 TouoNTu, March 1, 1887. 
 To the HoiKirabk Geokge W. Ross, LL.B : 
 
 SiK, — I have the honor to present herewitli my report on the Educational Exhiliits 
 for Ontario at the Colonial iind Indian Exhibition, London, 188(i. It contains a con- 
 densed list of the exhibits of school appliances and pupils' work, with remarks on the fit- 
 tings and arrangement of the Educational Court of Ontario, togetlier with newspaper 
 notices, reviews, etc., showing the public appreciation oi', and the great interest taken in, 
 these cxhil)its by visitors to the Exhibition. 
 
 In addition to the description of Ontario exhibits, I have prepared an Appendix with 
 short historical sketches of each colony and British dependency which took part in the 
 Exhibition, acconipanied by a map so colored as to show the British possessions through- 
 out the world ; also a brief notice of the proposed Imperial Institute. 
 
 I may remark that about five and a-half millions of people visited the Exhibition, and 
 the Educational Court was daily crowded from the time of opening until its closing ; and 
 there is not the least doubt that the interests of this Province were promoted in Great 
 Britain and on the Continent of Europe by showing the advanced position of education 
 and science in the Institutions under your control. 
 
 I have the honor to be, 8ir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 S. P. MAY.

 1 may roniark, too, that Canada was tiie only country which exhibited machinpr\' in 
 motion. 
 
 I he Lii'l.-i .Vi'iriifij says :—" Pushing Canatla ccn.ies nut bravely with d'/ricultuial pm- 
 ilucts, and with machinery and implements, ti.o. being singular in this latter display, as the cillier 
 Colonies do not slinw a score nf implements between them. Tlie display, as it is", must till the 
 ordinary visitor with astonishment, and make hirji proud i.f his birthright as a Hriton. No other 
 nation in the world could make such a magnificent display >>( its own products and manufactures.' 
 
 Foreign journals have also shown their appreo ation of the importance of the Exhibition. 
 .■\niong these is L' liiili/iniilinir,- /,',^;, of Hru.ssels. which says :-" Canada, as large as Euro])e, 
 c<)Veriug ail area of 2A million .s(piare miles, occupies a prominent place at the Exhibition. 
 E8])ecially in agriculture does it excel. Tiie trophy of grain and fruits is iiidinlliiM; and one may 
 say as nnich of the agricnUural implements— tools "so perfect and sd superior to everything made 
 in Europe, that economists are asking why its Canada's) mainif.icturers persist in sladterin" 
 themselves liehind protective duties." " ^ 
 
 The exhibition opened up considerable newspaper correspondence in regard to bjreign 
 and colonial competition. The following extract is from an excellent letter on " IJuyiug 
 goods abroad," by an " Englishman," published in the Daily Teleyraph : 
 
 " I have to submit that England has not oidy to contend with foreign, but must also be pre- 
 jMired to meet (Jolonial competition. .Many of the Colonies already in several manufactures sup- 
 ply their own wants, some are exjiortiiig to other Colonies, whilst some, instead of receiving, are 
 sending finished goods, and not raw material only, to the mother country. The present E.xhibi- 
 tion at South Kensington will directly tend to this result. Take the case of Canada : it is gen- 
 erally admitted that tlie courts aHotted to the Dominion are the most practical displays iiAlie 
 whole Exhibition. The machinery hall is always crowded, and the agricultural machines, several 
 of them in motion, attract a great deal of attention. Probably it has surprised many to witness 
 the degree of excellence in their manufacture attained by the Canadians. They boast. 1 am 
 told, that their machines are superior to any in the world, the .\merican inventions not excejited. 
 The makers are always on the alert to i)ick u)) a new idea, which they adopt with no ctuisidi'ra- 
 tion of expense. A great need for labor-.saving contrivances has stinuilated their production. 
 Hfvv, with an agricultural ])opulation in excess of the demand, there has been rather a retarding 
 influence at work, and macliines which take the bread out of the mouths of men have been slow 
 to advance in the agriculturist's favoi. Thus it has come .about that so young a country as 
 Canada can now claim the lead with a iniicpie collection of steam threshers, self-raking rea|)ers, 
 binders niowcrs, harvesters, hr.y-tedders, etc. 
 
 The wealth wliich Canada j)osse.^scs in her splendid forests has, within the last few years par- 
 ticularly, considerably im|)rove(l her jin.«iti<in as a manufacturing country. The manufacture of 
 doors, sashes, and blinds constitutes an industry especially prosperous in Ontario. There are 
 specimens on view at Scuitb Kensington, and the prices are said to be lower than that at which 
 the same kind of .articles (an be turned out by English carpenters. We import large tiuantities 
 of rt'iidy-made doors from ' iermany ;uid other parts of the continent, and the (piestion is asked 
 by (.'anadians, ' Why patronise the f(jreigner, when we can serve you better !' " 
 
 Letters were thou published referring to tlie superiority of German goods which, they

 and endeavoured to show that thi,' improvement in our manufactures and more artistic 
 finish on certain classes of our goods is due to the free education of our people. I refer-

 exhibited, and invited the public to visit the Educational (^ourt .aiul Htnl nut for them-

 Tlie Educition Departiiiunt (if Ontaiio, now uinlur tlio direct ion i if Mr. liuss, cuiitrols the 
 Prnviiicial Nniiiial aiid Model scliouls ; the county model schools ; and th.' luildic, .sei)arite, and 
 hi^'h schools and collegiate institutes. In addition, it has a voice in the nianagemeiit of all other 
 odiicatioiial institucions in the Province which receive (iovernnient aid for educational jmriio.ses ; 
 such, for e-Kaiuple, a.s Uj)i)er Canada College, the School of Practical Science, University College, 
 Mechanics' Institutes, Art Schools, etc. In one or more forms all the dei)artuipnts of educational 
 activity are rei)resented at South Kensington. Hence it is not surprising to find that the collec- 
 tion in Dr. May's ciiarge is extremely cum|irehensive, and occupies to the full the ',),0M) feet of 
 space accorded to it. Is'or is it a matter for wonder that the special catalogue slKUiid form a good 
 .sized pamiihlef., and should contanialist end^raciug nearly ;!,0U0 separate entries. JX'ferring 
 detailed notice of tlie difJeretit Jivisions of the e.^hibit, it must suttjee on the pi'csent occasion to 
 notice lirielly its chief features and geueriil arrangement. 
 
