MINERAL SURVEYS.
Patents have been issued during the year for 1,820 acres of land in the unsurveyed Territory on the North Shore of Lakes Huron and Superior, the purchasers having fur- nished the required plans and field notes. (See Appendix No. 35, page 49.) '
COLONIZATION ROADS.
The total expenditure on Colonization Roads, during the year 1881, amounts to $101,756.81, the particulars of which will be found in the Superintendent's Report. (Appendix No. 36, pages 50 to 67 inclusive.)
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. Woods and Forests.
The improvement in the sawn lumber and hewn timber trade, noted in my Report of 1880, continued throughout 1881, and my prediction of the previous year, " that for some years to come transactions would be remunerative to all concerned," seems to be in process of fulfilment.
Both sawn lumber and hewn timber have found ready markets and good prices, the former realizing higher value than for years past.
Of square and waney timber, it is reported that during the past shipping season prices have ruled higher than they had ever done before for pine of good quality and average ; and it is stated that the stock on hand at Quebec is light, and scarcely sufficient for spring requirements.
As expressed in my Report for 1879, my opinion, from an economic point of view, is not in favour of the manufacture of square pine ; nevertheless, while the business con- tinues to be carried on, it is gratifying to find that a good return is obtained for the article.
The output of lumber at some of the saw-mills fell short in 1881 of the quantity estimated by the proprietors as the probable cut of the season. This is attributed to
vii.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
scarcity of water in the streams, owing to which considerable quantities of logs failed to reach the point of manufacture. In several instances operators in square and waney timber have been subjected to the same drawback.
In the interest of the public revenue, as well as of the settlers who had taken up lands in some unlicensed townships south of French River and Lake Nipissing, it became necessary to deal with the pine within the territory before it became jeopardized by tires raised in clearing the lands or damaged and wasted by locatees cutting it indis- criminately for their own purposes, in doing which, timber of the finest quality is cut down and applied to uses for which inferior lumber would be suitable, the result being a depreciation of the value of the timber limits before they are brought into market, and in consequence a loss to the revenue. Accordingly, an inspection of the timber in the town- ships referred to was made in the fall, and on 6th October notice was published that a sale of timber limits in the territory would take place at the Department of Crown Lands on the 6th of the current month.
The time selected for the sale was extremely opportune ; parties engaged in lumber- ing had just closed a successful season's business, and having the means were prepared to invest in limits. The attendance was large and the bidding spirited, the prices ob- tained being beyond precedent, some 1,379 square miles realizing a total of $733,675.25, of which has been paid up to date $321,354.66, making the total collection on account of Woods and Forests for the year, $839,716.86
MINES AND MINERALS.
Gold.
Gold mining operations in the County of Hastings have made some progress during the year.
The Gatling mine, in the Township of Marmora, having been purchased by a wealthy company, known as the " Consolidated Gold Mining Company," the new company gives constant employment to about 100 men, have sunk shafts to the depth of 214 feet and 100 feet respectively, and have raised a large quantity of the gold-bearing quartz, which is estimated to yield $12 per ton. A one hundred-stamp crusher is nearly completed and will shortly be in active operation, and from the powerful machinery employed and the improved method of separating the gold from the rock, those engaged in the enter- prise anticipate gratifying results.
Operations to some considerable extent have been carried on in several other mines
in the locality, but owing to a lack of the necessary funds, the works have been suffered
to languish.
Silver.
Silver mining on the North Shore of Lake Superior appears to have been carried on ■with increased energy during the year.
Silver Islet. The operations on Silver Islet have been attended with their usual success during the year, and large quantities of good stamp rock continue to be taken out.
viii.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
Pie Island.
Rich silver ore, with some native silver, having been discovered on Pie Island, opera- tions are being prosecuted there on an extended scale during the winter.
Works are also in progress at the mine on McKellar Island and at other mines in the neighbourhood, and it is hoped that silver mining in the Thunder Bay District will progress favourably during tho approaching season.
Copper.
The Michipicoton Island Copper Company are carrying on operations on their pro- perty on Michipicoton Island, in Lake Superior, on a somewhat extensive scale.
They are said to have sunken shafts to a considerable depth, and were, in November last, drifting in a very rich lode of copper ore, and had then in their employment 91 men and 4 boys. The crushers are said to have been in readiness and the stone-breakers nearly completed, and a large supply of necessaries were then being laid in for winter operations. These works are carried on under the superintendence of John Opie, Esq., who speaks encouragingly as to their future prospects.
Iron.
Iron mining in the Counties of Peterborough, Hastings, Addington, Frontenac and Lanark, have been carried on with increased energy during the year 1881.
The Dufferin mine is owned (with the Nelson mine) by the Bethlehem Iron and Steel Works Company and the Cambria Iron Company of Pennsylvania, who have sunken shafts to the depth of 80 feet on the main ore bed, and have brought to the sur- face, ready for shipment, 5,000 tons of choice ore, and it is expected that when the mine has been fully opened up, it will afford employment for 500 men.
The Cameron mine has recently been purchased by the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company of Cleveland, Ohio, who intend commencing operations in spring, when it is expected that railway facilities will be extended to enable them to send their ore to market.
The Hudson mine, situated on the same range with the Dufferin and Cameron mines, has been worked to a considerable extent, and the ore brought to the surface is awaiting facilities for shipment.
The Wallbridge Hematite mine is now owned and worked by the Bethlehem Iron and Steel Company, who have shipped from it, during the last six months, over 20,000 tons.
The Emily mine is a new property, not yet fully opened up. The ore is said to be of a very superior quality, yielding 62 per cent, of metallic iron.
The Louise mine, the outcrop of which occurs on a thickly-wooded slope, indicates a very large supply, yielding 62 per cent, of metallic iron.
The Wollaston mine is said to be of very large extent, with ore exposed by work done, showing a length of half a mile and a width of from 40 to 75 feet, but there does not appear to have been anything done towards preparing the ore for market.
ix.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
The Paxton mine, situated in the Township of Snowden, has been worked by Messrs. Paxton and Jones, who have shipped, during the year, 973 tons.
The Pusey mine, situated in the same township, has been worked by C. J. Pusey, Esq., who has shipped, during the year, 480 tons.
The under-mentioned quantities of ore have been taken out at the different mines in the Counties of Addington, Frontenac and Lanark, and shipped at Kingston and Brock- ville during the year 1881, that is to say : —
Through the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and
shipped at. Brockville 1,250 tons.
Through the Bideau Canal and shipped at Kingston .... 5,421 " From the Roberts mine via K. <fc P. Railway and
shipped at Kingston 10,194 "
From the Bedford mines via the K. & P. Railway and
shipped at Kingston 1,410 "
From the Lavant mines via the K. & P. Railway and
shipped at Kingston 1,896 "
Total 20,144 "
The following quantities of ore have been brought to the surface at the mines in the Townships of Lavant and Bedford, and are awaiting shipment in the spring, that is to say : —
At the Bethlehem Co.'s mine in Lavant 6,000 tons.
At Boyd, Caldwell & Son's mine in Lavant 4,000 "
At W. H. Caldwell's " " 1,000 "
At the Glendower " Bedford 600 "
Total 11,600 "
Phosphates.
The under-mentioned quantities of phosphates have been mined in the interior and shipped at the Ports of Kingston and Brockville during the year 1881, that is to say : —
From the Loughboro' mines 2,577 tons.
" Lots 14 and 15, in 5th concession of Oso 91
" Bob's Lake in Bedford 800
" North Burgess 1,581
" Opinicon Lake 340
" Rideau Canal 1,500
North Burgess 30
Total 6,919
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
The average prices obtained for iron ore at the ports of shipment are said to be $3, and for phosphates 113.50 per ton.
The foregoing information relating to iron and phosphates mining is chiefly derived from the interesting letters of Messrs. McPherson and Coe, and will be found in Appen- dices Nos. IS and 14, pages 20, 21, 22 and 23.

45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
Iron Company of Pennsylvania, now working one of the Levant mines, have entered into contract with the Kingston and Pembroke Railway Co. for the freightage of 10,000 tons of ore annually for twenty years, and expect much more will be got out. This road is now constructed to the Levant mines, and will be ready for traffic as soon as the Gov- ernment Inspector reports upon it.
Messrs. Boyd, Caldwell ife Co. and W. C. Caldwell, of Lanark, have also made con- tracts with the Kingston and Pembroke Railway Co. for the transport of large quantities of Iron Ore from their mines in the Levant Township.
There has been expended at the Robert's mine, township of Palmerston, about $75,000 ; at the Levant mines about $10,000 ; and at the Glendower mine, township of Bedford, say, $60,000.
In the township of Lanark are several mines of Iron and Phosphate, but owing to the want of railway communication, they remain undeveloped.
The Kingston Charcoal and Iron Company, which was organized this year, is now engaged in the construction of works at Sharbot Lake, township of Oso, for the manufac- ture of charcoal, having in view ultimately the establishing of smelting works, in which the charcoal produced will be utilized. These works are on the principle known as the " Mathieu patent," which consists of the carbonization of the wood in retorts, by which means the volatile matters are saved, and various by-products obtained which will find a ready market. The company have expended about $13,000, and hope to have the works in operation early in February next.
Your obedient servant,
R Macpherson,
Grown Lands Agent.
APPENDIX No. 14.
Madoc, December 29th, 1881.
Hon. T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands, Ontario, Toronto.
Sir, — It has occurred to me that it might not be uninteresting for you to know the progress made in mining affairs for the past year in Central Ontario, and having been actively interested in this pursuit, I give you the result of my knowledge and observa- tions on the subject.
I would state that the village of Madoc has increased very largely in wealth and population on account of the activity of the mining industry in its adjacent vicinity. From the purchase by capitalists of several properties in its immediate neighbourhood, the erection of works thereon, and the employment of skilled and unskilled labour in these undertakings, the merchants and traders of Madoc have, derived a very considerable business, which has been both constant and profitable. One of these mining industries is the Consolidated Gold Mining Co., who are the successors of and purchasers from the Gatling Mining Co. The men at the head of this enterprise reside in New York City, and before purchasing this property took every precaution to satisfy themselves of its value. Shafts have been sunk to the depth of 214 and 100 feet respectively, showing in both instances a vein of mispickel ore on the bottom, of from eight to ten feet in width. A hundred stamp mill is about completed, and also a residence for the manager, as well as dwellings for the miners and other operatives. These, with the workshops, give the place the appearance of a good-sized village. There is a large quantity of ore in stock above ground, awaiting the completion of the mill, and it is supposed to run about $12 per ton. I should say about 100 men were continuously employed. The success attend- ing the working of this mine will have a great deal to do with the opening of similar locations of ore in this section. On account of the peculiar treatment the ore requires, a great deal of delay has taken place for experimental purposes, but it is now said, and has been current for some time, that the difficulties have been overcome, and in consequence, matters here are being pushed more vigorously, and witli much better prospects of success than heretofore.

The Dufferin Mine
during the past year lias changed hands, it having, along with the Nelson Mine, been sold at a large figure to the Bethlehem Iron and Steel Works, of Bethlehem, Pa., and the Cambria Iron Co., of Johnstown, Pa. Work is being vigorously prosecuted on this property, with a view of fully developing it. Shafts have been sunk to the depth of 80 feet on the main ore bed, showing continuous ore with fine prospects at the depth reached. Openings have been made during the explorations, from which 5,000 tons of very choice ore have been brought to the surface, and placed in stock pits ready for shipment.
It is the intention of the company to prosecute mining operations until they have secured a connection with the railway which will permit them to ship on more favourable terms than at present. The mining of tin; surface outcrop alone will fully occupy a very large number of hands, and when fully opened up it is expected to give employment to over 500 men.
The Cameron Mine
is now the property of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Co., of Cleveland, O. This lode is a continuation of the Dufferin Mine, and is promising to make a very large bed of ore. As it has lately been purchased no operations have been entered on, the proprietors intending to commence its development early in the spring. The above two properties have been retarded in a great measure by want of railway facilities. This difficulty will be over- come, as arrangements have been made to have a branch constructed to them from the main line of railway at an early date. The yield of metallic iron is 69 per cent., and the analysis of the ore shows it to be free from all injurious substances, which makes it a No. 1 Bessemer steel ore.
The Hudson Mine
is on the same range as the preceding, and from want of transportation facilities the oie taken out is lying in stock at the mine until the road is completed. A large amount of work has been done on this property, opening up a fine bed of ore, yielding from 68 to 70 per cent, metallic iron.
The Wallbkidge Hematite Iron Mine.
The lease of this mine was purchased from Cox, Mitchell ife Co., along with the fee simple of the Dutferin Mine by the Bethlehem Iron-Steel Co. It has been worked con- tinuously for the past two years with very satisfactory results. The output for the past six months has been upwards of 20,000 tons. The ore is shipped to Belleville daily, where it is now stocked waiting the opening of navigation for shipment to the company's works at Bethlehem, Pa.
The ore is used for making Bessemer steel, and is fit for the manufacture of fine cutlery. It is gving very great satisfaction to the company using it, as it is a superior grade to any of this class of ore now obtainable in the United States. It stands the blast in the furnace equal to a hard specular ore, and keeps up to the standard of about 64 per cent, of metallic iron. The mine is equipped with elevated hoisting gearing, and tramway running from the shafts to the pockets from which the cars are filled on the side of the railway track, the latter having been built to the mine within the past six months.
In the townships of Tudor and Wollaston several new discoveries have been made of magnetic iron ore beds of immense size and superior quality. The Baker Mine has been explored with very gratifying results. The analysis showed
Ferrous oxide 29. 1 B
Ferric oxide 64.95
Titanic acid none
Phosphorus a trace
Sulphur 0.13
Silicious rock matter 5.66
Metallic iron 68.16

45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
The Emily Mine
is a new property, which bids fair to rival, if not distance, some of its competitors. The ore is soft, black, strongly magnetic, of fine granular and porous texture. The analysis of this ore, by Prof. Chapman, is as follows : —
Ferrous oxide 2S.32
Ferric oxide G3. 24
Chromic oxide a trace
Titanic oxide none
Phosphorus barely a trace
Sulphur 0.02
Silicious rock matter 8.36
Metallic iron 67 per cent.
The Louise Mine.
The main outcrop of ore of this mine occurs upon a thickly-wooded slope, and indicates a very large supply, traceable by openings for a length of 1,400 feet. The analysis shows this ore to yield 62 per cent, of metallic iron.
The Wollaston Mine
has been stripped and mining commenced. Perhaps it would not be saying too much to mention that this mine is one of the most valuable in the Province, being fully half a mile in length, with ore exposed by work done showing a width of from 40 to 75 feet. The ore is almost as soft as a hematite ore, and in consequence easily moved and smelted. Various analyses of this ore have been made by furnacemen on the other side, who have pronounced it to be equal to anything on the continent. During my recent trip to England, the samples of ore from this mine which I took with me attracted great atten- tion ; their purity and softness being a great surprise to ironmasters there. The result of this trip, by introducing Canadian ores to the English markets will, I trust, prove satisfactory.
It is the intention of proprietors of mines in the back townsnips to prosecute work vigorously during the winter months, in anticipation of railway expansion at an early day.
I have reason to believe that the iron business in this section is increasing in extent and importance, and will yet prove one of the chief factors of the Province's prosperity. Americans are very anxious to get our ores, and have of late been very persistent in their inquiries after supplies for their furnaces From new features of the gold industry there promises to be a revival of interest with good results in auriferous quartz and mispickel ores.
Yours respectfully,
William Coe.

SURVEYORS' REPORTS
(Appendix No. 19.)
DISTRICT OF NIPISSING.
Township of Calvin.
Peterborough, Ontario,
10th December, 1881.
Sir, — In accordance with instructions from your Department, dated 18th May, 1881, for the survey of the township of Calvin, after making the necessary preparations, I proceeded to that locality.
Commencing at the intersection of the line between concessions eight and nine of Papineau, with the western boundary of that township, Iran on a bearing S. 69° 08' 20" W. astronomically, carrying along as much of my work as I conveniently could. Turn- ing at the line between lots thirty and thirty-one, I ran N. 20° 51' 40" W. Again turn- ing at the hue between concessions eight and nine, I ran easterly, completing the survey.
The township of Calvin has been traversed by repeated and severe fires. So well have the flames done their work that, with the exception of an insignificant portion, scarcely a vestige of the original timber remains. In its place has sprung up a dense second-growth of birch, poplar, cherry, etc.
The southern portion of the township and some of the north-east corner are good — the surface is either level or undulating in long and gradual slopes. The soil consists of clay, clay-loam, and sandy loam. There ai-e a few large farms which, although they have evidently received but poor attention, still continue to give good crops of hay, oats, etc. There is no doubt the tire has consumed much of the richness of the soil, but care and culture will restore it, while the ease with which the land can be cleared must be taken as an important offset. The country is admirably adapted for cattle raising, there being excellent pasturage through the woods, while the beaver-meadows are both large and numerous.
The northern portion of this township, especially in the neighbourhood of the lakes and Mattawan River, is utterly unfit for settlement, bemg mountainous, rugged, and sterile to a degree; the hillsides are covered with sharp broken boulders, while the more level portions are bald rock.
The geological formation is chiefly gneiss and sandstone, with no trace of mineral that I could discover ; neither did the needle shew any disturbance worthy of record.
The country is abundantly supplied with springs and small spring creeks. The principal streams are the Pautois Creek and Amable du Fond ; the former flowing into the latter is insignificant in itself, but is rendered important by the numerous slides and dams erected by the Messrs. Hurdman & Co. The Amable is much larger, and within some miles of its mouth is alternate lake and river. On it many costly dams and slides have been erected by Mr. Win. Mackey, of Ottawa, who owns valuable limits further up the river. Both these streams are the watery highways by which a large quantity of
28
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
timber is annually floated to the Mattawan, and thence to the Ottawa. At present there are but few settlers, but doubtless numbers will flock in, now that the Canada Central Railway has pierced the country. It is proposed that before the end of the year trains shall be running to Mackey's Mill, at the head of Crooked Chute Lake. At this point this gentleman has erected a saw- mill, which is in full operation. This is only a forerunner of a very large one to be built in the spring, with the view of sawing lumber for exportation by rail. Mr. Mackey also intends erecting a grist mill for the convenience of settlers.
Farther down the river a saw-mill is being put up by Mr. Bonfield, M.P.P., which will be running in the spring, also intended for sawing and exporting lumber.
Altogether matters look bright for the settlement of this section of the country. Taking a low estimate, I consider sixty per cent, of Calvin fitted for agricultural, and a much larger for grazing purposes.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Lawrence Tall an, Provincial Land Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands, Toronto.

Township of Hunter.
Fenelon Falls, Ontario,
1st December, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to report that, in compliance with your instructions, dated 18th May, 1881, I have made a survey of the township of Hunter, in the District of Nipissing, and beg to submit the following report, as also my field notes and plan of the same : —
In proceeding to the field, I ascended the North Paver as far as the north boundary of the township of Peck, on Joe Lake, cacheing my provisions at a portage on the west side of the north bay of this lake, and, after moving my camp west on said boundary to where I estimated the line between lots fifteen and sixteen would start, I measured east- erly from the south-east corner of the towuship of McCraney, making each lot twenty chains wide, leaving one chain for a road between every fifth and sixth lot, and established the starting point of the line between lots fifteen and sixteen. At this point, I, on the night of the 8th July, took an observation on the eastern elongation of Polaris, and next day started this line on an astronomical course N. 20° 51' 40" W. My reasons for running this line first were to ascertain if there were any lakes or rivers that might be utilized in forwarding my supplies. After running the first one hundred chains, I moved camp to Soft Lake, and from thence produced the line to the north side of Potter Lake, and ran also the line between concessions two and three to the east side of Joe Lake, on an ascronomical course N. G9° 8' 20" E., and west to the line between lots ten and eleven, and the line between concessions four and five to the line between lots twenty and twenty-one, and this latter line across the first four concessions. I then moved camp west, on the line between concessions two and three, to the line between lots ten and eleven, and north on said line to the line between concessions twelve and thirteen, running, as I went, all the intervening lines to west boundary, and east to the line between lots twenty and twenty-one, and also the lines between lots five and six and fifteen and sixteen. I did not move my main camp any further north, but, after producing ten and eleven to the north boundary, took a flying camp to that point and ran the boundary to west boundary, and east to Misty Lake.
I then, after rumiiug the line between concessions twelve and thirteen to west boundary and finishing the line between lots five and six, moved east on this line to the
10
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
line between lots thirty and thirty-one, running, as I went, the intervening side lines and the north boundary. I then moved south on this line, running, as I went, the remainder of the concession and side lines, and the east boundary, finishing in the south-east corner, and traversing the lakes as I went along.
I should say that at least four-fifths of the land in Hunter, west of the line between lots fifteen and sixteen, is fit for settlement, also on the south boundary east of the line between lots thirty and thirty-one, and on the line between concessions eight and nine as far east as lot thirty-two, while the line between concessions twelve and thirteen is nearly all good land; along the north boundary the soil is mostly good sandy loam, the country undulating, with occasional high hills and a few bluffs. I should Bay, upon the whole, that between forty and fifty per cent, is well adapted for settlement.
The western part of the township is nearly all hardwood, with some scattering large white pine and occasionally small groves of the same timber. The hardwood consists of black birch, maple, and beech. The birch is the largest and finest quality I have ever seen, and in some places the maple is also large and of a good quality. In the eastern part the timber is more mixed, there being a good deal of hemlock, small cedar, and balsam, with a dense undergrowth of small brush, hazel, etc., over nearly the whole of the township. A small part near the east boundary has been run over by fire some eight or ten years ago, and the timber nearly all destroyed. I have shewn the burnt part on the timber map. On this a dense growth of white birch, poplar, and maple is growing up. The fire has penetrated the township from the east.
The part of the township east of the line between lots fifteen and sixteen, and south of a line drawn easterly from Mcintosh Lake, will make a valuable timber limit, the pine especially around Joe Lake being of a large and superior quality, and of easy access to navigable water.
The township is well watered by lakes and creeks of the purest water. The northern part is drained by the Petewawa Kiver, which is here a small stream, and the southern part by the Muskoka Eiver, which is here also a small stream, but quite capable, owing to the number of lakes which empty into it, of being made navigable for timber and logs. Island Lake, I was informed by a trapper, is some six or seven miles long, and is evidently the source of the Muskoka Eiver. It is divided from White Trout Lake on the Petewawa by a portage of only a few chains. The small lake on lots six and seven in the second concession is the most easterly source of the East Eiver. The lakes all abound as usual with speckled and salmon trout, and the woods with moose and red deer.
The township is altogether Laurentian, the rocks granite and gneiss. I found no limestone, nor any trace of minerals.
I should say the easiest way of getting into the township of Hunter for settlement, is through the township of McCraney, which is now being settled up, and the best land is adjacent to that township.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
James Dickson, Provincial Land Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands, Toronto.

Township of Boulter.
Parry Sound, Ontario,
30th August, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to report that under instructions received from your office, dated 18th May, 1881, to sub-divide the township of Boulter, I proceeded to the said township immediately on receipt of the said instructions, and commenced my survey by
30
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
brushing out and chaining the east boundary of the township of Chisholm through the first eight concessions. I then observed Polaris on the morning of the 13th June, on said boun- dary, at concession line two and three, and ran said line N. G9° 08' 20" E., and using said hue for a base for niy work on the south side of the township. I carried the work in the first six concessions eastward to the east boundary, which I ran N. 20° 51' 40" W., under repeated observations to the south boundary of the township of Bonfield, which had been run by Provincial Laud Surveyor Byrne. I then carried my work westward, using con- cession line ten and eleven for my base, and completing the survey as I went.
About one-third of the township of Boulter has been burnt over, and the timber entirely destroyed, and is now grown up with scrub. Where the timber had been princi- pally pine, the second growth is poplar ; and where hardwood, it is grown up with cherry and hardwood brush. That part of the township which has not been burnt over is timbered principally with pine and hardwood.
The face of the country is very much broken with high rolling hills and small swamps and numerous small creeks, but not so many small lakes as there are through the country further south.
The soil is generally light and sandy, and in many places stony, but differs from the country further south in the absence of exposed rock on the higher hills, which are all well timbered.
The greater part of the township has been lumbered over, and there appears to have been a great deal of square or board timber taken out. The south-eastern portion of the township is drained by the Amable du Fond River, and the balance by the JSfasbon- sing River, the headwaters of which are a chain of lakes passing through about the centre of the township from east to west. The river passes out of the township near the north-west corner; thence north-westerly through the township of Chisholm into Nas- bonsing Lake.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
D. Beatty, Provincial Land Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pabdee,
Commissioner of Crown Lauds, Toronto.
{Appendix ATo. 22.) Township of Bonfield.
Saenia, Ontario,
15th October, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to report that, in accordance with your instructions, dated the 8th May, 1881, 1 have completed the survey of the township of Bonfield into farm lots.
Commencing at the south-west corner of the township, being the south-east angle of lot number twenty-nine in the fifteenth concession of the township of Chisholm, I chained north along the west boundary one hundred chains to the line between the second and third concessions. After taking observations, I ran concession line two and three on a course N. 69° 08' 20" E., astronomically, making it the base of the survey, laying off the various side roads and concession lines, as shewn on the accompanying plan and field notes, and in accordance with the instructions.
About seventy per cent, of this township is good agricultural land, the best lying between concession lines four and five and the Kaibuskong River — the soil being princi- pally clay loam — the greater portion of this tract being already taken up by settlers. Some very fine tracts of land were found north of Lake Nasbonsing and Kaibuskong River. Lots one to eight in concessions eight to twelve form a good tract of land, the soil being clay and sandy loam. The northern point lying between Pine Lake and the Mattawan River is also a fine tract of land, the soil being principally clay loam.
31
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
About five thousand acres in the south-east part of the township, as shewn on the timber maps, have been burned, leaving only the dead trunks of trees standing ; over this a dense growth of poplar, cherry, etc., is growing up. To the north of this, and smith of concession lines six and seven, the timber is birch, maple, hemlock and pine ; the most valuable portion of the pine being taken away in square timber and sawlogs. The balance of the township, about two-thirds, has been several times overrun by fire, leaving only a few patches of green woods ; the burned portion being covered with poplar, cherry, white birch, etc.
The township is well watered by numerous springs and small streams. The Kai- buskong Kiver, passing through the central portion of the township from Lake Nasbonsing 1 1 Lake Talons, and the Mattawan River, forming the north boundary, being the principal streams. The principal lakes are Nasbonsing, Talons, Pine, and Turtle Lakes.
The general face of the country is undulating. Access to the township is at present by the Mattawan River ; but the Canada Central Railway, at present in course of con- struction through this township, will soon afford ample means of access. There are at present sixty to seventy actual settlers in the township, with clearings from one to one hundred and sixty acres, as per inspection return.
I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Thos. Byrne, Provincial Land Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands, Toronto.

DISTRICT OF ALGOMA.
Township of Scarfe.
Listowel, Ontario,
December 8th, 1881.
Sir, — I accordance with your instructions, dated 18th May, 1881, I proceeded by rail to Collingwood ; thence by steamer to Blind River ; thence by canoe to the north- east angle of the township of Cobden, at which point I commenced the survey of the township of Scarfe. After taking an observation of Polaris, I ran the boundary between the townships of Scarfe and Mack due north, astronomically, leaving each concession a depth of eighty chains. I ran the side lines at right angles to this boundary eighty chains apart, leaving each lot a frontage of forty chains, excepting lot twelve in each concession, which has a greater width on account of the east boundary of the township Tatton having a slightly different bearing to the general bearings of the side lines in this township. Each concession has a uniform depth of eighty chains, excepting the first concession, which has a greater depth going westerly on account of the north boundary of the township of Cobden having a different beariug from the general bearings of the concessions of this township.
The soil in this township is sand, with but little loam ; very barren and totally unfit for cultivation.
The timber is chiefly spruce, tamarac, cedar, and pine ; some maple, birch, and oak. The spruce and tamarac in many places are very thick, and of the right dimensions for railway ties. There is very little pine of any commercial value, it being very scrubby and stunted. The Norway pine is too small to be of much value. The maple aud black birch will make good lumber for the manufacture of furniture, being large and thrifty. The oak is of but little value, being short and scrubby. The cedar is small and rotten- h carted. No ash or elm of importance.
32
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
The principal rock is trap, a few boulders of granite, and a few of conglomerate are found. Gray slate crops out on Lake Cbiblow in one or two places.
I did not find any minerals of any importance, but saw two or three smali veins with traces of iron pyrites in them ; but not of any value.
The water in the lakes and streams is very pure and good, but soft. In some of the lakes it is very limpid — especially in Medindunada and Clear Lakes.
Fish are not very abundant. Pike, pickerel and bass are the chief kinds. In some of the lakes trout and whitefish are caught, but late in the season.
I might say in plain terms, that this township will be of but little value for agricul- ture or timber products ; the general surface is very rough and broken, and in some places may be termed mountainous.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Lewis Bolton, Provincial Land Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands, Toronto.

Township of Long.
Mount Forest, Ontario,
1st November, 1881.
Sir, — -I have the honour to submit to you my report on the survey of the township of Long, in the District of Algoma, surveyed under instructions from your Department, dated 18th May, 1881.
This township is situated north of Lake Huron, and is bounded as follows : — On the east by the township of Spragge, surveyed in 1861 by Provincial Land Surveyor Unwin; on the north by the unsurveyed township of McGiveriu ; on the west by the newly-surveyed township of Striker, surveyed this season by Provincial Land Surveyor Bowman ; and on the south by the waters of Lake Huron.
As instructed, I commenced the survey by carefully retracing the western boundary of the township of Spragge, and after measuring the proper distance north along this boundary, I laid off the line between concessions two and three, running it due west, leaving the concession fronting on Lake Huron of an irregular depth, and making con- cessions three, four, five, and six of the regular depth of eighty chains, and the lots of a width of forty chains each, containing three hundred and twenty acres. I ran the side lines due north and south eighty chains apart, and the concession lines due east and west. I found considerable trouble in retracing the west boundary of Spragge, owing to the length of time since it had been run, and also to the country having been burned over since the survey, and now grown up with a thick growth of poplar and birch under- brush. I also retraced the boundaries of Mining Location X and Mining Locations A and B, as well as the westerly limit of the mill location of Algoma Mills.
Nearly the whole of this township, with the exception of about fifteen hundred acres at the north-westerly angle and a strip or fringe between Lauzon Lake and Lake Huron at the south, has been completely destroyed by fire, and is now growing up with a thick growth of poplar and birch underbrush, which, in some places, are from ten to twelve feet in height.
At the north-westerly angle the timber is maple, black birch, hemlock, cedar, bal- sam, and some very good white pine. The black birch and hemlock is also from one to three feet in diameter. Along Lake Huron the same kind of timber exists, but usually so small as to be of but little value ; although along the line between concessions ono and two there is some black birch and hemlock of large size.
33
45 Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
The country is broken and rocky, with small swamps between the rock ridges, and also an occasional lake. These lakes are nearly all small, excepting Lauzon Lake. This lake is not more than from a quarter to half a mile from Lake Huron, and runs almost parallel with the shore of Lake Huron.
It extends to within one mile and three-quarters of the east boundary of the town- ship, and to the west some distance into the new township of Striker, and has a width of from one-half mile to one mile, running out into large bays to the north and south. The shore is high, rough and rocky ; the north shore being covered with a thick growth of small poplar and birch, excepting towards the west boundary, where it is almost bare of timber, while the south shore is covered with birch, spruce, balsam, hemlock, pine, and maple.
The rock is chiefly micaceous gneiss, and although Mining Locations A, B, and X are supposed to contain iron, there is no magnetic attraction of any account.

DISTRICT OF NIPISSING.
Township of Badgerow.
Napanee, Ontario,
31st October, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to report that, acting under instructions from your office, bearing date 18th May, 1881, to proceed to and survey the township of Badgerow, in the Nipissing District, into lots of three hundred and twenty acres each, on the 5th July 1 started from home with the usual quota of assistants, etc., and reached the township on the 17th July. I found that Provincial Land Surveyor H. B. McEvoy had the east boun- dary already run ; and knowing from work on the ground last year that the line between lots six aud seven of the township of Caldwell correspouded with the same line in Badgerow, I therefore took an observation at the intersection of lots six and seven and the north boun- dary of Caldwell, and laying off the azimuth angie ran the hue between lots six and seven north astronomically eighty chains, where I planted a post for concession two, and eighty chains farther I planted a post for concession three. I next ran the line between lots four and five in a similar manner, planting a post at the end of eighty chains for concession two, etc. I then, in a like manner, ran the side-line between lots two and three, eight and nine, ten and eleven, and the west boundary. I afterwards began at the post planted for concession two mi side-line two and three, and ran the concessiou line east astronomically to the boundary of Field, planting a post at the distance of forty chains from the east boundary for lot one. Retracing my steps, I ran this line due west astrono- mically to the west boundary, planting intermediate posts every forty chains. I thus carried up the whole of the lines abreast until I reached concession four, where I took a flying camp to the north-west end aud north-east angles respectively, winding up my operations at the latter.
The soil generally met with is a heavy white clay overlaid with from three inches to as many feet of vegetable mould or muck ; iu some places sandy loam, aud in others pure sand.
The general surface is rolling or hilly, the valleys being generally swamps of some description, such as Labrador tea marshes, alder and willow, and hay marshes. Ex- cellent pasturage is however to be met with throughout the whole of this township ;
34
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
and taking into consideration the numerous large creeks, lakes and ponds, the near ap- proach of railway facilities (as the Canada Central extension line passes through the north end of this township), these seem to shew the adaptability as a stock-raising dis- trict of this section of country.
About one-third of the township may be called the pine district, although scattered green pine are to be found all over this township. The pine is rough in quality, but tolerably sound, of fair average, but not long, not averaging over three logs to a tree. Along the north side of the Sturgeon Eiver and a narrow belt on the south side some good black ash, elm and soft maple, spruce, tamarac, and cedar are to be found. With the exception of a few small groves of hardwood, the rest of the township has been repeat- edly overrun with fire and is now grown up with poplar, aspen, birch and soft maple.
Four lakes were within the limits of my survey. The general character of their shores is the same, being rocky in some places and swampy in others. The water is dark coloured, but is good and pure, and is literally packed with bass and pickerel.
The Sturgeon Eiver also passes through the north-east corner of this township. Its water is singularly clear and transparent, is very rapid, but has no falls and is full of fish, chiefly bass. Its banks are high and composed of clay entirely, and judging by the water-marks left on the trees, is liable to great freshets in the flood season, as these marks are fully twenty feet above the normal level of the water.
Of fur -bearing animals we saw traces (and quite recent ones) of the beaver, otter, muskrat, fisher, and mink. Bears are very plentiful, but only one was seen by me. The tracks and other traces of the moose deer were very common, and a number of the common red deer were seen by the members of my party. No wolves were heard, nor, as far as I could learn from the Iudians, were there any.
Partridges and ducks were plentiful, and late in the fall and early in the spring, wild geese.
Triaugulations of lakes and all distances across lakes and rivers were made with a micrometer and pocket sextant and transit.
I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your obedient servant,

DISTRICT OF ALGOMA.
Township of Striker.
West Montrose, Ontario,
23rd November, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour, in accordance with instructions dated 23rd May, 1881, to submit the following report of the survey of the township of Striker, in the District of Algoma : —
I commenced the survey, by retracing the west boundary and chaining a distance of eight)' chains northerly from Lake Huron, where, after taking an observation of Polaris, I proceeded to rim the front of the second concession on a course bearing due east, thence working north aud east, completing about half of the distance from east to west as we moved north, and the balance as we returned south. I traversed Lake of the Mountains, Lauzon's Lake, Bass Lake and Skull Lake being all I considered large enough ; also the shore of Lake Huron, commencing at the south-east angle of the
35

township and finishing at the south-west angle, planting a post for the front of the first concession at every forty chains, due west by calculation, as I went along.
In running my lines on reaching rny east boundary I found it had already been run by Provincial Land Surveyor McLean, of Mount Forest, and retracing it south to the south shore of Lauzon's Lake, where I found two lines had been run, one on the same straight line south to Lake Huron, and the other making an offset into the township of Striker of about five chains, which, after inquiry, I found to be the west boundary of the well-known Algoma Mills Location.
The timber along Lake Huron is generally mixed birch, cedar, hemlock, and pop- lar, the land being rocky and stony. Lots six, seven, eight, and nine, along the northerly part of the first concession and the south part of the second concession, are thickly tim- bered with cedar aud tamarac, suitable for ties, telegraph poles, and pavement timber.
The land being very low and wet would probably make good pasturage if cleared aud drained — soil being a blue clay.
Lots eleven and twelve in the second concession, lots ten, eleven and twelve in the third and fourth concessions, and lots seven, eight and nine in the fifth concession are mostly timbered with heavy maple and birch, the maple being of the " bird's-eye " variety, and possessing no small value as a material for furniture and cabinet -ware ; this part of the township being the only part which is in any way fit for settlement. Though the land is stony, now and then we fiu4 patches of good sandy soil, especially on lots seven, eight and nine in the fifth concession, and from which settlers could ob- tain a way out to the front by means of Lake of the Mountain and Blind River, as it would be nearly impossible to make a road out through the township south of these lots, owing to the numerous bluffs and rocky ridges which occur throughout this part of the township.
The north-east portion of the township I found to be well timbered with pine of excellent quality, varying from one to four feet in diameter and from forty to one hun- dred feet high, with hardly a limb; the timber along the shores of the lakes being pretty well culled by the Murray Lumbering Company.
All north of Lake of the Mountain and most of the sixth concession is very rocky and mountainous — the mountain directly north of Lake of the Mountain being seve- ral hundred feet above the level of the lake, and makes, together with the abrupt shores of the lake and the small island, a very picturesque scene.
Lauzon's Lake cuts up over half of the east half of the township, its coast being very irregular, with high, abrupt rocky ridges along the southerly shore, broken by deep bays and inlets.
The lakes abound with salmon trout, whitefish, bass and pike, their waters being deep and clear.
We saw no traces of deer. Towards the north-east corner of the township we en- countered several large bears, they being pretty numerous there. No other fur-bearing animals were seen except a few beavers on the lake at the north-west corner of the township.
The rock appears to be of the slate rock of the Huronian formation. I saw some indications of copper and iron ore along the south shore of Lauzon's Lake, as shewn on the field notes, specimens of which I enclose herewith.
I commenced the survey about the 18th June, and completed the work on the field about the 11th August.
There being no squatters or improvements in the township, no inspection returns are required.

DISTEICT OF NIPISSING.
Township of Lauder.
Belleville, Ontario,
14th November, 1881.
Sir, — In accordance with instructions, dated 18th May, 1881, 1 proceeded by way of Pembroke and Mattawa, to survey the township of Lauder into farm lots. Having arrived at my starting point, viz., the south-west corner of Papineau, I observed Polaris on its eastern elongation on the morning of 1st July (Azimuth angle 1° 54' 49" ; varia- tion of compass 7° 10' 40" west). I used the line between concessions two ami three as a base line, working westerly, taking repeated observations, carrying along the south boundary and the side-lines as 1 proceeded, after which I worked northerly, finishing the western portion ; I then ran easterly on the proper bearing the hue between conces- sions six and seven, working both ways until the survey was complete.
I am sorry I cannot give as favourable a report of the agricultural capabilities of Lauder as I would wish. There is not over twenty-five per cent, of the townshio arable land, the surface being very much broken, the soil light throughout and very stony. There is a narrow strip of good land in concessions nine and ten, containing about fifteen hundred acres, extending from lot fifteen to lot thirty-one inclusive. The soil is a sandy clay, comparatively free from stones, and very fertile.
Lauder is well watered by numberless small creeks, nearly all of which contain good pure water. The Big Pautois Creek enters the township in concession two, me- andering northerly crossing the north boundary in lot ten. It has a current of from one to three miles per hour. The creek is well improved by Messrs. Hurdman, Lord and Chapman, who have a farm and depot in the township. The principal stream, however, is the Amable du Fond Biver, which enters the township iu lot thirty-five, runs north-westerly, crossing the west boundary in concession two, re-enters the town- ship again in concession four ; from thence runs north-easterly, crossing the north boundary in lot twenty-five. It has an average width of about two chains ; the depth varies from one to fifteen feet; the current is rapid. The principal chutes are the Cas- cades, Old Slide, Chute a Gravelle, and Chute a Bouille. The chutes have all dams and shdes excepting the Cascades, which has a side-dam only. Speckled trout and chub are found in large numbers in this stream, as well as some of the larger lakes.
The principal lakes are Thompson and Crooked Lakes, on the south boundary, and Bronson and Bauson Lakes, in the interior. The shores are generally bold and rocky, and the water good and pure.
Game was plenty, moose and bear especially so.
I found no minerals worthy of notice. A small lead of magnetic iron ore was found on the north side of Thompson Lake, iu lot six, concession one. The vein is about three feet wide aud runs nearly east and west. The rock formation throughout the township is principally gneiss, granite, and sandstone, although veins of quartz and feld- spar were occasionally met with.
The northern, north-eastern, and eastern portions of the township are bride with a heavy undergrowth of poplar, cherry, and birch. The central portion is hardwood mixed with hemlock, balsam and scattered pine. The southern and south-western por- tions are principally pine of an excellent quality and very valuable, although patches of hardwood are numerous.

Residue of Township of Patton.
Toronto, Ontario,
13th December, 1881.
Sir, — Ou or about the 20th May, 1881, I received your instructions bearing date 18th of the same mouth, to proceed to the District of Algoma and survey parts of the townships of Patton and Cobdeu into farm lots.
I immediately had the necessary bond for the due performance of the work exe- cuted, and returned the same to your Department, and during the past summer and autumn have made the said survey, and now have the honour to submit to you here- with field-notes and plans of part of the township of Patton.
On the 5th August I proceeded to execute the work in connection with my survey of the residue of the township of Patton. I commenced my work at the north-east angle of section number twenty-five of that township and retraced the old line westerly along the north boundary of sections twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, etc., plant- ing posts thereon for the front of the third concession, at proper distances.
The several concessions and side-lines, as indicated by red on the projected plan, were surveyed, and durable and substantial posts planted at the fronts of lots. The lines of concessions bounded to the north by water were surveyed and posts planted at the respective distances in the traverse lines for fronts of lots.
The several concessions and side-lines were well opened out and blazed throughout the work.
The west, north and east boundaries of said townships, as surveyed by Provincial Land Surveyor Gilmour, in 1860, were retraced and adhered to, but all posts planted by him that would interfere with my survey were removed and destroyed.
I traversed all waters found within the area of my survey, and tied the same in with concession and side-lines, where crossed by them. The concession lines were run due east and west astronomically, and the side-lines at right angles thereto, or due north and south astronomically.
The numbers of the lots were marked by a proper marking tool on the east and west sides ; and the numbers of the concessions on the north sides of the several posts planted in accordance with instructions.
The land best adapted to agricultural purposes was found in the neighbourhood of Marsh River and Denman Lake.
Indications of minerals were found in several places in this township, but nothing that would indicate an economical value.
No settlers were found within the area of the township.
I completed my survey of this township on the 12th September, and proceeded to complete my survey of the township of Cobden.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

Township of (Jobden.
Toronto, Ontario,
13th December, 1881.
Sir, — On or about the 20th May, 1881, I received your instructions, bearing date 18th of the same month, to proceed to the District of Algorna and survey parts of the townships of Patton and Cobden into farm lots. I immediately had the necessary bond for the due performance of the work executed, and returned the same to your Depart- ment ; and during the past summer and autumn have made the said survey, and now have the honour to submit to you herewith field-notes and plan of the township of Cobden.
On the 5th July the survey of this township was commenced by retracing the east boundary as surveyed by Provincial Land Surveyor Gilmour in 1860 ; but having found the first mile already retraced and post- planted at the intersection of Lake Huron, and at the distance of eighty chains north therefrom, I chained and verified the work already done and then proceeded to run due west astronomically for the front of my second concession, and in a similar manner continued to survey the several concessions and side-lines as indicated by red on the projected plan. I retraced and adhered to the northern boundary of the Indian Eeserve, as already run for the front of my fourth concession, and so continued until I had completed my survey of all that part of Cobden lying east and north of the Indian Eeserve.
On the 5th of August I proceeded to execute the work in connection with my survey of the residue of the township of Patton, and again resumed the work in connection with my survey of Cobden on the 12th September following. I retraced the west limit of Cobden from the north-west angle of the Indian Reserve to Lake Huron. I then ran due east, astronomically, from a point at the distance of two hundred and forty chains south from the front of the fifth concession for the front of my second concession west of the Indian Reserve.
I traversed the Mississaga River from the west boundary of Cobden to the west limit of the mining location at the mouth of that river. I also traversed the shore of Lake Huron from where the west limit of Cobden strikes that lake eastward, and con- nected the work with the west limit of the above-named mining location, the located line of the Ontario Sault Ste. Marie Railway, the west limit of mining location A, at the mouth of Blind River, and the east boundary of the township.
I also surveyed the group of islands at the mouth of the Mississaga River, and con- nected the same with the survey' of the shore of Lake Huron. I cut off two hundred acres from the north end of Fox Island (marked number two on my plan of Cobden) by a line running due east and west, astronomically, and have numbered and given the areas of each island on said plan.
I traversed Blind River on the east side, and connected the same with a post at the north-west angle of mining location A at the mouth of Blind River, and with the survey of the Lake of the Mountain, also with several concessions and side lines surveyed.
I retraced the east, north and west boundaries as surveyed by Provincial Land Survevor Gilmour in 1860 ; adhered to the lines, but destroyed all the old posts planted by him that would interfere with my survey.
I did not lay out any side or concession road allowances in any part of my survey- Posts were planted at the proper points for the fronts of lots in all concessions through, out the work. Where the fronts of concessions were bounded by water, posts were planted at the intersection with the water or traverse lines.
All waters found within the area of my survey were traversed in accordance with my instructions.
The lines surveyed were well opened out and blazed, durable and substantial posts were planted along the lines and properly marked in accordance with instructions.

The areas of Mississaga River, Blind River and the channels between the islands at the mouth of Mississaga River, were not included in the water area of the township of Cobden.
After a careful search I failed to discover the bouudaries of Mining Location con- veyed to E. B. Donnelly at the north-west angle of the township.
Several squatters were found located on portions of this township, as may be seen by the returns in that particular. The land best adapted for agricultural purposes was met with in the neighbourhood of Marsh and Blind Rivers.
Indications of minerals were only met with in the north-west angle of the township.

Township of Mack.
Collingwood, Ontario,
3rd December, 1881.
Sm, — I have the honour, in accordance with instructions dated May 18th, 1881, to submit the following report on the survey of the Township of Mack in the District of Algoma.
Having found on my arrival at the mouth of Blind River that the surveys of both the townships of Long and Striker had been completed, and that I would have little difficulty in reaching the south-east part of my township with canoes, I proceeded up Blind River and across Blind Lake into Lake Magog, where I camped ; aud finding that the south-east corner of Mack was situated in a lake, I commenced the survey (after taking astronomical observations) at the intersection of the side-line between lots two and three of Striker with the south boundary of Mack, and carried on the work north and west, giving the lots along the south boundary as far as the corner between sis and seven the prescribed width of forty chains. I then found it convenient to move my camp to the south-west corner of the township, and from this point I continued the survey north and east, making lots twelve, eleven, ten and nine forty chains wide, but in con- necting with the corner between lots six and seven, as previously located, I found there was an overplus of thirty chains and thirty-two links, which, owing to a considerable part of the township having been already surveyed, I had no alternative but to divide between lots seven and eight, making these two lots wide throughout the township.
This township is unsuited for settlement ; the land fit for agricultural purposes being only in one or two places in sufficient quantity to make it worth the culti- vation. The little soil to be found is generally light and sandy, aud at the best but an inferior quality of sandy loam, while the greater portion of the township is so rugged and broken that the construction of roads would be almost impossible.
I should estimate that little more than five per cent, of the whole township is fit for farming purposes.
The centre and south-eastern portion of the township is extremely rugged and mountainous, bluffs of bare rock frequently rising almost perpendicularly to the height of two or three hundred feet, and then extending back in broad table-lands of granite and gneissoid rock almost devoid of vegetation.
The remaining portion of the township, although not nearly so rough, is still very broken and rocky. The rocky ridges appear to range across the township in an easterly
40
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
and westerly direction as the largest and steepest hills are to be met with on the north and south lines. No indications of the presence of any of the economic minerals were observed except that of magnetic iron as indicated by occasional disturbances of the magnetic needle.
A large part of the centre and southerly portion of the township consists of ridges of rock, sparingly timbered with stunted pine and scrub oak, with belts of small, scrubby pine, white birch and maple between the ridges. The north-westerly portion is covered with balsam, cedar, spruce, hemlock, maple and birch.
In the south-east part of the township, to the east and south of Lake Magog, a fair sample of pine is met with, which seems to extend southerly into the adjoining township of Striker.
During the present season a large portion of the north-easterly part of the township was burnt ever ; in many places leaving the rock entirely bare.
Nearly one-fifth of the area of the township is covered with water. The lakes, being generally surrounded with rocky shores, frequently very precipitous and difficult of ascent, are generally very deep and the water of a superior quality ; especially is this the case with Emerald Lake. Fish, consisting of black bass, pike and pickerel, are numerous in Lakes Heron and Magog, but very scarce in the other lakes.
I may say that I found the variation of the magnetic needle to be on an average 2° 21' W., as shewn by numerous astronomical observations in different parts of the township.

Township of McMahon.
Little Current, Ontario,
April 9th, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to transmit herewith plan, field notes and other returns of the survey of the township of McMahon, performed in accordance with instructions dated at Toronto on May 12th, 1880, and beg to report as follows : —
The field work was all performed during the months of July and August of last year. The Eeturns have been unexpectedly delayed because of the following reasons : On arriving home from the field work I received instructions from the Dominion Gov- ernment to make some surveys in the North- West Territories. Being anxious to occupy the field during summer, I went to the North- West at once, expecting to complete the work there and return before the close of navigation here and get the returns of this township in, in good time. The Dominion work took much more time than was antici- pated, and the consequence was the delay of these returns.
I proceeded to the township by way of Echo Lake and across the township of Chesley Additional. I commenced the survey on the westerly side of the township by producing lines due east from the posts at the intersections of the concession Hues, and easterly town line of Chesley Additional ; from these lines others were run north and south at the distance of one mile apart on the regular lots. It will be observed that lot four is wider than it should be. The error was caused by a miscalculation in distance and not discovering it till a considerable portion of the township easterly had been marked out. It was then thought better to let it remain than to re-survey so large a tract and mark a second system of side lines. The instruments used were the same as used by me during the previous season.
41
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
The timber is composed principally of maple, on the less mountainous parts. On the mountains and steeper slopes hemlock, spruce, balsam, birch, cedar, etc., prevail; no pine of value was seen.
Many lakes occur, some being of considerable area ; all those met with were care- fully triangulated, generally angles or bearings were taken to three established points, and the plotting made with a station pointer. The distances across lakes on lines of survey were all made independently by separate triangulation.
No rivers or streams requiring special notice were met with. The River Thessalon crosses at the south-easterly corner, but is quite small at this distance up.
The Echo River crosses a considerable distance in the north-westerly portion ; this stream has a very rapid current and is full of shoals, unless during floods in the spring it is quite too shallow for even canoeing.
The surface generally is very rough and rocky, in fact being almost inacessible. In places where the mountains are not so high, the surface is a succession of steep and uneven rocks. It is, considering the whole township, the roughest I have surveyed.
Much of the township has been burned over leaving the bare rock exposed. In other places it is covered with a dense second growth of underbrush.
No good mill sites were found.
I do not anticipate much settlement in this township for some time to come.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

Provincial Lund Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pardee,

DISTRICT OF NIPISSING. Base and Exploration Lines.
Hauburton, Ontario,
December 31st, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of survey of " Base and Exploration Lines " in the District of Nipissing, made under instructions from your Department, dated May 31st, 1881 : —
Proceeding to Lake Nipissing via Gravenhurst and Rosseau, across Lake Nipissing by steamer, and up the Sturgeon River by canoes, I reached the north-east angle of the Township of Field, the point of commencement, on the 18th July last, and began the work on the following morning.
I had with me two explorers — Mr. William Galbraith, a student of my own during the past four years, and Mr. W. O. Johnston, P.L.S. — whose duty it was to explore the country for six miles upon each side of me ; two chain men and eight other assistants.
Having obtained the necessary observations, I commenced at the north-east angle of Field, and ran north, astronomically, six miles between townships two and three, as per instructions.
From this point, after having run east ten miles and north seven miles, I ran west twenty-five miles and twenty-seven chains, making township number three seven miles and twenty-seven chains in width to correspond with north boundary of Field, and the other three townships six miles each, planting posts six inches square at the coiners of the townships with the numbers marked thereon, and well protected by stones piled around them.
42
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
From this point I ran north twelve miles along the west boundaries of townships twenty-five and twenty-sis, and thence east, crossing the south bay of Lake Tarnagamin- que sixty miles to the Ottawa River, or as it is called at this point, Lake Temiscaminque, planting posts at the corners of townships as before described, and running south to the seven mile point between townships four and live.
In carrying out the exploration, I found it impossible to lay down any particular method by which the work should be done. The result of the explorers' observations will be found upon the plan ; the dotted lines in red indicating where they travelled, and where no lines shown the route was by water, with canoes, making short trips inland, and observations from hill tops, etc., whence the country could often be seen for miles. Sturgeon and Tamagaminque Rivers, and the adjacent lakes, were traversed in this way, and nearly all that part of Lake Tamagaminque south of the Hudson's Bay Company's post, was traversed with the micrometer by Mr. Galbraith, while I was proceeding with the line.
Lake Tamagaminque is therefore pretty accurately laid down as far north as the Hudson's Bay post, or the 47th parallel of latitude, and had time and weather permitted, the survey of the northern part would have been completed also.
The northern portion of lake, as shewn on the plan, is from an Indian sketch, and judging from the accurate idea he gave us of the south part of the lake, I have no doubt the northern part is generally correct.
After completing the east bay of Lake Tamagaminque, Mr. Galbraith crossed the portage into the Matebedguan waters, and proceeded via Rabbit Lake and the Matebed- guan River to Lake Temiscaminque at the mouth of Montreal River, and thence down Lake Temiscaminque to our northerly base line, taking in the different waters and notes of the country on his way, and joining the main party shortly before reaching the Ottawa.
The latitude of the northerly base line was found to be 46° 19' 27" north. Obser- vations were frequently taken during the progress of the work, and the lines were run throughout their whole length with the theodolite, well cut out and well blazed.
Commencing at the north-east angle of Field, and going north between townships two on the ea^t and three on the west, the country is undulating with rocky ridges and occasional swamps. About the end of the first mile we crossed a rocky ridge over one hundred feet high, from which a good view of the country to the north was obtained ; the general appearance from this point was a vast flat of evergreen — tall spruces, balsam and pine, with white birch, poplar, etc. No hardwood proper to be seen.
At about three miles we entered a bride grown up with brush, which continues into the sixth mile. There is some excellent clay soil along the line on the fourth and fifth mile. At six miles we turned and ran east ten miles through a section of country almost level. The land on either side of the line being the best in the entire survey ; considerable maple along this line, and good scattering pine.
Returning to the six-mile point, we ran seven miles north through a poor tract of country made up of rocky ridges and swamps, crossing a number of beaver meadows and creeks ; the timber being chiefly birch, balsam and tamarac, with an occasional pine.
Again returning to the six-mile point, we ran west between townships three and four ; the first mile and a half being through comparatively good land ; then we crossed a tract of burnt country two miles in width, that extends both north and south for a considerable distance. From this point during the next eight or nine miles to the Tamagaminque River we passed through the best tract of pine timber embraced in the survey. The growth is large and the quality excellent ; a large quantity of good pine also exists between Tamagaminque River and the Sturgeon River, and west of the Sturgeon River as far as townships twenty-four and twenty-five.
Tamagaminque River is where the line crosses, two chains in width, and about three feet deep, with swift current and clear bright water. Sturgeon River, one hundred and eighty-five feet in width, ten to twelve feet deep, with slow current and dark waters. The land in the vicinity of the Sturgeon is of a clayey nature, intermixed with sand.
Entering townships twenty-four and twenty-five, we came upon the first damage done by fire this year. It originated from a camp fire at a portage a few miles up the
43
45 Victoria Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
Sturgeon, in May last, and took a south-east course, sweeping everything before it for ten miles in length and two miles in width, and destroying a considerable quantity of good pine in townships twer.ty-five, twenty-four and sixteen.
From this point to the end of the twenty five mile line, where we turned to the north, our course lay through a brule, and from the turning point, which is one of con- siderable elevation, there is nothing but brule to be seen as far as the eye can reach. The fire swept over this section of country about six or eight years ago, leaving nothing but blackened pine stubs standing, and the rock in many places exposed for two hundred square miles ; nearly the whole of townships twenty-four, twenty-five, thirty-two, thirty- three and thirty-four, and still farther south and west towards Lake Waimapitaeping, coming within its range. Over this tract of country a thick growth of white bircb, poplar, pitch pine, etc , has now sprung up, making it difficult to get through in many places.
Running north aloDgthe west line we crossed Lake Mas-ko-now-ti-wo-go-rning, and a bay of Lake Ah-pe-ge-ke-che-ging (there is no water above this), two of a chain of lakes drained by the west branch of the Sturgeon Eiver. We left the burnt country at eleven miles, but the land is still rough and rocky, covered with scrubby pine, balsam, birch, poplar, etc., to the end of the twelve-mile line, where we turned east sixty miles to the Ottawa River.
As we crossed the Sturgeon River on the second mile (over one hundred feet wide at this point), we struck a little more good land, but in another mile we were again among hills and rocks, with a good deal of fair pine. Descending a hill of two hundred and fifty feet on the fourth mile we ran through a flat of about a mile in extent, the soil, however, sandy and stony, and timber, balsam, birch, spruce, etc.
On the filth mile we crossed the chain of lakes leading to Lake Tamagaminque, and again descending a hill two hundred feet in height, we ran across a succession of high hills and valleys clad with pine, until we neared the corners of townships twerty- six and eighteen. Crossing township eighteen, or from mile six to twelve, the country is rough and rocky, with numerous spruce and tamarac swamps, the timber being chiefly pitch pine, birch, balsam, poplar, etc. From the tenth mile the country increases in roughness, it being almost all rock until we struck the south bay at Lake Tamagaminque near the close of the thirteenth mile. The width of the bay is about half a mile where the line strikes it, and as we ascended the hill on the east side thereof, we struck a piece of good land covered with maple, iron wood, birch, etc. "We now ran through a com- paratively good tract of country, with considerable maple timber extending across the whole of township number ten.
Entering upon mile nineteen, or township number five, we again hit upon a brule running almost to the Tamagaminque River, or end of twenty-first mile.
Near the Tamagaminque River we came upon some very good pine, extending both up and down the river.
Crossing the Tamagaminque we ran through a fair amount of hardwood land, although rough, till we reach the eastern boundary of township number five, where we ran south along the east boundary of some five miles to make the connection with the seven-mile point before described. The land along these five miles is broken and rocky in places. Timber — white birch, poplar, spruce, tamarac, and some pine.
Returning to the north-east angle of township number five, we continued east on twenty-sixth mile. Along township number four the land is rather rough and rocky. Although the soil is good in places, the timber is chiefly birch, cedar, balsam, etc.
On the thirtieth mile we crossed the height of land between the Tamagaminque and the Ottawa River, after which the country is comparatively level, with fair soil in mrny places, to about the centre of township twenty-one; the timber on the last described tract is chiefly white birch, spruce, balsam, poplar and small pine.
From the centre of township twenty-one, the land grows gradually rougher. As the Ottawa is approached, the last six miles is through brule ; timber nearly all dead, and extending north to McLaren's Depot, and ten miles south. The three miles of the line next the Ottawa is through a very broken country, timber all gone, and the bare rock exposed in all directions, and lying in confused heaps, without a sign of vegetation to be seen.
44
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
Amidst this desolation we descended a hill of about six hundred feet, through a fringe of undt rbrush to the Ottawa River and the end of the sixty-mile line.
Throughout the whole of the territory explored there is some good clay soil, along the flats of riv rs and creeks ; generally, however, it is a sandy loam, and in many places sand, and a large area of the country is stony and rocky.
Township two contains, I think, more good land than any other township explored, probably fifty per cent, of it being fit for settlement.
Generally speaking, the explored territory is a lumbering country rather than an agricultural country, there being more cr less pine scattered over the entire area.
Townships two, three and four cast of the line from Field, and three, four, five, eight, nine, ten, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and twenty-six, are chiefly valuable for the pine that is on them, and of these, three, four, five, eight and nine west of the north line from Field are the most valuable; along the line between townships three and four, and on eight and nine there is some of the finest pine timber I ever saw. The Sturgeon River and its tributaries afford ample means of getting the timber to market.
A large area is covered with white birch, poplar, spruce, balsam, etc., considerable yellow birch with a few black birch is met with, but there is very little maple and no beech in the country — a large amount of tamarac, suitable for ties, and in some places very good cedar is to be found.
The country may be said to be well- watered.
The Sturgeon River is a fine stream about one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet in width, and from ten to twenty feet in depth, with steady cuirent and rapids at intervals. The banks are about fifteen feet high, generally sand with substrata of clay. It is a fine stream for driving ; urposes.
Lake Tamagaminque is a fine sheet of very clear water filled with islands, as will be seen from plan— the shores are not particularly high nor are they very low — the scenery is beautiful and may be compared to that of the Thousand Islands. The lake has two outlets, one flowing south into the Sturgeon River and the other flowing north into the Montreal River, and thence into the Ottawa. The Hudson's Bay Company have a post on Bear Island, and it is surrounded by sixteen Indian families. The lake abounds with fish, the salmon trout being very fine.
Tamagaminque River, the southerly outlet of the lake, is a fine stream over one hundred and twenty feet in width, flowing with a rapid current, and numerous falls into the Sturgeon River. Many lakes of various sizes are dotted at intervals over the country, as will be seen from plan. Otter Tail Creek, falling into the Ottawa, is the principal stream met with in the eastern part of the survey.
The general character of the country is undulating, but not very broken. Here and there are exposed cliffs of considerable height and very often large areas of exposed flat rock. The formation is granite -and similar to all the north-country rock.
Indications of iron were met with occasionally, but nothing of importance was discovered.
July was comfortable, with cool nights. August, particularly the latter part, was very hot. September was rather wet, but no frost took place till the 6th of October. Snow fell on the 17th of October to the depth of four inches and lay for three days, after which we had fine weather till the close ot the work.
I saw a fine crop of oats being harvested on Sturgeon River, near Lake Nipissing, on the 10th September, that had been sown on the 1st of June. I saw good potatoes grown at Sturgeon Falls, and they are also grown at the Hudson's Bay Post on Lake Tama- gaminque. This lake freezes over about December and opens in May.
At McLaren's farm (Opemican Farm) on the Ottawa, about three miles north of our sixty-mile line, which I visited on the 28th October, splendid crops of hay, oats and potatoes are grown, and carrots, turnips, and garden stuff generally, grows well. The season opens second week of May ; ploughing continued last year to the 25th of October.
Had I not seen this farm, I would not have believed it possible that such a good farm could have been found so far north; two hundred and sixty acres cleared, and one hundred acres of it free from stumps or stone. Good buildings and stocked with far better cattle than are to be found in many places in Southern Ontario.

Moose are very plentiful, were often seen, and two were shot. Bears were fre- quently seen ; beaver and other fur-bearing animals are common. Partridges and ducks are abundant, and nearly all the lakes abound with fish — bass, pickerel and pike being the most common, while salmon trout were only found in Lake Tamagaminque.
It being late in the season (5th of November) when I reached the Ottawa, an 1 being out of provisions, I did not deem it advisable to prosecute the work further, but returned home via Mattawa ; consequently the south-east portion of the work given me his not been done.
In conclusion, I have only to say, that during the latter part of July and the month of August we were at times delayed by smoke, and suffered very much for want of water ; frequently we could scarcely see, and we had often to carry water along the line for long distances ; while in the month of September we were delayed considerably by heavy rains ; there being, too, so much brush in the country, I found it very difficult to make fast running, and I had some trouble with some of my men leaving (two of them Indians), necessitating a trip to Nipissing for others.
Accompanying this report, I beg to submit plan, field-notes, diary, pay-list, and transport vouchers and accounts, as directed in the instructions.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. Niven. Provincial Land Surveyor. The Honourable T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands, Toronto.

