I AIM AND SCOPE, I The aim of the Institute will be to impart a complete education, embracing breadth, variety and thoroughness of scholarship, to train able, moral and patriotic men thoroughly equipped for the work eacli may have to do. Though a private institution it is not intended to be a refuge for laziness or im- becility, but rather a centre of learning, influence and refine- ment. It will retain all the advantages of the best public schools, viz : — 1. thorough discipline and the valuable training ac- quired by the mingling of boys. 2. In the size of the classes, a limited number only being admitted to each class. 3. In making its own regulations, so as to meet the reasonable wants of individual cases without consulting any higher authority. 4. In keeping a healthy moral sentiment, not only by excluding scholars ofl)ad character, but also by privately dis- missing any pupil whose influence seems objectionable without the necessity of public investigation, or of proving any parti- cular offence on his part. 5. In offering a special course to boys who may require it. 6. In tutoring boys who may be backward, or on whom nature has placed some limitation. 7. In retaining the same text books. 8. In having a special study-hour wherein boys will re- ceive froi"^. the masters the help they may require, thus relieving the parents from a serious responsibility. 9. By having the masters participate in the boys games, thus removing any possibility for the use of immoral or in- decent language. I COURSE OF STUDY. Tlie arrangemcin is designed to develope ilie faculties according to nature, by cultivating the powers of observation and the memory in the younger puj^ils, and by deferring to maturer years those studies th^.t call directly for reasoning There will be a three'old division :--A classicd side, a science side and a business side. ■ CLASSICAL SIDE. We have felt that the ti-^ie has not yet come when there exists no longer any necessity for classical training, nay^ we have regarded with surprise and regret the growing loss of interest taken in what has ever been and must ever he the most valuable training which a boy can receive, a training which gives refinement of thought, elegance and correctness of expression, nndacuieness of perception. With a well-endowed University, offering every tacility for a College Education, we regret that so few find their way ro its walls. \ve wish there- fore, to arouse a greater interest in the study of the classics, and to encourage a College Education. Latin and Greek will be taught by none but able and experienced teachers; their study will be made interesting, and therefore agreeable. In this department, boys will be prepared for the profession ex- aminations and the exhibitions of McGill University. To a boy the importance of a thorough preparation is great, since the char.icter and amount of instruction given in the University from the outset, leave little opportunity for one imperfectly fitted, to make up deficiencies, and render it im- possible for him to derive the full benefit from his course, or perhaps even to maintain his standing. On this side, therefore, great stress will be laid on the Classics, Mathematics, English and French. To secure thoroughness, Latin will be taken up in the second form and Greek in the third. Prose Composition will form a prominent feature of the classical training boys will receive in the Collegiate institute. 8 SCIENCE SIDE. In the third form there will be a divergence with regard to Classics, Science or Business. Latin and German will be optional subjects. Instead of these, a boy will receive instruc- tion in extra French, Drawing and Mathematics. On this side, the work of the sixth form will cover the first year of the UniversHy. Practical and Theoreitical Chemistry will form a strong feature of this dej)artment, boys will be prepared for the Kingston Military College, the Boston and Worcester Institutes of Techi.ology and the Science side of \fcGill. Work common to all departments. COMPOSITION. In the youngest classes formal composition will not be required, but exercises will be given every day in sentence- writing, with attention to spelling, punctuation, and use of capitals, as a preparation for the compositions which will be required from all other classes at stated times and on fixed subjects. This much neglected subject will be diligently cul- tivated. The topics will be selected with great care, adapted to the capacity of the respective classes. In the lower forms, pupils will gain facility and correctness of expression. In the upper forms, they will be given subjects which will encourage research and call for the expression of individual thought. Practice in letter-writing will be made an important feature of the general work of all departments. 9 FRENCH. The necessity of acquiring a conversational knowledge of French becomes greater frjom day to day. By-laws are passed daily in our Councils whereby those only who possess a com- mand over both French and English are eligible for the high- est positions m their gift. In our Counting-Houses and Warehouses, there is a great demand for those who can speak French. We have therefore given it great prominence in our course of study. In the upper forms the work will be carried on wholly in French. ARITHMETIC. This subject will be under the charge of a Special Master possessing both experience and -ability. Great care will be exercised to secure accuracy and speed, without contracting the intolerable vice of finger-counting. Special pads containing examples for practice have been prepared, and boys will be sedulously drilled in these until speed and accuracy have been acquired. .. DRILL Military drill affords an admirable exercise. Besides being an excellent physical development, if it is considered as •part of an educational course, its value lies in its particular combination of physical and mental traming in a conveniently practical form, for which no substitute- has thus far been offered. Its discipHne embodies the essential features of ac- tual Military Service, viz: concentrated attention, prompt and unquestioning obedience, alertness and precision of movement. lO DRAWING. A special room will be fitted up, and special instruction will be given in Mathematical, Mechanical and Freehand Drawing. MUSIC. In addition to the instruction boys will receive in school, a glee club will be organized. PHONOGRAPHY. A special class will be organized for boys of the fifth and sixth forms who desire instruction in shorthand. HOME WORK. From the younger classes no home work will be required. In classes were home work is assigned there will be one half hour or more devoted to the preparation of lessons under the supervision and with the assistance of the teachers, II AMUSEMENTS. The basement will be unusually attractive. There will be a bowling alley, a general play room, a top and marble room for the smaller boys and a work-shop. The play -ground is of convenient size. HOLIDAYS. Ten days at Christmas, Good-Friday and Kaster-Monday, the Queen's Birthday. Such other days as may from time to time be proclaimed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. PUNISHMENTS. Corporal punishment will be a thing unknown. Deten- tion after school hours, discredit marks, suspension, and in cases of insubordination and presistent disobedience expulsion, will be the only forms of punishment tolerated. EXAMINATIONS. Monthly examinations we have always considered as a waste of valuable time and the results so far as our experience goes does not justify their continuance. There will be three ex- aminations during the year. At Christmas, at Easter, and in June. Reports of these will be sent to parents N.B. — Where blanks occur in the Curriculum, let it be understood that a suitable text-book has not been decided on. 12 , , GENERAL NOTICE. Parents are earnestly requested to send their children as early as possible so that they naay receive the full benefits of the training given in the Collegiate Institute. They will be received from the age of five and upwards. It is our intention to give them special care, special teaching, and to relieve the monotony of school work by suitable exercise outside and ar^iusement ij^ the basement., FEES. We have made the fees .sufficiently low to put the super- ior advantages offered by the Collegiate Institute within the reach even of those of limited means. They will be paid quarterly in advance. u First Term, Second '' Third " Fourth " First Preparatory, Second First Form, Second " Third " Fourth " Fifth Sixth ' " September ist. - November 15th.