 The area assigned to ()nt^.rio is in the West (iallery, between the New /ealaud Court and 
 the si)ace oi'cupied by Canadian agricultural machinery, and immediately adjoining one of the 
 entrances to the A(|uanum. From both the New Zealand Section and the machinery gallery, 
 the Ontario Court is separated by artistically designed and decorated archways, which admirably 
 serve the purpose of screens. Aliove the principal archway — that on the north -the visitor 
 notices at once a large coat of the Royal arms, said, indeed, to be the largest ever e.Khibited. 
 This is the work of a Torontonian, and was lent from the Educational Court to Sir Charles Tup- 
 l)er, to be ))laced faciug Hor Majesty upon her entrance to the Canadian Court on the opening 
 day. .\bove is a biLst of the Miiniuis of Lome, (.hi one side of llie aroliway is placed a large 
 pliotograph of the graliiatiiig class of the Ontario Veterinary College, containing some 85 photo- 
 graphs of the students, together with I'r. sident Smith and the professors. These striking photo- 
 graphs, winch attracted the attention of, and were much admired by, the t^)uetn and the Prince 
 of Wales, are sui)]ilemented by views of tile students' dissectnig-room, etc. On the opposite side 
 of the archway, the commercial colleges of »he provinces are well represented by specimens of* 
 peiuiian»hi[) from Hamilton, Bvockville, Owen Sound, etc. 
 
 Upon eniering the Court, the first thing to strike the eye is the prominently displayed motto, 
 ' Education the (J lory of Canada'; whilst on both arches, in e(iually di.stinct lettering, are tlie 
 signs, 'Educational Court, Ontario, Canada.' The rafters supporting the roof are decorated with 
 the maple leaf ; and the southern archway, or screen, it should further be mentioned, is decked 
 with shiel Is of Ontario, surmounted with crowns and oriuimented with thus. The Courtis 
 divitled into live I'ompartments on either side, with galleries above, approached by spiral stair- 
 cases. Only in this way could Dr. May make separate divisions for each Institution and hnd 
 space for the very numerous specimens of all kinds committed to his care ; and the general effect 
 of hifs arrange. nents is an apiiearance of completeness and method which is not lo be noticed in 
 any other oortioii of the Canadian Section. 
 
 The i)iace of honor m the centre of the Court is rightly assigned to the EducationalTrophy. 
 Tliis consists of twelve statistical charts, representing the educational institutions under the con- 
 trol of the Education Deiiartmeiit, and mounted on a 12-faeed prism. Above the charts, which 
 are (luite (J feet high by 4 feet wide, arc placed photographs of the institutions ; and the prism 
 itself is surmounted by a globe 'M] inches in diameter, specially coloreil to show at a glance the 
 extensive territory of Canada. The remainder of the centre of the e(mrt is iilled with large glass 
 cases, containing pliilof(o|)hica! ,-|)paratus as u.sed in the Public and High Schools of the Province, 
 including a collection of School Api)aratus manufactured by the Map and School Supi)ly C(.m- 
 pany, Toronto. At the extreme end of the Court are shown astronomical and geographical 
 globes, with plane and raised surfaces, among which we specially notice the Newtonian or Astro- 
 nomical (ih)be exhibited by Selby it Co. The anatomical and physiok)gical models also 
 here secui to be (me of the attractions of the Court, especially the nianikni dejiictini: 
 external .and internal structure of the human body. 
 
 The partitions of the side c(nn])artmentB of the Court are surmounted by pedestals sujijiort- 
 ing busts of distinguished Canadians. Thus the Hon. O. Mowat faces Sir John Macdonald : the 
 Hon (ico. Hrowii has the Hon. J. Hevorley l{(d)iiisoii as his lix-ii-ris ; the Rev. Dr. Ryi 
 o)ipo lie to to Sir Francis Hiiicks ; and the Hon. Adam Crooks to Bishop Stracliaii. 
 contents of the compartments on either side space only permits a few words now 
 About one-half of the.se contain Maps and Apparatus, the now series of Drawing Books, Text 
 Books, Tablet Reading Losscms, and other school aiijiliiuices ; the remainder being tilled with 
 illustrations of Industrial Art. This disjilay does inlinito credit to the province and to the efforts 
 of the Government to promote this braneh'of study, and is calculated even to a greater degree 
 than the Art Exhibit in the Albert Hall to open the eyes of the British public to tianada's artis- 
 tic progrcKK of n^ceiit years. The Ont.-.'.io ScIkmj! of Art. the Wcsten! School of Art, London, 
 and the Ottawa and the Kingston Art Schools .send specimens of every class of work in oil and 
 water-colors, in freehand dra.ving, industrial designs, architectural and machine drawing, shad-

 As soon as the work of installation was completed, a list of the exhibits was put in 
 the hands of the printer, and a catalogue of 76 pages, containing nearly 3,000 separate • 
 cxhiliits, was published. The numbers on the catalogue corresponded with the numbers 
 on the labels attached to the exhibits. Five thousand catalogues were di.striljuted. In 
 addition to the Educational Catalogue, the Canadian Catalogue contains a list of our 
 exh'.oit.s, which occupied 25 pages. The Otlicial Catalogue also devoted several columns 
 to our exhibits.

 Class L — IFistorical and Statistical. 
 
 1'liis Class consistod of Educational Pv(!poils, Statistics, etc. The principal featun? 
 was an educational trophy, which was placed in the centre of the Court. It consisted of 
 twelve large charts, showing; the progress and statistics of Educational Institutions under 
 control of the Education Department, and Education il Institutions assisted l)y the Govern- 
 ment of this Province These were mounted on a dodecah.edron or twelve-faced prism, with 
 mirrors between the franie.s. On the top of each frame was a large photograph of the 
 in.stitution referred to in each chart. In the centre of the charts, and surmounting tiie 
 prism, was a semi-circular support for a ."JU-inch globe, so colored and placed in posi- 
 tion as to show the immense extent of territory in the Dominion of Canada. 
 
