The former edition of the Grammar School Manual having been superseded, a new one is now issued, in consequence of the recent changes in the Law, and in the Programme of Studies for the Grammar Schools. The text adopted has heen that of Consolidated Statutes relating to Grammar Schools. The Grammar School Improve- ment Act, passed during the last Session of the Legislature, in September, 1865, has been incorporated with the Consolidated Act, and is also inserted by itself in full, with additions from the Municipal Act relating to Grammar Schools ; but only such portions of the Common School Act as apply Grammar Schools have been given. Part in. contains the new Programme of Studies, and the new Regulations in regard to Grammar Schools in Upper Canada. Parts IV. V. and VI. contain the Regulations in regard to the new meteorological stations ; the recent circulars from the Chief Superintendent of Education ; and a summary sketch of the progress of Grammar School education in Upper Canada. Part VII. contains a list of the subjects required for matri- culation in the sevetal Universities of Upper Canada, which will be found to be useful for reference to the teacher. Part XI. contains a copy of the provisions of the law relating to arbitrations between Trustees and Grammar School Masters, with the decisions of the Courts upon the subject. Parts X. XI. and XII. contain information and notices in regard to the Educational Department, Museum, uniform Text Books in the Schools, and Depositories, which will be found of use to parties concerned. A copy of this pamphlet is sent to each Chairman and Secretary of the Boards of Grammar School Trustees, gratui- tously, as authorized by law. Parties requiring extra copies, can be supplied at the terms mentioned on the cover. 4 it til CONTENTS. 4 i TAOH Part I.

EXPLANATORY REMARKS ON THE NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOL ACT. 1. The 1st Section of this Act is dcsifijned to harmonize the Gram- mar and Common School systems in cities. At present the County Council appoints all the trustees of Grammar Schools in the cities, and otherwise exercises exchisive municipal control over the school — although it is, to ail intents and purposes, a city school, and is often aided from city funds. In regard to Common Schools, the city baa the entire control of them. 2. The 2nd Section is designed, also, to give towns and incorporated tillages a voice in the management of the Grammar Schools within their respective boundaries; but it is not desirable to give them exclu- ■ive control, as the area of a town or village is not suflScient for the support of a school, and as many of the pupils come from outside of the town or village, and it is expedient to encourage such attendance. The town or village, however, should have an equal voice with the county in the appoiutment of trustees, as the Grammar School is chiefly •upported by the smalle municipality, and is within its boundaries. 3. The 3rd Section is a nece-sary supplement to the second. 4. The 4t and uncertainty on this subject. 5. The union of Grammar and Common Schools referred to in the 6th Section, does not, as a general rule, work well, nor is it desirable to encourage such unions. Experience has proved that the tendency of these unions is to impair the eHiciency and lower the standard of both kinds of i^cliools to a uniform level. The old law, pas-sed in 1S55, provided for the union of (iramtuar and Common Schools ii\ rather a loose way, but did not provide for the dissolution of the union, nor for a division of the ()roperty, although, in many cases, such a dissolution was desired by the trustees. The old law also provided for the reduct on of the number of Common School trustees, after election, from 8 to (1 on the joint Board, while it left the full number of 8 Grammar School trustees appointed by the County Council. 6. The principle embodied in th" Qth .SVr From these proxisions of the law, it is clearly the object and function of Grammar Schools, not to teach the elfmentnry branches of English, but to teach the higher branches alone, and especially to teach the subjects necessary for matriculation into the University. With a view to the ])romotion of these objects, and for the greater efiiciency of the Grammar Schools, the Council of Public Insfruetiou for Upper Canada, after mature deliberation, have adopted the following Kegulatious, which, according to the twelfth section, and the eighth clause of the twenty-fifth section of the Consolidated Grammar School Act, 22 Victoria, chapter ().'