That estahlished at Cornwall, under the mastership of .Mr. Strachan (now tlie hon. tile right rev. the i.,ord Hishop of Toronto), was most elllcient. In 181(). nine vears after the e.stablislimont of the (irammar schoofs, the Legislature of I'piier Canada passed the (irst Common school law for that iirovince, and approjiriated !*24,()(K) per aniiiiin for the mainte- nance of Common schools. In 1820 this sum wus re- duced to #l(t,(MHI. in 1S22, a Hoard of Kdtication for Upper Canada was estal)lished for the sujiervision of trie Granimur schools, and the management of the University and School lands, which Inul been granted for those juir- ])osesl)y his .Majesty (Jeorge III. in 17(18. Some regula- tions were adoj>ted; and in 1824, an attempt was made to introduce Common and >Suiiday school liliraries. Nevertheless, the zeal of tlie public in behalf of educa- tion gradually lanirnislied ; and it wa.s not until IS.'J;') that an ellort was niaile to reviv(> it. In that year a bill to promote it was passed in the House of Assembly, but failed to pass in tlio Legislative Council. In 183<'i, an elaborate report waf< prepared by Dr. Thomas Duns- combe JI.IM*., chairman of the Educational com- mittee of the House of Assembly, on the state of edu- cation in the various jiarts of the adjoining Union which he visited. He also i)repared a draft of a Hill, which \vas prir d, but never passed, flie jiolitical crisis of 1837 soon followed, overwhelming in con- fusion all our school legislation and i;reveiiting further attention being given to the subject at that time. I.— I'lIBLIC CO.M.VON BfirOOLS. (1.) The Common Schoo/ Si/stem.—Jn 1841, a bill was passed restoring our Common schools, authorizing the establishment of .Seiiarate schools, and tracing the (Uit- liues of a system of education. In 1844. the rev. Dr. l{yerson, the present head of the Department, was ap- pointed. He sjieedily set himself to reconstruct, U])on a broader and iiiiu'e lasting fouuilation, our entire system of iiublic instruction. As a preliminary step, lie devoted a year to the examination and comparison of the sys- tems of educati(Ui in Kuroiie and America, and em- bodied the results in a " Report on a Svstem of I'ublic Kleiiieutary Instructi(ni in Upper ('aiiada." 'fliis valuable ri'port sketches, in a comnreliensive manner, the system of public instruction which is now in suc- cessfiu o)ieration among us. The chief outlines of the system are •■imilar to those in other countries. We are indebted in a great degree to New York for the machinery of our schools, to -Massa- clmsetts for the iirincijile upon wliicli tliev are sii])- l)orr(>(l, to Ireland for an admirable series of Comnuni scho(d books, and to Cermany for our system of Normal school training. All, however, are so niodilied and bl.nided to suit the circumstances of the country, that they are no loiig(>r exotic, but " racy of the soil." In several important jiarticiilars, our I'ublic School system clifl'ers fr(un any other on this continent. The chief points id' diirereiice are as follows: 1. It provides for siiecilic religious instruction, and tile co-oiieration and visitation of the local clergy of the various religions persuasions. 2. I'lie chief e.\ecutive is a non-political and porma- iieiit ollicer. 3. 1'axatiou for its support is voluntary on the part of tlie various municipalities. 4. it prohibits the use of foreign books in the English branches of instruction, excejit by sjiecial permis- sion, — thus preventing tlie introduction of heteroge- necius text-books, and those inimical to our iustitu- ti.iiis. 5. It provides for the supply of maps, school appa- ratus, pri;:c, and library booka to oU thi scuwols, direct from the Dejmrtment, and grants 100 per cent, on local ai)pro|)riations for this [lurpose. ti. It ])rovides for the iieiisit:ning of superannuated or worn-out teachers. 7. It jirovides for taking and recording meteorologi- cal <'t)servations at the senior County (.iramniar schools. (2.) Cotnni I School Sfafislics. — Each township is divided into school s(ictions of a suitable extent for one sclio(d, and in each of these sections three trustees are elected to manage its school alliiirs. In cities, towns, and villages, the schools are mamiped bv a Hoard of School trustees, elected for the municipiillty. 'I'liere were 4,104 ('(million schools in Upjier Canada in lSt)2, including 109 Honian Catholic Seiiarate schools, attended by 343,73.3 pujiils, of which 14,700 attended the Roman Catholic Separate scluxds.

