MONTREAL : McQueen «Sr= Corneil, Printers and Publishers. 1886. ' "Ni 'J'hi An THE GOVEUNING H()i)Y CONSISTS OK 'J'hrec Commissioners ;ip])3r)o (afterwards reduced to S300) tijwards the support of the Si. George's School under their coniiol. 'rhough unwilling to countenance the policy of subsidizing separate or denominational schools, the Commissioners nevertheless acknowledged in this case the equity of the claim, as the St. Ge.-rge's School, being situated in the St. Antoine Ward, was partially supi)lying an educational want which tney had hitherto been unable to overtake. The reciuesl was acceded to on condition t'^at the school adopted the course of study prescribed by the Board, and made the usual monthly returns of attendi.nce. It is i.itended, however, to discontinue this grant as soon as the new school on Berthelet Street is ready for occupa- tion. On the annexation of the outlying municii)ality of Hochelaga as a ward to the city, negotiations were opened by the Dissentient Trustees of thai place with the view of handing over to the Commissioners cheir Protestant school, with its assets and liabilities. Tlie Board accepted the responsibility, and the deed of transfer was ratified in April, 1884. All the schools enumerated :-.bove form part and parcel of the Common School System of the city. A child of average ability completes the course of study in such a school at from 13 to 14 years of age. Ninety-two per i \\ 1 rent, of the children in attendatux- leave school hjfore attaining 13 years of* age, partly through stress of poverty, partly throu^^h inijjerfect appreciation of the advantages of education. It is clear, therefore, that every efibrt must be made to give helore that time, the rudiments of an Knglish education. But ii. se-, was aciiieved in the iiistif ition o' the High Schools. The Commissioners had long felt that it would be their duty, so soon as a sufficient a" 'mentation to their funds should be secured, to complete the public educational system of the city by founding two High Schools, one for boys and another for girls. While discussing the possibility of thus extending dieir work, especially as to ways and means, they were approached by the Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning (McGill University) v.ith a proposal foi the transfer of tiie High School ol Montreal to the care of the Board. After some deliberation it was resolved to accept the charge, and on September ist, 1870, the High School was incorporated into the Commissioners' system. The Board purchased from the Institution their valuable property known as Burnside Hall, including a large play-ground, for $24,000, and built on a l>ortion of the latter, at a cost of 86,000, a new Preparatory School. When the High School was transferred to the Board, there were i- the preparatory class only 20 boys. It was felt that upon such a foundation it would be impossible to build up a really prosperous school. The Board therefore decided upon the establishment of a Preparatory High School, in which younger boys might be trained without contact with the older pupils. The school wasopened in September, 1870, with 160 scholars. The success of its career has been unbroken. It now numbers about 250 pupils, being filled to its utmost capacity. But the provision for higher education, so far made, had regard to one- half of the community only. Though powers for its establishment had been conferred by law, the Commissioners were not able to take any steps towards the establishment of a High School for girls previous to the year 1875. In thi.i year two houses on Metcalfe Street were leased and fitted up for this purpose. The school was opened in September, 1875, and has proved eminently successful. There are now in attendance over 250 girls. Conscious, however, that such provision could only be tempcrary, the Board purchased a hirgf piece of land in an eligible locality on F'eel, Burnside and Metcalfe Streets. Much consideration was given to the (juestion of the plans to be adoj)ted. It was hrally thought desirable, on the score of convenience and economy, to erect on the same site a building which, while maintaining strict separation of the schools, should accommodate the High School for Girls, the High School for Boys, and the offices of the Board. Plans were prepared and approved, and in August, 1876, building commenced. The schools were formally opened on May 21st, 1878, in the presence of a large gathering of prominent citizens. In fanuary, 1C83, the old High School property, on which stood the Preparatory School and Burnside Hall, occupied by the Senior School, was sold to tiieFraser Institute for the sum of $30,100. The Board, therefore, determined to construct (m the Peel, Burnside and Metcalfe Street i)roperty a building, adjoinmg the new High Sch(;()ls, capable of accommodating the pupils of the above-mentioned institutions. In July, 1883, tenders were accepted, and during the following year the building was erected, at a cost of !