 WHEREAS the Honorable Peter MeOill, and William Lunn, Jolin

 Charles Phillips, Henry Thomas, Rc.ert Rsdaile, John Greenshields, 
 John G. Mackenzie and Benjamin Holmes, all of the City of Montreal, 
 Esquires, hare by petition set forth, that as long ago as the year one 
 thousand eight hundred aud twenty-two, divers of them, the said peti* 
 tioners, and others who by reason of death or otherwise have since cea- 
 sed to act with them the said petitioners in the premises, associated them- 
 selves together for the purpose of establishing and maintaining certain 
 public schools, under the designation of The BritUh and Canadian 
 School Society of Montreal, and ever since have, by voluntary contribu- 
 tions, raised considerable sums of money for that purpose, and have 
 mamtained certain Public Schools, to the great advantage of the public; 
 That in the year one thousand eii^ht hundred and twenty-six, partly 
 with moneys so raised, and partly with moneys granted from time to 
 time, by the Provincial Parliament ot Lower Canada, the parties asso- 
 ciated together acquired certain valuable real estate in the said City, . 
 in the names of the Honorable Louis J. Papinean, of Petite Nation, En- 
 quire, of the said William Lunn, and of the late Honorable Pierre de 
 Rocheblave, of the said City of Montreal, Esquire, as Trustees; that 
 there have since been erected on the said property valuable school buil- 
 dings, which have been and now are in use for the purposes of the said 
 ' Public Schools ; that the said petitioners and their associates, neverthe- 
 less, have never been and now are not an incorporated body, and the 
 said property is consequently in danger of being diverted from such 
 use; that they are desirous to continue and extend their efforts in the cause 
 of education under the safeguard of an Act of incorporation ; and that 
 they therefore pray to be incorporated under the name aforesaid ; And 
 whereas it is expedient to grant their prayer : Therefore, Her Majesty,

 for any purpose. At all these times they ore marched out of the school- 
 room in regular order, and into it in the same manner as in the morning. 
 
 15. — Credit marks shall be given for exercises correctly done, for les- 
 sons perfootly recited, and for good oonduot during the day. Discredit 
 marks are given for neglect of exercises, for badly-recited lessons, and 
 for bad conduct. A record of these marks is kept, and given in the 
 terminal reports. 
 
 16. — The school roll shall be called every day, when the monitors 
 report absences, whether for a half day or a whole ; and pupils who have 
 been late, report themselves. When a pupil has been absent half a day, 
 or more, he must, when he returns, bring a note fVom his parents, or 
 guardian, accounting for his absence. Habitual lateness is, in no case, 
 tolerated. When school is dismissed in the evening, pupils must not 
 remain about the sohool-room or play-ground without special permission 
 from the teacher. 
 
 17. — At the end of each term an examination in every subject taught 
 in school shall be held. The same questions arc given to all in one 
 division, the answers are valued, and the number of marks gained by 
 each pupil determines his place in the division, whether for promotion or 
 depression. A report shall be made out for each pupil, giving the result 
 
10 
 
 of the examination, the number of times he has been late and absent 
 during the term, his credit and discredit marks as compared with the 
 best and the worst in his class, his general conduct, progress, &c. These 
 reports are sent to the parenf^s of the pupils, and must be shown to the 
 teacher again with the signatures of the parents attached, to assure him 
 that the reports have really been delivered. 
 
 At the annual examination prizes shall be awarded to those who have 
 best conducted themselves, and to those who take the highest standing 
 in the different branches of study. 
 
 18. — Fees shall be received weekly or monthly in advance, and on 
 Monday morning only. If a seat is left unoccupied for a week, and 
 unpaid for, and the teacher is not notified of the reason, it shall be con- 
 sidered vacant. 
 
 19. — Every violation of rule or m^leot of duty, shall be punished, 
 but regard is had, as far as possible, to the spirit of the offender. No 
 punishment ought to be inflicted because the pupil has done something to 
 make the teacher angry, but because a wrong has been done and justice 
 demands that the penalty be paid. Corporal punishment is not ignored, 
 but must be resorted to as seldom as possible, and only when milder modes 
 have been tried without effect. Particular care is taken to prevent any 
 mode of punishment from becoming too common. The modes of pun- 
 ishment adopted shall be such as discredit marks, detention in school, 
 suspension from a lesson, special reports to parents, whipping, suspension 
 from school for a time, and expulsion.