(4.) /''nc J'lih/ir IJhraric.t, Maps, and Apparatus. — The Chief Su]ierinteiideiit in his report for 18i;2 states that "I'lie system of free public libraries is as follows: A carefully (^dassitied catalogue of about four tluMisand works (wlii'.'h, al^er examination, have been apiiroveil by the Council of I'ublic liistructi(ui), is sent to the trustees of each school sectiim and the council of each municiiialitj . From this catalogue the municipal or school autlKU'ities desirous of establishing or iiii)U'ov- ing a library, select such books as they think jiroper, and rec(>ive from the Department the books desired (as far as they are in jiriiit or stock) at cost prices, with an apportionment of (Uie hundred per cent, ujion whatever sum or sums they transii'r towards the pur- clias(> of books. l"he libraries are managed by the local councils and trustees according to general regu- lations, as provided by law, by the Council of I'ublic Instruction." Up to the end of Dec. 1862, about .jl8 libraries had been established, containing more than 12(K1 sub-divisions, and 198.848 vols. " Plie maps, globes, and various articles of school apparatus sent (uit by the D(>i)artment, apportioninjEf or.e hundred jier cent, uiion whatever sum or sums are jirovided from local sources, are nearly all manufactur- ed in Canada, and are better executeci at lower jirices than imi)orted articles of tlie same kind. 'I'he globi , and ma])s manufactured (even to the material) in Ca- nada, contain the latest discoveries of voyagers and travellers, and are executed in the best manner, as are tellurians, mechanical powers, numeral frames, geo- metrical forms, &c. All this has been done by em- ploying comjietitive private skill and enterju'ise. The D( partment has furnished the mauufactnrers with the cojiies and models, ])iirchasingc(>rtaiii (piantiti(>sof the articles when manufactured at stijjulated prices, then I>erinitting and encouraging them to manufacture and disjiose of these articles themselves to any jirivate I)arties d(>siring them, as the Department sui)plii\s them only to miiniciiial and school authorities. In this way new domestic manufactures are iiitrodi!ce(l, and nie'chanical and artistic skill and enterprise are encou- raged, and many aids to school and domestic instruc- tion, heretofore unknown among us, or only attainable in particular cases with difiiculty and at great ex- pense, are now easily and cheajily accessible to private lamilies, as well as" to ]iublic ihuniciiial and school authorities all over the country.

The series of National Canadian I'exf- books (adojited and adajited from those of the Irish NatiiMial hoard) arc now so universally used in our schools, that the detailed table on this subject is not reiieated. It is worthy of remark that the text-books specially prejiared aiid adapteil for the Canadiriii scliools are rapidly superseding tliose for which they were intended as substitutes. " On the ado](tion of the deoiinal svstoni of currency in Canada it was felt tint the .National arithmetics sliould be aihipted to it. 'fhis task was undertaken bv Mr. Sangster, the inathematical master id' the Normal school, who has compiled both a large and a small arithmetic, upon the plan of the Xational Arithmetic, greatly improved and illustrated bv i xamples taKeii from Canailiaii statistics. These arithmetics, published by the enter])rise of Jlr. I.iOvell, are alreadv used in l,90i5 sclu: -being an increase of 78'' sciiotds during die year: while the use of the idd National Arithmetic lias decreased during the year to tlie extent of 734 schools. "2. file same remark applies to Sf-.

A Girls' Model school was added in this year. The i'nstitntiim consists of a Normal scliool and two .Model sclio(ds : the former, the School id' Instruction by i.,ecture; the Intter, the School of Instruction by I'ractice. 'fhe students in the former are young iier- sons whose ages vary from 10 or 18 to 30 and over; while the jHipils in the latter are children between the ages of 5 and 10 years.

Contemporaneous with and indicative of the growth and development of the educational system of Upper Canada, has been the history of the de]iartinent itself. Originally a branch of the Provincial Secri'tary's de- partment (who was, e.r oilirio, chief siiiH'rintencient of education), with an assistant superintendent and a clerk, it has gradually expanded into a distinct and important branch of the pnltlic service. It now occu- pies, with its three excellent accessory schools, a hand- some str'iictiire. w liicli was siiecially erected by author- ity of the Legislature for tliat purpose.