APPENDIX No. 36.
REPORT
ON
COLONIZATION ROAD WORKS,
FOR THE YEAR 1881.
To the Honourable T. B. Pardee,
Commissioner of Crown Lands,
Ontario.
SlE, — I have the honour again to report the operations of the colonization roads branch of your department, for the year 1881.
Having travelled over a large number of the works during the spring and past sum- mer for the purpose of inspection, I am enabled to say, from personal observation, that the expenditure of money upon the sundry roads and bridges has been, as a rule, fairly and judiciously made; and, as a result, the roads referred to hereafter in detail, are very much improved, and in some cases these improvements are of such a permanent description, that, with that attention to them as regards maintenance which is required, and is abso- lutely essential in any such work however well performed, some of the roads and portions of others may be classed as first-rate country highways.
I beg also to report that, under your instructions, I made a personal examination of a number of roads and bridges, which had been reported to you, by telegram or otherwise, as seriously damaged by the bush fires, so prevalent during the dry season, and, as ordered, I caused such repairs or renewals to be made upon them as appeared absolutely necessary, in order to restore in some degree their usefulness to the settlers, as also to give employment to those living in the vicinity of the works, many of whom suffered in addi- tion, the loss of barns, dwellings, fences and crops, while I am gratified to say that cases of entire destitution were not numerous along the roads so damaged. These repairs were made with the greatest possible despatch, and those living upon the confines of the roads have expressed satisfaction and gratitude to the Government for its prompt action.
The outlay on account of the above-mentioned fires has caused an expenditure exceeding the Government appropriation for roads, as is shewn in the summary of expen- diture attached to this report, but as before stated, the disbursement became unavoidable when considering the interests of the people. The following is a recital of the various works, namely: —
NORTH DIVISION. 1. Batchewaning Road.
The present terminus of this work is li miles due south of the north-easterly corner of the bay of the same name. The work performed this year was 3| miles of new work and repairs over 9 miles of the road formerly made. As reported in 1878 this work is being done mutually with the Indian department. Departmental expenditure, $1,170.70.
50
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4.) A. 1882
2. Coffin Road.
Work was commenced on the line between lots 1 and 2 in the 3rd concession and ter- minated at the eastern boundary of the township of Coffin, a distance of about 4 miles. Included in the expenditure is the bridging over a branch of the Thessalon River, with a structure 148 feet in length, having a centre span of 30 feet. Expenditure, $815.77.
3. Coffin Additional Road.
Three and a half miles were in this instance completed, namely from lot 10 conces- sion 5 of Plummer, northerly to the line between lots 10 and 11, about the centre of the 2nd concession of "Coffin Additional " Township. Expenditure, $630.32.
4. " D " Line Road (St. Joseph's Island).
This work was for the purpose of opening a highway to the town plot of St. Joseph, a point rising in importance. Some 2i miles were made with the appropriation, and the " D " line road is now opened from Centre Road westerly to the above named town plot. Expenditure, §783.61.
5. Ecuo River Bridge.
This bridge, which spans the Echo River on the Great Northern Road, replaces one constructed upon the same site, some twenty years ago, at a cost of $1,750. Its length is 206 feet, comprised mainly of two clear spans of 60 feet 9 inches and 41 feet 10 inches, respectively, and the balance of approaches at each end of 35 feet. The design is Queen post, and will be found an excellent bridge in all respects. Expenditure, $1,178.31.
6. Gore Bay Road (Manitoulin Island)
Is through the townships of Gordon and Campbell, and between Gore and Providence Bays.
The repairs of this season Lave very much improved the road, and is thus a great benefit to those settled in Campbell, Carnarvon and other townships.
Four miles were wrought over. Expenditure, $637.
7. Galbraith Road.
Six miles of this road were made through the township of Rose.
The work was begun upon the line between sections 18 and 19, and made easterly 4 miles and thence northerly 2 miles. Expenditure, $1,177.20.
8. Kaministiquia and Murillo Road,
In the Thunder Bay district, reaches from Fort William to Murillo station, on the Canada Pacific Railway. It has been repaired over 8£ miles of its length, 4 miles of which being deviations from the old road, may be classed as new work. Expenditure, $1,055.
9. Kakabeka Road.
This road is fully described in the report of 1877. It extends from the Dawson Road to Kakabeka Falls. The repairs this year were very much required; in fact, so many changes were made from the old location, that of the 6 miles worked upon 4 may be said to be new work. Expenditure, $1,245.
51
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
10. Lake Wolsey Road (Manitoulin Island)
Strikes off from the Gore Bay Road about two miles from the bay and runs southerly into Mills township. It is new work. Four miles opened this year. Expenditure, $649. 20.
11. Little Current and West Bay Road
Is in the township of Howland, Manitoulin Island. The expenditure here was chiefly for the reduction in gradient of a very heavy hill. Expenditure, $100.
12. Manitou and Green Bay Road.
The portion of this road repaired, -14 miles, was in the township of Bidwell. The road is now in very fair condition between the village of Manitouaning and the Little Current and West Bay Road, which the former road intersects. Expenditure, $566.50.
13. Manitouaning and Ten Mile Point Road.
This road starts from the Manitouaning and Like Manitou Road and runs northerly through the township of Shequiandah in almost a direct line towards Ten Mile Point. Six and a quarter miles were made this season, new. Expenditure, $505.
1-1. Michael's Bay Road,
Which lies between Michael's and Providence Bay, passing through the townships of Tehkummah and Carnarvon, has been logged, ditched and otherwise improved over 8 miles of its length. Expenditure, $552.60.
15. Manitou River Bridge
Is a structure 115 feet long, with a centre span of 30 feet. It is upon the Manitouaning and Michael's Bay, and is cheap at its cost, $382.04.
16. Mudge Bay Road.
This and the five last described works are on the Manitoulin Island. The Mudge Bay road runs southerly in the township of Campbell, to intersect the Providence Bay road. Three and a half miles of new work. Expenditure, $520.
17. Oliver Road.
One of the Thunder Bay District roads, has its course westerly from Prince Arthur's Landing, through the township of Mclntyre to the town line between Oliver and Mclntyre, and between the first and second concessions of Oliver ; thence it runs northerly along the town line named.
Two and a half miles were made new this year and 10J repaired, and the road is now reported as being in first-class condition. Expenditure, $2,199.46.
18. Pigeon River Road.
This is a road as yet very little used, but a mail being carried over it, it became neces- sary to clear it of fallen trees, logs, etc., which had practically closed it up. The road is from the Kaminstiquia River, near Fort William, to Pigeon Bay, and was cleared in a degree through its whole length of 34 miles, though it is yet in a very unfinished condition. Expenditure, $300.
52
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
19. Port Finlay Road.
The opening up of the portion made this year was begun upon the town line between Laird and Tarbutt, on lot 33, and a few chains from lot lettered P, and from thence westerly to the line between lots 32 and 33 ; thence northerly along or near the due north lint- to the north-west angle of lpt 28 ; thence east along due east line about 30 rods, and from thence about due north a little over three-quarters of a mile, giving a total length of 2| miles made this year.
Through a delay in obtaining the promised grant of $500 from the Indian depart- ment, to aid in this work, only that appropriated by the Ontario Government was expended, but the money has since been placed at the disposal of this department and will probably be used next season. Expenditure, $551.43.
20. Providence Bay Road.
This road, which is on the Manitoulin Island, runs from the Bay of the same name easterly to unite with other leading roads.
Eight miles have been repaired and very much bettered in condition. Expenditure, 8659.70.
21. Sandfield Bay Road,
Begins on the Manitouaning and Michael's Bay Road and ends at Sandtield Mills, upon the outlet of Lake Manitou, its course being north-westerly.
The work of tnis year was entirely new and of a heavy description, and therefore the distance accomplished — 5i miles — -is very satisfactory. Expenditure, $1,007.75.
22. Thessalon Bridge.
This bridge is over the Thessalon River, on the Coffin Additional Road made this season.
It is 150 feet long, resting upon piles of a very substantial character, and having a main span or opening of 30 feet. Cost, $525.
WEST DIVISION. 1. Buck Lake Bridge.
This bridge spans the outlet of Buck Lake, and is upon lot 26 of the 14th concession of the township of Stisted. The building of this and the opening of " Cardwell Extension Road," hereafter described, gives an outlet for a number of excellent settlers, who, pre- viously, were without a roadway.
The bridge is a 50 feet truss and 200 feet in length.
Through the kindness of Mr. Garratt, in supplying timber and lumber for the structure, at cost price, the bridge was built very cheaply. Cost, $604.87.
2. Beaver Lake Bridge
Was built to replace one upon the same site destroyed by fire, in consequence of which all communication was cut off between Kearney and the Sand Lake settlement.
The bridge is on the Kearney Road, upon lot 4 in concession 14 of Bethune ; its total length is 239 feet, and is reported as being well and substantially framed. Cost, $446.07.
3. CoMiMANDA Road
Branches from Rosseau Road, near Commanda Creek, and is made northerly. It now terminates in the 1st concession of Patterson, on lot 32, a distance of 6 miles, of which l.V,7, miles were made this year. Expenditure, 8530. 5 53
45 Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1882
4. Christie Road.
These repairs were made over 4i miles of road, namely between the 9th and 14th concessions of Christie township.
It is not the Christie Road proper, but what is known as Junction No. 2 Road in Christie. Expenditure, $513.05.
5. Cardwell Road.
From lot 1 concession 12 of Cardwell, on its course northerly for about 5 miles, this road was repaired, and from thence 2{ miles were made in the same direction. Repairs were also made upon it between Axe Lake and the Stisted Road, a distance of 4 miles, making a total of 9 miles of repairs and 2^ of new work. Expenditure, 81,029.18.
G. Cardwell Extension Road.
The production of this road to intersect the Port Vernon Road was very much required by those adjacent the line. The distance was 4 miles, dating from the Stisted road to lot 5 of Stisted township. Buck Lake bridge, before described, is upon this Road. Expenditure, 8717.95.
7. Dalton and Washago Road.
It having been reported through the Post Office Department at Ottawa that a cer- tain portion of this road was very much out of repair and unsafe and dangerous to travellers by stage, repairs were made under your instructions of the portion in question which are reported as very satisfactory. Expenditure, 8175.73.
8. Eagle Lake Road.
The expenditure upon this road was for repairs, over 6 miles of its length. It runs from the Rosseau Road easterly into Machar township. Expenditure, 8500.
9. Curd Road.
This road has been produced this year 3i miles further in Himsworth. Expenditure, 81,050.45.
10. Indian Peninsula Road.
As its name indicates, this highway is through the Indian Peninsula, through the townships of Estnor and Lindsay.
The work this season was commenced on lot 15, con. 4, E. B. R. of Lindsay, and ended on lot 30 in the same concession, in all about 4 miles of new work.
In this as in many other instances the bush tires did much damage, causing somewhat of an over-expenditure. Outlay, $1,100.
11. Lorrimer Lake Road.
Commencing at a point on the North Road, about 9 miles north of Parry Sound, this road runs through the township of Ferguson, touching the west end of Lorrimer Lake.
The labour this season was its production from Lorrimer Lake to its present terminus, about lot 5, concession 4, of Hagerman, a distance of 4i miles. Some repairs were also made upon the former portions of the road. Bush tires did a considerable amount of damage during the progress of the work, causing additional outlay and preventing a greater length of work being accomplished. Expenditure, $1,580.09.
54
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4.) A. 1882
12. Matchedash Road,
Through the township of the same name, was opened 3| miles, and three-quarters of a mile chopped and logged. The work is between 2nd and 5th concessions on lots 5 and 6. Expenditure, $767.23.
13. Macaulay Road.
The repairs, over 4 miles, were very well made in this case by the overseer. Unfor- tunately, however, the bush tires destroyed an approach to what is known as " Devil's Gap " after the work was finished, which caused an additional outlay. Expenditure, 81,152.58.
14. Macaulay Road South.
This outlay was entirely in consequence of its destruction by fire of about 4 miles, which made the road completely impassable.
Along this section of country several persons suffered severe losses. The repairs were made as promptly as possible. Outlay, $516.18.
15. Muskoka Road.

29. ROSSEAU AND NlPISSING ROAD.
This, as in the case of several of the main roads, was repaired in two sections, the first being between Rosseau and Spence, some 28 miles, and the second from two miles north of Commanda to Nipissing village, 9 miles.
This latter section was much in need of the repairs made upon it, and it was also found that the amount set apart for the work was insufficient to enable the overseer to reach the village of Nipissing. An additional sum of about $900 was allowed, and the result has been very satisfactory.
As one instance of the value of these repairs, I may mention that freight rates to the end of the road were reduced 25c. to 50c per 100 lbs.

The difficulty in procuring good sound timber made this bridge somewhat more expensive than the average cost of all others built during the season, while its cost, $716.32, is by no means excessive.
31. Stisted Road.
Repairs here were made between the Card well Road and the Perry and Monteith Road, about 15 miles.

33. Savage Settlement Road.
One and three-quarter miles were made of this road, from Kearney southerly to lot 30, between concessions 8 and 9 of Perry; jogging thence 10 chains west; and from thence again southerly to lot 27, concession 7.
In addition to this work, a bridge destroyed by fire was rebuilt. Cost, $695.65.
34. Stony Creek Bridge
Crosses the creek on the line of the Maganetawan Road. It is 112 feet long with a centre span of 40 feet, and is said to be an excellent structure. Cost, $542.12.
35. Stony Lake Bridge.

Proceedings during the year 1SS0.
1. Legislation.
Certain amendments to the Public Schools Act were made in the Session of 18S0 by Act 43 Vic, Chap. 32, the principal of which were : —
1. An option to rural school trustees of opening such schools on the 3rd instead of the 18th August, as the end of the summer vacation.
2. Non-resident pupils, whose parents do not pay the average school rate paid by the resident parents, are required to pay a fee not exceeding fifty cents for each pupil for every calendar month.
3. Every union school section or division is to be considered as within the munici- pality in which the school-house is situate for all school purposes ; and in case of there being two or more school-houses, in the municipality with the largest amount of assessed property. The school rates of the union or school division are to be collected by the collector of each municipality for its proportionate amount of the trustees' yearly requisi- tion made to the clerk of the municipality in which the school is deemed to be situate, upon an equalized basis of assessment ; such may be mutually agreed upon between the councils of the respective municipalities, failing which it is to be settled by the reference constituted as therein mentioned ; the expenses of which are payable out of the school moneys of the union. Such equalization is to continue in force for the period of five years, unless any Municipal Council shall, before the first day of August in any year, require another reference for such purpose. There are provisions for giving effect to this equalization, and for the collection by the several municipalities of the several amounts payable by each part of the union sufficient to meet the trustees' yearly requisition, and
12
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
the payment by their respective collectors to the treasurer of the municipality in which the union is deemed to be.
4. The annual assessment roll shall contain, in a separate column, the number of children between the ages of five and sixteen years resident with each person on the assessment roll, and the municipal clerk is, on or before the first day of January in each year, required to furnish the secretary-treasurer of each school section with a statement of the total number of children in the section, and also to furnish the Public School Inspector with a statement of the total number in the township.
5. All expenses attending the assessment, collection or payment of school rates shall be payable by the municipality ; and the rates shall be paid over to the trustees without any deduction, and not later than the twentieth day of December. This applies to all public school rates, and also to separate school trustees, when they direct the municipal clerk to this effect.
6. Proper books of account are required to be kept of all school moneys, according to forms prepared by the Minister of Education.
7. Expenditure for school furniture, ordinary repairs, and the like, does not require the sanction of the Municipal Council or ratepayers.
8. Where part of a township is, for school purposes, within an adjoining village or town, the council of the township can withdraw such part by by-law passed before the first day of October in any year, taking effect on the first clay of January following, and any disagreement is to be settled by the usual reference.
9. The power of confirming by-laws for the formation, alteration or dissolution of school sections and unions has been entrusted to the Minister, and upon such confirma- tion the by-laws become absolutely legal and valid.
10. In any school matter or enquiry the Minister may obtain a writ of subpoena for the attendance of witnesses and their examination upon oath.

1.

2. Such Committee shall consist of a Chairman and six other members appointed by the Education Department. The Chairman shall hold office during pleasure, and the other members for the period of three years respectively, two of such Examiners retiring in rotation on the first day of January in each year ; and for establishing such system of rotation of the members of such Committee, two shall be now appointed for three years, two for two years, and two for one year. Any retiring Examiner shall not be eligible to be re-appointed until after an interval of at least one year from the expiry of his former appointment.

The questions shall be governed by such a standard as will elicit the possession by the candidate of fair average knowledge in each subject, having regard to the objects of each examination. The questions on each subject are to be framed by the Examiners solely to ascertain whether the candidate has acquired a knowledge of each subject, and so is qualified or not for the Upper School in the case of the High School Intermediate Examination, or for non-professional standing as a Public School Teacher of the Third, Second, or First Class, as the case may be. It is not intended that at any of the examinations comparative merits of individual candidates amongst themselves should be ascertained.

Since the appointment of the Minister, on the 14th day of February, 1876, a record has been kept to the present time of all acts transacted under his personal administration, and especially such as involved opinions and directions upon questions arising under the law and regulations, from Municipal and School Corporations and officials, Inspectors, ratepayers, and others concerned.
The subjects involved, come under the following heads :
1. School Meetings and Elections in Rural Sections.
2. Powers and Duties of Township Boards and Rural Trustees, with respect to school accommodation and property ; and also as to the general management of school affairs.
3. Settlement of Boundaries.
4. Union School Divisions.
5. Public School Assessments — Debentures — Collections.
6. Cities, Towns and Villages.
7. Public School Inspectors and Examiners.
8. Public School Teachers and their Certificates.
9. Separate School Questions.
10. High School Questions.
11. Miscellaneous Questions.
The number of cases decided, as recorded in the several years (inclusive of 1880), was as follows :
1876 — Six hundred and eighty-six. 1877 — Six hundred and four. 1878 — Seven hundred and eighty-three. 1879 — Eleven hundred and sixty-nine.
1880 — Three thousand five hundred and forty — ten hundred and thirty of these being by the Minister directly.
Such decisions as are of general interest, and still applicable, have been collected, and will, with those in 1881, form part of the Supplementary Compendium.

■'>. Commissions of Inquiry.
Instructions were issued to H. R. Bigg, Esq., Public School Inspector, No. 1 Leeds, to investigate a charge against Paul Kingston, alias P. C. Kingston, of falsifying a certi- ficate, 29th September, 1880, and personating another candidate named Paul Kingston. The certificate was cancelled, and Mr. Kingston deprived of the right of presenting him- self at any examination in future.

Reports or Inspectors.
Report of James A. McLellan, Esq., LL.D.
Instead of presenting a lengthy report for 1S80, on the condition of the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes, I propose to refer to certain points which in my opinion require present consideration.
[a) The Entrance Examination.
1. Has the time come when something more may be fairly demanded at the Entrance Examination? This Examination fixes the point at which the High School course begins; but more, it determines the superior limit for our Public School work. I think it may be pertinently asked whether children are to be obliged to enter the High Schools in order to learn " simple interest '
2. Is it wise to have the control of these Examinations so largely in the hands of masters of High Schools 1 There are evidences of a disposition to lower the standard of examination, to the manifest injury of the Public Schools. This is perhaps due in some measure to the fact next stated.
3. Too large a money grant is made to depend on this Examination. The amount paid per unit of average attendance in the Lower School, proves a temptation to laxity in the examination for entrance into the High Schools. The old and evil tendency to deplete the Public School for the benefit of the High School is decidedly reviving.
(b) The Intermediate Examination.
1. The effect of this Examination has on the whole been highly beneficial.
2. Any evil tendencies that have appeared are not a necessary outcome of the Exam- ination, but are due to causes which may be entirely removed.
3. Amongst the evils referred to is the attempt on the part of many candidates for the teaching profession to prepare in a fen: months for the Intermediate Examination. This evil is fostered by those who have been accustomed to proclaim their success in the work of "rapid preparation," and to raise an outcry about the "difficulty of the Examin- ation papers," when their promises largely fail to be verified.
20
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
4. But as there is no " royal road " to learning, so there is no patent process for the instantaneous production of teachers. Time is a necessary element in producing culture. The Intermediate Examination was established on this condition ; it represents at least two years' study from the time of passing the Entrance Examination.
5. It would seem necessary therefore to take steps to compel candidates for the teacher's profession to devote a reasonable amount of time to preparation for their work, rather than to lower the standard of examination to the needs of illiteracy.
6. Would it not then be well in the Intermediate Examination to make a distinction between those, on the one hand, who are merely examined for promotion to the Upper School with a view to continuing their studies ; and those, on the other hand, who are examined with a view (in most cases) to terminate their studies by an examination which is to give them a life-long right to teach in the schools of the country 1
(c) T/te Collegiate Institute Test.
1. The Latin test is not satisfactory. A great many pupils to whom it is quite unsuitable are obliged to take this course in the interests of the schools.
2. The curriculum ought to be so modified as to give a greater prominence to Science, especially to Botany and Chemistry, and their application in agriculture.
3. Some of the Institutes are in receipt of a large extra money-grant, though they are on the whole inferior to many of the High Schools.
4. Should not the conditions necessary for an Institute be modified so as to include amongst other things a thoroughly competent staff of teachers, not only competent in scholarship, but by professional training and large experience 1 and
5. All the necessary appliances for the proper teaching of Science ; and the actual teaching of Science according to the most approved methods 1
(d) Distribution of the Government Grant. The mode of distribution is hardly satisfactory.
1. Is not the minimum grant too large, so that schools which do little or nothing for themselves are rewarded at the expense of more worthy schools 2
2. The amount given on mere average attendance is too great. The effect of this has already been referred to. There should, I think, either be no grant under this head, or the grant should be strictly limited to one dollar (annually) per unit of average attendance.
3. Under the present arrangement a great many good schools (quite as good as a majority of the Collegiate Institutes) get no substantial acknowledgment for their eKcellent work. The principle of payment for results is in fact ignored.
4. The amount depending on the Intermediate Examination is now too small. The "Intermediate" is our most important examination; its results, on the average, are a good test of the efficiency of the schools. If the principle of payment on results is to be retained, the money-payment for the results of the Intermediate Examination should be determined by the real importance of the examination. As matters now stand, a school that has secured an " Entrant " is about as well off as one that prepares an "Intermediate." The present tendency is to make the law regarding payment on results a dead letter. There ought to be a payment of $8 or $10 (annually) per unit of average attendance in the Upper School.
(«) Teaching. In some of the schools the teaching, on the whole, is very good; in others
very bad.
1. In Mathematics there is a good deal of excellent teaching; but in many schools there is room and great need for improvement ; in fact first-rate Mathematical teachers are comparatively rare.
21
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. o). A. 1882
2. Rarer still are good Science teachers. The inductive method is not generally fol- lowed. There is much teaching of " dead vocables," not much of that rational teaching which puts the pupil in full possession of valuable knowledge, and gives at the same time an intellectual discipline of a high order.
3. In many schools the " English Language and English Literature" are well taught; but in perhaps a greater number they are not well taught. Not sufficient attention is paid to reading and elocution. Too much is made of mere routine in grammar ; the chief end of school life is to learn to analyse, if we may judge from the prevailing idolatry of "Grammatical Analysis."
4. In a word, though there are many excellent teachers to be found in all the depart- ments of the High School course, there are also many who from lack of scholarship or lack of training, or from both defects, are unable to do work of a really high character.
(/} Qualifications of Teachers.
1. The time has, therefore, come when provision should be made for supplying thoroughly qualified teachers for the various departments of study in our High Schools.
2. The possession of a degree (M.A. or B.A.) is not alone sufficient. There may be scholarship, but not ability to impart knowledge, much less to educate.
3. In order to secure the best results in Secondary Education, High School teachers of every grade should receive professional training.
4. This is especially the case in our system, because the High School teachers are now educating the teachers of our Public Schools. The teachers therefore who teach our teachers must themselves be good teachers, or those whom they turn out of their hands will be bad teachers ; and this in spite of the training in methods (necessarily brief) which can be given in our Model and Normal Schools. If therefore our present economical mode of providing trained teachers — wise and effective also it will prove under proper conditions — is to be a real success, our High School teachers must be educators as well as scholars, and to secure this they must be trained professionally.
5. I consider this imperative, as it is essential to a high degree of efficiency in the practical working of our system of education. There should be found, and found at once, a, practical solution of the problem, How shall our High School teachers be properly trained for their profession?
Report of S. A. Marling, Esq., M.A.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit a few general observations on the condition of the High Schools, suggested mainly by my visits to those situated in the eastern and central •districts of the Province, during the year 1880. I venture also to add some recom- mendations.
1. The state of things remains much the same as at the time of my last Annual Report, in regard to the subjects therein discussed, and the suggestions made, and I have but little to add to them on the present occasion. The discussion of these and other educational topics in the public press, and at County and Provincial Teachers' Associa- tions, with the increased interest taken in Provincial education, primary, secondary and collegiate, cannot but assist very materially in the solution of the many vexed questions that perplex the administrators of the system. And, seeing that the real force by which the Provincial system is to be promoted must come from the people themselves, it is surely a good omen for this Province when, in addition to the means providbd for
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers {No. 5). A. 1882
securing efficiency in its teacherSj and the thoroughness of the tests applied to their work, our educational system enjoys, in constantly increasing measure, the support of popular sympathy, and the energy which can spring from popular sympathy alone.
2. I am glad to be able to testify, as I have done in the detailed reports already submitted to you, that the High Schools are, with very few exceptions, in a healthy and vigorous condition. Their place as an integral and essential part of the Provincial school system is now assured. There have been but few changes during the year in the head- masterships ; but you will have noticed the many recent accessions of skilled ability and high attainments to the ranks of the assistant masters. But the supply of really skilled teaching, even now, is not equal to the demand ; and this leads me to remark —
3. That while, perhaps, the very best teachers are so by a gift of nature, and cannot by any process be manufactured, yet as these are seen only now and then in a generation, training must be provided for the majority. Training for the teachers of the Primary Schools has long been recognized as a necessity ; teachers of Secondary Schools have had to get this where and how they could. But Secondary or High Schools are a part of the public service, and it would seem that the training of their teachers should be a public- service too. I am glad to know that this subject is occupying your attention, and that there is some prospect of the needed provision being made. Seeing that the Public- School teachers receive their training in the High Schools, and that most teachers will teach as they have themselves been taught, it is most important that the teaching in the High Schools should be of the best attainable character.
4. In view of the increasing numbers of candidates for teachers' certificates attending the High Schools, and the extreme haste and rush to get certificates, I think the time has come to restrain this impetuosity, the result of which is seen at the professional examina- tions in the crudity of the notions of candidates, and in their want of information and culture. The element of time in training has not been sufficiently recognized among us ; and now that the prospective supply of teachers is so large, I submit that in their interest, and in the interest of the High Schools, it would be well to require of candidates going up to the non-professional examination for teachers, a certificate of one or two years' attendance at a High School.
5. In close relation to the above, I am of the opinion that many boys and girls are prematurely urged forward from the Public School to the High School, owing to the credit attending the passing of the examination. Some of these would do far better to remain a year or two longer at the Public School, their extreme youth rendering it undesirable to impose upon them the burden of the High School curriculum. Many of the High School pupils do not remain long enough after passing the entrance examination for their High School training to exercise any very appreciable effect upon them.
6. Considering the fact that many of the pupils do not contemplate adopting teach- ing as a profession, but are still anxious for promotion to the Upper School, I submit that it would be well to meet such cases by an extension, to a limited extent, of the system of options, and by modifying the rigour of the rule as to the minimum of marks necessary for passing into the Upper School. General excellence might be allowed to compensate for deficiency in a single subject, so that a good aggregate might atone for low marks in a branch or group. This has been sanctioned, in a measure, in the past ; but it does not seem fit to permit any one to take out a teacher's certificate who has fallen short of the minimum in any subject. Twenty per cent, in arithmetic, for example, is surely too low for one who has to teach arithmetic.
7. I think that the examination for teachers should be further differentiated from that of the mere Intermediate, by adding questions of a special character, suited to that class of candidates ; and that candidates be required to state on their papers whether they are writing for a teaching certificate or not, and that the examiners be guided in their reading the papers accordingly. It is manifestly unfair and injurious to apply the same test to a boy or girl of fourteen as to an adult or to a pupil of eighteen.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
8. The High School Inspectors have noticed a marked difference among the local Examining Boards in their valuation of candidates' answers at the High School Entrance Examination. Most of the Examiners exercise good judgment in this work ; but there are not wanting instances of extreme laxity. It is desirable that the results be reviewed by two Examiners before the report of the examination is sent in.
9. As the question of the distribution of the Government grant will probably engage your attention, I take the liberty of asking your attention to the remarks on this subject made by the High School Inspectors in their reports for 1879, and to the special memo- randum submitted by me, under your instructions. I will only add here, that I respect- fully suggest that the following principles should be kept in view in any scheme that may be adopted for apportioning the grant : —
a. To allow a fixed minimum of $450 to each school, as at present.
b. To allow a fixed sum in consideration of school accommodations and equipment.
c. To allow a fixed sum in consideration of the number and qualification of the teachers engaged.
d. To give a sum not exceeding the amount paid per pupil in the Public School, for every pupil attending the High School. This sum should be kept low, in order not to offer a premium for crowding the High School at the expense of the Public School.
e. To give a small sum, say §4 or less, per annum for each Upper School pupil. This sum should be kept down, in order to diminish the unhealthy rivalry that has arisen between schools, and to relieve the teachers from harassing and undue anxiety as to examination results, and from the attempts, too frequently made, to lure away pupils from their classes.
/. To allow for pupils passing a University Examination at the same rate as for Upper School. This is desirable in view of the increasing number of candidates who are going up for matriculation and for the University local examinations for women.
a. To give a money bonus for the encouragement of such subjects as ought to be taught in High Schools, but are too often neglected, as having no place in the Inter- mediate Examination, viz. : Music, Drawing, Drill, Reading and Writing. The first three of these have almost ceased to be taught since the grant for them was withdrawn. The neglect of Reading and Writing in the High Schools has been dwelt upon in former reports.
h. To require a fee from candidates for teachers' certificates, at their Non-professional Examination.
i. To secure generally in the arrangement, as great an amount of fixity as may be, so that School Boards shall be enabled to make their estimates from year to year with some approach to certainty, and that their operations may not be embarrassed by excessive fluctuations in their receipts.
k. To lessen the 'examination pressure.' The public mind has unfortunately been led to form its estimate of the success of a school by the number of pupils advertised as having passed some public written examination, whether for promotion, or for certificate, or for matriculation. The Public School is judged by the number of its entrants to the Hi»h School, and the High School by the number of its ' intermediates,' or matriculants, and by these tests the popular estimate of the High School is to a great extent determined. Now, while I believe it to be true that the number of intermediates passed as compared with the number of candidates, taking several years together, would be a pretty fair test of the efficiency of a High School, it is plainly unjust to expect the ' tale of bricks' every year. One way to remove this hardship would be to make the money "rant dependent on the examinations a good deal less than it is at present. The honour of passing examinations should be abundant stimulus. It is not teachers, as a "eneral rule, that require to be urged to exertion, and it would be better to encourage effort on the part of school trustees and municipalities, by giving them pecuniary returns. for the amounts they pay in equipping their school and in providing efficient teachers.

10. The attention of the Department has been drawn to the fact that in many instances the cost to High School Boards of the Intermediate Examination is greater than the money payment to the High School in respect of its candidates who pass ; but if fees were imposed upon candidates for teachers' certificates, the cost of the Intermediate Examination otherwise might be borne by the Department. Many who write at the Intermediate Examination are not High School pupils and have no proper claim upon the High School Board for the payment of expenses caused by them.

Extracts from Reports of Public School Inspectors.
County of Dundas.
Extract from Report of Arthur Brown, Esq., Inspector.
The average of salaries paid teachers in the townships also shows a steady decrease, while that in the villages shows a slight increase. The averages for the County for the three years were $273.97, 8278.95 and 8270.1' -I respectively. The average salary of male teachers for the same period was $383.18, $366.95 and §373.75, and of female teachers 8192.08, $194.99 and $188.80.
The attendance for 1880 does not show the same gratifying result as that recorded for 1S79. The falling off, however, occurs in the villages, and when the four townships are considered by themselves, the record shows an increase of attendance more thou double that of 1879. This increase is due to the greater number of days the schools have been kept open, and to a somewhat more regular attendance, but principally to the former.

I cannot help thinking that the nature of the Regulations in reference to additional accommodation has something to do with the small ratio of average attendance to the school population. The Regulations provide that when a section has a certain number of resident children an additional room and an additional teacher shall be secured. These Regulations are almost a dead letter. Parents in too many instances discourage attend ance, lest their schools should be over-full and the expense of another teacher incurred ; and trustees, through fear of the school-room proving too small, neglect to urge a full attendance. I am sorry to have observed even a care to recurn the numbers in the school census below the actual amount. I fear that as long as the appointment of an otlicer to look after absentees is left optional with trustees, the appointment will only be made in sections in which there is full accommodation for all the children of the section.
I am glad to be able to report the schools of the County as improving in efficiency. The teaching is more thorough and practical, as is evidenced both at Competitive and Entrance Examinations. A good part of this improvement is due to the training given in the County Model School, and to the regular attendance of teachers at their Association Meetings. When the County Model Schools shall have been made as complete as possible, all will have been done that can be done to secure competent and trained teachers. The next great object will be to secure the attendance of a much larger proportion of the children ; and if the Minister of Education shall be enabled to secure the same success in this direction that he has in securing qualified teachers, our Public Schools will be justly the pride of our people.

Extract from Report of W. J. Svmmerby, Esq., Inspector.
Having been in the Inspectorate but a short time before the close of the year, I shall not make any general remarks other than to state that the greatest hindrance to progress in the schools seems to be the lack of qualified teachers. You will see by the report that sixty-five, or nearly one-half, of the teachers held temporary certificates during the past year
County of Leeds — District No. 1. Extract from Report of W. R. Bigg, Esq., Inspector.
I cannot report any material alteration in the status of the schools since the date of my last report. Salaries have, however, been subject to a reduction, consequent upon the increased supply of teachers, and the engagements made at the close of the year 1880 indicate a still further diminution, about twenty-five per cent, less being paid than during the period 1874 to 1877.
The enterprising village of Gananoque has erected a large, handsome and commo- dious one-story stone school-house, containing four rooms, with separate out-door entries and cloak rooms, which will afford ample accommodation with that already possessed. Two of the rooms are 40 feet by 36 feet, and the other two are 36 feet by 25 feet. The rooms are lofty and well furnished witli blackboards. An acre of playground is attached to the building.
The Grenville Model School having been discontinued, a greater amount of labour is now thrown on the Brockville and Farmersville Model Schools, which, although doing Grenville's work, do not receive the Government grant formerly paid to the latter. The Counties' Council this year supplemented the Government grant by apportioning $100 to Brockville and $200 to Farmersville. I trust that ere long increased assistance will be afforded both by the Government and County Councils.
Compulsory education will take a long time to enforce. What is everybody's business is no one's, and the permissive or recommendatory provisions of the School Act remain to all intents and purposes a dead letter. It seems extremely unfair to enact that the schools shall be free, and to tax everyone for the support of universal education, and having obtained the money for that purpose not to so expend it. Surely we ought not to be compelled to pay merely for the theory that "the State mivs every child an education." Yet at any hour of the day our streets are swarming with children between the ages of five and sixteen, though many of them may be perhaps occasionally sent to school.
By the regulations to come into operation in 1881, the standard for Third Class Certificates has been raised to that of the late Intermediate. This I consider very objec- tionable from an eastern standpoint. The change may be suitable for the west, but it
30

is premature here, as we have barely enough Third Class teachers to supply our needs, and have been hitherto obliged, in many instances, to grant temporary certificates. 1 fail to see, in the ease of our ordinary rural schools, where Fourth Class work is hardly the maximum attained, except in a few instances, the utility of exacting from the teacher a superficial knowledge of chemistry and natural philosophy, especially when these subjects are taught only in the High 'Schools.
The effect in towns of school law legislation during the past ten years, has been to exalt the High Schools at the expense of the Public Schools. The latter are now virtually but mere feeders to tin' former, to which all the pupils rush, as soon as they have been sufficiently crammed to pass the Entrance examination. Hence in Brockville as else- the Fifth and Sixth Classes in the Central School are things of the past, the limit iiij« being Fourth Class work, for which the Board of Trustees, with unaccountable liberality, actually pay 8:2, 500 per annum. Yet we were told in the senior High School Inspector's report for 1872 that "those who look upon it (the Public School) as the insignificant beginner of an imperfect work, which is merely initiatory to that of a higher and more favoured institution, fail to comprehend its true character and object. It is not a mere feeder to the High School ; to provide the latter with pupils is surely not the sole or even the primary object of its existence. The Public School is absolutely essential to the advancement of the nation. Hence the necessity of keeping constantly in view the high aim of the Public School, and of making it eminently efficient for its great work ni general education."
County of Leeds — District No. 2. Extract from Report of R. Kinney, Esq., Inspector.
The total number of schools, their financial condition, the amounts received from various sources and expended under as many different heads, the qualifications of the r sachers, their annual salaries, the number of pupils enrolled, the length of time each attended during the year, their classification, etc., are all very important matters. There are other considerations, however, which must not be overlooked in making a complete representation of the subject.
The harmonious working of the educational machinery is by no means the least pleasing and satisfactory phase of the question, and I am happy to be able to state that this condition characterizes the working of the School Law and Regulations throughout the District. While, in educational affairs, in this progressive age, it is at least question- able whether we shall ever attain to that degree of perfection at which it would be well to "rest and be thankful," yet there is no reason why we should not appreciate that which is, in reality, a subject of thankfulness, namely, co-operation and sympathy on the part of those interested in educational progress.
It is a fact worthy of observation that adult pupils, young men and young women, ■are again attending school in many sections. This class suddenly left the Public Schools in 1871, owing perhaps to the introduction of a limit table and a more thorough system of classification. Whatever was the cause of their sudden departure, it was very much to be regretted, and their return is hailed with pleasure. A quarter of a century ago a winter's schooling was looked upon as a special educational privilege, enjoyed only by a favoured few. During our long Canadian winters our schools furnish the unoccupied adult population of both town and country opportunities for mental improvement which, if properly embraced, will tend to produce a prosperous and contented people.
Third Class teachers are very numerous indeed, even in our oldest and wealthiest counties. Whatever explanation may be given in order to account for their numbers, it certainly cannot be explained on the modern maxim of the "survival of the fittest;" yet in all probability for many years to come the majority of our schools will be taught by Third Class teachers. This, however, cannot be said to be an unmitigated evil, as many of these teachers are rendering excellent service in the cause of primary education.
It is satisfactory to see it stated on good authority that our High School system is
31
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
•in general working well; and as this is the great source from which we draw our supply of teachers, if the same high authority, or one equally competent to judge, could also assure the public that in this particular our High School system is also working well, the statement would remove considerable anxiety. I fear, however, this cannot be said at present. Subjects of the first importance in a Public School course, such as reading, writing, music and drawing, are apparently considered too primary to receive due attention in our High Schools. The result is our Third Class teachers are not particularly well prepared to teach these branches in the Public Schools. The High School programme seems sufficiently flexible to admit of more attention being given to them, and I cannot, but think if the High School Inspectors were to attach more importance to these subjects in their visits of inspection, and also give them a place in the Intermediate Examination, the masters would not be slow to act upon the suggestion. Cannot some value be given to these subjects at the next Intermediate Examination 1
The year 1880 was not productive of very marked changes in educational affairs. The only one of importance was that in reference to Third Class Non-professional Exami- nations, by which County Boards were relieved of a large amount of work, and munici- palities of a somewhat large and immediate expenditure. Practically it will be found that a considerable amount of this expenditure has been only transferred to the High School Boards, as an additional presiding examiner will be required at each of the Inter- mediate Examinations.
County op Hastings — North. Extract from Report of William Mackintosh, Esq., Inspector.
Difficulties, numerous and discouraging, retard the advancement of education in every county. In such districts as that of which I have the oversight, many disheartening influences have to be contended against of which trustees, teachers and inspectors in older, wealthier, and more densely populated counties, know little or nothing. Taking these into consideration, our schools are in a fairly satisfactory condition.
School Taxation. -By the kindness of the clerks of the different municipalities I have been enabled to get trustworthy information regarding the rates of school taxation.
In Rawdon the average rate was 4 mills, the rates ranging from 2j mills in School Section No. 8, to 8| mills in School Section No. 11. In Huntingdon the average was 8 mills, the rates ranging from 4| mills in School Section No. 12, to 15J mills in School Section No. 13. In Madoc the average was 7 mills, the rates ranging from 3 J mills in School Section No. 16, to 13 mills in School Section No. 19. In Elzevir the average was 14 mills, the rates ranging from 1 cent in School Section No 2 and School Section No. 4, to 29| mills iii School Section No. 1 (Bridgewater). The average in Dungannon and Faraday was 16 mills, the rates ranging from 8 mills in School Section No. 3, to 40 mills in School Section No. 4. In Tudor, Cashel, Limerick and Wollaston, the average was 23 mills, the rates ranging from 14T7a mills in School Section No. 10, to 33^ mills in School Section No. 7. In Marmora and Lake the average was 11 mills, the lowest being in School Section No; 1 and School Section No. 5 (5 mills), and the highest in School Section No. 8 (14 mills). In Monteagle and ETerschel the rates averaged IS mills, ranging from 27 mills in School Section No. 4, to 104. mills in No. C. In Bangor. Wicklow and McClure, the average was 19 mills, the rates ranging from 17.1, mills in School Section No. 4, to 40 mills in School Section No. 1. The average in Carlow and Mayo was 24 mills, the rates ranging from 6 mills in School Section No. 1, to 40 mills in No. 4 and No. 5. In Madoc and Stirling villages the rates were 7 and 6 mills respectively.

Time for which the Schools were kept open. — The year 1880 contained 222 teaching days. In Rawdon the schools were in operation for 211 clays; in Huntingdon, for 206 days; in Madoc, for 193 days; in Elzevir, for 179 days; in Dungamion and Faraday, for 176 days ; in Tudor, Limerick, Cashel and Wollaston, for 182 days; in Marmora and Lake, for 188 days; in Bangor, Wicklow and McClure, for 145 days ; in Monteagle and Herschel, for 152 days: in Carlow and Mayo, for 153 days; in Stirling, for 222 days; and in Madoc village, for 221 days. The average time for which they were open in the Inspectorate was 185 days.
The practice of keeping a school open for only a part of the school year is fraught with injury to the children of the section. Were the same teacher retained for several successive terms less harm would result, but this is very rarely the case. A new teacher, and as a rule a poor one every year, is the unfailing concomitant of the system.
I fear it must continue in some localities. In others there are no cogent reasons for its adoption. It is essentially' a penny-wise and pound-foolish system. In many places it is perpetuated by the carelessness and apathy of trustees and parents. In other sections it is maintained by the influential taxpayers, who have no personal interest in the welfare of the school.
" Keep down the taxes " is always a popular cry, and too frequently is the school made to sutler on account of extravagance in other matters.
School I'njiiilnthin •'//</ Attendance. — The number of persons, from 5 to 1G, in the Inspectorate, as reported by trustees, was 5,271.
Four thousand nine hundred and forty-three pupils, of all ages, were in attendance during some part of the year.
The attendance is shown in the following statement ; being in ten Townships and Unions, and two Villages :
Average attendance 2094
Percentage of average attendance 42
Number who attended less than 20 days 616
Number who attended between 200 days and the whole year . . 248
The percentage of average attendance, as shown in this statement, is greater than for
33
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5) A. 1882
any previous year. And yet, how unsatisfactory must be the educational progress of any district in which the school attendance is so irregular.
In a number of sections I am pleased to notice improvement in this matter. In every instance this has been produced by earnest and intelligent efforts on the part of the teacher. Interesting, enthusiastic and effective teaching will, without doubt, the evil.
Teachers. — Ninety-three teachers were reported. Of these, 2 had Provincial First Class Certificates (1 First A and 1 First B), 19 held Provincial Second Class, 45 had Third Class, and 27 had Special Certificates or "Permits." With three exceptions, al! of the latter had charge of schools in the townships on the Colonization roads.
The remuneration received by the teachers was as follows: —
Average salary paid to male teachers 8347 29
Average salary paid to female teachers 242 14
Classification of Pupils. — In the First, or lowest, Class there were 2,179 pupils; in the Second, 1,276 : 'in the Third. 1,078 : in the Fourth, 339 ; in the Fifth. 55 : and in the Sixth, 16.
In June and December, examinations for promotion to the Fifth Class were held at Madoc and Stirling. As in 1879 the questions used were those set for the examination for admission to High Schools (a supply of which was kindly furnished by the Minist. r of Education), and the regulations prescribed for the government of that examination were strictly adhered to. Forty-four successful candidates, from sixteen schools, were promoted to the Fifth Class.
Model School. -Under the efficient management of Mr. Kirk this important institu- tion again did good service to our schools. In my report for 1879 I was able to refer in terms of commendation to the manner in which it was conducted. The enthusiasm, industry and intelligence manifested by the Principal and his assistants in the discharge of their duties during 1880 merit high praise. Such marked progress justifies me in anticipating continued growth and improvement.
To any one acquainted with the youthful character of many who enter Model Schools. the prime importance of firmness and thoroughness in their government will at once be recognized. Upon this, and the excellence of the teaching seen by the students while in these local Normal Schools, depend their subsequent success as teachers. Self-restraint and self-government are necessary to the attainment of real success by the teacher. These invaluable qualities can only be acquired by constantly practising them. An enforced practice of them while in the Modi I School will prove of much advantage in after-life.
'/'"• nty-five students were trained during 1880. Of these, two left the school before the close of the session, our was rejected at the Professional Examination, and twenty-two were authorized to teach.
Teachers' Association. — A report on the state of education without a reference to the Teachers' Association would be incomplete.
It is still rendering valuable aid. The meetings are. almost invariably, well attended, and the discussions (all of which have a direct bearing on the welfare of the schools) are listened to with attention and interest.
Poor The liberal grant of 8100 to aid the schools in each of the
remote municipalities was supplemented by the Minister of Education to the extent of S426 75. This assistance has been productive of much good, and I hope it will be continued.
County op Hastings — South.
Extract from Report of John Johnston, Esq., In*y
In this Inspectorate there are 82 school houses and about 100 teachers. The following statement is worthy of notice: — 1,137 children were entered on the daily registers of the Township of Sidney, and the whole amount of money expended in
34
45 Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
paying teachers' salaries, and in furnishing the schools with all necessaries, including repairs, -wood, cleaning, etc., was $7,306. 57i, showing that the cost for each pupil for this year was $6.42, in 1879 86. In Thurlow 1,184 children; the amount of money expended $6,948.97; the cost of each pupil $5.86, in 1879 $5.50. In' Tyendinaga the monej spent for 1,324 children was $7,528.69, making the cost for each pupil $5.68. In Hungerford, for 1,250 children, $5,775.59 were expended, making for each 84.62, in 1879 $4.50. In Trenton Public Schools, 464 children, $1,983.99, or"$4.27 per head, in 1879 81.44. The Separate School, Trenton, with 235 children, expended 8974.93; rate per head $4.14, in 1879 $3. In Deseronto there are 332 children, and the amount expended for each pupil $4.37, in 1879 $3.75.
Irregularity of Attendance. — The compulsory clauses in the school law have been of no use. Trustees would not enforce them, and in consequence many children attended \ ty irregularly, and some did not attend any school. At the last session of the Ontario Legislature the law was amended.
The parent and guardian of every child not less than seven nor more than thirteen years of age, is required to cause such child to attend a public school, or any school in which elementary instruction is given, during the whole time in each week for which such school is open, and for eleven weeks in each of the two terms of the public year.
Any person who receives into his house a child of any person, under the age of thirteen years, and who is a resident with him or in his employment or care, is subject 0 the same duty.
In case of a child employed in any manufactory, one-half of the whole time required by the Act in each week for instruction shall be deemed sufficient.
Public School Boards and Rural School Trustees may appoint an officer to ascertain and report to the School Board or Trustees, for their information, any parent or other person who has failed and omitted, and is failing and omitting, to perforin the duty of providing that each child of his, or in his care or employment, between the ages of seven and thirteen years, is attending some school or otherwise being under efficient elementary instruction ; and it should be the duty of such officer to notify, personally or by letter or otherwise, such parent or other person of his neglect and the consequences thereof ; and it shall be the duty of the School Board or Trustees, through their said officer, to make complaint to the Police Magistrate or Justice of the Peace.
As every ratepayer is taxed for the education of all the children in the section, it is only right that the children at least between the above ages should attend school.
In Sidney 109 children between 7 and 12 are reported as not having attended any place of instruction; in Thurlow, 69 ; in Tyendinaga, 47 ; and in Hungerford, 184.
Since I presented my last report for 1879 I have carefully examined all the schools twice; besides the usual visits, I have attended many public examinations.
I am able to report a marked improvement in nearly all of them during my last \ isit. The teachers are doing their utmost to give the scholars a thorough and practical training in all the elementary subjects, such as reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, practical grammar and geography ; while in many the higher subjects are taught in a very efficient manner.
It has been frequently said, to have good scholars we must have good and efficient teachers. Teachers have been encouraged in every way to teach their scholars thoroughly and well.
Two meetings of the Teachers' Association have been held since my last report was presented, and the last one was very successful and thoroughly practical. On the evening of the second day, Dr. Jaques, President of Albert College, delivered in the City Hall an excellent lecture on " Mental Gymnastics," to the members of the Association and others. It was the best practical lecture on education ever delivered before the teachers of South Hastings.
Forty-nine school houses have been built during the past ten years, and this year an excellent brick house is being erected in School Section No. 19, Sidney.
The collecting of school rates by the township collectors has given very general satisfaction to trustees. It is required that all trustees shall send to the township clerk
35

the amount to be raised for school purposes on »r before the meeting of the Council in August.
After the Model School examination last October there were more teachers than was necessary to supply all the schools. But as the standard has been raised, it will be a long time before this will again take place. Candidates for Third Class Certificates have now to pass the same examination formerly passed by candidates for Second Class.
At present there are only thirteen Second Class teachers in the Division. As candidates in the future will have to pass an examination much more difficult than in the past, it will be impossible to supply all the schools with teachers unless they come from western counties.
In consequence of this change in the law, a Board of Examiners is only necessary to conduct the examination at the close of the .Model School term, as all the Second and Third Class papers will be sent by the Inspector to Toronto to be examined.
A Board composed of the two Inspectors and another thoroughly practical man who understands the work to be done in the Public Schools, will be sufficient. This will materially lessen the expenses of examination.
Twenty-five candidates were trained in the Model Schools last September and October.
After a careful inspection of all the schools, I am able to report a marked improve- ment in nearly all of them.
County of Haliburton. Extract from Report of G. D. Curry, Esq., Inspector.
I am pleased to state that considerable progress has been made, the classification of pupils being much better than has prevailed heretofore, and more attention having been paid to the programme.
Two very useful meetings of the Teachers' Association have been held during the year. The County Council have granted §25 to the Association, which sum will be supplemented by the Department.
The new system of reporting the state of the school directly to the trustees after each inspectoral visit, will, I consider, be found to work well in stimulating teachers, and awakening a more lively interest on the part of trustees.
County of York — North. Extract from Report of David Foth&ringliam, Esq., Inspector.
The economical management of finances in 1879 was extended to 1880. \A hile the amount paid to teachers was not diminished, the income and expenditure were both less, the former by $2,046, and the latter by 8800. No outlay on new buildings was made, while the efficiency of the schools was maintained by a larger expenditure on maps, prizes, etc., and on fuei and other incidentals. Of debts on property the sum of 84,630 was paid off, as against 86,321 in 1879.
Seventy-live male teachers recfived only 8724 more than seventy received in 1879. The average salary has thus fallen from 8432.27 to 8404.71. The average to lady teachers, of whom four fewer were employed, has risen from 8251.22 to 8260.71. This year reverses the steady increase of salaries to male teachers during the last 10 years.
The marked advance in the qualifications of teachers however leads to the hope that this reaction is only temporary. Five First Class Provincial Certificates against four in 1879; thirty-eight Second Class Provincial, against thirty-three; and thirty-nine Normal trained teachers, against thirty-four in 1879, promise well for the future. Eight, as in the previous year, taught on First Old County Board Certificates, and fifty-one instead of fifty-five on New County Board Third Class Certificates.
The average attendance was 47 per cent, of those from five to sixteen — about the
s: as that of 1879 and several preceding years. Forty-five fewer than in 1879 are
36
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
reported as not attending four months ; that is a reduction of 9 per cent. The schools were open, on an average, one day longer than in the previous year.
The programme of studies has been more nearly followed than formerly. The num- ber in advanced subjects is reported as much less, and the number in the subjects prescribed for the first four classes as much greater.
The record of work, as tested by inspection, shows that 14 schools passed excelli nt examinations; 25 good; 17 fair; and 25 poor. Thus 39 instead of 30 are good; 17 instead of 28 fair; and 25 instead of 20 poor.
In 80, instead of 72 out of 89 schools, devotional exercises find a place ; while in 53 the Commandments are also taught. The report of visitors shows an increase of interest. Tlio supply of maps and libraries has been kept up; but the number of books called for has fallen oft" seriously.
The number of successful candidates for admission to the High Schools has been much greater than usual. The school system, theoretically very complete, suffers no less than in former years from Irregular Attendance, Frequent Change of Teachers, and Great Inequality of Taxation. A thorough system of Township or District Boards would, no doubt, rapidly reduce these evils ; and since popular prejudice blocks the way to this much-needed reform, some general and prolonged agitation should be started to show its necessity.
The Teachers' Association, with its regular meetings, its excellent library, and the encouragement extended by educationists from outside, is still doing good service ; though many, especially new teachers, to the extent of 40 per cent., neglect to attend. This evil could be met by providing, as is done in some places, that the School Board shall pay a reasonable amount for expenses, and receive in return from the teacher a written sum- mary of the proceedings of each Convention.
As a special report has been sent in regarding the County Model School at New- market, it is unnecessary to say anything here.
For the Separate School in the same town a commodious house was erected, largely through the energy and liberality of the Rev. \V. R. Harris.
County of York — South. Extract from Report of James Hodgson, Esq., Inspector.
Great interest continues to be manifested by trustees and the people generally in the cause of Public School Education, and since my last report to the Education Department I have had most ample proof of the decided advantages that have already arisen from the training of teachers in our County Model School at Yorkville.
I have found, as a rule, that teachers trained therein enter upon their work with greater confidence, and display a zealous earnestness in school work which is very much to be commended, and which enters very largely into the necessary qualifications of a successful teacher.
It appears to me, however, that it is very desirable that the period of attendance in County Model Schools should be somewhat extended. This is a somewhat difficult question, as a longer session might seriously interfere with the regular and daily work of such pupils, and might be objected to by the trustees and teachers thereof. I hope that you will be able to provide some escape from this dilemma.
In my last report to the County Council of York, I ventured to state that, after mature deliberation, I had resolved to advise Public School Trustees, when a change of teachers is desirable, to make the change, if possible, at the end of the first half-year, instead of at the end of the year, for this obvious reason : After the summer vacation the attendance is always comparatively small, and that good discipline is much more easily obtained and kept up than when the attendance is much larger. Besides, in the summer term the larger scholars are not generally in attendance at a rural Public School, and consequently there is less difficulty in the management and government thereof, and a
37
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
teacher who takes charge of a Public School at that time will acquire some experience before the larger scholars would be in attendance.
Ti - manage senior pupils well and judiciously is a work of great difficulty, and requires an amount of tact and good judgment scarcely to be expected in a young teacher who has had little or no experience. An improvement in the discipline and good government of our Public .Schools is very desirable, aud demands the most serious and thoughtful con- sideration. You will, therefore, excuse me tin- calling your attention to what I deem to be of very great importance.
I may add that another reason has been assigned by a County Inspector, viz., that it would be a great improvement if the school year were to close at the midsummer vaca- tion. At present the reports of Inspectors are required just when the schools are fullest, and when an Inspector's time can be employed among them to the best advantage, and when, by reason of good roads, he could do his travelling best. At midsummer the schools are smaller; younger pupils alone are attending; the vacation is long, and an Inspector could attend to his reports with less detriment to the due performance of the more important duty of his office — the examination and inspection of the various classes in the Public Schools, so as to test the thoroughness, or otherwise, of the school work.
At the commencement of 1880, thirty teachers changed schools; but last January only twenty changes were made— a great improvement, as the frequent change of teachers is very detrimental to the efficiency of school work.
County op Beant. Extract from Report of M. J. Kelly, Esq., Inspector.
The schools, as a whole, are in a satisfactory condition. They are, as might be expected, not uniformly good, or uniformly well conducted. Many well-known causes affect them for good or ill, but the ill ones are not unavoidable. Frequent changes of teachers, for instance, are not conducive to their prosperity. When a teacher has been tried, and found to be of competent ability and acquirements, and faithful in the discharge of his duties, his service ought to be retained, at whatever cost. A few dollars should not be permitted to sever his connection with the school. On the other hand, if he is unable to preserve order, has not the moral and intellectual qualifications an instructor of the young should possess, has not his heart in the work, thinks more of the salary than of the service to be rendered, lacks energy and enthusiasm, is not studious, the sooner he is got rid of the better.
A second evil that operates to retard the progress of the schools is the apathy of parents.
A third evil that injuriously affects the progress of schools, and to which public attention has been called for years, is irregularity of attendance. To meet this the compulsory clause (which however remained a dead letter) was inserted in the School Act a few years ago. By this clause all children between the ages of seven and twelve years were required to attend school four months in each year, but its enforcement was at the option of the trustees. During the last session of the Ontario Assembly a more efficient Act was passed, with this object. By the provisions of this last Act parents and guardians are required to cause their children, or children under their care, between the ages of seven and thirteen years, to attend some elementary school eleven full weeks in each half-year ; but, as their enforcement still rests with trustees, there is not likely to be much improvement made in the attendance. As an incentive to regula- rity and punctuality, weekly or monthly reports showing the proficiency, etc., of the pupils have been recommended, and are in use in many of the schools. The most efficient means, however, of bringing about reform in this matter are to be found in zealous teachers, who succeed in making their school-rooms attractive, and who can inspire their pupils with the love of knowledge.
Disapproval is sometimes expressed of the extent of the official programme of studies. and the number of subjects therein prescribed to be taught. There is no sufficient ground
38
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
for this. There is not a subject in the programme that is not needful in a comprehensive system of instruction in English. The elementary branches of learning, however, the real basis of a sound education — the three "R's," as they have been called — receive now, as they always have received, the principal share of attention in the schools of this county.
1. Uniform Promotion Examinations. — These examinations were held in March of last year simultaneously in all the schools of the county, and the teachers reported favourably of the result. They were repeated this year.
2. County Model School. — This school opened after the summer vacation with an ;it trii' lance of fourteen candidates, the smallest number we have yet had. All the can- didates passed the professional examination held at the close of the two months' session.
n.al granl of $100 from the county for the maintenance of this institution is, by the recent School Act, made obligatory.
3. Certificates and Salaries. — Sixty-nine teachers were employed in the rural schools of the county during the year. Of these six held tirst-class Provincial certificates ; thirty second-class certificates ; twenty-eight third-class New County Board certificates, and five tirst-class Old County Board certificates. Thirty had received their training in a Normal School.
The amount paid in salaries in the rural schools in 1880 was $26,053.95. The highest salary paid any male teacher was $600, the lowest $350 — average $456. The highest salary paid a female teacher was $400 — the average $264. The salaries are highest in the Township of Brantford ; lowest in the Township of Burford. There are also more female teachers employed in the latter township.
4. School-houses, Sites, etc. — The number of school sections in the county is 74 ; of school-houses 62 ; of extra departments 8 ; total departments, 70.
5. Entrance Examinations. — Two of these were held during the year, in July and December. At the first, the number of candidates that presented themselves at the Brant- ford Collegiate Institute was 79 — number passed, 55.
In December the number was 55 for entrance ; number passed, 46.
6. Teachers' Institutes. — Two meetings of the teachers of the county were held dur- ing tin- year, the sessions lasting each two days. The attendance on both occasions was large, and the last was especially successful. At the June meeting we had the valuable assistance of J. A. McLellan, L.L.D., and at the meeting in November, J. M. Buchan, M.A., Inspectors of High Schools. The professional library, for the use of the teachers, is open every Saturday. It embraces about 250 volumes of choice books, most of them treating of school management, methods of teaching, and other educational topics.
7. Public School Libraries. — There are 35 libraries in the county — the number of volumes in them at the close of 1879 was 4,835 ; at the close of 1880 it was 5,269, and the number taken out was 6,101'. Oakland has two libraries, with 294 volumes ; Onondaga 4, with 251 volumes; South Dumfries 7, with 1,012 volumes; Brantford 14, with 2,74 2 volumes ; Burford 8, with 970 volumes. Brantford Township has more than half the total number.
8. School Visits. — The number of visits made by the Inspector was 146 ; by trustees, 212 ; by others, 1,030 — total, 1,388. Every school was officially visited twice during the year.
TOWN OF PARIS.
The schools were found to be in a satisfactory state. The salaries in the Public Schools amounted to $3,000 — two male teachers at $500 and $600 each, and three female teachers at $300 each, and four at $250 each. Six hold second-class Provincial certifi- cates, and three first-class Old County Board certificates. There are 850 children of school age in the municipality, and 775 enrolled. There are four school houses — three of brick and one rough-cast. A new building containing four fine school rooms was erected during the summer, on a good site, at the cost of $4,000. Paris has an excellent Mechanics' Institute library and well-kept reading room.

CITY OF BRANTFORD.
There has been little change in the Brantford Public Schools since my last Report. The attendance was slightly less than during the preceding year, owing, probably, to the employment of more children in the factories. The number enrolled was 1,943 — 1,019 boys, 924 girls ; fifty-two passed the Collegiate Institute Entrance Examination. Twenty- eight teachers are employed. The library contains 930 volumes, and of these 1,651 were taken out. The buildings and grounds are now highly creditable to the city; but to render their equipment complete, suitable gymnasiums are required for the physical education of the children, which is altogether neglected.
County of Lincoln. Extract from Report of J. B. Somerset, Esq., Inspector.
To estimate our educational progress, it is desirable sometimes to institute comparisons between its different stages.
In 1S71, changes were made in our educational system of such a radical nature as to cause at the time apprehension as to the results. Sufficient time has elapsed to enable us to review the working of the system during the nine years, and to form some conclusion as to the benefits. This may be considered under the following heads : —
Financial. — Three-fourths of the money from all sources for the support of schools in this county comes from the direct tax on all assessable property, as fixed by the requisitions of the local Trustees elected by the ratepayers ; and the people themselves, therefore, take the most important part in securing efficiency in their schools.
In 1871 the sum received from all sources was $28,464.47, of which §19,847.29 arose from the local tax. In 1880 the receipts were $45,030. 51, and $24,672.57 from the local tax. The large expenditures on school buildings, rendered imperative by the provisions of the new law, have now ceased, so that the present expenditure may be regarded as reduced to its ordinary amount.
Moreover, this county has not — like many of the more western parts of the Province — been growing in population. In the past year there is a slight reduction in the number of enrolled pupils, though localities like Merritton, Beamsville, and Grimsby have increased in population. The increase in the receipts for school purposes therefore arises from other causes than increase of pupils, and was mainly in teachers' salaries. Thus, while the amount for 1871 for all purposes was $26,275.83, and for teachers' . salaries $17,698.88, in 1880 the sum was $33,621.01 for all purposes, and $26,796.50 for teachers' salaries.
To a better appreciation of the value of teaching experience and skill by the rate- payers we may fairly attribute this increase in expenditures so closely watched as those of rural School trustees.
School Attendance. — In school attendance there is a gradual improvement. Thus of 5,081 enrolled pupils reported in 1871, the average attendance was 1,982, or 39 per cent. ; in 1880 the enrolled number was 5,098, the average 2,225, being 43^ per cent, of the total.
School Classification. — On the 16th and Nth of December last the first uniform Promotion Examination in each school of the county was held, this subject having been previously discussed, and the result so far has been very encouraging in bringing about a proper classification.
Teachers. — There were 80 teachers employed in the county last year, of whom two held first-class Provincial certificates, 28 second-class, 45 third-class, and five Old County certificates.
There are very few teachers of our schools who have had none of the advantages of training in the County Model or Normal Schools.
Teachers' Associations.— The comparison between the present and 1871 is very marked as regards the teachers themselves, and the work done in the school-room.
40
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
The meetings of the County Teachers' Association, half-yearly, give much assistance to teachers, from the opportunities afforded of mutual interchange of opinions, and of hearing practical educationists on various subjects relating to their work. The feature of Township Teachers' Institutes in connection with county meetings, first put into practice in this county, is now about to be recommended by the Minister of Education to all Associations.
The salaries of teachers in 1871 were : Average of male teachers, $352 ; females, $220. In 1880 the average of male teachers was $403 ; females, $263.
The frequent change of teachers in 1871 was a great evil. Nearly all schools then changed their teachers after one year's service, one-third made two changes yearly, and some even more. At present nearly all schools keep their teachers for two, three, or more years, and one-half observe the rule of never changing but for some unavoidable cause. Forty-seven schools were taught last year by persons who had been in charge for two or more years, while in 1871 twenty-one schools had made two changes of teachers.
School Accommodation. — Since 1871, twenty-seven new school-houses have been built in this county, many of them convenient and in good taste, and with much attention to health and comfort. A large number have been repaired with the same object. Forty-one schools have been refurnished with new seats and desks suitable to children of all ages, for writing or study.
In maps and apparatus much has been accomplished, and the former ones have been replaced by modern maps and apparatus in nearly every school in the county, with additional conveniences, such as tablet lesson cards, calculators, etc.
Viewing our progress generally, during the nine years since 1871, there is substan tial reason for satisfaction, not only in what has been done, but as warranting just expectations of greater progress in the future. Many of the former obstacles have been removed, and others are losing influence year by year.

-4. — Summary of " Methods of Teaching " Employed in Provincial Model School,
Toronto.
(1) Reading.
Fourth Division. — Pupils are first taught to recognize entire words. When a num- ber of these are known they are taught the sounds of the letters, and are then required to recognize words and pronounce them by sounding their different parts. The teacher makes use of the blackboard and tablets in teaching word recognition.
Reading is mainly taught by imitation. The teacher reads and requires the pupils to read after him simultaneously and individually. Care is taken to correct all mistakes, the blackboard being used for this purpose.
In the Third, Second and First Divisions this subject is taught in a similar manner, being more and more minutely dealt with as the pupil progresses.
(2) Spelling.
Fourth Division. — At first oral spelling only is taught. The blackboard is always used in doing this. New words and those misspelled are placed upon it, and the pupils drilled until each word is thoroughly known.
77
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 18S2
Oral spelling is taught to all the divisions in a similar manner.
Written spelling is taught to all the class capable of writing.
The pupils aVe required to prepare a passage found in their reading lesson ; then they write this at the dictation of the teacher, in books for the purpose. These books are examined by the teacher, and the pupil is required to correct thoroughly each word misspelled. These words are frequently reviewed. Spelling is taught at every lesson from the fact that all difficult words are written upon the blackboard and the especial attention of the pupils drawn to them.
(3) Arithmetic.
All the Divisions. — Pupils are first taught to count, the balls on the numeral-frame, marbles, etc., being used for this purpose.
They are then taught notation and numeration, the blackboard and numeral-frame being used.
They are next taught the Addition Table from the numeral-frame, and in doing sums are not allowed to count. The Subtraction, Multiplication and Division Tables are thoroughly mastered before the pupils are required to work examples involving a know- ledge of these tables.
The tables of Weights and Measures are taught by object lessons.
New rules are taught from easy mental examples, and from these the pupils deduce the rules, form the definitions, etc.
Problems are given to test the understanding of the pupil. When he fails to work these, the principles are taught again. Reviews are of daily occurrence.
(4) Geography.
All the Divisions. — The definitions are taught by object lessons, the teacher being aided by pictorial illustrations.
Mathematical geography is taught by means of globes, diagrams drawn on the board, etc.
The pupils are taught what a map is. This is done by drawing a picture of the school-room on the blackboard and enlarging it so as to include the building, then the grounds, etc.
Thoroughness and exactness are secured by frequent drills. No lessons are assigned to be prepared in books until the part assigned has been carefully taught to the class.
In teaching such physical phenomena as winds, currents, tides, etc., the lessons are conversational ; the pupils are never told ; the teacher directs the pupils and leads them to draw the proper inference, etc.
Map-drawing is taught in all the divisions except the fourth.
(5) Object Lessons.
Third and Fourth Divisions. — Every lesson is taught objectively, when possible, in all the divisions, but the object lesson proper is confined to the above-named divisions.
In this lesson, as, indeed, in all the lessons taught, the teacher is careful of the fol- lowing points : —
1. To be merely the director, the pupils observing and thinking for themselves.
2. Never to tell the pupil a point which depends upon his understanding.
3. To have frequent reviews.
4. To make the pupils express themselves in full sentences.
5. To use the blackboard at every stage of the lesson.
78
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
(6) Composition.
All the Divisions. — Oral composition is taught in all the classes and at every lesson. This is done by the teacher setting a good example for imitation, by requiring all answers to be given in the form of complete sentences, by correcting every mistake in composition, and by requiring the correct form of expression to be repeated by the pupil.
Lists of common errors are made, and the pupils frequently drilled upon the correct form of expression.
Written composition is practised from the Second-book Class upward. Subjects of the simplest kind are given at tirst, such as elliptical sentences to be filled out, the sub- stance of the last reading lesson to be written out, etc. As the pupils advance they are required to write sentences of a certain kind, to introduce grammatical equivalents, to paraphrase, to write original compositions, etc.
The greatest care is taken by the teacher in detecting errors in the written com- positions, and whatever errors have been made are required to be corrected by the pupils.
(7) Etymology.
Third, Second and First Divisions. — The Anglo-Saxon suffixes and prefixes are first taught from examples, such as work, worker ; run, runner ; kind, unkind, etc.
The blackboard is employed for this purpose, and the pupils are led to ascertain the meaning of each suffix and prefix from suitable words. They are not told the meaning and asked to remember it, but they ascertain the meaning for themselves.
The classic prefixes, suffixes and chief root words are taught in a similar manner, from the blackboard, in the Second and First Divisions. Exercises in word-building are frequently given to test the knowledge and excite the interest of the pupils in this study.
(8) Mental Arithmetic.
All the Divisions. — All the rules of Arithmetic are introduced by easy mental problems.
Two kinds of examples are given : the first, which deals with simple computation, is intended to secure quickness and accuracy of calculation ; the second, which deals with concrete numbers, is given for the purpose of cultivating the reasoning powers. The blackboard is used for teaching a typical example, and then many such are given to the class.
(9) History.
Third, Second and First Divisions. — This subject is taught in conversational lessons with the pupils. No text-books are used. In the First and Second Divisions, after a lesson has been taught, the heads of the lesson are copied by the pupils. These are used for aiding the pupils in their reviews. The map is used at every lesson, and every place named carefully located. Reviews are very frequent. Collateral reading is recommended to pupils of First Division.
(10) Grammar.
Third, Second and Firs,t Divisions. — This subject is taught by the inductive method. The teacher, by using appropriate examples, leads the pupils to the conclusions desired. Pupils are never required to learn definitions or rules from a book until these have been made by themselves under the guidance of the teacher.
The different parts of this subject are discussed in the following order : — 1st, the sentence and its definition ; 2nd, the parts of the sentence ; 3rd, the parts of speech ; 4th, the inflections, etc.
79
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (Xo. 5). A. 1882
(11) Physiology and Higiene.
Second Division. — By means of diagrams drawn on the board, charts, a skeleton, and certain pieces of apparatus, the teacher makes the pupils acquainted with sufficient anatomy to understand the physiological facts to be taught.
Hygiene is taught incidentally during the teaching of physiology.
I are is taken to make the lessons as practical as possible.
The teacher is careful to make every lesson an object lesson, so there is no lecturing on his part.
(12) Algebra.
First Division. — This subject is taught from the blackboard in a similar manner to Arithmetic, Grammar, etc. By means of appropriate examples the pupils are led to make the definitions, deduce the rules, etc. When a principle has been taught, it is illus- trated by many examples, the aim of the teacher being to proceed thoroughly rather than quickly.
(13) Mensuration.
Second and First Divisions. —The definitions are taught from the blackboard as they are required for use. The pupils deduce the rules from easy examples under the direction of the teacher. Diagrams, figures cut in paper, wood, or leather, are used to illustrate the mode of solution. No text-book is used.
(14) Chemistry.
First Division. — All the teaching is done by means of experiments. No lectun-s are given. The pupils are not told and asked to remember, but are shown various experi- ments, each intended to illustrate some point, and are required to infer and gather the facts from these. The blackboard is used at every stage of the lesson. The heads of each lesson are copied by the pupils into their note-books.
(15) Geometry.
First Division. — The definitions are taught from the board. At first each proposition is carefully taught before the pupils are allowed to use their text-books. This is done by the method of analysis, the construction being made, the resulting figure carefully exam- ined, the consequences noted, etc., etc. The pupils are thus led to observe that there is a reason for each step in the construction and demonstration, and they thus see the neces- sity of mastering the principles involved, rather than the words of the text-book.
(16) Natural Philosophy.
First Division. — This subject is, as far as possible, taught experimentally. Each principle is full)' illustrated by means of diagrams, philosophical charts, apparatus, etc., and numerous problems depending upon it are given for solution.
(17) Literature.
All the Classes. — This subject is taught during the time taken by the teacher in preparing tin' reading lesson for the next day. The pupils are taught the exact force of each word in (his lesson, and in the higher classes are made acquainted with the more common figures of rhetoric and the leading characteristics of the author of the passage.