|28,ooo— a building which, in respect of light, heat, ventilaiien and other sanitary arrangements, ranks, perhaps, first among the schools of the Board, and will compare favorably with any school in the Dominion. Thus, in a building virtually one, are comprised four schools, the High School for Boys, the High School for Girls, the Preparatory High School and the Senior School, entirely distinct and completely separated, the average attendance at which numbers nearly 800 pupils . Appended is a tabular statement showing the number and names of the different schools, the date of foundation, the number of pupils they are capable of accommodating, and the average number in attendance at each during the year ending June, 1885. Course or Instrlh rio\'. As appears from the foregoing sketch, the schools that came under con- trol of the Board were --^tablished under various inHuences, and being no ■ part of a general scheme, had no mutual relations. For many years they differed from each other in organization, in discipline, in tlie subjects taught, in the modes of teaching adopted, and in the text-books used. From this state of affairs, arising naturally, almost necessarily, from pre-existing con- ditions, but quite incompatible with unity of action in schools, it resulted that no one could form a clear conception of the manner in which educational work was done in Montreal ; and the Commissioners themselves were unable At^ to attain that intimate knowledge of the condition, progress and acquirements of their schools which they desrred to guide them in the right adjustment of the important interests entrusted to their management. To the task of pre- paring a comprehensive and abiding system of organization and instruction, the Board, aided by the Inspector, addressed itself in the year 1871. The matter involved the consideration of a large number of subsidiary topics. The following subjects came directly under review : — 'I'he time that pupils in this city are able to remain in school ; the extent of attainment that may be hoped for before pupils leave ; the order in which different branches of study should be introduced ; the time to be devoted to each, and the organization of schools, which, with proper regard to economy, should secure the best results. From a careful review of these circumstances the Board has '..een led to the conclusion that the Common Schools cannot economically provide for a longer course of study than can be completed by a diligent child in five years* — a course begun at from 7 to 8 years and completed at from 12 to 13. Pupils older than 13 are indeed in attendance at the Common Schools, but they are few in liumber, and certainly are not more advanced than they should have been at 13. In adjusting a course of study for pupils up to the age referred to, certain subjects of primary importance claimed chief attention. These were the correct use of language in its spoken and written forms — English first of all, but French as far as possible, — and the right keeping of accounts ; that is to say, reading, writing, spelling, grammar in its practical aspects, and arithmetic, including the rudiments of book-keeping. It was thoujjht, how- ever, very desirable that more than this should be done. Scarcely second in importance to the subjects already enumerated are gtography, history and object lessons, including the elements of natural science. Moreover, morals should be cultivated, not only by example and right discipline, but by precept also— through instruction in scripture, in the elements of morality, and in so much of the principles of the Canadian constitution and law as shall cause intelligent children to comprehend their relations to the State and to act the part of good citizens. Singing also and drawing should Ix; intro- duced, that the esthetic, as well as the intellectual and moral nature may receive culture. As the best arrangement for securing the end proposed, five courses of study were prepared, corresponding to the five successive years for which the Common Schools were intended to provide. These courses of study are detailed in the limit tables which follow. To correspond with this programme of study, the pupils in each school are divided into five grades, denominated * 'I'his does not iiirluile the preliminary iuitnutioii , Lhielly ural, iji' en In li»N°-duy (I'reparatory) elaiMi' 16 I Primary, isl and 2nd years : Intermediate, ist and ^nd years; and Senior. An infant class, called Preparatory, was siihserjiiently added to this course for the reception of little children from 5 to 7 years. 