, in 
 any way prevent schools from being carried on without interruption. 
 
 Remark 3.-The Board of Tnistees should, at its first meeting after an annual 
 School meeting, hx the time and place for its rer,uh,r meetings during the School 
 year, say once a month. Where this is done, no other notice will be required to 
 be given of any regular meeting to members of the Board of Tmstees. Whenever 
 a special meeting of the Board becomes necessary each member of fh. E-a^-^ ■.^--i^i 
 be notifaed of the same. It is competent for a majority of the Board of Trustees;

 Inspector shall deliver to Teachera drafts for tiitar Provincial grant, and 
 to Tru^stee8 orders on the County Treasurer for their- share of the County

 by the Ciiief Superintendent, 
 
 Remark. — The sum placed at the disposal of the Board of Education for Inspec- 
 tors' salaries is insuttieieiit to secure the services of professional men for the office. 
 It is believed that the interests of education will be best promoted by the employ- 
 ment of Inspectors, for a limited period, chiefly in the work of making practically 
 known to tha people the provisions of the law, the steps to be taken to secure its 
 advantages, the requirements respecting School accommodation, the careful and 
 proper adjustment of boundaries, and, in short, all matters necessary to enable 
 every District to become so familiar with correct modes of procedure as to ensure 
 the regular support and proper conduct of Schools. As soon as this condition is 
 reached, the work of inspection proper will require especial attention, and demand 
 professional qualifications for its successful discharge, as contemplated by the fol- 
 lowing Regulation : — 
 
 Regulation 4/J. — Unifm'm Certification of Gatulidates fw Insi)ectw- 
 shifs : In view of the o])eration of Section 1 3 of the Act, all candidates 
 for the office of Inspector thereunder shall have taught for a period of at 
 least three years, and shall have obtained a license of the Gr/immar- 
 School class in accordance with the foregoing Regulations; and upon 
 appointment to office each Inspector shall spend one term at the Provin- 
 cial Normal School, or such time as the Board of Education may require, 
 with a view to a more jilfc-fect acquaintance with the methods of School 
 management and teaching to be employed in the Schools of the Provino*.
