School age is defined by law to be between five and sixteen years. Children unCcr five ought not to be admitted except to the Kindergarten. It will be found generally that children cannot enter upon the first year of the regular school with advantage to themselves before they are at least six years of age. Preliminary to this, two classes are provided, a Kindergarten class and a Preparatory class. These classes must be regarded rather as alternative than successive stages, though pupils may advantageously spend half-a-year in each! instead of a full year in either one. Pupils unfit to enter upon the regular school course should be placed in the Preparatory class if they are more than six and in the Kindergarten class if they are less. All at the end of the requisite preliminary course, which will usually last from five to ten months, should be promoted to the First Year's work. When there is not room for all in the preliminary classes] children should be admitted to them in order of age rather than in order of date of application as the regulations require in classes of the regular school. In these classes there should be semi-annual siftings, one at the end of January, the other at the end of June, and in the reception of pupils the instruction contained in the first paragraph of Regulation XVI., should be followed.

The Kindergarten course slunild be based upon the seasons of tlie year, yielding sullicicntly to take in any event that may occur unexpectedly. The whole work of a day should be in unison. Septemim-r — Salient idea, Home. " Each child divines aright, That several juarts in one whole unite, Tliere the family circle show, Let him every member know."

January — Sdient idea, Xe-w Year. "Jesus Chris-, the same yesterday, to-day and to- morrow." Ti e New "\'ear. Flow we ?pend our holidays. Frost February— Salient idea, The dignity of labour. "Wherever the child sees good work done, The mind and heart are easily won, Then through constructive form he passes, From the outward to the inward. And feels the inner sense and uses." Trades and industries. Point out to the child the essential need of human indus- tries, and the natural force concerned in their production, leading him to see that these activities point to the Source of all activities. .

(('hrist- nias ) 7'he little Jhmu-rs came through the ground ^ Faster.). Father, we thank 'I'hee ! Marches, F/rc. Calisthenics and marching should be taken, if pos- sible, in the Kindergarten Ciicle. The character of the work done will depend partly upon the oi)portimities afforded, partly upon the teaclier's titness. It is most important that it should be done well. Additional work of this kind may be taken instead of a second recess, if found desirable. ^v T.' 1- 9 Drawinc. and Wkitixg. Such drawing as is practised in the Kindergarten may be taken. 'I'lie drawing of objects and from nature should be e ncouraged. Use drawing in connection with lessons in number, form, colour and language. In writing follo^v the order of the Jackson Copy Books. Practise arm and finger movements, drawing in air, etc. FIRST YEAR. READING. Supplementary Readers suitable for all years are pro- vided b'v the Board. Thes-e readers must not be tiken home by pupils. Sight Reading and Silent Reading must be practised in all grades, and can be done best by means of the sui)ple- mentary readers. Teachers should read in this connection the notes on sij^/it redu'ifi^!^ and cu/ti7't'ting H'erd>y taste in Bright's Graded Instruction in English, pp. 75-70. FiR.ST Half. Phonics. — Teach the sounds presented in " Steps in the Phonic System" to d. IU, and in " M'odern Phonic Primer " to p. 2S. Use the B. B. freely, and let the reading matter in Modern Phonic Primer be taken only as practic- after each sound has been taught. Class Reader to p. 40. Ability to read from B. B. and from Reader svich milter as is introduced up to p. 4U The work outlined under the two sections immediately preceding is to be taken simultaneously, not successively. Teachers will arrange work to suit themselves. Second Half. Phonics. Teach the oilier piiouic sounds, using for practice the Afodcrn Phonic Primer. Finish Class Reader. 1 «,S t' fn 10 Follow directions given in first half. Six pieces of poetry, three in each half-year are to be learned and recited. Teachers will make suitable selections. Little children should be trained to commit to memory fier- fectly and to recite audibly and distinctly. LANGUAGE LESSONS. Oral Work. From the very first induce children to talk, using full stateriienis in answer to questions in class work. Frame questions so that pupils may use sentences in answering. Talk about familiar objects, things that interest them, such as animals, trees, plants, games, etc. Tell short easy stories and have pupils reproduce them orally. As soon as pupils begin to read from the book, have them tell in their own words what they have read. Strive to awaken the imagination and kindle the powers of observation and thought. Every school exercise, the observation work specially, should be a language lesson, so that ihe work in other subjects may not undo that of the language class. This is not, however, to be construed as advising continuous criticism, but as emphasizing the value of securing exact and correct forms of expression. Written Work. No written work is called for during the first part of the year in this grade. Written exercises with capitals and punctuation, as in- dicated in Bright, tofic 15, will be gradually introduced as the oral work proceed As soon as pupils can write, have them copy the new words in their reading lessons on their slates each day. This will form the best introduction to written work. Time, one lesson of ten minutes, every day. Read carefully Tarbell's introduction pp. 1-18. Septemiser or February. 1. This is (about 2 lessons.)