'I'he daily session in this class is for the forenoon only, from nine to twelve, and the instruction given is almost entirely oral. It is, in fact, a modified Kindergarten, In explana- tion of the limit tables, it is unnecessary to say more than that the Commis- sioners regard them as a minimum, not a muxinnmi standard, and that the whole course is imperative upon all pupils, with the single exception of Latin. Although, for economical reasons, the Common School curriculum was limited to a five years course, the Hoard did not overlook the case of those who. on compleling such a course, might desire further op|Jortunities of study. To meet this demand, the Commissioners opei^ed in a central locality the so- called Senior School. Into this school are tlrafted, year by year, all scholars who, having successfully completed the Common .School course, desire to continue t,heir education. Its course of study is c.onsecjuently advanced, and covers, t\vo years, comprising Mathematics, Science, Literature and Com- mercial branches, and differing from that of the High School chiefly in the exclusion of the classics. The limit tables appended set forth the subjects taught in the several classes, the time devoted to each sui)ject, and the text- books used in the school. In the hope of further encouraging the sons and daughters of the poorer classes to avail themselves of the benefits of a higher education, the Board instituted " Commissioners' scholarships." By this scheme the Commis- sioners, once a year, promote into the High Schools from the highest classes of the Common Schools, the most advanced of the boys and girls, and ])ei-mit them to complete their education free of charge. Admission on these scholarships is by examination ; but as the luimber of scholarships is not limited, the examination is not competitive, but all who attain the recjuisite number of marks may win for themselves the privilege. I'he Board has also made such arrangements with the authorities of McGill University, as that thase scholars, ■'" they so desire, may, in due time, go up to the University, also free of charge. Thus, in the city of Montreal, there is no Protestant boy or girl of promise, no matter how humble in life or however straitened in their circumstances the parents may be, who may not obtain free, and yet with honor, an education equal in all res])ects, because gained at the same institutions, to that which is given to the sons ;aul daughters of the wealthy. The High Schools for girls and boys i)rovide a complete educadon in all branches, elementary and advanced In this respect they differ from most schools of the same name both in Canada and the United States. * » f 1 I * » f 1 tl The High School for Ciirls is divided into four dejjartments, viz.:— A Preparatory Department extending through two years. A Junior Department extending through three years. A Senior Department extending through three years. Advanced classes providing for two years work. All subjects of study belonging to the Preparatory and Junior Depart- ments are imperative, with the exception of Latin and Instrumental Music. Subjects of study in the Senior Department are divided into Ordinary, Honor and Optional. F.very pupil must follow the Ordinary course, and take in addition at least two Honor courses in each year, one of which shall be a language and one some other branch of study. Optional subjects, as their name implies, may be taken or declined. Provision for advanced classes leading up to the higher examinations for women in the McGill University is made with special reference to the wishes of the pupils entering and to the subjects announced in the College calendar. The course of instruction in the High School for Boys includes the I^atiu, Greek, English, French and German languages, Geography and History, Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane and SoUd Geometry, Mensuration, Plane Trigonometry with the use of Logarithms, and the elements of Chemistry and Botany, Writing and Accounts, Drilling and Gymnastics. Excepting Greek, which is optional, all pupils of the school are required to pursue the same course until their promotion to the Fifth Form. In the Fifth and Sixth, there is a divergence in respect to Classics and Mathematics, a choice being offered of taking either a Classical or Science cdurse, on the understanding that pupils must follow all the subjects -t down in the curriculum of the section in which they are enrolled, with a view to entrance upon either the course in Arts or that in Science of the University. The complete course in the Boys' High School covers eight years, including the preliminary training in the Preparatory High School. The work of this department, covering four years, is carried on in a detached schoolhouse, separation of young boys from their elders being considered desirable . By arrangement with McGill University, all pupils of the Sixth Form (Boys) and the Tiiird Senior Form (Girls) are submitted at the close of the scholastic year to the University School Examinations, and on the result of these examinations successful candidates receive from the University the certificate of A. A. (Associate in \rts). Those who gain this certificate are admitted to the University without undergoing the usual Matriculation Examination. li isubioined appendices give < lassified lists of the subjects taught in the several schools '.