The Unirrrsitt/ of Toronto. — The Univ'>rsity of To- ronto -was established by Royal charter, of the 15tli of JIarcli 1827, under tho title of " Kinj^'s College." The followinjr year, 3rd of .Iiinnary 1.S28, it was endowed, by patent, with a frrant of the lands which had been set ai>art for that purposes by the Crown in 179S, at the reciuest of the rarliament of Ujiper Canada. Tho arrangements bavinj? been comjileted for opening the University, tho formal inauguration of the institution and first admission of students, took place on the 8tli of Juno 184", and its tirst convocation on the 14th December 1844. Various acts relating to tho University have boon riaased by the Trovincial ParliatniMits. Jn 1853, I'ar- liainent passed another Act (10 Victoria, cap. 89), seiiarating tho functions of tho University from those assigned to it as a College," and abolisliiiig the profes- sorships of law and medicine, and the rights and pri- vileges of the Convocation, which had been guaranteed in the original charter, and continued and enlarged by the Act of 1849. Under this present Act tlie Uni- versity of Toronto is modelled after the University of London, England, and is governed by a Senate ajipointod by the Oown. Its functions consist in pre- scribing courses of study in the faculties of law, med- icine, and arts, and such other branches of knowledge a.s maybe determined; appointing examiners for as- certaininfT the proficiency of persons desirous of lit- erary distinction in the appointed subjects of studv; and conferring the appropriate academical degrees and lionors upon iHich as attain the required profl- cioncy, and comply with the prescribed regulations. Tlie officers of the Senate are, a chancellor, ap- Eointed by the Crown, and a vice-chancellor, elected y the Senate from amongst it,s members. There are no professorships in the University. Examiners are appointed annually by the Senate, in law, in med- icine, and in arts, who hold examinations at such times iu each year as the Senate may appoint. In addition I Common and Sejiarate schools, and for tlie Normal school, the Kducational depository, the .Miisenin, licit- sloiis to Kiiperanniiateil teachers, and other services, ■ pro\idiiig teachers' registers, blank reports, and re- ) turns for trustees, local siiperinteiidents, clerks, and treasurers of inuiiicipalilies, iiiid the .loiinin/ of I'.itti/- ciiliiiii (besides edithig it) to each local superintendent and school corporation in Upper Canada, the jirepara- tion of tlu^ annual ri'iiort of the Chief Siipeiintendent, general correspondeiici' relating to the promotion of education, &c. Kitiiciitioudl MiiHiiim. — Connected with the I'.duca- tional Depiirtment is a museum, containing siiecimens of school apparatus and furniture; a valuable collec- tion of Italian, Dutch, and Klemish oil paintings, and statuary casts and busts. I'he museiiin is freely open to the public.

Upper Canada Colle(/e. and Royal Grammar School, in connection tvith the ('nirersity of Toronto.— TMn College was established in the year 1829, by the then Lieut-Governor of Upper Canada, Sir John Colborne, (the late Lord Seaton ), as an institution for general education, and which might titly prepare the way for, and ultimately assist in tilling, the Provincial Univer- sity, then only projected. Having tlrst obtained the concurrence of the College Council to the establish- ment of a lioyal Grammar Sctwol, he submitted to Parliament a plan for its connection \vith the Univer- sity; and his proposal having been acceded to, the title of the Koyal Grammar School was changed to that of Upper Canada Colleqe, and the institution opened for the purposes of tuition on the 4th January 1830. The institution stands in the same relation to the Univer- sity, as the Preparatory and High schools of other Universities, although supi)orted by an endowment of it3 own, besides the ordinary fees from pupils. At present it is placed under the majiagement of the Sen- ate of the University of Toronto; but the principal, masters, and teachers are appointed by the Governor. Prizes of books and certificates of honor are given every year to those who distinguish themselves in any of the subjects taught in the College. His Excellency the Governor General otTers annually a valuable prize of books for the best examinations m the higher de- partments of the College curriculum. At the annual public examination in July exhibitions are competed for, varying in value from S120 to SHO per annum. Competition for them all is open to the grammar schools of the whole Province. More than 2,600 of the youth of the Province have received their education, in whole or in part, in Upper Canada College. The first classi- cal, and the mathematical masters, were pupils of the Institution, as were likewise the greater portion of the medal-men, scholars, and honor-men of our Univer- sities. George K. R.