Any other esson however well illustrated by diagrams, pictures, lantern slides, etc., is an information lesson. i ty>.i^>»^v if.ym 15 3. Stlect a few objects only. Habits of observation are better cultivated by a thorough examination of a few objects than by a superficial treatment of many. Let there be no hurry in any stage of the process, for when there is no firm grounding of sense knowledge, all after knowledge is limited. Imagination will be hazy, thought loose and inaccurate, where the preliminary stage rf sense perception has been hurried over. 4. Drawing : Children should be encouraged to make simple drawings to illustrate their observations ; or clay modellings and other manual occupations may be employed to fix them in their minds. Encourage from the beginning drawing from objects having three dimensions. Children delight in such drawmg, and experience has proved the practicability of little children drawing the appearance of solid objects in various positions, provided that such drawing is not hampered with technical requirements about perspective, etc. The child's natural power of seeing things as they appear is strong in early years. Later on the power of seeing things as they appear becomes confused with the knowledge of facts, —his seeing becomes biased and his drawing power narrowed down to his technical knowledge. The drawing must be strictly freehand. The object is not technical results, but the training of the eye to see, and the hand to express what the eye sees. Train the child to draw fearlessly and rapidly. There should be no erasing of lines and no substitution of tools (ruling and measuring) for the training of the eye and hand. Let the child compare his drawing wiih the original and try to ascertain where it falls short. Each successive effort will then increase knowledge and strength. Accept a pupil's best work no matter how grotesque it may be. Teachers also should illustrate by blackboard drawings. (See Teacher's Hand-book, Royal Science Readers p. 8 of in- troduction.) 5. Accuracy in observation cannot be separated from accuracy in description. When children have been trained to observe a fact, they should be practised in making a cor- •■^^ i ^jBa^siiMmLMM 16 rctt statement of it in a sentence of their own. This oral answeiin^; in complete «-tnlenres will lead to correct use of !h.' Kngli'^^.li hingurgo, both i:i talking and wriiinf-, and will store the mind with a useful vocabulary. Written composition ex- ercises should follow. (1. Object kssons may be usefully followed by re.iding les'.ons treating of the same subjects.

Encourage nuicli free expression of thought and imagina- tion upon paper and board. Try to interpret the significance of each type as studied. Use brown tal>Iets for exercises in constructive design, and the coloured on.s for decorative arrangements. The " o])tional lessons " will give the teacher opportunity to repeat an excicise when necessary, but, better yet, to ex- ercise her own individuality in planning a suitable exercise. Occasionally let pupils carry home their work. Write all new terms on the board as developed, so that children will associate the form of the word with its sound, from the first. Have much bold free drawing at the board. Suggestions fur su[)plemc;iiary work accompany the regular lessons.