{, are binding upon all IJoards of Trustees and officers of (jrammar Schools tln'oughout Upper Canada, with the exception of the Regulation in Section viit. [page 40J, which is discretionary with the Head Master and Trustees. SECTioN' 1. — Basis axd CoNuirtoxs or- AeeoKTioxMENT ov i hk Grammar SciiooL Find, 1. The Seventh Section of the Act for the further improvc- jnent of Granunar Schools provides as tbllows : — " The appor- tionment of the Grammar School Fund, payable half-yearly to the Grammar Schools, shall be made to each School conducted according to law, upon the basis of the daily average attendance at such Grammar School of pupils in the Programme of Studies prescribed according to law for Grammar Schools ; such attend* ance shall he certified by the Head Master and Trustees, and verified by the Inspector of Grammar Schools. ?. After the first day of January, 18G6, no Grammar School shall he entitled to receive any thing from the Grammar School Fund, unless suitable accommodations shall be provided for it, and unless it shall have a daily average attendance (times of epidemic v..vcej)ted) of at least ten puj)ils learning Greek or Latin ; nor shall any other than pupils w ho have passed the pre- liminary and final entrance examinations, and are pursuing the yearly subjects of one of the two courses of Studies prescribed in the Programme, be admitted or continued in any Grammar School. Section II. — Admission of Pupils Stttuyinc Greek and Latin INTO THK Grammar Schools. 1. The examinations and admission of pupils by the Head Master of any Grammar School, shall be regarded as preliminary fi:id ])rovisional until the visit of the Inspector, who shall finally (xamine and admit all pupils to the Grammar Schools. 2. The regular periods for the admission of pupils commenc- ing classical studies, shall be immediately after the Christinas and after the Summer Vacations ; but the admission of those pupils who have already commenced the study of the Latin lan- guage, may take place at the commencement of each Term. Tht) \^ i ill it' ii:i ,1''' I \ i i'-': ' 34 preliminary exainiimtions for the admission of pupUs shall be conducted by the Head Master; as also examinations for such Scholarships', Exhibitions and Prizes as may have been institu- ted by Municipal Councils as authorized by law,* or by other corporate bodies, or by private individuals. But the Board of Trustees may, if they shall think proper, associate other persons with the Head Master in the examinations for such Scholar- ships, Exhibitions or Prizes. 3. Pupils in order to be admitted to the Grammar School, must be able, 1. To read intelligibly a passage from any com- mon reading book. 2. To spell correctly the words of an ordinary sentence. 3. To write a fair hand. 4. To work ques- tions in the four simple rules of arithmetic, .'i. Must know the rudiments of English Grammar, so as to be al)lo to parse any easy sentence. 4. To afford every possible facility for learning French, girls may, at the option of the Trustees, be admitted to any Gram- mar School on jmssing the preliminary and final entrance examinations required for the admission of boys. Girls thus admitted will take French (and not Latin or Greek) and the English subjects of the classical course for boys ; but they are not to be returned or recognized as pupils pursuing either of the prescribed Programmes of Studies for the Grammar Schools. * The Upper Canada Connolidated Municipal ln»titntion» Act, 22 Vict., ehaj). 61, eeclion 280, euacts tliat Uie Municipal Council of each County, City and Town separated, may pass By-laws for the foliowiug purposes: 1.

CIRCULARS FROM THE CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT OF KDUCATION. 1. TO BOARDS OF TRUSTEK5? OF GRAMMAR SCHOOLS IN UPPER CANADA, With the Nkw Cteammab School Impuovemknt Act and Requlations. Gentlemen, — I herewith transmit you a copy of tlie new "Grammar School Improvement Act," and of the revised Programmes of Studies, which have received the approval of the Governor-General in Council, and which are designed to giv3 eill'ct to the wishes of tlie Legislature, and the compre- hensive ohjects of the Gnmnnar School law, namely : to make the Grammnr Schools the high schools of their respective localities — intermediate schools between the Common Schools and tlv> University — to prepare youth to matriculate in the University, in arts, in l;\w, and in the dcjiartment of civil engineering, to give to intended surveyors their preliminary education, and to impart the higher branches of an English and commercial cducati:'>n to those youth whose parents do not wish tliem to study Greek or Latin. 