I nil! rHilji if lirtorin Co/lit/e, ('otioiirt/. — ih. exist- ence ol this c'oll(>ge is due to the eti'orts of the Confe* rence of the Wesleyaii Methodist Church. l>iirilig the veais \^'1H and '1H29, plans were devised for the esturilishnient of an Academy for the superior educa- tion of both sexes; and In IHiiO, the Conlerence ap- pointed a committee to collect subscriplimis, and select a site fur the jiroposed institntion, which they then named I'ppir Ciimtdit Arndemij. After oilers (if donations of land and money from various parts of the Province, the town of Cobourg was selected, for the liberality of its otler and central position. Upwards of *2H.tHH» were collecleil, and in the autumn of 18.'32 the buildings were (commenced. Various circumstances, however, delayed the comple- tion of th(> work; and it was not until the 18th Juno lH,3tl, that the /Vcademy was formally opened. On the 12111 October of the same year, a Kdyiil charter of in- corjioration was obtained; and also, about the same time, a public grant, prlncijially through the exertions of the chief originator of the college, the rev. Eger- ton Hyerson, D.D., 1J..D. In 1K41 application was made to Parliament for an alteration in th(> (constitu- tion of the academy, and its establishment as a uni- versity; and accordingly the Act 4 and Tt Victoria, cap. 37, was passed, conferring the usual University powers U|ion its aiithor'ties, under the title of " Victoria Col- lege at Cobo.irg." Under this Act the management of the college is entrusted to a board, composed of nine trustees ami live visitors appointe(l by the Conference, and to a senat(>, com|i()S(>d of the president, professors, members of the board, and certain officers of (lovern- nieiit, for the time being. The Faculty of Arts has b(M'n in operation since 1842. In 18ri4 an arrangement was made with the Toronto .School <-f .Medicine, by which that institution became the Uacnity of .Medicine of the University; and in 1802 a Facult/ of Law was added to the University. The High sclni d, or prepar- atory dejiartment, sustains to th(! College the relation of a (irammar or lligli school, and is designed to final- ify jiupils for the University course, or to give then, an elementary training in any or all of the following sub« jects, viz.: arithmetic, geograi)liy, history, P^nglish grammar, reading, penmanship, "book-kiVping, alge- bra, natural philosophy, Frencli, Latin, and Greek languages. Students pri'senting themselves for admis- sion into this department, are classed according to their attainments, and instructed in such branches as are deemed most suitable. No r(>ligious tests are pro- scribed; but all students are required to attend divine service on th(> Sabbath, in connection with whatever church they or their parents prefer. Th(>y are also re- quired to attend prayers, with the reading of the Scrip- tures, In the College chapel, in the morning and even- ing of each day. The institution is supported hy the sale of scholarships, fees, and nn annual Parliamentar/ grant. Its landed endowment income is limited by the charter ot incorporation to X2,000 sterling per annum. It has no permanent endowment, and is sup- ported by voluntary contributions and fees, supple* minted by an annual Parliamentary grant of $5,000; also 81,000 to the Faculty of Medicine. Its annual in- come from these sources (not including the Medical Faculty) amounts to about S?9,500. The number of pro- fessors and tutors in the F'aculties of Arts and 3Iedl- cine, including the president, is fourteen. The num- ber of students is aoout two hundred, not including preparatory students. Tlie I'rince of Wales' gold and silver medals, and three or more prizes in books, are annually distributed among the most d- -erviiig students.