 This trophy was a great attraction, the excellent photographs of some of our priuri 
 pal educational buildings were much admired, and the statistics on the charts wen; so 
 clearly indicated that persons could see at a glance the immense educational j)rogres.s we 
 have made in this Province during the past forty years. 
 
 In addition to the trophy, we had a large map of Ontario, specially prepared to 
 show the numVier of public schools, higli schools, colleges, ladies' colleges, univcsrsities, etc., 
 in each county. 
 
 Class 2. — School Methods and OuciANizATiox. 
 
 In this Class were books on school methods, education, liygiene, etc. The following 
 notices refer to some of the books : 
 
 The Sii-honlmnstar has the following review of the Manual of Hygiene for Scliools 
 and Colleges (Toronto, W. Briggs) : — 
 
 " Prepared by the Provincial Board (if Health, ,ind .uitliorized by the Minister of Educa- 
 ti(in, for use in all .scIkkiU under the control of the Education Deiiartiiient of Ontario, this work, 
 \vliilo|in'senting nothing of originality in concei)tion or treatment, ajipears to bo a very fair 
 coMiiiilation from acknowledged text-l)o(jlis and iuitlioritios on both sides of the Atlantic. A 
 ■;onil table of contents jirccodes, and an iiulex follo.vs the text ; while speedy reference is miicli 
 facilitated by printing tlic first woi'ds of oadi jiarattrapli, which are ho contrived as t<i give a clue 
 to what follow.^, in condensed type. The references in the index, too, are to paragraphs, not 
 pages. Tliere is the usual .amount of elenu^nt;uy jdiysiology : which, however, we would rather 
 were omitted, and taught, as mu' syllabus re(|uircs, previously from .special text-books. Among 
 the statistics iulduced in proof of the intliience of sanitary improvements on the health of towns, 
 the most remarkable ari> those showing the rediictioTi of "the mortality from typhoid in .Munich, 
 from 242 to 17 pri 1(K),()00, steji by step with the introduction of lictter methods of sewerage. 
 We should, howexer, have liked to see more attention called to the falhicies incident to the in- 
 considerate u.se of .statistics. There are .some interesting remarks on the fensibility of sewage 
 iriig.ition. even when the ground is frozen hard and covered with .snow. Mr. \V. Mriggs' (not 
 the publislu.r's) ex|>eriinents with smoke in demoustrating t'le movements of the air in rooms, 
 with the inlets and outlets in dill'crcnt po.sit ions, are most interesting, and, slnaild they be veii- 
 ticd. cannot fail to be of the utmost practic.d importance. He found a complete change of the 
 air in every part of the room only when the outlet was at the level of the lloorand the iidet high 
 onlhesanu! .side. The chaiiters on school hygiene are especially good, and the work, as a 
 whole -idvering a smuewlwit wider held than our elementary and advanced, but ii narrower than 
 our honors syllabus — is one which we > ;iu heartily rerouimend. We cannot liut tiiiiik, how- 
 ever, that the introduction of ,a few uialheiuatical foriuidn' in the chaittius on ventilation and. 
 Howuruge Would be an improveuu'Ut .

 P'-obably a larger number of persons made enquiries about these Institutions than 
 might have been expected, because a Royal Commission was sitting which had been 
 appomted to institute enquiries as to the systems adopted by different countries for the 
 instruction of the Bhml and Deaf and Dumb. It caused great surprise to visitors when 
 ihey found that these excellent institutions are under the management of the Govern- 
 ment, as^they did not expect a colony would thus take the initiative in providing institu- 
 of'seeing or h^arinr'"' '^'"^'"^ '''' education of our fellow citizens who are deprived 
 
 The press made comments on this subject because similar institutions in the United 
 Kingdom are dependent for support upon voluntary subscriptions.

 Extract from Colonial Exhibition Supplement : — 
 
 " Proceeding now to the galleries, Art is i)rominciit on the walls of the ricdit gallery Hero 
 the contributions come from the Ladies' Colleges, at Woodstock, Hamilton, Whitby, Brantford 
 and St. Thomas, and are as varied as they are excellent in character." ' 
 
 The Loretto Abbey, Toronto, and Loretto Convent, Hamilton, sent Oil and Water

 Eneh of the Colleges was allotted separate compartments, whicli were prominently 
 labelled, showing iiaino of Institution, name of Exhibit, Residence, Description of Work 
 etc. ' 
 
 Tlie following remarks are from the (Hole: — 
 
 "Thk Roman 'ATHoLrcCoLLKciKs.— In our last issue we referred to exhibits in tli." Educa- 
 iional Court, from ustitutions not under control of the Eclucntioii Department. Vinon.^st 
 these are cxhiliilK from boiiiaii Catholic Colleges, which are lemarkable for their excellence 
 and at the same time are evidence of the kindly feeling which exists in Ontario between Catho- 
 lics and Protestants. The Education Dei)artiiient of Ontario, reiresenting as it does the (Jov- 
 ernmcut, sets an example worthy to be copied liy older countries in thus ackiiowledKing all 
 creeds and giving iironiineiice to exhibits where p.-oniinence is due. 
 
 ■■The exhibits from the Woman Catholic Colleges are <lisi.layed so well and so consiiicu- 
 ously as to reflect great credit on Dr. May in the arrangement of the Court. Tlie,-e Collcires 
 have their speciid alcoves in the centre of the principal gallery, and articles liable to injury from 
 exiio.'Uire arc ]ilaced in handsome glass cases made specially for these exhibits. 
 