4.3 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. .3). A. 18S2
(18) Discipline.
Boys' School.
No corporal punishment is employed. The teacher governs his class by his personal influence and by keeping it engaged. No pupil is ever allowed to be idle. Frequent opportunities arise of showing the pupils how much better an orderly mode of doing things is than for each pupil to do the same tilings, but in a way which each one selects for himself. Thus, the pupils are taught to sit at the desks in a uniform manner, to move from room to room in an orderly way at the command of the teacher, etc. The pupils are shown the way the teacher would prefer to have things done, and the public opinion of the class is appealed to to decide whether this is a good way or not. The pupils are shown that talking and disorderly movements, etc., interfere with the working and efficiency of the class, and are required to co-operate in rendering their class a model one.
Certain rules are laid down to be observed in playing in the yard and on the field. These are all made for the well-being and proper protection of the pupils, and this is carefully pointed out at the time of laying down these rules, so that in this case the pupils themselves are generally found to see that there is no very flagrant violation of them.
When a pupil is careless and troublesome in regard to his conduct, his teacher talks to him in private at first ; then, in case of necessity, reproves him publicly and gives him a demerit mark. He is then reported to the Head Master, who after a proper repri- mand punishes him by depriving him of some privilege, such as playing in the field, &c, or he is required to remain in his seat for a certain time after school.
Where these modes of treatment fail, the parent is communicated with. His influ- ence is invoked, and if the pupil still continues obdurate, he is suspended for a shorter or longer period. In case the pupil still remains careless, and interferes with the efficient working of the class, the parent is requested to remove him from school.
All offences in the yard or field are visited by the offender being deprived of some privilege pertaining to the yard or field.
Frequent opportunities are taken to give lessons on morals. The necessity of doing to others as we would have others do to us, of always speaking the truth, etc., is incul- cated.
Removal for misconduct and suspensions are extremely rare ; the former does not average one per year, and the latter two or three per session.
The methods of keeping order and of securing discipline outlined above are so effica- cious, that were it not for the Normal Students allowing their classes to get into trouble (nearly always by being unable to keep them busy), there would be very few pimishments for misconduct. The class is taught the habit of behaving, and this is generally sufficient to prevent any grievous breach of discipline, even when it has little or nothing to do.
Girls' School.
To ensure the understanding of the rules of the school by the new pupils, and also to remind the old ones of their obligation in that respect, the whole school is assembled as soon as fully organized at the commencement of each Session, and the style of conduct expected from each scholar expounded in plain and unmistakable language ; also the necessary permissions, prohibitions, and regulations for the maintenance of good order are emphatically laid down.
In cases of violation of any of the rules, different methods are adopted according to the gravity of the offence.
First, and perhaps in some cases most effectual, may be mentioned kind and gentle admonition in private by teacher of class, or head mistress, or an occasional moral lecture to class.
■SI
4-3 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
Other punishments are frequently resorted to, as public censure, sitting drill, loss of recess, detention after school-hours, misconduct marks, suspension for a short time, of which the pupils' parents are notified.
Corporal punishrm ,it is never inflict. <\.
If, after repeated warnings and punishments, a pupil still persists in gross miscon- duct, so that her influence for evil materially affects the class, or if it be proved that a child is morally bad, her parents are requested to remove her from the school.

The subjects prepared after school hours are : — •
1. Reading. — First, Second and Third Divisions.
2. Spelling. — First, Second and Third Divisions.
3. English Grammar. — First, Second and Third Divisions prepare definitions. First, Second and Third Divisions occasionally write short exercises on work previously taught in class, and prepare derivations.

(4) Discipline of the School, and How Enforced. The discipline of the school is maintained chiefly —
1. By appealing to the ambition, sense of duty, and honour of the pupils.
2. By laying before the pupils clear and well-defined rules, and adopting a system of marking which records all infringements of the rules.
3. By offering rewards for careful obedience to all rules.
4. The fear of being suspended or expelled from the advantages of the school seems to be sufficient punishment.
5. No extra lessons are given as punishment.
6. Corporal punishment does not exist under any circumstances.
(5) Encouragement for Proficiency.
1. The marks registered for the work of each day, and from these marks the appear- ance of names on the honour roll.
2. The promotions, from a lower to a higher division.
3. The prizes allowed by the Department at the end of each scholastic year.
The tests of proficiency are : —
1. The examination by teacher of all written work done by pupils.
2. The oral examinations, or drill on every-day work.
3. The half-yearly written examinations.
(6) Number of Teachers and Nature of Daily Work.
1. There are four regular teachers in each school, each teacher having full charge of a division, consisting of two sections ; each teacher teaching all subjects taught in his oi- lier division except Music, Drawing, Writing, and Drill. In addition to the work of teaching, the assistant-teachers (three in each school) superintend the pupils during recreation hours, both in the halls of the building and in the play-grounds. From 8:40 a.m. until 1 p. in. the pupils arc constantly under supervision, one of the teachers of each school always remaining during noon recess.
86
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
Each teacher criticises the work of the Normal students who teach in his or her division of the Model School, taking notes upon the students' manner, method, etc. Two copies of these criticisms are prepared each day — one to be entered in a book kept for the purpose, and one sent to the Principal, Mr. MacCabe. The teacher in charge gives his ■or her criticism orally to the students after 4 p.m.
The Head Master and Head Mistress, besides teaching all subjects taught in First Division except Music, Drawing, Writing, Book-keeping, Chemistry, and Drill, are required to visit the other divisions so often as to enable them to have a thorough know- ledge of the working of each division. They are also required to prepare, in addition to the daily report of the Normal students, a full report of the work of each Normal student done in Model School during whole Session ; the latter report completed at the close of each Session of Normal School.
In addition to the regular Model School Teachers there are special Masters for Music, Drawing, Writing, Book-keeping, and Drill. These Masters teach their own special subjects in both schools, and are responsible for the pupils' progress.

S. — Inspection of Toronto Normal School, 18S0. Report of Inspectors Buchan and Marling.
We, the undersigned members of the Central Committee, have the honour to report that, in accordance with your directions, we inspected the Toronto Normal School on the 25th and 26th November last, and also took part in the examinations at the close of the session.
On account of temporary changes in the programme, to make room for Prof. Bell's Lectures on Elocution, we were unable to see as much of the work of the Principal and of the Mathematical and Science Master as we wished ; and, as our visit happened to be paid in a week during which the Teachers-in-training were occupied in observing the methods employed by the Model School masters and mistresses, we did not hear them teach or criticise one another's teaching. For these reasons, our report must be under- stood not to cover all the work of the Normal and Model Schools.
There were about a hundred Second-Class Teachers-in-training. Considering their number, the shortness of the session, and other difficulties, the results seem to be as good as can reasonably be expected. It is all-important for this class that the Model School should be thoroughly efficient, and we are pleased to be able to express a very decided opinion that it is so in both the boys' and the girls' departments.
There were only seven in attendance in the First-Class. The smallness of this num- ber, and the fact that many of the Collegiate Institutes and some of the High Schools now prepare candidates for First-Class Certificates, raise the question of the advisability of ceasing to give non-professional instruction to this class of students at the expense of the
87
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. .3). A. 1882
country. If this were clone, the whole time of the masters could be devoted to profes- sional work. A good, short professional course might be devised for the benefit, not only of candidates for First-Class Certificates, but also of persons intending to teach in High Schools. We think it advisable, however, that before any change of this kind is made, a little time be suffered to elapse, in order that the etl'ect of the recent alterations in the programme for First-Class candidates may become evident.
Professor Bell having been appointed during this session to teach Heading and Elocution, we paid special attention to his work. We have much pleasure in stating that his services are of very great value, and that we consider his appointment one of the very best ever made in connection with the Normal Schools.

9. — Inspection of Ottawa Normal Scuool, 1881. Extract trimi Report of Inspectors Bicelum and Glashan on Ottawa JYormal School.
We have the honour to present the following report as a result of our inspection of the Ottawa Normal and Model Schools, and our examination of the teachers-in-training thereat during the third ami fourth weeks of the month of March, and of a second inspectoral visit paid by one of us on the 26th and 27th days of April.
We have, in the first place, much pleasure in stating that the Principal and masters of the Normal School appear to have done their work with zeal and efficiency.
The Model School has this year, for the first time, been equipped with a full staff. On its efficiency that of the Normal School largely depends. If, too, the teachers em- ployed are not as good as those in the Ottawa Public and Separate Schools, it wall be impossible to keep up the attendance and to make it self-supporting. We have accord- ingly devoted considerable time to ascertaining its condition.

10. — Inspection of Toronto Normal School, 1881.
Report of Inspector Marling.
I have the honour to report that I inspected the Normal School at Toronto on the lGth and 17th days of March last, spending one day (March 18th) in the Model School. There were present in the First or Senior Division, 7 students and 1 lady.
" " Second or Junior " 92 " 60 being ladies.
The work of the Session is conducted according to a time-table, which appears to be judiciously arranged, and generally adhered to. Professor Bell's instructions in Elocu- tion, continuing for six weeks and occupying a part of each day, broke in upon the short Session to a considerable extent. At the time of my visit the Principal was giving instruction in reading, Mr. Bell having proceeded to Ottawa.
I subjoin the time-table for two days, Wednesday and Thursday : —

19. By the Drill Instructor: Second Division, gentlemen.
I spent one day (March 18th) in the Model School, where I witnessed the teaching of eight classes by the Model School teachers.
As the result of my observations I beg leave to report as follows : —
1. The lectures were for the most part able and thorough, accompanied with adequate illustrations and black-board notes. In the lecture numbered 15 it would, I think, have been an improvement if a model of the eye had been used, and the technical terms " cerebro-spmal," "ciliary processes," etc., had been written down on the black-board. All physiological lectures should have the fullest illustration by model. Many candidates at the Professional Examination, trusting to the ear alone, wrote " cerigo-spinal " and the like. The practical teaching under criticism was one of the most valuable exercises, and as much time as possible should be given to it.
2. The teaching in the Model School appears to be careful, correct and energetic. The discipline and order are excellent. In the Third Division boys I noticed, occasionally, such expressions as "Craig don't know the position," etc., " Lillie don't know," etc., " this is connected to that," allowed to pass. Teachers cannot be too careful in using correct language.
3. The rooms in the Normal School require painting and tinting.
4. The rooms in the Model Schools are, with the exception of the large assembly rooms, for the most part quite unsuitable as " Model School rooms," those upstairs being extremely faulty as to light and ventilation. The teachers do all that lies in their power t^> remedy these defects, which, however, are too radical to be removed except by a recon- struction of the building.
5. I recommend that tiie sessions of the Normal School be lengthened. Very many of the candidates come up extremely deficient in important rudiments of education, as I b >.ve had occasion to report in a special memorandum on this subject. They require more
ne i. r laboratory'practice ; f, >r practical teaching with criticism; for training in reading :
f)0
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
for getting rid of vulgarisms or solecisms in speech and writing ; for improvement in pen- manship, music and drawing. It might be well, at present, to have two sessions in the year ; ere long, however, I hope to see a whole year of Normal School training made compulsory for a Provincial life certificate.
6. In view of the fact that many now squeeze through the Intermediate Examina- tion with very low marks in such important subjects as Grammar and Arithmetic, I strongly recommend that, in the case of candidates for Teachers' Certificates, a respectable minimum in these subjects should be rigorously exacted, and that sub-examiners be instructed accordingly. Candidates should write " For Teaching Certificate " on their envelopes, and account should be taken of this in reading the papers.
7. I recommend that the teachers of Music and Drawing in the Normal Schools be requested to select from time to time such students as possess special aptitude and talent in these subjects, and that those so recommended be given the opportunity to improve themselves in schools of art in the city, and that, after examination, they receive special certificates of qualification in these important but neglected subjects.
8. I recommend that the masters of the Normal School be allowed the opportunity to become acquainted with the system of corresponding institutions in the United States, with a view to introducing improvements where practicable.
In conclusion, I have much pleasure in reporting that the Normal School is doing very valuable work.
~. High Schools.
Report of High School Inspectors on Resolutions passed by the High School Section of Ontario Teachers' Association, on High School Questions sub- mitted by the Minister of Education.
(1) Report of J. A. AfcLellan, Esq., LL.D., Inspector.
First Resolution*: " That the fixed grant to Schools should be one-fourth the amount annually paid for teachers' salaries."
This resolution appears to have been framed specially in the interests of the larger schools. But why should the schools in the cities aiad populous towns be further aided at the expense of the smaller but equally efficient schools 1 Under the proposed plan a few of the larger schools would receive the lion's share of the Legislative grant, and a serious injustice would be done to many excellent schools which are even now treated with scant liberality. As an illustration of this let us take the Hamilton Collegiate Institute and the Caledonia High- School. In Hamilton there is, I believe, no fifth class maintained in the Public Schools ; their highest aim is to fit pupils to pass the High School " Entrance Examination." All who pass this examination are ranked as High School pupils, and their teachers are of course called High School teachers, though not a few of them must be doing, in fact, nothing but Public School work. The Hamilton school, then, has 19 teachers and pays $15,000 in salaries, and therefore its minimum grant would be §3,750. On the other hand, the Caledonia school employs three teachers, and pays salaries to the amount of $2,100 ; its minimum grant would therefore be $525, or less than one-seventh of the minimum grant to the Hamilton school. Now, as Hamilton passed 28 pupils at the last Intermediate Examination and Caledonia passed 24, it may be pertinently asked whether there is any known principle on which such a distribution can be justified. But further, why should not Toronto, Ottawa, Loudon, and other cities decide to follow the example of Hamilton, and rank all pupils above the fourth class as High School pupils? In that event Toronto would probably receive the handsome mini- mum of $10,000 ; and by the time each of the other cities received its "minimum," there would be but little left to meet the claims of many thoroughly good schools. But even if the other cities do not imitate the Hamilton system, enough has been adduced to show- that the mode of distribution proposed in the resolution would result in gross injustice to
* The resolutions appear also on pane 1l'7. with the proceedings of the Ontario Teachers' Association.
91
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
such schools as Barrie, Bowmanville, Port Hope, Caledonia, and a score of others, which are, in every department, doing as good work as are any of the larger schools.
I may add, that the simple plan of giving a minimum of 84-00 or $450 to each school, which the Department of Education has long followed, is infinitely preferable to the one proposed ; it does substantial justice to the schools and to the counties which contribute so liberally to their support.
Second Resolution: "A portion of the grant should be distributed on general average attendance."
As a portion of the grant is now, and always has been, distributed " on genera1 average attendance," this resolution must mean that the present payment (about $2.70) per unit of average attendance should be increased, or, at least, should not be diminished. In either case, it recommends what will work a serious injury to education and a grave wrong to many good schools. For the temptation of an increased money-grant will renew — indeed it has already renewed — the old tendency to crowd ill-prepared pupils into the High Schools, to the injury of both High and Public Schools. And further, the practical effect of the proposed plan will be to foster the large schools at the expense of the smaller, and of their own efficiency. For example : Hamilton, under its peculiar system, has an average of over 400, and would receive about $1,200 under this head, while Caledonia, with an average attendance of about 60, would receive $180. The total grant to Hamilton by the schemes proposed in these two resolutions would be $4,950, and to Caledonia $705 — and as the latter passed 24 pupils at the Intermediate, while the former passed 28, it seems to me that we have, by the recognized equitable principle of payment on results, the curious proportion 24 : 28 : : 705 : 4,950. This proportion cannot be verified by any known principles of mathematics; neither can the proposed "apportion- ment " be vindicated on any recognized principles of justice.
It is of the highest importance to the cause of sound education that the tendency to deplete and weaken the Public Schools should be removed. Why should the Department encourage by such a premium the crowding into overcrowded High Schools of a vast number of pupils who do not need a High School education — who never, in fact, reach the point of passing the Intermediate Examination1! So long as the grant per pupil in High Schools is greater than that given to the Public School pupil, this tendency is aggravated. .The original recommendation on this point made by the High School Inspectors is a wise one, namely, that only $1 per pupil (per annum) should be paid on average attendance in the Lower School. Even then the High Schools in populous cities, which gather in from the Public School all who get beyond fourth class work, would have an advantage. No High School ought, under this head, to be credited with a higher average than 250. At all events, if the tendency in question is not checked, there will be a recurrence of the evils so forcibly depicted in former reports of High School Inspectors.
The Second Resolution further proposes that " A grant of $3 per pupil should be made on the average attendance of Intermediate pupils — i. e., those who pass the Intermediate Examination."
The Intermediate is the most important examination instituted by the Department ; it has worked a complete revolution in the High Schools of the country, bringing up the
1 r schools and making still better the good ones; it is the most important tesl of
ti xcellence of the schools. I do not hesitate to say that the standing of any
school may be fairly determined by the results of the Intermediate Examination. And yt .students who pass this examination are to be ranked — in a money-grant based on payment on results — as nearly on a level with those who pass the Entrance Examination. I need not now enlarge on the question. But I am prepared to uphold the Intermediate Examination as a most important factor in promoting efficiency in our High Schools, and to show the injustice of "rewarding" success at such examinations in the way proposed. There are many first-rate schools, which, though not able to secure the Col- Li giate Institute grant of $750 by reporting an "average of 60 in Latin," are neverthe- 1 teii inferior to many of the Institutes. The rights of these schools were in a
measure protected under the late mode of distributing the grant, which gave them i fail- apportionment under tic head of "Results of Inspection." That plan has been
92
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
abandoned, and now the chief protection of these schools rests on the " fixed grant " and the Intermediate Examination. Holding their own against the large Institutes, tbey can always be fairly successful at this examination ; and if a liberal money-grant is made to depend on its results, they may win a substantial reward for their good work. It seems to me, therefore, that the resolution under consideration proposes to degrade the Intermediate Examination to utter insignificance, and to strike another blow at the many superior High Schools, which already meet with scant justice in competition with the Institutes. Instead, then, of a " grant of $3 per pupil " — scarcely enough to pay the expenses of the examination — there should be, in my opinion, a grant of at least $10 per pupil. ,
It may not be out of place to add that the " Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York," — who have charge of secondary education in that State — have for some years pursued a system of examinations similar to our own, and originated for similar causes. They found that the distribution of the fund for higher education on the basis of average attendance alone, worked very unsatisfactorily. Thousands of pupils ignorant of the rudiments of learning were gathered into the High Schools, and reported as doing academic work, and as a consequence, both the High and Public Schools suffered degradation. A Primary and an Intermediate Examination — corresponding respectively with our Entrance and Intermediate — were established, and the fund accruing for higher education (about 840,000) was made to depend on the "Intermediate" Examination.
The results, as I am informed by the highest educational authorities in that State, have proved eminently satisfactory, though there was at first the usual outcry about "cramming," and "high pressure," and " suppression of individuality," and "ignoring the grand end of education," etc. From what I have been able to gather, I am prepared to say that not an educator of any eminence could now be found who would venture to deny the beneficial effects of the New York " Intermediate," and recommend a return to the system which it has superseded.
Third Resolution: "Collegiate Institutes to continue, but basis broadened by including girls, and by recognizing other studies as well as Greek and Latin."
If girls are also to be counted, in determining the Latin test, the number of Collegiate Institutes will be rapidly increased. Even now multitudes of boys are forced into the study of Latin — a marked evil. The resolution proposes to aggravate the evil by encouraging the forcing process to be applied to girls. I should say that under this proposal, at least twenty schools will be ready within a year to be exalted into " Institutes," and $15,000 will be paid to emphasize an existing and acknowledged evil. The phrase "by including other studies as well as Latin and Greek " seems very vague. Does it mean that "other studies" are to be taken along with Latin and Greek? That is the case now. We pay a premium on the study or nominal study of Latin, but it is not in the regulations that Latin is alone sufficient. Does it mean that an avei-age of 60 in other studies will do 1 Or does it mean that the average may be partly made up of students in Latin, and partly of students in other studies ? It seems to me that the resolution does not contribute a single definite or practical suggestion towards the solu- tion of the somewhat difficult question of Collegiate Institutes. This much, however, is certain — Latin must no longer be kept in its supreme position. Science also must be recog- nized. In a recent letter to the Minister, I recommended the forming of a purely Science Group for the Lower School course, and I offer the opinion that a Science Group should be put at least on a par with Latin — e. g., Chemistry with its application to Agri- culture, Elements of Botany and Physiology. In regard to Collegiate Institutes, the following conditions at least should be insisted upon : —
(1) Suitable buildings, out-buildings, grounds, and appliances for physical training.
(2) Chemical laboratory, with all the necessary chemicals and apparatus for teaching the subject properly.
(3) At least four masters — specialists in the four departments — Classics, Mathematics, Science, and Modern Languages.
(4) A necessary condition should be that the sciences (Chemistry, Botany, and Physics)
93
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
should bo taught experimentally. The teaching of Chemistry now is, for the most part, exceedingly imperfect. The Department should he satisfied not only that the necessary appliances exist, but that the subjects are thoroughly and practically taught. If all these conditions be fulfilled, the Department might make a special grant equal (say) in amount to 20 per cent, of the salaries of the four masters. In addition to the above four con- ditions, there might be a fifth condition, namely, the old test of 60 average in Latin, or two alternatives — thus :
(a) An average of 60 boys in Latin, or
(b) An average of 60 boys in the Science Group, or
(c) The Latin Group and Science Group to aggregate an average of 60. The pupils in Latin to be bona fide students of the subject, and the like in the Science Group. The general principle on which the extra grant should be given is the equipment and general excellence of the school.
Fourth Resolution — " Minimum grant not to be less than $-100, and maximum grant not to be more than the highest sum paid to any school this year."
In view of what I have already advanced, this would seem to require but little com- ment. It seems to be a concession to smaller schools, whose grants were likely to be little or nothing under the operation of these resolutions, which would certainly make the minimum grant to such schools very small. Unless there, is to be given a large amount per unit of average attendance, I see no urgent reason for fixing a maximum, i. e., if I am right in the foregoing views.
Fifth Resolution — " A minimum fee of §5 per annum should be established."
It may be desirable to have a small fee imposed in many or most of the High Schools ; but I venture to suggest that this is not a matter for legislation.
The schools are sustained in a large measure by local effort, and if those who bear the burden choose to make them free, I cannot see why the Legislature should interfere. The increased cost of maintenance will probably soon compel most of the High School Boards to impose a fee ; but this question should, I think, be left to those whose duty it is to provide higher education. I understand that several of the counties give liberal sub- sidies to their High Schools on condition that no fee shall be imposed.
Sixth Resolution — On this I will merely remark that a suitable elementary text-book in English History has been prescribed by the Department for preparatory study in the Public Schools ; I refer to the introductory text-book (by Creighton) in the series, " Epochs of English History."
Seventh Resolution — " Course of study in High Schools should be made more flexi- ble, especially in the case of girls, to secure the payment of greater attention to the higher English branches."
I believe that all girls of ordinary ability and industry can get up the present course sufficiently' well to pass the Intermediate Examination. Already girls can substi- tute Latin or French or German for the group — Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and Book-keeping. As before remarked, there must be a new scientific group formed — Chemistry, Botany and Physiology. Girls might take this instead of Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and Book-keeping. Or if they wished to devote themselves more fully to the higher English branches, they might drop both these groups, but they should not be licensed as teachers of Public Schools. Or they might drop the Mathematical group on the same condition. Teachers should know something about Mathematics and Science. Many of them who now pass the Intermediate know but little of these branches. In my opinion theory about the inability of girls to learn Elementary Mathematics (except in few instances) is groundless. It is true in instances where girls are obliged to learn Greek, Latin, French, German, and English, besides a modicum of History, Geography, etc., and piano practice at home for two or three hours a day. It is no wonder that such girls
94
45 Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
have no taste, or no room in the overburdened brain, for Mathematics. I would suggest that girls not intending to become teachers might be allowed to take any one of the three groups, (n) Mathematics, (6) the (new) Science Group, (c) the present Natural Philosophy Group, and that those intending to be teachers should take Mathematics, and either of the other two groups (b) and (e).
Eighth Resolution — " Too much Latin and French for the Intermediate. Pro Archia, or its equivalent, should be dropped."
I do not concur in this opinion. If any advantage is to arise from the study of Latin by the great number who are now engaged in it, it must be mainly from the acqui- sition of a vocabulary and a fair facility in rendering easy Latin into idiomatic English. I do not believe in the grammatical idolatry which marks some masters. Of the thou- sands of pupils who are studying Latin, comparatively few go beyond the Intermediate work ; with the passing of the Intermediate, or before, their Latin course is finished. Why should such pupils waste time and energy over niceties of grammar or construction ? If we are bound to have Latin studied by so many, let it be studied so as to have as great an educational value as may be under the circumstances.
Ninth Resolution — " Opinion is re-affirmed that the tendency of the Intermediate is to give undue prominence to Mathematics, and to prevent other subjects, such as Reading, Writing and Composition, from receiving that attention to which their importance entitles them."
I shall probably take another opportunity of discussing this proposition. I do not believe it represents the opinion of the masters in general ; I am certain that it does not express the opinion of the successful Mathematical teachers, who are best qualified to judge. For the present I remark : —
(1) It is gratifying to learn that the Intermediate has given prominence to any study ; for even prominence in Mathematics is a symptom of intellectual life.
(i) I have found that generally from one-fourth to nearly one-third of the school time is taken up with Mathematical work. I do not think this is disproportionate in view of their practical value and of their worth in discipline.
(3) In some cases, indeed, greater attention must be given to Mathematics by both teachers and students. I mean in the case of those who enter school with but little preliminary knowledge of the subject, and yet expect to be prepared for the Intermediate in less than half a year. It is surely not the intention of the Department that such crude material should be fashioned into teachers in six months.
(4) Already many get through the examinations who are very deficient in Arithmetic ' etc., as the Normal School Masters and Inspectors can testify. What will be the con- sequences if the examination papers were made easier, or more mechanical 1 It would appear, on the testimony of the Intermediate Examiners, that, with the existing standard in the other branches, the Mathematical group is about the only one for which pupils cannot be "crammed." That group requires study, reflection, time, and therefore a measure of intelligence is secured. Reduce that group to the level of one of the " cram " kind, and all faith in the value of the Intermediate as a test of qualified teachers will be destroyed.
(5) The argument is implied that too much time to Mathematics means too little time for Reading, Writing and Composition.
I know the schools well, and what they are doing. I knew the schools well ten years ago, and what they were doing. The pupils of ten years ago, when Mathematics were not prominent — when, in fact, there was but little good Mathematical teaching in the Province — were no better readers, writers and composers than those of the present day. On the contrary, I affirm that the latter days are better than the former in every
95
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
particular. The students of to-day are not only better mathematicians, but (I believe largely as a consequence of this) better readers and composers, better in Classics and Modern Languages — in a word, they are of altogether higher attainments and higher intelligence. I challenge any one to produce, from the High .Schools of to-day, any such examples of gross illiteracy and absence of intelligence as those given by Professor Young and others in the days when Mathematics, by no stretch of language, could be declared " prominent."
The University authorities everywhere declare that not only in Mathematics, but in every other department, the matriculating students of to-day are very greatly in advance of those of a few years ago. Take the results of the recent examination in the University of Toronto as a refutation of this resolution as to the burden of Mathematics. There were 141 candidates for honours ; of these there were 90 candidates for honours in Mathematics.
Of these in Mathematics, 60 went up for honours in at least one other department, and 33 went up for honours in at least two other departments. If the mathematical men were over-weighted, how did so many of them master so much additional honour work 1 If five-eighths of the school time were devoted to Mathematics, they must have made remarkably good use of the remaining three-eighths. Or is it that the increased power and intelligence given by the study of Mathematics enable the student to acquire other branches with great facility ?
In conclusion, I cannot but think that the course recommended by most of the preceding resolutions would hasten the return of evils from which we have but recently escaped ; and, certainly, their general tenor is in favour of the larger schools and against the smaller schools. It is not, I think, the policy of the Department to build up a few large — shall I say, unwieldy 1 — schools in the chief centres of population. To give equality of OPPORTUNITY to as many as possible is the grand principle which underlies our system of education ; and therefore good schools in many centres has been and should continue to be the policy of the Department.
J. A. McLellan,
High School Inspector.
(2) Report of S. Arthur Marling, Esq., if. A., Inspector.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of letter (9107 H.) enclosing a copy of the " Result of the consideration by the High School Section of the. Ontario Teachers' Association, at its recent session, of the memorandum submitted by the Minister as to certain questions respecting Collegiate Institutes and High Schools." As instructed, I now beg leave to submit some observations thereon.
First Resolution — " The fixed grant to the High Schools to be one-fourth of the amount paid annually for teachers' salaries."
I am not sure that I understand this resolution, not seeing how one-fourth of a vari- able amount can be a "fixed grant." The sum paid for salaries in 1878 was $223,010 ; in 1879, 8241,097 ; in 1880, 82 17,394. But whatever it means, I submit—
(a) That there is no good reason for departing from the practice of having a small fixed grant, which should not, in my opinion, be more, in the present state of the Legis- lative grant, than 8450 a year. This sum, with the municipal supplement, ensures the stability of the smaller schools, which in their limited sphere are doing valuable work, and deserve to have their interests protected.
(b) I believe it to be against the public interest to adopt such a novel principle as is contemplated without fuller discussion and more careful consideration than have b en
96
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
possible in this case. I have heard, moreover, that the High School Masters are by no means agreed on this new departure. That its adoption at present would be likely to embarrass School Boards will I think appear, if the Minister will be good enough to refer to the last column of the accompanying table, in which are given the percentages of the salaries paid by the Government Grant in several schools. Is it possible that the High School Masters' Section contemplate equalizing these percentages — reducing or raising them to the uniform standard of 25 per cent. ?
(c) I submit that the Collegiate Institutes are sufficiently fostered by their large double fixed grant, with its municipal supplements, and that the time has come to con- sider the case of these schools, which, though not quite up to the letter of the requirements for Collegiate Institutes, are doing as good work and are as well equipped as some of them, and in many cases doing better work and better equipped. I respectfully ask the atten- tion of the Minister to a list of these in the table already referred to, and to their equipment and their general character. Is it not worth while considering whether some of these, in view of their admirable accommodation, complete outfit and adequate staff, with large Upper and Lower Schools, should not be placed in a distinct class and receive an additional grant ?
(d) It is my belief that schools should be encouraged to provide good accommodation and outfit, and that in any distribution of the grant, distinct account should be taken of this. The encouragement given by the Government in the past has stimulated local Boards to increased efforts, and to this stimulus are owing the many fine and well- equipped school buildings so conspicuous at this day in the towns of Ontario.
(e) From the table it appears that the lowest percentage, on amount paid for sala- ries received from the Government Grant, is that paid to Hamilton. In this city the High School Entrance Examination is the limit of the Public School course. Four divisions of the Collegiate Institute are taught in the Central School building, and, with the excep- tion of a small modicum of the High School programme, are virtually Public Schools. Their teachers, however, rank as Collegiate Institute Teachers, and the Institute, under the proposed arrangement, but for the saving clause in Resolution IV., would receive an additional share of the grant to the extent of $750. I do not think it would be well to offer a premium to the Boards of other cities to follow this example. The perfecting of the Public Schools of the cities, by raising them to the highest attainable degree of excellence, is surely more to be desired than crowding the Collegiate Institutes with a host of boys and girls who are never likely to get even so far as the " Intermediate " forms.
(/) Any radical change in the distribution of the grant which would violently dis- turb existing regulations would, I think, be unwise at present, in view of the contemplated re-arrangement of the Collegiate Institute basis.
Second Resolution — "That a portion of the grant should be distributed on the general average attendance, and that a small amount, say $3 per pupil, should be granted on the average attendance during the preceding year of those who pass the Intermediate Exami- nation."
(a) I trust that the Minister of Education will recur to the payment on general average attendance of an amount nearly equal to that paid to pupils attending the Public Schools, i.e., about $1 per annum. To increase this to any great extent is to encourage Head Masters to open their doors too widely at the Entrance Examination. The High School Inspectors found evidences of loose marking in the direction of "marking up" at the last Entrance Examination.
(b) With regard to the $3 named as the sum to be paid for Upper School average, while I think that the undue competition between schools, which has been fostered by a large money-grant to successful "Intermediates," should be discouraged, I believe the sum named somewhat small, and would recommend $i, i.e., $2 for each half year under this head.
97
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
Third Resolution — "That Collegiate Institutes should continue to exist, but that the basis of establishment and continuance should be broadened bj7 including girls as well as boys, and by recognizing other studies as well as Latin and Greek."
I believe that it will be necessary to change the basis on which Collegiate Institutes are differentiated from the other High Schools, and submit that the requirements should be as follows :
(1) First-rate accommodation as to buildings and premises to be kept up, with gymnasium and library.
( l1 ) A full staff of at least four male teachers of proved ability in their several departments.
(3) Full provision for the teaching of the four great departments of Classics, Mathe- matics, Natural Sciences and Modern Languages.
(4) A laboratory and other appliances for the practical study of Natural Sciences.
(5) That French and German together, or Chemistry, Botany and Physiology together, be accounted on a par with Latin, but that (a) an average attendance of pupils of either sex, bona fide students in the subject, be requisite ; and that (b) a certain stage of proficiency be reached before they are recognized as meeting the requirement in (c); this proficiency to be tested by the Intermediate Examination, which should, as applied for simply High School purposes, be limited strictly to the range of the two lower forms. As applied as a test to ascertain the qualification of teachers, the Intermediate papers should, in my opinion, have a special and additional set of questions for teachers only.
If all these conditions were rigorously exacted, I do not think there would be any danger of unduly multiplying the number of Collegiate Institutes ; the farce of "qualify- ing Latin" would lose its attractions ; pupils would not take u,p a study without reason- able prospect of making such attainment in it as would be of real benefit to them ; and Science-teaching could bo made of real educational value as to both knowledge and discipline. The so-called " Science group," as now constituted, is a sham, and injurious, in my opinion, except in a few cases, rather than beneficial, to those who pursue it with the idea that they are learning "Science."
Fourth Resolution — "That no school should receive a total grant of less than S400 or more than the highest sum paid to any school this year."
I have already recommended the continuation of the fixed grant. I am unable to offer any opinion as to the necessity of a maximum sum. If the grant on the general average attendance be kept down to SI, I do not imagine there will be any danger of a "superior limit" being necessary.
Fifth Resolution — " A fee of say $5 to be compulsory," etc.
I believe that fees ought to be paid by High School pupils, and that unless the fee is made uniform throughout all, there will be a danger of fresh touting for pupils, which lias already been a discredit to certain High Schools. I think this resolution might, there is no legal incompetency, be made a regulation of the Department.;
Sixth Resolution — "Text-book on History, for entrance, desirable. Entrance Exami- nation to remain as it is."
Creighton's "Epoch Primer of English History" was placed on the authorized list of Public School text-books some time ago, specially for this purpose.
S uenth Resolution — "Lower School course to be made more flexible, especially for girls, and to secure more attention to the higher English branches."
If the ordinary Intermediate certificate is to continue to give authority as a non-pro- fessional pass for teachers, it would, in my opinion, be unwise to drop any of the small
98
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
amount of Lower School Mathematics required. In the case of girls who do not intend to be teachers, but merely to enter the Upper School, I am in favour of allowing them to exercise an option between Mathematics and some other subject, or to take less Mathe- matics (i.e., Euclid or Algebra might be omitted).
Eighth Resolution — "Cicero pro Archia" and a portion of the French to be struck out."
I trust the Minister will not concur with this, for the following reasons :
( 1 ) The amount of Latin prescribed was settled by the High School Inspectors after full deliberation and discussion, and I do not know that they have changed theic opinion.
(2) The Intermediate Examination, with its classical standard fixed, has been accepted by many Corporate Examining Boards, and it would be foolish and disastrous to curtail it to the extent desired, or to any extent.
(3) One object in requiring the prescribed amount of Latin is to give the student more acquaintance with the subject-matter of the authors and a wider vocabulary than he could otherwise have. For my own part, I would rather increase the amount of trans- lation, have sight translations, and dispense, at this stage of the student's course, with much of the grammatical and somewhat fantastic learning that takes up too much of the boys' time in some of the High Schools at present.
Ninth Resolution — " Affirms that the tendency of the Intermediate Examination is to give undue prominence to Mathematics, and to prevent other subjects, such as Reading, Writing and Composition, from receiving that attention to which their importance entitles them."
I do not think this is the tendency of the Intermediate in itself, but that such has been the result of crowding forward to the Intermediate, without sufficient time being given in the lower forms, will hardly be denied. Let a well-qualified pupil pass the Entrance Examination, begin at once the High School course, spend two full years in faithful work, and I do not believe he will, if of average ability, find any difficulty, under skilful teaching, in qualifying himself for the Intermediate Examination. The trouble is that in some cases the preparatory work is not well divided, or not soon enough begun ; and in other cases, that pupils come in expecting to be "ground up" for the Intermediate in six months, if not in three months, and will touch nothing that will not tell at their examination. If a certificate of having attended a High School for two years were exacted of all candidates for a teacher's certificate, it would go far to correct the innu- merable evils of this rage to get a certificate, and to get it in the least possible time.

11. Teachers Associations — Proceedings of 1880 and 1881*
Ontario Teachers' Association, 1880.
Extracts from the Proceedings of Convention, held on 10th, 11th and, 12th August.
The Chairman introduced Hon. Adam Crooks, Minister of Education, to the Convention.
Mr. Crooks cordially welcomed the Convention to the Normal School building. He said that he warmly sympathized with their efforts, and that he had always watched the proceedings of former Conventions with great interest, in order to ascertain the opinions of the educators of the country. He also read statistics showing that the number of First and Second Class Certificates was on the increase, while the number of Third Class Certificates was decreasing.
On Recent School Legislation.
An address by Mr. Millar on this subject was followed by a discussion, and it was
Resolved, — That while the members of this Association highly estimate the efforts made to secure improvement in the training of teachers by means of County Model Schools, and the encouragement given to the establishment of County Associations, they cannot but feel called upon to condemn, as retrogressive steps, the withdrawal from School Boards of the power to levy rates for school accommodation, and the discretionary power given to some School Boards to curtail the summer holidays.
A Committee on Legislation was also appointed to report to the Minister annually, or oftener, the views of the teaching profession on those questions which are, or might be, brought before the Provincial Legislature.
The subject of the address of the President (Mr. R. Alexander) at the evening session, was The Early History of the Association.
Mr John S. Clark, of Boston, delivered an able and exhaustive address on Industrial Drawing, exhibiting a large collection of drawings and models.
On County Model Schools. Resolved, —
1. That the Head Masters of the County Model Schools should be the holders of First Class Provincial Certificates.
2. That an extra room for Model School purposes be considered indispensable.
3. That the Legislative Grant be not less than f!200 per annum, and that the County Councils be required to raise an equivalent, either by making a grant for the purpose or by imposing a rate bill on teachers-in-training not to exceed $10 per term ; and in the case of cities, that the Board of Education be invested with the same powers as County Councils in regard to the imposition of fees.
■i. That the Model School term shall begin on the 1st of September and end on the 30th of November.
5. That Boards of Trustees be recommended to engage an assistant during the Model School term, in order to enable the Head Master to devote more attention to the students of the County Model School.
6. That Head Masters, in addition to delivering the lectures prescribed for County Model Schools, be required to carefully supervise the method of teaching pursued by the .students themselves, and to award the marks for teaching given them while in attendance.
* For Financial Statement, see page c>2. \2<)
Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
7. That instead of the present maximum of bwenty-five teachers-in-training at each Model School, Public School [nspectors be instructed to admit only qualified candidates to the number of not more than live for each room used for Model School purposes.
8. That it is desirable to have a convention of Model School Masters called at some central point to discuss the best means of increasing the efficiency of the reports.
Public School Section. Resolved, —
1. That the discretionary power given to Public School Inspectors to permit Third Class Teachers, holding Intermediate and Third Class Certificates, to go up for their professional training for a Second Class Certificate at the end of a year's experience in
teaching, should be withdrawn.
2. That the present method of granting permits and permanent certificates to Third Class Teachers is liable to abuse, and should be altered so as to afford a reasonable, guarantee that those teachers securing these privileges are worthy of them.
3. That the votes for Public School Trustees should be by ballot.
4. That the age of candidates on entering the profession of teaching should be — for females, eighteen (IS), and for males, twenty (20) years.
Mr. S. McAllister read the Report of a Committee appointed to confer with the Minister of Education in reference to the Superannuation Fund.
The Committee, in fulfilment of the duty imposed upon them by the resolution passed at the last meeting of the Public School Section, waited upon the Minister of Education on the 13th of December last, by appointment. He courteously received them, and entered very largely into a discussion of the various aspects of the Superannuation Fund. As opportunity occurred, they laid the terms of the resolution before him, and advanced various reasons in its favour. He admitted the anomalous condition of the Fund, and also the meagre allowance it provided for worn-out teachers. He did not see, however, how the latter could be increased except by the co-operation of those to be benefited by it, in making larger contributions. He pointed out that already the Legislature appro- priated a very large sum to supplement the moiety the teachers gave ; two years ago it was two-and-a-half times, and last year it was three times as much as theirs. The Committee assured him that there would be no lack of reasonable co-operation on the part of the profession to put the Fund on a proper basis, provided the time of active service to secure the benefit of the Fund could be reduced to a reasonable length, say twenty-five years, and the allowance be increased to afford a possible means of support on retirement. His attention was directed to the liberal scheme of superannuation the British Govern- ment had adopted in favour of the Irish National school teachers. He would not hold out any hope of lessening the period of service, or, in fact, of doing anything with the Fund during the session then approaching ; but he promised to give the matter his earnest consideration during the present summer, after which he would be able to indicate in what direction his opinions tended, with a view to legislation.
Mr. Duncan moved :
1. That twenty-five years' service in the profession, or having attained the age of fifty, entitle a teacher to superannuation.
2. That no teacher who retires before ten years' service be allowed a refund of more than ten per cent, of his payments to the Superannuation Fund.
3. That the allowance to superannuated teachers be increased, and if need be, that the yearly subscription to the Fund be increased also.
4. That provision be made for the widows of superannuated teachers.
High School Masters' Section.
Resolved unanimously, —
1. That inasmuch as the Department has issued a regulation appointing Head Masters of High Schools presiding examiners in their own schools at the Entrance Examinations in those cases where the Inspector cannot be present, and inasmuch as the Head Masters have their full share in the examining of the papers afterwards, the High School Section
9 121
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
would respectfully recommend that the Head Masters be placed on the same footing as the Inspectors with regard to remuneration, as is already done in a number of schools.
2. Inasmuch as the Intermediate Examinations have reference largely to work done in High Schools, and as often those appointed to preside at the examinations have no special fitness for the work, the High School Section thinks that, as a class, the High School Masters are most competent to preside on such occasions, and would respectfully suggest to the Minister of Education the propriety of making appointments as examiners from among such, direct from the Department.
3. That this Section would desire to impress upon the Minister of Education the advisability, in the interest of education, of adopting the principle of rotation of examiners as put into practice in connection with the examinations of the University of Toronto.
4. That in order to secure a more regular gradation in the difficulty of the papers, the High School Section would recommend that the examiner who prepares the papers in any subject for the Entrance Examination should also prepare those for all the other Departmental Examinations in that subject.
5. That, taking into consideration the object of the Intermediate Examination, and the instructions given to the examiners by the Honourable Minister of Education in his circular of December, 1877, this Section considers that the paper on English Literature, given at the last examination, assumed too great maturity on the part of purely Inter- mediate candidates ; that the paper on Arithmetic was too difficult; while that on Algebra was wholly unsuitable.
6. That in the opinion of this Section the tendency of the Intermediate Examinations has been, and is, to give undue, prominence in our schools to the subjects composing the mathematical group, and to prevent the other departments from receiving that measure of attention to which their importance entitles them.
The following resolutions were also adopted :
1. That the present regulations of the University Senate preventing candidates over twenty-three years of age from obtaining Scholarships at the Junior Matriculation Examination should be amended.
2. That this Section would respectfully urge upon the Minister of Education the advisability, in the interest of the High Schools, of taking steps to give the High School Masters additional representation in the Senate of the University of Toronto.
3. That in the opinion of this Section, before the Senate finally adopt any statutes or resolutions affecting the interests of the High Schools, they should authorize the Registrar to furnish the representative of the High School Masters with such documents as he may deem necessary for obtaining thereon the opinion of the High School Masters, or of such committee of them as he may appoint for that purpose.
Public School Inspectors' Section.
Messrs. Smith, Beamer and McKinnon were appointed a Committee to suggest amendments to the School Law, such as would to some extent remedy the injustice suffered by the smaller and weaker Sections of a township, under the present system of taxation for school purposes.
It was unanimously resolved, that in the opinion of this Section, gentlemen holding First Class, Grade A, Certificates should be eligible to the Head Masterships of High Schools. Also that no Public School Inspector's ( 'ertificate should be granted to any person who has not passed the Professional First, ('lass Examination, including successful practice in a Provincial Model School, and that no First Class Provincial Certificate should be granted to any one who has not taught successfully for at least two years in a Public School in Ontario.
Also, That in the opinion of this Section the half-yearly subscription to the Super- annuated Public School Teachers' Fund should be increased; that Public and High School Teachers, male and female, as well as School Inspectors should be required to contribute; that no refund of subscriptions should be made, except in case of death ; and that Teachers and Inspectors should be allowed to retire on the completion of a stated term of service.
122
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
Messrs. Carson, Somerset and Smith were appointed to represent the views of the Section on this subject to the Minister.
It was resolved that the examination of candidates for entrance to High Schools should be entrusted to the Boards of Public School Examiners.
Ontario Teachers' Association, 1881.
Extracts from the Proceedings of Convention, held on 9th, 10th and 11th August.
Report of Committee on Legislation.
Mr. Hughes presented the following Report, which was thereupon adopted : Gentlemen, — The Committee on Legislation appointed at the last Annual Meeting of the Association, beg leave to present the following Report :
1. After obtaining the opinions of the teachers throughout the Province with regard to important educational questions, your Committee had several interviews with Hon. Adam Crooks, Minister of Education, at which those matters which were to be submitted by him to the Legislature were carefully considered.
2. Prominent among these was the question of the Superannuation of Teachers. Your Committee found the Minister of Education was exceedingly desirous to secure the Fund for this purpose on a basis that would give greater satisfaction botli to the country and to teachers themselves. He felt that it would be better that no change should be made, however, until the teachers throughout the Province had an opportunity of expressing their views concerning the proposed amendments, and at his request your Committee issued a circular, outlining the leading principles of these amendments, for the consideration of the Local Associations. Many of these have reported their views, and your Committee recommend that these reports be tabulated and forwarded to the Minister of Education by their successors. They would further recommend, that this Association, representing as it does the several sections of the profession, and the various parts of the Province, should also thoroughly discuss the clauses of the circular referred to. Copies of the circular have been provided to facilitate the discussion.
3. Your Committee strongly urged the withdrawal of the amendment of 1879 restricting the powers of School Boards in providing school accommodation, and a clause was drafted giving Boards the right of appeal to the Minister of Education, if their estimates were not granted, and authorizing him to compel the section or municipality to raise the necessary funds, if on inquiry he found the school accommodation to be in- sufficient. This clause, your Committee regret to state, was not embodied in the Schoo\ Bill submitted to the House, and they recommend this Association to state clearly its views regarding this important question.
4. The necessity for granting increased aid in support of County Model Schools was also pressed upon the attention of the Minister of Education. In this particular, important changes were made by the Legislature. The amount of the Government Grant has been increased to $150 per annum, and the County Grant to an equal amount has been made compulsory.
5. Your Committee have much pleasure in reporting that they were received by the Minister of Education with the utmost courtesy. He evinced the deepest interest in the welfare of this Association, and kindly promised to give, in the future, additional proofs of that interest by recommending an annual grant of $200 in aid of this Association, and by incorporating an account of its proceedings in his Annual Report.
6. Your Committee are glad to note that some Local Associations have followed the example set by this Association in appointing a Committee on Legislation. This they believe to be of great value in bringing the views of the Association directly under the notice of the individual members of the Legislature, and in forming a means of communi- cation between the Legislative Committee of this Association and the Inspectoral districts throughout the Province, and they therefore recommend that the Secretary of this Association be instructed to issue a circular to the Local Associations of Ontario, sho wing
123
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers ('Mo. 5). A. 1882
the benefits which would be likeiy to result from the general appointment of such Committees on Legislation.
Mr. James Mills, M A., President of the Guelph Agricultural College, delivered a very able and interesting address on Agricultural Education in Schools, as also did Mr. Johnston, of the Agricultural College.
Mr. J. L. Hughes explained and illustrated, in an interesting and practical manner, the method of teaching Drawing employed in the Toronto Public Schools. A large collection of the results of the system was on exhibition in the hall of the building.
Resolutions adopted: That, in the opinion of this Association, the minimum age for admission to Public Schools should be increased from five to seven years; or if this change be not made, that the students-in-training in the Normal .Schools should receive training in the principles and practice of Kindergarten work.
That, in the opinion of this Association, the 29th clause of the Amended School Act of 1879 should be rescinded, or so amended as to place no restrictions on School Boards in providing additional school accommodation where the existing school accom- modation is insufficient.
Report of the Committee on Hygiene and Methods of Teaching.
The Committee on Hygiene and Methods of Teaching beg to report that they recommend —
1. That the Minister of Education be requested to prepare a circular of information for distribution in every School Section, to set forth the importance of proper ventilation, lighting and heating of school houses, and with a view of preparing the way to make it obligatory on every School Corporation to secure the approval, by the Education Depart- ment, of the plans of any Public or High School building which is proposed to be erected, and the best method of accomplishing the same.
2. That a Committee of this Association be appointed to consider proposed improve- ments in the methods of teaching and school management, for the purpose of submitting them to the Minister of Education, that they may be properly tested by experiment, under the direction of the Education Department, in case such proposed improvements commend themselves to the said Committee, and report to this Convention.
Report of the Legislative Committee on the Superannuation Fund.
The following amended Report of the Legislative Committee on the Superannuation Fund was adopted :
1. In lieu of the present provisions of the law respecting the Superannuated Teachers' Fund, "The Teachers' Retiring Provident Fund," in this Act termed "The Fund," is hereby established, and such Fund shall consist of all sums which may from time to time be appropriated by the Legislature out of the consolidated revenue of the Province, and of all sums hereinafter provided to be paid by all persons entitled to a retiring allowance, as hereinafter also provided.
2. The following are entitled to a retiring allowance, namely : Every male teacher of a Public or Separate School holding a First, Second or Third Class Certificate of qualification under the regulations of the Education Department, or a valid County Board Certificate of the old standard ; also every female teacher of a Public or Separate School holding any like Certificate ; also every legally qualified master or assistant master of a High School or Collegiate Institute, and every Public or High School Inspector.
3. The conditions on which any such person shall be entitled to the retiring allow- ance are as follows: Each person must have contributed annually the sum of $4, with the privilege of paying 8, 12, 16 or 20 dollars per year during service.
4. All persons enumerated in Clause 2 as entitled to a retiring allowance shall be required to comply with the conditions of Clause 3 during each year of the period of their service.
5. The said sum shall be made by way of abatement from the annual apportionment of the Legislative Public School Grant, and the Minister of Education shall in his
124
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
certificate to the Provincial Treasurer of such apportionment also state the amount to be deducted from the salary of each person as his or her annual payment to the said Retiring Fund, and all sums so deducted shall be paid into and form part of the "Teachers' Retiring and Provident Fund.''
6. All moneys from time to time payable to the said Fund shall be carried by the Provincial Treasurer to a separate account for this Fund, distinct from the consolidated revenue fund, and also any interest accruing thereon.
7. Every person who complies with the foregoing conditions as to contributions to the Fund, may retire from the teaching service, in his discretion, after twenty-five years of actual teaching, or having reached the age of fifty-five, and shall thereupon be entitled to receive an annual retiring allowance equal to the sums which such person has contributed to the Fund, as provided in Clause 2.
8. The interest of any person in the Fund, or in any retiring allowance when granted, shall not be assignable by such person, or be subject to any execution, attachment or process of any court of law or equity, or judge's order under judgment in the Division Court.
9. No retiring allowance shall be made for any period of service of less than ten years, and no person who retires before having served the full period of twenty-five years will be entitled to a retiring allowance, unless it has been established by evidence satis- factory to the Education Department that he has become incapacitated by bodily or mental infirmity from performing his duties as a teacher, master, or inspector, as the case may be, or unless such person has reached the age of fifty-five years; but any such ratiring allowance is liable to be withdrawn in any year unless the incapacity continues, and the recipient is annually to present himself to his or her inspector in order that they may report thereon to the Education Department; and any teacher whose disability may cease, and who resumes the service of teaching, will become entitled to the benefits of this Fund when such person again retires.
(2) Any teacher or inspector upon reaching the full age of fifty years shall be entitled to his or her retiring allowance, notwithstanding the periods hereinbefore provided have not been fully served by such teacher or inspector.
10. No person shall be entitled to receive back any sum contributed to the Fund, but in case of the decease or after two years' continued disability of such person without his or her having been placed on this Fund, he or she, or his or her wife or husband as the case may be, or other legal representative, shall be entitled to receive back all sums paid by him or her into the Fund, with interest at the rate of five per cent, per annum.
11. The period or periods during which any teacher, before the passing of this Act, has been engaged in teaching, shall be allowed for as if served under its provisions, and any payments made by him on account of the former " Superannuated Teachers' Fund " shall be considered and taken as. payments made pro tanto to the Fund hereby established, and any sum which is required to be paid to equal the amount annually payable to the Fund under this Act may be made up by payments in five equal annual instalments after the passing of this Act, or as otherwise provided by the regulations of the Education Department ; but* those persons enumerated in Clause 2 as entitled to participate in the Fund, and who have not been compelled by any former Act to contribute thereto, shall be permitted to comply with Clause 3 for the period of service already completed.
12. The allowance to teachers who are now on the list of those superannuated, under the provisions of any former law, will continue to be paid to them under and subject to the conditions thereof.
It was also Resolved: That any scheme for the superannuation of teachers do also contain provision for the widows and children of superannuated teachers, the extent of such provision and the conditions thereof to be determined by the Minister of Education.
Public School Section.
Mr. Spence read the following Report, which, after discussion, was adopted. Report of the Committee appointed at the last meeting of the Public School Section
125
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
of the Ontario Teachers' Association, to lay before the Minister of Education the following resolutions :
1. That the discretionary power given to Public School Inspectors to permit Third Class Teachers, holding Intermediate and Third Class Certificates, to go up for their professional training for a Second Class Certificate, at the end of a year's experience in teaching, should be withdrawn.
2. That the present method of granting permits and permanent certificates to Third Class Teachers, is liable to abuse, and should be altered so as to afford a reasonable guarantee that those teachers securing these privileges are worthy of them.
3. That the vote for Public School Trustees should be by ballot.
4. That the age of candidates on entering the profession should be — for females eighteen (IS), and for males twenty (20) years.
5. That twenty-five years' service in the profession, or having attained the age of fifty, entitle a teacher to superannuation.
6. That no teacher who retires before ten years' service be allowed a refund of more than ten per cent, of his payments to the Superannuation Fund.
7. That the allowance to superannuated teachers be increased, and, if need be, that the yearly subscription be increased also.
8. That provision be made for the widows of superannuated teachers.
9. That rotation of Examiners, applied to the various Departmental Examinations, would add to the improvement of education throughout the country.
10. That, in the opinion of this Section, it would be to the advantage of the Province to retain the apparatus part of the Depository for the present year.
The Committee, consisting of Mr. McAllister, Mr. Spence, and Mr. Doan, had no less than three interviews with the Minister of Education to discuss the foregoing resolu- tions with him. On the 8th of January last they laid them before him. In regard to the first, he pointed out that Inspectors had now no discretionary power, as the Department had decided, by regulation, that all candidates for Second Class Certificates might be admitted to professional training after one year's experience in teaching. He admitted that it was an open question whether the term was too short or not, and said he did not consider the present regulations as unalterable ; and upon the urgent representa- tions of the Committee, he gave them to understand that the term of service should be lengthened so soon as the supply of teachers would warrant it.
He assured the deputation that strict enquiry was made in every case before a permit was granted. When the Inspector did not certify a scarcity of teachers as a reason for the application for a permit, it was refused. The number was yearly decreasing, and he hoped permits would soon be things of the past, except in the remote districts.
He was, on principle, opposed to secret voting, and therefore could hold out no hope of proposing to introduce the ballot into School Trustee elections.
He admitted the desirability of making a higher limit for the age of both male and female candidates for the teaching profession, but doubted whether the respective ages should be twenty and eighteen, or nineteen and eighteen.
He did not think any good purpose would be gained by retaining the apparatus portion of the Depository, as articles of a better quality, and at less price, can be got from private dealers.
He had already adopted the principle of rotation of Examiners, and proposed to have more Public School Inspectors among the sub-examiners. The fitness of Public School Masters to act as sub-examiners was brought before him, and he promised to give the matter his consideration.
The remaining, and indeed the main portion of the interviews the Minister granted the Committee, was taken up in discussing the Superannuation scheme. The views of the Public School Section were first laid before him. He then .submitted a scheme of his own to the Committee, and finally he asked them to lay any plan they could agree upon before him, and lie would give it fair consideration.
The Committee gave a good deal of time and labour to the matter, and finally sub- mitted to the Minister a scheme, of which the following are the principal features :
An annual compulsory contribution, on the part of all male teachers in our Public
12G
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
Schools, of two per cent, of their salaries. An annual allowance to superannuated teachers of two per cent., or one-fiftieth of the average annual salary. Teachers to be allowed to retire and participate in the Fund after twenty-five years' service. No allowance to be made for more than thirty years' service, nor for less than ten, except in case of disability. No deductions to be made from the Fund in favour of those who retire before being entitled to an allowance. Those teachers who do not contribute to the Fund, to pay an animal fee of not less than two dollars, which should go to the purposes of the Fund. Training in the Normal School to be accounted as part of the term of service. Provision to be made for the widows of superannuated teachers. Those teachers who receive less than three hundred dollars per year, to have the privilege of making an annual contribution large enough to entitle them to a pension on a salary up to that amount.
The Committee thanked the Minister for his patient consideration of the matter it was their duty to bring before him, when they finally withdrew.
Mr. J. Duncan delivered an address on Model Schools and Model School Work.
The Committee appointed to draft resolutions embodying the views of the Section on the question of Over Supply of Teachers, submitted a series of resolutions, which, as amended and approved, are as follows :
That distinguished success in teaching should entitle any teacher to promotion to a higher grade of Certificate, without examination, at the discretion of the Minister of Education.
That all candidates who write at Examinations for Second Class Certificates, be required to take the Science Group in the Intermediate Course.
That the period of Model School training should be materially lengthened!
That all students-in-training at the Model School be required to pay a fee of ten dollars, half of which shall be refunded to unsuccessful candidates, and the unrefunded portion to go to the support of the Model Schools.
That permits, except in remote and thinly-settled districts, should be abolished.
That all persons going up for Teachers' Examinations shall pay a fee of ten dollars, said sum to go towards defraying the expenses of examination, and the balance to be placed in aid of the Superannuation Fund — no further fee being charged for passing to a higher grade.
High School Section.
On the subject of the memorandum submitted by the Minister of Education for consideration, the following resolutions were adopted :
1. That in the opinion of the High School Section, the fixed grant to High Schools should be one-fourth of the amount paid annually for teachers' salaries.
2. That a portion of the grant should be distributed on general average attendance, and that a small sum, say s.'i per pupil, should be granted on the average attendance, during the preceding year, of those who pass the Intermediate Examination.
3. That Collegiate Institutes should continue to exist, but that the basis of establish- ment and continuance should be broadened by including girls as well as boys, and by recognizing other studies as well as Latin and Greek.
1. That no school should receive a total grant of less than $400, or more than the highest sum paid to any school this year.
5. That it is desirable that a minimum fee of, say, $5 per annum, should be established in all High Schools, provided some arrangement be made to meet the case of those towns which contain High Schools and whose Public Schools contain no fifth and sixth classes.
6. That the standard for admission to High Schools remain as at present, but that some suitable elementary text-book in English History should be prescribed for Public Schools for use in preparation for the Entrance Examination to High Schools.
7. That it is desirable that the course of study prescribed for the lower school should be revised, so as to make it more flexible, especially in the case of girls, and to secure the payment of greater attention to the higher English branches.
8. That the amount of Latin and French prescribed for the Intermediate in 1882 is

too great, and that the programme should be amended by striking out Cicero Pro Archia, or some equivalent, and a portion of the French.
9. That this Section re-affirms the opinion expressed by it last year, that the j.endency of tin- Intermediate Examination has been and is to give undue prominence to Mathe- matics, and to prevent other subjects, such as Reading, "Writing, and Composition, from receiving that attention which their importance entitles them.
This Section preferred not to offer any opinion regarding United Boards
Public School Inspectors' Section.
The following resolutions were passed :
Whereas it is by law the duty of Public School Inspectors to inspect the accounts, classes, and working of Mechanics' Institutes ;
Whereas the work involves considerable travel, labour, responsibility and time :
Whereas the labour involved does not depend upon membership, nor to any consider- able extent on the obtaining of the Government Grant to each institute ; and
Whereas the responsibility and time of Inspectors are worth at least five dollars a day and travelling expenses :
Resolved, — That the remuneration proposed is wholly inadequate, and that the treat- ment of Inspectors in setting their services aside in 1880, and then in 1881 insisting upon their doing the work of inspection for remuneration, which, when reduced by reasonable allowance for horse-hire and other expenditure, does not equal that made to ordinary day labourers, is not worthy of the usually reasonable and considerate course of the Education Department.
Resolved, — That, in the opinion of this Section, it is desirable that the Non-professional Examination of teachers be separated from the High School Intermediate Examination as at present established.
1. To provide, for examination of candidates for Teachers' Certificates in the subjects of reading and penmanship.
2. To abolish the option of taking Latin, or French, or German, in lieu of the Natural Philosophy Groups.
Resolved, — That in the opinion of this Section the professional training of First and Second Class Teachers is quite defective, and the attention of the Hon. the Minister of Education is hereby respectfully directed to the necessity of a thorough investigation into the character of the lectures delivered in the Normal Schools, and into the methods of teaching practised in the Model Schools.
Resolved, — That it is the opinion of this Section that Clause 29 of the amended School Act of 1879 should be'repealed, as detrimental to the best interests of education.
/.'■ solved, — That whereas the present method of extending Teachers' Certificates has proved unsatisfactory ; therefore, in the opinion of this Section, the power of extending such Certificates should be vested in the County Boards of Examiners ; that the said Boards of Examiners should be empowered to require candidates for such extensions to attend any one of the Departmental Examinations or not, at their discretion.
Resolved, — That whereas in several counties there is at present a scarcity of teachers, this Section would respectfully recommend that in these the Boards of Examiners be authorized, on representing their necessities, to grant Third Class Certificates, on receiving the necessary Model School training, to a sufficient number selected from the best of those rejected at the Intermediate Examination held in such counties, in order to relieve such scarcity ; and for this purpose the Boards, on application to the Department, be furnished with the marks obtained at this Examination.
Resolved, — That in the opinion of this Section it is unnecessary to have the marks returned for every question in the Entrance Examination Report, as these marks are put on the papers of the candidates, which are all sent to the Department.

Glengarry Teachers' Association.
During the years 1880 and 1881 very successful half-yearly meetings of the Teachers' Association were held in Alexandria. Each meeting extended over two days, and the proceedings were conducted as nearly as possible in accordance with the Regulations of the Education Department.
The exercises consisted principally in the reading of papers on educational subjects, and illustrating various methods of teaching the subjects of the Public School course, followed by discussions in which prominent members took an active part ; and as the object constantly kept in view was to make the work engaging the attention of the members, practical, much benefit has been derived by them from their connection with the Association. This is very apparent from their increased efficiency as well as in the improved methods of teaching adopted, which being to a great extent similar throughout the county, the evil resulting from a frequent change of teachers will not be so great as heretofore.
Stormont Teachers' Association.
The Teachers' Association for the County of Stormont was in successful operation during the years 1880 and 1881. The first meeting for the year 1880 was held in the village of Aultsville, on the 21st and 22nd of May. The number of teachers present was about thirty. Essays were read and discussions held on the following subjects, viz. : — Mental Arithmetic, Reading, Arithmetic, Public School Programme, and Hygiene. A Question Drawer was also opened, which elicited practical remarks on several subjects connected with the teacher's work. A public lecture was delivered on the evening of the first day by the Rev. J. B. Saunders, on "Glimpses of London and Paris."
The second meeting of the Association for the year 1880 was held in the Model School, in Cornwall, on the 11th and 12th of November. The subjects of essays and discussion were the following : — Geography, Teaching Grammar to Junior Classes, School Law and Regulations, Duties of a Teacher, and Hygiene. A considerable portion of both days was occupied in discussing points suggested by "Hughes' Mistakes in Teaching." The number of teachers present was about forty.
The first meeting for the year 1881 was held at Newington, on the 3rd and 4th of February. Number present, about fifty. A considerable portion of the first day was occupied with discussions on various topics connected with school work suggested by "Hughes' Mistakes in Teaching." A public lecture on Sir Walter Scott was delivered by W. A. Whitney, Esq., M.A. The other subjects discussed were, the "Course of Study in the Public Schools," and the teaching of Algebra.
A special meeting for the purpose of considering suggestions regarding the Sustenta- tion Fund was held at Newington, on the 18th of June. Very few of the teachers of the county attended.
The second regular meeting for the year 1881 was held on the 6th and 7th of October, at Newington. Number of teachers present, about forty. The following list of subjects constituted the chief part of the programme : — Short Methods in Arithmetic, Algebra, Notes on the last meeting of the Provincial Teachers' Association, Chemistry, Goldsmith and Cowper. A Question Drawer led to the discussion of several subjects connected with education. A public lecture on the evening of the first day, on the "Achievements of the Age we live in," was delivered by Mr. George Bigelow. Number of volumes in library, about 200.
Dundas Teachers' Association
Is known by the name of "The Educational Association of the County of Dundas." Two sessions were held in 1880, and three in 1881. The regular meetings are held in February and September. The regular sessions last two days. The average attendance of members for 1880 was sixty-five; for 1881, seventy-four.
129
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
In 1880, seven essays were read, eleven subjects discussed, five addresses delivered, and two entertainments held; in 1881, these exercises were three, eight, nine and one respectively. The membership fee is fifty cents for males, and twenty-five cents for females, annually.
The library of the Association comprises some 115 volumes, exclusive of those recently forwarded from the Department. The catalogue covers all but about 820 worth received since the catalogue was printed. The catalogue prices of all the books amount to more than $100. Ninety-seven volumes were taken out by members in 1880.
Prescott Teachers' Association.
1880. — Two meetings were held, one at Hawkesbury, June 4th, and one at Vankleek Hill, October 8th. Number of members present at June meeting, forty ; number of members present at October meeting, fifty; number of paid members for 1881, twenty- eight. J. Maxwell, B.A., lectured on the evening of June 4th. There was no lecture in October.
1881. — Both meetings were held at Vankleek Hill — the first, June 9th and 10th ; the second, October 14th and 15th. Number of members present at June meeting, seventy-five ; number of members present at October meeting, fifty ; number of paid members for 1881, twenty -two. At the June meeting, Mr. Buchan, High School Inspector, assisted during the day, and in the evening delivered his lecture on " Poetry and Politics " to a large audience in the Presbyterian Church. In October the evening meeting was held in the Town Hall, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. The programme consisted of essays, addresses, and vocal and instrumental music.
At all the meetings papers on teaching were read and discussed.
Russell Teachers' Association.
1880. — Two meetings were held — one at Cumberland, June 11th and 12th ; the other at Bearbrook, October 1st and 2nd. Number of teachers present at each meeting, fifty ; number of paid members for 1880, thirty-three. The Rev. J. May, M.A., I.P.S., County Carleton, lectured at both meetings.
1S81. — The meeting was held at Plantagenet, June 3rd and 4th. No second meet- ing was held, as it was thought well to change the time from autumn to winter. Number present at June meeting, fifty-five ; number of paying members for 1881, eighteen. The Rev. J. May, M.A., lectured on the evening of the 3rd June, to a large audience, in the town-hall.
At all the meetings papers were read and discussions held on the best methods of teaching the different subjects on the Public School programme.
District No. 1 Leeds Teachers' Association.
The number of members who have handed in their subscriptions to date of the cur- rent sear is 49. The fee is fifty cents each.
The spring session was held at Brockville on May 24th and 25th, when about sixty teachers were present. The lecturers were Inspectors Bigg and Kinney, and the High School Masters, Messrs. McGregor and Johnston. The subjects treated of and discussed were Arithmetic, Euclid, History, the Superannuation Question, Algebra, Geography, the Half-Time System, Grammar, etc., etc. The Institute was in session the first day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The second sessional attendance of the teachers is called at Farmersville for Thurs- day and Friday, November 3rd and 1th next.

Renfrew Teachers' Association.
For the year 1880. — The Association held two semi-annual meetings of two days each : the first at Renfrew, 20th and 21st May ; the second at Pembroke, 14th and 15th October.
At the first meeting a public lecture was delivered on the evening of the first day, by W. Riddell, Esq., B. A., B.Sc. At the second meeting a public lecture, on the evening of the first day, was delivered by Dr. McLellan, I.H.S.
The meetings and lectures were well attended, and, altogether, the work of the Association for the year was successful.
For the year 1881. — The first semi-annual meeting for this year was held at Arn- prior, 19th and 20th May ; the second meeting is to be held at Renfrew, on 8th and 9th December inst. At the first meeting a public lecture was delivered by J. May, Esq., M.A., I.P.S., on the first evening. Both the meetings and the lecture were well attended, and the Association continues in a prosperous state.
Grenville Teachers' Association.
The Grenville County Teachers' Association, which was founded as a separate Asso- ciation in 1874 — having previously been combined with the County of Leeds Association — continues in a satisfactory state of efficiency.
In accordance with the regulation, it meets twice a year, generally in the month of May or June, and in the month of October, and its session on each occasion continues two days.
When only one Association existed for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, the inconvenience and expense of travelling to the place of meeting was found to be a serious drawback. Even now that a separate Association exists for the County of Gren- ville alone, this inconvenience is considerable, and to obviate it as far as possible the meetings are held successively or in rotation at the three following places — Merrickville, Kemptville and Prescott.
In 1880 the Association met at Kemptville, May 21st and 22nd; at Prescott, Octo- ber 14th and 15th. The admission fee is fifty cents, and the payment of this fee being the test of membership, it appears from the records that the number of members enrolled for that year was forty-two, although this does not show the actual attendance at the meetings.
In the present year (1881) the Association met at Merrickville, June 3rd and 4th; at Kemptville, October 27th and 28th. In consequence of unfavorable weather, the meeting at Merrickville was not very numerously attended, but was, on the whole, satis- factory. The recent meeting at Kemptville (27th and 28th ult.) showed a much better attendance and gave general satisfaction. There were present about fifty or sixty.
In the course of last year (1880) the sum of $75 was expended in purchasing from the Department the nucleus of a Teachers' Library, embracing at present 123 volumes, with printed catalogue and regulations. The balance of the funds is expended for the necessary printing of notices, for payment for evening lecture, and for the supply of each member with a copy of the Canada School Journal.
The fact that in these United Counties, and generally in Eastern Ontario, the great majority of our teachers are young females, renders it difficult, if not unadvisable, to urge too emphatically, attendance at the meetings of the Association when not held near the places at which they happen to be residing for the discharge of their duties.