The " Natural Method " of language teaching is a modified imitation of the process by which a child becomes familiar with its mother tongue ; that is to say, the pupils learn the meaning and the use of words by hearing them correctly employed, and ihey acquire facihty in using them by constant practice in speaking. These two processes— learning new words, and practis- ing their use— proceed together in actual work, but for the sake of clearness they will b*- considered separately in this statement. J. New words. Whenever at any stage of progress the teacher desires to introduce a new word or a new expression, she will pro- ceed by making a statement or a number of statements in which the new term is correctly employed. These state- ments should not, as a rule, contain more th.an one new term. Li making these statements the teacher must devise some means of suggesting the meaning of the new word to the pupils without translating it. Many nouns and adjectives 50 may be taught by reference to objects or pictures ; verbs adverbs, etc., by means of gesture ; after the first few lessons new words can be explained by the usual process of defini- tion, makmg use of the vocabulary already acquired. A new word is sometimes introduced by asking a ques- tion mvolving its use. Some pupil may happen to know the answer ; if not, it should be suggested without delay to the class. The Teachers' Manual furnishes abundant illustrations of the various means that may be employed in teaching the meaning and use of new words without translating them but the experienced teacher would do well to exercise her'own ingenuity, modifying the devices suggested in the text-book or substituting others better suited to the lime and place and to the character of her pupils. In order to fix a new word In the memory, it is well as a rule, to write it on the blackboard and to require the pupils to repeat it in concert after the teacher. 2. Practice. The pupils get practice in speaking by repeating words and sentences after the teacher, by asking questions and especially by answering questions. This exercise (question- ing) occupies a large share of the .ime and requires '^reat skill on the part of the teacher. A few general directions may be given about it, and the text-book will supi)ly a number of question forms, but in the end the teacher is left to the exercise of her own ingenuity. Questions should be put which admit of precise answers and, lor the sake of practice, the pupils should be required to give complete, not elliptical answers. Qu\ivez-voiis dans vot re panic r? should b.- answered:/,?/ tm livre dans mon pdntcr, not un live simply, ox J'ai un livre. For the sake of practice a negative answer shouM be insisted on whenever the question admits of it. Ai^tz-rous un hvre dans voire panier I Should be answered : Non, M. je n' at pas de livn-s dans mon panier, and not Non M. )'ai dc pomnirs dans vion panur. Evi<' Mitly it would not be right to put a question which cannot be answered without using words which the pupils 51 have not heard. This, however, is occasionally done, as already explained, for the purpose of teaching a new word, the answer being suggested the moment the pupil hesitates. A good deal depends on the character of the questions. It is impossible to prescribe rules for the production of suit- able questions but it is safe to recommend that they be such as will capture and hold the attention of the pupils. Suitable uestions ensure good order and keen attention. Dull ques- tions are fatal to both. Avoid monotonous repetitions. Having made the state- i ments : // y ork,ne7c< words, practice in the use of new words, re/>eatiii>^ vcbs, or readiu}:^ a passage from the lesson. In this work, more than in most sul)jccts, it is important to hold the constant