 " Want of space forbids our referring to all the articles exhibited. The following brief notes 
 may. however, be of interest : The Loretto Abbey, T,,ronto, sends some beautiful woik done by 
 tlu pupils, including Oil I'aintmgs, Oil on Velvet, Water Colors. Crayon Drawings, Embroidery 
 Wrx Flowers, etc. \: may not be generally known that this Abbey is a branch of an lii! 
 stitule which has been for more than two cenuries devoted to the instruction of youth The 
 mother house was established in Home, ai.d so far I'ack as !()«;{, houses in connection therewith 
 were established in this country. In 1882, the community established a house at Pathfarnham 
 near Dublin. To this first Irish foundation the Mother Superior gave the name of ' Loretto' from' 
 he Mouse of N'av-areth, now at Lorett v, in It.-iiy. All iiliations from the mother housj liavo car- 
 led the name with them, and it has become very familiar in Canada, representing as it does

 Executive Council, or a committee thereof, appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor and

 Education is under control of the representatives of the people ^viinistei ot

 power to make regulations for the classification, organization, discipline': and go verleiu' 
 of ^orma , Model, High, Public, and Separate Schools ; for the equipment and veS

 public chool.s.Tu,amoun of Legislative Grant in 1884 was t^vo hundred and sixty 
 sven thousand dollars, whilst the total receipts for all public school purposes was no£. 
 than three million, seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars. 
 
 This, of itself, is a sullicient proof of the excellence and popularity of the Free School 
 systen,, inasmuch as the people voluntarily tax themselves for it maLtenance and sup 
 
 PuiiLic School Inspectors. 
 
 The Inspectors are appointed by the municipal councils, and must have had practi- 
 
 ca experience in teaching. They must either be holders of first-class provincial c^M- 
 
 caters, or graduates in arts, with first-class honor., of a provincial university, and fun, ish 
 
 evidence of having aught successfully for five years, of which three at lea t must C 
 been spent in a public school. 
 
 The duties of an Inspector are to examine into the methods of instruction, ascertain 
 the progress made by the pupils, see that the schools are properly equipped, a, d that no 
 unauthomed books are used in the school. They have the ^oJv to'withho d the school 
 grau ; they apportion the school grant according to the Average school attendance o 
 pupils; they can gmnt temporary certificates for teaching, or suspend teachers' certifi- 
 cates for cause. They have to report to the Education Department, and see that its awl 
 and regulations are observed. 
 
 The powers of Inspectors are very great, but they are trained, responsible men in^ 
 whom the ratepayers have confidence ; and that it is not misplaced, can 'be judged fo 
 the great progress niade m the education of the children, as evidenced bv tlie exhibits o 
 pupils work at the Colonial Exhibition, which received commendatorv notices fro n h ad 
 ing educationists and the press in general. Nearly every school under their inspection is 
 provided with wall maps, the total number in use being ,)ver 40,000 ; a lar-e number of 
 the schools are also supplied with globes and school apparatus. Great improvement ha., 
 been made in the school buildings, which are now well ventilated, and provision made for 
 the comfort of the children by properly constructed seats and desks, etc. School archi- 
 tecture has made wonderful progress in the Province, because the Inspectors advise with 
 the trustees, in erecting good permanent buildings, adapted for school purposes. The 
 large photographs of our Schools at the Exhibition were admired by thousands of persons 
 who were surprised to find that, with a population of less than two millions, we have- 
 . ,3 <.. Public Free Schools, many of which, in architectural beauty of design, are equal to 
 those found ,n older and wealthier countries. As stated at the commencement, it is not 
 my intention to discuss school methods, but I do most earnestly direct attention to the- 
 importance of having «ohool Inspectors selected from trained teachers, and invest"ed with 
 all the necessary powers to promote the efficiency and general welfare of the schools in. 
 their charge.

 The Legislature is most liberal in promoting the welfare of tea.hers ; it ,.,M,-ide. 
 free edu,.at.on for them at Normal S,.hools, Mndel Schools, and Trainee, Institutes, and 
 also assists byhberal j,'rants towards supporting a Teaehe.-s' Institute in each county in- 
 speetoral division having for its ol.ject the reading of papers an.l the discussing of matters 
 tliat have a i.ractieal bearing on the daily work of the schoolroom. The Director ot 
 Icachcrs^ Institutes visits the Institutes, and takes part in the proceedings by diseussin- 
 at least three subjects on the programme, and by delivering a public lecture. Kvery 
 teacher, unless prevented by illness, must attend continuously the meetings, which last 
 tor two dftys. ° 
 
 Depahtmkntal Regulations.— Accommodatiox for Pupils, School Fukniture, Etc. 
 
 The trustees are required by law to provide sufficient ac<:ommodation for at least 
 two- thirds of the population between five and twenty-one years 
 
 The school site must be in a healthy locality," with' proper drainage. The water- 
 closets for the sexes must be .several feet apart, and proper care taken to secure cleanli- 
 ness, and to prevent unpleasant and unhealthy odors. 
 
 The school-house must have an additional room for every fifty persons. In each room 
 there should be at least 250 cubic feet of air-space for each pupil. Arrangements must 
 be made for ventilation so as to secure a complete change of atmosphere three times every 
 "'''rru J """ ^^^^^ ^^ separate entrances and suitable cloak-rooms for boys and girls 
 
 The desks and seats are usually so graduated in size that the pupils' feet may rest 
 hrmly upon the floor, and the backs of seats slope backward from the perpendicular to 
 add to the comfort of the pupils. 
 
 Under the regulations, every school should be supplied with at least, Blackb.jards 
 J-in. Globe, Maps of Canada, Ontario, World, the difierent Continents, Tablet Readi- ' 
 Lesson.s, Numeral Frame, Dictionary, Gazetteer, etc. ^ 
 
 These regulations are applicable, more especially to schools in rural districts as the 
 schools in cities, towns, and villages are usually well equipped with maps, apparatus 
 reference library, etc. r > r t . 
 
 Departmental Regulations. — Text-Books. 
 
 The programme of studies prescribed for use of Public Schools is as follows •—Head- 
 ing and Literature, Spelling, Othography, and Orthoepy Writing, Arithmetic, DrawiiKr 
 Geography, Music, Grammar and Composition, History, and Object Lessons. Other 
 subjects recommended to be to be taught are Hygiene, including Temperance, Drill .md 
 Calisthenics, Moral and Religious Instruction, Reviews and Recitations, and Agriculture 
 in Rural Schools. 
 
 The Department of Education has the authorization of the text-books used bv the 
 pupils ; and recently, under the direction of the Minister of Education, an admirable set 
 of readers adapted to the country has been published, also a set of Drawing Looks 
 Works on History, Hygiene, Scripture Readings, etc. Some of the other text-book* 
 used are by Canadian authors, and others reprints of English publications. 
 