Frontenac Teachers' Association.
The County of Frontenac Teachers' Association met at the Court House, Kingston, on Friday and Saturday, the 28th and 29th ultimo, when papers were read and addresses given on the following subjects, namely: — The Claims and Privileges of the Public School Master ; Teaching Decimals ; Physiology in School, how it should be taught ; Reading ; English Orthography from the Teacher's Point of View ; and Horner's Method of Division.
Reports were received from the delegates appointed to attend the meeting of the Ontario Teachers' Association. A question drawer was opened, and replies to the queries were given by members of the Committee. Most of the papers elicited more or less dis- cussion. Owing to the unfavourable weather the attendance was not so good as usual, yet the meeting proved satisfactory.
Lennox and Addington Teachers' Association.
With regard to our Teachers' Association, in 1880 there were 104 members enrolled. During the year there were two meetings — one in April, and one in October — at both of which there was an excellent attendance, notwithstanding the extremely inconvenient shape of this County, and the consequent trouble and expense to which teachers are put in attending.
For this year (1881) there are 96 members enrolled ; and there have been two meet- ings— one in May, and one in the present month — both of which were well attended. At all our meetings the exercises have been of a decidedly practical character, dealing chiefly with methods of teaching and school management.
In connection with the Association excellent evening lectures were delivered — last year by Samuel Woods, Esq., A.M., and Professor Wright, of Albert College ; and this year by J. M. Buchan, Esq., A.M., and Professor Dupuis, of Queen's College. Our teachers appear to take a hearty interest in the work of the Association, and they have been greatly benefited by the exercises which they have witnessed at the semi-annual meetings.
The library in connection with the Association is tolerably well patronized, especially by the teachers near the town.
Our teachers feel very grateful for the kind interest taken by the Honourable the Minister of Education in their work, and for the pecuniary aid which he has secured for the Association.
North Hastings Teachers' Association.
In 1880, three meetings of the Association were held in Madoc. Each of two of these continued for two days, and the third was held on a Saturday.
133
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
At these conventions there were discussions on the methods of teaching the following subjects, viz. : — Junior Arithmetic, Reading to Second and Third classes, Geography, Junior Geography, Literature, Grammar, Writing, Arithmetic, Algebra, Reading to Juniors, Elementary Grammar. In addition, the following topics were discussed, viz.: — School Drill ; Teaching, How to make School Attractive ; Morals and Manners, Written Examinations ; and lectures, in the evenings, were delivered by High School Inspector ouchan and Professor Wright, Albert University.
In 1881 there were held a one-day meeting, and two which lasted for two days. Among the subjects discussed were the following, viz. : — Method of Teaching Writing, Practical Arithmetic, Geography of Ontario, Method of Teaching Composition, Spelling, Railway System of Ontario, Method of Teaching English History, Method of Teaching Reading, Method of Teaching Canadian History. Method of Teaching Grammar, Quarterly Examinations, Uniform Promotion Examinations. In addition, addresses on practical subjects were delivered by visiting Inspectors and by myself, and a lecture on Professional Enthusiasm was delivered by Dr. Jaques, President of Albert University.
Generally, our meetings are made attractive by music and readings. During the current year, a system of Uniform Promotion Examinations has been established under the auspices of the Association. These examinations are for promotion to the Junior Third, Senior Third, Junior Fourth, Senior Fourth, and Fifth Classes. For entrance to the first two of these classes, the examinations are held in each school-house, and are under the control of the teaeher, who is, however, guided by regulations adopted by the Association. The examinations for promotion to the other classes are held at three central points, and are conducted by committees appointed by the Association, but the answers of the candidates are read and valued by a committee of examiners, who perform their work at Madoc, on a day fixed upon by the Association. Printed questions (one for each candidate) are supplied for all the examinations, and writing paper for the examinations for promotion to the fourth and fifth classes.
The expenses connected with printing of examination papers, circulars, etc., are defrayed partly by the Association and partly by the School Sections whose pupils are examined. For this purpose each Board of Trustees is requested to contribute seventy- five cents.
For obvious reasons, we have not attempted to apply the system to the schools in the new townships north of Madoc township. A number have voluntarily adopted it, however.
The plan is, of course, an experiment, but its success is assured. It has met with the support of the majority, and the active opposition of none. In connection with the Association there is a carefully selected library containing nearly 300 volumes.
Fifty of our members are subscribers to two professional periodicals — The Canada Educational Monthly and New York Teacherd Institute. These are supplied by the Association for §1.65 yearly.
During 1880 there were 50 members. At present we have 53 members who have paid their fees. We recognize no non-paying members. Our annual fee is fifty cents. The average attendance at our meetings is from 60 to 80.
Since its establishment in 1*74, the Association has been one of the most effective means used for the elevation of the schools. It has grown steadily in usefulness, and its decease would be productive of great injury to our schools.
Our efforts to increase its beneficial influence have been materially hampered by poverty. The grant obtained from the Department has been of great service, but no grant has, so far, been given by the County, chiefly because it has not been asked.
South Hastings Teachers' Association.
The first semi-annual meeting of the South Hastings Teachers' Association for 1880 was held in the Central School Building, Belleville, on Thursday and Friday, May 20th and 21st.
134
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
It was a good, practical meeting. One hundred and twelve teachers out of one hundred and twenty were present. The roll was called each morning and afternoon.
The second meeting of the year was held in the same building on Thursday and Friday, October 28th and 29th, beginning each day at nine o'clock.
This was an excellent meeting, being very practical and useful to all Public School teachers, and the good results could be seen in the schools. The roll was called each morning and afternoon. The time was profitably spent, and no discussions foreign to the subject in hand were allowed. Out of 120 teachers, 114 were punctual and regular in attendance each day.
The first meeting of 1881 was held in the same building on Thursday and Friday, 2nd and 3rd June, beginning each day at nine o'clock.
The teachers took up all the subjects in a very able and practical manner. There was no waste of time, and every teacher on time with note-books. They take full notes during the discussion of a subject by the one appointed, and questions are allowed to oe asked at the close.
An excellent lecture was delivered in the City Hall in the evening of the first day by the Rev. Dr. Jaques, on Mental Gymnastics, to the teachers and others. It was the best lecture on education ever delivered in the city.
The second meeting of the year was held in the same building on Thursday and Friday, September 29th and 30th. There was a large attendance, as usual. The teachers were punctual and regular, and the meeting was considered by all to be one of the best, if not the best, ever held in South Hastings. There were 116 teachers present out of 120, and the four who did not appear sent notes to the effect that they were sick, and unable to be present.
The teaching of many of the subjects was illustrated by classes from several of the schools in the country. A lecture was to be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Jeffers, but a short time before the time for the lecture he was taken sick.
The monthly conventions held from 1871 up to the time of the new regulations did a va,st amount of good, as well as the conventions held in the different townships.
Prince Edward Teachers' Association.
There are about 85 teachers in the county, all of whom are considered members of the Association, without the payment of a fee, and who attend the semi-annual two days' conventions held in May and October of each year. The programme consists entirely of practical explanations of the several subjects required to be taught in each school, which are given by members of the Association, aided by leading educationists of the Province. Last year R. Lewis, Esq., and Dr. McLellan were employed to give lectures before the Association, and this year Mr. Buchan, late High School Inspector, came to our assist- ance. The Association has no income except what is derived from the Government grant. There is in connection with the Association a library of about three hundred \ i ilumes, open to all members, and kept at the residence of the Inspector. It is very well patronized. A large portion of the books are on the best methods of teaching, and the rest are mostly works of general information. It is but fair to say that most of the library was purchased by the proceeds of the annual Teachers' Excursion, before the grant was given by the Legislature. The custom of having an annual excursion is still kept up.
The Association is very useful. It is observable that those most regular and punc- tual in their attendance at its meetings are the most successful teachers in the school-
Durham Teachers' Association.
The Teachers' Association for the County of Durham numbers about 90 members, and the attendance of members is usually about 80. Many who are not teachers also
135
4-5 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
attend. Conventions are held each half year. The exercises consist of the discussion of topics connected with the teachers' profession, the teaching of classes, and public lectures. While these meetings are interesting and beneficial, especially to young teachers, they would be far more useful if some competent person were appointed to conduct a Teachers' Institute once a year in each county. Our Association furnishes an educational journal to its members at twenty-five cents per annum. The Government Grant is of great assistance to us. The County Council gives nothing.
East Victoria Teachers' Association.
Two conventions were held last year — one at Bobcaygeon, the other at Lindsay. This year there have been two conventions — one at Omemee, the other at Lindsay. The intend ance generally has been satisfactory. At the convention held on the 4th and 5th instant all but fifteen of the teachers were present. The subjects discussed were of an atteresting character, and calculated to advance the efficiency of the schools. The library is not as much used as it ought to be.
Ontario (County) Teachers' Association.
In 1880 we had 50 members belonging to our Teachers' Association; fees of mem- bership 50 cents per annum.
The Canada School Journal and the Educational Monthly are supplied to the mem- bers at 75 cents for both, per annum, out of the general fund.
We have discussed the best methods of teaching the different subjects of the Public School programme, and also school discipline, management and government.
Lectures have been delivered on various educational topics ; as " The Influence of the Teacher," " The Value and Acquirement of Knowledge," etc.
North York Teachers' Association.
The members paying fees in 1880 numbered about 30, and this year over 40. The number who attended the semi-annual conventions last year was nearly 60, and this year the number has increased to over 60 ; while the attendance of High School students and friends of education at the regular discussions has also largely increased, making the regular sessions average from 60 to 100. At the public meetings on the evening of the first day the largest room of the Model School is usually crowded. Owing to the distance some teachers have to travel, and the early hour at which the only available train leaves in the afternoon of Saturday, the session of the second day is considerably smaller.
The character of the work done at the conventions is invariably of a practical kind, and is usually accompanied with practical teaching and blackboard illustration. The aid of leading educationists has been secured at every convention of late. Among these may be named Mr. Hughes, P S.I., Toronto ; Mr. Scott, Provincial Model School; Mr. and Miss Lewis, Elocutionists ; Dr. McLellan, Mr. J. M. Buchan, etc., etc.
The subjects taken up at our convention last week were : —
Teaching Reading and Speaking, Miss Lewis.
Best Methods of Teaching a Child How to Read.
Reading, by Convention.
Subjunctive Mood.
Drill and ( 'alisthenics.
Simple Rules in Arithmetic.
Elementary Music.
School-room Hygiene.
Methods of Teaching Geography.

From opinions expressed by some present, and from observation, it is apparent that the Association is growing in interest and usefulness. It offered, during the closing year, to supply the Canada School Journal to paid-up members for 25 cents, paying the balance on club rates out of the funds of the Association. For next year it is proposed, at the same rate, to supply members with two educational monthlies.
The library, though containing many valuable professional works, is not used so extensively as its merits deserve.
North Simcoe Teachers' Association.
With respect to the Teachers' Association, it is in a most nourishing condition. Two half-yearly meetings were held within each year, as required by law, of which the following sketch is appended : —

Our grant has enabled us to make a most generous oS'er to our teachers with respect to the taking of different educational journals, and the result has been a very livelj interest in that class of literature, and a much more intelligent appreciation of the end and aim of teaching, and a more thorough mastery of the principles which should govern it. Teachers' Associations are doing very great good, and your Department would accomplish much by preparing a circular, and sending to Inspectors for general distri- bution, in which it was distinctly stated that every teacher would be required to attend, and that Trustees were to see that they did so if possible. An opinion prevails, to a larger extent than is generally believed, that these meetings are simply an' excuse for the teachers to meet together as a mutual admiration society and to enjoy themselves. To remedy this state of things we are endeavouring to secure the attendance of Trustees at the meetings, and already much good has been done. Next meeting it is intended to discuss certain questions from their standpoint, and to invite them to prepare papers.
Our attendance has been each day from 80 to 120, speaking very highly for the interest among the teachers. As, however, the entrance or membership fee is very small, this represents only a small amount of money, but with the grant we have been able to keep out of debt, except to our officers.
Halton Teachers' Association.
1. It has been the practice of the Association, for some years past, to meet at the following places in rotation, viz. : — Milton, Oakville, Georgetown, Acton and Burlington. The citizens of these places have shewn a warm interest in the Association, and have greatly aided in making the meetings successful, by their hospitality to the members, and by their attendance at the various sessions.
2. The Association meets semi-annually, in the months of February and October. The meetings extend over two days and a half. On the first and second days, morning, afternoon and evening sessions are held. The morning and afternoon sessions are devoted to the reading of papers, and to the discussion of subjects pertaining to Public School work. Committees also are appointed to prepare reports on matters affecting the welfare of the schools, the pupils, or the teachers. For example, reports on school equipment, truancy and absenteeism, teachers' residences, and the Superannuation Fund, have been considered. The lectures in the evening have been uniformly interesting and successful.
3. It has been the aim of the management committee to make the meetings of practical service to the teacher in the school-room, and to bring into sympathetic union the teachers and the people.
4. The number of teachers present at the first meeting held in 18S0 was 61 ; at the second, between 50 and 60. These numbers were increased in 1881. At the first meet- ing 71 teachers were present, and at the second 66.
Brant Teachers' Association.
The membership of the Institute is about 120. The attendance during the past nine years has been usually good, and the work done of great advantage, especially to the young teachers.
In 1880 two meetings were held, each extending over two days. The first was on Friday and Saturday, the 4th and 5th June ; the second was on Friday and Saturday, the 19th and 20th November. In 1881, the first meeting was on Friday and Saturday, the 10th and 1 1th June. The second meeting will be held on the 18th and 19th of November, prox. I enclose the programmes, as showing in brief the character of the work done at these meetings.

Lincoln Teachers' Association.
Two meetings were held in 1 880 — one in May and the other in October. The register shows 115 teachers to have attended the first, from county, city, and outside. The second meeting, owing to foul weather, was not so largely attended. Outside assistance was given from Messrs. J. L. Hughes, W. Scott, George W. Ross, M.P., Professor D. C. Bell, and others.
In 1881, the lirst meeting was held in May, conducted by J. M. Buchan, M.A., Mr. Eckert, of London East, and others from our own locality. About 110 teachers were in attendance.
Instead of a second meeting, we are holding a series of Township Institutes, with very great advantage, (1) in securing a full attendance of teachers, none absenting them- selves ; (2) in being able to use a school in actual session for our illustrations ; (3) in securing assistance from many persons who would not venture to help at a county meeting ; and (4) in being able to take up the actual difficulties of the teachers, they being more free in stating them on such occasions.
Five such meetings have now been held here, and I have no hesitation in saying that they not only accomplish all that the county meeting could have done, but exceed it in usefulness in some respects.
Welland Teachers' Association.
1880. — Meetings. — The County Teachers' Association held two meetings during the year 1880, the first at Port Colborne, and the second at Clifton.
Attendance. — The number of teachers in attendance at the first meeting was about 80, and at the second about 60.
Receipts. — The receipts comprised the Government Grants alone, amounting to $50.
Expenditure. — The expenditure for all purposes amounted to $23.98.
1881. — Meetings. — Two meetings have been held — one at Welland, and the other at Thorold.
Attendance. — About 85 teachers were present at the first meeting, and about 55 at the second.
Finance. — The receipts to date amount to $25, and the disbursements are between $45 and $50.
Work of Association. — As to the work of the Association, it is difficult to speak. To say that it has been largely useful would be over-estimating its value. Whether the practical benefit is proportionate to the annual grant and the expense of attending, is a question which is open to argument. It is doubtful, however, if the cause of education would have suffered from a want of the Association.
The meeting together of persons belonging to the same calling may be made to be advantageous ; but when individuals, overlooking the objects for which such meeting is designed, employ means calculated to cause it to subserve purposes quite different from its legitimate objects, and the time to be uselessly employed, it becomes a question whether, instead of being a benefit, it is not, on the contrary, an evil.
For training purposes, a well-conducted Model School would no doubt quite super- sede the usefulness of a Teachers' Association, and the most certain way to affect the schools favourably is to give the teachers as thorough a training as possible before granting them certificates, and with a view to this the new Model School Regulations are a step in the right direction.
Haldimand Teachers' Association.
During the years 1880 and 1881 the regular semi-annual meetings of the Haldimand Teachers' Association were held. The regulations governing Teachers' Associations, and approved of by the Hon. the Minister of Education, have been fully complied with. The attendance of the teachers at these semi-annual meetings was all that could be desired.

The Association is doing a good work, inasmuch as it tends largely to improve and unify the system of instruction in all the schools throughout the county.
We have in connection with the Association, a Teachers' professional library of 107 volumes.
Up to the present year the Legislative appropriation has been duly received, but since the organization of the Association only one grant of $50 has been received from the County Council.
Norfolk Teachers' Association.
In 1880 two Institutes were held — the first on February 13th and 14th, at which the attendance aggregated (118) one hundred and eighteen ; the second was held on July 2nd and 3rd, 1880, the attendance at which was (77) seventy-seven.
In 1881 there were also held two Institutes — first on February 4th and 5th, 76 teachers being present ; the second on June 30th (lasting only one day, for reasons pre- viously explained by Inspector), at which the attendance was about (70) seventy.
In the latter part of 1880 the Association expended over $30 in purchasing books for a professional library, and have since added several volumes. The library now consists of some 60 volumes.
At the various Institutes held by the Association, the time has been occupied chiefly with discussions of the various methods of teaching the subjects of the school, and in con- sidering other matters of interest to the profession.
It has been the endeavour to make them as useful and practical, and, at the same time, as interesting as possible.
Several of the clergymen and others of the town have contributed and read papers on various educational topics.
In connection with the several meetings of the Association, public meetings have been held and addresses, papers, readings and music have formed the evening's entertain- ment. The object of such meetings has been to arouse a deeper interest in the public mind in regard to educational matters.
Altogether the Association is in a very good condition.
Observations by Inspector Wadsworth.
There is some difficulty in getting up an attractive programme every six months. In fact, the subjects have been worn threadbare. We want a "new departure" in these Institutes. Perhaps an Institute held yearly in some central town, at which the teachers of four or five counties could meet and hear addresses from, first-rate men, in addition to their own contributions, might work well. It would do us good to get out of our own county groove. There would be more mental friction. Something is needed.

FEATURES OF MANAGEMENT.
1. Time of the Institute is devoted to practical work, "How I teach the subject" being the motto. After each exercise, questions are in order, if bearing on the subject before the Institute, and short criticisms.
2. So far as is possible without risking the success of the Institute, " local " talent is used.
3. After the Institute had been fairly launched under the Regulations of the Depart- ment, the Inspector withdrew from official connection with the Institute, leaving it in the hands of the Treasurer of the County.
4. The interest is sustained, teachers now looking forward to the Sessions of the Institute with pleasure.
5. There is no doubt that many points discussed at the Institute are bearing fruit in the school-room.
6. The Sessions are remarkably free from all signs of jealousy, or other causes of contention among members.
7. Members assigned work for the Institute are gradually overcoming the tendency to exhibit a knowledge of the subject, and are substituting instead thereof methods of teaching the subject.
8. No pressure has been brought to bear on teachers or trustees with the view of securing attendance of the former. Trustees as a rule are ready to attend when a good programme of work is published, and are willing their teachers should close school in order to attend the Institute.
Waterloo Teachers' Association.
1880. — This Association was in a most efficient condition during last year. There was a meeting in January and another in September, each lasting two days. The pro- gramme consisted of methods of teaching, essays and debates. Number of members, 55 ; number of volumes in library, 200.
1881. — This Association continues in a flourishing condition. There was a meeting in January and one in September, each lasting two days. The time was taken up in illustrating methods of teaching, and with essays, debates and discussions on questions relating to the profession generally. Number of members, 71 ; number of volumes in library, 241.

Dufferin Teachers' Association.
The Teachers' Association in this County was formed on the 25th June last, and was in session for one day, and the semi-annual session for the last half of 18S1 was held in Orangoville on the 14th and 15th October. At the first meeting 26 teachers were enrolled as members, and 18 more at the last meeting — 44 in all. Every teacher in the county and town was present at the last meeting excepting 4. The last meeting was very interesting, many of the teachers taking part in discussing the best methods of teaching, etc.
The teachers show much enthusiasm in regard to the Association, and it is probable that in a short time we will have one in operation that will be a credit to the County, nearly every member taking some educational paper.
The fee is $1, and the Association furnishes the educational paper, or 50 cents with- out, per annum, and, by resolution, the grant from the Department and County Council is to be expended in purcliasing books for a Teachers' Library.
North Crey Teachers' Association.
1. The Association held two meetings in 1880 and two in 18S1, at the last three of which meetings the subjects named in the accompanying programmes were taken up and discussed.
2. At the October meeting of 1N80, the question of a Teachers' Library for the Rid- ing was discussed, and the desirability of the establishment of one was unanimously con- ceded, but the want of funds was then held to be an insurmountable difficulty. This difficulty is, however, being slowly overcome, in a chief degree by subscriptions and by proceeds of entertainments, the amount in hand, and now in the Library Fund, being nearly $35. When the grant from the Department is received, a Library will be procured at once.
3. At the October meeting of the present year, a broad and comprehensive scheme for the uniform classification of the schools in the Riding was brought up, discussed and adopted, and it is proposed to give effect to it in 1882.
4. Resolutions have also been passed respecting the Superannuation Fund and vaca- tions and other matters.
6. The average attendance of teachers at the meetings is from 50 to 60. The number of members on the roll is 40, of whom 26 have paid their membership fees. 6. The amount of money now in hand for all purposes is over $35.
South Grey Teachers' Association.
Our annual meetings are held on the last Thursday and Friday of May in each year at Flesherton ; and the semi-annual meeting in the early part of October, at Durham, and are usually attended by from 50 to 70 teachers of the Inspectorate.
In 1881 we held two very successful and profitable conventions in May at Flesherton, and in October at Durham. About 70 of the teachers were present, and about $40 were expended in paying lecturers, who were invited from a distance.
An annual fee of 25 cents is charged, which has been paid by 60 members, each of whom has been supplied, free '>t' any other charge, with a copy of the Canada School Journal or the Examiner.
The second semi-annual meeting of the South Grey Teachers' Association was held at the town of Durham on the 6th ami 7th days of ( >ctober inst.
The sessions wen- largely attended, the discussions were practical and highly interest- ing, and the opinion was generally and freely expressed, that this was one of the most interesting and successful meetings of the Association ever held.

South Perth Teachers' Association.
During the year 1880 there were two meetings of the South Perth Teachers' Associa- tion held, at which John M. Moran, the President, occupied the chair. There were not more than ten per cent, of the teachers of the Riding absent from either meeting, and the attendance on each occasion was increased by the presence of parties interested in, though not connected with, the profession of teaching. At the meeting held on the 12th and lMtli March, at Mitchell, we had a discussion on "Spelling," introduced by Mr. Shaw; on "Time Tables," by Mr. McGregor ; on " Reading," by Miss B. Oliver ; on " English." by Mr. Jolliffe, and an entertainment in the evening under the management of Mr. McNeil, to which the people of the town turned out in such numbers as to till the town hall beyond its comfortable capacity.
On the 15th and 16th of October in the same year we had a meeting at St. Marys, attended by almost all the teachers of the district and very many " outsiders." The sub- ject of " Writing " was brought up for discussion by Miss B. Oliver; "Grammar," by Messrs. Munro and McGregor ; and afterwards we had essays or lectures on " English Literature" and "History" from Mr. Buchan, High School Inspector; on "Primary Teaching," by Mr. J. Dearness, of London ; on " Examinations and Certificates of Teach- ers," by Miss K. Ballantine, of Stratford.
In the spring of 1881 the Association met at Mitchell again, with Mr. S. Nethercott as President, and was addressed by Mr. J. M. Buchan on the subjects of "English " and " History." Or. Ounsmore's address on " Hygiene " was attentively listened to, and was followed by Mr. Moran's remarks on "Hasty and Superficial Teaching." There were several other subjects discussed, and there was a public entertainment in the evening, Miss Reidy, of Simcoe, being the chief performer, which was very well attended. This meeting, taken altogether, was considered one of the most satisfactory and profitable meet- ings the Society ever had.
The two Associations of the County united in having a large convention on the 7th, 8th and 9th July, 1881. The "Superannuation of Teachers" was discussed by Mr. A. S. McGregor; "Our Poor Relations," by Mr. Boyle, of Elora ; "Canadian History," by S. Woods, M.A, of Stratford; " English," by J. M. Buchan, M.A. ; " Elocution," by Miss Lewis, of Toronto ; " How to Teach Writing," by Mr. Eckert, of London East. The attendance at this meeting was very large, and its effect very beneficial. There was an entertainment in connection with it.
On the 5th inst. the South Perth Association met at St. Marys, but not half the teachers were present, on account of the very bad weather. Nevertheless, the meeting was not without interest and profit. Besides the election of officers, the following subjects occupied the attention of the teachers present : " Discipline," Mr. Nethercott ; " Requi- sites of a Successful Teacher," John M. Moran ; and "Professional Etiquette," Mr. Kirk- pa trick.
West Middlesex Teachers' Association.
There are 1 12 teachers engaged in this Division, and of these the average attendance at the Association is 90. These meetings are largely attended, considering the incon- veniences for travelling and the state of the roads generally. At the annual meeting, usually held in May, the officers and committees are chosen by a vote of the members present, and hold these offices for one year. The Managing Committee are summoned by the Secretary-Treasurer by order of the President, and when collected arrange the pro- gramme for the next Association. This usually takes place one month before the Asso- ciation meets. The programme usually consists of the subjects taught in Public Schools, and the lecturers are chosen from among the best teachers in the division. After each lecture is closed some time is allowed for discussion, thus spurring the lecturer to do justice to his subject. The Association consists of four sessions averaging three hours, during which time the roil is called eight times. The last session is devoted largely to general business, consisting of improvements on our system of promotion, discussing superannuation, report from Ontario Teachers' Association, etc. Our present system of
143
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
promotion consists of: The pupils write answers to questions prepared by the Public Schools Inspector, and these answers are read by a central committee of examiners chosen by the Association.
West Huron Teachers' Association.
The West Huron Teachers' Institute secured the assistance of Mr. G. W. Ross at the February ( 1 880) meeting. Since that time the meetings have been conducted by our- selves. They are held at Goderich and Exeter alternately, so as to suit all the teachers in the District, at least once a year. The attendance has been kept up very well, and the interest seems to increase with each succeeding meeting. We find that teachers will ask questions and discuss subjects when we are alone, and the preference is to fully discuss subjects of importance from which we shall receive benefit. The attendance has averaged at least one hundred, and the results of the meetings are very satisfactory.
P.S. — Upon behalf of the Association, the thanks of its members are returned for the handsome present of books and reports made to the Institute.
East Bruce Teachers' Association.
There were two meetings held in each year, one at Walkerton and the other at Paisley. In 1880 the meetings were in June and December, and in 1881 in June and October. Each meeting continued for two days, and consisted of the exercises of a pro- gramme previously arranged, and of which the teachers had a month's notice, according to the Regulations. One meeting of each year was conducted solely by the members of the Association, but at the other meeting we were assisted by outside talent. In 1880 we were assisted by Prof. Harrison, who gave us lessons in Elocution, also Readings on Friday evening. In 1881 our assistance was G. W. Ross, Esq., M.P., who lectured on Intellectual Forces on Friday evening, and discussed before the Association, School Man- agement and Routine, Reading, and questions propounded through the Question Drawer.
The exercises contributed by the members consisted of addresses, essays, discussions of approved methods of teaching, particular subjects and educational topics generally, reports, Question Drawer, and the general business of the Association.
We have a library in connection with the Association, but during these years it has not been extensively patronized.
■\Vkst Bruce Teachers' Association.
1880. — This Association held two Sessions, of two days each, in 1880 — one in June, and the other in October. There were about SO teachers present at the June meeting, and the great majority of them took great interest in the programme, which was exceedingly practical. Besides readings, recitations, and two or three excellent essays, there were illustrations given of the most approved methods of teaching the following subjects : Decimal Fractions; Grammatical Definitions; Map Geography, with class; Algebra, "Symmetry;" Mental Arithmetic, with Association formed into a class; Spelling and Dictation, with illustration of method of correcting errors ; Map Drawing, with class. There was also an address on Education by the Rev. Mr. Starr.
At the October meeting there were about 70 teachers present. Besides the usual essays and recitations, the following subjects w-ere discussed very creditably : History, Tudor Period; Penmanship : Merit Marks; Percentage applied to Interest and I liscount ; Fourth Book Literature ; Exercise in Pronunciation ; Algebra ; Mensuration. The Rev. Mr. Pomeroy gave an address on Education, and Rev. Mr. McDonagh gave a \ ery able lecture on "Religion and Science, on the same Basis."
1881. — The West Bruce Teachers' Association held two successful conventions during the current year — one in June, and the other in October. At the June meeting, there were about 75 teachers present, most of whom took part in the work of the Association, and showed their interest in the discussions by remaining till the close. There were addresses given on the Methods of Keeping the dailv, general and class
144
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
registei-s ; the Duties of Teachers in regard to the preparation of reports ; and the Regula- tions in regard to text-books. The essays were carefully prepared, and, being highly practical, were listened to with great attention. There were also very interesting and valuable discussions on the following subjects: Township Associations and the Best Method of Conducting Them ; Corporal Punishment ; Recording the Work of the Day ; Proposed Regulations in regard to Superannuated Fund. The programme was also interspersed by music and recitations.
There were about 65 teachers in attendance at the October meeting. The following subjects were taken up by different members of the Association : Infinitives and Participles; Vulgar Fractions; Algebra; Agricultural Education; Short Methods in Arithmetic ; Canadian History. There was a very valuable discussion on " How > Secure Regular Attendance." G. W. Ross, M.P., dealt with "School Routine," and " How to Deal with Indolent Pupils," in a manner which clearly showed that he is a practical educationist. He also very clearly answered the questions which were found in the "Question Drawer." Mr. Ross gave an excellent lecture in the Town Hall before an appreciative audience.
We have a carefully-selected teachers' library, which adds materially to the interest taken in the Association.
In reviewing the past four years, it may be stated unhesitatingly that this Associa- tion has conferred a great benefit on the teachers that availed themselves of its meetings, and contributed in no small degree to the progress made in education in this Inspectoral Division.
Elgin Teachers' Association.
May Session, 1880. — Attendance 100 to 150. Principal lecturer, Mr. Kirkland, of Toronto Normal School.
December Session, 1880. — Lecturers, Messrs. Butler and Millar. Attendance 100 to 200.
June Session, 1SS1. — Lecturer, Geo. W. Ross.
November Session, 1881. — Lecturer, Prof. Bellows, A.M., C.E., from State Normal School, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
It may be conscientiously said that the Association has never had an uninteresting or an unprofitable Session. The attendance embraces nearly all the teachers from the County of Elgin and the City of St. Thomas. It has been our constant aim to devote the whole time to work of a practical nature ; that is, to work that has a direct bearing on the teachers' duties in the school-room ; and we have tried to have also in mind the motto of " The greatest good to the greatest number." •
The library has been lately increased by the addition of several volumes of Kinder- garten literature from the publishing house of E. Steiger & Co., N.Y., and is now valued at $600. We are endeavouring to have the spirit of the Kindergarten prove a leaven for the work of teaching in all the primary classes and schools.
It is believed by all here that the Association is an important element in our educational system.
East Kent Teachers' Association.
This Association, held in 1880 and 1881, semi-annual meetings, at which very fair Institute work was done. The enclosed programmes will show the kind of work. These meetings were attended by an average of about 50 teachers. There are 235 volumes in the teachers' library, and the teachers have access to over 400 volumes in the Ridgetown Mechanics' Library. With a view of introducing educational journals to the notice of teachers, 32 copies in all of the following were circu- lated for one year, viz.: "Canada Educational Monthly," "Canada School Journal," "Hamilton School Magazine," "New York Journal," "Educational Weekly," "New England Journal of Education," " Ohio Monthly," and the " Pennsylvania School Journal." These were in addition to those subscribed for privately by the teachers.

District No. 1 — Lambton Teachers' Association.
The Association would have had considerable money in the treasury, but the County Council refused to give the usual grant last year, and so far this year. At the last meeting of the Association a delegate was appointed to attend the next meeting of the Council, in December, and lay the claims of the Association before them.
In reference to the work done at the Association, it has been of a very practical character, and must prove a very great benefit to the teachers in the discharge of the duties of the school room. The attendance of teachers is usually very good, but there are some teachers who scarcely ever think it worth while attending the Association ; the number, however, is diminishing.
Our next meeting will be held in February, 1882.
West Lamhton Teachers' Association.
All the teachers of the Riding an- held to be members, and no fees are charged. Of about one hundred teachers of all kinds in the Division, no more than five or six have not attended any meeting in 1880 and 1881. Some of the High School teachers think they are under no obligation to attend, and occasionally do not, even when the School is closed on account of the Association meeting. The Separate School teachers are in doubt as to their relation to the Association. Some of them attend. At our last meeting over eighty teachers were present in spite of rain and mud, one walking eleven miles to a railway station by 5.30 a.m. of October 13.
Owing to the great distance at which many are apart, it is found very difficult to use our library, although it has been arranged that the Association will pay the postage one way for all books sent out. Some of our members think that lectures by prominent educationists are of more benefit than the library, while a majority think a good educa- tional journal is better than either. During the present year the Association has paid for the School Journal, and a copy has been addressed to the teacher of every section, and a parcel to each of the larger schools ; but the County Council having refused to make the usual grant for 1881, we have no funds to pay for it for next year.
All who attend regularly at all the sessions are convinced that they are greatly benefited by the meetings ; and as some need a little gentle compulsion, we have made an alphabetical list of the teachers, and ten in order are required to say something on the subject marked on the programme sent him. The names are called as they occur on the list after the person appointed to open has taken half the time allotted to the subject. In this way many were got to take part in our last meeting who never had anything to say before, and some of tbem did much better than others who were wont to talk a great deal, but have now to wait their turn. More good has been done this year by the Asso- ciation than in any previous one.
Dissrict No. 1 — North Essex Teachers' Association.
Local conventions were held in every Township of the North Hiding in May, 1880 and 1881, when the ablest teachers were assigned lessons to teach to different classes, and their methods of teaching were criticised by the other teachers. The teachers have to attend two of these local conventions.
We had, in October, 1880, a grand convention of all the teachers of North Essex, which was held in Windsor. Mr. Buchan, Inspector of High Schools, and Mr. <J. W. Ross, M.P., were present, and delivered several very useful lectures. Another grand convention was held in Sandwich this year, during the month of October. Dr. McLellan, [nspector of High Schools, has taken a great part in it, and by his interesting lectures raised a great enthusiasm among the teachers. Professor Sills, Superintendent of the Schools of the City of Detroit, was also present, and delivered a very interesting lecture.

This shows an increase of $2,706.54 above valuation of 1st of January, 1880, being profits on the transactions of 1880.
In closing the Depository Branch of the Education Department, it was considered desirable in the public interests that an examination of the stock on hand on the 1st of January, 1881, should be made, with the view of ascertaining what portion thereof, as w ;11 as of articles in the Museum, were specially applicable to the respective objects of eich of the Provincial Institutions, and that each Institution should receive a transfer of such stock, being charged with the value thereof upon a fair estimate of its salable value, if sold without sacrifice, and that the Depository and Museum should respectively receive credit for such amounts.
This work of examination was energetically entered upon by Dr. May, the Superin- tendent of the Museum and Depository, with the assistance of Mr. Wilkinson and other clerks of this Department ; and in the selection and distribution the official heads of the different Provincial Institutions, and the members of the Government in whose respective Departments the same were in charge, were consulted, and their directions and approvals obtained ; and from time to time, as this work progressed, proper bills of lading, lists, and inventories of the different articles selected, were prepared in complete form, and sent to each Institution for future reference. A summary of the values of all books, maps, apparatus, and other material transferred from the Educational Museum and Depository to the several public Institutions is hereto annexed, as well as a statement of the gross amounts of the different articles sent. From the summary it will appear that from the Museum their value was 812,31(5.43 ; from the Depository, $15,995.82 ; being a total of $28,312.25, of which the

Division 3. Statistics of Public, Separate, and High Schools for the Year 1880.
1. Public Schools.
1. Receipts and Expenditures, also Comparisons with the Year 1879.
Receipts. — 1. The amount apportioned from the Legislative grant was $263,454, being $249,352 for Public Schools, and $14,102 for Separate Schools— increase, $10,889. The apportionment is made to the several Counties, Townships, Cities, Towns and Incorpo- rated Villages, according to the ratio of the population in each, as compared with the whole population of the Province, as shown by the last annual returns from the respec- tive Counties, Cities and Towns separate. The principle of distribution amorgst the respective Schools in each Municipality is according to the average attendance and the time of keeping open the Schools, Public and Separate, in each such Municipality.
2. The amount from County Plates was $878,715, showing an increase of $4,644.
3. The amount available from Local Municipal Rates was $1,443,212 — increase, $10,059.
4. The amount from the Municipalities Fund, Surplus Distribution, and other like sources, applied to School purposes in 1880, was $669,446 — increase, $2,505.
5. The total receipts for all Public School purposes for the year 1880 amounted to $3,25 t,829, showing an increase of $28,098 over the total receipts of the year 1879.
6. A Table (A) also is given showing the receipts in detail.
Expenditure. — 1. The amount paid by Trustees for salaries of Teachers in 1880 was $2,113,180— increase, $40,357.
2. For maps, globes, prize books and libraries, $25,221 — decrease, $7,400.
3. For sites and building of school-houses, $249,389 — decrease, $56,635.
4. For rent and repairs of school-houses, etc., $434,261 — increase, $12,647.
5. Total expenditure for all Public School purposes, $2,822,052 — decrease, $11,031.
6. Balance of school moneys not paid at the end of the year when the returns were made, $432,776— increase, $39,130.
7. The average cost per pupil, based on total expenditure, was $5.66 for rural districts, $6.90 for cities, $6.07 for towns, being for the whole Province $5.85. In 1876, these figures were $5.98, $8.00, $6.10, and $6.15 respectively. The cost per pupil is therefore 32 cents for counties, $1.10 for cities, 3 cents for towns, and 30 cents for the Province, less than in 1876.
8. The cost per capita of each pupil based on expenditure for Teachers' salaries was $4..'i7 ; on maps, apparatus, etc., 6 cents ; on capital account, 52 cents ; all other sources, 90 cents.

■_'. School Population — Ages of Pupils — Pupils Attending Public Sciiools — Average Attendance.
The School Act of 1881 requires every Municipal Council, after the 1st of January next, to cause its Assessor to set down on the annual assessment roll, in separate columns, the number of children of the ages, over 16 and under 21, and between 7 and 13, in addition to tin- column between 5 and 16.
The law at present requires that the Trustees' returns of school population shall in- clude the whole number of children resident in their school division ; and confers the • fiiml right of attending the schools upon all residents in such < 1 i \ isions, between the ages of five and twenty-one years.
1. The school population (comprising only children between the ages of five and sixteen years) reported by Trustees was 489,924 — decrease, 4,500.
2. The number of pupils between the ages of five ami sixteen years attending the schools was 464,395— decrease, 3,450. Number of pupils of other ages attending the schools, 18,650 — decrease, 517. Total number of pupils attending the schools, 483,045 — decrease, 3,967.
3. The number of boys attending the schools, 255,677 — decrease, 3,379. The num- ber of girls attending the schools, 227,368- decrease, 588.
4. The number reported as not attending any school for four months during the year is 30,195 — increase. 2,786. These were between the ages of seven and twelve years, during which School Boards and Trustees were required by law to see that all the children in their school districts attended school for four months in the year; but 1>\ th - School Act of 1881, now in force, the parent or guardian of every child between the ages of 7 and 13 is required to cause such child to attend a public school for eleven weeks in each of the two terms of the Public School Year, and the attendance must be during the whole time, in each week, except in cases where half-time is allowed.
5. The following is an estimate of the total number of children of school age who are not attending any school : —
1. Total Xo. of Children of School Age (5 to 16) not attending any School.
The t tal school population (5 to 16) of the Province of Ontario 489,924
" No. of pupils attending (5 to 16) Public Schools . . . 464,395 No. of pupils attending High Schools (deducting 25 per cent.
Ei ir ages over 16) 9,633
No. of pupils at Universities, Colleges, Private Schools, Arc.
(deducting 50 per cent, for ages under 5 and over 16) . . 5,750
479,778
Estimate of number not attending any school 10,146
Or, 2 per cent, of the total school population.
2. Estimate of Total No. of Children between 7 and 12 years of age not attending any
School. According to data in Table, the No. of children between 7 and 12 years of age should be at least, one-half of the total school population (5 to 16), viz.: 244,962 ; but, to this there has been added 20 percent. = 48,992, for the prevailing ages (7 to 12), thus making 293,954 children between those ages ; 2 per cent, of this would give the total
number of children from 7 to 12 not attending any school as 5,878
Or, L' per cent, of the total number of children (7 to 12).
It is to be remembered that under the provisions of the law in force during the year L880 and for the first half of L881, while the principle of compulsory attendance was recognized and any parent was liable in penalties for the non-attendance of his children between 7 and 12 years of age during four months of the year, yet, inasmuch as no pro- ceeding could be taken until after such default had occurred, these provisions were prac tically inoperative. The School Act of 1881, 44 Vic, chap. 30, however, provides efficient

machinery for securing the attendance of each child during the respective periods of 11 weeks in each of the two Public School terms, by similar provisions to those in compulsory by-laws under the elementary English Act and under the compulsory clauses of the Scotch Act. The Provincial Act took effect during the last term of 1881, and when its provisions for securing the attendance of children as well as the obligation resting upon School Boards and Trustees are generally understood, it is to be anticipated that in future years the number of children of school age not receiving instruction will be gradually reduced to comparative insignificance.
6. The average attendance, viz., the aggregate daily attendance divided by the num- ber of legal teaching days in the year, being 221 for Rural and ill! for Urban' Schools, was 220.06S — increase, 626.
7. The percentage of average attendance, as compared with total number attending school, is for Rural Districts, 43 per cent. ; Cities, 57 per cent. ; Towns, 55 per cent. : Province, 46 per cent.
8. The average attendance of pupils is Hi per cent, of the total population.

11. Public School Examinations. — The whole number of Public School Examinations was 8,976 — decrease, 687 ; though less than two for each School. In each School a pub- lic quarterly examination is required to be held, and the teacher is directed to give notice to trustees and parents of pupils, and to the school visitors resident in the Section. It is intended that such examinations be tests of efficiency on the part of teachers, and of the progress of pupils.
12. School Prizes and Merit Curds.- The number of Schools in which prize-, are reported as having been distributed is 1,502 — decrease, 206.

While the Public Schools Act provides that "No person shall require any pupil in any Public School to read or study from any religious book, or to join in any exercise of devotion or religion objected to by his or her parent," the Department has framed regulations of a recommendatory nature on the subject, with forms of prayers, in the earnest hope that School Boards, Trustees, and Teachers may thus be better enabled to impress upon their pupils the principles and duties of our common Christianity. In 4,489 out of 5,137 schools, religious exercises of the kind recommended by the Department are voluntarily conducted.
14. Maps. — Maps are used in 4,752 schools — increase, 8. Total number of maps used in schools, 40,l04 — increase, 117.

Division 4.
Comparisons between the period from 1872 to 1876, and from 1877 to 18S1 inclusive.
1. In Legislation.
The legislation of 1871 and 1877 respectively mark the beginning of important changes in the elementary and secondary branches of education. By the Act of 1871 all common schools became "free public schools," and every child from seven to thirteen years of age, inclusive, was thereby declared to have the legal right of attending some public school Parents were also required to see that each child attended some school for at least four months in each year. County Inspectors with larger powers and duties were substituted for the " Local Superintendents,'' and also appointed for cities and towns, their qualifications being prescribed by the Council of Public Instruction. County Boards of Examiners were established for the examination and licensing of teachers under regulations of the Council of Public Instruction, which was also required by a Committee of its appointment to prescribe a programme and prepare papers for the uniform examination and classification of Public School teachers — First Class Certificates being awarded by the Council of Public Instruction only, and Second and Third Class Certificates by County and City Boards of Examiners only ; First and Second Class Cer- tificates being permanent during good behaviour, and valid throughout the Province, and any existing Certificates being continued in force in their respective counties. The Council of Public Instruction was also required to provide by the training of teachers, programme of study and the selection of text-books, and special regulations, for teaching in the Public Schools, amongst other subjects, the elements of natural history, of agri- cultural chemistry, of mechanics and of agriculture, but these latter were made optional ■ by the Act of 1877.
Trustees were declared to be personally responsible for school moneys if they neglected to take proper security from their Secretary-Treasurer ; disputes between trustees and teachers were referred to settlement in the Division Court ; the summer vacation was to continue from the 15th July to the loth August ; Public Schools in cities, towns and villages were placed under School Boards, and County Councils were empowered to establish Township Boards, on the vote however of two-thirds of the school sections therein ; the County and other Grammar Schools became High Schools, and one half of the amount of the High School Grant was required to be raised in cities, towns separated, and counties, and all other sums for maintenance and school accommoda- tion, by the municipality in which the High School was situate; the period of the summer vacation in the High School was established from 1st July to the 15th August.
Jurisdiction was given to the County Judge over persons having school moneys or property in their hands. This and other Acts were consolidated in 1874 into one Statute for Public and High Schools respectively, and such consolidation forms the basis of the Revised Statutes, Chap. 203, 204 and 205, with the Amendments made by the Act of Is 77. This Act was an early result of the change affected in 187G, when the Education Department, constituted by a Committee of the Executive Council of the Province, and a member thereof as Minister, were substituted for the Council of Public Instruction and the Chief Superintendent respectively. Only such provisions and amendments were made by this Act as appeared to be then urgently required for the further improvement of our system. By this Act the Education Department was author- ized to take the following important steps in advance, namely : To grant equivalents in the ■ amination of Public School Teachers for that in the High Schools ; to arrange with Public School Boards for establishing one of the Public Schools in each county as a County Model School, for affording normal or professional training to candidates for Third Class
212

Certificates, which they had not previously received or been examined upon ; to require at any Normal or County Model School the examination in professional instruction ; and such further conditions to be complied with by all candidates for Public School Teachers' Certificates as would secure duly qualified teachers in the several schools ; to award, upon the examination and report of the Central Committee, all First and Second Class Cer- tificates; to encourage Teachers' Associations.
The school year was divided into two terms : the first from the Third of January till the Seventh of July, and comprising 132 teaching days ; and the second from the Eight- eenth of August to the Twenty-third of December, and comprising 90 teaching days — and for the year 222 such days. The summer vacation was extended to forty days in rural sections, instead of thirty under the former law ; and in cities, towns and villages became the same as in the High Schools, namely, for seven weeks.
The proceedings in the formation of Township Boards and settlement of difficulties consequent thereon, were made more certain, as well as those respecting the formation, alteration and dissolution of all school unions. The assessment and collection of Public School rates was transferred from the trustees to the Municipalities ; and the Separate Schools were authorized to take advantage of this agency, and thereby also ascertain the Separate School supporters. The quarterly payment of teachers' salaries was also authorized, as also County Grants to County Model Schools and to Teachers' Associations. The power of County Boards of issuing Second Class Provincial Certificates under the Act of 1871 was taken away, and limited to Third Class Certificates. High Schools were replaced in their original position of County Grammar Schools, and the County equivalent made at least equal to the Legislative Grant, while the local municipality was under a similar obligation, as well as providing for all school accommodation.
The Acts of 1879, 1880 and 1881 were also found necessary in the further progress of our system, as well as to remove doubts and simplify the procedure at school elections. Requisite checks for the protection of the ratepayers on expenditure on capital account were also provided. Useful and beneficial provisions of the School Law were applied to Separate Schools, and a representation given them on the County Board of Examiners. By that of 1880 an optional provision for rural school trustees to shorten the summer vacation to four weeks (the original period in the Act of 1871) was passed, but the extent of its operation has yet to be ascertained. A satisfactory machinery for the equalization of rates in unions was provided, and it was made clear that the muni- cipality should assess, collect and pay over school rates without any charge or expense to the school corporation. In 1881, for the first time, efficient provisions were introduced for securing school attendance for all children between the ages of seven and thirteen years, for a period of twenty-two weeks in two terms of eleven weeks each in each year ; and as these are similar to the means adopted for compelling attendance by By-laws of School Boards in England and the Education Act of Scotland, the result in future years should show improved attendance, if School Boards and trustees properly fulfil their duty in this essential for the more complete success of our elementary system.
2. Administration.
The two periods of five years each, between 1872 and 1876 inclusive, and between 1 S77 ami L881 inclusive, present a favourable opportunity for comparison in several particulars and especially in the practical results which best illustrate the operation of the principles of any system and its efficiency.
The administrative record of the Council of Public Instruction appearing in the Reports shows the number of meetings which took place during 1871 to 1875 inclusive, namely, in 1871, twenty-two ; in 1872, twenty-six ; in 1873, sixteen; and in 187-1 (with its elected members) fifteen meetings were held, and in 1875, ten.
During the years 1871 and 1872 the following subjects were considered and dealt
213
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
with by such Council, namely : Regulations respecting the qualification of Inspectors and Examiners, and as to the examination and classification of teachers under the provisions of the new Act of 1871 ; the appointment of the Committee of Examiners, consisting of Professor Young and High School Inspectors McKenzie and J. A. McLellan, to prepare examination papers for candidates for Certificates as Public School Teachers, and a programme for their examination ; the consideration of text-books and the approval and adoption of an additional list of authorized books for the Public and High Schools respectively ; the programme, course of study, and regulations for the Public Schools, and increased facilities in the Normal School.
Communications took place between the Government and the Council as to the High School entrance regulations, and as to the revision of the Readers, when instructions were received from the Provincial Secretary that before any future revision of text-books was undertaken the necessity therefor should be pointed out to the Government.
In January 1873 the Council adopted a petition to the Legislature setting forth its claims for continuance, and objecting to the proposed elective principle. A third High School Inspector was appointed. A programme and regulations for High Schools and Collegiate institutes, and as to the admission of pupils, were adopted, while the former requirements for Third Class Certificates were adhered to. A Committee was appointed for the examination of text-books. In the year 1874 the Council of Public Instruction was composed of the Chief Superintendent, eight members appointed by the Lieutenant- Governor, six elected by each College possessing University powers, one by the High School masters, one by the Inspectors of Public Schools, and one by the teachers of the Public Schools, being in all eighteen.
In the following year the Council considered recommendations from the Central Committee as to examination papers for High School admission, and for the examination of students in the Normal School, and for Public School teachers ; also as to the revision of the regulations respecting the programme of study in the High and Public Schools, and the duties of High and Public School Inspectors, trustees, teachers ami others ; also as to the revision of text-books, and the catalogue of books for library and prizes. These were respectively referred to Committees, and that on library and prize books was instructed at the meeting of 10th December, 1874, to inquire into an improved mode of supplying a better class of library and prize books. The qualifications of Head Masters and Assistants in High Schools were defined, and also the value and duration of First, Second and Third Class Certificates. In 1875 a sub-committee was appointed to take into consideration the working of the Book Depository, with the view of supplying the best class of books for library and prize purposes, and also with reference to the general interests of the Province for the free circulation of literature through the ordinary trade channels. Notice was also given to authors and publishers that the Council had not before them any History of Canada which would meet the requirements of the schools, and that they would gladly take into consideration any new work on this subject which might be submitted to them, with the view to its adoption as a text-book. A list of books recommended by the Committee on Text-books was added to the list of approved text-books. The suggestions of the High School Inspectors, and proposed regulations for the Intermediate Examination in High Schools, and the application thereto of the principle of -'payment by results" were considered and approved of by the Council on the 4th day of May 1875, and these regulations took effect at the Examinations in July 1876; regulations and course of study for the Normal and Model Schools at Toronto wen- also adopted ; also as to Teachers' Certificates in new Townships. The programmes and courses of study in the Public and High Schools respectively were also revised.
In the second period from 1876 to 1881 the matters dealt with by Orders in Council it Minutes of the Education Department were in 1876 (from March) 56; in L877 87 : in 1878 111; in 1879 117 ; in 1880 132 ; and in 1881 91.

4- Programme and Course of Study.
In matters directly affecting the educational results of the schools themselves, such as the Course of Study, Text Books, and the efficiency of Teachers, the particulars during these respective periods are shown in the several yearly Reports. In the Course of Stud)' prescribed in 1874 by the Council of Public Instruction, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, and English Language were essentials ; but Physiology and Natural History, Natural Philosophy, Agriculture, Chemistry and Botany, Christian Morals and Civil Government were also declared to be subjects which should be included in such course, as being easily learned by pupils under twelve years of age, and such subjects were accordingly prescribed. Twenty-seven and a half hours per week were fixed for school-room study, while the work for home preparation in the First and Second Classes was to occupy half an hour each evening ; in the Third and Fourth, an hour to an hour and a half ; and in the Fifth and Sixth, from an hour and a half to two hours ; and parents were directed to see that this work was attended to by their children at home. The Regulations also prescribed the following Time Table :—

It was also provided that the order of subjects should be followed and taught in the time prescribed per week for each subject, and none omitted.
Under the Regulations of 1877 the course of study became more flexible, in expressly providing that it was to be followed so far only as the circumstances of each school would allow, when the necessary modifications were permitted. The former limit- table was repealed, and School Boards and Trustees with their teacher left to regulate the time of teaching in their discretion. Teachers were also instructed that the course of study had reference to thoroughly graded schools only, and that in other schools, and especially in rural, deviations were permissible, the Inspector approving. The teacher was also directed to instruct his pupils by his own personal efforts and knowledge, and less by text-book and rote memory, especially in the First, Second and Third Classes. Subjects such as Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and Agriculture were made optional. Hygiene was to be taught by familiar information given by the teacher, and no text-book used, while teachers were directed to take their own boys and put them through portions of squad drill ; calisthenics were to be taught to the girls. Teachers in their conduct and discipline were enjoined to be examples for good, and so to beneficially influence the bearing and character of each pupil.
5. Text Books.
As to text-books, the Return in Sessional Papers of 1881, No. 36, presents the fol- lowing comparisons, viz.: List of authorized Public School text-books on 1st July, 1867 ; list of additional books authorized by the Council of Public Instruction from 1st July, 1867, to 31st December, 1875 ; and list of books authorized by the Education Depart- ment from 1876, to January, 1881. This Return also gives full particulars of the text- books in each list, their educational merits, mechanical execution and retail prices, and shows the great improvement which now exists.
In the parting circular of the late Chief Superintendent (February 29th, 1876), to the several Municipal Councils, he gives instances of the backward condition in 1846 of the schools, and the subjects which had engaged his attention since then, and amongst them text-books; as to which, in 1847, he reported "that there were in use upwards of 295 "textbooks; of spelling books 13, reading books 107, arithmetics 53, geographies 20, "histories 21, grammars 16, and in nine other subjects 53. Most of these were foreign, " and, in general, the prices wer s> high and the quality as inferior as their variety was " great. To relieve Canadian parents of such a burden, and the schools of such a nuisance, " was attended with difficulties, but which were speedily overcome. The Council of Public "Instruction, in 1846, adopted the Irish National series of text-books, having made an " arrangement with the Irish National Board that their books might be re-printed in Upper " Canada, or purchased in Dublin at 50 per cent, below the retail price there. The " Department here re-printed none of such books, but authorized their re-printing by "Canadian publishers who might apply. The immediate effect was the issue of two " Canadian editions of the Readers and the importation of original editions by booksellers, "and a consequent competition in quality and price." This series was continued in use in the Public Schools for twenty years, and having served a good purpose originally it became generally complained of as behind the times ; all editions, moreover, were poor in paper, printing and binding. They were superseded by the Canadian Readers in 1868.
The explanatory remarks which accompany the schedules in the Sessional Return referred to, justify the inference that our Public School text-books have reached a con- dition to-day so far satisfactory as to be considered almost permanent, except perhaps in affording some further choice in Readers suitable to the circumstances of this Province, and in supplying the want, which the Council of Public Instruction found in 1875, and which still exists, of a good school History of Canada which would present in an interest- ing anil narrative form such incidents of Canadian history as each child should know of his native land, inciting him in turn to imitate and become worthy of those Canadians whose brave deeds and energetic lives are to be found recorded there.

6. Teachers, their Training and Examination Tests.
Of all the requisite instrumentalities for securing satisfactory results in the elemen- tary and secondary branches of our system, the complete efficiency of each teacher is the most important and essential, and the nearer such efficiency is reached the greater the return for those large and liberal expenditures from public sources and individual ratepayers, and for the labour, care and interest bestowed everywhere throughout the Province in maintaining and promoting educational work. This work will fall short of affording reasonably adequate equivalents for all such money and labour expended unless each teacher is fully qualified, not only by knowledge and experience of the best mi tlii ids of instructiou in the subjects to be taught, by his aptitude thereiu, and power of discipline over his pupils, but in possessing full sympathy with each of them and presenting that good example in conduct which is so influential on their characters. Progress and improvement in this direction have been continuous, but it is here that con- stant advance must be made and vigilance exercised, for the mere standing still and being content with the present position would soon turn into retrogression ; and the service of teaching degenerate again into a mere stepping-stone for other pursuits, instead of its gradual development into the most meritorious and beneficial of all pro- fessions. It will be seen from the following references that from time to time efforts have been made towards obtaining better teachers in the elementary schools than formerly existed, and that the necessary means for qualifying them have gradually been improved and extended.
Soon after the passing of the Act of 1871, the Council of Public Instruction gave effect to its provisions for securing a uniform standard of questions by the Central Com- mittee of Examiners for all classes of Public School Teachers' Certificates, and the examination by such (ommittee of the papers for First Class Certificates, those for Second and Third Class being examined by the County Boards of Examiners. The Council also framed regulations for improving the course of instruction in the Normal and Model Schools, and in practice in the Model School ; also in the entrance examina- tion to the High Schools and for establishing half-yearly intermediate examinations therein. The minimum age then required of Third Class Candidates was sixteen for females and eighteen for males, and the minimum qualifications required a moderate knowledge of elementary subjects, but there was complete absence of any requirement as to experience iu teaching, or methods, or discipline. The tendency manifested was to a disproportionate increase in Third Class Candidates and decrease in the Second and First Class, and the like results in the number of Certificates annually granted, as appears by the following table : —

The Provincial Normal School at Toronto under its then system had not space to supply requisite professional training, except to the few obtaining Certificates, and fur- ther facilities for Normal School instruction were urgently needed, and this question required immediate attention. In the autumn of 1872 the Chief Superintendent accord- ingly recommended the establishment of three additional Normal Schools — one at Ottawa, one at Kingston, and one at London. (See Sessional Papers, 1875-6, No. 45.) In 1874 effect was given to the erection of a Normal and Model School at the City of Ottawa ; but the Chief Superintendent's proposal to acquire an existing institution at London for a similar purpose fell to the grouud. In the absence of better provision for the professional training of Public School Teachers, Teachers' Institutes were held, and the numerous attendance thereat contributed to the widespread convic- tion that this want should be supplied ; and Massachusetts and other States of the Union were pointed to as possessing Normal Schools in proportion to their population largely in excess of our two Provincial schools. The Ottawa Normal School (but without the Model School) was completed and began work in September, 1876. The following table shows the number of students in the Toronto Normal School in the years from 1872 to 1876 inclusive, the number who obtained Certificates, and their class in each year, and the approximate cost from current expenditure for each : —

It therefore became the first duty of the Education Department (as newly consti- tuted in the spring of 1876) to see that fuller opportunities were without delay provided for the professional training of every Teacher in the future composing this large staff, which it was requisite to annually keep up to the number of 6,000 at least, and in which

there was constant outflow. It became apparent that this difficulty could not be met by two or more Normal Schools with the like scope and course of instruction as that at To- ronto or Ottawa, and that the large preponderance of Third Class Candidates over First and Second Class required that schools for supplying professional traiuing should be gene- rally accessible throughout the Province, and made as locally convenient for gaining knowledge iu the art of teaching as our High Schools W9re for affording general educa- tion, of a quality, too, not inferior to that then given in the Normal Schools. The necessary legislation having been obtained in 1877, fifty County Model Schools were established, and the two Normal Schools were confined to the work of professional training for Second Class Certificates. The following table shows the results for the years 1877 to 1880, of the number of Teachers in training in the County Model Schools :—

Increased facilities have thus been obtained without adding much to Provincial expenditure for this purpose, and in fact the Province was saved from the expendi- ture then imminent of at least forty thousand dollars per annum, which would have been required for the current support of the two other proposed Normal Schools, as well as one hundred and fifty thousand dollars on capital account for the erection of their necessary buildings. The system of County Model Schools required no expen- diture on capital account, and the total annual appropriation does not exceed $5,200, and from the Counties about the same amount.
While the opportunities for the professional training of Public School Teachers have thus been adequately supplied, and Couuty Model Schools are now recognized as an essential part of our system of training Teachers, and as the permanent basis of success, our endeavours should not be relaxed in securing still higher educational qualifications for the several classes of Teachers' Certificates.
Amongst the necessary steps already taken with this object was the withdrawal from the County Boards and th9 transfer to the Central Committee of Examiners of the duty of examining and valuing the answers of Second Class Candidates in the Departmental Non-professional Examination, under the authority of the School Act of 1877. This was followed by the further change made by the regulations of the 20th March, 1880, iu relieving the County Board altogether of the labour and expense incurred in reading and valuing the answers to Third Class papers, and by making the subjects and questions for the Intermediate Examination common to those for Second and Third Class Certificates. The composition of the Central Committee was also improved by increasing the number of its members, and recently by adopting the principle of rotation in their appointments, and by requiring that the questions in their scope and object should be governed by principles approved by the Minister.
7. Inspection.
Thorough inspection of the elementary and secondary schools is also properly recognized as a necessary part of the organization of a complete system. Without it, there is no security for the satisfactory operation and condition of every school in respect of teaching, and its influence in the improvement of the mental, moral and physical natures of their several pupils. Where the inspection is efficiently done, the schools will be found to correspond in their efficiency also.
The Act of 1871, in abolishing " Local Superintendents " and establishing " County Inspectors," brought about great improvement in the teaching as well as in school accommodation and appliances. For the proper discharge of the responsible duties of
225
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
his office, the Inspector should possess not only educational qualities of a high order, us well as experience in teaching, and its best methods, but also soundness of judgment and discretion for dealing with the various local questions constantly arising in his inspectoral district.
The qualification prescribed by the Council of Public Instruction for all Public School Inspectors was that of a First Class Public School Teacher's Certificate, Grade " A." This was extended in 1877 to graduates who had takeu a degree in the Faculty of Arts in any of the Universities or Colleges with University powers situate in the Province, provided such degree had been taken with honours of the First or Second Class in any recognized Department for such degree, and also subject to the further con- dition that they had successfully taught in a Public or High School in this Province for the period of five years at least. On the 20th of March, 1880, this privilege was also extended to the University of McGill College, at Montreal.
Considering how much the actual results of educational effort depend upon the Inspector, it is important that the highest qualifications should be secured for this office, and that Inspectors in the future should be furnished with opportunities which have not hitherto existed of obtaining a full kuowledge of the scientific principles of educa- tion, and in such higher fields of intellectual labour becoming better informed of the true aims of education and the best methods for obtaining them, and how to give the greater practical aid to Teachers under their jurisdiction.
S. Teachers' Associatioiis.
County Teachers' Associations were first established under the Legislation of 1877, and becoming entitled to the yearly sum of $100 — one-half from the Provincial Revenue and one-half from the County — they soon became valuable auxiliaries of this Department, in assisting its efforts for improved efficiency in the whole body of Teachers, and encouraging each other in their important work, besides forming local centres of educa- tional action, thought and opinion. Regularly organized, and meeting twice in each year for discussion on matters of common interest, with Libraries supplied with the best works on instruction, these Associations can be relied upon as a permanent part of our educa- tional machinery, supplementing as they do, and continuing the beneficial effects of the training in the County Model Schools. The suggestions emanating from these County Associations, and from their representatives in the Provincial body, have proved most useful and serviceable in considering the wants of our system, and the best available modes of supplying them.
The following shows their progress since 1877 : —
In 1877 there were 42 Teachers' Associations, now 59 — increase 17. Members in 1877, 1,881, now 1,214 — increase 2,333; of members who had paid fees 701, against 1,586. Total amount of Receipts in 1877, $2,769 ; in 1880, $8,028. The total amount of Government grant was during 1880, as compared with 1877, increased by $1,863; the Municipal grant by $125 ; from Fees by $491 ; and other sources $2780 — increase of total receipts from all sources $5,259. Expenditure $1,127, against $4,965 — increase $3,838.
V. The Depository.
This branch was established in 1850, and its operations ceased on the 1st of Janu- ary, 1881. Under the head of " Educational Depository," at page 150 of this Report, its condition on the 1st of January, 1880 and 1881, respectively, is shown, and also the distribution of the residue of its stock amongst the different Provincial Institutions during the year 1881. The circumstances which justified this policy were stated in my Educational Statement in the Session of 1 880, and this question will be better understood by the public, if I should here repeat them : —
" I now desire to bring the subject of the Educational Depository to your notice. Referring to the estimates of the year, and to those of 1879, it will be seen that the amount which I am recommending for the supply of stock is much smaller. I have
226
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
always intimated my intention of finally dealing with this question ; but in this, as in all other matters, I have been pursuing a conservative course. Having made an inde- pendent examination in 1876 into the financial operations of the Depository, in 1877 I obtained by confidential inquiries further information as to the alleged educational advan- tages of the system, and the utility of the Depository in the public interest. I was pre- pared to accept that in the earlier stages of our school experience, and of the condition of the Province, such a branch might be both necessary and useful. My investigation in 1877 justified the following conclusions : —
" 1. That the library system has been practically abandoned.
" 2. That the prize system is only partially adopted or approved of, and there is no special educational necessity therefor.
" 3. That the text books supplied are chiefly for Normal and Model Schools, which can be procured without the necessity of a Depository.
" 4. That the supply of maps and apparatus should be encouraged, but that the stock should be obtained under different and better arrangements ; that the stock-in- trade is quite too large for the business transactions, and, therefore, unnecessarily depre- ciated ; that the maximum stock should not exceed at any one time more than $20,000, which, if the business of the Depository was at all active, should result in transactions of at least $100,000.
" I have since been obliged to come to the further conclusion that maps, apparatus, and other school appliances can be better supplied by the general trade with more satis- faction, and as cheaply to the schools, and certainly with a great saving of Provincial funds.
"The financial report in 1876 of Mr. James Brown showed that the stock then on hand amounted to $79,000. But in order to bring the question before the House at this Session, I undertook further investigations, which showed me that not only were the transactions very small in proportion to the capital used, but that there was a great depreciation in the value of the stock. I also find that the existence of the Depository entailed a large expenditure of public money without corresponding benefit, and that the results which it was intended to accomplish, could now be much better secured through the ordinary channels of trade. I feel it is therefore time for me to adopt the policy of closing up this branch of the Education Department at the earliest period in which the stock can be disposed of without unreasonable loss.
" A portion of the stock could not be sold at all, and a portion belongs to the edu- cational library. It is important to maintain a good educational library, and the oppor- tunity for establishing a very complete one is now presented from the valup.ble material which has been accumulated, not in educational works only, but in those also which possess historic interest to Canadians. I propose also to devote the Museum to its pro- per function, of being educational, and to relieve it of many articles, some of which will find their appropriate place in the College of Agriculture. The operations of the Deposi- tory have become smaller since I asked last year for less public money for stock. The amount spent in 1879 for stock was $22,535, and sales $38,535, thus reducing it by $16,771. It is unnecessary to re-stock the Depository, for the schools in general under- stand that they can be well supplied through the ordinary trade, and any reason for its existence in the former infancy of our schools, cannot now be successfully urged."

Division 5.
Comparisons with Other Educational Systems.
The records of other systems which show their actual results in the work of national education are of great value as comparisons with our Provincial system, in enabling us to better ascertain our relative position in discharging this important duty, how far we have succeeded, and in what lines further progress may require to be directed.
The end to be reached being the preparation of every child for actual life by such processes as will satisfactorily develop his whole nature, the circumstances and con- ditions of each country must be weighed and taken into account before useful deductions can be drawn from such comparisons.
The material to be worked upon necessarily also varies in different nationalities, according to their special characteristics ; and the school population may be more or less favourable.
There are probably no more favourable conditions, in every respect, to be found anywhere, than those which surround the youth of this Province.
In the preceding parts of this Report are shown such practical results as have already been accomplished in essential particulars of elementary and secondary education.
An examination of the educational results or standards reached by other systems will be deferred for the present, considering that this can better be done after our own has had that thorough review of its tendencies and practical results for which the time is now opportune, and for which much information for consideration is furnished by this Report. In the meantime I give the following comparisons on some material points — of expenditure, and the relative equivalents in attendance, or actual results, and as to the training of teachers : —
(1) With such States of the Union as may be taken to be similar to our Province, as compiled from the Report of the United States Commissioner for Education for the year 1879 ; and
(2) With elementary education in England, from the Report of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education for the year 1880-1.