2. My ])rinted Circulars to the IMunicipal Councils of counties, cities, towns, and incorporated villages, explain the equitable and public grounds on which a liberal municipal support may be reasonably and confidently expected to be given to the Grammar Schools. By the provisions of the nev? Act, a sum equal to one-third will be added to the Grammar School fund, for the payment of teachers' salaries. One conditicni required by the regulation is, that " after the 1st day of January, 1860, no Grammar School shall be entitled to receive any thing from the Grammar School fund unless suitable accommodations are provided for it, and unless it shall have a daily average attendance (times of epidemic excepted) of at least ten pupils learning Greek or Latin." It is not worth while to have a Grammar School in a place where there is not suillcient interest in it to provide suitable accommodations, or the material for the attendance at the Grammar School of at least ten regular pupils in those subjects, the teaching of which was its primary object. It t'l 1' f i; (1 I t '] I i ■18 in much bettor to coiu-ent-atc^ tlip school i'Liiid, and to j^ivo adequate support to a smaller number of f.'ood Grammar Schools, than to dissipate it on a large number of inellicient and nominal schools. ^. Hitherto, many of the Grammar Schools have done littlo- as classical schools, and taught few, if any, of the Entjlish branches of a pood education, whi di have been as well, if not better taui^ht, in many of our Conunon Schools. The object of the law, and of the revised Programmes of Studies, is to prevent any further dissipation of the Grammar School fund in this vray ; to prevent the Gramnuu' Schools from poaching upon Common School ground, or being rivals of Comnuui Schools ; to make them Englisli high scliools ; and to render them efficient in their ajipi'opriate work of elementary classical, and superior Entrlisb education. 13ut while it is intended that they shall accomplish, to as great an extent as possible, the ends of good classical schools, sjiecial regard is had in the secoiul, or English course of studies, to tiio increasingly wide and pressing demands of a high English and commercial education, 8up[)lementary to tlie elenunitary education which is provided in the Common Schools. 4. It will be observed, that the pupils are not to take certain subjects of the Grammar School course as a matter of form, in order to be retained as Grammar School pupils, while they are, in reality, but Common School pupils, almost wholly employed in learning the elementary subjects of Common School instruction. iVone can be recognized as Grammar School pu|)ils but those who really are so, and who are bond fiile pursuing the whole of the subjects in one of the two courses of studies prescribed in the Programmes. The pupils of all the schools are to be finally admitted, on examination, by the Inspector. This pbices all the schools on the same footing, and brings the pupds of each, on their admission, up to the same standard ; and every school shares in the fund according to its work, irrespective of county or locality. Under the provisions of tlic new Act, there is no apportionment to counties according to population, nor any distinction between senior and junior Grammar Schools ; but, as the seventh Bection of the iict expresses it: "The apportionment, payable half yearly to the Grammar Schools, siuill be made to each school coiulucted according to law, upon the basis of the daily average attendance at sucii Grammar School of i ,)ils in the Programme of Studies prescribed according to law r Grammar Schools ; such attendance siiall be certified by the iiead master and trustees, and verified by the inspector of Grammar Schools." 5. During more than ten years, 1 have om})loyed my best :^ 49 eiertioiia to get the grpfit principle of our Common School ayfitem applied to that of the CJraiiiinar Schools, namely : the principle of each municipality [X'ovidinfj! ;! forlain propcrtionato sum, as 11 condition of sharing in the ychooi iund provided by the Legislature. This is the vital principle of our Common Scliool system, and is the main element of its wonderful fiuccess. The intelligent iibeiality of the municipalitiesi has far exceeded the requirements of the law in relation to our upwards of four thousand Common Hohools ; I doubt not a like liberality and intelligence will soon be shown in regard to our one hundred Grammar Schools. G. Kelying upon the liberal co-operation of the county, city, town, and village municipalities, and to facilitate, as far as possible, the labours of the trt^.^tecs, J will make and pay the next year's apportionment of the Grammar School fund, in uid of the (xrammar Schools which are conducted according to law, without waiting for the proportionate sums required by law to be provided from local sources ; but if those sums, ia any instances, are not provided in the course of the year, it will then be my duty to withhold, in all such cases, the payment of any further sums from the school fund, until the deficiency is made up. 7. AV'ith the additional co-operation and means whicli the new Act provides in behalf of Grammar Schools, and the practical Programme of Studies prescribed, it remains for the trustees to employ their earnest and patriotic exertions to make the Grammar Schools, under the Divine blessing, fulfil their noble mission, and prove an honour, as well as a general blessing, to the co'. .iry. I hnve the honour to bo, Sir, Your very ol)edient servant, E. UYERSON. EDnCATlON Ofkicb, TouosTO, 1st December, 1865. 