 The advantages from a uniform set of text-books cannot be overestimated. They are 
 Selected by a Central Committee of Examiners, all experienced, competent advisers, they 
 are suitable to the youth of our country, and should a pupil remove from one part of the 
 Province to another, the same set of books can be used ; and, moreover, there is no temp- 
 tation for interested persons to recommend publications from which they mi^-ht reap a 
 profit. " ' f . 
 
 Drawing has only been made compulsory since July, 1885, but its importance as a 
 branch of education is already fully recognized. It is the written language of the eye, 
 withanalphabr*-of only two letters— tlm straight line and the curve. It is especially 
 the language of mechanics and workmen, au.i most valuable in the manufacturing Dro<«Tesa 
 of a country. o t- o

 OTHEi; COUNTRIES WHICH EXHIBITED. 
 
 In order to show the extent of the Jiritisli possessionH nud how univrrsally Her 
 .Majesty's subjects united to niak(^ known the greatness of the iiritish Empire hy exhibiting 
 tlie products, manufactures and educational appliances of their respective countries, I 
 shall give a brief liistorical slietch of each country from facts collected from autliorities 
 at the exhibition, and from their spocial reports, with short notices of tlieir educational 
 systems and exhibits. 
 
 The accompanying map is colored (-v,/) to show the geographical position uf each of 
 these countri(!S. 
 
 AUSTRALASIAN COLONIES. 
 
 .'\USTR.VLIA. 
 
 Australia was originally a simple Crown Colony; the Hrst settlement was made by 
 the British Government at Sydney, in 17S8. At present Australia is divided into live 
 Colonies; all on the mainland, viz.: New South Wales, Victoria, Soutli Australia, 
 Queensland and Western Au.stralia. 
 
 Each of these Colonies is presided over by a (Governor appointed liy tlie Hritish 
 Crown, but with the exception of Western Australia otherwise self-governing. 
 
 New Soutu Wales. 
 
 New South Wales, the oldest Colony of Australia, was discovered by Capt. Cool 
 1770. T'he first governor wms appointed by the British Covernment in 1787, and the 
 
 ik 
 in [iiU. llie nrst governor wms appointed by the Jiritisli (lovernment in 1787, and the 
 Colony of New South Wales was formally declared to be founded in 1788. 
 
 In 1831 the south-western districts of New South Wales were formed into the 
 Colony of Victoria, and in 1859 its northern districts into the Colony of Queensland. 
 
 It is bounded on the north by Queensland, on the iwst by South Australia, on the 
 south by Victoria, and on the cast by the Paciiic. 
 
 It includes an. area of ;i01),l7r) square miles, and in 18S(i the estimated population 
 was 981,000. Its chief product is wool, which is exported to England. It was in this 
 Colony that gold was fir,st found in Australia, in 1851. The aggregate value of the gold 
 mines up to 1881 was 81 7(), 807, 750. Coai .s also found in abundance ; the aggregate 
 value of coal mining up to 1884, was !iji78,54(),400. Other minerals are also abundant 
 in New South Wales ; the aggregate miner.il wealth of all kinds ui) to 1884, bein^ 
 .?.'5L'0,;(4-','.t25 
 
 New Soutii Wales is rich in educational institutions. Sydney, the principal city, 
 has a population of 250,000, and is the first town in Australia tliat was settled. There is a 
 University, Denonunational ' 'ollege, (irammar School, School of Art", Technical, Indus- 
 trial and Sanitary College and Museum, Natural Art Callery, Free Public Library, Public 
 Schools, e* , 
 
 The i'ul)li(^ Instruction Act wiiieh is administered l)y a responsible Minister, came 
 into ooeration in 1880. The schools are entircdy undenominational, and the attendance 
 of children betw(!en the ages of six and fourteen years of age is compulsory. Tln^ school 
 fee is 3d ((5 cents) per week per child, and the fees collected are paid into tlie treasury as 
 revenue. Provision is made for tuucuLing cliildren whosi! parents are unable to pay fees. 
 Teachers are recognized as civil servants, and paid by salary out of the public funds. 
 School lUiildings are erected wholly at Mie exfjonsc of the (Jovernmont,

 South Australia. 
 
 This colony is, with the single exception of Western Australia, the largest of all 
 the Australian colonies, stretching across the whole island continent from ,- '.'.th to 
 north. The total area is 903,090 square miles. The population, according to t' latest 
 official record (1884), was 312,781. 
 
 In 1831 Captain Sturt discovered the Eiver Murray, which runs down ii.bO South 
 Australia, and empties itself into the Southern Ocean, but it was not until December, 
 1836, that the first Governor of South Australia took possession of the land in the name 
 of the Sovereign of Gre«*: Britain. 
 
 Although gold is found in small quantities only, the copper mines of this colony have 
 produced great mineral wealth. 
 
 The edur "ion of the people received legislative attention very early in its history, 
 The first Act relating to education was passed in 1847. This was suspended in 1851 by 
 an Act, the expressed object of which was to impart good secular instruction, based upon 
 the Christian religion, apart from all theological and controversial differences on discip- 
 line and doctrines, and a Central Board of Education was established. 
 
 In 1875 an Act was passed which abolished the Central Board of Education, ostab- 
 lisiied a Council of Education ; attendance of children between the ages of seven and 
 thifteeu yenrs was made compulsory, and fees were authorized to be charged. 
 
 In 1878 the Council was dissolved, and the administration of the Education Depr-t- 
 ment transferred to a " Minister Controlling Education," assisted by an Inspector Gt ■! ' 
 of Schools, with a staff of Inspectors and Teachers. 
 
 In 1881 there were 452 Public and Provisional Schools ; 42,758 children re.ei-'f ' 
 instruction Irom 400 male and 600 teinalo teachers. The total expenditure upon ed.; ' ion 
 (exclusive of buildings) was, in 1884, over $500,000. 
 
 About 390 schools have been erected since January 1st, 1876, at a cost of upwards 
 of $2,000,000. 
 