These tables, however, require to be read with the following explanations, in order to properly serve as comparisons : —
(1.) The Normal School of the State of Michigan is similar to those of Ontario in being confined to students intending to be teachers ; but the Normal Schools of Massa- chusetts, New York and Pennsylvania receive pupils other than those intended for a Normal School course. Many of them are, in fact, ordinary academies with a Normal School class attached. The cost per certificate (in the latter instances) appears, therefore, much greater than in this Province, as the teachers in training are not distinguished from the ordinary students in the reports, and the reported cost covers the expense incurred on account of all pupils.
(2.) The average attendance in English schools for any period is found by adding together the attendances of all the scholars for that period, and dividing the sum by the number of times the school has met within the same period. The quotient is the average attendance. The average attendance in Ontario schools is computed thus : — The aggregate attendance for each half year is divided by the number of teaching days in each half year, whether the school was open the full time or not. The average for the first and second half years are then added together, and the result is divided by 2, which gives the average for the year. The average attendance appears, therefore, much smaller than if calculated on the English system.
Training Colleges in England and Ontario.
England, 1880-1881—
Number of Training Colleges 41
Number of Students 3,096
Total Expenditure $761,716
Cost per capita $211
Ontario, 1881 —
Number of Normal Schools 2
Number of passed students 280
Total Expenditure $30,327
Cost per capita $109
The English students reside in the College, their board and other expenses of keep being paid for them, and, as the course of instruction requires two years, the average cost of each Certificated Teacher would be twice the annual cost, or $422. They contri- bute about $35 per annum each in the shape of fees and for books. 1,500 teachers of two years' training are, therefore, annually supplied to the English public schools from these colleges. Pupil Teachers cost the Government nothing, as they are paid by the managers of the Elementary Schools.
Of the 3,096 students attending the English Training Colleges, none is reported as having failed at the examination.
The total number in attendance at the Ontario Normal Schools was 418, and if the failures are included the cost per capita would be reduced to $72.
The foregoing comparisons in the average cost of educating children in the elementary schools and of training qualified teachers, show that this Province, upon the whole, occupies, relatively to the specified States of the Union and England, a favourable position ; while Normal Schools in different States of the Union supply excellent facilities for professional training, yoo the time and money required to complete the prescribed course present obstacles to the professional training of the whole body of teachers required for the rural schools, besides those in cities and towns, and must continue to prove so ; for it is altogether impracticable that any public treasury should venture to undertake such large expenditures as the number of Normal Schools requisite for such object would entail, when the usual course of instruction is found to be from two to three years at least. The short terms and low salaries in the
237
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
rural schools of these States also contribute to the inferiority, as a class, of the teachers in the rural schools, while in this Province such teachers, owing to the general requirements during the last few years, possess teaching qualities and experience nearly equal to those in the urban schools. The pupil-teacher system of setting children to teach children is almost peculiar to England, except in Victoria and some of its other colonies : it does not prevail in the German or other Continental systems. It has had no place or advocate in the States of the Union, and, except in a very modified form in the case of Monitors, in this Province. Under the former conditions (before 1877) for third-class certificates, the great majority of our teachers besides being entirely inexperienced were too young for their work ; but the principle is now fully understood that the most matured and experienced instructors are required for the primary classes, so that the pupils may escape the permanent injury caused by being experimented upon by the young and enexperienced.
While it is important that proper educational standards should prevail — and such are generally attainable under our system of supervision and administration by the Education Department — there is an inherent weakness in the States system of administration which fails to satisfactorily accomplish this. In England, where so much depends upon the results of the examinations in the several standards, the payments from the Imperial grant being determined thereby, it is difficult to determine by such tests the proper educational effect.
With the view of obtaining full and accurate information on subjects in which we are interested in common, and in which much of value could be gained from their experience, your Government, upon my recommendation, in November last authorized Inspector McLellan to visit the Elementary, High, and Normal Schools in the States of Massachusetts and New York, in order to obtain specific information on the several points following : —
/. — As to Training of Teachers.
1. The extent and modes for the separation of the professional from the general educational training.
2. What are the means for inculcating a knowledge of the principles of education as a science.
3. Also as to the practical application of such principles in the pursuit of education as an art.
4. The details of the Courses in use for the professional training of teachers, and especially through schools for actual practice.
5. Information on every point which would tend to make our Provincial Normal Schools more effective.
2. — Secondary Education.
1. The Course of Study in some of the best High Schools, and the modes for instruction in the various subjects.
2. Staff of teachers and appliances.
3. — Intermediate and Elementary Sclmols.
1. The subjects, standards, and modes of instruction, and the teaching staff employed in such schools, both in urban and rural districts.
2. Also as to the discipline and means employed for maintaining it.
3. Also, as to the attendances, and means for securing it.
I. As to the practical beneficial results produced by the teaching and methods employed.
The Inspector has been afforded the opportunity in such personal visit of obtaining much information, and has just submitted his Report to this Department, which can be considered with advantage ; and in the meantime the following summary of his conclusions will be found of much practical value :
238

4- — Summary of Conclusions in Inspector McLellan's Report on the Elementary, Hiyh and Normal Schools in the States of Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut.
1. — General.
From what I have been able to gather by personal observation on my recent visit, and from books, reports and documents, the Ontario system of education, as a system, is superior to that of any State in the Union, for the following among other reasons : —
(1) Oar system is distinguished by a unity of aim and method, and a consequent unification of educational interests, which has, I believe, no parallel in American systems.
(2) It has determined the necessary qualifications for important educational positions, and made the appointment to such positions independent of party influences.
(3) It has instituted an effective plan of examination to test the literary and scien- tific attainments of all candidates for the teachers' profession.
(4) It has established a thorough system of school supervision (inspection), and provided means to secure qtialified inspectors.
(5) It has provided a simple and economical plan for the professional training of teachers, which secures, or will secure, the children of the humblest school section in the laud from becoming the victims of incompetency.
This last element of excellence is the most important of all. Ours is the only system on this Continent, so far as I know, that demands some degree of professional training as a necessary qualification for the teacher. I have said that the system of professional training is economical ; is it also effective ? The question of economy can have no weight as against the question of efficiency. That only is true economy which secures the best results in the best way. The system can be made, I believe, thoroughly efficient. But to this end the Normal school, the County Model Schools, the High Schools and even the Public Schools must each in their proper sphere co-operate.
S. — As to the Normal Schools,
now confined to purely professional work, I remark :
(") The Normal School Masters must have good material to work upon. Good professional training cannot be grounded on illiteracy. This means that those who enter these institutions should possess a good degree of general education and culture, and some aptitude for teaching, as shewn by their previous work under a County Inspector.
(b) Not only must the Normal School Masters have good material to work upon, they must also have a reasonable amount of time in which to do the work.
At present, therefore, the sessiou for traiuiug is too short. It must be extended if the schools are to accomplish what they are designed to do. For in these schools,
(1 ) There must be a methodizing of the student's knowledge; a review of important branches, with a view to giving scientific unity.
(2) There must be effected, in general, some improvement in the student's knowledge of irnportaut branches — Music, Drawing, Experimental Science.
(3) There ought to be sound instruction in Ethics and Mental Science in their application to the work of education.
(4) There must be intelligent observation and practice, under criticism in the Model and Normal School.
(5) There must be — at least in many cases — an eradication of vicious habits of study, methods of teaching, etc., and the substitution of a more excellent way.
(6) There must be, as far as possible, secured that higher culture which comes from daily intercourse with strong and cultured men.
To this desirable end " Boarding Halls," such as have been established in connec- tion with some of the American Normal Schools, would greatly contribute.
(e) The Normal School Masters, in connection with the professional Examiners, ought to have power to reject for illiteracy as well as for professional incompetency or inaptitude. For it sometimes happens that illiterates manage to score marks enough
16 239
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
to pass, notwithstanding all the precautions of a stringent academic examination. And, on the other hand, good scholarship will do little or nothing for one who has no natural aptitude for teaching.
S. — As to Count;/ Model Schools.
(1) These schools are designed to do a very important work. Here the 'student teacher gets his first ideas of educatioual principles and methods — ideas which will influence for good or evil all his subsequent course of professional training. The County Model Schools are really unpretentious Normal Schools, and they must lay a good foun- dation for the latter schools to build upon.
(2) It follows then that the principals and teachers of Model Schools ought to be strong in their profession — men of good scholarship, culture, earnestness and pro- fessional skill.
(3) During the training term in these schools, the entire time of the principals— except for general supervision — ought to be devoted to the training of the student- teachers. This is essential in view ot the vast importance of making a [iood beginning in the professional training of our teachers.
(4) For reasons similar to those given above (Normal Schools, h), the term for Model School training ought to be as extended as it is practicable to make it.
(5) If Model School trustees are not disposed to follow this course (3 and 4), because they are not sufficiently encouraged by the Government and County grauts, let them have a more liberal allowance. At present they receive $150 from the Govern- ment aud $150 from the County — i.e. $300 in all. This does not appear to be sufficient for all that they are required to do. V. ould the cost to the country exceed the value of their work, if the Government were to contribute say $250 and the County $250 ; i.e. if $500 were given to each school ? Fifty Model Schools receiving $500 each would cost the country §25,000 a year. Is this too much for the work of giving a fair professional traiuing to the i/i-eat majority of our teachers '? If any one thinks so, let him note the fact that New York State paid in 1880, for the current expenses alone of eight Normal Schools, $1?5,000 and received in return 271 trained teachers. Than this $25,000, no public money ever has been, or ever will be, expended to greater advantage to the State, or on principles more capable of thorough vindication.
(6) Public School Inspectors, since to them are entrusted the inspection and control of these schools, ought themselves to be trained teachers, and therefore no man ought to be licensed as an inspector on account, of scholarship and some experience gained in High School or Collegiate work ; for such experience does not necessarily secure a knowledge of the principles of primary education, nor professional skill in their application.
J/.. — As to High Schools.
(1) It is plain that the successful working of our present plan of confining the Normal Schools to professional work, depends on the power of the High Schools to give a good academic training — to impart sound knowledge by the best methods.
(2) An essential condition is, therefore, that all High School Masters and Teachers should receive professional training. They must, of course, be good scholars ; but they mast know that it is not the sole, or even chief function of the teacher to communicate knowledge, but rather to develop self-activity and power of acquisition.
(3) Since the royal road to learning is yet undiscovered, and time is still a neces- sary condition in producing education and culture, the " non-professional" (academic) examinations must be of such a character as to secure the fulfilment of this condition. The standard maintained ought to be higher than it is — high enough to defeat the schemes of the inexperienced, or the unfaithful teacher who may attempt to palm upon the Department and the public the spurious product of the crammer for the genuine handiwork of the educator.
(4) Greater attention must be given to Keading and Elocution, Drawing and Ele- mentary Science — especially Botany, Physics, Chemistry. And the teaching in science
240
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
should be experimental and inductive. If but one inspection a year be required of the High School Inspectors, they will have somewhat more time to devote to the subjects here referred to.
(5.) The High School Entrance Examination might fairly be modified so as to in- clude drawing. Also better reading and writing should be insisted upon, and a some- what wider course in arithmetic, so as to include easy cases of interest and percentage. This does not mean that the examination questions should be more difficult, or that new principles would need to be learned ; it simply means the learning of a few new terms, and a slightly more varied application of familiar principles.
(6) If the proposed work for the High Schools be thoroughly well done, they will have enough to do without attempting to educate candidates for First " A" and " B " certificates. This could be done in the Universities with better results in every par- ticular.
(7) The Intermediate Examination, established as a school examination, on the results of which certain public funds were to be distributed, ought to be distinct from the examination of teachers : I think —
(a) That the present standard of the Intermediate ought to be retained, with some options in favour of science and literature instead of mathematics.
(i) That some " value " may be given to this examination by making the possession of the Intermediate Certificate a necessary condition to entering the teaching profession.
(c) Besides passing the Intermediate Examination, candidates for the lowest grade of certificate (3rd class) should be examined on additional and more difficult papers in the same "groups."
(d) The examination for second-class (permanent and provincial) certificates ought to be entirely distinct from the others — a test of better scholarship and greater maturity of mind ; and no one should be permitted to stand for the second-class examination who has not obtained a third-class certificate at least one year previously. All these exami- nations could be held in the same week, and conducted by the same presiding Examiners.
5. — As to the Public Schools.
(1) Greater attention should be paid to writing and reading.
(2) Drawing — which is named in the programme of studies — ought to be taught. The course for each of the classes might be given more in detail.
(3) The meaning of some additional terms in arithmetic (interest, percentage, etc.) should be taught in the Fourth class, and a somewhat greater variety of questions given, so as to include easy problems in interest and percentage.
(4) The elements of science should be taught in oral lessons by the teacher. With proper methods of teaching there can be found time for this, as well as for industrial drawing; these will render other studies easier, and actually brighten the school life of the child.
(5) Since the great work of the Inspector is to see that the best methods of teaching prevails in the schools, one thorough inspection a year whould be better than two hurried ones. This would enable the Inspector to observe more accurately the teacher at work, and to exert a more powerful influence on both the teacher and the scholar. If one inspection each year be deemed insufficient, it might be supplemented by a judicious, uniform examination for promotion.
I give with my Keport some specimens of Examination Papers used at the Entrance Examination in some of the American schools.
For promotion to the Worcester (Mass.) High School, pupils are examined in Music, History, Spelling, Arithmetic, Grammar, and Geography.

Suggestions and Recommendations.
While the foregoing will serve to give much information to the Legislative Assembly and the people of Ontario on the present condition of this important branch of the public business, the report is also of special value in enabling inferences to be drawn from the facts appearing therein, which may properly influence the course of further progress, with the end in view of every child being equipped with thorough and efficient elementary educa- tion for any career in life, as well as securing a complete educational system adapted to all classes of our people. In considering this, the conditions of our elementary schools, as shown in the Report, are material, when it is seen, in Table E, that of the total number of children on the registers more than two-thirds are in the Rural Schools, and 81 per cent, are found in the first, second and third classes. The respective numbers are, in rural schools, 333,752 ; in urban schools, 149,293 ; and in the several classes :

It may therefore be properly inferred that instruction in the first, second and third classes of the Public Schools should be of such quality and extent, as would furnish some fitting preparation for life, of so large a portion of our rising population. Moreover, the large number of children in the rural schools belonging to the producing class of agriculturists (which is rapidly becoming the most prosperous, as well as the mist independent and self-reliant in our community), plainly shows that elementary teaching should be so directed as to prove of practical value as a basis for such pursuits. If all elementary studies were taught by " reason " and not by " rote " (as under the old mode, now gradually disappear- ing), by competent teachers of trained experience, their practical value would, in a large measure. 1><- secured, and at the same time the whole character of the children much improved under the influence of such teachers ; for a truly national system is as much con- cerned in rearing up a moral as well as an intelligent population, and securing honesty and fair dealing as essential qualities of every citizen, as well as mental culture.
The children in our elementary schools are capable of acquiring elementary teaching, without any fear that either their physical or mental energies will be overtasked to an extent which, under the favourable conditions in which our community is happily placed, we can safely venture upon, in comparison with any other community, provided modes of teaching in harmony with nature's laws are required to prevail, and thus aiding and strengthening the child's mental and physical development. The studies in the First, Second and Third Classes would then become the child's own in the school room, and enable him to enter upon those of the Fourth Class fitly prepared, mentally anil physically, for its higher work. The successful results of such modes of elementary teaching can be seen in daily operation in the Provincial Model Schools at Toronto and Ottawa, and in several of the Public Schools in Toronto and elsewhere. The methods of teaching in these two Model Schools are set out at pages 77 to 82, and from 85 to 87, of this Report. For the three lower classes we find here no lessons at home, and a satisfactory condition of each school, with- out any corporal punishment whatever. It is my intention to publish full details of
242
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
their work in each class and subject, for general information, and as a pattern and guide for other schools.
While larger educational benefits can thus be obtained through improved methods of teaching and discipline, yet success here, and in useful results from special studies, depend altogether upon the capacity and knowledge of the teacher in the several subjects. With this view I submitted during last year to the Central Committee and High School Inspectors, certain questions which appear to have a direct bearing upon this sub- ject. These comprised suggestions as to the separation of the teachers' non-professional examination from the High School Intermediate, and distinct examination papers for their non-professional examination, as well as an interval of at least one year after the passing of the third class non-professional examination before going up for the second class; also the introduction of elementary science in the public schools in familiar instruction by teachers upon Chemistry and hygiene, including health and temperance ; also as to reducing the number of sessions in each calendar year, for the training of second class teachers in the Normal Schools, from three to two sessions, so as to afford oppor- tunity for more thorough professional training of such class; also to overcome the imma- turity of teachers in general education.
The Committee and High School Inspectors in their respective reports discuss these several questions very fully, as well as others incidental thereto, and their practical educational bearing. Tliey arc agreed upon the desirableness of separatingthe High School intermediate examination from the non-professional examinations for third and second class teachers, and also as to the times of these examinations being concurrent in the same week and so avoiding any additional expense. The Committee also advise the payment of a fee by every candidate for a teacher's certificate, to be applied in diminishing the local expense in holding these examinations. The Committee are of opinion that the papers for the Intermediate should be different from those for the teachers' examination, and so to preserve to the former its true object, of being a test for such moderate proficiency as pupils generally after the course of two years in the High School might reasonably be expected to attain, in order to pass from the lower to the upper school, and the inter- mediate to cease to be a barrier between the lower and upper school. In Inspector Mc- Lellan's view the present standard should not be lowered, except slightly in Mathematics. He would also make the passing of the subjects of the Intermediate a necessary condition to entering the teaching profession, but would utilize the Intermediate papers as part of those required for third-class candidates, but that the second and third-class papers should be distinct.
To protect teachers' examinations from candidates too rapidly prepared, the suggestions of the Committee are that the candidate should be required to furnish certificates from the Head Master of the High School, or the Head Master of the Public School and the Public School Inspector, that he had attended such High School for two years, or such Public School for the like period after having passed through the fourth-class, but in special cases such attendance might be dispensed with on the recommendation of the High School Master or Public School Inspector. The opinions concur in the necessity of a longer Normal School session for the professional instruction of second-class teachers. The Committee were not on this occasion asked to consider further whether the time had come for discontinuing the Intermediate as one of the departmental examinations with the view of leaving the High Schools to conduct their own promotion examinations, now that the educational position of the High Schools had been so much raised from the inferior conditions in which they were, at the time the late Council of Public Instruction established these examinations.
While it is important that satisfactory standards should prevail in secondary edu- cation as well as in elementary, a thorough investigation of the actual results appearing in the statistical tables to this report lead to conclusions favourable to greater flexi- bility in reference to the programmes and subjects of study in the High Schools as well as in the Public Schools.
In view of the improved efficiency in elementary teaching in the Public Schools and the increased facilities for instruction in secondary subjects in the High Schools since 1877, it became desirable during last year to review the conditions of the High Schools by the
243
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882'
light of the experience gained, in order to secure their greater usefulness and permanency. The High School Inspectors and the committee representing the High School section of the Ontario Teachers' Association were therefore invited to consider and discuss oertain questions, which seemed material, the first being the importance of the English branches of secondary education, and of ample time being given to such subjects in preference to all others, inasmuch as progress and improvement were much needed in dictation and composition, reading and elocution, writing, drawing and book-keeping, English and Canadian history and geography, and English literature. While equal facilities should be afforded in the other subjects of Latin, Greek, mathematics, modern languages and physical science, these should all be subordinate to the paramount importance of the English branches. Another question was whether the statutory conditions under which Collegiate Institutes could be established should not be changed, so as to remove the undue and artificial stimulus given to the subject of Latin to the prejudice of secondary English subjects. Also whether reasonable tuition fees in relief of local municipal taxes should not be paid by those who were directly deriving High School benefits.
The report of the High School Inspectors on these questions will be found at pages 91 to 101 of this Report, and the views of the High School section at page 127. In the Reports of the High School Inspectors will be found criticisms upon the resolutions of the High School section ; both however agree that a minimum tuition fee should be estab- lished ; while the High School section is of opinion that Collegiate Institutes should con- tinue to exist, but the basis of establishment and continuance should be broadened by including girls as well as boys, and by recognizing other studies besides Latin and Greek. High School Inspector McLellan considers that this proposal does not contribute any definite or practical suggestions towards the solution of this somewhat difficult problem, but that it is clear that Latin must no longer be kept in its supreme position. He sub- mits the following conditions as indispensable : —
(1) Suitable buildings, grounds and all other appliances for physical training.
(2) Chemical laboratory and all necessary chemicals and apparatus for teaching the subject properly.
(3) At least four masters, specialists in the four departments of classics, mathe- matics, science and modern languages.
(4) A necessary condition that chemistry, botany and physics should be taught experimentally.
(5) An average of 60 boys in Latin, or an average of 60 boys in the Science Group, or in the Latin and Science Groups combined.
Inspector Marling considers that Collegiate Institutes are sufficiently fostered, and that the time has come for considering those High Schools which are doing as good work and are as well equipped as some of the Collegiate Institutes, and in some cases doing better work, and sets forth in a table the details for such comparisons. He considers that the basis of the Collegiate Institutes should show similar requirements to those proposed by Inspector McLellan, with French and German, or Chemistry, Botany and Physiology together as on a par with Latin, and if such conditions were rigorously exacted there would be no danger of unduly multiplying the number of Collegiate Institutes. In Table H of the Statistical Report will be found a statement showing the progress or decline of each High School in the years 1879 and 1880, and in Table I will be found the actual cost of each High School pupil and the proportions derived from the Legislative and Municipal Grants, tuition fees, and other sources, as well as information on the points involved in my inquiries upon this subject. Of the 10-4 High Schools in 18S0, 72 were free, and only 88 cents of the total cost per pupil of $31.94 was derived from tuition fees, while $6.67 came from the Legislative Grant, and $18.14 from the Municipal Grant.
In addition to the questions already referred to, a reference to the proceedings of the Ontario Teachers' Association, held in August last, and appearing on page 12.3 of this Report, presents for consideration several further important matters, amongst which is the importance of teachers in-training in the Normal School being thoroughly taught in the principles and practice of Kindergarten work, so as to be applicable to younger children in the Public Schools ; that the obligation of School Boards to provide additional school accommodation, where required by the number of children entitled to attend,
244
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. h). A. 1882
should be free from legal doubt ; particulars should be supplied by the Department of the importance aud best means of properly ventilating, lighting and heating school- houses ; that there should be a Committee for considering improvements in methods of teaching and school management, in order that they may be properly tested by actual experiment through the Education Department ; also certain proposals for the Teachers' Provident Fund. The Association also recommended the period of Model School training to be materially lengthened, and that all students-in-training should be required to pay a fee as well as all going up to teachers' examinations, while all candidates for Second Class Certificates should be required to pass in the Science Group. The Public School Inspectors' Section was also of opinion that " the professional training of First and Second Class Teachers is quite defective."
The Principals of the County Model Schools have also submitted suggestions for consideration upon permanent regulations for governing these schools in the future. The Regulations approved on the 23rd September, 1881, having been taken as the basis, it is proposed that they should be modified in the following particulars : (1) That no Head Master who has hitherto discharged his duties efficiently should be affected by the conditions as to the qualifications of futuro Principals ; (2) That there should only be one session of the Model School in each year, but for a longer period, and thus remove the expense to the Public School Boards of keeping open an extra room during one-half of the year. This would be quite sufficient, except when there was an overplus of students in any county, the right should be granted of attending any other County Model School, where there were vacancies. (3) The subjects of in- struction to teachers-in-training should be confined strictly to such as are professional, other subjects being presumed to have been taught in the High School; and because the best results are secured when the Normal and Model Schools confine themselves to professional work. (4) With respect to assistant teachers, this should be left to the Boards of each school to arrange, who should also secure the Head Master a room in which to deliver his lectures and be free to give at least one hour in each day to the personal supervision of the students while engaged in actual teaching. They also recommended that an Inspector should be appointed by the Education Department to inspect the several Model Schools, as more likely to secure uniform standards and methods of teaching of a higher character than at present prevails in some of the Model Schools. Also that a fee of five dollars should be paid by each student for instruction, and that the Legislative Grant be paid directly to the Head Master as remuneration for this special professional work in addition to his regular salary from the Public School Board ; while the fees and County Grant would be payable to the Public School Board, to reimburse their expenses for Model School purposes.
Excepting the two subjects of school accommodation and the Teachers' Provident Fund, recommended for legislation, the other important questions can be dealt with by Regulations of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, or of the Education Department, after full opportunity has been given for eliciting the views of all who take an intelligent interest in educational matters.
With respect to the provisions of the 29th section of the Act of 1879, some such checks as have been thereby interposed upon the power of School Boards — High and Public — were absolutely necessary in the interest of the ratepayers, to protect them from demands of an arbitrary and unreasonable nature which were in many instances made upon the Municipal Councils, and illustrated by several High School Boards in litigation which ensued. In my circular of the 15th October, 1880, I pointed out that these pro- visions had not altered the duty incumbent upon Public School Boards and Rural School Trustees to furnish adequate accommodation in their schools, as required by subsection 18 of section 104 and subsection 8 of section 102 of the Public Schools Act — that is to say : in cities, towns and incorporated villages, " to provide adequate accommodation for all children of school age in the municipality ;" and in case of rural schools, "to provide adequate accommodation for all children of school age resident in their school section, so as to accommodate at least two-thirds of the children who have a right to attend the school of the section, according to the census of the preceding year." While, any default in these particulars could, in my opinion, be enforced by the Courts, it is desirable that
245

in a matter of such general public interest, involving not only the compulsory atten- dance of all children for elementary instruction, but adequate school room therefor, that the obligation of the Trustees of all Public Schools and of the Municipalities to supply any deficiency in this respect should be placed beyond legal question. The High Schools, however, occupy quite a different position in affording opportunities for secondary educa- tion for such only as may avail themselves of them, and the expenditures for which may well be left to the public opinion of each locality.
The principle of establishing the Teachers' Retiring Provident Fund, instead of the present partial "superannuation " one, with its exceptions and anomalous provisions, and undue burden on Provincial revenues, is worthy of the fullest consideration of the Legislature as well as of teachers, as tending to further secure at all times throughout the Province an efficient staff of teachers, and to lessen the outflow of the experienced, and the consequently large expense annually thrown upon Provincial and Municipal revenues for new teachers. The proposals of the " Ontario Teachers' Association " will be found at page 214 of this Eeport, and their proposed basis for this Provident Fund is the pay- ment by every teacher of an annual subscription of four dollars during the period of ten years at least, on the same principle as is found in similar "provident funds" for any class engaged in a common occupation or employment. While the Province should be relieved from so large an incidence of burden, as has arisen from the superannuation scheme of the past, it may be properly called upon, in the general interests of education, to con- tribute as much as would effectually guarantee to each teacher such retiring allowance as would result from the recognition of just principles. Legislation is also necessary to place Collegiate Institutes, in the future, under such conditions and terms as the Education De- partment may, by regulations in that behalf, from time to time determine.
The defective means complained of by the Public School Inspectors for supplying professional instruction to First and Second Class Teachers can be remedied ; as to the second class, by giving effect to the recommendation for prolonging the professional train- ing, both in the County Model Schools and the Normal Schools, and by higher tests at the non-professional examination, and especially due time in preparation. In my recom- mendations for extending the Provincial usefulness of Upper Canada College, in Part III. of this Report, it will be seen that opportunities for higher knowledge in methods of instruction, management and discipline could be provided in the College if made the Model High School for this purpose, as well as for High School teachers ; while at the School of Practical Science, theoretical and practical instruction in Chemistry, Botany, Biology with Physiology, Drawing and Mechanics, can be made readily accessible to both first class candidates and High School Masters. Lectures on School Law, and also on the scientific principles of education, could be given in this department. By these means the needed professional training could be supplied at moderate expense, without establishing a Professorship of Education in the Provincial University.
The discussions on the subject of " pressure " on the pupils in the Public and High Schools require serious attention from everyone upon whom any responsibility rests. I have carefully considered the different points discussed, and have also obtained from Public School Inspectors information as to examinations in Public Schools, and now present for consideration some information which may prove useful in either removing defects or point- ing to remedies for much that has been both properly and opportunely commented upon. So far as the programme of study is referred to as one of the causes of pressure, it will be seen that it was made more flexible in 1877 than previously, and that several compulsory subjects were made optional, and much discretion left to School Boards, Inspectors and Teachers, as well as the Time Table, the hours in which could be made as short as School Boards them- selves thought proper ; but it would seem that in its application School Boards and Inspectors failed to appreciate the spirit and extent of these changes, and continued on, much accord- ing to the former course; but in some instances Inspectors have caused much home work to cease, and required actual teaching in the school-room itself instead. The Trustees gen- erally have not used their power to shorten the school hours, and probably from the apprehension that examinations, either competitive or for promotion, practically prevented this. The extent and effect of all examinations require special investigation in order to determine the limits between their healthful operation and where injurious. I fully
246
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
agree with the importance attached to greater opportunity for the physical training of the pupils, improved ventilation, and a more healthful condition of all school-houses. It is also evident that in the higher classes of the Public Schools that such subjects as music, drawing and needlework should be available for girls, and that in the High' Schools they might be correspondingly relieved from studies of less value or application to the duties of their sex. Before arriving at definite conclusions upon such important questions, attention should be given to the proper functions of the school, which is only a partial means of educating each boy or girl. The school may be considered the fifth of the essen- tial institutions of civilized life, the other four being the family, civil society, the State, and the religious. The true place of the school is misapprehended if it is to be held res- ponsible for supplying what the family alone can adequately give, or influences which properly proceed from the State or civil and religious society, each of which possesses its peculiar educative functions. It is impossible, therefore, that the school can supply alone what should be drawn from these four other institutions. The school should, however, aid in their operation, and assist family culture by not retarding its development; and, by way of illustration as to its practical application, I may take the experience of the members of the Conference on Educational Code Reform in England as presented in their memorial to the Committee of the Privy Council in June last, in which they urged the acceptance of certain general principles as governing early training. The most important were, (1) that the course of studies should at each stage be in harmony with and adapted to the natural development of the child's mind and body ; and (2) that all teaching should proceed from the known to the unknown, from the particular and the concrete to the general and the abstract, and from the experimental and empirical to the rational and scientific ; and in connection with the adoption of such principles as the basis of elementary education, the Conference submitted standards which would better accord with such principles than the standards then in operation. These may be referred to with advantage in settling upon a new programme of study, as they present standards for infants, for children of seven and eight, and of eight and nine, and gradual increase in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and serenth standards. In also suggesting a scheme of- instruction in Science, they show that the obstacles in the way of teaching Elementary Science do not arise from any inherent difficulty in the subject so much as from" the want of familiarity, and that an effectual way of securing results of real value for the time and labour bestowed in elementary schools, would be through systematic object lessons leading up to more specific instruction in the higher classes ; and they consider that the starting point for scientific instruction is in making its language familiar to the pupils.
It is satisfactory to see that the general public is beginning to understand that the prevention of disease can be made more certain than the curing of the disease itself ; and while the State and society are both specially charged with discharging their full duty in this respect, inasmuch as it would preserve to the nation that large proportion of its population which is prematurely cut off, and induce a higher average term of life, there cannot be too much attention in the school itself, to giving familiar information to each child of rules of health, and in protecting him against bad ventilation, lighting and heating, and other defects of the school-house. I have previously mentioned that the conditions which surround every child in this Province enable it to gain adequate educational preparation for any career in life, and are so favourable as to compare with those of any other com- munity; and this is not confined to education alone, but exists in all the other institutions referred to — the State, in affording the fullest capacity for local self-government, and in administering justice and charity in its care of the general welfare ; the Family, in the plenty and abundance of its material resources; Civil Society, in the equality and intelligence generally prevalent ; and the freedom in Religion of the members of all denominations in profession and practice, and necessarily, therefore, penetrating and influencing all the other institutions of our community. It has been well said that the school on its part also affords moral instruction; and I cannot better close this part of my Report than by quoting what W. T. Harris, Superintendent of Public Schools of the City of St. Louis, has lately given of his experience: — "To the one who is familiar with the methods of schools, it is not surprising to find that the school has a favourable effect on the morals of the pupil. In the well-disciplined school, the pupil is first taught to be regular and punctual, to be
247
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
cleanly in person, polite to his fellows, obedient to his teachers ; he is taught to be silent and industrious, attentive and critical in his mental habits. To sum up all these in one word, he is taught to subordinate his capricious will and inclinations to the reasonable conditions under which he may combine with his fellow-men, and share in their labours and in the fruits of their labours. The great advantage of school instruction in morality, lies in the fact that the pupil is made to do and practise these fundamental moral acts of self-control, and is not merely made to hear lectures on the subject, and exhortations, without accompanying discipline in moral habits.
" In the school, moral habits must be practised or the instruction cannot go on. What wonder, then, that those who have attended school, even for the short period required to learn to read and write, are found to be seven times less likely to reach the gaol or prison than those who are entirely illiterate."
Note respecting Statement of Correspondence — page 216.
The number of letters received and sent out has been gradually decreasing with the disappearance of the Depository, which branch of the Department is now closed, and the services of six clerks dispensed with. The letters during 1881 were chiefly special, and consisted of such as relate to matters of administration involving the directions and decisions of the Minister in respect of Public, Separate and High Schools, the Normal and Model Schools, Mechanics' Institutes, Legislative apportionment, superannuation applications, confirmation of by-laws, and general business ; but the table does not include those which relate to the University and Colleges at Toronto (including the supervision by the Minister of the Bursars' Department), the School of Practical Science and the Schools of Art and Design.

PART II.
RESPECTING MECHANICS' INSTITUTES AND THE LIKE SOCIETIES AIDED FROM PROVINCIAL FUNDS.
By the Act of 1880 (43 Vic, Cap. 5.), the Association of Mechanics' Institutes of Ontario, Mechanics' Institutes, the Ontario Society of Artists and Schools of Art and Design were placed under the supervision of the Minister of Education, instead of the Commissioner of Agriculture as formerly, and they were required to report to such Minister in all matters in which, under the provisions of the Agriculture and Arts Act (Revised Statute, Chap. 35), they were respectively directed to report to such Commis- sioner, and the powers and duties of that Act conferred upon the Commissioner of Agri- culture in that behalf, were all transferred to and vested in the Minister of Education.
The Education Department was authorized to make rules and regulations, subject to the approval of your Honour in Council, for instruction in Physical and Practical Science to be given in evening classes in Mechanics' Institutes, and for the apportionment of sums of money out of any grants to be made by the Legislature for the purpose of such classes, and for sanctioning the purchase of books for the libraries of such Insti- tutes in other subjects than those expressly authorized by the Revised Statute. It was also made the duty of the Minister to see that every Mechanics' Institute at least once in each year was inspected, and the financial affairs thereof audited, and the standing of each Mechanics' Institute ascertained by the Public School Inspector, whose remu- neration was to be regulated by the Education Department.
Under the 77th Section of the Revised Statute, Chap. 35, any Mechanics' Institute incorporated under Revised Statute, Chap. 168, or the former Consolidated Statute, which had established a reading-room or evening classes organized for the imparting of practical instruction to its pupils, or had established a library of books in the subjects of Mechanics, Manufactures, Agriculture, Horticulture, Philosophy, Science, the Fine and Decorative Arts, History, Travels, Poetry and Biography, should be entitled to receive from the unappropriated moneys in the hands of the Treasurer of the Province, for the purpose of aiding in such reading-room, class instruction or library, a sum not to exceed $100 in any one year ; subject, however, to the condition that a sum equal to one-half the amount to be so paid out of the Provincial revenue is " locally contributed or appropriated, or has been expended by such Institute during the current year for such object or objects."
The amount to be expended for reading-room purposes was limited to one-fourth of the maximum grant and contribution from local sources.
It was also provided that the business year of each Institute should end on the first of May in each year, and that no Iustitute should share in the grant until the year fol- lowing its formation, and of which notice should be given before the first of December in the year preceding its first application. The time for applying for grants, is till the first of November in each year following, and thus affords the opportunity of a full current year for obtaining and appropriating the local equivalents for the amount of grant claimed. Moreover, it would otherwise be impossible to truthfully state what the affidavit called for, viz. : the fact that the local equivalent had been raised and appro- priated for the current year, when one-half of such year at least was yet to expire.
The practical solution has therefore been to construe the current year to be that ending on the first of May in each year preceding the first of November, and during this intervening period each Institute can readily prepare and submit its Report for the year ending the first of May previously, and thus show the amounts of local contributions actually raised and expended, as well as the proper application of the Legislative grant, and thus furnish the requisite basis for the annual audit by the Public School Inspector.

1. Association of Mechanics' Institutes.
The Association of Mechanics' Institutes is constituted a body corporate, the dif- ferent Institutes being Associates, and represented at its annual meetings by then- presi- dent and secretary or other two members.
The thirteenth annual meeting was held at the City of London on the 22nd day of September, 1881, 33 Institutes being represented, and a copy of the Raport presented thereat has, in pursuance of the Statute, been sent to this Department. It refers to the following subjects :
(1) As to presentation of books, that the Executive Committee distributed 50 copies of Keith Johnston's Handy Royal Atlas, and 22 copies of Belden's Dominion Atlas. It was proposed out of the surplus of the year to purchase and distribute Appleton's Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics, or such other work as could be obtained at a reason- able price.
(2) As to Associate Institutes, 67 of the 73 who received the Legislative grant paid to the Association their five per cent.
The number associated is stated as follows :
In 1879-80 74
Less in 1880-1 21
Remaining 53
New in 1880-1 10
Old renewed in 1880-1 10
Under fee of $1 3
Total 76
A statistical table is submitted of the Government grants for 1879-80 and 1880-1 ; of revenue ; number of members ; expenditure for books ; classes ; periodicals, and balance of assets over liabilities, compiled from the Schedules furnished by the Education Department to the different Institutes.
(3) As to evening classes, the Report shows that 12 Institutes conducted classes in the following subjects: — Li English Grammar and Composition, 5; Arithmetic and Geo- metry, 8 ; Penmanship and Book-keeping, 9 ; Practical Mechanics, 2 ; Chemistry, 1 ; Mineralogy, 2 ; Geometrical and Decorative Drawing, 3 ; Free-hand Drawing. 3 ; Pho- nography, 2 ; the average attendance being 281, and the total of teaching meetings 141. The Association paid $320 for prizes.
The Treasurer's statement shows a surplus from subscriptions of the Associate Institutes of §1,000 on deposit in the Bank of Toronto at interest, and a further amount of $535.97 at call, making a total of $1,535.67.
2. Mechanics' Institutes.
The regulations of the Education Department herewith submitted were finally settled by me on the 11th day of November last, after considering the different sugges- tions received from the Institutes and the information gained from their operations in previous years. These have not as yet been approved by your Honour in Council, and are still subject to such suggestions as may make them more beneficial. Their object is to secure substantial compliance with the provisions of the Provincial grant, and therefore to adjust the relative amounts applicable to each subject aided from the grant of $400, so that it may be fairly encouraged and not prejudiced by an undue amount appropriated for any one of such objects, and also to gradually develop evening classes in studies not within the Public School course, and especially in elemen- tary instruction for industrial purposes.
252
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A 1882
Having regard to the evening classes as proposed in the Regulations, it will be seen that their benefits may be taken advantage of by all young persons engaged during the day, and by those iutending to be mechanics or agriculturalists. The proposed Regu- lations are accompanied by the following Forms :
(a) Mechanics' Institute Report.
(/.■) Requisition for Legislative grant.
(c) Return of Inspection.
(d) Report of attendance at evening classes — Elementary instruction ; and
(e) Report of attendance at evening classes — Technical instruction.
1. Text of Proposed Regulations.
1. Any new Mechanics' Institute is not entitled under the Act to share in the Legislative grant until the year following the year of its formation, and then only if notice of such formation has been given to the Minister of Education prior to the first day of December in the year of its formation.
2. The business year of each Institute ends on the first day of May in each year, and thereupon, and by the first day of June then next, each Institute should prepare and forward to the Education Department its Report in duplicate, whicli should show receipts and donations during the year then ended, expenses, property and assets, liabilities, members and their subscriptions, Evening Classes and their different subjects, and otherwise be in accordance with Form A, and should set forth the several par- ticulars required in and by such Form A.
3. In ascertaining at the end of each year the amount expended by each Institute in such year, each Institute will be allowed for all sums actually paid for Reading Room, Library, or Eve.iing Classes, aud necessary apparatus therefor; but salaries of Librarian, or Caretaker, or other personal expenses of management are to be strictlv excluded. The expenses of rent, light and heating, in respect of Reading Room, Library, or Evening Classes, when respectively established, will also be allowed, but not to exceed twenty- five per cent, of the Legislative Grant for such objects respectively.
4. Such Report of each Mechanics' Institute, as and when received from it by the Education Department, will, without delay, be sent by the Department to the Public School Inspector for his inspection of the Institute aud audit of the accounts thereof, as hereinafter directed, and, if found correct, will be returned to the Department, and form the basis for the amount of grant to such Institute.
5. The provisions of the Statute require each Mechanics' Institute, before receiving its grant, to show that it has raised aud expended or appropriated, from local sources in respect of such year, a sum equal to one-half of the amount payable from the grant in respect of any of such objects, viz.: (1) Reading-room, (2) Library of Books, and (3) Evening Classes.
6. Each Mechanics' Institute should, before the first day of November in each year, in its application for a grant in aid, show the amount 60 locally raised aud expended or appropriated during the year expiring on the first of May preceding, according to the form of requisition in Form B, to be sent in duplicate to this Department. Such state- ment must be verified by the declaration of the Secretary or Treasurer, under the Dominion Act for the Suppression of Voluntary aud Extra-judicial Oaths, in the Form B (the affidavit in the Schedule to the Statute being dispensed with, as objectionable to such Act).
7. Each Institute applying for aid shall be entitled to receive from the grant — (1) a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars for Reading-room purposes, provided one-half of such sum has been locally raised and expended or appropriated for the same object ; (2) a sum not exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars for Library purposes, provided one- half of such sum has been locally raised and expended or appropriated for the same object ; (3) a sum not exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars for Evening Classes, pro- vided one-half of such sum has been raised and expended or appropriated from local sources and tuition fees for this object. In cases where any Institute has heretofore
253
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
received two hundred dollars or more for Library purposes, it may continue to receive the sum of two hundred dollars, but no more. In cases where the circumstances are shown to the Minister to be such that evening classes caunot be satisfactorily established in any year, he may recommend so much of the grant payable in respect of evening classes as he may think fit for Library purposes.
8. The Statute permits Institutes to conduct classes in the following elementary subjects, viz. : — Writing and Book-keepiug, English Grammar, Arithmetic, and Men- suration, including also Free-hand Architectural and Mechanical Drawing, which, being a technical subject, is included under the next following Regulation.
9. Each Institute is hereby also authorized to conduct Evening Classes for those persons only who, in good faith, require technical instruction in the subjects following :
(1) Drawing, Machines, Designs, Objects, Free-hand, Architectural and Geo- metrical.
(2) Natural Philosophy, Elements of, including Applied Mechanics, Pneumatics and Hydrostatics.
(3) Chemistry as applied to Manufactures, and also to Agriculture.
10. The Term for the instruction in the Elementary subjects, permitted by the Statute, and also in the Technical subjects, now authorized, shall be for at least nine continuous weeks, in classes held at least in three evenings of each week, and for an hour at least in each subject, and each such Term shall begin in the week following the first day of January in each year. A similar Term may be established by any Institute in the autumn, upon notice to this Department.
11. Each Institute may, out of moneys available for Evening Classes, pay such expenses, over and above the receipts, as may be incurred for lectures of a popular nature on scientific subjects.
12. The Fees payable by persons for instruction in such Evening Classes shall not exceed fifty cents per Term for each of the Elementary subjects, and one dollar per Term for each of the authorized Technical subjects. The following additional sums will be payable from the Legislative Grant to each Institute conducting classes in such Tech- nical subjects in accordance with the foregoing Regulations, viz. : — When in classes from 5 to 10, $i for each person ; for each additional from 10 to 20, §2 ; and for each addi- tional over 20, $1. No person shall be allowed for except in respect of one class only, .•ilt hough he may attend two or more. Before any payment can be made, the Public School Inspector is required to report that each such class has been satisfactorily con- ducted, and otherwise according to the particulars in Form D as to Elementary sub- jects, and in Form E as to Technical subjects.
13. The existing Regulations authorize a sum not exceeding twenty per cent, of the grant for Library purposes to be applied for the purchase of works of fiction, but such works are to be such as appear in the catalogue of the Education Department, or as may be approved by the Minister of Education from time to time, as submitted by any Institute for this purpose.
14. No Director or office-holder in any Institute is permitted to sell or traffic in any books for the supply of the Library, and, as far as possible, a separate room for the Library should exist, in order to afford regular access to members.
15. Duties of Public School Inspectors: —
(1) The Public School Inspector shall, after he has received from the Education Department copies of the reports furnished to it by the Mechanics' Institutes in his inspectoral division, as soon as possible, visit each of them, and shall, with all conve- nient speed thereafter, submit the return of his inspection to the Department, which return shall include the several particulars, and be according to Form C.
(2) He shall, at the same time, fully audit the financial affairs of each Institute, and in this sh;ill carefully examine all books, vouchers, and invoices relating thereto, and ascertain what, if any, trade discounts have been allowed, and also that the entries in the ledger or other bo'iks of account agree with the accounts and vouchers. If the vouchers and account books do not agree, or trade discounts have not been allowed, he should refuse to certify the accounts, and in all such cases call the attention of the Department to the same.
254
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
(3) He shall see that the invoices (if any) paid after the first of May are properly entered in the Treasurer's book, and charged to the year ending then.
(4) In order to secure a larger measure of success and benefit to the class of mechanics for whom the Legislative aid is mainly intended, it is the duty of the Public School Inspector to take a personal interest in the general working of the Institute, and especially in the encouragement of pupils in attendance at Evening Classes in the prescribed subjects. Evening instruction in Elementary subjects (other than the statutory mentioned above) should be provided for by the proper School Board in that behalf, and at their expense.
(5) The Public School Inspector will receive remuneration for services actually performed according to the following table : —
(1) For the aunual inspection and report of each Institute, as follows : — Institute wi'th Reading Room, Library, and Evening Glasses $10 00
" any two of above 8 00
" anyone of above 6 00
(2) In any case where the Inspector is able, in his inspection of the Public
School in the same locality, to visit Evening Glasses, and to examine the same during their session in any of the above subjects of instruction, an additional fee of one dollar will be allowed for each class in Elementary subjects, and of two dollars for any class in the Technical subjects.
(3) The Report of the Inspector of Evening Classes, as in Form D, is to
be sent to the Education Department as soon as possible after his inspec- tion.
16. It is intended that the above Regulations should be complied with by each Mechanics' Institute before becoming entitled to aid from the Legislative grant ; and unless the report of each Institute and the Inspector's Return show that the conditions thereof have been substantially complied with, such Institute cannot be recommended for any grant for the current year, but it shall be competent for the Minister of Educa- tion to recommend payment in auy case where the substance of the Statutes and Regu- lations have been fairly complied with.
3. Returns to this Department.

Average Attendance.
The fees paid by students were the same as those of former years, namely, $6 for the day classes (not including colour work), and $3.50 for the evening classes. Oil and Water Colour Painting $6 each, and Elementary Design $2.
The Report states that it was deemed advisable to continue to offer to the teachers the same remuneration as formerly, viz., $4 per lesson, but an understanding was entered into with the teachers of the oil and water colour classes that their salaries should only amount to the actual receipts from fees, so that these departments may be considered self- supporting. The Vice-President trusts that this arrangement will meet my views, as expressed to him at the opening of the term.
The amount due to teachers for the term was The amount received and due from students' fees

Four pupils attended the day classes from whom no fees were received. Two of these were in indifferent circumstances and unable to pay, and two were former pupils, who last year took part as pupil-teachers. Five students attended the evening classes by virtue of having obtained scholarships in the Public Schools of the city.
The division of the students, in regard to sex, was as follows : —

And further that it would be seen that out of the 164 students in attendance, 79 were engaged in various businesses and 85 were without occupation ; but, of the latter, 31 were under 16 years of age, and no doubt many of them, as well as those who are older, will turn the knowledge acquired at the School into professional or technical channels con- nected with Art.

4. The Western Ontario School of Art and Design, London,
Was inspected under my direction on the 16th December, 1881, and the report thereon by Dr. May is as follows : —
This school was established in 1878, and is situate in the Mechanics' Institute Building.
Board of Management.
Col. J. Walker, President ; Col. Lewis ; H. McMahon, Esq., Q.C.; Jas. Durand, Esq.; Jas. Griffiths, Esq., R.C.A.; John H. Griffiths, Esq.; W. R. Meredith, Esq., M.P.P.; W. Saunders, Esq.; B. Cronyn, Esq.; J. R. Peel, Esq.; Chas. Chapman, Esq. Chas. Chapman, Secretary and Treasurer.
Instructors. Messrs. J. F. Griffiths, Chas. Chapman, J. R. Peel, and S. K. Davidson.
The school now occupies two large and commodious rooms, at the rental of $250 per annum, fuel, light and attendance being also included.
The rooms are well fitted up and contain over 400 drawing models, including plaster casts and various sections of machinery. About one-half of the Government grant ($800) was expended in 1880 for drawing models and appliances. The total value
261
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
of models and plant is estimated at $1,300, which is nearly one-half of the Government grants received since its commencement.
The course of studies consists of three terms : 10 afternoon and 20 evening lessons. Fees, $2 each for afternoon and evening lessons.
First Term commenced 11th January and ended 17th March ; 10 afternoon lessons, 46 pupils ; 20 evening lessons, 66 pupils.
Second Term commenced 5th April and ended 14th June ; 10 afternoon lessons, 31 pupils ; 20 evening lessons, 52 pupils.
Third Term commenced 11th October and ended 16th December; 10 afternoon lessons, 42 pupils ; 20 evening lessons, 100 pupils.
There was also a separate class each session for teaching Painting on Porcelain. The average attendance was 18 pupils.
The afternoon classes were chiefly attended by ladies and young persons.
The evening classes were attended by mechanics and apprentices, and from the following trades and occupations : Architects, Bookbinders, Bricklayers, Carpenters, Cabinet-makers, Carriage-makers, Carriage-painters, Lithographers, Marble-cutters, Machinists, Pattern-makers, Printers, Photographers, Tinsmiths, and Wood-carvers.
In addition to the above, 15 Public School Teachers have been in regular attendance during the past year.
Total number of pupils in attendance during the whole year, 352. The average attendance was over 90 per cent.
Instruction.
The course of tuition begins with careful instruction in Free-hand or Mechanical Drawing, and as they advance they are instructed in Light and Shade, Drawing from Models, Perspective, Architecture, Ornamental Designs, Lettering (plain and ornamental), Moulding in Clay and Wax, Painting in Oil and Water Colours. A special class for Porcelain Painting was also conducted.
This school is made applicable to the several trades and occupations of the students. Although the teachers are only paid 82 per lesson, they are painstaking, and show much interest in their work and the progress of their pupils.
The expense of management is small, as there are no paid officers, and the Secretary and Treasurer (Mr. Chapman) has served from the beginning without salary.
The following is the financial statement for the year ending 31st December, 1881 : —
Receipts for the Year. Government grant S800 00
Expenditure for the Year. Rent, fuel, light, attendance, etc $230 00
Fees from pupils 496 00 Tuition, four teachers 750 00
Interest on deposits 13 00 Printing and advertising 85 00
Models and studies 270 00
Gas and water fittings . . 36 00
Furniture, easels, drawing-boards, fit- tings, etc 106 00
Books, stationery, postage, etc. ... 14 00
Audit 2 00
Repairs of models and sundries 18 00
Total expenditure $1,537 00
Total receipts $1,309 00
The Report of the Board, dated 20th January, 1882, also states that a public exhibi- tion of pupils' work was held, and prizes to the value of $200, contributed by citizens, distributed to those showing the greatest proficiency in the several classes. The Board also represents that the pupils are drawn from an area of sixty miles and more around London, and that its benefits are sensibly felt in the whole western portion of the Prov- ince, while the teaching is of that practical character which aids the pupils in becoming more fit for their several trades and occupations ; and in order that the Board may be able to keep the cost of such teaching within the reach of all such pupils who may apply, it asks that its grant for this year should be $1,000.

5. The Canadian Institute.
This Institute was established in 1849, and was at first intended to be strictly for professional men, including Provincial land surveyors, civil engineers and architects, with students under articles. The society struggled on in this form until 1851, when it was determined to establish it on a broader basis. It became incorporated on the 4th November, 1851, and Sir W. E. Logan was its first president. The Council then invited three classes of persons to join the Institute : (1) Those who by their attainments, researches or discoveries, could promote its objects ; (2) Those desirous of instruction from its publications and proceedings, and thus gaining information with improvement and progress in art and science everywhere ; (3) Those who felt an interest in and desired to assist this useful undertaking. In 1852 the first grant from the Provincial Legislature to the Institute, of £250, was made; and after much struggling it gradually gained the support of many distinguished in Arts and Science in Canada.
The Report of the Council for 1880-1 shows another year of satisfactory work, and expresses the advantages resulting from the admirable accommodation which their new building supplies, the debt on which is being gradually reduced. The ordinary meetings held during the session were 13, at which valuable and interesting papers were read. The number of members on 31st March, 1881, was 126, composed as follows : honorary members, 2; life members, 17; and ordinary members, 107. The annual Provincial grant is the sum of $750.
6. The Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society.
This Society receives a special grant of $300 per annum from the Government. President, Rev. A. F. Kemp ; Treasurer, J. R. Armstrong ; Secretary, F. K. Bennetts ; Custodian, Arthur Harmer.
Their Report for the past year shows an increase of 38 members. Total number of members, 202.
The Treasurer's statement shows that, after paying all accounts due up to 31st March, there is still a balance on hand of .$50.86 ; total receipts, $1,003.32.
Library. — The Library contains 1,425 volumes
Reading Room. — The Reading Room is well patronized, and is furnished with the leading newspapers and periodicals.
Museum. — The Museum contains a fine collection of specimens of Natural History, which are kept in glass cases surrounding the Library and Reading Room.
The Field Naturalist Club have recently made presentations of great value to this Society. Special mention is made in their report of a fine collection of minerals pre- sented to the Society through the Club by Lieut.-Colonel Wily.
The great difficulty this Society has to contend with is a want of funds to provide sufficient accommodation for its large and increasing Museum.
Lectures. — Nine instructive and interesting lectures were given during the season. In addition, two conversaziones were held.
Evening Glasses. — When this Society was visited by Dr. May in 1880, he urged upon the Directors the importance of establishing Evening Classes. As there is no Mechanics' Institute in Ottawa, the payment of an extra grant of $100 was made to this Society for this purpose. These Classes have become a great success. About 40 persons attended classes in the following subjects : — Botany, Entomology, Chemistry, Natural Philosophy and Elocution. The Classes were furnished with a set of Botanical Charts and a collec- tion of microscopical botanical objects, paid for out of the special grant of $100. The Council say : " We are assured that by these Classes not only has a fresh interest been excited in these departments of science, but by them new members have been added to the Society, and they feel confident, if continued next year, even greater results may be anticipated from their operation." The instructors were Rev. Dr. Kemp, Dr. Wickstead, Major Fletcher and Messrs. Harrington and J. H. Bell, who, in some instances at great personal inconvenience, have given their services to the advancement of these objects.

The President, in a letter dated 29th October, 1881, says : — "We commence on 23rd November a Class for Mechanical Drawing, under a competent teacher ; other Classes will be instituted at Christmas."
7. L'Institut Canadien-Fraktcais de la Cite d'Ottawa.
President, Alphonse Lusignan ; Treasurer, Augustus Laperrierre ; Secretary, F. H. Lambert; Librarian, O. MacDonell ; Curator, C. Christie ; Director of Fine Arts, G. Smith. This Institute receives a special grant of $300 from the Ontario Government. The Directors of this Institute own a very handsome and spacious building, erected specially to suit their requirements. When Dr. May met the Officers and Directors in 1880, he recommended that Evening Classes should be organized in connection with the Institute, and Drawing Classes were accordingly established last winter, and on his second visit he found the Class Eoom well supplied with drawing boards, easels, models, copies, etc. The following extracts from the President's Report, dated 6th October, 1881, is an evidence of the success of the Evening Classes : —
" A new Society, known as the Societe des Beaux-Arts de I'Institut Canadien-F rancais d'Ottawa, has been founded in connection with our Institution.
" This Society has opened classes of dessin d'apres modele, dessin d'apres nature, dessin d 'architecture, dessin de mecanique, et dessin de geometrie. The course lasted three months — March, April and May. The number of lessons given is 45 — that is, 15 lessons per month. The teachers were Mr. Albert Grignard, from the Ponts et Chaussees, Paris, and Mr. Le Chevalier G. Smith, from the Conservatoire of Paris.
"The Debiting Society have been pretty active last fall and winter. They held 28 meetings (seances). The subjects debated upon pertained mostly to H'story and to Politi- cal and Social Economy. These debates were confined to the members.
" We also gave a course of public seances, to which outsiders were admited. The seances consisted of lectures, discussions, experiments in physics, etc., and were 14 in number."
The following Evening Classes are now in operation in the subjects, for the time, and with the number of pupils following, that is to say : —

dred dollars, its annual grant in favour of our Institution, and that the Secretary be in- structed to transmit the same to the Honourable the Minister of Education."
8. Suggestions and Recommendations.
The Association of Mechanics' Institutes.
This Association was required by the Revised Statutes to hold its annual meeting at the place and during the same time as. the Exhibition of the Agricultural and Arts Association ; but as it is conceded that the objects of each can be made more useful and efficient by the separation which is proposed to be made during this current session of the Legislature, the Association of Mechanics' Institutes will be left at full liberty to conduct and manage its own affairs, and to make by-laws for any purposes connected with the objects of Mechanics' Institutes, including the time and mode of holding its annual and other general meetings. In the interim an Executive or Council would be useful in giving effect to any such purpose ; and if some equivalent for the Provincial grant in which this Association was a participator were provided by the Legislature, the Associa- tion could do much to encourage and advance the interests of Mechanics' Institutes, as well as relieve them from the five per centum of their Legislative grant now contributed to the support of the Association.
Ontario School of Art and Design.
In addition to ordinary art teaching to its regular pupils, this school was also in- tended as a training-school for art teachers for other schools throughout the Province, as well as for the benefit of young mechanics and artisans, by evening instruction for a small fee in such drawing as would tend to increase their skill and capacity in ornamental and other designs and models for industrial purposes.
In the Report of the 17th December, 1878, it is stated that it would be advisable to add a course at the Art School to that in the Normal School for such intending public school teachers as show capacity for this, in order that they, in turn, might be capable of giving their pupils sound preliminary teaching in drawing.
The Report for 1881 shows that the larger number of pupils attend to learn as an accomplishment, although excellent teaching has been given in the evening classes to mechanics and others requiring a knowledge of drawing in their trades and occupations.
While the success of the school in this and other directions has been invaluable, and has given much needed stimulus to art studies, and a wider appreciation of their great and general value to our community, yet the actual benefit has been chiefly local, although the school has. been so largely supported from Provincial funds.
Its objects can be made beneficial to the whole Province in reaching with its excellent teaching a large number of the teachers-in-training at the Normal School, and evidencing this by a special certificate, as well as by fitting them and others to supply the want now felt by many of the Mechanics' Institutes for competent instructors by evening classes in such drawing or machine designs and other objects to the many who are now seeking such instruction.
The Report of the 22nd of April, 1880, shows that the views of the Directors were also in the same direction. They say : " The school is growing too large, and the question of art education in the Province too important to be conveniently managed by a voluntary association of teachers, and that the time has come when it is desirable that the Council should have the assistance of a first-class trained teacher from South Ken- sington, whose services would be so valuable, also, in the oversight of the art education of tin- Province."
The advantages of art instruction in increasing the values of the industrial products of Ontario can scarcely be over-estimated, and especially in the improved skill and capacity of all the mechanical and artisan classes ; while it is an established fact that the wealthiest countries in Europe to-day, and States in the American Union, are those which
265
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
have given the most attention to industrial art education, and in which drawing forms part of the instruction in their elementary schools.
Hitherto the complete and valuable collection of the Education Department in sculp- ture, paintings, architectural and other designs, engravings and models, have not been utilized as fully for practical art studies as they are capable of being made ; and now that space has been afforded by the discontinuance of the Depository, and the removal of many objects more suitable to other Provincial institutions, excellent accommodation could be afforded in this Department to the Ontario School of Art and Design, and thus give effect to the unanimous feeling expressed by the Directors of the Society in the resolution of their meeting of the 19th September, 1881, that they should carry on their work of the School of Art at the Education Department. As abundance of room is now available for this work, one thousand dollars at least of the expenditure of the school for rent, taxes and incidental expenses would be directly saved ; while the management of the school could be advantageously left with the Directors of the Society, subject to such control of this Department as could be mutually arranged upon with the view of enlarging its benefits and thus giving more adequate equivalents for the Provincial revenue, by which this school has been so largely supported in the past.
3. Training in Household Economy and Arts.
Amongst the efforts now being made in England and several States of the Union in the direction of obtaining practical results from education, so as to counteract mischiefs arising from merely theoretical, and often superficial teaching, are, training in elementary mechanics and physics by practical methods for boys, and in household economy and arts, such as cooking and sewing, for girls. The future welfare of the boys would thereby be much promoted, and the girls would not be left, as now, ignorant of so much of domestic economy as is required in every home, if its conditions are to be satisfactory and discon- tent prevented, and without which the qualities of thrift and temperance, on which the prosperity of every community so largely depends, cannot well exist.
Instruction in cookery is recognized by the Education Department in England as one of the subjects of domestic economy, for passes in which the allowance of two shillings per pupil is made to School Boards, and in the Code of Regulations of the London School Board (31st March, 1881) provision is made for such instruction, the regulations requiring that one or more of the mistresses in every girls' school must be competent to teach cookery according to the system there laid down.
The National Training School for Cookery has been established for several years at South Kensington, on ground lent for this purpose by the Commissioners for the Exhibi- tion of 1851, and the school supplies teachers as fast as they can be trained. This school is a voluntary association, and is managed by an executive committee of the subscribers, with a lady superintendent, and a staff of three teachers and two cooks. The Report for 1881 gives details which show a large amount of teaching accomplished at a minimum of expense, and that it is self-supporting. While cookery is encouraged by the Education Department, the National School Committee looks for cookery being taught in all the elementary girls' schools throughout England ; and in order to make this instruction thoroughly national and of real benefit to all, they suggest that there should be in every centre where there is a Mechanics' Institute and School Boards, an organization for teaching cookery and household economy.
The cookery taught is fitted for every grade of society, and the greatest pains are taken to teach the pupils that, with careful management, dishes can be made of the best materials at a moderate cost ; no waste is allowed, everything being turned to good account by care and method in the housekeeping and cooking.
The Report also shows that if working women and others were taught how to pre- pare simple, wholesome food, and to work in the kitchen with method and cleanliness, it would effect wonderful improvement in the conditions of their homes, and go a long way in promoting thrift and temperance.
The London School Board has established four cookery centres, which are a great
2CG
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
success, and the girls show a most intelligent interest in their instruction, and take full and sensible notes of all they learn during their two hours' lesson. Other School Boards are following this example, and several teachers were being trained in the National School for this purpose.
Commissioner Eaton, of the Bureau of Education of Washington, has also published a Circular on the subject of Training Schools of Cookery, and in the introduction quotes from Mrs. Noyes, President of the Industrial Committee of the Young Women's Christian Association of Boston, as to the neglect of domestic economy, " that it contributes largely to make the household fare limited, uniform and uninviting, and to increase the meagre- ness of physique, consumptive tendency, and general ill-health of our New England women.
" In our larger towns and cities, women are saying their say on almost every topic save that of good housekeeping. We need a free cooking school, and also some preparatory work in sewing in the public schools, which, with elementary lessons in house-work, could be taken without disadvantage to ' Analysis ' and ' Perspective.' "
The Commissioner also quotes Professor Youmans on this subject in the Popular Science Monthly : " Of the importance, the imperative necessity of this movement, there cannot be the slightest question. Our kitchens, as is most notorious, are the fortified entrenchments of ignorance, prejudice, irrational habits, rule of thumb, and mental vacuity : and the consequence is that the Americans are liable to the reproach of suffering beyond any other people from wasteful, unpalatable, unhealthful and monotonous cookery." He also quotes a competent French authority : " The number of inhabitants who may be supported in any country upon its internal produce depends about as much upon the state of the art of cookery as upon that of agriculture." Also from Miss Corson, Superintendent of the New York Cooking School : " It is often said that a Frenchman can live upon what an American throws away. This is a fact. Not because a Frenchman needs less food than an American, but because he knows how to make the same article go twice as far in pro- ducing palatable dishes. He has been trained from childhood to value food properly. Americans are taught nothing of the sort ; and the result is a sinful waste of the bounti- ful supplies with which Nature has blessed our fruitful country.
" We cannot afford to make all our children professionals, for the professions are already overcrowded, while the mechanical and domestic arts are always open to well- trained workers. There is no form of public teaching which would be more heartily welcomed by the people than the practical industrial education that fits boys and girls to begin the work of life with available tools in their hands, instead of with heads crammed with impracticable ideas."
It is probable that in this Province we also suffer as much as our American neighbours from imperfect cookery. Provisions are cheap, and ignorance of everything appertaining to cookery is everywhere prevalent, and in consequence our food is unhealthful and un- palatable, and needlessly wasted.
The instruction at the National Training School includes (1) lessons in practical cleanliness ; (2) kitchen practice for pupils, in cooking, suitable for families able to spend from $5 to $20 per week for food ; (3) a practice kitchen for teachers-in-training, for the artisan and other classes who can spend only from $2 to $5 weekly for food ; (4) the prac- tical teaching of teachers-in-training. The chief object of the school is to train teachers, who in their turn might sow the knowledge of cooking broadcast, and thus in the end become the common property of the whole people. The one means for accomplishing this is by training teachers of cookery, and a school for this purpose can be readily established in connection with the Education Department, as, with a small outlay, good kitchen accom- modation could be provided in the basement of the Normal School building, and on the first floor there is a lecture and other rooms sufficiently large for pupils. An association of ladies would probably be formed for the management of such school if this accommo- dation were furnished by the Education Department, and such moderate annual sum as would protect their operations from loss, especially during the first few years, and by lower fees to Normal School (female) teachers-in-training, also supply an equivalent. The importance of instruction in sewing is scarcely less than that in house-work, and it forms

one of the subjects which, in the Educational Code in England, is especially encouraged, and is also included in the Regulations of the London School Board.
Commissioner Eaton, in the Circular referred to, shews the value of this art as well as that of cookery ; and Mrs. Noyes makes this reference thereto : " Miss Cuuirnings, teacher of sewing in the Winthrop Public School in this city, is doing a most excellent work. Many of the little girls are from the poorest homes and begin in the rudest fashion ; and in the highest class cutting and fitting are taught. At the spring exhibi- tion of 1878, over 700 hand-made garments were exhibited. Girls of 13 or 14 were very neatly dressed in garments of their own fitting and making, and only one hour twice a week is allowed for learning to sew, and the Principal, who was not at first favourable, thinks that the whole work of the school has been improved by it."

The Inspector reports :—" The Directors of this Institute are doing all in their power to increase its efficiency. The Library has been removed into new and commodious quarters, a neatly-furnished Reading Room attached, and an energetic young man -employed to look after both. The sum of $550 has been expended by the Directors since 1 st May of the current year, and this I regard as a sufficient proof of their earnestness and determination to raise the standard of the Institute."

BERLIN MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.
This Institute has not reported for 1880-81.
The following extracts are from the Berlin Daily News, 22nd March, 1S81 : — "It has often been remarked that Berlin is not a literary town. The Institute in Berlin has a Library of excellent books, all well selected and from the best authors, both English and German. The Institute is kept open every night from seven to ten o'clock; the rooms are kept warm and tidy. But the membership is altogether too small. That there are eighty-three names on the roll of a well-regulated town of 4,000, after such strenuous efforts have been put forth to increase the list, does not look well, and is a very undesir- able state of affairs. The village of Hespeler has a membership of 96, and our neighbouring village of Waterloo has 113, while Berlin, at a yearly subscription of $1, can only report 83. There is also a Reading Room, in which are regularly received 22 newspapers, 6 magazines, and 3 periodicals. The public will not be a little surprised to learn that ' about ten or twelve persons take advantage of the Reading Room.' This is not a pleas- ing commentary on our Institute, and we trust the next report will bring better news. There is nothing so well calculated to impart intelligence to a community as a good public library ; therefore let it be prized."