In 18Ul, the Koyal Institutiiiu for the Advaiicunient of Li-ttruing was created; but the members of the Hoard l)eiii)j; comjiosed Krcnch language, it was a decideil failure. Aft<>r twenty years of existence, it had 37 schools and 1(48 pupils. It reached as a max- imum 84 schools and 3t)75 pupils. In 1824, the Legis- lature pU'^sed an Act entitled, •• .\n Act for the Kn- couragement and Endowment of Elenu'ntary schools in the rarishes." Tlnit Act jirovided for the estab- lishment of one school in each jiarish, through the apavcy of t\H\f(ihri;s one acn? of land whereon to buibl a new sclioolhou.-e, and to iiiiply one fourth of its revenues to the maintenance of the .-chool.-i. In 182!) an Act was passed providing for the election of scliool trustees in each parish or fownsliiii— for the payment of a salary of twenty pounds to eacli teacher wliose school would nund)er twenty i)ui)ils, with an addition of ten shillings for each i)uiiil l)elonging to any i)oor family taught free in the school. The same Btiitnte |)rovided also that tlie (iovernment was to pay one half of the building of school-houses, under cer- tain conditions; the whole amount not to exceed £2000 per annum. Several Acts were subseipiently passed an\ending and extending those previous Acts. They contain jirovisions for aid to colleges and girls' aca('emijs, and various sums voted to .Mr. I'errault and to the Quebec Education society for the introduc- tion of the I.iancasterian system. A"d<>af and dumb in- stitute at (Quebec was also provided for, and under the auspices of Mr. Uonald JIacdonaI was under the Operation of the law l(i(K) schools, wbei-ein 40,IKK) chil- dren were taught; most of which had to be closed. In the meantime, however, several colleges had been erected and wen? in a most flourishing condition. AVhen Lord Durliam came here, with all the powers and attributes of vice-royalty, lie t'ouiul, as he had Stated, Lower Canada i:i the anomalous position of a country where supeiior ediicatiiui was niii|ilv jiro- vided for. while nothing almost was done for elemen- tary eclueatid for his assiduity, perseverance, and integrity, and considering the great ditiiciilties he had to contend with, by the violent ojijiosition to school assessment, made in several iiarts of the country by contem])tiblo seekers of jioiuilar fame, justly branded with the French name of rfcif/noirn, he may be said to have been gene- rally successful in his administration. Dr. Meilleur is now without a situation, and his claims on the (io- vernment for a pension are strongly urged by all tho friends of education. He was succeeded by the Hon. I'ierre .1. (>. Chauveau, who had been a ileinber of I'arliament for the County of Quebec during eleven years, and had lilled succe.ssively the oflices of .Solic- itor deneral for LoNver Canada and of Secretary of tho Province. In his lirst report, Jlr. Chauveau recommended va- rious reforms; and for the acc(unplishnieiit of most of them, two laws were jiassed in "^he session of 185'!. < )no of thein chiefly relates to suiierior, the other to elemen- tary education, 'file most ini|)ortaiit features ot this new legislation consisted in iirovidiiig for the distribu- tion through the .Superintendent, ami on his rejiort, of the aiinual grants to l.'niversities. Colleges, Academies, and Model Schools; the creation of several Niu-mal Schools instead of one; the publication of .Journals of Education; the appiuntinent ol a Council of Public Instruction, and the creation of a teiu'hers' jiensic li fund, on the same jirinciple as that of l.'iijier Canada. 'I'li(>se measures have all been carried into effect. There are now jjiiblished two .lournals of Education, one in Fri'iich and the other in English. They are issued alter- nately every lortnight, are conducted by the Sujierin- teiidenf with an assistant for each of them, and, with the e.\cei)tioii of the ofiicial notices, the articli's and selections are different in each. The jirice of subscriji- tion is one dollar for each, 'feachers an? allowed a cojiy of both, or two coj lies ofeit her for the same jirice. It is sent free to juiblic institutions, and to the School Cominissioners (or their us<>an(l that id'teachers uiiablo to subscribe. Each number contains one or more illus- trations.

The two others are intended for Catholics ; and the teacliing is carried on chiefly in French. The Knglish language is however taught to the French pujiils; and arrange- ments have been made that instruction may be also im- parted to any Knglish puiiil-teacher in his own verna- cular. In the Model Schools there are French and English teachers, about an e(inal number of children of each origin, and the two languages are placed i)recise- ly on the same tooting. The .AIcGill School started with the boys' and girls' department in full ojieration. The girls' department of the Laval Normal School was opened on the 15tli of Seiitember 1857.