 Scholarships, exhibitions, and bursaries, are open to the pupils at public schools, with 
 the advantage of education at the Adelaide University, or any approved Europenu 
 University. As an illustration of this, in 1878, a scholar won an exhibition at one of the 
 Model Schools ; this entitled him to free education at Prince Alfred College (the semin- 
 
 
67 
 
 ary selected by him), and in 1884 he won the Soutli Australian Scholarship, which is 
 worth s 1,000 per annum for four years. 
 
 In addition, the Education Department offers annually three University Scholarships 
 (worth 6250 per annum for three years), whicli entitle the holders to education at tlie 
 Adelaide University free of cost. Six exhibitions, for scholars ,it the public schools, of 
 the value of !?100 to 8200 each, are also available annually, and entitle the holders to free 
 education at any of the colleges which they may select. IJursaries of the value of 8G0 
 are also offeretl by the department of girls. 
 
 Educational Exhibit. 
 
 The Inspector General of Schools sent a smal' exhibit, consisting of Maps and Plans 
 used in the Education Department, Two Maps of Australia. Set of Arithmetical Diagrams, 
 and Copies of Course of Instruction, Time Tables, Calendar, and Education Gazette. 
 
 The Superintendent of Poonindic Native Institution exhibited specimens of writing 
 done by native children, also a small cottage, picture frames, and brackets made of cones. 
 
 A private exhibitor sent an Educational Object Lesson, " The Gospel Ship," and 
 some Maps and Diagrams were exhibited from different government departments. 
 
 Queensland. 
 
 Queensland, comprising the north-eastern part of Australia, has an area of GG8,224 
 square miles, and a population of about 300,000. It is tjuite a new colony, only sixty- 
 two years ago (1825) a penal settlement was founded at the mouth of the river. In 1839 
 the last batch of convicts was landed there. Ten years later the llrst free immigrants 
 arrived and settled down near Brisbane, the capital, which has now a population of 
 40,000. 
 
 In 1859 the colony of Queensland was proclaimed by Imperial command, and since 
 that time its progress has l)een very great. Immediately after its separation from New 
 South Wales a system of National Education was inaugurated, it being contended that 
 as education progressed, crime would be lessened, and thus the colony would reap a direct 
 advantage from the money devoted to ed-'cational purposes. A Board of Education was 
 appointed, and a Normal School, for th ""aining of teachers, was built in Brisbane, and 
 Schools in towns and country districts ;re built on a requisition of the residents, ac- 
 companied by an amount equal to about one-hfth of the t.'stimated cost of the building. 
 On these conditions, wherever there were twenty children above five years of age, a school 
 was established, and a teacher supplied and paid by the board. 
 
 At first small fees were charged, but fees were abandoned in 1864. 
 
 In 1876, the Government undertook the entire management and control of the 
 Schools, the Attorney-General was appointed Minister of Education, and since that time 
 the Schools have increased at a remarkable rate. There are 425 State Schools, with 
 46,262 children on the rolls, and 1,161 teachers employed. About one-seventh of the 
 population of the colony is under school instruction. 
 
 Every classified teacher is a civil servant iijipointed, transferred or promoted only by 
 the Governor in Council. 
 
 Educational E.chihit. 
 
 Thirty-five State Schools sent exhibits of pupils' work, including Maps, Dictation, 
 Drawing, Ornamental Petnnanship, and Needlework, altogether about six hundred speci- 
 nxens, representing the ordinary work of the Schools. 
 
 The Departments of Mines ami Public Works, Railways, Post and Telegraph, and 
 Public Lands, sent some very fine specimens of Maps, Charts, and Diagrams, relating to 
 their various departments. 
 
 Piiysical Ciiuri.s and Ma[)s were ais(j sent by |invatt; exhioitor.s. 
 
 In addition, the Heading Room in the Exhibition was supplied with files of about 
 sixty newspapers and periodicals.

 WtSTEKN AuSTRAt.IA. 
 
 This colony embraces nearly one-tliirtl of the Australian continent. Its area is Dver 
 J, 000,000 sijuaro miles, with a population of about .-So.OOO, principally located withi;. ]U() 
 miles of the sea coast. 
 
 It is the only one of tlie Australian group which is still a " Crown" C .lony, thai is 
 to say a liritish dependency, where the otlicials of cie Government, .u well as the Gov- 
 ernor, are appointed Ijy the British Government. 
 
 The chief products are Wool, Timber, Pearls ami Pearl SIkUm, Lead, Copper, etc. 
 
 riiore are seventy-four Government Schools, with im teacher^. .Uid :5,05l' pupils, in 
 the colony. The a:.>ount contri1>uted by the Government for education in 1884 was about 
 )5;)0,00O, and the amount paid by pupils about .67,000. 
 
 The Educatiuii Act in force contaais compulsory Causes, and the Conimijsioners

 NEW ZEALAND. 
 
 N'ew Zealand lies in tlie Pacific Ocean to the south-eastward of and at ]ea.sv one 
 thousand miles from Australia. It consists of three islands and several small islet.s the 
 total ar a is about 100,000 si.nare miles, the estimated population in 1885 was .^TG.'i.U, 
 exclusive o;' about 40,000 Maories. 
 
 Tasmi-n visited New Zealand in 1G42 and found it peopled by the Maori race. The 
 next European who visited the country was Capt. Cook, in 17C9; the Maories, its abori- 
 ginal inhabitanf s, were at that time cannibals, devoid of religious ))elief, except confused 
 notions of good aid evil demons. Capt. Cook is said to have planted in the country the 
 first germ of coloniz ',tion. Notwithstanding this, for a number of years New Zealand was 
 only known to the civilized world for the danger of its coasts and ferocity of its inhabit- 
 ants. 
 
 In 1811, th(! representatives of the English Church Missionary Society became the 
 first European residents. After several years, in which the country became morally contam- 
 inated from the influx of traders, run-away sailors and ad venturers, the IJritish government 
 interfered, and suljsequently, after negotiation with the native chiefs, assumed complete 
 possession of the lountry. 
 
 The constitution was that of Crown Colonies, and the Governor, except in so far as 
 he was controlletl by the Imperial Government, was almost despotic. 
 
 In 1 85.'}, a new constitution, based on the popular principle, came into force. 
 