Total amount of Government grants paid this Institute from 1871 to 1881, $2,812.
Remarks.
The Directors of this Institute have made great efforts during the past year for its improvement, and to add to the popularity of the Institute. They have secured addi- tional accommodation : the Membership has been increased from 60 to 200 ; and they intend establishing Evening Classes on Technical and other subjects during the ensuing winter. The following extract is from the Directors' Annual Report : —
" Our Institute since its first organization has been a struggling and peripatetic one. The natural result has been that the Library has from time to time almost disappeared, as well as the subscribers. This has given ground for a charge sometimes brought against the Institute, that its assets represent but a small proportion of the money received during the long term of its existence. Books constitute the principal asset of the Institute, and unless they are kept in a fixed place, properly cared for when in, and closely looked after when out, they verv soon disappear, or become fit for the waste-basket. Under the best of care the more popular works have from time to time to be replaced on the shelves of a lending library from becoming worn out ; and if they are not in charge of a paid, responsi- ble Librarian, and are being constantly moved from place to place, the percentage of loss soon sweeps away the whole library. The acquisition, therefore, of suitable accommodation for Library and Reading Room in a good locality, together with a competent Librarian, has, during the past year or two, placed our Institute in a much better position than it has hitherto occupied ; and if the reading portion of our community, and the class it is mainly intended to benefit, will only give the future management reasonable encourage- ment and assistance, there is every reason to hope that the standing of the Institute will continue to improve, and that it will become both a credit and an advantage to the town.''

Extracts from Annual Report : — " The membership of the year now closed has been still far below what it should be. The indifference of the mechanics of the city to the opportunities afforded them by the study of valuable scientific works, which would of necessity increase their skill, and proportionately advance their wages, is amazing. Your Directors also feel that, if the owners and masters of departments in our large mercantile and manufacturing industries used their influence with their employees on behalf of the Library, their own interests would be better served, and the usefulness of the Institute increased.
" Your Directors would recommend their successors to secure more suitable premises, easier of access, on the ground floor and on a public thoroughfare. That a Reading Room be amply supplied with the leading American, British and Canadian newspapers, in addition to the resources of the Library, and that both be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. It is also suggested that, while a fee be continued for the use of the Library, the Reading Room shall be free to the general public and to strangers and visitors in the city. It is also recommended that single books be lent out to parties desiring them for a small sum, without requiring them to become annual subscribers to the Institute.
" Your Directors feel that the Institute is to-day in a better condition than at any other former period of its history, and they confidently look forward to their successors in office carrying it forward to a still greater degree of efficiency."

Remarks.
The Inspector reports : — " After several hours spent in inspecting the above Insti- tute, I find that the law has been complied with as closely as it is possible to do. The books, with few exceptions, are in good condition, well kept, properly numbered, and well classified. The fee — viz., $2 — appears to me too high to induce many mechanics and workingmen to become members. The Library and Reading Rooms are spacious."

REMARKS.
Extracts from Annual Report : — " In response to a petition very numerously signed by the ratepayers, our Town Council, by a unanimous vote, granted the Institute $75 a year for rent, in addition to the usual grant of $100 for general purposes. The grant was made on condition that all residents of the town should have free admission to the Library and Reading Room, but without the right of taking home books and periodicals, and that a copy of the yearly Financial Report should be laid before the auditors of the town. Both these conditions were promptly accepted by the Directors. The Librarian reports that the attendance at the Reading Room is much better than last year, and more regular. Liberal proposals are made by the Government, with the view of rendering the Evening Class system more efficient and useful. Special grants, varying from one dollar to four dollars per pupil, will be made to Classes in certain branches of Practical Science. It is expected that some of these Classes will be organized in connection with the Insti- tute. The liberality displayed, both by the Government and by our Municipal Council, makes it incumbent on the members of the Institute to neglect no means of promoting its efficiency and extending its benefits as widely as possible."

Remarks.
No fees are charged for Evening Classes in this Institute. The Inspector reports most favourably on the recent purchases of books. Mr. John Wilson, as representative of this Institute, recommends that Stereopticons be used for illustrating Lectures on Botany, Geology, Physiology, Astronomy, etc., with a view of bringing these subjects in an interesting and popular manner before the people. He says : " Great good will certainly be derived by both young and old from a course of Lectures of this character, and if adopted by Institutes generally would be a great means of popularizing them." He recommends that apprentices and children be charged only 5 cents and adults 10 cents to such Lectures, the object being to bring people within the reach of such instruction.

Chief among tiie events of our year's doings may be mentioned with pleasure the exceedingly handsome response that was made by almost every one to our invitation to aid us by presenting books. From this source we received no less than 350 volumes, in reality worth nearly as many dollars to us, but which were valued by a competent committee at booksellers' rates, and stand to us as the equivalent of $175."

Remarks.
This Institute was practically closed from the year 1877 to the close of 1880. It formerly consisted of a joint stock company, the shareholders claiming the right to elect the officers and manage the affairs of the Institute. The Directors now report that " At a meeting of the subscribers and old stockholders, held on the 7th February last, the annual fee for membership was fixed at $1, in order to place the benefits of the Institute within the reach of all. At the same meeting arrangements were made by which all the stockholders should sign a surrender, on condition of receiving one year's subscription for each share originally purchased. This arrangement secures to all members the same privileges, and renders each member equally eligible to fill an office, so that in future no dissatisfaction can be caused by stockholders only holding office and controlling the affairs of the Institute." This Institute has now complied with the requirements of the Depart- ment, and received a new grant.

Remarks.
The Directors report that " this Institute was called into existence for the purpose of meeting a want long felt, viz., that of extending to all classes of the community at a small outlay an opportunity of enjoying the advantages of a good circulating Library, as well as the instruction and amusement derived from newspaper and periodical literature. They have much pleasure in noticing that very many young men and boys are regular attendants at the rooms. The Institute was founded mainly in the interest of the mechanics and workingmen of the town. The membership and attendance may be con- sidered fair."

Remarks.
Extracts from Inspector's Report:— "I spent nearly four hours in this work, and have to regret that with the exception of the Treasurer's book, which with vouchers is well kept, I cannot speak in high terms of the Institute. Reasons : — There is no classification of tbe books. I find the Librarian's book carelessly kept, many books being returned without being marked off. The books are kept in a book-store, and often when attention should bo devoted to the Librarian's duties he is occupied attending to his customers. Hence the above carelessness."
This report necessitated a correspondence, after which the Minis .er of Education finally decided that the Legislative grant should be paid this year, but in future proper Library accommodation, with the necessary attendance, must be provided.

Total amount of Government grants paid this Institute from 1869 to 1879, $671.
Remarks.
The Directors of this Institute did not apply for new grant. In their report for 1879-80 a balance of $102.75 was unaccounted for. This was merely an omission on the part of the person who filled in the report that was sent to the Department. The sum of $102.75 was paid by the Directors, and certified to by myself, when I examined the vouchers on my visit to Newmarket last year.
Extract from their Annual Report : — "Your Board of Directors are glad to report that, from a circular recently received from the Education Department, a more liberal interpretation of the law governing expenditure, will prevail in future ; also, that it is proposed to extend, modify and liberalize the grants to Associations of this kind, in such a way as may reasonably be expected to increase their usefulness by the encouragement of Reading Rooms and Evening Classes."

Remarks.
Extract from Inspector's Report : " The Institute seems to be carefully conducted, and the books seem to be largely read, Works of Fiction taking the precedence, however. I may also state that the books are not covered, and some of the older ones have depre- ciated much in value. I find 641 volumes on the shelves, and 156 supposed to be lost. On the whole, the management seems to be very satisfactory, and I am convinced the Library serves a good purpose in the Town of Orangeville.

In order that the required information maybe obtained here- after, it will be necessary for the Institute to be instructed by the proper authority to provide Register, ruled and headed suitably for this purpose."

Remarks.
The Inspector says: "In 1880 nothing was done by way of purchasing books, etc. In June of the present year (1881) I visited the Institute again, but nothing had been done up to 1st May. I visited the Institute again in September, and found the books in good condition ; the President was about purchasing books in Toronto. The Institute needs encouragement, and I am satisfied that the officers will, this present year, infuse new life into it."

Remarks.
Extract from Annual Report : — "The question of Evening Classes in connection with the Institute has now, by instructions from the Department, become one of the certain- ties. Our experience for the last two or three years has been rather unsatisfactory, seeing that we were unable to obtain the minimum of twenty pupils ; and to conduct classes with a less number would have been too heavy a draw on our resources. How- ever, by new regulations the minimum is reduced to ten in elementary subjects, and to five in technical subjects. There need be no fear for the future, and we would enjoin on our successors the necessity of organizing Evening Classes early in the fall of the year."

Extract from Inspector's report : — "The books of this Institute are not systemati- cally kept ; both the Treasurer's and the Librarian's books are hard to understand. If you would insist on some uniform and intelligible method, it would facilitate work of this nature very much." In reference to the number of volumes issued, he says: "I examined the delivery book, but found it impossible to spend the time necessary to satisfy myself that the statement of this sheet is correct. Some simpler method than that employed now must be devised before this information can be given and signed by an honest man."

The Inspector reports: — "I find cash on hand $397.05, instead of $97.05, as reported, but this arose from a cheque for $300 to pay for books being returned and can- celled, and the exact cost of books since ordered to be paid." I have secured changes in the accounts, that the amounts cannot appear in both years." He further says : — "The Library is in excellent order, the books are well kept, and an increased interest in the Library is manifested by the public. I would suggest that all Institutes be required to keep records of classes, and names of students who attend classes, for future reference if required. Indeed, I think full records of all matters concerning the Institute, and of everything undertaken to promote their usefulness, should be recorded and be readily available."

Extract from Annual Report : — " During the past year the Library, Reading and Class Rooms have been removed to excellent and commodious rooms. The Reading Room is splendidly furnished and well supplied with magazines, periodicals, weeklies, and the leading dailies of Canada, the United States and Great Britain — the reading matter cost- ing yearly the sum of $127, besides the local weeklies contributed gratis by the pub- lishers. We would also suggest that the best monthlies be not circulated until the volumes be complete and bound, thereby saving hundreds of dollars to the Institute."

Annexed to the Annual Report is a statement that the sum of $118 in Report, for books, was the sum necessarily expended in order to obtain the grant for 1879-80, but $580 has been duly appropriated by the Directors for the purchase of books which have been ordered. Of the books so ordered, at the present date (1st August, 1881) the Institute has received $341.23 worth. It may be added, that since the 1st May, 1881, the membership has nearly doubled."

Remarks.
The Inspector reports : " This Institute was inspected by Dr. May last year, and has received no Government aid for 1880-81, in consequence of which no books have been added to the Library for the year 1881, or any accounts kept. At a public meeting held on the 2nd instant, a new Committee of Management was appointed, and it was enthusiastically resolved to reopen the Institute in all its branches — fa) Reading Room, (b) Library, (c) Evening Classes. The number of members is now approaching 300 ; a fine suite of rooms has been rented ; and there is every prospect of this Institute becoming one of the best in the country. I may add that about two-thirds of the members are mechanics, and the Committees are made up largely from that class."
The following extract is from a letter sent by the President : —
"Smith's Falls, 10th June, 1881. "Dr. S. P. Mat.
" Dear Sir, — I have the honour to report for your information that since your visit last summer a complete change has taken place in the Institute in this town." "At an adjourned meeting of the Annual Meeting a new staff of officers was elected, and new and commodious rooms have been engaged, the Library moved in, a Reading-Pboom opened, and it is the intention of the Directors to- have Evening Classes through the winter months, and comply with every requirement of the Act. One most gratifying result of the new order of things is the acquisition of over 150 mechanics to the mem- bership." "When you next visit us I think you will agree with me that we have fairly shaken the dry bones and made them live."
(Signed) "Francis F. Frost."

This Institute has been recently organized, but owing to the inexperience of former secretary, details of the practical operations of the Society were wanting. A sincere effort has been made to establish the Institute, and in the future formalities will be observed.

The Inspector says: — "A blank Register has been prepared on which is recorded the subject of each book issued, so that hereafter we shall be able to supply that information. In regard to the Library and Reading Room, everything is in excellent order: and as to Evening Classes, at the close of the term an examination was held, at which the pupils were examined in Arithmetic and Book-keeping, and the result showed that the pupils had been efficiently instructed."

Extracts from Annual Report : — "In view of the fact that the Public School Board had opened free Evening Schools in various parts of the city, it was not deemed politic to continue the classes so long carried on by the Institute, as such a course would assuredly have entailed a considerable loss." "The circulation of books is 16 per cent, less than that of the year previous."

This Institute is not yet entitled to apply for a new grant.

RESPECTING THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGES! AND SCHOOLS PROVINCIALLY ENDOWED,
AND SUBJECT TO THE CONTROL OP YOUR HONOUR IN COUNCIL.
These institutions come next in order. They are exclusively Provincial, being supported by Provincial endowments or funds, and subject to the control of Your Honour in Council, but possessing their own Senate, Council, or governing bodies, and not within the jurisdiction of the Education Department as such, although, in their relations with the Government, the Minister of Education is usually referred to for his Report.
Division 1. The Provincial University.
This is constituted by two corporations, the University of Toronto and University College ; and their respective constitutions and powers are set forth in the Revised Statutes of Ontario, Chapters 210 and 209 respectively. The University was originally established by Royal Charter from His late Majesty King George the Fourth, bearing date the 15th day of March, 1827, as " King's College," with the style and privilege of a University, and under the Corporate name of the Chancellor, President and Scholars of " King's College," at York, in the Province of Upper Canada ; the President being required to be a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland ; and the government was vested in the "College Council," composed of the Chancellor and Presi- dent, and of seven of the Professors, members of the Established United Church of England and Ireland, who previously to their admission should severally sign and subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles ; but no religious test or qualification was to be required of students, or admission to any degree in any Art or Faculty, excepting in Divinity, when the same declarations and subscriptions were required as in case of a degree in Divinity in the University of Oxford. Rome of the provisions of the Charter were amended in consequence of its exclusive and restrictive character " in causing uneasiness, complaint, and discussion," as pointed out by Lord Goderich in his despatch of November 21st, 1831, by the Act of Upper Canada passed on the 6th of March, 1834 ; the President in future not being required to be an incumbent of an ecclesiastical office, and any member of the Council or Professor not necessarily of the Church of England, and no religious test being required of students.
Upper Canada College, then lately erected, was also incorporated with and declared to form an appendage of the University of " King's College," and subjected to its jurisdiction and control.
The Province of Upper Canada was in 1791 constituted a separate Province by the Imperial Act 31 George III., Chapter 31, and its Governor, General Simcoe, and Legislative ( 'ouncil, and House of Assembly were from the first impressed with the importance <>f due provision for education generally, and in 1798 the Crown set apart 500,000 acres of the public domain, in response to the joint address of the Legislative Council and Assembly, which prayed that His Majesty would direct his Government in the Province to appropriate a certain portion of the Crown Lands as a fund for educational purposes, including the establishment and support of a Grammar School in each 1 »istrirt thi'ivnf, and also a College or University for the instruction of youth in the different branches of liberal knowledge. In 1825, the Governor, Sir P. Maitland, with the view to the early establishment of the University, recommended an exchange of Crown Reserves for an equal quantity of the lands appropriated for the University in 179S. In 1826 this exchange was authorized by the Imperial Government, and the,
357
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
University was accordingly endowed in 1828 with Crown Reserves in quantity about 225,000 acres. From the sales of these lands the permanent endowment of the Univer- sity has arisen, amounting on the 31st December, 1880, to $969,181, and produciug an income (with the University Park rentals) of $64,400.
"King's College" was opened for students in 1843. By the legislation of 1849 (the "Baldwin Act"), 12 Vic, Chap. 82, the University, as established by the Royal Charter of King George IV., was changed into that of the University of Toronto, with the corporate title of " the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Toronto," in order, as recited in that Act, to extend the benefits of University education to all members of the various denominations of Christians in the Province of Upper Canada, and to place its government and discipline free from all denominational bias, so that the just rights and privileges of all might be maintained without offence to the religious opinions of any.
The Senate was constituted of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, the President, and all the Professors of the University, with twelve or ruore members to be appointed, one- half by the Crown and the other half by the Colleges in Upper Canada mentioned in the Act. Three Faculties — Law, Medicine, and Arts — with their respective Deans, were established, and a Council of five members, termed "the Caput," was formed of the President, the Deans of the three Faculties, and a fifth member appointed by Convocation. Convocation consisted of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, President, and Professors, all graduates in Law or Medicine and Masters of Arts. The Endowment Board was entrusted with the general charge and management of the property of the University, under such University Statutes as might be passed. The University had no power to confer any degree in Divinity, but in all the other Arts and Faculties : and no religious test could be required of students. The Act contained a provision for the appointment, by any incor- porated College in Upper Canada with University powers, upon the surrender thereof (except in the Faculty of Divinity), of a member to the Senate of the University.
The University continued its work under this Act until 1853, when a further Act was passed, known as " The Hincks Act," under which the University was constituted with two corporations, "The University of Toronto" and the "University College" — the functions of the University being limited to the examination of candidates for degrees in the several faculties, or for Scholarships or Honours, and the granting of such Degrees, Scholarships and Honours. The University thereafter consisted of a Chancellor, the Vice- Chancellor, and such other members of the Senate as the Governor might appoint; and cer- tain institutions from which students might be examined for degrees, as provided in the 17th and 18th sections, were said to be affiliated to the University. University College was authorized by its Council to determine the branches of knowledge to be taught by its Professors, Lecturers and Teachers, except in Divinity, Law and Medicine.
The endowment and property were vested in the Crown for the purposes of the University and University College, and placed in the managment, under Orders of the Governor in Council, "of the Bursar of the University and Colleges of Toronto." The Permanent Fund and the General Income Fund were constituted and defined, and the purposes for which appropriations out of such funds might be made.
In 1873 further amendments were made by the Act 36 Vic, Chap. 29, (introduced by me) in the following pai-ticulars : — The Chancellor was made elective for three years by Convocation, which was then re-established, instead of appointed by the Governor, under the Act of 1853. The Senate was composed of the Chancellor, certain ex-officio members, 15 elected by Convocation and 9 appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council for the respective terms prescribed. Convocation was composed of all graduates in Law, Medicine and Surgery, all Masters of Arts and Bachelors of Arts of three years' standing, all Doctors of Science and Bachelors of Science of three years' standing. The powers of the Senate were extended to all branches of knowledge, literature, science and art, and also to granting certificates after examination to all persons, including women ; also with respect to the affiliation of any college, school, or other institution established in this Province for the promotion of literature, science or art, or for instruction in law, medicine, mechanics, science, engineering, agriculture or other useful branch of educa- tion. So much of tlese several Acts as were in force are to be found in the Revised
358
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
Statutes of Ontario, Chapters 208 tc 211 inclusive ; since which section 18 of Chap. 211 has been amended by requiring that every Order in Council directing payment from the Permanent Fund should be laid before the Legislative Assembly for ratification or rejec- tion, and that no such Order should be operative or valid until ratified by resolution of the Legislative Assembly. By the Act of last session, 44 Vic, Chap. 31, the membership of Convocation was extended to all graduates in the several faculties of the "University and a register of graduates required to be kept open and accessible to members, and the nomina- tion of the Chancellor and members of the Senate to be made by nomination papers to be sent to the Registrar at least four weeks before the period of election, with power to the Senate to appoint to any vacancy occurring during the term of any Senator elected by Convocation. Also to authorize the investment of the Permanent Fund upon mortgage securities, subject to the regulations of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.
Under the authority of the several Statutes in that behalf, Orders in Council have been passed from time to time for the security and investment of the Permanent Fund of the University as well as of Upper Canada College, and for a proper system of manage- ment and administration of the property. Such Orders usually proceed on the recommen- dation of the Minister of Education.
The most important of such Orders in Council, with their respective dates of approval, are those contained in the following recommendations : —
Board of Management. \&tli May, 1878.
In order to secure the better management and administration of the property vested in the Crown, in trust for the purposes of the University of Toronto, University College and CTpper Canada College, it is desirable that the Regulations for this object should be passed by Your Honour in Council, and the undersigned accordingly submits the following as such Regulations : —
1. The debentures and other securities, payable to bearer, in which any part of the endowment of the above Institutions is from time to time invested, shall be deposited in the vaults of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in proper boxes, with two independent locks ; the key of one lock shall be retained by the Provincial Treasurer, anil that of the other by the Bursar of the University and Colleges.
2. Each such debenture or security shall be stamped on the face thereof with the following declaration : " This security is part of the Endowment Fund of the University of Toronto (or Upper Canada College, as the case may be), and no property or interest therein can be validly gained or transferred unless under the official signatures of the Treasurer of the Province of Ontario and of the Bursar of the University and Colleges at Toronto. Dated the day of , 18 — ."
3. Having regard to the provisions of the Statute in that behalf, whereby the Lieu- tenant-Governor in Council may direct the particular purposes to which the appropriations for the current expenses of the said Institutions should be applied, or place the same at the disposal of the Senate of the University, or of the Council of the said College, or of any Committee thereof respectively, a Board of Management shall be constituted which shall be composed of the Vice-Chancellor for the time being of the University of Toronto, and of two members elected by the Senate thereof from the members thereof, and of the President of University College, and one member elected by the Council thereof who need not necessarily be a member of such Council.
4. The functions to be exercised by such Board of Management shall be defined as follows : —
(1) The control and administration of all expenditures under the appropriations
from time to time made by Order in Council from the Income of the University Endow-
Eor the purposes of the University and University College, and in making such
expenditure the Board will make specific appropriations annually, at the beginning of
each year, for the respective services required for such period. In cases where the service
non to both the University and University College, the appropriation is to be
a whole ; for instance, in reference to the Museum, Library, Grounds, Repairs and
the like, and in cases where the expenditure is special for one Institution or the other,
359
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
they should nevertheless be made out of the Appropriation Fund as one fund, applicable to meet the current expenditure of two Institutions treated as far as may be as one. The payment of salaries and the like, which are fixed and regular, are to be made upon a monthly pay-sheet, as is usual in the Departments of the Public Service; but all other expenditure shall be made upon proper vouchers, to be certified from time to time as the Board of Management may determine.
(2) The regulation and control of the University buildings and of the grounds and other premises connected therewith.
(3) The control and supervision of all the property comprised in the lease to the Corporation of the City of Toronto, consisting of the Avenues and Park, with the duty of requiring the fulfilment by the Corporation of all the covenants and conditions contained in the said lease, and especially in protecting the Avenues and Park from being used otherwise than for purposes for which Parks are ordinarily used or resorted to.
(4) The consideration from time to time as to investments on account of the Endow- ment Fund ; of the best disposition by sale, lease or otherwise, of landed or other property, part of such endowment ; and the best means of managing the endowment and property generally.
(5) The duty of keeping Minutes of their proceedings, and of making reports and recommendations from time to time, to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, touching any of the above matters.
(6) The Bursar of the University and Colleges shall in the discharge of his duties be subject to the supervision and directions of the Honourable the Minister of Education.
(7) With respect to all dispositions or alienations of any property or securities belonging to the above Institutions or Endowment Funds thereof respectively, none shall be made except under the Order from time to time of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, and then upon the signature of the Bursar, countersigned by the Treasurer of the Province.
(8) The Bursar shall keep the accounts for current annual expenditure, and for the amount of Income property applicable therefor, separate and distinct from the Capital account. All cheques of the Bursar on account of such Income appropriation shall be countersigned by the Chairman for the time being of the said Committee, while all cheques upon Capital account shall be countersigned by the Provincial Treasurer.
(9) The Bursar's accounts shall be balanced half-yearly, on the 30th day of June and the 31st day of December in each year, and the same submitted to the Provincial Treasurer, who shall direct the auditing thereof by the Auditor of his Department, and the report of such audit shall be periodically made to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.
Upper Canada College.
With reference to Upper Canada College, the same provisions, as far as applicable, shall apply to the management of the Endowment, property, income and affairs thereof, but all duties in reference to the same shall be entrusted to and performed by the Com- mittee on Upper Canada College appointed by the Senate of the University of Toronto, and the Chairman thereof shall discharge the like powers as Chairman of the Board of Management hereinbefore mentioned.
That the Senate of the University and the Council of University College be respect- fully requested to pass such Statutes or Regulations as may be required on their part for carrying into effect the foregoing recommendations.
Custody of Secwrities. i'lnd Janua/ry, 1881. By Order in Council of the 16th May, IS 78, it is provided that — 1. The debentures and other securities, payable to bearer, in which any part of the Endowment of the above Institution is from time to time invested, shall be deposited in the vaults of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in proper boxes, with two independent locks ; the key of one lock shall be retained by the Provin sial Treasurer, and that of the other by the Bursar of the University and Colleges.
3G0
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
2. Each such debenture or security shall be stamped on the face thereof with the following declaration : " This security is part of the Endowment Fund of the University of Toronto (or Upper Canada College, as the case may be), and no property or interest therein can be validly gained or transferred unless under the official signature of the Treasurer of the Province of Ontario and of the Bursar of the University and Colleges at Toronto. Dated day of , 18 — ."
These provisions have not hitherto been actually carried into effect, owing to certain questions which had arisen as to the efficacy of this method, and also with the view of obtaining from the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in whose vaults such securities are deposited, a legal guarantee against any possible loss that might occur.
From the recent reply of the Bank, it appears that the legal capacity and power to enter into any such engagement is doubtful.
Under these circumstances, the undersigned proposes that the original mode prescribed by the said Order in Council shall at once be carried into effect, but that, instead of the personal attendance of the Honourable the Provincial Treasurer, the Provincial Auditor be substituted and represent him in the discharge of these functions. The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that an Order in Council be passed with the object of substituting in this particular the Provincial Auditor, in order that he may personally attend, in company with the Bursar, at the Bank from time to time as occasion requires, on behalf of the Provincial Treasurer."
Sales ■•/' Land, 7th February, 1881.
The Board of Management submit a Report of all Sales of Lands made by the Board up to date (13th January, 1881).
Investments. 7th February, 1881.
The Board of Management submit a Report of all Investments made by the Board upon the security of first mortgage of real estate up to date (13th January, 1881).
Statutes of the University. 23rd March, 1881.
Recommendation of the Minister of Education that the Statutes passed by the Senate of the University of Toronto at its meeting held the 14th March, 1881, relating
(1) To the affiliation of St. Michael's College with the University ;
(2) To the admission of women to Degrees, Scholarships, etc., in the University, be
approved.
University College — Residence of P 'resident. [ith April, 1881.
The Board of Management of the University of Toronto reported to the undersigned that, in view of the advantages which would ensue if the President of University College resided in its vicinity, the period for this should no longer be deferred, and the Board reported that the estimated cost of a suitable residence on the University grounds was the sum of §11,500.
While the undersigned concurs with the Board in the necessity of such residence for the President of University College, he has found that one suitable in every respect can now be obtained on land adjacent to that of the University residence on the west, being the dwelling-house No. 121, on the east side of St. George Street, and the parcel of land therewith, 120 feet in front by 198 feet in depth to the University grounds.
This will afford the desired accommodation and conveniences for the President's residence. The property is offered for sale or lease upon the following terms : annual rent §800 per annum, tin- landlord paying sewer rates; the purchase price being $13,000, including the sewer rate commuted.
Under the foregoing circumstances, the undersigned has provisionally arranged to
obtain a lease for two years from the 1st June next, when possession can be taken on the
Tins, with the right to exercise the option of purchasing the fee simple within one
year in case it should appear that it is to the interests of the University to acquire this
361
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
property, rather than to give effect to the proposals of the Board of Management for the purpose of the President's residence.
The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that Your Honour in Council may be pleased to authorize a lease of the property mentioned upon the said terms, and that the same be executed by the Bursar of the University and Colleges, on behalf of Her Majesty for University purposes.
Lease to Protestant Episcopal Divinity School. 3rd Jane, 1881.
The Protestant Episcopal Divinity School being about to erect the necessary buildings for its objects, and having arranged for land as a site on the Yonge Street Avenue, were about proceeding with such building when it was suggested that the advantages of instruction in University College could be obtained, as well as of Degrees by the University of Toronto, for the students of such School, if the Divinity School were erected on a site sufficiently near the University buildings. It was also apparent that this would promote the educational interests of these several Institutions, as well as afford another practical illustration of the principle of consolidation under the Provincial University, while each Institution could also extend to each other relative educational advantages. The larger number of students in the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School would become matriculants in the University. The Divinity School, in expending the large sum of seventeen to twenty thousand dollars on the proposed buildings, would assist in giving additional value to other University property, if the School were placed upon a site which is not likely for many years to come into demand for leasing for residential purposes.
Under the circumstances, the Board of the University and that of the School agreed upon lots Numbers seven and ten on the plan of University Park as being a suitable situation for the School, under a lease to be granted by the Bursar cf the University for a term of twenty-one years, at an annual ground rent of $125, payable half yearly, renew- able on similar terms of twenty-one years, at a rent to be settled by valuation.
Having regard to the foregoing, the undersigned respectfully begs to recommend that an Order in Council be passed to authorize the Bursar of the University to enter into and execute the necessary lease to give effect to the foregoing arrangement.
Arrangements for Facilitating Investments, ith June, 1881.
1. The Board of Management of the University submits the annexed Report for the information of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, respecting investments on account of the permanent Endowment Fund of the University, and proposes to arrange for loans upon the security of first mortgages upon improved freehold farm property in the Province of Ontario, according to the Regulations of Your Honour in Council in that behalf.
2. With the view of facilitating such operations, the Board recommends that arrangements with the Canadian Bank of Commerce for an advance of money from time to time be approved of ; but upon the suggestions of the undersigned the rate of interest has been agreed upon between the Bank and the University at five per centum per annum, instead of five and a quarter, as proposed in the Report of the said Board.
The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that the University be authorized to obtain from time to time such advances from the Canadian Bank of Commerce, not exceeding at any one time the sum of $50,000, and at the rate of interest not exceeding five per centum per annum, for the purpose of facilitating the investments on account of the permanent Endowment Fund of the University in first mortgages upon improved freehold farm property in the Province of Ontario.
University of Toronto o,o! University College — liotird of Management — Additional Members. 15th July, 1881.
By Order in Council dated 10th May, 1S7K, by which the Board of Management of the University of Toronto and University College was constituted, it was provided that
:;<;2
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
two of such Board should be appointed by the Senate of the University of Toronto, the Vice-Chancellor being ex-qfficio member of such Board by the said Order in Council ; and by a further Order in Council of the 29th September, 1880, it was provided that the Chancellor should be and become an ex-qfficio member of such Board, that the quorum of such Board should be four, excepting when the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor was present, when it might be three.
In the practical administration of the various functions and duties of the Board of Management, it has been found desirable that two additional members should be appointed thereto. The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that the Senate of the University of Toronto be authorized to elect two of the members thereof as additional members of the Board of Management, and that the quorum of the Board should remain as hereinbefore provided by the Order in Council of the 29th September, 1880.
Appointment of a Member of thf. Senate. 8th October, 1881.
Recommendation of the Minister of Education that the Rev. William Caven, D.D., Principal of Knox College, be appointed a member of the Senate of the University of Toronto, in place of Daniel Wilson, Esq., LL.D., who on being appointed President of University College became ex-officio a member of the Senate.
Investment of Endowment. 5th December, 1881.
By the Order in Council dated 3rd June, 1881, Regulations were approved of by Your Honour in Council respecting investments on first mortgage securities of moneys forming part of the Endowment of the University of Toronto, University College, or Upper Canada College and Royal Grammar School.
Upon a subsequent conference between the Board of Management and the under- signed, it was considered that these objects could be more satisfactorily carried into effect if certain amendments and alterations were to be made therein.
The accompanying Regulations have been amended by the undersigned accordingly, and he recommends them for the approval of Your Honour in Council:
Regulations as to Investments on First Mortgage Securities of Moneys forming part of the Endowment of the University of Toronto and University College, or Upper Canada College.
1. Applications for such loan shall be according to a printed form, stating all essential particulars for the information of the Board of Management and of the Committee of the Senate on Upper Canada College (as the case may be), whose approval and report is required in each case.
2. The lands on which loans may be effected shall be confined to improved freehold farm property in the Province of Ontario, and first class freehold property in the city of Toronto.
3. The amount to be loaned shall not exceed sixty per cent, of the actual selling value in cash of the property.
4. The title of the Bursar as mortgagee in each case shall be certified by the Solicitor to the effect that upon payment of the proposed advance of money the title of the Bursar will be that of first mortgagee in fee simple, free from all encumbrance.
5. The amount of any loan shall not be less than $400, nor more than $10,000, unless specially authorized by Order in Council.
6. The rate of interest shall be at the highest current rate.
7. Any mortgage security to be taken, or heretofore taken, in which any part of the said Endowments may be invested, may be discharged or assigned by the Bursar, under his seal of office, countersigned by the Minister of Education, from time to time, as the principal money thereof is fully paid and discharged, and certified to by the report of the Board of Management, or the Committee of the Senate on Upper Canada College (as the case may be).

Report for 1881.
The President and Council of University College beg leave to present to your Honour, as Visitor on behalf of the Crown, the following Report on the condition and progress of the College for the year 1881.
It has been the practice to make up the Annual Report of University College to the close of the calendar year, ending Dec. 31st. The Report thus prepared has been presented to His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor sufficiently early in the following year to admit of its being laid before the Provincial Legislature at its usual period of meeting.

Under the special circumstances of the College, and the arrangement of its Academic Terms, this lias been attended with the advantage of affording an opportunity for prac- tically submitting to Parliament the work of the year still in progress, instead of that which closed in the previous June.
In their last Annual Report the Council had to note important changes in the College Staff, consequent on the retirement of the late President and Professor of Classical Litera- ture, the Professor of Chemistry and Experimental Philosophy, an 1 the Dean of Residence and also Classical Tutor. They have pleasure in now being able to report that their expec- tations of results from the changes thereby rendered necessary have been fully realized. They have led to greater efficiency in carrying on the general work of the College, and in overtaking the special requirements of the Departments chiefly affected.
The number of students in attendance at University College at the close of the academic year 1880-81, was three hundred and fifty-one. Of these, the Returns show that they came in varying numbers from thirty-seven different counties of Ontario, and from the District of Muskoka, in addition to those from beyond the Province, including students from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, and from the United States.
The Returns thus far made up for the academic year now in progress include students from forty counties of Ontario, in addition to those from Muskoka, from the Provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, and from the United States.
At the Convocation held by the University of Toronto on the 8th June, 1881, the following Degrees were conferred on students who had received their education in Univer- sity College. Sixty-seven in all were admitted to the following Degrees : — Nine to the Degree of Master of Arts, three to the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine, and fifty-five to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts. Since the reorganization of the University and College on their present basis in 1853, the Degrees conferred in the Faculties of Arts, Medicine, ami Law, on students trained in University College, have numbered in all seven hundred and eighty-nine, classified as follows : — LL.D., five ; LL.B., thirty-one; M.D., fourteen ; M.B., forty-seven ; M.A., two hundred and twenty-five ; B.A., four hundred and sixty- •even.
The following constitute the present Teaching Staff of University College : — .Classical Literature, embracing the Greek and Latin languages — Professor Hutton,
B.A., FeHow of Merton College (Oxford), and F. A. Vines, B.A (Oxford). Oriental Literature, including Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic — J. M.
Hirschf elder. German — \V. H. VanderSmissen, M.A. (Toronto). French — Mons. Emile Pernet. Italian— W. Oldright, M.A., M.D.
Rhetoric and English Literature — Professor D. Wilson, LL.D., F.R.S.E. (Edinburgh). Logic, Metaphysics, and Ethics — Professor G. P. Young, M.A. (Glasgow). Ancient and Modern History, — Professor D. Wilson LL.D., F.R.S.E. Mathematics and Natural Philosophy — Professor J. Loudon, M.A. (Toronto), and
Alfred Baker, M.A. (Toronto). Mineralogy and Geology — Professor E. J. Chapman, Ph.D., LL.D. Botanv and Zoology — Professor Ramsay Wright, M.A., B.Sc. (Edinburgh). Chemistry— Professor W. H. Pike, M.A. (Oxford), Ph.D.
By the staff of Professors, Lecturers, and Assistants here enumerated, instruction is given in tiie various branches of study embraced in the requirements of the University for standing and degrees in the Faculty of Arts. In addition to this, the arrangements provided for in the Act establishing a School of Practical Science, which admits of the attendance of students of the School at such lectures in University College as come within the course of its instruction, have been carried out under an Order in Council, so as at le time to provide for the students of this College additional facilities, including practical instruction in the laboratories and lecture-rooms now under the joint conduct of the Professors and Lecturers of both Institutions. Nevertheless, the increasing numbers of students in attendance at University College render it more and more difficult for the
24 367
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
present stall' to overtake all the requirements of the University curriculum. This is specially felt to be the case in the Honour work, alike in the study of tue Ancient and Modern Languages, in the Class Rooms, and in the practical work of the Sciences in the Laboratory, where the teachers must to a large extent deal with each student in livi I nail y.
The total number of students in attendance at the close of the academic year 1880—81 was three hundred and fifty-one, as compared with three hundred and twenty-four of the previous year, of whom two hundred and ninety-five were pursuing the full course and proceeding to a Degree in Arts. Among the various tests which may be employed to determine the successful fulfilment of the most important functions of the College, the relative number of matriculated as compared with non-matriculated students is one of the most efficient, and in this respect the progress has been highly satisfactory. In 1854, out of a total of one hundred and ten students, only twenty-eight were matric ila&ed, with two more following out the full undergraduate course ; in 1860-61, of a total of one hundred and eighty-eight students, eighty were matriculated ; and in 1S70-71 the total number had risen to two hundred and forty-four, of whom one hundred and seventy-two were matriculated. Now, after the lapse of another decade, the total number of students in L880 ^l is three hundred and fifty-one, of whom two hundred and ninety -live are pursuing the full courses prescribed by the University for the Degree of B.A. It may lie ad i id, tli it tie; increase in numbers is in reality much greater than the above returns show. In 1854 and subsequent years the occasional students consisted largely of Medical students availing themselves of the Chemical Lectures and the Laboratory, -a class of students who, owing to the erection of a new hospital remote from the College, and the removal of the Medical Schools to its vicinity, now very partially avail themselves of the scientific teaching of University College. Of those now classed as non-matriculated students, the greater number are pursuing an eclectic course in the several departments of the Faculty of Arts.
The fruits of this progress are now becoming apparent. Among the students who have c itnpleted their training in University College, and proceeded to a Degree in Arts, a number have taken high standing in the University Honour Lists; and from among those some have not only distinguished themselves at the Bar, but have risen to high judicial positions, while others occupy seats both in the Provincial Legislature and the Dominion Parliament. Of the others, nineteen have been entrusted with the responsible duties of Principals, Professors, ami Lecturers in the Colleges and Normal Schools of this and other Provinces ; and eighty-four are Masters and Teachers, fifty of them being Head Masters in the Collegiate Institutes an 1 High Schools of the Province. Looking, there- fore, to the comparatively brief period during w lich University College has been in operation, such results may be confidently appealed to in evidence of its value as a Pro- vincial Institution.
But the rapid increase in numbers, from twenty-eight matriculated students in 1851 to two bundled and ninety-five in 1881, justifies the Council in now instituting a com- parison between the Teaching Staff provided for carrying on the work of this College and that of other well-appointed Colleges in Great Britain or on this continent. In nearly all of them it will be found that provision is made, in the Teaching Faculty, for a much greater division of sib; its. Instead of one Professor of Classical Literature, as in University College, it is usual to make separate Professorships of the Greek and Latin Languages and Literature. Separate < lhairsof .Mat he unities and Natural Philosophy take the place of what is here a single Professorship. The same is the case with Zoology and Botany : and not only is Hi: \ I lhair distinct from that of Rhetoric and English Literature, with which it is here conjoined, but Ancient History is constituted a separate ('hair from Modern History ; while in many cases the latter is conjoined with Political Economy, or is made to embrace the important subjects of Constitutional History and Jurisprudence.
The necessity for some greater division in the teaching of the varied subjects em- braced in the College curriculum is being more and more forced on the attention of the Council, alike by the increase in the number of students, and by the augmentation in the dumber and the subdivision of subjects required in the revised Statutes of the University for proceeding to a Degree in Arts.
The most pressing want at present felt in this respect is the separation of Natural
368
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1S82
Philosophy from Mathematics. With a view to partially meet this, it is proposed to appoint a Demonstrator in Physics, to supplement the labours of the Professor, anil fultil in some degree the requirements for Honour Students in this department. It will also be indispensable, at so ae early date, to separate Rhetoric and English Literature from History. Apart from other duties now devolving on the incumbent of the, joint Chair, the multiplication of requirements in each of those branches, now extending over the four years of the undergraduate course, renders it no longer possible for one Professor to satisfactorily overtake t he amount of work. The financial department lies entirely beyond the control of the 0 dlege Council; but, .so far as now appears, the entire income derivable from the endowment, and from si udents' fees, is little more than sufficient for the present expenditure for University and College purposes. In view of the manifest need for farther extension, it has been suggested that the fees now exacted from students in at- fcerdanee on the College be increased, so as to furnish some ade [uate addition to the avail- able income. Apart f om this possible source of revenue, and from Provincial funds at the disposal of the Legislature, the College Council venture to hone that when it is fully known that the funds of the College are no longer adequate for its extension, the acknowledged success which has thus far marked its progresswill be recognized as a claim on public liberality. Generous benefactors have already contributed to the resources of other Canadian Colleges ; and the Council confidently hope that the claims of the Provin- cial College only require to be fully made known to meet with a like fostering care. The establishment of new Chairs, to be, as in other Colleges, associated in all time coming with the names of their generous founders, will constitute the most effective aid and stimulus to the f itere prog--ss or University College.
The arrangements now existing between the College and the School of Practical Science continue to afford the students of both institutions increased facilities for instruc- tion in the departments of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences. Since the last Annual Report some valuable additions have been made to the philosophical apparatus; and in this department the appliances for practical instruction in Dynamics, Light, Heat, Sound, and in all branches of Physics except Electricity, are now extensive, and creditable to the College as a Provincial Institution.
Examinations were held in Michaelmas and Easter Terms of the past academic year and honours and prizes awarded to the successful competitors in the various departments The Honour Lists for the year, along with a synopsis of lectures and oth r details relative to the work of the College, will be found in the College Calendar for the present year, of which a copy is herewith sent.

1. Proceedings dv/ring the year 1881.
Since my Special Report to your Honour, dated 31st January, 1881, and laid before igislativp Assembly at its last Se sion {Sessional Papers No. SI), in which I sub- rj Eor consideration certain proposals for promoting the efficiency of the College and in kiiiL' its benefits more Provincial, I was able to further investigate important questions ial to such objects, .and thereupon prepared a memorandum and submitted the with my Report, dated 31st May, 1881, to your Honour, and recommended these t . I.e. considered and dealt with by the Senate of the University. Such Report and ■andum are now set forth as follows: In the Special Report of the undersigned to your Honour on this subject, dated 31st January, 1881, and laid before the Legislative Assembly at its last Session, the under- signed submitted for consideration certain proposals for promoting the efficiency of the . and making its benefits more Provincial. Under ordinary circumstances it would have been desirable that, in matters affecting the well-being of the College, the statutory jurisdiction of the Senate of the University -should have been left to take the initiative, but when the very existence of the College is
3(39
45 Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. .5). A. 1S82
threatened, the paramount responsibility of the Government is necessarily involved, and it would fail in discharging its duty if it did not carefully weigh and consider the grounds upon which the further existence of the College as a Provincial institution should be maintained, when its usefulness has been questioned in the Legislative Assembly and generally discussed.
The Government is also bound to ascertain whether there are grounds for thu alleged inefficiency of the College, and what measures should be adopted to remedy this condition, and also to consider such further means as may tend to improve and extend its benefits. The Senate of the University possesses statutory jurisdiction over most of the subjects which should now be dealt with, and the Government, as being directly responsible to the public, may properly invite the Senate to consider such proposals as the Government itself .has formed, with the object of placing the Senate in possession of the like information, now that it is called upon to exercise its statutory functions and authority, with the view of giving effect to such conclusions as may be in the best interests of the public in the College.
As to the important question which lies at the threshold of this inquiry — whether the College is to be maintained as a Provincial institution, or its endowment and property devoted to other educational objects — the undersigned, with full knowledge of all the circumstances, considers that the interests of higher education in this Province would be best promoted by the continued existence of the College, in such improved condition as may be reasonablv looked for from its endowment and mode of government by the Senate of the Provincial University, and that its usefulness as a "Grammar School" for the whole Province is as much required now as during its past existence of fifty years. Any diversion of its endowment to University or High School purposes would be no adequate compensation for the loss to our Province of an institution which, in its training, has followed the system pursued in the endowed schools of England and Scotland, and in the modern proprietary schools, such as Marlborough and Clifton. The true process of full educational development is one devoted to the improvement of the whole nature of the pupil, and the bringing out of his best characteristics. Amongst the necessary elements in such a process the value of association of numbers is always recognized, and the influences arising from this are much augmented when the pupils are surrounded through- out each day by the activities, pursuits and studies of their fellows, subjected to the wholesome control and . example of the true teacher. Its endowment can secure this valuable element in the case of the College, which is not supplied in the High Schools, where the larger number of pupils is under the teacher's influence only during the hours of instruction. While our High Schools are affording the benefits of secondary education almost as freely as elementary education throughout the Province, yet it is evident that a Provincial institution such as the College is required for the education of a large number of our Canadian youth, which is constantly increasing, and if this institution is removed, many of our youth will be forced to seek abroad that education which hitherto the College has in a fair measure supplied.
The College was founded and endowed for Provincial objects, and 4,000 pupils (nearly one-half being from the Province outside of Toronto), since the 1st July, 1S67, have taken advantage of its educational system. While the parents of pupils c uning from Toronto and its suburbs voluntarily tax themselves additionally for higher education by paying the large tuition fee of fifty dollars, the accommodation for pupils in residence from other parts of the Province has been inadequate, and the neglected condition and disrepair of the boarding-house, its furniture and surroundings, for some years past, would deter many parents from placing their sons there. The acco amodation in the College itself is everything that could be desired.
Having definitely arrived at the conclusion to recommend the maintenance of the College as an institution needed in the Provincial interests, it follows that further boarding-house accommodation should be supplied, and the mode and means for securing this are suggested in the Memorandum accompanying this Report
The educational objects to be served by Upper Canada College, through its public endowment, would appear to be to afford efficient instruction in Grammar School subjects, as higher than primary or elementary, and involving Latin and Greek classics,
370

mathematics, English and other subjects, keeping in view the training of all the pupils by such means, besides the preparation of a small average proportion for the University and learned professions.
It is manifest that to secure satisfactory progress in instruction in such subjects, that the process shiuld be one of gradation, proceeding step by step through the different forms ; and as Latin is begun upon entrance into the first form, there should be a proper foundation for this in the case of each pupil, who should be able to pass at entrance an examination in elementary subjects sufficient to test this. So also in respect of admission to the second and other forms up to the sixth.
The statement of the Resident Boarding-house Master shows that on the 25th of March, 1881, there were resident 83 pupils, 65 being from the Province, 12 from Toronto, and 6 from other places'; there being 4 in the sixth form, average age 17 years ; 8 in the fifth form, average age 17 years ; 16 in the fourth form, average ago 16 years ; 22 in the third form, average age 15 years ; 16 in the second form, average age 14 years ; 17 in the first form, average age 13 years.
The whole number of pupils at the same time in the College was 227, of whom 137 were residents of Toronto and its suburbs, and 90 outside. It is essential to a proper measure of success that the quality of the supply of pupils should be improved in the future, and that the sources of that supply should also be extended, so as gradually to increase the number from all parts of the Province, and thus fully establish its Prov- incial character.
The relative standing of pupils can be better secured by arranging the subjects of study in three divisions, namely, (1) Classical, (2) Mathematical, (3) English and Modern, so that progress in each division might be governed by the pupil's standing therein. The course should be flexible enough to permit of such options as would promote special study in one or more departments.
Yearly or other periodical examinations, as tests of promotion from each form, are equally essentia! as a proper standard of admission ; and in lieu of prizes it would be an encouragement if free tuition should be given to the four highest in the examinations for entrance to the first and several other forms respectively. The Examiners should be appointed by the Committee of the Senate, who should direct half-yearly inspection as well.
The staff for the work of instruction in the College, it is recommended, should in future be composed of the Principal and such masters as the Senate, upon their considera- tion and revision of the work in the several departments, might consider desirable, in order to promote increased efficiency in the subjects of Classics, Mathematics, English, French and German, as well as instruction in Drawing and Drill.
The salaries and other compensation of the Principal and masters are recommended to be as follows : —
Salary.
1. Principal $2,400 n \ Also one-fifth share of
2. First Classical Master 1,336 payment of $1.25 per

In case of any deficiency in any year of the income from the appropriation and other sources to meet the annual expenditures, then the same amou it should be deducted proportionately from the said respective salaries, but such deductions may be repaid, accordi ig to the conditions of the Order in Council of December 21, 1865.
Th - appointment of all musters and assistant masters is, under the Revised Statute, chapter 208, by the Lieutenant-Governor, during pleasure ; and in future it is desirable that any engagement of a new master or assista it master should only be provisional, and subject to one year's trial before being confirmed ; and in the case of an assistant master that it should be determinable by three months' notice on either side.
Instead of the sum of two dollars and fifty cents, in respect of each pupil in the College during each Term, being divided amongst the Principal and masters, under University Statute No. 39, the same shad in future be based upon the sum of $1 25 per pupil.
Th" tuition fees of all day pupils and of pupils in the boarding-house will remain as at present, but subject to eaidy consideration by the Senate.
Th ■ superintendence of the boarding-house should be entrusted, as at present, to the following masters of the College, viz. : —
1. Resident Master — The present Second Classical Master.
2. Assistant .Master — The Assistant Mathematical Master.
3. Assistant Resident Masters — The Assistant English Master, and the Second and Third Assistant English Masters.
4. A Lady Superintendent.
But the Committee of the Senate should always have power to require that other masters should give portions of time for this work also.
The Principal should continue to be responsible for the satisfactory conduct of the boarding-house, in its discipline and wholesome influence upon the pupils resident there, an 1 also for the efficient and economical carrying on of its domestic affairs through' the Steward and Matron. The Resident and Assistant Resident Masters, ns well as the Steward, Matron and the servants, should be under the direct an 1 pers m d control of the Principal.
For these duties the following annual sums and allowances are recommended to be paid, i auiely :
1. The Principal — Two dollars per pupil per annum in residence, subject to the conditions of University Statute No. 79, and in lieu of that, auth irizsd by such statute, and by the Order in Council of 13th October, 1873.
2. The Resident Master, the like at live dollars per pupil per annum.
3. The Assistant Master, two hundred dollars.
4. Each of the Assistant Reside it. .Masters, two hundred dollars.
5. The Lady Sup two hu idre five 1 illars; and th- following will also be entitled to rooms, fuel, light and board, viz., the Resident Musters, each of
istant Resident Masters, and the Lady Superintendent. All boardi g-hou dm dd be paid to the Bursar, and kept by him in a separate
accouut, aid he sh mid units for th" main I ' viug of
the b house, as certified to him by the Principal and Resident Master, as well as
the allowances for superiiv if M itron and Steward, and wages of
servants. Any excess of receipts over such expenditures should be applied by the Committee of the Senate towar y repairs, improvements or additio is to the
irniture ; and the residue, at tie-, en 1 of the year, should be payable to the credit of the General Income Fund of Upper Canada College.

The .' 11 iwing M smorandum ac his Report :
The Report proposes that the following important questions should now be dealt with, after the Senate has had full opportunity fur considering the same, with the view of securing tie- objects recommended in such Report, viz.: —
(1 i Boarding-house accommodation.
(2) Educational measures.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (Xo. 5). A. 1882
(3) Staff of Masters, duties, salaries and emoluments.
(4) Management of hoarding- house.
(5) Also the question of retirement of masters.
While the Report shows the objects to be accomplished are increased educational efli :ien :y an 1 ext ■ i 1 ■ 1 Provincial benefits, some additional information may also be given, in order to the better understanding of each question, viz. : —
(1) As to Boarding-house Accommodation.
Th^ present boarding-house can afford satisfactory accommodation for seventy five pupils, when certain necessary repairs and alterations have been effected, and the most easterly of the m tsters' residences is now arranged and fit for the reception of boarders to the number of thirty, as well as a resident master. The next residence to the west could be ma le available at smxll expense, when further boarding-house accommodation becomes necessary. Accommodation is now ready for 105 boarders, and it can be made fully satisfactory.
The estimate of the Architect of the Public Works Department, for repairs and alterations in the boarding-house, absolutely necessary now, shows a probable cost of $2,564, an 1 for repairs now desirable $330, or a total of $2,891, against which there is now at the credit of the boarding-house (as surplus) $2,900.
(2) As to Educational Measures.
Th" necessity of an entrance examination as a test of adequate knowledge as the foundation for beginning subjec >1 in i bion cannot now be gainsayed, and
it is especially a ipli lab] be College, as endowed for " Grammar," and not elementary
purposes. The as" shows that hitherto pupils entering the first form are
expecte 1 to know only the first four rules of arithmetic, and reading, spelling, and or subjects in the third class of the public schools. Any standard which the Cotnmi i ■ o :i iul 1 think proper for this object should be tested by regular
entrance ex mi i. ■ bj ixaminers appointed by lueh Committee, and the- College could then retain il i First F irm, and begin " •■ rra n a ir S :h i >] " instruction with such as passed this examination. The effect of such entrance examination would be to increase the quality of its pupils, and also their quantity.
(3) .(.- to the Staff of Afaslers, their Duties, Salaries and Emoluments.
The Report shows what is recommended in this re: peel By section 3 of the Revised
end their salaries and emoluments are, as directed from time
statutes of the S iroved by the Lieutenant-Governor, while the
h is by the Lieutenant-Governor, and during his pleasure. Much
h ■ i resulted from tiie misconception that the
The salaries proposed for the Principal and Regular Masters are the
same in amount as were establi iul l"' statute No. 27 of the Senate (February 26, 1857),
and "which continued in ''■ lite No. 60 was passed (October 5, 1860 iby
the reduc ■ ; me-sixth was made from each, but by statute No. 79 (April 26, 1866),
could be made up in each year when there, were suffi :ient funds to the credit of the Income Fund, after paying the other specified prior charges thereon. Residence (or an allowance in lieu) is also continued, according to Statute No. 27, which also provided that the Prin- cipal and .Masters should each receive an equal share of one-half of the whole tuition fees during each term, which was afterwards, by statu!" No. 30 (December 16, 1858), fixed at $2.50 per pupil in each term, instead, and is still in force. The actual results were, - il the Principal received for salary $2,000, and from fees $157.21
= $2,157.21 : and each of the Masters, for salary, $1,113.33, and from fees $137.-2] = $1,270.54. In 1SG5. the amount of fees to the Principal and each Master was$226 7 1. and an increase pro tanto in the total. In 1867 the Principal received for salary $2,400,
373
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
and each Master $1,336, being the full statutory amount, and which they have since continued to receive in full. The share of fees in 1S67 was §195.87. It increased to §250 and more in 1869, to nearly $300 in 1870, to §338 in 1S73, to §362 in 1874, and to §394 in 1875. It became §376 in 1S76, nearly the same in 1877, and in 1878 and 1S79 §357, and in 1880 §341. While in 1857, in the depressed condition of the College, the one- half share of the tuition fees was oSered as encouragement to the efforts of the masters, the great increase in the number of pupils could not have been anticipated, and the conse- quent iarge additions to their salaries. While some pecuniary interest in results might serve as a useful incentive to duty, the amount should only represent a moderate addi- tion to the regular salary, when reasonably adequate, and hence the undersigned recom- mends that this should in future be represented by one-half of the former allowance,
(4) As to the Management of the Boarding-House.
The Report specifies sufficiently the particulars, but as the proposed allowances to the Principal and Resident Master are considerably reduced, the grounds will be stated. By the sixth section of statute No. 27, the Bursar was directed to pay the Principal, at the end of each term, the sum of fifteen shillings (§3) for each pupil resident in the board- ing-house, and by statute No. 2S (February 26, 1857), the general superintendence and maintenance of discipline within the boarding-house was made the especial duty of the Principal, subject to the control of the Committee of the Senate on the Co. lege, and with such assistance from the masters as might be required by him, while the superin- tendence of the economic details of the boarding-house was entrusted, subject to the general control of the Principal, to an officer, who might be one of the masters, whose duties should, from time to time, be defined by the Committee, and his allowance settled by the Senate. He was to keep proper accounts and vouchers of all expenses, and his books were to be open to the Principal and Committee, and at the end of each term his accounts were to be submitted to the Committee and audited by them. By statute No. 57 (March 16, 1860), the share of the Principal for boarding-house pupils was made con- tingent on there being a surplus after paying all expenses of maintenance and superin- tendence ; and in the case of the Superintendent, his allowance, by resolution of the Senate, was only to be pavable to the extent of any surplus after paying all other expenses. By statute No. 60 (October 15, 1860), such share of the Principal's was repealed, and so continued till statute No. 75 was passed (June 25, 1865) which provided that at the end of each boarding-house year the Bursar should pay the Principal out of the clear surplus income of the boarding-house, on the order of the Committee of the Senate, a sum not exceeding fifteen shillings ($3) per term for every pupil resident therein during such term. By statute No. 79 (April 26, 1S66), statute No. 75 was repealed, and specific pro- visions made as to the order of payments from the Boarding-house Fund, and their pre- cedence, viz. : — First — Expenses of maintenance and repairs and improvements in the building. Second — The allowance to the Superintendent, by resolution of the Senate, of $3 per term for each pupil resident. Third — Any sum which the Committee of Senate might think advisable to reserve to meet repairs and improvements in the boarding-house, which, in their judgment, would be required. Fourth — The payment to the College Income Fund of the difference between the fees per term charged each pupil resident in the boarding-house for tuition and the amount charged pupils not so resident ; and, Lastly, the payment to the Principal of §3 per term for each pupil resident in the boarding- house.
The results from the foregoing statutes were as follows : — (1) The Principal received nothing till in 1866, when for six months the amount was §456 ; for 1867, §336 ; for 1869, $161 ; for 1870, §149 ; for 1872, §265 ; for 1873, §1,095.
(2) The Superintendent, who was also Second Classical Master, received in 1865, $532 ; for six months in 1866, §647 ; in 1867, §611 ; in 1868, §630 ; in 1869, §617 ; in 1870, §808 ; in 1871, §500; in 1872, §974 ; and in 1873, §895.
In the year 1873 (October 13), the Senate passed statute No. 98, amending statute No. 79, and thereby proposed that in lieu of the payment of §3 per term to the Principal

A. 1882
for each pupil resident in the boarding-house, under statute No. 79, the Bursar should pay the Principal, out of the College Income Fund, a sum equal to 10 per cent, of the total amount annually received from all tuition fees in the College, so far as there should be a surplus of the general income. This was approved by Order in Council on the 13 th of December, 1873, and since that year the Bursar has paid the Principal, out of the College Income Fund, this percentage in lieu of the former allowance of $3 per boarding- house resident pupil per term. These payments to the Principal were, in 1874, $797 : in 1875, $1,081 ; in 1876, $1,098 ; in 1877, $1,060 ; in 1878, $1,092 ; in 1879, $1,033 ; and in 1880, $99"). The Superintendent, during these same years, received, as the allow- ance authorized by statute No. 79, the following:— $1,152, $995, $1,299, $700, $1,055, $1,161, and $1,116. In the actual work of supervision there are also now employed the Assistant English Master and the two Assistant Resident Musters, at the yearly allow- ance each of $200, the two Resident Assistants also receiving board and lodging free of charge.
If the cost of superintendence of the boarding-house is taken from the Bursar's figures for the year 1879, it would represent the following payments, to the
(1) Principal $1,033 00
(2) Resident Master, or Superintendent of Boarding-house ... . 1,164 00 (b) Assistants and Lady Superintendent 855 00
,052 00
or more than $3,000 in money, and in the board and lodging of the Resident and Assists ant Masters, and of the Lady Superintendent, at least $2,000, or more than $5,000 for this particular duty. The Bursar's accounts for 1879 and 1880 show that the salaries and emoluments of the Principal and Resident Master or Boarding-house Superintendent, respectively, amounted to

The Principal's residence would represent an annual rental of $600, and is free of taxes. The Resident Master also receives free rooms, board, light, fuel and washing, equal to $1,000 per annum. The Principal and masters have also been repaid, by resolu- tions of the Senate, passed in the years 1875, 1876, 1877, and 1878, respectively, all deductions in their salaries which were made by statute No. 60, and under statute No. 79, and amounting to, the Principal, $2,500 ; the Resident Master, $1,100, and the other masters $1,400 each.
The proposed reduction in the share of College fees will amount to more than $1,100, and in the expense of boarding-house superintendence to $1,700. The circumstances of the College require that these funds should be available for meeting any gratuities to retiring masters, and to enable the Committee of the Senate to consider the best mode of lessening the expenses of board and tuition in the interest of pupils from the Province generally.

Besides these sums, the Principal is furnished with a residence of the yearly value of $600 at least; the Resident Master with free rooms, board, light, fuel, washing equal to §1 000 a year : and the Regular Masters with residences of the yearly value of $300, or an allowance of that amount.
When compared with the salaries of the Professors, Dean of Residence, Tutors and Lecturers in University College, and their respective qualifications and duties, th< Upper Canada College, with the proposed reductions, will still be receiving relatively higher remuneration.
It has been usual in the past, when the interests of the College at any time required a change in the case of any Principal or Master, to arrange for the payment of a gr or small annual allowance. The Bursar's statement shows that gratuities of one year's salary were paid in seven cases, and of two years in that of a Principal, while another agreed to retire on an annual pension of $1,0 10 id th i lire E iglish Master is now receiving $800 per annum. In the cises of two mist srs, now deceased, pension- of 8:>00
It is recommended that the present English Master should be req to retire on the first day of July next, when he should receive a gratuity equal to two years' salary.
It s further recommended that the requested to consider what (if
changes in the teaching staff are necessary for securing efficiency in the College, and to report upon the same for the information of his Honour the Lieutenant-G >vemor. Ust, 1881.
Before such Report and Memorandum of th ■ 31st May were approved of, I had p Leport for consideration by the Executive Council, which
and mi: and also a Memorandum I iy such
Report, for the better understanding of th
May. an 1 copies of Draft Report so m irked " Private ah i \1" were
to the Principal, and the First Class Boai ig-house Superinten I the Mathein itical Masters, with the view of elicit-
ing an> or suggestions befori tken ■■. i
ment. Hie Principal had written me, on the 6th of May, as follows : — " As I shall ■ visit Europe this summer, and have little or no J > of the
changes contemplated in Upper i . \ 1 should like much to cl larly
are. This session is rapidly drawing to a cl ise, and I shall shortly ' i the examinations and other work incidental to winding up the
scholastic year. You will therefore coufer a favour on me by acquainting me, at your convenience, with any change you deem necessary, that I may direct m. ingly. I do not wish in the least to annoy you, but time seems to slip by so fast." I )o I Principal wrote me officially as f Jlows : — " I beg to ackn i\s le Ige the
i evening of your printed report to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, but
which you state has riot yet I n formally put in the position of an Order in Council.
May I to di lay further action in the matter in th • meantim i, as 1 propose to

address you fully on this subject. The engrossing nature of my duties he->-e will prevent me doing so before Saturday, but it' possible 1 shall send you a communication before that day.'' On the 2"3rd May I received this further official letter: — " As I understood it was no 1 mger your intention to put in tlif> position of a formal Order in Council your Report of May 12, on Upper Canada College, to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, but that \ou desire to leave the University to deal with most, if not with all, the changes therein proposed, it- becomes unnecessary for me to trouble you with my views on the matter, and accordingly I shall not send you the suggestions 1 promised in my note to you of the 18th instant. Should I, however, hive been misinformed regarding your intentions, T shall, on hearing from you to that effect, lose no time in submitting my views to you.''
I had previously discussed with the Principal and the Superintendent of the board- ing-house certain educational changes and improved boarding-house accommodation. On the "2nd May the Superintendent wrote me stating that he did not wish any personal considerations of Ids own should be of any weight in my plans for the future of the College or the boarding-house, anil that he was prepared to act as I might think best in the interests of the institution in every respect, without mention of his claims for long service, and thai he had also communicated this to the Principal. The First Classical M ii r ga full written explanations as I > any i tinst him from results at
University matriculations, an 1 the M ithematical Master also explained difficulties which b.e all ged made him nominally resp msible for n mlts without having any control over conditions necessary for success. The question of the retirement of these masters was therefore deferred. The English Master admitted that from his advanced age it was to be expi ' that he should retire on the reorganization of the College staff! The Prin- cipal was not made aware of the Memorandum accompanying the Draft Report of the 12th May. Originally prepared for the information of the Executive Council, this Mi :n iran lum presents facts which an- essential to a correct knowledge of the grounds upon which the several recommendations in my Report of the 31st May were based. It is therefore set out verbatim, as follows: —
With reference to this Report, it is necessary to have regard to such powers as are ■ of the University, by the Act Revised Statutes, chap. 208, respecting th" i.i'ili j and business of the College, and the provisions of such statutes of the i ah i ider the authority of this Act, which, having been approved by the Lieu- tenant-Governor in Council, are now in force. This Act directs that there shall he in tic ' loll " a Principal and such masters, officers, and servants as may from time to time be directed by any such statute of the Senate, and the salary and emoluments attached to each such office shall be from time to time fixed by such statute. Such Pri in rs, and servants are directed to be appointed by the Lieutenant-Go erhor

respects, \ ./.. : —

No. 26, February 27, 1S57, appointing the Committee for the supervision of Upper Canada College.
No. 27, February 26, 1857, for regulating the tuition and board fees and annual salaries of the Principal and Masters, that of the Principal being £600 ($2,400), and of the Classical and Mathematical Masters at £334 ($1,336), and of the French an 1 First English Master £200 ($800), all receiving, in addition to his share of fees, a residence ; the Second English and Commercial Master £200 (§S00), with share of fees, but without residence. The Bursar was directed to divide one-half of the whole amount of tuition fees received during each term equally amongst the Principal and these masters ; also to pay the Principal the sum of 15*. (§3) for each pupil resident during the term in the College boarding-house.
No. 28, February 26, 1857, the duties of the Principal and masters were defined, and the general superintendence and maintenance of discipline within the College boarding- house was made the especial duty of the Principal, subject to the control of the Commit- tee, and with such assistance from the masters as might be required by the Principal. The economic details were entrusted, subject to the general control of the Principal, to an officer, who might be one of the masters, whose duties from time to time should be defined by th3 Committee, and should receive such an allowance as the Senate might determine upon. The Bursar was to pay the expenses of the College boarding-house out of the Income Fund upon the order of the Principal, and the Superintendent of the College boarding-house was to keep proper accounts and submit them at the end of each term for the Committee to audit.
No. 39, December 16, 1858, establishes the tuition fee at the rate of $8 per term; but the pupils in the boarding-house $5 per term. While instead of one-half of all the tuition fees being divisible amongst the masters, according to statute No. 27, the sum of $2.50 for each pupil is in future to be so divided.
No. 57, March 16, 1860, recites that the boarding-house should be self-sustaining, and not a charge upon the General Fund ; it was therefore provided that the share of boarding-house fees, under statute No. 27 payable to the Principal, should only be so paid to him to the extent of any surplus which there might be after paying all the expenses of maintenance and superintendence ; also, that if the boarding-house should not produce enough in any year to cover the expense of maintenance and superintendence, then such of the fees which, by any resolution of the Senate, was payable to the Super- intendent, should only be paid to him to the extent of any surplus after paying all other expenses. The year for this purpose should be from June 30 to June 30.
No. 60, October 5, 1860, provides that tuition fees of pupils not boarders shall be $10 per term; those for boarders remaining at $5 per term. It repeals so much of statute No. 27 under which the sum of 15*. ($3) was payable to the Principal for each pupil resident during each term in the boarding house. It also reduces, absolutely by one-sixth, the salaries of the Principal and of all the regular masters, power being granted to the Senate by resolution to grant a gratuity to masters whose salaries are so reduced, if in any year the income of the College would permit, such gratuities being proportion- able to the reductions.
No. 75, June 25, 1865, the Bursar is directed to pay to the Principal, out of the surplus income of boarding-house, on the order of the Upper Canada College Committee, a sum not exceeding 15s. ($3) per term for every pupil residing during such term in the boarding-house. The surplus income out of which such payments were to be made is declared to be the net income of the year after all expenses properly chargeable to such year have been ascertained and defrayed.
No. 79, April 26, 1866, repeals statute No. 75, and directs the Bursar to keep a separate account of the receipts and expenditure of the boarding-house in each year, which account was to have at its credit the boarding-house dues and other receipts appli- cable, and to be charged with the payments in the following order : — (1) Ordinary ex- penses of maintenance, including also repairs and improvements in the building ; (2) allowance to the Superintendent, by resolution of the Senate, of $3 per term for each pupil resident in the boarding-house ; (3) any sum which the Committee of the College might think it advisable to reserve to meet repairs or improvements in the boarding-house

which in their opinion would be required ; (4) any payment to the College Income appro- priation of $5 per term for each pupil resident in the boarding-house, so as to make up to that fund the difference in fees payable by all other College pupils ; and if at any time no balance of salary was due to any Master from the suspense account ordered to be kept by an Order in Council of December 21, 1865, and there should be sufficient at the credit of the Income Fund to pay the masters their full salaries for the year at the rate estab- lished before the reduction in 1860, then no such payment need be made for that year from the boarding-house, or only so much as shall enable the Income Fund to pay the above charges. (5) Lastly, the payment to the Principal of $3 per term for each pupil resident in the boarding-house.
The several payments numbered 2, 3, 4, and 5 were only to be paid or reserved to the extent that there might be a balance in the year's accounts available to meet them, and no part of any such charge remaining unpaid should be considered as a debt charge- able against the income of the following year.
The statute also provides that the Upper Canada College income appropriation should have at its credit the appropriation from the Income Fund, all miscellaneous receipts, tuition fees, and the proportion of fees payable from the boarding-house, and that it should be subject to the following charges in this order of precedence: — (1) All salaries of masters at the reduced amount by Statute No. 60, October 5, 1860, and the ordinary expenses of maintenance and repairs, as provided by the Order in Council of December 21, 1865 ; (2) the repayment of any deductions from such amount of salaries as was required to be made by the Order in Council of December 21, 1865, in case that the ordinary expenditure in any year should not exceed the available income ; but such deductions should not be absolute, and should be carried to the credit of the several masters in the suspense account, and should be repayable pro rata out of any surplus of available income in succeeding years, but any deductions remaining unpaid for five years should not be taken into account ; (3) such sums as the Committee on Upper Caiiada College might think it advisable to reserve to meet repairs and improvements; (4) an apportionment amongst the masters to make up their salaries to an amount equal to what they were before the reduction by statute No. 60, and it was provided that the charges numbered 2, 3, and 4 should only be paid or reserved to the extent that there was a balance in the year's account available to meet them, and no part of such charge remain- ing unpaid should be considered a debt chargeable against the income of the following year, and any balance after these charges had been paid in full should be carried to the credit of the next following year.
On October 13, 1873, the Senate submitted, for the approval of the Lieutenant- Governor, statute No. 98, amending statute No. 79. This proposed to enact that in lieu of the annual payment to the Principal of $3 per term for each pupil resident in the boarding-house, as provided by statute 79, the Bursar should pay to the Principal, out of the Upper Canada College Income Fund, a sum equal to 10 percent, of the tuition fees annually received, provided that there should l>e a surplus of general income beyond the then income appropriation of $14,000, sufficient to meet such payment, and if not, then only so far as such Income Fund should extend, and that any deduction made in any year shall not be absolute, but repayable out of any surplus of available income in suc- ceeding years within five.
The statement therewith showed the annual average of tuition fees from 1 867 to 1873 to have been $6,874 per annum, 10 per cent, upon which would equal $687. Another statement showed the boarding-house surplus, during the same period, to have been $5,066, of which the Principal had received $2,007.30, or about $300 per annum. Also that the overdraft on Income Fund account had been reduced during the period from $1 9,465 to $7,126. An Order in Council was passed in reference to this Statute on the 13th December, 1873, and the Bursar was thereby authorized to pay to the Principal out of the Upper Canada College Income Fund a sum equal to 10 per cent, of the tuition fees annually received, provided there was a surplus of the annual General Income Fund sufficient to meet such payment, and if not, then only so far as such annual surplus should extend, and in other respects corresponding to statute; No. 98.