The council has appointed thr<'i> standing commit- tees : one for the forming and niHlntaining of rules for its own internal disciidine, one for the selection of books for schools, and a third for the forming of rules and regulations for the various objects above men- tioned. In order to meet the diflftculty which always occurs in the selection of school books from the i'act that even books of purely secular instruction are often more or less tainted with the religious views of theirauthors, the Council have agreed that the recommendatiims from the Committee on books will be of three ditferent natures : books are recommended either by the whole Committee, or by the l'rot<^staiit members, or by the Catholic members only. The committ(>e of approval mention the facts wh(>reby parents and teachers are made aware of the religious tendency of the books. The Council have adopted rules and regulations for the guidance of Hoards of E.xaminers with programmes, which can be obtained in jjamiihlet form by api)lying to the Education oflice or to any of the Inspectors of Schools. (*) The local jurisdiction of the Boards has been defined, and six of tiieni only, viz.. the I'rotestant and Catholic Boards of (Quebec and of Slontreal, the Boards of Sher- brooke and of Three Rivers, have the power of granting diplomas for Academies and for >Iodel Schools. riie difference between these diplomas or certilicatea and those granted by the Suijerintendent to the |)U])ils of the Normal Schools is that the former are only good for the sjiace of three years and over a limited portion of lyower Canada, while the latter confer the jiower of teaching in the whole e.xtent of Lower Canada and need not b(i renewed. It has b(>en found that under these new rules and regulations a great advance has aln'ady been made in the (lualillcations of teachers, and the ilepartment has been enforcing the law iiun-e rigidlv.

In that document, published by order of Parliament, the Superintendent strives first to estab- lish th(( importance of insi)ection, and quotes the au- thority of statesmen of other countries. Among others the following i)assage from Mr. Guizot's Memoirs is to be found in the said report: — " Another ])lan, unforeseen and difficult of execu- tion, ajjpeared to me necessary in order to establish relati(nis with the teachers dispersed throughout France, to know them leal'v and to act upon Ihein in other ways than by casual and empty words. One month after the i)romulgation of the new law, I order- ed a general inspection of all the elementary schools in the kiiiffdoni, jjiiblic or ])riviite. I desir(>d"not only to v(M'ify the external and material facts which usually form the object cf statistical iii(|uiries on the (piestion of primary iiHtruction, — such as the number of schools and scholars, their classitication, their age, and the incidental <>xpenses of the service, — but 1 ])articularly directed the Inspector to study the interior economy of the schools, the ajjtitude, zeal, and conduct of the teachers, their relations with the i)upils, the famili(>s, and the local authorities, civil and religious; in a word, the moral state of that braiK'h of education, and its results. Facts of this nature cannot be ascertained at a distance, by means of correspondence, or (lescri|)tioiis. Special visits, personal conimuuication, and a close exaniinaticin ot men and things, are indispensable to this just estimate and understanding. Four hundred and ninety i)ersons, tlie greater number of whom were functionaries of every tu'der in the university, gave tlieinselvos \\\> during four months to this arduous investigation. fhirty-three thousand four bundled and lifty-six schools were actually visited, and niiiintely described in the Keports aloped, than for the number and vuriet/ of the facts comprised.

At the same time it ]>owerfully sfimiilated the teachers, by iin])ressingon them a sense of the inteivst attached to their office, and of the vigilance with which they were overlooked. " Two years later, on my proposition, a Koyal decree transformed this casual "and single insjjection of the Elementary Schools into a permanent arningement. In every district an lns])ector was api)ointefects, and the (ieneral and Municipal Councils their condition and wants. " Since that time, and throughout repeated debates, . whether in the Chambers or in the Local and Elective Councils, the utility of this institution has become so a|)parent, that, at" the ret effective guaran- tees of their sullioiency an Superintendent thus concludes. " I recui)itiilatoas follows :— I should prefer some im- provement of the imvient system to any actual clinnge, as I have she»"\ at the close of tlie first section of this report; '' T- i-eduction of the iiuinber of ins))ectors, so as to increase the amount of remuiu'ration and yet to dinitnish the actual expenditure, seems to ini> very diflicult to be effected. Assuming such a reduction, 1 should recommend the iilaii set forth in table li.