 In 1803, the entire responsibility and control of the country was transferred from the 
 Imperial to the Colonial Government, and the usage of responsible Government is now in 
 full foi'ce. 
 
 Public schools are free, the cost being defrayed by an annualparliamentary vot 'ie 
 
 amount voted for free schools in 1886 was about 617,000. They have 987 public < 
 with y7,"238 enrolled pupils and 2,447 teach-^'-?. 
 
 There are also seventy-one native schc'^'i "or the education of the Mao. 
 in 18S4 cost the country over !?f57,0OO. 
 
 Several European schools, also, receive subsidy from the Government ft. 
 of Maori pupils. The total numl)er of Maori children receiving education i 
 2,929. Endowed Secondary Schools.'Grammaranil High Schools, and Endowed Thiiol<\fri- 
 eal C,)l leges hive also been estal)lished in various parts of the Colony. These are 
 most part alUliatod to the Univoraity of New Zealand.

 The University of New Zealand is purely an examining body. It is empowered by 
 lioyal Charter to confer degrees, but it has no teachers in its employment ; the teaching 
 ■pM't of the work is done by affiliated institutions. 
 
 Educntiomd Exhibit. 
 
 The Education Department, Wellington, e.vhibiti d a small collection of School 
 Books, Reports and Pamphlets, and a private exhibitor sent some Drawing Books.

 and in alcohol, also Skeletons disarticulated and mounted for teaching purposes. 
 
 The Canterbury Museum had an excellent exhibit of skeli'tons of extinct New Zea- 
 land Birds, including the Dinornis Maximus, also Maps, Drawing.s, etc.

 FIJI. 
 
 The Colony of Fiji is a group of islands in the South Pacific numbering over 200, of 
 which eighty are inhabited. The total area is about 8,000 square miles, with a popula- 
 tion of about 110,000, of which about 2,000 are white. 
 
 The Fijian Archipelago was discovered by Tasuian in 1643. About the year 1804 
 twenty-seven convicts escaped fro-n New South Wales and settled among the islands. 
 These desperadoes having tirearms, were dreaded by the native savages, and might have 
 obtained absolute government of the islands ; but they lived only for self-indulgence and 
 the gratification of vile passions, some of them lieing regarded as monsters even liy the 
 ferocious cannibals with whom they associated. 
 
 In 1858, King Thakombau ofiTered to cede the sovereignty of the islands to Her 
 Majesty on certain conditions, which were not accepted. 
 
 In 1871, Thakombau, with the assistance of some Europeans, formed a government 
 for the whole group, and the first parliament met for the kingdom of Fiji. It was found 
 that the system of government adopted was unsuited to the condition of the country, and 
 the Assembly was dissolved in 1873. 
 
 In 1874, Thakombau re-assembled his chiefs, and made another ofter of cession with 
 conditions which were unacceptable to the Imperial Government. Sir Hercules Rob- 
 inson, Governor of New South Wales, was deputed by the House of Lords to proceed 
 to Fiji, and the result of his negotiations was that the king and chiefs made a formal 
 and unconditional cession to Her Majesty of the sovereignty of the islands. 
 
 The first Governor of the new dependency was appointed in 1875. Confidence in the 
 government has grown up and these erstwhile savages are now a law-abiding native com- 
 munity. 
 
 Both Common and High Schools have been provided for upon a similar basis to that 
 adopted in the Australasian colonies. Common Schools have been established in the 
 islands of Suva and Levuka under certified teachers, assisted by pupil teachers. The In- 
 spector's latest report shows that the attendance is regular and the educational results 
 fairly satisfactory. 
 
 For the natives, the Wesleyan Mission have established day schools, at which about 
 42,000 children receive instruction. They have also a native Industrial School, educat- 
 ing about 100 boys from the nortliern provinces, The school is under European superin 
 tendence, assisted by Fijian tutors. In addition to scholastic subjects, instruction is given 
 in agriculture, carpentering, boat " lilding, etc.

 The native Industrial School exhibited a number of carpenters' tools, etc,, manufac-

 NATAL. 
 
 This colony is situated on the eastern side of South Africa, 800 miles beyond the 
 Cape of Good Hope and facing the Indian Ocean, its area is 24,000 square miles; the 
 total i)opulrttion is ■12;3,000, including 35,000 Europeans, 27,000 Indian coolies and 
 361,000 Zulu-Kafirs. 
 
 Natal was first occupied as a British possession in 1843. Sugar is grown along 
 the coast; it was introduced in 1851, and at the present time they have about 29,000 
 acres with an annual produce of about 18,000 tons; tea and tobacco are also grown in 
 large quantities ; coal is found in great abundance ; it has been calculated that the coal 
 fields of the Klip River county will yield over 2,000,000,000 tons. 
 
 There are 173 miles of railroad in operation, owned and worked by the Colonial 
 Government. 
 
 Provision has been made for a system of education for the colony and the mainten- 
 ance of Government Public Schools. These Schools are under the control of the Council of 
 Education, consisting of twelve members, five of whom are ex-officio members of the 
 Executive Council ; the remainder are nominated by the Governor in Council. There is 
 also connected with this Department a Superintendent of Education. 
 
 For Elementary Education there are four Model Primary and seven Primary Schools, 
 distributed through the chief towns. 
 
 These Schools have an annual examination, on which depends capitation grants, pay- 
 able to the teachers, as an incentive to good work, over and above their fixed salaries. 
 There are also about forty Private Schools in receipt of Government grants, and subject 
 to Government supervision. 
 
 For higher education there are two High Schools, Three Bursaries, each $200, t: 
 the High Schools, for three years, are open each year to competition among boys in tlie 
 colony. There is also an exhibition of $750 per annum, tenable for four years, given 
 annually, the holders to proceed to the United Kingdom for the term of the exhibition. 
 The amount voted by the Legislative Council for education in 1885, was !?135,000. 
 The fees paid by the pupils attending the Government Schools in 1885, amounted to 
 about .$16,000, which is paid into the treasury as general revenue. 
 
 The fees at the Primary Schools range from twenty-five cents to one dollar per 
 month, and these are remi rt..; when occasion is shown. During the past year 607 pupils 
 received free education et ^i; ;e Schools.