attention of the wliole class. Persistent inattention on the part of a few jjupils will destroy the work of the class. Delinquents can easily be detected by requiring all i)iipi' to stand who cannot answer simple questions that all shou.a be able to answer. It is a mistake to hurry over new work, relying on review. The capacity of the duller scholars should determine the rate of progress. lo. Objects. The objects required for the oral French lessons are named in the Teachers' Manual at the beginning of each lesson. A permanent collection comprising most of these objects can easily be formed by each teacher with the volun- tary assistance of her pupils. Such articles as books, pencils, 'lihitclies., etc.. are always on hand, and need not form part of the permanent collection. A few articles such as a water pitcher, glasses, etc., if not already in use in the school, and available for this purjjose, should be purchased by the Principal at the expense of the Board. II. Marks and Examinations. The marks assigned for French are distributed as fol- lows : — Third Year. Fourth Vear. Fifth Year. Sixth Year. Dictation — _ lo !.'> Reading 20 20 15 15 Grammar 20 20 30 .',0 Oral Work f.O 00 40 40 The marks in French Reading are assigned according to the following scale, one mark being deducted for each error, or }j mark, if the error is spontaneously corrected. • Third Year, 20 marks, Sj j lines and 4 selected words. Fourth Year, 20 " 4_;j " " 4 " " Fifth Year, 15 " 5 " " " 4 " '« Sixth Year, 15 " 7 " " 6 " " .55 Each pupil may read over the examination paper during the time occupied by another puinl in reading before the examiner. The " selected words " are intended to test the impils' acquaintance with the vowel sou.-ids. Examples may be found in the examination papers of previous years, and m the Teachers' Manuals. French Dictation is marked as follows : — (a) From the text prescribed for special study, Fifth Year, 4 lines, Sixth Year, 5 lines. 10 marks, J< mark off for each error. id) From the remainder of the text :— Fifth Year, 2 lines ; Sixth Year, 3 lines, 5 marks, }{ off for each error. The marks for Oral Work are to be assigned by the teacher, subject to the approval and direction of the Principal, and entered on the examination sheet in a separate column. Class examinations in oral French and French reading will be held in all or nearly all classes during the months of January and June. Principals will be asked to examine some of the classes, making use of lype-written questions which will be provided. No questions will be provided for Second Year classes ; teachers of these classes will be expected to question their own pupils in th'e presence of the examiner. Previous notice will be given of the date of these ex- aniinaiions and the classes to be examined, and teachers are requested to have in readiness the objects and pictures used in connection with the lessons submitted for examination. 12. Special certificate. A large number of teachers have devoted much time during the last few years to the study of French. It is right that these efforts should receive due recognition, and to this end a Special Certificate will hereafter be issued by the Director of French to teachers who are particularly success- ful in their French work. In granting this Certificate, three points will be con- sidered : (a) Fluent and correct use of French (b) Skill in teaching French by the Natural Method, (c) The results obtained in the oral and written work. r)() fnr ^3?"?-^^'''^*'^*^" "" be used to support applications lor promotion or for increase in salary. Teachers who hold these Certificates will be exempted from the special sui)ervision exercised by the Director of irenchsolongas their classes continue to take satisfactory marks in the written and oral tests.