2. clrculi^r to wardens of counties in upper canada, On the New Oeammar Scuool Improvkment Act. Sir, — I have the honour to enclose you herewith, for the iufcrmation of the County Council over which you y)reside, a copy of the new Grammar School Improvement xVct ; by the provisions of which, it will be seen that cities, with one excep- tion, are made counties for Grammar School purposes; and the 50 County Council will hereafter appoint one-hnlf of the members of the Board of Trustees of any Grammar School situated in any Town or incorporated Village, and the municipal Council of such Town or Milage will appoint the other half of the mem- bers of such Board. In regard to Grammar Schools not situ- ated in any Town or Incorporated Village, the new act makeg no change in the mode of appointing Trustees ; the appoint- ment of these trustees still rests with the County Council. 2. The great object of this Act is to make Grammar Schools what they were intended to be, and what they ought to be, — namely : Intermediate Schools, between the Common Schools and the University Colleges — to prepare these pupils for matricu- lation into the University, who intend to acquire an University education — to impart to other pupils the higher branches of an English education, including the elements of French, for those who intend to engage in the various pursuits of lite without entering the University — and also to impart a special prepara- tory education to those who intend to become Surveyors and C'wil Engineers. 3. It is upon tliis broad basis, and with these com])rchensive and important objects in view that the programme of studies and regulations have been revised ; and on these grounds they present strong claims to the liberal sn])port of the counties and municipalities where they are established — not, in any way, being the rivals of the Common Schools, nor permitted to do Common School work, but to ])erfortn a higher educational work of the greatest importance to the advancement of the country, which can neither be done by the C/Oinmon School on the one hand, nor by the College on the other. •1. The progress, institutions, professions and emplovments of our country, togetiicr with the influx of many well cdueiited persons from other countries, render these intermediate Schools an indispensable necessity, if our native youth are to maintain their proper position in society, and if onr country is to main- tain its rank in comparison with other educating and pro- gressive countries. But the (iraminar Scliools cannot accom- plish the objects of their otablisliment without further aid in addition to that of the small Fnnd provided by the Legislature. No such scliools ever did fidlil their mission by nuTi fees of pupils and a small Leiiisiative grant, without liberal local sup- port, unless they had a large inde|)endent endowment— whicli is not the ease with the Grammar Schools of Upper Canada. The County Co\incils have, of late years, created a large number of Grammar Schools ; and tlie autiiurs of any iifTspring ought not to leave it to languish and starve for want of support. 6. It appears from tiie returns of 18(51, that to -lO of the 101 51 Grammar Schools some municipal aid had been granted last year ; but the other 52 Grammar Schools have had no other resources than fees of pupils and the apportionment I'rom the Grammar School Fund. It is not, therefore, surprisinc; that so many of the Grammar Schools are little better than Common Schools, and some of them, both in accommodations and effi- ciency, inferior to the Common Schools in the same Town or Village. This ought not so to be. All reasonable men must admit that it is better to discontinue the Grammar Schools where tliere are no Materials for their operations and support, and concentrate joint legislative and municipal appropriations upon a smaller number of good Grammar Schools, thi.n to dissi- pate these funds upon a large number of i)oor and needless schools. In order to remedy this evil to some extent, it has been ])rovided tlint no Grammar School shall be entitled to share in the Grnmmar School Fund which has not ])roper accommodations provided for it, and an average attendance of at least ten pupils in one of the languages, for teuehiiig which that fund was origiuallv created ; and the Sixth section of the new Grammar Seliool Improvement Act provides that " No Gram- mar School shall be entitled to share in the (irammar School Fund, \inless a sum shall be provided from local sources, ex- clusive of fees, ecpial at least to half the sum ap])ortioiied to such school, and expended for the same purj)oseb us said Fund " — namely, for the salaries of Teachers. 