 In the centre of the Island are found thn rnina of PoUonniiriiwa and Anuri'tdhapura, 
 the I itter was the clioaen capital of King Panduk Abhaya, 437, B.C., and remained the 
 capitil for twelve centuries. Historians write that tht; outer wall of this city enclosed 
 •2r)0 .square miles, and was completed in the first century of the Christian era. 
 
 It still contains interesting records i" stone and the sacred i5o tree. .Major Forbes, 
 in liis " Eleven years in Ceylon," state.s iuan in the reign of King Devinampiya Tissa, 
 ;507, li. C, Anunidhapura received the collar-bone of the Gautama Buddha, his begging- 
 dish tilled with relics and a branch of the Bo tree, under which he attained I'.uddahood.' 
 
 This relie of 2,200 years ago still flouri-shes, and is b''lievt'd to be the oldest living 
 tree of which there is any authentic record. It is held sacred throughout the Buddhist 
 world, and is the goal of many a long pilgrimage. Even the fallen leaves are treasured 
 by the pilgrims, and carried to distant lands. 
 
 The Portuguese were the first European settlers in Ceylon. From early in the IGth 
 to the middle of the 17th ::'enturies they held continuous jiossession. From 1G3G to 17'J6 
 the Dutch governed the maritime provinct>3 of the Island, the Central or Kandyan pro- 
 vinces remaining under their native rules. In 1790 the last remaining stronghold of the 
 Dutch at Colombo capitulated to the English, and the Island became part of the British 
 possessions in the eastern seas. 
 
 Colombo is now the capital, with a population of nearly 120,000. 
 
 Ceylon is celebrated for its plumbago ; upwards of 240,000 persons are erajiloyed in 
 mining and shipping plumbago. In 1882 upward:^ of 240,000 cwt. were exported. Over 
 (ine-half of this ([uantity raised is exported to the United States for the manufacture of 
 pencils, crucibles, etc.* 
 
 The manufacture of salt is a Government monopoly, and produces a profit, from 
 §400,000 to 8ri00,000 per annum. 
 
 The pearl fishing, though uncertain, is still, in favorable years, a valuable addition to 
 the revenue. The same primitive system of gathering the oysters exists as in ancient 
 times ; every oyster is gathered by the hand of the diver, no dredger or implement is 
 allowed to be used. The Government take as royalty two-thirds of the oysters thus 
 gathered, which are sold by auction at the close of each days fishing. In the last success- 
 ful fishery, the Government share realized about 8300,000. 
 
 At present the most important industry is planting coffee in the hill districts. In 
 1874-5 the export of coffee was valued at 825,000,000. Tea is also largely cultivated. 
 Although the Singhalese are mainly an agricultural- race employed in tilling the soil, their 
 exhibits of agricultural implements were of a very primitive stylo. The Singhalese plough 
 of to day is a counterpart of the implement used two thousand years ago. 
 
 Educational Exhibit. 
 
 The Department of Education exhibited Singhalese Maps of Ceylon, Europe and Asia, 
 prepared for vernacular schools. The Department also publish books for the English, 
 Anglo- Vernacular and Vernacular Schools. 
 
 A large number of Buddhist old books were exhibited. These are composed of 
 leaves of a palm tree; the writing is effected with an iron stylus, and the leaf washed over 
 with an equivalent for ink, which, when the rest of the leaf is cleaned, remains on the 
 letters. The whole of the leaves are then pierced and strung together and bound with a 
 board on each side. 
 
 The Government of Ceylon sent a series of large Kandyan Paintings, which were 
 used as a frieze round the walls of the Court. 
 
 Private exhibitors also sent Paintings, Photographs, Botanical I>rawings, etc. 
 
 *The Canadian Plumbago and its products, as exhibited at the Colonial Exposition, took the highest 
 awards at the Philadelphia and Paris Exhibitions for pencils and crucibles, and it is to be hoped that this 
 important trade will soon be in the hands of Canadians.

 The Windward Islands includes the islands of Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and 
 lobago, containing an aggregate of 022 square mil,>s. Thev are presided over bv ., ( Jov- 
 eruor, or Chief, who resides in Grenada, the seat of Government, the other islands having 
 a resident Administrator. Each island has its separate legislature, laws, and tariff. 
 
 Gkknada. 
 
 This island is situated in the Caribbean Sea. It was discovered by Columbus in 
 14)8, and was inhabited by a .u-onle of war-like habits called Caribs. It is about -'l 
 miles in length, and 12 in breadth, with a population of 46.425. In 1050 the Island wis 
 taken possession of by Du Parquet, a Frenchman, who eventually got rid of the natives • 
 after several battles their extermination was ellectcd by driving the last remnant of the 
 Canbs, about hfty into the s-i. The plac.. from which they threw themselves into the 
 sea was called Le Morne de, Snutenrs (tiie Hole of the Leapers), a name it has retained 
 to the present day »" Parquet transferred possession of the island to the Count de 
 Cenllac in 1056, for .iO,000 crowns. Subsequently it was sold to the French West 
 Indian Company, whose cli.irter being abolished in 1674, it became vested in the Crown 
 of b ranee. 
 
 In 1762 Grenada smrendered on capitulation to Great Britain, and was ceded to that 
 power by the Treaty of Pans in h 63. It was recaptured by the French in 1799 and 
 restored to the British Government at the general pacification in 1783. 
 
 The present form of local (}ov(!rnment in Grenada is that known as the Crown Col 
 ony system The Governor, who is appointed by the Queen, is Governor-in-Cliief of the 
 other islands composing the Windward Group. 
 
 The chief produce of the island is cocoa. 
 
 The principal town is St. (4eorge, with a population of about 4,000. It was ori-^in- 
 ally bu.lt by tlw, Irene, who named it Port Royal. It has a large bay,which isestimate.l 
 to be al)le to afford shelter to 1,000 ships of 400 tons each. 
 
 _ Education was formerly much neglecu-d, but of late years they have a "ood system 
 of Elementary schools, which is working with satisfaction. In 1885 a Grammar School 
 was established by some private persons which has since been endowed bv the Govern 
 nient, and is said to promise great results. 
 
 There was no educational exhibit from Grenada.