A composition paper, valued at I) marks, comprising exercises in letter-writing, and on reproduction of selections assigned for special study, with meanings of words and phrases, proper use of capitals and punctuation, etc. Total 100 marks. 91 In composition the form rather than the subject matter should engage the teacher's attention in correcting. Form includes the sequence and coherence of the sentences, gram- mar, spellmg, and the proper use of capitals and punctuation. In correcting pupils need be called upon to rewrite only those sentences which are faulty. As regards subject matter a good reproduction will omit no important point contained in the original, but will not use the words of the original. Compositions at times may be put into the form of descriptive letters. For further hints see Renours Easy Exercises p. 64, "Notes to teachers." ACCOUNTS. 1.

In Dictation, English, French (reading, grammar, dictation) and Arithmetic there will be two tests during each half-year. 2. The half-year is the unit of time, and when two tests are given, the second may review the work covered by the first. 3. Test papers shall be set by the .Su|)erintendent or by Principals at his request. Test papers set by Principals are subject to revision by the Superintendent. 4. Papers in subjects that are tested once only each half- year may be allowed three-quarters of an hour for answerin;,. When several tests are set on the same subject, r. ^., Arith- metic, an hour may be allowed for answering the series. Other test papers must not recjuire more than half-an-hour for answering. 5. Each test in Arithmetic mav include mental, sight and written work. Rapid work (15 marks) in fourth, fifth and sixth years will be given at second test only. r». Pupils in all years will be expected to punctuate their dictation with the period and interrogation mark. Fifth and sixth year classes must insert tjuotation marks also. Other marks in punctuation will be tested in language papers only. 7. Sixth year classes, second half, will not take monthly tests. At the end of their course they will be examined upon the ye^-r's work except in Scripture, Physiology, Geography and Canadian History. In these subjects they will be exam- ined in the second half of the year's work only, and the year's marks will be determined by combining the results of the two half-yearly examinations. HARKING. 1. The total number of marks attainable is the only divisor allowable, in calculating the percentages of pupils to be recorded on examination sheets and test record?. 3 -i— ; 98 2. Pupils absent from any test or examination, but sub- sequently allowed to write cannot have marks thus gained recorded to their credit in competing for honours, prizes or scholarships. 3. In tests and examinations set by teachers or princi- pals, no class shall be recorded on the examination sheets or test records as having taken more than 80 per cent, of the marks attainable. 4. In tests and examinations set by the Board the duty of determining a fair and consistent method of distributing the marks assigned rests with Principals, who thus become responsible far the method of marking such papers and must take steps to satisfy themselv . that their instructions have been reasonably carried out. ."). The authorized time-tables of a class may be suspend- ed by order of Principals, on days when tests, examinations, etc. are to be taken. Princij s agree to make it a school regulation that they must be informed beforehand by assist- ant teachers when any departure from the authorized time- tables becomes necessary. 6. When pupils are transferred in the course of a year from one school to another, the marks taken in the first school in any authorized test may be placed to their credit in the second. SPECIAL SUBJECTS. English Reading, Writing, Drawing, Conduct, and Singing will be tested and marked as follows : I. Reading. F^nglish readins; shall be marked at least once each half- year. Twenty-five per cent, of the marks shall be assigned fur a knowledge of the substance of a passage read and 75 per cent, for other points. No marks in reading shall be placed on the exami- nation sheet of any class except the percentage at the foot of the column, which ])ercentage not exceeding 80, it shall be the duty of the Principal to assign. ^t 99 a. Writing. Half the marks shall be given for the writing of the last copy book assigned to each half-year, and a pro rata deduc- tion shall be made for any part of the book not completed either by individual pupils or by a class. The other half of the marks shall be assigned for writing from dictation or copying from print. This examination shall be set by the Hoard, but must not be a paper on which spell- ing is judged. 3.

In determining promotions at the close of the half- year, a pupil may be promoted from any class to the next higher, the chief consideration being, not whether such a pupil has completed the work assigned in the limit table but ^ whether he has shown such aptitude and progress as to make It expedient not to keep him another half-year in the same work. 2. Promotions from first to second half of same grade except m VI., 1 will be determined by the Principal and Class Teachers No records need be fyled with the Super- intendent. '^ Pupils in VI., 1, can be kept back only with the consent of parents, who must be made aware that this step will ex- clude such pupils from the scholarship competition. 3. Promotions from one grade to another will be deter- mmed with the advice of the Superintendent on the results of records of tests fyled with him. At the close of the work of a grade, Principals, in con- ference with teachers concerned, are authorized to determine the promotion or non-promotion of pupils, except that (,/) no pupil can be promoted who has not gained 06 per cent of the total marks assigned to the examination papers which he has taken, {b) no pupil can be kept back who has gained 7.5 per cent of the total marks. Deviations from the above, as well as all other doubtful cases, must be submitted to the Super- mtendent for decision in accordance with Reg. xxx. Pupils who have already spent two ^ears in a grade can- not be detained a third year without the knowledge and con- sent 01 the Superintendent. RECORD OF TESTS. 1. The record of each test must give the names and marks of all pupils taking the test. ^^ 2. The class average in each subject shall be the sum of t/ie average number of marks pa- pupil" taken in the several tests recorded for that subject. (See record of tests.) 3. The average of the " total pupils examined " in several i-"'","" u^*" '^""^ '"''J^^'' ''^^" be the quotient found by dividing the sum of the " total marks gained" in the <=^vera' tests by tht -class average" in the subject.