6. The Act does not say in what way the proportionate sum from " local sources" shall be |)rovided ; but I would suggest that, as the (,'ounty Council appoints one half of the Hoard of Trustees lor the management of each GraiiiuHi; School, the County Council should provide one half of the sum required by law to be provided from " loci.l sources" as a condition of shar- ing in the Fund. l?nt a hiy;her and broader ground for this suggestion is, not only that the Cranimav School is a national school and the eomitry has a special interest in it, as has the country at large, as evinced by the Legislative provision for Grammar Si-bools, but a large numlier of rate payers in the country do not send their children to the Conunon SehooN but to the Grammar and other Schools; yet their properties are largely assessed fctr |)rovi(ling Common School premises and for supjiortini; Common Schools. It is but eipiitable, therefore, to these ratepayers — apart from other considerations — that a ?mall port on, at least, of the srlioul assessuu-nts in counties should go to support the one or more county Graitnnar Schools. It is to be recollected that the county school assessment forms but a small part of the assessnu'Uts levied (Ity Municipal ('oun- cils ami Trustees) in the county for School purposes; and it is only by the (.'uunty ('ouueil granting some part ot its school 52 "ii "I I'; f assessments in aid of CJrainiiinr Sciiools, that it can do justice to those ratepavcrs who have sent or are sending; their chiUlren to the Grammar and to other than Common Schools, yet have paid assessments in all ])ast years for the support of (/ommon Schools. Therefore, upon these personal grounds of equity hetween different classes of ratepayers, as well as upon these hroad, piihlic and national a:rounds, I trust your County Coun- cil will aid in doinir for the few Graniniar Schools what has hcen so lonu: and liberally done bv all classes ibr the Common Schools. 7. Relyinu; upon your intelliu;ent and liberal co-operation (which yon h.ave so nobly evinced in regard to the Common Schools), and anxious to the utmost of my ])ower to facilitate the exertions of your (iramniar Sehr .1 Trustees, I will make and j)av the apportionment for ISlili m aid of each Grammar School conduetv'd accordinti; to law, without waitini; for *lie payment of the proportionate sum required hy law to be pj - vided Irom local sources. The vital principle of our Coinmou School syisfem, and the most potent element of its great success, is this co-operation between the LeirislatiU'c and each miniici- jiality in its support. Many m.uiieipalities have far exceeded the re(iuived conditions of the law in making j)rovision for Common Schools ; I trns,, by a similar intelligence and liberality in re- gard to the Grianmar Schools, it will soon i)e ycmr hapf)ines9 to see them, Kpudly with the Common Schools, fuHilling their npproprii'te mission, ami conferring inestimable blessings upon the country. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your very obedient servant, i:. IIYEKSON. EcucATKis Office, 'I'orunto, 9ih Nov., hsCO. 3. Clflt'lKAK TO MAYOKS OK CITIKS IN Ul'l'KU CANADA, On iiiK Nrw (rUAMUAR HcjKioL Impiiovbmknt Aci'. Sir, — I have the honour to transmit herewith, for the infor- mation (it tile Couneil over which you preside, a copy of the new Grammar School Improveiiieiit .\et, the lirst section of which proxides, that " Each city shall, for all Grammar School |>ur[i(iseH, be a County; and its Miiiiicipal Council shall be invested with nil the (iranimar Scbriol powers now possessed by County Councils; but when, and so long as, the (uily (iram- mar School in the County is situated within a City, the ('ouncil of such Comity shall app.-int one half the Trustees of such Grammar School." The City of Kingston is the only city to 53 which the latter (.-laiiso of tliis section of the Act npplies. The sixth section of the Act provides, that ** No Grammar School shall he entitled to share in the Grammar School Fund, unless a sum shall be provided, from local sources, exclusive of fees, equal at least to half the sum ajiportioned to each school, and expended for the same purpose as the said iund" — namely, for the payment of Teachers' salaries. I have suirgested to the (bounty Council, that as it, jointly with your City Council, ap- ])()ints the Trustees, each Council should provide one half of the amount retpured to i)e raised from local sources. This may he done by uuiking an appro|»riiilion iVom the clergy reserve moneys, or from the general funds of the municipality. Tlie new Act places your Grammar Schojjl wholly under the management of a Board of Trustees, appointed by your Council ; and the object of the Act and of the recently revised Programme of studies is, to malie your Gratnmar Scl;ool what it ought to be, a High School for your ('ity — an intermediate School be- tween the Common Schools and the University — preparing pupils to matriculate into the University, either in arts, or ^Hv. or in the dipartmeut of civil engineering, providing for . '.iii'd surveyors their preliminary education, and imputing ■(■■ 'm :her branches of an English and commercial education to tiiuse youths whose parents do not wish them to study Greek or Latin. The progress and institutions of our country render such schools an indisj)ensable necessity. 