S atemfents furnished by the Bursar show the operation and ellect of the foregoing upon the salary of the Principal and of the Resident Master of the boarding? house, >' I Classical Master, beginning from the year 1861 to 1880 inclu-
-ii i, the Principal having been appointed in I860, and Mr. Martian. 1 in 1862. From 1861 to 1865 the Principal received the salary, $2,000, with about .$200 per annum gratuity from the surplus yearly income.
After statute No. 79 came into effect, the Bursar's statement shows the receipts of the Principal for salary, share of tuition fees, share of board dues, and after the Order incil of 1S73, Hi per cent, of tuition fees ; the total amount paid him in each year from 30th .June, 1867, to 30th June, 1880 ; also in the years 1875-6-7 and 1878 r pay- ments, authorized by resolution of the Senate for deductions in former years. Tin- salary of toe Secon 1 Classical and Resident Boarding-h mse Master, during the several years for the period beginning with June 30. 1864, to June 30, 1880, are also sho>vn.
In the eases of the other master.-, from 1867 to 1880 inclusive, they received their aries as established before the reductions by statute No. 60, as well as their equal of tuition fees, as well as payments, by resolution of the Sen at i r deduc-
tions. It will be seen that while the proportion of College fees received by the Principal in the veur 1867 was $183, and in respect of boarding house pupils $ I . .32, in
I v 7 7 it was $375 mi ege fees, and .51,060 in respect of boarding house, or 10
p ■ ce it. of tuition I 15 (an increase over 1 867 of $915.68) : while in 1879 the
amounts were $357 plus $1,0:13 =$1,390 ; and in 1880, $341 plus $995 = 81,336. And so with the Boarding house Master in 1867 — share of College fees. $195 ; boarding-house pupils, $611 $806. In 1877, $375 and $700 = $1,075. In 1879, $357 plus $1,164 = £1,521 ; and in 1880, $341 plus $1,116 =$1,457, an increase over 1867 of
The policy of statute No. 27, passed February 26, 1857, when the Principal and I rs, for the first time, became entitled to a share of fees in addition to salaries and residences, was for the purpose of encouraging their personal interest in the College at a time when there were annual deficits, and which led to the on a in the
salaries in I860, and also in the stall" of masters ; but after statute No. 79, April 26, L866, the finances steadily improved, as the number of pupils increas d, tli to number in 1878 hemg 293 ; in 1879, 298 ; and in 1880, 282 ; but on the 21st M irch, 1S81, 227. The foil iwing gratuities have been paid Principal or masters on I i euient,
namely: Rev. George Maynard, one year's salary, .$1,336; Mons. E. L. Si. Remy, one year's salary, $800 ; Mr. C. M. Evans, one yen's salary, $1,336 : Mr. J. I) id i. i le year's salary, $800; Rev. Prin. W. Stennfitt, two years' salary, $1,800; Rev. Dr. Scadding, .$2,400; Dr. Connon, $1,400; Rev. E. Schulter, $1,250. The following annual pensions w re the result of special arrangement : F. W. Barron, $1,000 ; J. P. De la Haye, $600 ; Rev. Mr. Maynard, $300 ; Dr.- Barrett, $800.
By section 13 of Revised Statutes, chap. 209, respecting University College, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council is authorized to appropriate from the General Income Fund such sum as may be necessary for providing retiring allowances or gral uities to aged and infirm professors and other officers up >u retirement, but this does not apply expressly i isters in the College. By the Public Service Act of Ontario, 41 Vic, chap 2, it is pi ivided that when the services of any officer in the departmental staff are dispensed « n h, such gratuities may be allowed him as directed by Order ill Council, hut not exceed- ing one month's pay for each year of service. The undersigned, in his Draft Report of the 1 2th May, h is submitted the several rec mimend ttions therein contained, aft-r having fully red the foregoing, and the special circumstances which surround Upper Canada College, and which have given occasion to discussions in the public press as well as i the two last sessions of the Ontario Legislature, and in which the very existence of the has been questioned, upon the ground of its decreasing usefulness, and as affording us jes chiefly to residents ol L'oront >, and at an unduly largo cost for secondary

education, as compared with the Collegiate Institutes and High Schools supplying similar instruction at much less expense to the public and to the parents of pupils. The respon- sibility with which the Government is now therefore cha-ged, is to see that the requisite measures are a 1 > ited for improving th i e B :i m sy of the College, educationally and other- wise, and to gradually increase the number of pupils from all parts of the Province, and thereby secure its Provincial chara iter. With the view of discharging this responsibility, so far as the present circumstances will permit, the undersigned, after having become possessed of full information upon all the subjects involved, has embodied them in his Draft Report, which he ivsp.-ctfully sub nits for the approval of His Honour the Lieutenant- Governor in Council, and for such action by the Senate of the University of Toronto, under the statutory powers conferred upon it, as hereinafter mentioned, as may be neces- sary for giving full effect to the s veral recommendatious by Order in Council and statute of the Senate of the Universil \ , . ly, having reg ird to the following subjects : —
(1) As to boarding-house iccommoda i, that a statute of the Senate be now p issed for
authorizing the necessary repairs and alterations in the present boarding-house, amounting, according to the report of the Arcliitecl of the Public Works Department, to the sum of $2,894, and applying the funds now at the credit of the boarding-house account, under statute No. 79, for the purpose ; and also to set apart the most easterly of the masters' residences, now ready, for the reception of boarders. (2) As to educational measures, to frame regulations for entrance examinations, as well as to regulate the subjects and stand ir Is in all the forms of th s Coll sg \ so as to t ike effect after the 1st January next, and by arrang ng the course an 1 s ibj - 3 of study as will best effect the training of all pupils in Grammar School subjects, namely, Latin and Greek, ('lassies, Mathematics, English and other subjects, for th sir d fferent careers in life, as well as for tha University and learned professions ; also the n sces^ary si iff for the work of instruction, consisting of Principal and masters, at the salaries mentioned in paragraph 3 of the Report of the uud irsigned, to begin after the 1st July next. (3) For the management of the boarding- house by the m sans and according to the mode, and for the emoluments specified in my said Report.
That an Order in Council should authorize the payment of the gratuities recommended to \Ir. W sd 1, Mr. Brown, an 1 Mr. Cho aps in, payable to them outof the General income Pun 1 on their retirement on the 1st July n txt, and such payments to be repaid out of the auuu il surpl is revenue, with interest at 5 per cent.
The proposals recommended and the facts stated in my Draft Report of the 12th May and its accompanying Memorandum, and the Report and Memorandum of the 31st May, are substantially the same except as to the retirement of the First Classical and Mathematical Misters, and dealt with the same subjects, namely : —
(1) Boarding-house Accommodation.
(2) Educational Measures.
(3) Staff of Masters — Duties, Salaries and Emoluments.
(4) Management of the Hoarding-house.
(5) Retirement of Masters.
The grounds r,n which my recommendations under each head are supported are fully stated in both Reports and Memoranda, and from them it can be readily seen that my proposals were not only warranted but dem in led by the then circumstances of the College, as these further facts abundantly show : —
(1) As to Boarding '* ruse Accommodation.
Iu the Session of 18S0 the Legislative Assembly was asked to ratify the Order in Coun ;il whic 1 ipproved of the Report of the Senate Co n nittee, that the sum of $30,000 should b- authorized t) be expended out of the College funis for improvements which the C >m uitt :e • i.isi I sred were urgently require 1, and that it was of the highest importance that effect sh mid at once be given to their rec >ram ■nlition.
The objections of several members of th# Legislative Assembly were sufficient to post- pone this m )tion, and also to obtain from me the assurance that during the recess th it this ttnd all other questions affecting the well-being of the College would be enquired into and
361
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
ropoi-ted to the House at its next session. I thereupon obtained from the Principal the plans of the proposed boarding-house improvements, prepared by Mr. Storm, Architect of the Committee, and also the plans by Mr. Strickland, of the boarding-house as it was. On my personal inspection of its condition it was evident that nothing so ambitious or expensive, as proposed by the Committee, was either necessary or desirable. With the Assistant-Architect of the Public Works Department, I found that the boarding-house could be made in every way suitable at the moderate expense of §2,89 i, for which there was a surplus at the credit of the boarding-house fund, thus requiring no expenditure on capital account, nor sinking so large a sum as §30,000 in unnecessary erections. I had nothing to do, either officially or otherwise, with the actual execution of these works, but on their completion in time for the opening of the College after the long vacation, I saw that the results were entirely satisfactory.
(2) Educational Measures. Ever since the inquiry before the Committee of the Legislative Assembly in 1869, no one doubted the desirableness of the change recommended by me of a satisfactory educational test for pupils entering the College. It was therefore one of the measures proposed in my Report before the Legislative Assembly, that pupils should only be admitted on an examination in elementary English subjects, equal at least to the High School entrance. Such standard was, however, open to some doubt as applicable to the College, and having subsequently ascertained the average ages and attainments of boys enterin" the lower forms, my final conclusion was that the first form should be retained, and that the entrance examination need only be such as would warrant a pupil's admission thereto. In my Report of the 31st May, I showed that the effect of such entrance examination would be to increase the qualiLy of the pupils, as also their quantity, and the tendencies theretofore, were to promote quantity rather than quality. I also recom- mended that the subjects of study should be arranged in the three divisions of Classical, Mathematical and English, with Modern Languages, and the progress of the pupils in the school regulated accordingly ; also yearly promotion examinations, and that the Examiners should be appointed by the Committee of the Senate, who should direct half-yoarly inspections to be made as well. While in my Report before the Legislature I had recom- mended inspection by the Education Department,- the best conclusion I was able to form in that of the 31st May was, that there were advantages in the existing government of the College by the Senate of the University, more especially in view of that further sphere of Provincial usefulness which Dr. Ryerson, in his evidence before the Legislative Committee, in 1869, regretted it hid nut assumed, as the Model Grammar School of the Province, under the control of the University Senate.
(3) As to the Staff of Masters : their Duties, Salaries and Emoluments. My Report expressly invites the Senate to consider and revise the work in the several departments as it might think desirable, in order to promote increased efficiency in the subjects of Classics, Mathematics, English, French and German, as well as instruction in Drawing and Drill. I found the course of study in force unequally arranged in several particulars, and especially deficient in Physical Science and in Drawing and Drill. The duties of the Principals and masters were also disproportionate, and required re-adjustment. The appointment of the masters is, under the Provincial Statute, by the Lieutenant- Governor during pleasure, and they are therefore removable at any time, when the interests of the College require this. Any recomm snd ition of the Senate, in this or other respects, is entitled to the fullest consideration. While the Senate has authority for passing statutes to regulate the salaries and duties of the Principal and masters, under Section 46 of the University Act, no such statute can have any legal effect until approved by the Lieutenant-Governor, and the Executive is directly responsible for the continuance of any salaries which appear unreasonable or burdensome upon the resources of the College, and 1 did not propose any change in the amounts, which, under the University statutes, from 1857 to 18S0, had been considered the normal amounts, viz., to the Principal $2,400, and for each of tin: regular masters $1,336, with residence, or allowance therefor, besides. My memoranda of the 12th and 31st May both show that at the time of Principal

Coekburn's appointment, in 1861, these salaries had been absolutely reduced by one-sixth, and that, he then entered upon his office at the salary of $2,000, and this continued until the 1st July, 1866, when statute No. 79 came into effect, with this provision, that in case of a surplus of College Income Fund in any year available after three previous charges had been paid in full, the salaries of the masters could be made up out of such annual surplus, if any, to the original amount of the salaries as established in 1857, but reduced in 1860. In this event only could these salaries become equal to their amounts as before 1860. However, under the actual operation of these statutes and the action of the Senate, the results shown by the Bursar's accounts made it the duty of the Government and Senate alike to protect the College in future from the large emoluments and allowances which had exceeded any reasonable limit of remuneration, quite beyond the anticipations or knowledge of the Senate.
My recommendation as to reduction in salaries is therefore justified when the following summary, from the Bursar's accounts of payments to the Principal and the Superintendent of the Boarding-house, is examined.

The amounts referred to as payments, viz., $2,517 to the Principal and §1,011 to the Superintendent, as Second Classical Master, are open to grave doubts as to the legality of the resolutions of the Senate under which the payments were made, for on the passing of statute No. 79 the provision in statute No. 60, which alone gave any colour for this, was, as well as every part of it, repealed, and specific appropriations of the College annual inoome, including any surplus, were definitely provided instead, and excluded any appli- cation of College funds for any such gratuities as statute No. 60 had, while in force, permitted.
The cost of superintendence of the boarding-house for the year 1879 has also been shown to have been —
(1) Principal $1,033 00
(2) Resident Master, or Superintendent of boarding-house. 1,164 00
(3) Assistants and Lady Superintendent 855 00
$3,052 00
in money, besides at least $2,000 in the board and lodging of the Resident and Assistant Masters and Lady Superintendent, or more than $5,000 for this particular duty, or a charge of nearly 35 per cent, on the amount of board dues received in that year — $17,- 459.50. It is also to be noticed that the personal demands upon the time of the Principal and Superintendent for supervision were much diminished when two Assistant Resident Masters were employed.
The total expenditure of the College, in rebuilding the Principal's residence after its destruction by tire in 1871, on an enlarged plan, was $17,799, which would represent a rental of $1,000 at least. The Resident Master also received free rooms, board, light, fuel and washing — equal to $1,000 per annum.
The actual emoluments and allowances thus annually received were largely dispro- portionate in comparison to the salaries of Professors in University College, who, in 1879, received $2,800, but without residence or other allowances. The educational efficiency of the College could therefore have been secured at much less expense, as the engagement of the new Principal, at the salary of $2,600 with residence, but no other allowances, has shown. When my financial proposals are given effect to, there will be at least an annual surplus of $4,000 available for such educational objects as the further needs of our Provincial system may require.
The Senate of the University, since its receipt of my Report and Memorandum of the 31st May, from the Provincial Secretary, has had the questions contained therein under consideration, and on the 15th September last approved of the recommendation of the Senate Committee for the retirement of the Principal from his office, whom they found was desirous of retiring by reason of impaired health. The resolution of the Senate to that effect was approved of by your Honour in Council on the 30th September last. The material circumstances are set forth in my Report, which was approved by such Order in Council, and are stated as follows : —
1. The Report of the undersigned to your Honour on this subject, dated 31st May, 1 88 1 , and the Memorandum accompanying the same, were referred to the Senate of the University, who were invited to consider the proposals contained in such Report, in order to give effect to such conclusions as would promote the public interests in the College.
2. The Committee of the Senate, in the course of their inquiries, found that the Principal was desirous of retiring from that office by reason of impaired health, and the Committee considered their efforts would be assisted if the retirement of the Principal was approved of by the Government and a successor obtained who would possess the requisite qualifications as well as experience of the course of education in this Province.
3. The Government has considered that such retirement was in the interest of the I lollege, and that it was a proper case in whicha gratuity should be paid to the Principal, but limited to the amount represented by the annual salary of $2,400 and $400, value of residence, ami calculated at one month tor each year of service for 20 years.
4. The Committee also examined into the claim of the Principal for expendi- ture by him upon the Principal's residence, in respect of essentia] improvements thereon;
384
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
and after due, examination by William <J. Storm, Architect, ax to their value, the Com- mittee found that the sum so expended amounted to §1,450, and that the residence had been thereby enhanced in value to that extent, and that such improvements are now worth that amount to the College, and would cost a lai'ger sum if they were now to be made.
5. The Committee, on the 14th September, 1881, reported the foregoing to the Senate of the University, which, at its meeting on the loth September, adopted such lie- port, and also the recommendation of the Committee that the Principal's retirement should take effect at the end of the current month of September, and that he should be paid his proportionate salary up to tint time from the 30th of June last, when the College year expired, based upon the sum of $3,629.61, as the salary received by him for such year, any payments on account being deducted.
The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that your Honour in Council may be pleased to approve of the same, and that the respective amounts of the said gratuitv and improvements be paid out of the General Income Fund of Upper Canada College.
16th September, 1881.
The following is the acknowledgment given by the Principal to the Bursar of the payments of the gratuitv and improvements, pursuant to this Order in Council :
" 1, George R. R. Cockburn, having resigned my position as Principal of the Upper Canada College, hereby accept from J. E. Berkeley Smith, Bursar of the University, countersigned by the Treasurer of the Government of the Province of Ontario, the sum of four Thousand six hundred and sixty-six -fife Dollars, being a gratuity to me by order of the Council of the Province of Ontario, dated 30th Sept., 1881, on my retiring as Princi- pal, after twenty years' service.
"Also the sum of Fourteen hundred and fifty dollars, as compensation for certain im- provements and repairs made by myself on the house which I occupied connected with the College.
" On receiving the above respective amounts, I shall deliver up possession of the said house to J. E. Berkeley Smith, Bursar.
" And on payment of the above sums of money, I hereby release for ever, all further claims against the Provincial Government of Ontario, or the Bursar of the University.

This was followed by the selection and appointment of the new Prineijjal, John Miine Buchan, Master of Arts, and lately one of the High School Inspectors. The cir- cumstances attending this appear in my Report, also approved by your Honour in Council of the 30th of September last, as follows :
1. The undersigned has had under consideration the selection of a successor to George R. R. Cockburn, on his retirement from the office of Principal of Upper Canada College, which it is proposed shall take efiect on the 30th instant.
2. In the present circumstances of the College it is desirable that the new Principal should possess all the qualifications which the duties of this position demand, as well as that practical experience in the work of secondary education in thisProvince which would enable him to assist the efforts of the Senate of the Provincial University in promoting the well- being of the College. Guided by these views, the undersigned considers that John Milne Buchan, one of the High School Inspectors of this Department, possesses the requisite
383
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
qualifications, and that his probable success as Principal may be assured from his past career as a Teacher. His record is as follows : — in 1865 he obtained the degree of Master of Arts in the University of Toronto, having in 1862 become a Bachelor of Arts, taking at the examination therefor the Silver Medal in the department of Modern Languages. He taught in Upper Canada College for ashort period in 1862, and then be- came Head Master of the Grammar School at Hamilton, and when it became a Collegiate Institute in 1871, its Principal. In 1873 he was appointed by the late Council of Public Instruction, one of the High School Inspectors, in the place of the late Rev. J. G. Mac- kenzie. When Mr. Buchan became Head Master of the Grammar School in 1863, the number of pupils was about 30, and at his leaving, in 1873, the number in the Collegiate Institute exceeded 200. In the eight years in which he has been a member of the Central Committee of Examiners of this Department, and also High School Inspector, he has discharged these important duties with much satisfaction to all engaged in educational work, including the undersigned as Minister.
The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that John Milne Buchan be ap- pointed Principal of Upper Canada College, in place of George R. R. Cockburn, on his re- tirement, and that he receive an annual salary of $2,600 with residence, but no other allowance.
Inasmuch as Mr Buchan has, at the request of the Government, consented to vacate his office of High School Inspector, and to accept that of Principal, with the view of pro- moting the well-being of the College and the public interests therein, it is proper that, in justice to Mr. Buchan, he should be assured of his right to obtain an equally good posi- tion as that of High School Inspector in case he should cease, from no fault of his own, to hold such office of Principal.
The undersigned therefore respectfully recommends that the foregoing be approved by your Honour in Council.
16th September, 1881.
Since his appointment the new Principal has been engaged in discharging the duties of such office, and at the same time has had the opportunity of informing himself upon the educational questions contained in my Report and Memorandum of the 31st of May last, and the Senate is now placed in a position to give effect to such improvements as are urgently required, to secure the further usefulness of the College and Provincial benefits, as I have set forth and recommended in my Report and Memorandum of the 31st of May, and supported upon the several further grounds stated herein. In this matter of the College, as well as in others, my course is consistent with the principle laid down by Wilhelm Von Humboldt: — "The thing is not to let schools and Universities go on in a drowsy and impotent routine ; the thing is to raise the culture of the nation ever higher and higher by their means."
The Senate has now before it for consideration the following Report from the Com- mittee on Upper Canada College, presented at its meeting of the 20th January instant.
The Committee on Upper Canada College begs to report as follows upon the Memo- randum dated the 31st May, 1881, of the Minister of Education : —
1. In regard to the Boarding-House, the repairs and alterations recommended in the Memorandum have been made, at a cost of $2,981.71, which sum has been paid out of the surplus to the credit of the boarding-house account.
The changes referred to have added greatly to the comfort and convenience of the resident pupils. The boarding-house proper now accommodates seventy-eight, and the supplementary boarding-house, which consists of one flat of the two easternmost masters' residences, eighteen pupils. It is recommended that, with a view to the possible increase in the number of boarders, it be understood that all the masters' residences, except the Principal's, may either wholh or in part be at any time turned into supplementary board- ing-houses, and that the masters from time to time in possession have the right to occupy them until required for such purpose. By utilizing in this way one flat only in each of the remaining masters' residences, the number of boarders that could be accommodated would be increased from ninety-six to one hundred and thirty-two.

2. Educational measures. The Committee concurs with the view expressed by the Minister of Education in said Memorandum, in thinking it desirable to give greater flexi- bility to the course of instruction. Two modes of accomplishing this have suggested themselves.
The subjects of study might be arranged in two groups, and the pupils promoted in each group without necessary reference to their proficiency in the other, or two separate courses might be instituted, namely, a literary course with Latin for its leading subject, and a scientific course in which promotion would depend mainly upon mathematics. The Committee, however, is not prepared to expressly recommend either course without first giving the question farther consideration.
For reasons similar to those which suggest the wisdom of increasing the flexibility of the course of study, the Committee is not at present inclined to regard with favour the proposal to raise the standard of the entrance examination, or to take the promotion of pupils out of the hands of the masters. Such changes would, in the opinion of the Com- mittee, lead to an undesirable rigidity in the management of the College, and whilst probably increasing the efficiency for cramming pupils for University and other examina- tions, would lessen its value as a place for the formation of character. At the same time, the Committee recognizes the advisability of there being an entrance examination under the direction of the Principal.
3. Staff'. The Committee recommends that the permanent staff consist of a Fh-st and Second Classical, a First and Second Mathematical, a First and Second English, ami a French and German Master ; either the First Classical, the First Mathematical, or the First English Master being Principal, at a salary, as at present fixed by Order in Council, of $2,600 a year with residence. The remaining masters of the first grade to be paid each at the rate of §1,6.30 per annum, the masters of the second grade to be paid each at the rate of $1,200 per annum. The French and German Master not to be considered as of either class, and to be paid at the rate of $1,350 per annum. If it should at any time be difficult to secure the services of one man capable of properly teaching both languages, it would then be necessary to engage separate masters at such reasonable salaries as might then be arranged.
It is further recommended that the principle of paying the masters in part from a share in the fees be abandoned, and that they receive hereafter the above-mentioned fixed sums, in lieu of the fixed and variable sums heretofore paid them.
It is also recommended that the present Second Classical Master, in consideration of his valuable services as Classical Master, and also of the fact that he is now enjoying the same salary as that received by the First Classical Master, be regarded as entitled to a salary at the rate of that alloted to masters of the first grade. It is further recommended that the present Superintendent of the boarding-house, and any successor, be relieved from class and room duty at 12.30 p.m. each day, and that in consequence of such reduc- tion in his duties as master, his salary as master be $1,300, so long as he shall fill the office of Superintendent of the boarding-house.
Such partial relief from duty will enable the Superintendent to devote more attention to the management of the boarding-house, and at the same time afford to him that daily relaxation from duty which, in the opinion of the Committee, is necessary in the case of a master whose duties require his constant personal supervision over the boarders whilst in residence.
The present staff of assistant masters amounts to four. The charges for their services cannot be reduced below the present amount thereof, viz., $3,158.
4. Boarding- House management. The Committee is of opinion that the boarding- house should continue to be managed as heretofore by a resident master, and the necessary number of assistants under the supervision of the Principal, with power to the Committee to make all necessary arrangements with regard to the supplementary boarding-houses, the emoluments of the masters hereof, and their relations to the Superintendent.
It is further recommended that the Superintendent of the boarding-house be always one of the masters of the College, and who shall reside in the boarding-house, and be paid for his services as such Superintendent in the same manner and on the same
387
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
principle as at present in force, except that he shall not receive as such Superintendent in any one year a Larger sum than 81,000. It is suggested that the charges involved in the foregoing recommendations shall take effect on the 1st July next, excepi as to amount of the Principal's salary, which shall be §2,600 from the date of his appointment.
Respectfully submitted.

;.'. Further recommendations towards extending its Provincial usefulness.
While the recommendations already made by me are absolutely necessary for secur- ing improved educational efficiency and extended usefulness for the College, with the eco- nomical and satisfactory management of its finances, my duty to the public cannot well cease here or with such action as the Senate may undertake.
The endowment and property of the College are so large that it becomes an important question for consideration how its resources can be made still more beneficial by their application, to further promote the interests of higher education, in enlarging its sphere by becoming the Model High School of the Province, and supplying those facilities for the professional instruction of High School Teachers, including candidates for First- class Public School Teachers' Certificates, in the best methods of teaching higher subjects, and in the scientfic principles on which the value of education as a practical art so much depends.
The retirement of Mr. Coekburn from the office of Principal lias not only suggested, but affords the opportunity of considering whether the purposes of Dr. Ryerson, when Chief Superintendent of Education, in establishing a Model Grammar School, and which have hitherto remained unfulfilled, cannot with beneficial results to every part of our system now take effect. Information as to the objects of the Model Grammar School is contained in his Report for the year 1858 ; and in that of 1S59 he states that " the Model Grammar School is intended to accomplish the same objects in regard to the Grammar School instruction of the country as the Normal and Model Schools are intended to accomplish in regard to Common School instruction — to improve the organization, dis- cipline, and teaching of the schools, by presenting proper models and by training masters for their important and noble wcrk." Up to that time he states that " as yet no Normal Class had been established in the Model Grammar School." We are, moreover, put in possession of full information of Dr. Ryerson's views on his examination before the Education Committee of the Legislative Assembly, in January, 1869, when he stated that the Model Grammar School was dropped on account of its expense, and with the view of Upper Canada College in 1861 becoming such Model School in its place, having the special advantage of its then newly appointed Principal, Mr. Coekburn, who was se- lected by him in Edinburgh as the first Rector of the Model Grammar School. His pro- posed arrangements by which the College would become the Model Grammar School of the Province involved the further proposal of a Minister of Public Instruction : and in explanation to a question, he stated as follows : — " I say that if Upper Canada College wcri' made part of the school system, and were placed under the control of a responsible person appointed by public authority (a Minister of Education), that it would be one wheel in the general machinery of the system." He expressed his disappointment that these arrangements were defeated and the old system continued. In recommending that Upper Canada College should become th i Model Grammar School, Dr. Ryerson explained that it was for the purpose of fulfilling similar objects intended by the Model Grammar School. He proposed to render it a means of assistance in every way for training the Grammar School Teachers of the country ; and he stated. " if that had been carried out, and we had been able to afford this assistance, the Grammar Schools would have been greatly improved. That system is being adopted in Germany and in France." " I pro- posed to make it (the College) the training-school for the country, and that the annual sum of one thousand (£1,003) pounds should bo continue! to it for such purpose, and
383
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
that Upper Canada College should be the College or Normal training-school for the other Grammar Schools of the country," and "should be under the Senate of the University instead of being under the Council of Public Instruction."
The correctness of these views of Dr. Ryerson's has been fully established by the improved efficiency given to all Teachers in the Public Schools who have had the benefit of professional or Normal training ; and much of the improvement in our Public Schools has chiefly arisen from the increased facilities for, and larger amount of, such profes- sional instruction.
While much improvement has also taken place in secondary education in our High Schools, the qualifications of the masters therein have not hitherto required experience or knowledge of a professional nature of the best methods of teaching the several subjects of study in the High School course ; and the success which is now attending the more intelli- gent elementary teaching would soon be exemplified in higher education, if similar means were adopted for higher professional training. Moreover, the art of teaching can be made more successful and beneficial as the science of education itself makes progress, and that progress will be real the more knowledge it may draw from other sciences which have relation to the moral, mental, and physical condition of the human being. The only sound basis for its methods of instruction and modes of management and discipline, and also for " bringing out " the best qualities of each pupil, is, that fully informed by scien- tific enquiry. Therefore, in the professional training of teachers for secondary instruc- tion, not only should the opportunity be afforded for professional instruction in the best and most advanced methods of secondary instruction, but for such teachers-in-training acquiring higher scientific knowledge of the principles of education. The value and need of professional training for teachers of every grade is everywhere recognized by the; best educational authorities ; and in Germany, besides ordinary schools for the train- ing of elementary teachers, there are colleges for the express object of giving students opportunities to acquire more advanced professional and scientific knowledge for their duties as teachers of higher positions in the secondary and superior schools. In 1879 there were four of such colleges at Berlin, one at Breslau, one at Gottingen, one at Bonn, one at Magdeburg, one at Konigsberg, and one at Stettin. In Ontario we have as yet none with the like advantages. The recent establishment of the Chairs of Education in the Universities of Edinburgh and St. Andrews, and the appointment of Professors Laurie and Meiklejohn thereto, shows the recognition in Scotland of the value of scientific know- ledge in advanced education.
The necessity in this Province for affording opportunity for such higher professional training to High School Teachers is more apparent now than formerly, since our High Schools have become the institutions in which intending teachers gain their general edu- cation as well as knowledge in the non-professional subjects required as part of their qualifications.
The special experience of the two High School Inspectors support these suggestions, and their respective views are set out in extracts from their Reports in the Schedule here- with. There is an incidental advantage in the present Principal having been one of the High School Inspectors for a period of eight years, and having also previously been most successful as Principal of the Hamilton Collegiate Institute. The direct educational benefits to the pupils of the College themselves would also be as marked in secondary education as it is proved to be in elementary in both the Provincial Model Schools at Toronto and Ottawa, and also in the County Model Schools throughout the Province.
The teaching staff in the College as well as in every High School would be improved in efficiency, as higher qualifications would gradually result from the more advanced knowledge thus afforded of the best methods in secondary instruction, management and discipline, in which many of the High Schools are still deficient.
Financially there need be no demand on the Provincial Bevenue, and under the proposed financial reforms the College would show a surplus of income from its endow- ment amply sufficient to meet this and other needed objects in higher or superior educa- tion. This would also supply an existing defect in affording the same professional training to candidates for First Class Public School Teachers' Certificates, as well as for their acquiring scientific knowledge in advanced educational methods which the two rio-
389
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
vincial Normal Schools are now unable to afford without serious injury to the professional training of candidates for Second Class Certificates. The government should be exercised as now by the Senate of the Provincial University, under such arrangements with your Honour in Council as might be necessary for giving effect to this new sphere of Provin- cial usefulness, for which I have shown the College is specially adapted and the educa- tional necessity so apparent.
Extracts from Inspector McLellaris Report.
1. The demand of the age, especially of this new country, is for the practical; hence Science (including Mathematics) and English Literature will take the foremost place in the secondary schools. The Minister of Education even now proposes an important change in this direction, but no one will deny the value of high classical culture, Greek and Latin being pre-eminently the Humanities. For this special attention cannot however be given in the majority of High Schools and Collegiate Institutes in the increasing demand for Science and practical education.
"2. Ability to pass examinations is not the highest measure of true education : written examinations are valuable as a means, but they are not a satisfactory test of in- tellectual power and high attainments, while they are no test of the existence of the essential elements which should enter the formation of a noble manhood. These are developed only by the personal contact and influence of the true teacher upon the scholar, and this is one of the defects of our system of secondary education.
3. There are many pupils from eleven to fifteen years of age whose parents desire for them a liberal education, and who must be sent from home to obtain this at some High School. Board and lodging is found by chance during the time the character is being formed, without little or any judicious supervision, and without the influences for •good which come from the true educator. A trained intellect and some attainment in Science and Literature will probably be the result, but a stunted growth in the higher ■elements of his nature. There is need of institutions like Upper Canada College ought to be, where such need may be satisfied, and any arguments against such provision from the State can be advanced with equal force against ali Provincial aid for any secondary ■education.
4. Under more economical management, with an improved system of scholarships, the advantages of the College would be open to any boy who has shown industry, perse- verance and ability in any local High School, and in this way it would afford equality of opportunity to the child of the poor as of the rich, which is the grand principle of our whole system. There could then be no ground for the outcry against the College on this account ; but if examined there is no just ground for it. The Public Schools, High Schools and Collegiate Institutes are open to all, and equally accessible to the son of the iowliest as of the rich, and the chief burden of supporting them falls on those who are well off, and in proportion to the assessable amount of their property, whether they actually take advantage of the schools or not.
5. A truly national system of education must meet the needs and requirements of all classes of the community, and ours will fail to secure its highest and best results unless we possess au institution or institutions sucli as the College might become under a "Canadian Arnold."
6. Uniformity in a national system is repressive of individuality and the develop- liiriit of genius when carried to an excess. It may therefore be fairly argued that the College should occupy an independent position with more freedom of management and flexibility in its course of study. The chief corrective of the tendency to uniformity is, however, to be found in the influence of the true teacher, with full insight into human nature and a profound sympathy for that of boys, with enthusiasm for his work. Let Upper Canada College be supplied with such, and higher results in national education will be won, with profounder influences upon the moral, intellectual and industrial life of our community.
7. These considerations suggest the strongest of all reasons for retaining the College as au integral part of our system. It can be made a model school in secondary cduca-

tion. In primary education the Teacher makes the school, and in secondary education also; and his efficiency is to be determined by his skill, knowledge and experience in the art of teaching While this is universally admitted in the elementary schools,it has been thought in this Province that the secondary schools may safely be left to take care of themselves. This is a serious mistake, for no such school can produce its best results when under the management of a teacher not fully trained. It is a serious mistake in the case of this Province, for our secondary schools educate our teachers ; and as our teachers are taught, so they themselves will teach. They cannot free themselves from the methods which have been followed with themselves ; and if they have been taught by imperfect or abso- lutely hurtful methods, they will continue to follow in them. This is the great defect in our High Schools now. There are good teachers, but they have become so after the ex- perience of many failures, and there are many bad teachers who will continue to be such. The foremost educators strenuously maintain the necessity of professional training for teachers in secondary or High Schools. Dr. Wiese, the famous German Minister of Education, points out as amongst the reforms on which all other real reforms depend, the necessity of a proper method of ascertaining the professional qualifications of a person before he is allowed to undertake the functions of a teacher. The University degree is not satisfactory evidence that the holder possesses the. qualifications necessary for the education of youth, and the special qualities for this must be gained, as in Germany, by the application of scientific principles which govern the mental activities of the actual work of the school-room. In Germany there are numerous schools where the literary and professional training of teachers is carried on at the same time, but with us the literary training is separated from the professional, and we have for this purpose the County Model Schools and the two« Provincial Normal Schools, but this is necessarily confined to elementary teaching.
Dr. Ryerson recognised the want of professional training for teachers in secondary education, and hence established the Model Grammar School. This did not succeed for reasons which could be pointed out, but his views were in this respect in accord with those of the ablest educators this age has produced. The time has now come for the realization of Dr. Ryerson's idea, and Upper Canada College can be made the Model High School for Ontario, and thus exert a powerful influence on secondary education, and through that on the primary education of the Province. Upper Canada College can be made to occupy such a position, which would be the highest attainable by any school for secondary education.
Extracts from Inspector Marling' 8 Report.
The improvement that has taken place during the last eight years in secondary education in Ontario is phenomenal ; foremost among the evidences of improvement is the recognition of the High School by the Government and people of the Province as the fountain-head, so to speak, of the supply of teachers. But with the imposition upon them of this special function of teaching those who are to be teachers, deficiencies have become apparent, which the High School Inspectors at their official visits have been much struck with. Misdirected energy, faulty discipline, empirical, capricious and changeful methods, waste of time, neglect of foundation work, hazy and pointless and inconsequen- tial presentation of subject-matter, may be specified as among the more prominent of these faults. In other words, the faults are mainly such as would naturally be exhibited by those who have not made the art of teaching a distinct study. Now, in the case of the primary schools, it is admitted that special professional training is essential to the success of the teachers ; the Model Schools and the Normal Schools are the avenues through which the candidate for a Public School Teacher's Certificate must pass. No untrained teacher can any longer obtain even a third-class certificate. The anomaly therefore pre- sented is that no similar provision exists for the special training of teachers for secondary instruction. The necessity for such training was perceived twenty years since by Dr. Ryerson, the father of our school system, and the Model Grammar School for Upper Canada was established to supply the want. This school was not suffered to exist long enough to exercise any appreciable effect on the training of Grammar School Teachers, but the policy of such an institution was felt to be thoroughly sound, as an essential element
391
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
in the educational service of our Province. I think the time has come for the revival of this policy and of such a school. By a fortunate coincidence, the means of supplying this omission in our system are afforded just at the very time when the necessity for it has become so urgent. I venture, therefore, to express my belief that Upper Canada College might he utilized thus, to the great benefit of the public educational service.
Division 4.
The School of Practical Science. 1. Origin and EstabHslinient.
The absence of any institution in this Province for practical instruction in Industrial Sciences was felt to be so great a want, that the Government of Mr. Sandiield Macdonald, in 1870, commissioned J. G. Hodgins, Deputy Superintendent of Education, and A. T. McHattie, M.D., "to proceed to the United States, for the purpose of inspecting and reporting upon any Technical or Science Schools or Colleges there established, as to their buildings, departments of study and general appliances," and they accordingly presented their Report, dated January, 1871^ setting forth particulars as to eight of such Institutes, four being in the State of New York, three in Massachusetts, and one in Connecticut. Also as to cost of buildings and appliances, revenue and expendi- ture, instructors, number of students, course of study and objects, details of all of which are given. The cost of building of sis of these Institutions exceeded $60,000, viz. : — $67,000, $80,000, $100,000, $290,000, proportion of $300,000 at Cornell, and the Cooper Institute for Science and Art in New York $630,000. The annual expenditure for salaries and otherwise was $17,000 in two instances, $23,000 in one, $30,000 in another, $40,000, $50,000, $60,000 and $80,000 iu the other four. The Commissioners reported that their estimate of the proposed Ontario College of Technology would involve an expenditure of $50,000 for capital, and of $12,100 to $14,500 annually- They show the particular classes in our Province which would be benefited, and that while the merely intellectual wants of our people had been liberally provided for, provision for turning to practical account scientific and industrial skill had been neglected, and they point to the great impetus given to the development of the resources of the States which possessed such Technical Schools, and also the steps taken in this direction by Great Britain, at South Kensington and in the Mechanics' Institutes, and their conclusion was that Technical education was a Provincial necessity.
The former Government acted upon this Report, and in 1871 obtained a grant of $50,000 for the purpose of establishing a College of Technology, and expended $38,500 thereof in the purchase of the Mechanics' Institute Building. The unsuitable location and deficiencies of this building and want of appliances resulted in failure, as reported by me to the Lieutenant-Governor on the 16th June, 1873, and consequent prejudice in the minds of many against any such school.
However, to provide for this admitted want under proper and satisfactory conditions, I submitted the recommendations contained in my Report of the 30th of January, 1877, in effect being the sale of the Mechanics' Institute Building, and the erection of a suitable building near the Provincial University.
The Mechanics' Institute building was not only unsuitable in its structure, but could not afford the laboratory and other accommodation required for instruction of this special nature, and possessed neither the requisite appliances nor apparatus. Instead of appointing a distinct professorial staff for giving such instruction which was involved in the plan of the former Government, my further proposal was to adopt a more econo- mical mode, by utilizing four of the Professors of University College in the same depart- ments of instruction as were required in the school — namely, Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, Geology and Mineralogy, Natural History and Botany — and thus leaving only the Professor of Engineering and such assistauts as might be required, to be paid for from the Provincial revenue. The Order in Council of the 3rd February, 1877, approving of such report, was ratified by resolution of the House of Assembly on the
392
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1882
13th February, 1877. The new building was accordingly erected and opened for students in September, 1878. It contains commodious chemical, assaying, physical aud biological laboratories, chemical and engineering lecture rooms, a desiguing and draughting room, apparatus aud model rooms, also store rooms, balance rooms and experimental rooms, and is furnished with requisite fittings and apparatus in the several departments. The cost of its construction, exclusive of apparatus, was tbe sum of $30,353, while the estimate for the annual maiutenauce of the school from Provincial revenues was $5,600. While this institution cannot compare with the larger aud more expensive ones in the United States and elsewhere, for technical training, it nevertheless satisfactorily supplies this want in our educational system, in affording a thorough practical education in physical science, with a direct bearing upon the professions or occupations which the students may wish to follow. It is in fact a school of " Practical Science," and as such secures benefits more than commensurate with the moderate expenditure in its construction and maintenance. The government of the school is, by the Revised Statutes, chap. 212, under and accord- ing to the rules and regulations of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, and the Board for its internal management is composed of the professors, lecturers and instructors of the school. Its staff, operations, 'aud number of its students, will be seen from the report of the Board for the year 1881, to your Honour, which next follows.

This table embraces the regular students pursuing special subjects in the full courses taught in the School ; or proceeding to a Diploma in the Department of Engineering ; or to a University Degree. In addition to those, there are in attendance at the Evening Lectures now in progress, as a part of the Winter Courses hereafter described, in Chemistry, 141 ; in Engineering, 51.
The Fees of the academic year 1880-81, derived from the students proceeding to a Diploma of the School of Practical Science, in the Department of Engineering, and paid to the Provincial Treasurer, amounted to $385.
The Act by which the School of Practical Science is constituted, specially provides that " besides training students in regular classes, instruction shall also be given to artizans, mechanics, and workmen, by evening classes, in such subjects as may further their improvement in their different callings." The Board has accordingly completed arrangements for the following courses of Evening Lectures for the year now in progress, which were commenced on Monday, November 14th, by an Inaugural Lecture, by Dr. Wilson, the Chairman of the Board, on "The Practical Uses of Science in the Daily Business of Life."
Courses of Evening Lectures specially adapted to skilled mechanics, artizans, etc. : —
1. Inorganic Chemistry: on Thursday, November 17th, and each following Thurs- day, by W. H. Ellis, M.A., M.B., Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
2. Applied Mechanics : on Monday, November 21st, and following Mondays, by J. Galbraith, M.A., Professor of Engineering.
3. Ethnology, by D. Wilson, LL.D., F.R.S.E., President of University College. To be followed by Courses of Lectures on :
4. Natural History, by Professor Ramsay Wright, M.A., B.Sc.
5. Light and Sound, by Professor Loudon, M.A.
6. Geology, by Professor Chapman, LL.D., Ph.D.
7. The Objects of Chemistry as a Science, by Professor Pike, M.A., Ph.D.
The success of those courses of Evening Lectures has thus far given satisfactory assurance of their appreciation by those for whose benefit they are specially provided. The attendance at the first course, given by Dr. Ellis, on Inorganic Chemistry, numbers as follows : —
Veterinary Students Ill
Mechanics and others 30
The attendance on the second course, given by Professor Galbraith, on Applied Mechanics, thus far numbers 51, nearly all of them (as shown in the detailed lists ap- pended to this Report), machinists, joiners, carpenters, smiths, and others of the class of skilled workmen specially contemplated in the provisions of the Act.
The other courses, which will follow in succession, will be adapted in like manner for this class of skilled artizans, and all others to whom practical instruction of an elementary character is calculated to have a special value.
( 'hi misiry. — The students of the School of Practical Science, and those of University College, attend the course of Lectures given by Dr. Pike, on the Theory of Chemistry. In addition to this they are engaged in practical instruction and laboratory work, under Dr. Pike and Dr. Ellis, for thirty-six hours each week. An evening course of Lectures on Inorganic Chemistry, given by Dr. Ellis, specially adapted for working men, and for all students entering on the study of the science, has already been referred to. It will be followed by an evening course of like character, by Dr. Pike, on "The Objects of Chemistry as a Science."

The work now carried. on by the combined teaching of the Professors and Lecturers of the College and School has greatly increased the facilities for practical instruction. But, notwithstanding these, the Chemical Laboratory has this year proved scarcely ade- quate for the accommodation of the large numbers in attendance.
Biology. — In this department Professor Ramsay Wright includes theoretical and practical instruction in Zoology and Botany ; and, in addition to the regular courses of L ictures given to the students of University College, he devotes six hours each week to special courses of instruction for students of the School of Science.
Ethnology. — This department embraces Anthropology ; the physical and moral dis- tinctions of races ; the influence of the ethnical element on the evolution of history, and the distinctive characteristics of nations. It also includes the philological evidence of the relations of ancient and modern races, and the historical significance of the science of language.
Mineralogy and Geology. — Professor Chapman's instructions in the branches of Mineralogy and Geology include practical teaching in the determination of minerals, the use of the blow-pipe, and assaying, in addition to Lectures on Mining and general Ceology, with use of field instruments, etc.
Engineering. — In this department Professor Galbraith's Lectures embrace Civil, Mechanical, and .Mining Engineering. The various branches of instruction in Descriptive Geometry, Strength of Materials, Theory of Construction, Applied Mechanics and Prac- tical Astronomy, are of special value to intending engineers, architects, and surveyors. Practical instruction is also given in Drawing and in Surveying, including field work. In all the above branches, as soon as the student has acquired a sufficient knowledge of the principles involved, practical problems are proposed which he is required to work out under the supervision of the Professor, but receiving assistance only when absolutely necessary. He thus becomes not only well grounded in the application of scientific prin- ciples, but at the same time discovers his deficiencies in time to remedy them. The work here specified is of a very varied character ; and experience already proves that it exceeds the power of any single instructor to overtake the whole. Professor Galbraith accordingly reports that he considers it necessary for the successful carrying out of this department that he should have an assistant possessed of a thorough knowledge of Descriptive Geometry and Spherical Trigonometry, of ordinary Surveying and Levelling, including the theory of the instruments, and who is also a good Topographical, Mechanical and Archi- tectural Draughtsman.
Mathematics and Physics. — Professor Loudon and Mr. Baker jointly carry out a comprehensive system of instruction embracing the various branches included in the departments of Mathematics and Physics. The Physical Laboratory is now furnished with a valuable collection of instruments of precision in the departments of Dynamics, Sound, Light, and Heat. The Physical Experimental rooms will not be competed for some time ; but it is intended to have an elementary laboratory ready for occupation in January, 1882, and to give practical instruction therein in all the above branches during Easter Term.
In conclusion, the Board believe that they may report with confidence of the School of Practical Science that it is successfully carrying on the work for which it was insti- tuted, and will in due time be able to adduce satisfactory evidence of the practical value of the scientific training which it provides. The arrangements by means of which its advantages, and those which University College offers in some of the most important branches of science, are made available to the students of both Institutions, have greatly added to the work devolving on the Professors and Instructors; but the results which this combined action gives assurance of — as already shown In the more thorough and compre- hensive teaching in both Institutions — encourage them to persevere.
A comparison with other Technological Colleges and Schools of Science suffices to show that this school is still imperfectly equipped ; but the Board confidently trusts that the appliances still wanting in various departments will be furnished on a scale worthy of a Provincial School of Science, so as to give the thoroughest efficiency to the instruction of its students.

RESPECTING UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS NOT UNDER PROVINCIAL CONTROL,
BUT INCORPORATED BY CHARTER OR ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE.
While my official duty might be considered at an end, in having submitted the fore- going Report on the condition of the three great constituents of our Provincial system — the Elementary, Secondary or Higher, and Superior or University branches of education not overlooking also those institutions — either Provincial or Provincially aided — which supply instruction in special or technical subjects, this review would fail in completeness if my Report did not also present some of the valuable results which the Universities, Colleges, and Schools of a denominational or social character are contributing in the work of general education in the Province. Schools of a private or social origin, and some of a superior order, are to be found in cities and larger towns, and these with the denominational Universities, Colleges, and Schools, constitute no unimportant part of our educational agencies. Such institutions have been established by voluntary subscriptions from members of their own religious bodies and the general public, and all possess suitable buildings and appliances. Victoria College, Queen's, Trinity, and the Western University, also derive considerable income from endowment funds, the result of similar voluntary contributions.
The Universities or Colleges with University powers comprise the following, in the order of the date of their establishment: (1), Victoria College, at Cobourg ; (2), Queen's College, at Kingston ; (3), Trinity College, at Toronto ; (4), Ottawa College, at Ottawa ; (5), Albert College, at Belleville ; and (6), the Western University, at London.
The following particulars respecting each of such Universities are derived from their respective calendars, and such other information which their Presidents or official heads have most courteously given.
I. The University of Victoria College.
Victoria College was originally incorporated under Royal Charter, dated 12th of October, 1836, as the "Upper Canada Academy," a Wesleyan Methodist Institute; and subsequently by Provincial Statute 4 and 5 Vic, Chap. 37 (27th of August, 1841), as the University of Victoria College, with power to confer degrees in the several Facul- ties. It is in connection with and under the control of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Canada.
The Faculty of Arts is composed of the following : —
Rev. S. S. Nelles, D.D., LL.D., President, Professor of Mental Philosophy, Logic, Ethics, and the Evidences of Religion; John Wilson, LL.D., Professor of Latin and Greek; Rev. Alfred H. Reynar, M.A., Professor of Modern Languages and English Literature; A. R. Bain, M.A., Professor of Mathematics ; Eugene Haanel, Ph.D. (Bresl.), Professor of Chemistry and Physics ; S. C. Smoke, B.A., Adjunct Professor of Classics ; Prof. Bain, Lecturer mi Astronomy ; Dr. Haanel, Lecturer on Geology ; S. C. Smoke, B.A., Tutor in French.
The Associate Examiners are : —
Metaphysics. — A. Burns, D.D., LL.D., E. B. Ryckman, D.D., J. J. Hare, M.A., A. Purslow, LL.D. Classics. — W. H. C. Kerr, M.A., James Mills, M.A. Mathematics. — J. A. McLellan, LL.D., C. A. Masten, B.A., W. Riddell, M.A., B.Sc. LL.B. Geology.—

Shaw, M.A., LL.B.
The subjects of instruction at Victoria College are comprised in its Faculty of Arts, involving a course of four years ; and in the Scientific Department for the like period, and in the Faculty of Theology. A summary of the number of students in each Faculty is as follows : —
Students in Arts 133
Students in Medicine (Toronto) 54
Students in Medicine (Montreal) 101
Students in Theology 84
Students in Law 13
Students in Science 9
Total 357
In its Faculty of Medicine, instruction is given in the Toronto School of Medicine and in that of the Ecole de Medecine et de Chirurgie at Montreal.
The Cobourg Collegiate Institute is one of the Provincial High Schools from which this University annually receives its several matriculants.
A special feature in the Scientific Department is that the degree of Bachelor of Science is conferred after a complete course of four years. " Faraday Hall " was erected to supply ample accommodation for instruction in Physical Science, and it also possesses laboratories, apparatus and appliances for this purpose.
II. University of Queen's College.
This College was originally established by Act of the Province of Upper Canada, 3 Vic, Chap. 35 (10th of February, 1840), as "The University at Kingston," on the application of leading members of the Presbyterian Church in connection with the Church of Scotland ; and in October, 1841, by Royal Charter, as the "University of Queen's College at Kingston," with power to confer degrees in Arts, Divinity, Medicine, and Law. It is in connection with the Presbyterian Church of Canada.

VI. The Western University op London, Ontario,
Was incorporated by Act of the Legislature of Ontario, 41 Vic, Chap. 70 (7th March, 1878), in connection with the Church of England in Canada, with power to affiliate with Huron College, a similar Church of England Institution, and to confer degrees in Arts, Divinity, Medicine and Law, subject to the conditions contained in the 10th and 7th Sections of the Act, which were respectively that any University powers granted for conferring degrees should not be exercised until it had been made to appear to the satis- faction of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council that the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, at the least, had been raised in property, securities or money, including Huron College when affiliated thereto, and is held for the purposes of the University, and it was declared that such powers might lie withdrawn at any time when the Legislature deems it expedient to require such University to become affiliated in the whole as in respect of any particular Faculty or Department, with the Provincial University, and that the College thereby incorporated might, on its own motion, become so affiliated in respect of any of its Faculties, other than Divinity. The 7th Section provides that the Senate shall not confer any degrees in the Faculty of Arts until such time as four professorships, at least, have been established therein, and four professors appointed to discharge the respective duties thereof, and until this had been made to appear to the satisfaction of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.
Huron College, on the 24th of June, 1881, became affiliated with the Western University, and constituted its Faculty of Divinity, by agreement between the two corporations, and all the property and securities of Huron College, amounting in value to the sum of $95,000, also became vested in trust for the purposes of the Western University.
Upon the application of the Western University to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, it was shown that the further sum of $53,395 in properties, securities and money had also been raised, and was held for the purposes of the University, thus making together the sum of $148,895, and by Order in Council dated the 4th July, 1881, it was declared that having regard to the condition of the 10th Section of the Act, it had been made to appear to the satisfaction of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council that the sum of $100,000, at the least, had been raised for the purposes of the Western University.
The Western University was accordingly inaugurated on the 6th of October last, on which occasion the Chancellor, the Right Reverend I. Hellmuth, D.D., D.C.L, Bishop of Huron, delivered the inaugural address, setting forth the circumstances and reasons which required the establishment of this further addition to the Colleges affording univer- sity education in this Province. From this it appears that while one of the objects of this University, as a Church of England institution in the Diocese of Huron, was to obtain the same power of conferring degrees in Divinity as was' possessed by Trinity

College, in the Diocese of Toronto, it was mainly established by reason of the necessity which existed for supplying better opportunities for higher liberal education in Arts, Science and Literature, not only to intending Students in Divinity, but to all others in that large and prosperous portion of the Province of which London is the geographical and business centre. Huron College had been opened in 1863, and during the eighteen years of its existence had educated eighty clergymen of the Church of England. I was also present at such inauguration in my official capacity, and submitted some educational statistics showing the sphere of its intended operations. The Diocese of Huron comprises the Counties of Huron, Grey, Bruce, Lambton, Perth, Waterloo, Elgin, Brant, Oxford, Essex, Norfolk, Middlesex and Kent ; and the following is a comparative statement with the whole Province in the particulars of:

It is also of interest to notice that while the present generation owes so much to the foresight of the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, General Simcoe, in anticipa- ting the wants of elementary, higher, and university education in the Province of Upper Canada, which in 1791 was about being established by the Quebec Act, he sets forth in his letter to Sir Joseph Banks, Bart, President of the Royal Society, dated January 8, 1791, "his hope that he would be able to establish in the then virgin Province, among other means of civilization, a university ;" and thus proceeds to speak of the locality which was to be the centre of the new community : — " For the purpose of commerce, union and power, I propose that the site of the colony should be in that great peninsula between the lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario, a spot destined by nature sooner or later to govern that interior world. I mean to establish a capital in the very heart of that country, upon the River La Tranche, which is navigable for batteaux one hundred and fifty miles, and near to where the Grand River, which falls into Erie, and others that communicate with Huron and Ontario, almost interlock." Upon this spot the city of London, in which the Western University has just been established, stands, and while the site of Toronto was subsequently adopted as the capital, the views of Governor Simcoe in respect to the University remained the same, and have been literally fulfilled in the Provincial University at Toronto, and this one at London, according to his expectations as expressed in his letter of the 16th October, 1795, to Bishop Mountain: — " My views in respect to a university are totally unchanged ; they are on a solid basis, and may or may not be com- plied with, as my superiors shall think proper, but shall certainly appear as my system to the judgment of posterity."

1. Trinity College School. — The Calendar for 1881-2 contains the following information : —
This school was first established at Weston, near Toronto, in 1865, and in 1868 removed to Port Hope, to buildings rent free for three years. In 1871 the property was acquired and permanent buildings erected, furnishing accommodation for eighty boarders, besides masters, matron, and servants. The School is incorporated by an Act of the Ontario Legislature passed in the Session of 1871-2, the governing body consisting of the Lord Bishop of Toronto, the Chancellor of the University of Trinity College, the Provost, and the Pro- fessors in Arts of Trinity College, the Head Master of the School, and such other persons as may from time to time be appointed by the governing body. Further improvements have been made in the erection of a chapel for three hundred worshippers, and a large dining-hall. In 1874 a large wing was added to the original buildings, with additional accommodation for seventy boys, and also for an increased staff of masters and servants, the accommodation being abundant for one hundred and fifty boys. A drill-shed and gymnasium, and twenty acres of land, afford full opportunity for voluntary physical ex- ercise. The course of instruction includes classics, mathematics, English, German, French, natural sciences, book-keeping, drawing, vocal music, and military drill. Pupils are prepared for the University matriculation examinations and entrance for law, medicine, and other professions ; while in the Modern Department special attention is directed to pre- paration for commercial pursuits. The Calendar states that, as discipline and general management of the School are based on the English School system, out-of-school govern- ment is, to a large extent, vested in the hands of the prefects, who are selected from the senior boys by the Head Master. The staff of Masters is as follows : —
Head Master, 1870.— The Rev. C. S. J. Bethune, M.A., Trinity College, Toronto.
Assistant Masters, 1872. — Rev. W. E. Cooper, M.A., Trinity College, Toronto. 1876.— Rev. W. C. Allen, M.A., Trinity College, Toronto. 1877.— H. Kay Coleman,

half of the ground occupied having been the gift of the late Honourable John Elmsley. The assessed value of the present buildings and land is $150,000, and the number of the teaching staff of the College is 15. The present resources of the College will justify an addition to the main building. The chief revenue for the past ten years has been from pupils' fees. The standard of studies having advanced steadily with the general educa- tional progress of the Province, it was deemed advantageous for students intended for the liberal professions to apply for the affiliation of this College with the Provincial University of Toronto. On March 25th, 1881, this affiliation was effected upon a basis similar to that of the affiliation of many Catholic Colleges of England and Ireland with the London University. Throughout the course all the lectures in Mental and Moral Science, Civil Polity and History are given in St. Michael's College. The course of study includes Greek and Latin Classics, Mental Philosophy, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Mathe- matics, History. The following is the staff, with subjects of study : —

5. The Braniford Young Ladies' College was established in 1874, and is in con nection with the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Its object is the higher education of young women, for which instruction is provided in the Literary, Music, and Fine Arts Departments. The staff consists of the following: Principal, P. 11. Maclntyre, M.A., LL.B. ; Henry Whish, Mus. Baa; Henry Martin, M.C.S.A. ; the Rev. D.'d. McLeod, with six Lady Teachers and four Lecturers. The College has availed itself of the advantages offered by the Statute of the University of Toronto for the local examina- tion of women, during fch ■ last three years, in different groups of subjects of the Junior Matriculation Examination, and also in the Metaphysics and Logic of the second year. Twenty young lady students of the school have successfully passed these examinations. The examinations of the College are conducted by examiners not connected with the College. The number of students in attendance is 90 ; of these 60 are in residence.
6. The Ottawa Ladies' College and Conservatory of Music was incorporated by Act of the Legislature in 1869, and is in connection with the Presbyterian Church, and the majority of the Board of Management are required to be Presbyterians. This College was founded to meet the views of those who desire to place higher education within the reach of young women. The buildings are well supplied with school-rooms, bad rooms and other requisite acconimxtation. The standards aimed at for the senior classes are those of the University. The staff consists of —
Principal. — Rev. A. F. Kemp, M.A., LL.D.

Modern Languages. — J. A. Guignard, M.A.
Fine Arts. — Prof. Philip Monson, Drawing and Painting ; Mrs. King, Painting on Porcelain and Satin.
A Conservatory of Music exists as a department of the College, and affords the two- fold advantage of enabling pupils to pursue any Literary or Art studies in the College at the same time as their music.
A building was erected expressly for the Ladies' College at a cost of $50,000, and possesses ample accommodation and appliances for more than 150 pupils. The total number for 1880-81 was 131, of whom 61 were boarders and 70 day pupils; 100 took vocal and instrumental music, and 44 drawing and painting. The course of study com- prises : —
(1) A Preparatory Department for elementary English subjects, with plain and fancy needlework.
(2) An Academic Class.
(3) Also a Collegiate Class.
(4) Also a Graduating Class for instructien in the department of Philosophy and Science.
Those who successfully complete the whole course up to the required standard, receive a diploma of graduation and are enrolled as graduates. In pianoforte, organ and vocal music diplomas of graduation are also respectively granted.
7. Alma College was established at St. Thomas, in connection with the Episcopal Methodist Church, for the higher education of ladies, and as a separate institution for this purpose in place of " Alexandra College " — the ladies' branch of Albert College at Belleville. The buildings were completed in 1881, and are of a collegiate character, and suitable in a very high degree for a large number of resident pupils. The College was only opened for instruction last autumn.

Hi -sides the Ladies' Schools mentioned, there are Convents in each of the Roman Catholic dioceses of the Province, in which much attention is paid to the higher subjects of education for ladies. They are respectively situate at Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston^ Hamilton and London. The Loretto Convent at Lindsay is a Ladies' School for higher instruction, established by the Rev. Father Stafford in 1874, which is specially noticeable for the completeness of its accommodation and other school arrangements. The course of study is equal to the High School Intermediate. Twenty of its pupils have received teacher's certificates, five of which are from the Normal Schools, and eleven others had previously obtained certificates, showing 31 who have become legally qualified teachers. 300 pupils were on the register of 1881, and the teaching staff comprises eight instructors.
Conclusion.
Under the foregoing general heads I have endeavoured to present to your Honour, in Part I., not only the statistics of the Public, Separate and High Schools, which are collected from the Returns of the County and other Municipal Clerks, and County and other Public School Inspectors made to this Department in the year following ; but have brought up all the proceedings of the Department from the 1st of January, 1880, to the 31st December, 1881, a period of two years; and the Minister's Annual Report can, therefore, in future present to your Honour for the information of the Legislative Assembly in each session all the transactions of the Department for the year just expired, as in the case of other public Departments ; and the only information which under the special circumstances referred to need be delayed until collected in the subsequent year, are the Statistics of the Public, Separate and High Schools relating to the previous year.
It will also be noticed that this Part contains not only the important proceedings of the Department for two full years 1880 and 1881, but a comparison and review of the progress and improvement of our Provincial system for ten years from 1871 to 1S81 inclusive; and that the present time was most opportune for this object, inasmuch as it would agree with the periods of the decennial census of the Dominion, and also present two periods of five years each of the administration and supervision by the late Council of Public Instruction with a Chief Superintendent, and the Committee of the Executive Council (the Education Department) and a Minister respectively.
A comparison has also been presented in important particulars between our Provin- cial system and those in States of the Union similarly circumstanced, and also in England.
Full details and data are also furnished for the information of the public, and sug- gestions and recommendations submitted for the consideration of all concerned in educa- tional work, and responsible for securing useful and beneficial results, from the oppor- tunities so generally afforded to each child, and every class in our community.
In Part II. will be found sufficient evidence to show that similar efforts are made to provide education of a technical and practical character in Science and Art; and that the time is also opportune for extending its objects, and especially in the direction of me- chanical, agricultural and practical instruction for boys, and of household and domestic arts for girls.
From Part III. it will appear that satisfactory provision has also been made for the highest literary and scientific instruction in the curriculum of the Provincial University, and an efficient staff of Professors, Lecturers and Tutors in University College; as well as practically in the several departments of Physics in the Provincial School of Practical Science. An enlarged sphere of educational usefulness in supplying the further needs of our Provincial system has also been pointed out for Upper Canada College, to fulfil under an improved and more economical management.
In Part IV. the numerous Institutions which are there shown to have been successfully established for the work of University and higher education, by the zeal and interest of all the leading denominations of Christians in the Province, and the liberality of such classes and individuals testify to the penetrating influence of religion in our educational system, and to that freedom of action which will preserve to our different institu-

tions, an individuality unknown in the uniformity prevalent in France and not absent in Germany.
As this is a record of ten years' experience, it will not be necessary to set out in sub- sequent reports more than the transactions of each year, with any improvements and the direol ions of further progress until another cycle of at least five years has run ; and while it has been a pleasant duty to collect and place before your Honour for the information of the Legislative Assembly and the public the material contained under the several heads of this Report, it has been with the further object of directing the attention of all to the importance of the several questions which have been raised for consideration, and which, when properly matured, may tend to still greater practical benefits.
I have the honour to be,
Your Honour's obedient servant, Adam Crooks,
Minister of Education.

