Hamilton Schools. 
 
 The earliest official data of the Public Schools in this city go back to 
 1847, a period of thirty-two years. At that time the city was divided into 
 six School Sections, in each of which there was one school house contain- 
 ing one room, where all the pupils assembled were taught by one 
 teacher. One of these schools was described as good, four as mid- 
 dling, and one as inferior. Two of the houses were 18 feet by 20 feet, 
 and two 22 feet by 24 feet. The houses were all frame buildings, and not 
 one of them was held in fee-simple ; four were in ordinary repair, and two 
 in bad repair; all were, according to the idea of the time, suitably 
 furnished with desks and seats ; four with proper facilities for ventilation ; 
 not one had a play-ground. Of these six school buildings, one alone was 
 owned by the Board, others were rented for school purposes. School 
 library, maps and apparatus had not yet been thought of. There were 
 at this time no fewer than twenty-eight private schools in Hamilton. 
 
 In 1830 the central system was introduced, and preparations for 
 erecting the Central School commenced, but it was not until the 3rd May, 
 1853, that the Central School Building was ojiened; its fourteen rooms 
 were supposed capable of containing the school-going population of Hamil- 
 ton for ten years to come. How near the truth this supposition was, the 
 following statements will show : — In 1850 there were the Central and six 
 primary schools in operation, and the staff numbered thirty, including a 
 principal, a classical master, a writing master and a music master. In 
 1857 the school population was estimated at 5,500; the whole number 
 registered was 4,702; the average daily attendance for the separate and 
 public schools was 1,790, a percentage of registration on school popula- 
 tion of 86, and a percentage of average attendance on registration of 38.1. 
 In the public schools alone that year the number on the roll was 3,307, 
 the daily average attendance 1,400, showing the percentage of attendance 
 on regif^raticn to be 42.3. 
 
 The present session marks the inauguration of a new system. For 
 school purposes the city is divided into four districts, in each of which 
 there i i Central School. Over each district is placed a Head Master, 
 who has o. pervision not only of his own school, but also of the primary 
 schools attached to the Central School of the district.
