Excerpt from Historical and Other Papers and Documents Illustrative of the Educational System of Ontario, Forming an Appendix to the Annual Report of the Minister of Education, 1911, Vol. 4
This is one of the most important volumes of this Series of Historical Papers and Documents illustrative of the Educational System of Upper Canada and Ontario, if the number of Papers and Documents included in it might be taken as an example, as it contains three hundred and forty of these Papers and Documents.
It contains also a number of Drafts of School Bills for the improvement of the Public and Grammar Schools of Ontario, - some of which were passed by the Legislature, and some of which were withdrawn, as it was not considered expedient to pass Government measures, relating to Education, by a bare majority, - the object being to get as unanimous an expression of opinion as possible on such measures by the Legislature. I had, as a precaution, submitted each of the measures presented to the Legislature to a free discussion and vote at the various County Conventions that I had held, so as to he sure that it was acceptable to the majority of those who attended these conventions.
In this Volume will be found a final settlement of the troublesome Separate School question, as it was finally incorporated in the Confederation Act of 1865, after a good deal of discussion.
Military Drill was established in the High and Public Schools as part of their procedure and equipment.
The Educational Depository Question occupied a good deal of attention and was finally settled by its entire management being subjected to a most searching inquiry by Mr. James Brown, a skilful accountant, being appointed to investigate its affairs and management.
The account of Lord and Lady Dufferin's farewell visit to the several Educational Institutions will be read with a good deal of interest, as also will that of the extended visit to the various educating Countries of Europe of the Chief Superintendent of Education in 1866.
A good deal was done with a view to the Suppression of Truancy and Juvenile Crime; and Industrial Schools were established in the Cities and Towns of the Province with that view.
Full details are given of our very successful exhibit of Canadian School Material and operations at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876.