-nder the control of the Board, the time devoted to each and the text-books used. KlNANCIAL. The operations of the Board, since its institution, have extended over a period of nearly forty years. Kntering upon its worl- with limited n.sources, prosecuting it for 22 years with like narrow means, \hc results were long inadequate to the wants of that portion of the i)0|)ulation in whote interest the Protestant Commissioners were originally appointed. They commenced operations without a school-house, without a competent available teacher, and, for the most part, without public symiiathy. From 1847 to 1869 the revenue of the Bc^ard was derived from two sources — an allowance from the City Council and a grant from the Provincial Government, the City Council i>eing bound to i)ay an amount equal to three times the Government grant. The school fees, " not to exceed in any case 5 cents a week," were a per- quisite of the master. From 1846 to 1 861 the annual receipts of the Board from the above mentioned sources, scarcely averaged .1^1,200. From 1861 to 1867 the average income was .1?i,8io. With this revenue the Commis- sioners were expected to build school-houses, and administer an educational system sufficient in character and extent to meet the demands of the Protestant population of Montreal. With 1868, however, came the dawning ofa brighter day. The Board had long felt the injustice to the Protestants cf Montreal of the mode of the'appropriation of grants for ])ul)lic schools, which prevailed. By this mode, division of the tax between the two Boards, Roman Catho'' .md Protestant, was made on the relative numbers of the Roman Catholic and Protestant populations, and not, as in Ujiper Canada, on the religious persuasion of the tax-payers. The Board, judging that the Act of Confederation conferred on the Protestants of Montreal, a claim to all monies for school purposes derived by taxation from Protestant rate-jjayers, resolved to press their view upon the Provincial Government during the session of 1868. This view, it is just to state, was maintained by the Roman Catholic Bot.rd of Montreal, the members of which joined with the Protestant Board in urging its adoption upon the Government. The Government saw fit to reject for the time being this united appeal ; but pledged itselt to an additional grant for the year 1868, to be divided as formerly on the basis of pojjulation, and to the introduction of a measure at the next Legislative Session in accordance with the guarantees of the " British North America At;t." »3 This promise was faithfully redeemed and the new basis of taxation, which was at the rate of one-twentieth of one per cent., gave the Protestant Board in 1869 an income of -f 16,643. 66 ♦•'^n^ ^'^y tax, which with the Govern- ment grant of .*2,77 1 . 8q, gave a (otal income of . 1(19,41 5.55. It was not long, however, before it became ajjjjarent that this increased revenue was quite inadecjuate to meet the wants of the Protestant jjopulation of the City. Accordingly the Legislature at its session 1870-71 authorized an increase of the school-tax of Montreal, fixing the rate at one-tenth of a cent in the dollar, on the assessed value of all rateable property. This rate yielded for the vear 1871. !*<22. 816.95 which together with .*2, 7 7 1.89 received from the Provin- cial CNmimon School Fund, made the income of the Board (say) .S/5,588. Two vears' trial made it evident that this increase was again in^iufficient, the Commissioners maintaining the opinion that, where (as in Montreal) the school tax is general, the school provision should be adequate. In 1872 the two Hoards, Roman Catholic and Protestant, again united in pressing ui)on the Government, the Ci^y authorities and tax-payers, their just claims for in- creased taxation. This plea for further augmentation resulted in the doubling of the school-tax, the rate being raised from one-tenth to one-fifth of a cent. This rate of one five-hundredth part of a dollar per annum on all rateable pro- perty, which still remains the school-tax of Montreal, has yielded the Protestant Board an annual income varying from $64,000 to .