REPORT
COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION,
YEAR ENDING 31st DECEMBER, 1881.
To the Honourable John Beverley Robinson,
Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.
May it Please Your Honour :
The undersigned has the honour to submit the following Report on the operations of the Department of Immigration for the year ending 31st December, 1881 : —
During the past year there was an active movement of immigrants from the Old to the New World, but owing, doubtless, to the keen competition by other Provinces of the Dominion and the United States, Ontario did not obtain as large a proportion as in former years. A large number of immigrants bound for the States landed at Quebec and passed through Ontario, but their destinations having been fixed before they left their homes, there was little hope of inducing them to remain in this Province. The total number of immigrants settled in Ontario, through agencies, during the year was 18,233, as against 19,291 in 1880 ; while the total arrivals at Halifax and Quebec were 32,184, as against 27,877 in 1880.
From 1876 to 1880, both inclusive, there was but little demand in the Province of Quebec for farm labourers and female domestic servants, and wages being higher in Ontario, most of the immigrants who landed at Quebec found their way to this Province.
The system of granting free passes to immigrants during those years placed Ontario, though farther west, on an equal footing with the Province of Quebec, while the higher
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1882
wages paid in this Province formed sufficient inducement to the immigrants to give Ontario the preference. On the 1st of January, 1881, Ontario withdrew from the arrangement with the Dominion Government under which farm labourers and female domestic servants were provided with free passage to this Province. The Quebec Government, a few years ago, also withdrew from that arrangement, but having since returned to it, its agents were authorized to grant free passes to all classes of immigrants to any part of the Province of Quebec during the year 1881.
The Dominion Government continued, until the 9th of July last, to grant free passes to immigrants bound for Ontario, but from that date such immigrants as could be employed in the Province of Quebec could not obtain passes to Ontario. The result was, that though wages were much higher in Ontario, as many approved domestic servants and unmarried farm labourers as could be prevailed upon to remain were settled in the Province of Quebec, while other immigrants with large families and small means were sent by the Dominion Agent to Kingston or Toronto. It may be noticed that this Province has saved from $15,000 to §18,000 by the change of policy, and a much larger sum if the claims of the Dominion were conceded.
Female Domestic Servants.
In every part of Ontario the demand for female domestic servants was very pressing during the entire season, but the supply was altogether inadequate. The few experienced servants that arrived were readily engaged at wages ranging from §8 to §10 per month and maintenance, and owing to the keen demand in the cities few could be induced to go to the country towns. It is becoming generally known that well-trained servants are scarce even in England, and command high wages ; consequently few of this class are disposed to emigrate to the colonies. There is, however, a large number of partially trained domestic servants in the British Islands who would very materially better their circumstances by coming to this Province. A society, composed of ladies and gentlemen of influence and position, has recently been formed in London, England, with a view to encourage and assist the emigration of the latter class to the Dominion. It is proposed to send a number of the girls together in care of some reliable and responsible person, who shall cross the ocean with them and place those for Ontario in charge of the Ontario Immigration Agent at Quebec, from which place free passage will be provided for them to this Province. The Dominion travelling agent will convoy them, along with other immi- grants, to Toronto, and place them in charge of the local agents. The committee in London, England, recommends that committees of ladies should be formed in the prin- cipal cities and towns of Ontario to assist in obtaining respectable places for the girls, give them advice and sympathy, keep a record of their movements and watch over their moral and temporal welfare. The formation of such committees would not only be an inducement to respectable girls to emigrate, but would also encourage them to remain at domestic service. There are not a few respectable girls, who, being strangers, find them- selves cut off from social enjoyment, and leave service in disgust and seek employment in factories or elsewhere. Girls coming out under the auspices of the society in London are to have certificates of character sent to this Department one week in advance of their
iv.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1882
arrival here. Only girls of good moral character, suitable age, and sound health, are to be sent. In Toronto a committee has already been formed for the purpose above mentioned.
Farm Labourers.
During the year 1881, there was almost as great a demand for farm labourers as for •domestic servants. In the early part of the season general labourers were much sought after at high wages, but as farmers were tardy in raising the wages of farm labourers proportionately, the consequence was that, though the arrivals were large in May and June, many were induced to accept other employment at $1.25 to $1.50 per day as long as farmers were only offering from $15 to $16 per month, with board, for the summer season. As the season advanced farmers paid from $25 to $30 per month, with board and wash- ing, bu it was impossible to find a sufficient number of men to supply the demand even at these wages. From all parts of the Province pressing orders were sent to the agencies, but the demand could not be supplied. Nearly all the farm labourers who arrived at Toronto were engaged at the sheds by farmers who came to meet them, and there were instances of some who came one hundred miles to look for men, only to go back disap- pointed. Farmers are already sending orders for men, with a view to secure them in •time for spring work. In the eastern sections of the Province the demand for labourers was brisk, but the farmers did not suSer so much from want of them as did those north and west of Toronto. If farmers could be induced to build more cottages suitable for labourers' families, they would secure more permanent labourers, and their daughters as domestic servants.
Tenant Farmers.
A considerable number of tenant farmers settled in Ontario in 1881, but it is 'impossible to form an estimate, even approximately, of the actual number. Many of them came out as cabin passengers, and left Quebec without calling on the agent. Some called at the Department, while others went direct to friends with whom they were in correspondence prior to their departure from Europe. For the information of tenant farmers from Europe, lists of purchasable farms, with full description, price, and terms of payment, have been obtained from the various districts of Ontario. It has been found necessary for the officers of the Department to collect information as to the general character of the various districts of Ontario in order to be able to advise capitalists seeking investments. Several land agents have also placed their lists of land at the dis posal of the Department for the use of immigrants. The Report of the Agricultural Commission has been found to contain much information of the kind that immigrants would find it impossible to collect for themselves.
The Dominion Government having during last summer invited four delegates from Germany to visit Manitoba, and other parts of the Dominion, the undersigned thought it desirable that they should visit the German settlements of Ontario. After spending a few days in the prosperous county of Waterloo and neighbourhood, they, with the Secretary of the Department and an interpreter, visited the German settlement in the township of Arthur, where they found several men from their own neighbourhood
4-3 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 0). A. 1882'
in Germany, who came to Canada about sixteen years ago without means, but who are now in possession of well-improved and well-stocked farms of one hundred and fifty acres each. From Arthur they went to the various German settlements of Normaaby, Carrick, and townships in the county of Bruce, and one of their number visited also the German settlements in Muskoka. They were equally surprised and pleased at the remarkable success of their countrymen in those settlements.
An account between the Dominion and Ontario Governments, for the transportation of immigrants from Quebec to Ontario, has remained unsettled since 1878, a difference of opinion having existed as to the amount for which the latter was liable. As formerly explained, the Dominion Government entered into an arrangement with the Grand Trunk Railway Company, without the knowledge or acquiescence of the undersigned, by which the rates for the carriage of immigrants were raised from one cent to one and two-third cents per mile, and it was not conceded by the undersigned that Ontario was justly liable for the extra charge. The cost of carriage for 1878, 1879 and 1880 was made on the basis of one cent per mile, and two-thirds of the amount, in accordance with the agreement, has been paid to the Dominion Government.
Through the Immigration Agency in Liverpool, every available means consistent with economy was used to spread information in Britain regarding this Province during the year. In addition to the circulation of the " British Farmer's Guide," 50.000 copies of a smaller pamphlet, together with maps, are being circulated. Advantage has also been taken of the principal agricultural fairs held periodically in England, Ireland and Scotland to circulate printed matter relating to this Province.
There are many men of wealth in England who desire to make their sons Canadian farmers. With that practical good sense characteristic of the better class of Englishmen, they wish to have their sons trained in all the details of farm work before they entrust them with farms of their own. They propose to grant bonuses of about $75 to farmers taking the young men as farm pupils. They expect them to be treated as members of the farmer's family, and receive wages according to whatever they are worth. An oppor- tunity will be afforded by the Department, during the current season, to farmers, to make- application for such pupils.
The arrivals at Quebec in 1880 and 1881 respectively, were as follows : —
1880 — Steerage passengers, 21,730 ; Cabin, 3,142 24,872

ANNUAL REPORT OF PETER BYRNE, ESQ., ONTARIO IMMIGRATION AGENT, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND.
Ontario Government Agency,
6 South Castle Street,
Liverpool, 31st Dec, 1881. The Hon. A. S. Hardy,
Commissioner of Immigration, (fee, Toronto.
Sir, — I have the honour to report that the operations of this Agency during the past year have been conducted on the same plan and by the same means as the year previous, namely : — by newspaper advertising ; by the distribution of printed matter at Agricultural Shows, and through various agencies, public and private, throughout the country ; by conference with intending emigrants, and by correspondence. In these various ways the object has been to diffuse information regarding the resources and attractions of the Province, and to promote the emigration of such people as would prove a welcome and desirable addition to its population, and to discourage from going those of an opposite description. Through the various channels referred to there have been distributed about 20,000 pamphlets, 10,000 sheet maps embellished with lithograph views and accompanied with letter-press, and upwards of 50,000 leaflets and circulars, besides considerable numbers of Reports of various kinds.
The stock of the large pamphlet, " The British Farmer's Guide to Ontario," having become nearly exhausted, I found it necessary to prepare a small one to take its place, for general distribution. Its size was limited to sixteen pages, in order to keep down the cost and to facilitate its distribution. It contains a small coloured sketch map showing the Province extended to the limits assigned to it by the Boundary Commission. The contents consist mostly of extracts from the reports of the British farmer delegates who visited the Province a year or two ago, together with facts and testimony regarding the Province from other sources. I find by experience that a pamphlet of this size is much better adapted for exclusive distribution than one of larger bulk, for, whilst it costs comparatively little to print and to distribute by parcel or post, or by hand, it answers the general purpose of such publications just about as well. If those who receive it do not find in it sufficient information or the particular facts they wish to know, it directs them where they may obtain fuller details and get answers to all their inquiries. I got only 10,000 copies at first, being anxious to obtain your approval and authority before having a larger number printed. Since the receipt of your instructions on the subject I have ordered 40,000 more. I am now making arrangements to place 10,000 to 15,000 copies in the hands of as many rural clergymen in different parts of the United Kingdom, during the next few weeks. Clergymen are often consulted by members of their flocks on tin' subject of emigration, and the possession of this pamphlet will enable them to impart sound information and ad irding Ontario as a field of emigration.
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1882
In reference to the subject of advertising, I have followed the same course as last year, namely, putting a short advertisement in about 300 country newspapers most circulated in small towns and the rural districts, and in a comparatively small number of journals of large and general circulation, and in a few that are specially devoted to agri- cultural matters and largely read by the farming community. In the case of all these papers, I have been able to insert the advertisement for only a limited portion of the year, with a few exceptions. I may venture here to repeat what I stated in my last report, that I believe it would be very advantageous to have an advertisement for the whole or greater part of the year in a certain number of the best newspapers for this purpose.
During the past summer I occasionally received from Mr. Spence and others reports to the effect that there was a very pressing demand for farm labourers in the Province, which the emigrant arrivals were inadequate to supply. In replying to Mr. Spence, I pointed out that an abundant supply of farm labourers could be obtained in this country if some means were devised of paying their fares, to be refunded out of their wages, I suggested to Mr. Spence, that farmers who were greatly in need of help might remit, through the Department, funds to pay the fares of as many labourers as they required. On my part care would be taken to select and send out only men of good character. It would not he possible to guarantee satisfaction in all cases, but by taking pains to secure only such men as could be well recommended both as to character and capability, the risk of failure or disappointment would be reduced to a minimum. At all events, the suggestion may be worth the consideration of those farmers who are anxious to avert future inconvenience and loss for want of sufficient labour ; and it may be that many would act upon it if it were brought under their notice by public advertisement. It would be desirable in such cases that the farmer be prepared to offer an engagement by the year, and to state the amount of wages he would be willing to pay for a man of good average ability, also whether a single or a married man was preferred.
In a former report I drew attention to the number of applications made to me on behalf of the sons of English gentlemen and others, for information as to the terms and conditions of admission to the Provincial Agricultural College at Guelph ; but learning that there was little or no chance of students from this country being admitted, owing to the popularity of the college with the sons of Ontario farmers themselves, for whose benefit it was established, I have not been able to give any encouragement to outsiders. It has, however, frequently occurred to me that such youths might find openings with Ontario farmers, who are quite competent to give them a good, sound agricultural train- in", besides affording them the advantages of a comfortable home and intelligent society. In many cases liberal premiums would gladly be paid by parents or guardians, or by young men themselves, to farmers who could offer such inducements, it being understood that the young men would participate in the work of the farm like the farmers' own sons, and receive, in addition to board and lodging, wages or not, as might be agreed upon. Many of the young men thus placed would sooner or later have command of capital, and eventually settle down in the Province as farmers on their own account. Doubtless, also, there are plenty of farmers who would be glad to receive respectable youths without a premium, and give them a home and some little wages in return for their labour. The main thing is to bring these classes of youths and the farmers who are prepared to receive them into communication through a medium that will inspire mutual confidence. Parents and guardians who would like to see their sons or their wards comfortably placed with a good farmer in Ontario, naturally shrink from sending them out in a haphazard way, without knowing where or when they will obtain a situation, or whether when obtained it ■will be suitable for them. On the other hand, respectable farmers would naturally require to be assured that the youths whom they are asked to receive into their homes are of thoroughly good character and antecedents, and disposed to carry out in good faith the terms of a fair agreement. I am glad that this mode of contributing to the supply of useful labour in the Province, and at the same time adding to the population a most desirable class of settlers, has received your favourable consideration, and that you have decided on giving it a trial during the forthcoming season. Since the receipt of your letter to me on the subject I have put myself in communication with some private but
2
45 Victoria. i essional Papers (No. 6). A. L&82
influential persons who feel a special interest in this branch of emigration, ami I am sure of their co-operation and that of many others in promoting it under the regulations of the proposed scheme.
Another class whose emigration it is highly desirable to promote by a special effort, if possible, is that of female domestic servants, for whom I believe there is a more urgent demand than ever in the Province. Rut as [ have before had occasion to point out, good efficient servants are at a premium heir also, and even those who possess but indifferent qualifications have no difficulty in getting situations. The few we do secure for Ontario are generally such as go out with their parents or to join relatives or friends already settled in the Province. I am therefore of opinion that nothing short of an offer of free passages, extensively advertised, would secure anything like an adequate supply. And many thus obtained would be found, [ fear, to be of very inferior training and capacity. The cost of an "assisted passage" for a domestic servant is at present £\; formerly it was only a fraction over £1. If the fares were again reduced to £\, it would operate; to some extent as an inducement to families consisting largely of girls old enough for domestic service, to emigrate, who otherwise would not be able to bear the cost ; and if free passages were offered this inducement would of course be all the stronger, and a corresponding increase in the emigration of such families would take place as a natural result.
The ''Assisted Passage" rates of fare, formerly granted only to farm labourers and their families and to female domestic servants, were extended during the year to working class emigrants generally. These rates now stand as follows: — For each person over 12 years of age, £5; each child under 12, £2 10s.; infants under 1 year, 10s.; and domestic servants, £4.
The number of emigrants whose passages were paid during the past year by their friends in Ontario was 359 souls, equal to 281 statute adults. Of this number 105 were domestic servants, 81 farm labourers, and the remainder chiefly the wives and families of farm labourers and others. The amount of money received for this purpose, chiefly through Mr. Spence, Secretary of the Immigration Department, was $6,500. These figures show a slight decrease when compared with those of last year.
The official emigration returns for the year have not been received from the Board of Trade up to the time of closing this report, but I shall forward thein as soon as they come to hand.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
P. BYRNE,
Agent for Ontario.

ANNUAL REPORT OF R. M. PERSSE, ESQ., ONTARIO IMMIGRATION AGENT, QUEBEC.
Toronto, 3rd January, 188 .'.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your information the following report of my operations, at the port of Quebec, during the navigation season of 1881 : —
I left Toronto on Thursday, the 28th of April, and reached Point Levis on Saturday, the 30th, in good time to meet the first passenger steamship of season, the ss. Bueiion Ayrean, from Glasgow, which arrived on Sunday, the 1st May, having on board 127 immigrants.
On Monday, the 2nd May, the mail steamships Polynesian and the Scandinavian arrived in port, and disembarked in all 894 passengers.
The general destinations of the steerage adults were : —
Province of Quebec 38
Manitoba 26
United States 190
Ontario 397
It will be seen by this that the Province of Ontario had, in the early part of the season, a good start in securing a large share of the newly-arrived immigrants, but 1 regret to say that this did not continue, for reasons which will be given later on.
The number of steamships that arrived with immigrants, and disembarked at Point Levis wharf, was 126, as against 128 during 18S0. This does not include all the passenger steamers that arrived in port, as some odd steamships of the "London" and "Beaver" lines arrived with only a few passengers ; and as they did not land the passengers at Point Levis wharf, no notice has been taken of them.
The total arrivals of immigrants at Quebec during the season of navigation of 1881, which opened on the 1st May, and closed on the 14th November, were : —
Cabin 3,489
Steerage .' 26,049
Total 29,538
The corresponding figure* for the previous year were : —
Cabin 3,142
Steerage 21,730
Total 24,872
These figures show the total increase of L881, over 1880, to be 1,666 souks.

45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1882
From the opening of navigation I had no difficulty in getting farm hands and female domestic servants forwarded by free pass to Ontario until the 9th July, when I was informed by Mr. Stafford, the Agent for the Dominion Government at Quebec, that he had received instructions from the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, as follows: —
"Restrict passes to Ontario. All needy immigrants must be sent to the nearest place where employment offers, chiefly to the Province of Quebec, because Quebec Gov- ernment pays two-thirds cost of transport."
The result was that the very best farm labourers and the majority of the female domestic servants were secured for the Eastern Townships and Montreal city. The immi- grants arriving by mail steamships were generally met by Mr. A. 0. Killam, of Compton. This Agent is an officer of the Dominion Government, and exercised the privilege of selecting farm hands and female domestic servants for the Eastern Townships ; and being a farmer of great experience he was careful in choosing none but the best farm hands, chiefly single men. Such as had large families and were without means had to be pro- vided for in some way, and as they could not be located in this rather limited Agency, they were sent by the Dominion Agent to Kingston or Toronto. Mr. Killam always convoyed his party of immigrants to Sherbrooke and Compton.
Female Domestic Servants.
Between the 10th July and end of October I received numerous applications from residents at Smith's Falls, Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, Port Hope, Toronto, llamil ton and London, requesting me to send them servant girls ; but owing to the instructions received by the Dominion Agent at Quebec, from the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, " to restrict passes to Ontario," I was not in a position to forward them. When immigrant girls presented themselves at the office window of the Dominion Agent for a pass to Toronto, or some other place in Ontario, they usually received for answer, " Very sorry I can't send you there ; but I can send you to where you will get immediate employment — to Sherbrooke, (Joinpton, or Montreal."
I found it necessary, therefore, in the interest of this Province, to use some means to secure some of these for Ontario. With this view I placed a large blackboard in front of the Ontario office, where the immigrants pass and repass, inscribing in chalk the num- ber of servant girls required from time to time in Toronto, with rate of wages, shewing a considerable advance on wages paid in Quebec. By this means I was successful in inducing some of the better class of female servants, who had sufficient money to pay their railway fare, to go to Toronto.
The rate of wages paid to immigrant girls in the Eastern Townships is from $5 to $6, and in Quebec city from $4 to $5 ; while the same class of servant girls can command in Ontario from $6 to $8, and in many cases experienced laundry women, cooks, and general servants can obtain in Toronto from $10 to $12 per month.
Prepaid Immigrants.
The number of prepaid immigrants sent for through the Department, and who landed at Quebec, was less than in the previous year. On their arrival they presented cards or circular letters from Mr. P. Byrne, the Ontario Agent at Liverpool, shewing that their destination was the Province of Ontario. As I was not authorized to issue passes in 1881, I allowed the immigrant to retain such circulars or cards, and referred them to the Agent of the Dominion Government.
Statement A shows the number, ages and sexes of the children brought out by the various parties, and settled in the Province during the season of 1881.
Statement B shows the name of each steamship that arrived with immigrants, num- ber of cabin and steerage passengers, with date of arrival at Quebec ; also the general destination of the steerage adults ; also the nationalities of the cabin and steerage pas- sengers. •
Statement C shows the Recapitulation for the seven months' work at Quebec, com- pared with that of corresponding months of the previous years.

It is absolutely necessary for many reasons, that immigrants, on their arrival at Point Levis, after their baggage is examined by the Customs authorities, and cheeked by the Grand Trunk Railway Baggage-master, should be forwarded on their westward journey as quickly as possible.
The officers and employees of the Grand Trunk Railway Company were, I must say, very considerate and obliging to the newly-arrived immigrants, and have been most zealous and energetic in their respective duties in the dispatch, care and attention to all immi- grants.
Before closing this Report, I beg leave to call your attention to the courtesy shown to the Department by the Owners and Agents of the Allan and Dominion steamship com- panies respectively, in supplying me regularly, as in the previous years, with copies of all passenger lists. These lists have been very valuable to the Department, and have also aided me considerably in compiling statistics for this Report.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
RICHARD M. PERSSE,
(Miario Immigration Agent. To the Hon. Arthur S. Hardy, M.P.P.,
Commissioner of Immigration, iLx., <kc, Toronto.

They were disposed of in the following order, viz. : —
City of Ottawa 303
Towns east of Toronto 57
County of Carleton 202
" Renfrew i : 321
" Prescott and Russell 70
" Lanark 24
" Ottawa 57
" Pontine 62
" Argenteuil 177
City of Montreal 43
Province of Manitoba 25
Left for United States 1
Total 1342
These immigrants were composed of the following classes : — Agricultural labourers, 328; common labom-ers, 188; female domestics, 126; brass-founders, 2; boiler-maker, 1; butchers, 2; blacksmiths, 5; bricklayers, 12; bakers, 3 ; brush-makers, 3; book- binder, 1 ; boys, 30 ; clerks, 61 ; carpenters, 22 ; cabinet-makers, 2 ; gardeners, 7 ; grooms, 6 ; lock-maker, 1 ; machinists, 10 ; stone-masons, 11 ; moulder, 1 ; painter, 1 ; plumbers, 3 ; saddler, 1 ; sawyers, 2 ; tailors, 5 ; watch-makers, 2 ; weavers, 3 ; wheelwright, 1 ; all of whom were disposed of immediately on arrival here.
In addition to the above, many have reached here from the United States seeking employment, and others came to join relatives, of whom I kept no account, having been notified officially that the Customs officers furnished an account of this class of persons monthly to the Department of Agriculture direct, thereby relieving me of this duty.
The immigrants of 1881 were healthy, and required but little medical aid.
Over 76 German families reached here, a number of whom proceeded to join rela- tives and acquaintances previously located, where they had selected sites for settlement purposes on the Crown Lands in the Counties of Renfrew and Pontiac.
It was entirely impossible for me to ascertain accurately the relative amounts brought out in this year, both in effects and money, by immigrants arriving. On the whole they were possessed of more means than are usually found with this class, and I think I am -quite safe in stating that the approximate value may be cited at about $35,000.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient, humble servant,
W. J. WILLS, Agent. To the Honourable the ' 'ommissioner of Immigration, Toronto.
There is no Return of immigrants reported through Customs at this Agency, as shown by the following telegrams : —
Toronto, 24th January, 1882. W. J. Wills,
Immigration Agent, Ottawa.
Can you send me Return of arrivals through Customs for Report 1 You may get it ■from Mr. Lowe.
David Spence.
Ottawa, 25th January, 1882. David Spence,
Secretin-// of Immigration, Toronto.
Department of Agriculture states you have been written to on this subject, and the information trained by them belongs to their Report.

ANNUAL REPOET OF RICHARD MACPHERSON, ESQ., IMMIGRATION AGENT, KINGSTON, ONTARIO.
Government Immigration Office,
Kingston, 10th January, 1882.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your information the Annual Report of this ■office with statements annexed, for the year 1881, viz.: —
Statement A — Showing the number and nationality of immigrants arrived at the Kingston Agency during each month, from 1st January to 31st December last, by way of the St. Lawrence and the United States respectively, classified as to sexes ; also showing the number of immigrants fed, and number of free meals, and free passes granted.
Statement i'. Showing the number and nationality of immigrants for the year 1881, and their general destination.
Statement C — Showing the number and destination of immigrants forwarded from this office by free passes during the twelve months ended 31st December last.
Statement D — Showing the number of settlers from the United States who have made entries within the several ports of entry within ray district since 1st January, 1881, and the value of their effects, amounting to the sum of $38,056.
The supply of agricultural labourers was very far short of the demand, as also of female domestic servants. In fact, during a. greater portion of the year I could have placed at good wages many more of all classes than I had, but as the season advanced, say after October, the demand decreased, and it became more difficult to find work. In the winter season it is almost impossible to obtain any employment in my district for newly-arrived immigrants.
There was one case of death at the hospital here of an immigrant during the past summer, who had been working on the Napanee and Tamworth Railway, but with this exception I learned of no serious illness among the immigrants settled in my agency, although there were a considerable number who required medical attendance and several were placed in hospital for short terms.
As you will see by my returns, the European immigration into this district during the past year has been over 60 per cent, above that of 1879 or 1880, and about 175 per cent, greater than that of either 1877 or 1878.
Miss Uilbrough, of Marchmont Home, Belleville, continues her good work, having in April and June last brought out from Scotland 157 children who had been trained in Mr. Quarrier's Home, Glasgow.
There has been a large quantity of mineral forwarded from this city during the past year — say 7,000 tons phosphate and 19,000 tons of iron ore — besides which there is now lying at the mines, in the township of Levant, county of Lanark, about 11,000 tons of iron ore awaiting shipment. From the Madoc and Marmora mines, in the county of Hastings, a very large quantity of iron ore has been obtained, also a considerable quantity of gold; but I am not at present prepared to state the quantities.
There will be a large number of labourers wanted in my district during the coming season for the construction of railways and in developing mines, as also a largely increased number of farm labourers and female domestic servants.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
R. MACPHEESON, Government Immigration Agent.
The Honourable the Commissioner of Immigration, Toronto.

ANNUAL REPORT OF JOHN A. DONALDSON, ESQ., IMMIGRATION AGENT,
TORONTO.
Immigrant Office,
Toronto, January 3rd, 1882.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your information the report of this Agency for the twelve months ending December 31st, 1881.
The demand for good farm labourers was about equal to that of former years, and I had no difficulty whatever during the summer months in placing men of this class as they arrived.
General labourers and others found ready employment on the different railways in course of construction in various parts of the country, the contractors for which were glad to take any men who came along.
Under instructions from the Department of Immigration, none but men who had worked on farms all their lives received assistance at the depot this year.
Some little hardship was felt in cases where parties not being bonajich farm labourers had come out to join friends in various parts of the Province, with the understanding that they would be forwarded free to their destination, having been sent free from In many cases their money was exhausted by the time they arrived in Toronto, and they were forced to dispose of some of their effects, or get their friends to advance the neces- sary funds to complete their journey.
The total number of arrivals here during the past year was some 14,597. Of this number 6,208, principally Germans and Scandinavians, passed through on their way to the Western States, and 610 British subjects reported themselves as on their way to Manitoba, thus leaving a total of 7,779 remaining in the Province of Ontario.
Of these about 3,380, as far as I could ascertain, were farm hands, and entitled with their families to assistance.
In addition to these numbers, some 1,024 souls are reported at the Toronto Customs and 121 at Collingwood, thus making a grand total of 8,924 remaining in Ontario.
The health of those arriving this season has been remarkably good, very little sick- ness having occurred, and only one child died during the summer.
There has been a large falling off in the number going to the Free Grant District this year. Only 150 intending settlers were supplied with passes to different parts, as against 316 last year. They were, however, a very good class, and all possessed of sufficient means to carry them over the first year.
The amount of capital brought into the country during the past year has been some 0,000. The value of personal effects belonging to immigrants, as far as could be ascertained, amounted to about $100,000.
Every attention and kindness has been shown to immigrants by the officers and employees of the various railway companies, and I have not had a single complaint of incivility or inattention from them during the whole season.
1 have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant, etc.,
JOHN A. DONALDSON.

Commissioner of Immigration, ■/.■..

EXTRACTS FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF JOHN SMITH, ESQ., IMMI- GRATION AGENT, HAMILTON.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following Report, in connection with thi Agency, for the year ending December 31st, 1881, with tabular statements for the same period : —
There has been a decrease in the number of arrivals during the past season, as com- pared with the preceding year, as will be noticed by a reference to Statement G, of those settling in Canada.
The immigrants settling in Canada during the past year were a very desirable class, comprising all kinds of labourers, mechanics, and operatives; being superior to the general arrivals during the time that I have had charge of this office, extending over a period of seven years. There has been a large increase in the number arriving possessed of small sums averaging from one hundred to live hundred dollars, and from live hun- dred to tive thousand ; others of more extended means having brought out amounts varying from rive to ten thousand, in addition to large remittances that have been received for investment.
The demand for all kinds of immigrants, including common and agricultural labourers, mechanics, female servants, and operatives, has been largely in excess of the supply, it being impossible to supply one-half of the applications made upon the Agency, although frequent requisitions were made upon the depot in Quebec, and the Agency in Toronto. The farmers in the neighbourhood, and outlying distances, waited for the arrival of the trains, so as to secure the desired hands, a large portion of them having to return without being successful. Some of the farmers are already contracting with hands for the year, so as to secure their services for the coming spring.
There has been a great scarcity of female servants arriving ; hundreds of applica- tions having to be returned, owing to the inability to till the demand made upon the Agency.
Mechanics of all classes have been sought after ; so much so, that repeated appli- cations were made upon Toronto and Quebec to assist in meeting the demand. In all branches of the iron trade, including railway shops, there has been great difficulty in securing desirable hands, the same difficulty being experienced both by cotton and woollen millowners in obtaining skilled operatives, and the time is fast approaching when this class of labour will have to be imported.
Readv-made clothing establishments have experienced great difficulty in obtaining the class of hands required, and in some instances they have been compelled to secure them from the United States, by offering special inducements to settle here.
In anticipation of a large immigration next season, it cannot be too strongly im- pressed upon the agents in Britain, and upon the continent, the desirability of directs ing the attention of intending settlers, and emigrants, to the importance of making their arrangements so as to arrive in Canada as early as possible in the spring, so as to enable them to obtain the advantages of the summer season.
Parties intending to emigrate would also mid it to their advantage to advise the Dominion Agents in the districts of Canada where they intend settling, giving full par- ticulars of their calling, and families, and the date that they intend sailing from Liver- pool, or other ports from which they anticipate embarking. By so doing the agents would be prepared to locate them on their arrival.
Referring to the late proceedings of interested Commission Shipping Agents, inducing parties to emigrate from the Old Country of an undesirable class ; being unfitted for colonial life, has entirely ceased, owing to the means adopted by the Department.
The agricultural interest of the Province has been a very successful one during the past year, as the farmers have realized large crops, which were secured in excellent con- dition; and owing to the failure of the crops in Britain, the large damage sustained by
34
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1882
the continual wet weather, the falling off of home supplies of breadstuff's, combined with the improved condition of trade, created an active demand for all kinds of produce at increased and highly remunerative rates. There has also been a good demand for barley for export to the States, with large receipts and high prices. Dairy products have met with a strong and active demand, with the exception of cheese, which ruled low in the early part of the season, afterwards recovering with a speculative movement at full rates.
The export demand for all kinds of live stock has been very active. Beeves, sheep, hogs and horses moved freely at high prices; sales being active principally for Europe
and the United States.
* * * * *
The Free Grant District is well adapted for hardy settlers with small means. Those having settled there through this Agency during the years 1878, 1879 and 1880 report that they are well satisfied, and that they are fast gaining an independence from the fruit of their labours, as the country is well adapted for grain, roots, and grazing purposes.
The best class of settlers for this district are composed of agricultural labourers that have resided in Canada for a year or two, and who have gained a knowledge of the country, and accumulated a small capital from their earnings since they arrived here.
With railways constructed through the district, and a well-devised plan for the location of settlers, these lands would soon be occupied by a hardy and thrifty class of immigrants.
There has been during the past year a large number of inquiries from the old country and the United States respecting the lands of Ontario and the North-West Territories, being the result of the reports of the British Farmers' delegates and the information disseminated by the Department.
***** Statement A shows the number of arrivals and departures. Statement B shows the location of the immigrants.
Statement C shows the number of immigrants that have been forwarded on free passes, and their destination.
Statement D shows the amount of capital that has been reported as brought and remitted into this district.
Statement E shows the number of children brought out and settled in this district by the different philanthrophic societies.
Statement F shows the number of immigrants arriving and departing, and the num- ber settled in Ontario ; the number of meals, lodgings and free passes granted, and the number of immigrants fed.
Statement G shows the arrivals and departures, and their general destination. Statement H shows the number of indigent immigrants to whom assistance has been granted, with the number of meals, lodgings and free passes supplied. The comparative statement shows a large decrease as compared with the previous year, the result being caused principally by a better and more independent class of immigrants arriving, and the great demand for labour ; the farmers waiting at the trains to engage and convey them to their destination, thereby relieving the Government of the expense ; the Depart- ment also exercising a strict economy at this Agency.
Statement I shows the price of provisions and clothing. Statement J shows the rate of wages paid in the district.
I look forward to a large demand for immigrants during the coming season, owing to the increased prosperity of our agriculturists, and the rapidity with which our manu- facturing industries are being developed. All kinds of labour, both skilled and unskilled, will be required, especially agricultural labourers and mill operatives.
I notice that steps have been inaugurated by the High Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada for the purpose of encouraging the emigration of female domestic servants to Canada. This class of immigrants should receive the best consideration from the Government, as no class of immigrants are more in demand, or could be more useful to the country, as it is utterly impossible to supply the demand made upon the 4 35

respective Agencies. During the past season over two hundred applicants for servants have been disappointed at this office, and such is the anxiety to obtain thein that the parties would willingly pay a commission to secure them.
There is also another class of immigrants that should receive the attention of the Department, being those whose passages are prepaid by friends residing here, which gives the best of assurance that they are coming out for the purpose of settling in Canada.
I have again to bring under your notice the urgent necessity of providing suitable shed accommodation for the reception of immigrants, especially for those arriving with- out means, as great suffering and inconvenience have been experienced in the past for want of the necessarv accommodation.

ANNUAL REPORT OF A. G. SMYTH, ESQ., IMMIGRATION AGENT,
LONDON.
Government Immigration Agency,
London, Out., Slst December, 1881.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit, for the information of the Honourable the Com- missioner of Immigration, my Annual Report for the year ending 31st December, 1881.
1st. Yearly Tabular Statement of arrivals via St. Lawrence and Halifax, and by way of the United States, showing sexes, nationalities, trades and occupations and general destination.
Schedules A, B, and C, giving the monthly arrivals, the number assisted with free meals, the number assisted with free railway passes, and a list of stations to which they were sent.
The demand has been much in excess of the supply for agricultural labourers ; con- sequently, during harvest wages for that class ruled high.
The class of immigrants the past season were of a superior order, many bringing money and a good quantity of effects, the value of which, at a low computation, would be fully twenty thousand dollars. The information on this point is difficult to collect, as many think they may lose some particular advantages if we fancy they are too well off.
The health of those coming to this Agency was particularly good, not one serious case of illness coming under my notice during the season.
The prospects for the coming season are good, and those who come out early in the season will have a good choice of situations.
Female domestics are still very scarce, especially those who are well up to their business, such as cooks, laundry maids, and general house servants, and good wages can bo readily had.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. G. SMYTH, Government Immigration Agent. David Spexce, Esq.,
Secretary, Department of Immigration, Toronto, Ontario.

OF THE
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
FOB THE
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO,
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st DECEMBER, 1881.
To His Honour the Honourable John Beverley Robinson,
Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario, <Ssc.
I respectfully submit the usual annual report of the operations of the Department of Public Works for the year ending this thirty-first day of December, 1881.
All matters relating to the works carried on by this Department during the past year, in connection with the several Public Institutions of the Province, are specially • referred to in the report of the Departmental Architect, a copy whereof is hereto attached.
The operations connected with the improvement and maintenance of Navigation on inland waters of the Province, including locks, dams, slides, etc., are fully set forth in the Departmental Engineer's report, a copy whereof is also hereto appended. In the same report will be found a list of the several Municipalities that have availed themselves of the advantages afforded by the " Drainage Aid Act," for the carrying out of local drain- age systems ; and also, as far as could be obtained, a very complete resume of the Railway construction effected in the Province during the year just ending.
In my report of last year I stated that, before making any final selection of a plan for the proposed new Parliament Buildings for the Province, it had been deemed advis- able to permit certain of the competing Architects to modify and alter their designs, with a view to their being submitted for the further consideration of the Government. Upon these modified plans being so submitted, it was determined to ask for tenders upon two of them, one of which had been prepared by Messrs. Gordon and Helliwell, of Toronto, and the other by Messrs. Darling and Curry, of the same place. Instructions were at once given to have the required detail drawings and specifications made ready. Through unforeseen delays these are only now on the eve of completion, though I hope 2 5
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
that a few days at most will find them finished. It is intended to advertise at the earliest practicable moment for these tenders, and when they are received the Department will be in a position to recommend which (if either) of the last above-mentioned plans should be finally adopted.
Very respectfully submitted,

Department op Public Works, Ontario,
Toronto, December 31st, 1881.
Sir, — -I have the honour to submit the following Annual Report : —
GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
The floor of the conservatory was re-constructed, the joists and flooring boards being unsafe from decay, and the entrance to the furnace-room was repaired.
A covered passage between the conservatory and lower green-house was constructed.
Additions have been made to the furniture and furnishings as required.
The ordinary repairs to buildings have been attended to, and the grounds have been kept in good order.
PARLIAMENT AND DEPARTMENTAL BUILDINGS.
The usual repairs to the buildings have been made where required, and the roads, grounds, etc., kept in order, the expenses having been charged to the separate Depart- ments.
The want of additional accommodation for committee-rooms and clerk's offices is still a source of embarrassment during the annual sessions of the Legislature, and arrangements are urgently required to be made for the safe-keeping of the records.
There has been no expenditure on account of capital during this year.
ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, TORONTO.
The expenditure on account of this building has been for the construction of a slaughter-house on the southern side of the wall surrounding the grounds, and being in connection with the Central Prison and the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Females, one-third of the cost has been charged to each of these Institutions. The tender of Messrs. Baumhard k Marshall being the lowest, was accepted.
7
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, LONDON.
The outlet sewer has been extended some distance below Dundas street, and the sewage discharged as before into the creek. The tender of S. Flory for a brick sewer twenty-two inches in diameter, being the lowest, was accepted, and the work has been satisfactorily done.
Provision was also made for draining the lands through which the sewer passes.
ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, HAMILTON.
Two frame sheds were constructed in the airing yards, south of the building. The tender of Messrs. J. ife E. Dickenson, being the lowest, was accepted, the work having been done under the superintendence of the Permanent Clerk of Works.
The iron guards to the windows of each wing have been strengthened, and the doors and windows of rooms set apart for the refractory patients have been protected by shutters.
A duplicate steam pump was placed in the east boiler house, and connections made with water supply pipes of the cisterns and to the tanks in the building, the pumping arrangements being complete in every respect.
Additional hose has been supplied for the wards, and the provision against fire is as complete as can be made -with the present water supply.
ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, KINGSTON.
Tenders were received for the construction of iron pipes and hydrants in the grounds, from the pumping house, for fire protection. The tender of Mr. McNeil, Kingston, being the lowest, was accepted. The hydrants have been tested and proved to be satisfactory, but the pumping arrangements are not yet complete.
A re-vote of the unexpended balance will be required for the construction of the gas apparatus and fences, also for the completion of the water supply.
ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS, ORILLIA.
The water tanks in the building have been repaired, and are now in good order.
The galvanized iron eaves were also repaired, and the large chimney raised to improve the draught of the boilers.
The above work was done under the superintendence of the Permanent Clerk of Works of the Department.
DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTE, BELLEVILLE.
A brick root-house was constructed in the rear of the building, and sundry repairs to the roof were made by Mr. J. Forin, contractor, whose tender for the root-house was accepted, and the work was done in the time specified.
Fire hose was provided, according to requisition.
BLIND INSTITUTE, BRANTFORD.
The repairs to the galvanized iron deck roofs were completed in what appears to be a satisfactory manner, and it is expected that the painting with the patent material used therefor, will be eificient and prevent further expenditure.
A small quantity of fire hose was provided according to requisition.
S
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, GUELPH.
An agreement was entered into with the City Water Works, Guelph, for the exten- sion of a main pipe six inches in diameter for the supply of water to the College buildings, with three hydrants on the grounds for protection against fire. The work was completed during the summer, and the buildings are now supplied with pure water, and pipes will be connected with the main so as to supply the out-buildings, garden and grounds with water, for which rubber hose has been supplied.
Fire hose was provided for the hydrants and buildings, the Water Works pressure having been fully tested and found satisfactory.
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND NORMAL SCHOOL, TORONTO.
The floors of the waiting rooms and passages in the Normal and Model Schools were taken up, and hardwood re-laid, the pine flooring being much worn and out of repair. The hardwood floors were coated with oil, and the painting of the woodwork was renewed, the work having been done during vacation by day's work, under the directions of the Carpenter of the Department.
The usual repairs were made to the roofs and drains where necessary.
NORMAL SCHOOL, OTTAWA.
Alterations were made in the Chemical laboratory and apparatus rooms in the front building ; the tender of Mr. A. Robillard, being the lowest, was accepted, and the work was done in a satisfactory manner.
Some alterations were also made in the arrangements of the furniture for the class- rooms and galleries, which were carried out during the vacation.
The roof also required repairs, which were made during the summer.
SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL SCIENCE, TORONTO.
A macadamized road and sidewalk were constructed from near College street to the front of the building. The tender of T. A. Hastings, being the lowest, was accepted, and the work was done in a satisfactory manner.
There was no expenditure for repairs to the building.
OSGOODE HALL, TORONTO.
Sundry alterations and improvements were required in consequence of the changes of offices under the new Act, and the work was done by days' work, under the directions of the Carpenter of the Department. A covered passage from the west door in the rear to the Court of Appeal was constructed.
The roofs and drains were repaired where necessary.
ALGOMA AND OTHER DISTRICTS.
The chimney flues in the Court House at Sault Ste. Marie were taken down where necessary, and re-constructed to prevent any danger from fire. The wood-sheds and fences in the yards were also repaired.
A frame building for a Court-room and Lock-up at Huntsville, in the Muskoka Dis- trict, is now in course of erection by the contractor, Mr. J. M. Foster, whose tender, being the lowest, was accepted. The work is under the superintendence of the Permanent Clerk of Works of the Department.
A brick Registry Office was built at Parry Sound. The tender of Messrs. Sylvester A Elder, being the lowest, was accepted.

CENTRAL PRISON, TORONTO.
The materials for the concrete floor in the basement of the centre building, and for the construction of the tailor's shop, were supplied, the work having been done by the labour of the prisoners, and the concrete floor has been a great improvement.
PROVINCIAL REFORMATORY, PENETANGUISHENE.
Tenders were received early in the season for constructing additions and making alterations in the building, also for a steam-heating apparatus. The tenders of Mr. A. J. Brown, Hamilton, for additions, and Messrs. D. S. Keith & Co. for the steam-heating apparatus, being the lowest, were accepted.
The work progressed in a satisfactory manner during the summer, and is now nearly completed.
A tile pipe will have to be constructed to divert the sewage from the outside water closet recently constructed, and to extend in a northerly direction, as the present outlet is considered to be too close to the water supply, and might cause contamination, which should be avoided; other additions will also be required.
ANDREW MERCER REFORMATORY" FOR FEMALES, TORONTO.
The front fence and driving shed have been constructed. The tender of Messrs. Bryce Bros., Toronto, being the lowest, was accepted, and the work has been done in a satisfactory manner.
Iron guards were constructed for the basement windows in the rear, and the oak doors of the privileged cells were strengthened with iron bars, the louvres being insecure and dropping out, owing to the shrinkage of the lumber from the steam-heating, the changes being required for the security of the inmates.
I have the honour to remain,
Your obedient servant,
KIVAS TULLY, Hon. C. F. Fraser, Architect, etc.

OF
THE ENGINEER
OF
PUBLIC WORKS.
Department of Public Works, Ontario,
Toronto, 31st December, 1881. Hon. C. F. Fraser, ' Commissioner of Public Works.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following Report on the construction and maintenance of Public Works under the control of this Department, and also the extension of railways and drainage works throughout the Province during the year ending this 31st day of December, A.D. 1881.
MUSKOKA LAKES' WORKS.
The following improvements have been made in connection with these works during the present year :
A channel about 40 feet in length, 20 feet in width and 2 feet in depth at extreme low water has been blasted through a ridge of rock which formerly ran across the Joseph River. This river is the natural outlet of Lake Joseph into Lake Rosseau and the dis- tance to Port Carling is much shorter by this route than by going down the Lake and through the Canal at Port Sandfield. The cut will therefore prove a great convenience to the settlers living in the neighbourhood, as the river will now at all times be navigable for saw logs, and the delay and inconvenience caused by having to portage their boats at this point will also be avoided.
A dam is being constructed at Port Carling for the purpose of reserving the waters of Lakes Joseph and Rosseau for navigation and other purposes. The work is well advanced, and would have been completed before the close of the year, had not the saw-mills at Port Carling become disabled in consequence of which the timber required could not be obtained. It is however expected that operations will be resumed and the work completed in the early part of the coming year.
The dam is about 230 feet in length, 12 feet in width, and 9 feet in height, with six stop-log openings for the escape of flood-water, 20 feoc in width each, and will have a stop- log platform 184 feet in length.
It was not originally the intention to construct this dam in its present position, as a much shorter one could have been built a short distance further up the stream, but as the latter would serve the interests of navigation only it was after due consideration deemed advisable to construct it in its present position where both the lumbering and navigation interests would be served, and where the stop-log openings could be made at
11
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
least equal in area to the natural outlet of the lake, thereby avoiding the flooding of any lands in consequence of its being built. The dam was badly required in connection with the lock at Port Carling, as there was formerly no way of reserving the waters of these lakes, and towards the latter part of each season it usually became very low and seriously interfered with navigation ; in fact some of the deeper draught boats were for lengthened periods unable to pass into Lake Rosseau at all owing to the insufficient depth of water upon the upper mitre-sill of the lock, and some of those which did pass were continually striking and consequently in danger of either seriously injuring themselves or the lock.
Another source of delay and annoyance will also be done away with in consequence of the dam being built, as the lumbermen will now be enabled to take their logs down the river instead of through the lock as formerly ; which was very often the cause of much delay and inconvenience to the steamers.
It was the intention to have done some blasting out of this appropriation at one of the outlets of Lake Muskoka known as " Coulters Narrows," but owing to the additional length of the dam ; the cost of the work was increased and the blasting had to be dis- pensed with for the present year. A re-vote of the unexpended balance will therefore be required to complete the clam and an additional appropriation made, to enable the blasting to be proceeded with in 1882.
MARY'S AND FAIRY LAKES' WORKS.
The following improvements have been made out of this appropriation during the present year :
A glance pier and boom have been constructed, and placed in the river a short dis- tance above the entrance to the canal, above the lock.
The pier is 20 feet square at the base, battering to 16 feet at the top, and is 20 feet in height. The boom is 135 feet in length and 3 feet in width. It extends from the new pier to the old guide pier at the entrance to the canal.
The improvements were rendered necessary in order to ensure the safety of the steamer, as in time of freshets the current in the river above the lock is very strong and it was extremely difficult at times to avoid being swept down the river, and on to the dam, when serious consequences would be likely to follow. These improvements, however, will now prevent such an occurrence, and guide the steamer safely into the canal above the lock.
An old coffer dam which caused much trouble and inconvenience to a local mill- owner, owing to its interfering with his getting logs into his mill in time of low water, has also been removed out of the river.
SCUGOG RIVER— DREDGING, ETC.
An appropriation of S5,000 was granted for service on this work last session. It consists in the excavation of a channel for steamboats, etc., from a point known as Stevens', on the Scugog River, across the drowned land to Drummond's Bay, the distance from water to water being 3,292 feet, or about TR025 of a mile.
The work was advertised in April last, and the tender of Ancil Mills, being the low- est, was accepted. At his request, however, the name of Alexander Ross was included in the contract, and the work was consequently carried on with Messrs Mills and Ross as contractors.
The dredging was commenced on the 31st of May on the Scugog River side, and pro- ceeded with continuously until the 24th August, when a cut 1,060 feet in length, with an average width of 63 feet and a depth of about six feet below the low-water mark given, had been made. The dredge was then removed to Drummond's Bay and the work again proceeded with, until a cut 378 feet in length and a similar width and depth to the above had been made, when (owing to the appropriation being about all expended) the work was stopped on the 29th September for the present year. In addition to the above lengths, the dredging was continued out a distance of about -10 feet into the Scugog River and about 60 feet into Drummond's Bay.
12
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
The remaining portion of the cut, 1,854 feet in length, yet remains to be dredged before the channel can be made use of, and it is therefore very desirable that provision should be made for this work in the estimates for the coming year.
When complete, this channel will considerably lessen the distance by water from Lindsay to Sturgeon Lake, and some of the worst bends, and consequently the most diffi- cult parts of the river to navigate, will also be avoided.
OTONABEE RIVER WORKS.
The sum of $1,500 was appropriated last session for the purpose of making some extensive repairs to the dam on the Otonabee River at Young's Point.
This dam reserves the waters of Clear and Stoney Lakes, and is required in connection with the lock. It was built, I am informed, some 40 or 45 years ago by a local mill-owner, but has been repaired by this Department several times since the lock was built.
The dam is now, however, about worn out, and as the area of the above lakes is about 9,200 acres, it is very important that it should be replaced by a new structure at an early date, as were it to give way there is no telling the amount of damage, and in all probability loss of life, which would follow.
Upon examination this year, it was ascertained that, owing to the rough manner in which it had originally been constructed, it would be almost impossible to repair it so as to make it water-tight. It was therefore deemed advisable to make only such repairs as were really necessary for the time being, to ensure the safety of the works ; and as the unexpended balance for maintenance was sufficient for this purpose, these repairs were made and the amount charged to the above-named appropriation.
The sum voted therefore remains intact for re-vote, along with an additional appro- priation for the construction of a new dam.
GULL AND BURNT RIVER WORKS.
The constructions, improvements, and repairs which have been made out of this Expropriation during the present year are as follows : —
Three piers have been constructed in Cameron Lake, at a radius of about GOO feet from the mouth of the Burnt River, for the purpose of rendering assistance to the lumber- . men in the sorting of logs and timber. The piers are of the following dimensions, viz.: — One 20 feet square and 19 feet in height, and two 18 feet square and 14 feet in height. They are built of round timber to the water level, above which the timber is 12x12 in. square. The piers are compactly filled with stone and planked on the top, and each sup- plied with a capstan, so as to enable the lumbermen to draw their booms into any position required.
Prior to the construction of these piers serious delays and inconvenience was annually experienced in this locality, as the lumbermen were then unable to sort when the wind was blowing in certain directions. This difficulty has now, however, been overcome, and the sorting can be proceeded with at almost any time ; consequently, the improvement is of vast importance to the interest it is intended to serve.
A glance pier has been constructed in the Crab River (Township Sherborne), a short distance below the dam. It is for the purpose of preventing the logs and timber from being injured by projecting points of rock, after passing through the slide. The pier is 90 feet in length, 10 feet in width, and 6 feet in height, built of round and flatted timber (principally hardwood), and is well rock-bolted and tilled with stone.
The slide at Norland, on the Gull River, has been raised a height of two feet for a distance of 30 feet from the lower end, and a floating apron, covered with maple plank six inches in thickness and 30 feet in length, has been constructed and securely chained to the lower end of the slide.
The slide at Elliott's Falls, a short distance above Norland, has been supplied with four new stop-logs, and some other slight repairs made thereto.
The dam and slide at the outlet of Little Bob Lake, on Lot 13, in the 11th Conces- sion of Lutterworth, has been entirely rebuilt. The new dam is 110 feet in length, 20
13
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
feet in width, and an average height of 11 feet. The slide is 107 feet in length and 6 feet in width. The material used in the construction of this work is pine and hemlock, principally the latter. It is a good substantial structure, and was badly required, as fcM old dam was in an unsafe condition ; liable to wash out at any time and seriously injure the works below.
The Racketty Creek slide, which is situated a short distance below the Bob Lake dam, has been repaired, and sluices for the escape of flood-water have been constructed in the dams at the head of the slide.
A cribwork apron has been constructed at the foot of the slide at Workman's Mills, which are situated on the Gull River, in the Township of Minden. The apron is 47 feet in length and 25 feet in width ; and the cribbing lias a depth of about 10 feet, which is compactly filled with stone. .Stringers 12 • ■• 12 inches square were placed on the cribbing at about five feet apart from centres, and the whole covered with hardwood timber 10 inches in thickness. The entire structure is strongly framed together, and securely pinned and rock-bolted. A quantity of rock was also blasted out of the river at the foot of the slide. A flume has been constructed on the south side of the slide, to convey the water from the mill into the river. This water formerly ran under the slide, and was continually forcing the floor-planking from its bed. The flume is 56 feet in length, and is 9 feet in width at the upper end, and 6 feet in width at the foot.
Grace Lake dam, in the township of Monmouth, has been supplied with a set of new stop-logs ; and Otter Lake dam, in the same township, has been gravelled, so as to make it water-tight.
The dam and slide at the " High Falls," on the east branch of the Burnt River, has been rebuilt. The new dam is 129 feet in length, 12 feet in width, and about 6 feet in height. There are two openings in it, one for slide and the other for the escape of flood- water. The openings are 6 and 9 feet in width respectively. The slide and apron has a total length of 196 feet, and the entire structure is built with 12 •■■ 12 inches square white pine timber. The falls which necessitate the construction of these works are about 31 feet in height, and are situated on Lot No. 6, in the 6th Concession of the Township of Monmouth.
Mud Lake dam, situated in the Township of Dysart, about two and one half miles from the village of Haliburton, has been sheeted in front with plank and gravelled, to make it water-tight. The slide opening on the north side of the river has also been supplied with new stop-logs, windlasses and frames.
This dam reserves the waters of Mud and Drag Lakes, and as these lakes have a superficial area of about 2,100 acres, they are of considerable value as reservoirs. The present dam, I am given to understand, was built by the lumbermen about 18 years ago, but has been repaired several times by this Department." It is now, however, leaking badly, and owing to the manner in which it was originally constructed, it is useless to try to keep it water-tight for any length of time. It is therefore very desirable that the pre- sent structure should be replaced by a new dam.
Eagle Lake dam, in the Township of Guilford, has been supplied with a new stop-log platform and a windlass and frame, and Oblong Lake dam, in the Township of Harburn, with a stop-log post and three new stop-logs.
A quantity of stone and sunken slabs which interfered with navigation have been removed out of the river at Coboconk.
A re-vote of the appropriation for the construction of a dam at the outlet of Moun- tain Lake was taken last session.
The appropriation was granted on condition that all parties whose property was likely to be affected by enclosing or maintaining the said dam would first agree to waive and forego all claims for damages in respect thereof. This condition has not yet been complied with ; consequently the work has not been carried out, and the appropriation therefore remains intact for re- vote again in 1882.
During the past year the utmost care has been exercised in the management of the reserve dams on the head waters of the Gull and Burnt Rivers, but notwithstanding this fact, navigation has been seriously interfered with, owing to the insufficient depth of water in Balsam and Sturgeon Lakes. This is partly owing to the exceptionally dry season,
14
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
but principally to the leaky condition of the outlet dam and works at Bobcaygeon, which are under the charge of the Dominion Government.
This dam is leaking badly its entire length, which is close upon 900 feet, and, in addition, the canal above the lock is also leaking badly. When this leakage is taken into consideration, together with the fact that there are two 48-inch, one 56-inch, and three G6- inch water-wheels continually working at Mr. Mossom Boyd's saw-mill at Bobcaygeon, the scarcity of water is easily accounted for. And I might here state that in seasons like the past one it will be utterly impossible to manage the reserve dams in such a manner as to maintain a sufficient depth of water in these lakes for navigation purposes, until the outlet dam and works have been put into a proper state of repair.
There has also been a scarcity of water in Mud and Pigeon Lakes during the past season, chiefly owing to the leaky condition of the dam and works at Buckhorn. lam informed, however, that extensive repairs have recently been made, so that it is altogether likely that a similar inconvenience will not be experienced in this locality for some time to come.
MAINTENANCE OF LOCKS, DAMS AND SWING BRIDGES.
The following repairs and improvements have been made out of this appropriation during the present year : —
An apron has been constructed to the dam at Lindsay to replace the old one, which was completely worn out. It is 257 feet in length and 12 feet in width, and is constructed with 12x1 2-inch pine stringers, covered with 3-inch plank. Some gravelling was also done at the dam, and both it and the lock repaired where necessary.
The three swing bridges were slightly repaired, and painted to prevent the timbers from decaying.
At Young's Point the swing bridge was painted, and the masonry of the lock walls pointed with cement. The balance beams of the lower gates of the lock, and some of the valve-rods, were also repaired. The joints of the planking on the upper ide of the dam were covered with 2-inch plank, and some gravelling done to make it water-tight.
A quantity of loose rock and other material, which interfered with navigation, was also removed out of the canal above the lock.
At Rosedale, on the Balsam River, the swing bridge was slightly repaired and painted. No repairs were required at the lock.
At Port Carling some repairs have been made to the lock gates and valves, and the sheeting and floor planking on the cribwork of the lock renewed in several places where it had been injured or decayed. The swing bridge was also adjusted, and some slight repairs made thereto.
At Mary's and Fairy Lakes' Lock the filling in the pier on the west side of the entrance to the canal above the lock was removed for a length of about 70 feet, and the pier sheeted inside with plank. A quantity of concrete was also placed in the bottom of it to prevent the water from getting underneath, and the filling again put in. This pier has always been a source of expense and annoyance, owing to the tilling, which consists partly of sand and gravel, being continually washed out of it. This not only rendered it necessary for the pier to be refilled annually, but also seriously interfered with the adjoining mill, as the canal for the escape of water from the wheel was being continually obstructed with this material, which rendered cleaning it out necessary at short intervals. It has now, however, been repaired in such a manner as will prevent this annoyance in the future.
The retaining wall on the east side, at the upper end of the lock, was also sheeted with close-jointed plank I.1,- inches in thickness. This was rendered necessary in order to pre- vent the water from working through to the back of the lock wall, which would be liable to seriously injure the works.
The pier on the west side of the dam was also refilled with stone and gravel. These works are now, therefore, in a good state of repair.
The following are the Lockmasters' returns of the lockages made at the different locks during the present year :
1.5
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
Balsam River Lock — 257 steamboats, 121 scows, 50 rafts, 128,500 saw logs, and 3,604 pieces of square timber.
Lindsay Lock — 200 steamboats, 159 scows, 280 rafts and cribs of timber. Port Calling Lock — 993 steamboats, 103 scows, 586 small boats, and 273 rafts. Mary's and Fairy Lakes' Lock — 302 steamboats, 46 small boats, and 10 scows. Young's Point Lock — 364 steamboats, 158 scows, and 274 rafts.
DES JOACHIM'S RAPIDS BRIDGE.
A re-vote of $4,000 was granted last session to meet one-fourth of the cost of a bridge and approaches thereto over the Ottawa River at Des Joachim's Rapids, on con- dition that one-half of such cost be provided by the Dominion of Canada, and the remainder by the Province of Quebec, and that in any event the Province of Ontario should not be called upon to pay more than the above sum. The plans for and construction of the bridge were also to be approved of by the Commissioner of Public Works. The plans were submitted during the past summer, and approved of; consequently the amount of the appropriation was placed to the credit of the Receiver-General at Ottawa. The bridge will consist of two 130 and two 105 feet spans of Burr truss, and one 70 and two 65 feet spans of Queen truss bridging, the whole resting on cribwork piers filled with stone. An appropriation of $250 was also granted last session, under similar conditions to the above, to meet one-fourth the cost of repairs to bridge across the Ottawa River at Portage du Fort. The appropriation, however, has not yet been applied for ; consequently it is not likely the repairs have been made, and the sum voted, therefore, remains intact for re-vote in 1882.
SURVEYS AND INSPECTIONS.
During the present year several works of this description have been attended to in various parts of the Province, amongst the most important being the following : —
A survey was made in September last, at the village of Maganetawan, in order to ascertain the nature and cost of the improvements which it would be necessary to make at this point, so as to enable a steamer to ply between the foot of Ah-Mic Lake and Burk's Falls, a distance of about 38 miles. At present there is a small steamer plying between Maganetawan and the above-mentioned Falls, which are situated about 26 miles further up the stream ; but the settlers in the locality are very desirous of having the navigation extended to the foot of Ah-Mic Lake, a further distance of about 12 miles. This would enable a steamer to connect with the stages on the Northern road, and a por- tion of the supplies required could then be brought in from Parry Sound, which would form a competing point with Rosseau, and consequently have a tendency to lessen the charges on freight.
The Falls at Maganetawan are about 13 feet in height, and in order to extend the navigation to the point above-mentioned it would be necessary to construct a lock and dam at the village and a stop-log dam at the outlet of the lake ; but as a considerable quantity of rock blasting would also be required in connection with these works, they are likely to be expensive. Plans, however, are now being prepared, so as to enable an esti- mate, of the cost to be made.
Since the construction of the lock which enables a steamer to navigate Mary's, Fairy and Vernon Lakes, the settlers living in the neighbourhood of Peninsula Lake have been extremely anxious to have it added to the chain of navigation ; and in order to ascertain the practicability and also the cost of construction of a navigable channel into this lake, I have recently had a survey made of the creek which at present forms its outlet. It was ascertained that the difference of level between Fairy and Peninsula Lakes is only about 15 inches, and also that the creek is at times navigable for small boats, but as its course is exceedingly tortuous it could only be utilized in places for a steamboat channel. In order, therefore, to enable a steamer to pass from Fairy into Peninsula Lake, it would be necessary to excavate a channel almost the entire distance between them, and as this is about 4,612 feet, the cost of the work would be considerable. There is no doubt
16
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
but this improvement would be of great service to the settlers who reside in the neigh- bourhood of Peninsula Lake, but it is questionable whether the benefits which would be derived would warrant the expenditure of the amount which would be required to com- plete the work.
An examination of Lakes Sinicoe and Couchiching has also been made during the present year by Mr. A. G. Cavana, Provincial Land Surveyor, with a view of ascertaining the quantity of land bordering on the shores of these lakes which would be reclaimed by making such improvements as would prevent the water from rising above low water yf the present year, and also the amount which would be reclaimed by lowering the surface of these lakes 2 feet below the low-water mark above mentioned.
Mr. Cavana reports that in the first instance there would be about 11,710 acres reclaimed, and in the second 22,470, or very nearly double the amount, and adds that the above estimate includes but little of the open marsh along the Holland River, 7,00D acres of which would be reclaimed by lowering Lake Simcoe 5 feet below iow water. He is of the opinion, however, that it would not be advisable to lower the water more than 6 inches below the low-water mark of October in the present year, as by keeping it at this level the mills would be but little interfered with, navigation would not be impeded, and the surface of Lake Simcoe would be lowered 3 feet below flood- water. In order to regulate the water to the height above mentioned, Mr. Cavana recommends that the outlets of the lakes be enlarged, and dams constructed with sluices in them sufficient in area for the escape of the flood-water within a reasonable time, and estimates the cost of these works at about $22,466.
Taking into account the quantity of land which would be reclaimed by these improve- ments, the subject appears to be worthy of careful consideration at the coming session of the Legislature.
DRAINAGE WORKS.
The drainage of swamp lands is still being proceeded with by the different munici- palities throughout the Province under the "Ontario Municipal Drainage Aid Act," and during the present year applications have been made and aid granted to the following Townships, viz. : Brooke, Malahide, Ekfrid, Morris, Willoughby, Raleigh, Howard, Rochester, Metcalf, Plyrupton, Dunwich, Brant, Ops, Tilbury East, Dawn, Melancthon, Southwold and Warwick.
EXTENSION OF RAILWAYS IN 1881.
The extension of railways throughout the Province has been vigorously prosecuted during the present year. The details of the works on the several lines in construction, so far as known, are as follows : —
Stratford and Huron Railway.
Construction work was resumed on this railway about the 1st May last, and since then the track has been laid to the terminus at Wiarton, a distance of about 70 miles. The total length of the extension from Listowel to Wiarton is about 78 miles, 46 <i which, extending to the village of Chesley, were completed and opened for traffic about the 15th October. In addition to the above, I am informed that about 15 miles have been ballasted north of Chesley, the stations, with the exception of two, all com- pleted, and the line supplied with telegraph. It is expected that the entire line will be completed and opened for traffic about 1st July next.
Georgian Bay and Wellington Railway.
The construction of this railway was commenced during the summer of 1879, and the work progressed steadily until about 1st November of the present year, when it was com- pleted and opened for traffic. The line extends from a short distance north of Palmerston station (where it has a junction witli the Stratford and Huron) to the village of Durham,
17
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
a distance of about 26 miles. The Port Dover and Lake Huron, Stratford and Huron, and Georgian Bay and Wellington Railways are, I am informed, incorporated into one Company, known as the Grand Trunk, Georgian Bay and Lake Erie Railway, and are operated by the Grand Trunk as the Georgian Bay and Lake Erie division of their system.
Toronto and Ottawa Railway.
This railway has not been previously reported on, the construction of it having been commenced during the present year. It is intended for a through line from Toronto to Ottawa, where it will connect with existing railways to the seaboard. In the construc- tion of the line, I am informed, the present scheme is to utilize the Toronto and Nipissing Railway from Toronto to Wick; then to build a link, 6 J miles in length, connecting Wick with Manilla, on the Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway, which will then be utilized to Lindsay. From Lindsay to Omemee the Midland will be used, and from this point a link 14 miles in length will be built to Peterboro', where the main line proper of the Toronto and Ottawa will commence. The location survey has been completed from Peterboro' to Casselman (or "High Falls") on the Canada Atlantic Railway, a distance of about 182 miles. The line touches the villages of Ashburnham, Norwood, Havelock, Marmora, Madoc, Bridgewater, Arden, Sharbot Lake, Maberly, Perth, Franktown, Manotick, Duncansville, Embrun and Casselman, but it is intended to utilize the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway from Manotick to Ottawa.
Construction work is at present being carried on between Maberly and Perth by the Company, and the portion between Madoc and Bridgewater, a distance of about 9 miles, is under contract, and is to be completed ready for the ties by the 1st February, 1882. Con- struction work is also expected to commence immediately upon the portions of the line extending from Wick to Manilla, and from Omemee to Peterboro'.
Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie Railway.
The construction of this railway has been commenced during the present year. The line has been located from Sault Ste. Marie to Spanish River, a distance of about 125 miles, and will continue eastward (crossing French River at Contin Island) to Bracebridge, and thence to Kirkfield, on the Toronto and Nipissing Railway, from which point connec- tion can be made witli the Toronto and Ottawa. The distance from Sault Ste. Marie to Bracebridge is 345, and from Bracebridge to Kirktieid about 40, making the total leDgth of the railway about 385 miles.
Construction works were commenced some time ago near Algoma Mills, and I under- stand that about 19 miles of clearing and a considerable quantity of grading has already been done, and that it is the intention to proceed with the work continuously throughout the winter.
Prince Edward Cvunty Railway.
During the present year this railway have moved their station building and extended their line from the outskirt of the town of Picton to the East Lake Road, a distance of 2,333 feet, or T4„4(T of a mile. This will be a great convenience, and is an improvement which will be fully appreciated by the travelling public in this section.
Napanee, Tamworth and Quebec Railway.
This Company was organized in January, 1879, but construction work was not com- menced until July of the present year. The line commences at Napanee and extends northward, following the Napanee River to Yarker ; from thence it continues to Tam- worth, the total distance being about 30 miles. I am given to understand that the grading has been completed, and the necessary bridges, culverts, cattle-guards, etc., nearly all constructed, but no iron has yet been laid. It is, however, the intention to commence track-laying and ballasting early in the spring, and it is expeced that the line will be com-
18
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
pleted and opened for traffic before the close of 1882. During the coming summer the Company intend to extend the line northward from Tamworth, a distance of about 20 miles, where it will connect with the Toronto and Ottawa Railway somewhere in the neigbourhood of Arden.
Ontario and Quebec Railway.
The charter of this Company was procured from the Dominion Parliament at its last session, and work has been commenced during the present year. The railway will extend from Toronto to Carleton Place, cia Peterboro' and Perth, the distance being about 215 miles, of which 1 am informed about •">•"> miles have been already located, but construction work has not yet been commenced. It is expected, however, that the entire line will be completed and opened for traffic in about two years. It is the intention to connect with the Credit Valley, Great Western, and other railways west of Toronto, and with the Canadian Pacific, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental, and South-Eastern Railways, east of Carleton Place.
Canada Atlantic Railway.
This railway was formerly known as the Montreal and City of Ottawa Junction- Railway, the construction of which was commenced in 1873. During that year a con- siderable quantity of grading and fencing was done, and a number of culverts, cattle guards, &c, constructed. The work was then discontinued, and was not resumed until the month of April of the present year, but has since been vigorously prosecuted.
The road will have a length of about 66 miles within the Province of Ontario, and will continue through the Province of Quebec (crossing the St. Law rence River at Coteau Landing) to somewhere in the neighl iourhood of Rouse's Point, where it will connect with the American system of railways. The line, however, is not definitely located south of the St. Lawrence, but it is expected that the total length will be about 130 miles. The rails are at present laid continuously from Coteau Landing station on the Grand Trunk Railway to Casselman, being a distance of about 50 miles ; they are of steel, weighing 56 lbs. to the lineal yard, and are fastened at the joints with fish-plates and bolts, which are secured with "Atwood's patent slotted nuts."
The country traversed by this railway is inclined to be flat, and consequently the curves are few and easy, and the grades extremely favourable ; the maximum grade going west being only 40, and going east only 30 feet to the mile.
The bridges, culverts and cattle-guards which have been constructed are built of iron and stone, and I am informed that it is the intention to have no wooden structures on the line. The whole character of the work so far executed is good, and to all appear- ances when completed this will be one of the best constructed railways in the Province.
Bay of Quinte Railway.
This railway received its charter from the Dominion Government in March of the present year, and construction work was commenced on the 13th June. The line com- mences at the steamboat wharf at Deseronto, on the Bay of Quinte, and terminates at the Grand Trunk Railway on Lot No. 1, in the 2nd Concession of the Township of Rich- mond, the total length being 3i miles. It is now fully completed, and was opened for traffic on the 12th December, and is operated by the Bay of Quinte Railway and Navi- gation Company.
Credit Valley Railway.
This railway was completed from Toronto to Ingersoll in 1879. During the present year an extension has been made from Ingersoll to St. Thomas, a distance of 24.7 miles, and I am informed that extensive improvements, such as re-ballasting, providing addi- tional siding accommodation, stations, store and grain warehouses, &c, have been made upon the portions previously constructed. The Company have also been engaged in the construction of cribbing and filling in their water lot at the foot of John street, Toronto,
19
45 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 7). A. 1882
and I understand it is the intention to construct an elevator at this point at an early date. The entire railway, as originally projected, is now, therefore, completed and open for traffic.
Kingston and Pembroke Railway.
The construction of this railway was commenced in 1873, and it was completed and opened for traffic from Kingston to the Mississippi River in 1877, the total length being 60.32 miles. During the present year construction works have been again proceeded with on an extension of the line to the Clyde River, a distance of about 16 miles, of which I am informed about 12 miles are graded, 10i miles of track laid, and 10 miles ballasted and ready for inspection.lt is expected that the entire 16 miles will be completed about the 1st June, 1882.
Canada Central Railway.
This railway may now be considered a portion of the Canadian Pacific. Construction works, I understand, have been vigorously prosecuted during the present year, but the details could not be obtained in time to be included in this report.
Mileage of Railways.
The following revised statement to the close of 1881 gives in detail the mileage on each railway in Ontario, distinguishing between those constructed prior to and after Confederation :