3. Considering, therefore, the objects and importance of your Grauunar School, and that it is to be hencetbrth under the Tuauagemetit of a IJoard of Trustees i.ppointed liy your Coinicil, I ctmtidcntly trust that nothing will be wanting on the part of your Council to jirovidc as liberally for the acconnuodations and support of your (irauunar Seliool as you nave for tlie accommodation and support of your Common Schools. Many of your citizens have never sent their chil Ircn to the common scliools, though tbeir pro|)erty has been largely taxed to j)ro- vide for the acconunodation and suj)port of thost^ scbools. It is but just, therefore, to such citizens, apart from other bigiuT aiul more public considerations, that a portion of your future Seliool assessments slutuld go to provide lor the accom- modation and support of your public Grammar School. , 4. Relying upon your int( lligent ami liberal co-(»peration iu regard to your (Jrammar School, and desirous of taei'itating, as fur as possilde, the exertions of the Trustees winch you may appoint, 1 wdl pay the apportionment to it in lH(i(i, without waiting for the proportiomile sum re(piired by law to be pro- vided from local sources. I trust your (iraninuir School will fluuu take its aitpropriate place among the public schools of your 51 111-' t.l city — SO honourable to the citizens and so hopeful for their offspring. 1 have the honour to be.

With a view to furnish the reader with a brief view of the history and progress of (Jrammar School EdiU'ation in Upper Canada, the following siunmary sketch on the subject is in- serted : In 17H!», in compliance with a memorial presented to Gov- ernor (leneral Lord Dorclicster, praying for the cstal)lishnient of a public scliool near Cataracpii (Kingston) — the most central part of Upper Canada- he directed the setting apart of hind for^ til cndownicnt of schools in the new townships in that part of the Province; but n<» sdnml wcs actually estalilished at that time^ Li I7!)'J, a private ( las^ical School was establislied at Newark (Niagara), and in ITlld, one way established at York (Toronto). In 1707, ilo subject having been brought before the Upper 56 Canada Lesrislature by Governor Simcoe, on a despatch received from the Duke of Porthmd, a memorial was sent to the Kins;, pravuig for tlie <^rant of a sufficient quantity of land to endow a Grammar School in each of the four districts into which the new j)rovince was divided, and a University for Upi)er Canada. The prayer of the memorial was granted ; and 50U,(HK) acres of land were set ajjart for the purposes specified. In 1798, Piesident Russell requested his Executive Council, the jiulges and the law officers of the Crown, to submit to him a scheme of education for the Province. They did so ; and recommended a sum of monev to be granted for the erection of a school house at King- ston, and in the Newcastle District, for the accommodation of 100 pupils, with a residence for the master. They also recom- mended that a University be erected at York. The claims of Cornwall and Sandwich for a school were, in the mean time, to remain in abeyance. Nothing was done, however, except to bring out from Scotland, Mr. (now tlu; IMght Rev. IJishoj)) Strachan, as President of the proposed College. Before Mr. Strnchan arrived, however, the })roject of the College was aban- doncil, Governor Simcoe went to England, and Dr. Strachan opened a school at Kingston and subsequently one at Cornwall. In ISOi'i, a temporary Act was passed, establishing a Public School in each of the eight districts into which Upper Canada was divided, and granting dCiOO per ainuim for each teacher. In 1807-S, this Act was made permanent. In 181", Common Schools wjre first established by law in Upi)cr Canada. In 181!), another District School was opened; and provision was first inatle for holding jtublic examinations — for reporting on the condition of tlie schools to the Government and ior educat- ing ten Common School j)Uj)ils as free scholars at e.ich District ScIkkjI. Tiie allowance of .t'lOO was reduced to £?>0 wherever the number of pupils did not exceed ten. In 182,'5, a I'rovincial Hoard of Education was established. In IB'Jt tlie germs of a library system were developed. Subse- (piently, and down to IS.'}'), other steps of progress were made. In IS.)!), ijie teinis " District School" were chani'ed to those of ''Grammar Scliool ;" and .t'L'OU were offered to each District which would raise an equal amount for the erection of a (iram- mar School bnildin-r. t'lOO were also olfcrcd for the estaidish- ment of a stdiool in each of four towns (not nearer than six miles to the (bounty Town) at whicii not less than sixty [lujiils were to be educated. In 18."i.>, tlie (irammar School Act was passed. To render the transition from an old to a new system more easy, many of the provisions of the former Grammar School Acts were 57 i^ou In 5i\l)se- iiule. those istrict Jram- ihlish- miU'S vort" to ri'iiilor uiiuiy 3 were retained.

Conslilution of the Arbitration Court, Any one who can contract can submit matters in dispute to arbitra- tion. Kither a friend or enemy, or a person having an interest in the cause, may be chosen. All the three arbitrators must bo selected before proceeding to the arljitralion. Where there jire three or other odd num- ber (it arliitrators, a majority decides all matters submitted to them; but, when; the nundier is t-vo, four, etc., who are eipially divided in their opinions, an\ ump' who may lie selected has the sole right to deterinin>) the points of diflercnce, and make the award. 2. Duties of ./Irbitratori. It i,« the duty of arbiiri>tors to iiear evidence on both sides. If par- tie? to the arbitration, and their witnesses, who are duly notified, do not attend, the arliitrators can proceed, ex imrte, and decide according to th'i best evidence befure them. An arbitrator cannot delegate his power; but, if he (ilitains the oiiinioii of ]ir(ifes3ional men, lie may adopt it a.i bis own. He may, however, itelegate purely ministerial acts, such as to go from one place \i> another, to obtain certain definite information, or esti- ninte tiie value of -ome sporilic work |>erfori:icd ; but, he cannot direct any person to commit a tiesiiass.

As many jiarties in cirrespoudcnee with the 1-^tluoational Department lio not comply with the jio-tage law in the pie-jmyment of their letters, (thereby increasing the postnge charge by nearly fifty per cent.,) the effect has been to swell unduly this iteni of the contiiigeucien of the De- partment. It nnty be that this emission arii^es from the inip'\'8sion that tlie oflicial corrt^spondenoo of tiie Kdueational br.'mch of the public service, like that of ihe Cabinet Executive Department, goes free. Hut this is aTi entire mistake, aa the Educational Department forms on exeeptiou, and it* rontingcnt expenses are prof)ortionateiv increased bv a charge fmni which the other I'ublie Departments of a similar character are exemj't. Wo would suggest, therefore, in future, that all eorresponf one cent per ounce Local Superiniendents and Itaeheis orderinj,' book* froin the K lucatiotml Depository, will, theiefore, plfftse send such an udtliiional sum for the payuicnt of tlud postage, at th« rate ipentii'd, as tn.iy be i/ecessurv. 69 • ^vil be necessary f.. nnv ,v ■ V'^ P''<'^e"t ci "ar ''°, P''"^"'*-^'' for by '"umcation to the S,;! • T^ ^'^ ""»'Je with aoovL "'°"'' "'« pa;tv have au opport„„Uv ;r ;^ Sj/-Je„t, i" oX" aT'^ucf ''""^ '«'- ■* ■2'ocuments Fum;- f,«^ a ,V .. f„ll„„,„ff „,.„ ,„,„,.„ , , . ^'"' °' t'PPOT Canada '^"'' 1^ 70 $ 1.

The Superintendent of Schools in the State of New York reprepents, in one of his annual reports, that one of the greatest evils to the Schools in that State was book- sellers and their agents bribing teachers, by presents of books, and sometimes b^ giving a per centago on the saU; of their school bookj, introduced by the teacher into his scho-l . so that each new teach'-r employed in a school would decry the books introduced by lur. predecessor, and insLst upon throwing them aside, and getting new ones recommended by him. To such an extent did this evil grow in the State (jf Massachusetts, tliat the Legislature jiassed an Act rendering it penal for a bookseller, or his agent, thus to try and get las books sold in a'ly .school.