«7 7,000, according to the value of i)roperty. IMeas for further augmentation have since that time been unsuccessfully urged. Coiiseciuently the Commissioners are still unable to claim that adecjuate school accommodation within reasonable distances has yet been provided in all wards of the city. As the School Boards of Montreal have no power to levy a special tax for the purchase of sites and the construction of school-houses, and as these cannot be acquired out of the ordinary revenues without special arrange- ment, the following provisions have been made. The Act 32 Vic., Cap. 16, Section 35, authorizes '• the School Commis- sioners of the cities of Quebec and Montreal, during the next twenty years from the date of the Act (1869), to lay aside annually a portion of their revenues, not exceeding one-fourth, for the purchase of lots, and for the construction of School-houses." By this Act and its subsequent amendments, the Protestant Board is emiiowered to raise loans for the above-mentioned purposes, and to transfer, as security for such.loans, a part of their annual claims for School-ta.v , r, the Corporation. 'I'hese loans are to be raised by issuing debentures of not less than $100 each, redeemable in 20 and 30 years, and the portion of revenue thus set aside annually is applied to the formation of a sinking fund for the redemption of sucr. debentures. As soon as the 14 Commissioners liavc determined to set aside any portion of their income (within the above limitations) in this way, and have obtained the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council for the purpose, they are bound tx) notify the City Treasurer, whose duty it then is, on the presentation to him of the bonds, to acknowledge specification thereof, and thereafter to retain from year to year, on behalf of the Corporation, a portion of the School-tax accruing to the Board, sutiticient to jniy the interest on the bonds, and to create a sinking fund for their redemption. On the amounts thus retainetl to create a sinking fund, the City 'I'reasurer allows the Commissioners interest at 6 per cent, per annum, and becomes responsible to tiie holders of the bonds for their redemjjtion at maturitv. In virtue of the above provision, the Hoard has issued at different times, dei)entures to the amount of $300,000, maturing in 20 and 30 years, 'i'he interest and sinking fund recpiired to meet the claims on these bonds, and which is deducted annually from the School tax is $24,849.48. .\s this amount is eijual to a fourth part of the total income of the Board from all sources, the Commissioners have no power to issue more debentures. Conseiiuently, unless fresh provisions are made, the work of building must in future be undertaken slowly and with great caution. 'I'he outlay on the Berthelet Street .School which is now in ( ourse of erection, at a cost of about $40,000. must be defrayed out of the ordinary revenues, by economical administration extending over some years. i'ees, as already stated, were originally a perquisite of the teacher. Previously to 1869 teachers' enK)luments were grossly inadequate a.nd even l)recarious. In this year it was resolved to ail()|)l a more liberal scale of salaries (see regulations), and school fees became part of the ordinary revenue of the Board. In respect of fees, the Board has always been of opinion that ' education, for which a small or moderate charge is made, is morea])])reciated by the community, than that which is entirely free. In order to enforce this jirinciple, but at the same time to place education within the reach of all. fees ill the Common .Schools were fixed at the nominal sum of 20 cents per month for the first child, and 10 cents per nu)nth, for each additional child from the same family. The Board would have been glad to have maintained this scale, and regret that the inadequacy of their inc-,me to meet expenditure has twice compelled them to raise it : First, in 1S80, when the fee in whole-day classes was fixed at 40 cents for the first pupil, and at 70 cents for two or more from the same family : Second, in 1882, when it was resolved to raise the charge to 50 cents per month per pupil, except that all c:hildren from the same family after the second should be admitted free. In both cases the fee in half-day (Preparatory) classes was fixed at half the full fee. In the same t f IS "» way, and for the same reasons the fee of the Senior School, originally fixed at 81.00 ])er month, was increased to ij^s.oo in 1882. In thus increasing capita- tion fees, the Board took precautions that the cost of Eiementa.iy Education should not be too severe a tax upon the resources of a family, by admitting all after the second child free It further determined that inability to pay even this moderate sum, should not be the means of excluding children from school privileges. Accordingly ai)i)lications for free admission to school on the plea of poverty, when recommended by reliable persons, are never refused. Thus the increase of Common School f«^es, while it has tangibly augmented the revenue of the Board, has resulted also, for one or other of the above-mentioned reasons, in the free education of above one-sixth of the inii)ils in attendance. With regard to the High Schools the principle lo which the Board has steadfastly adhered is this : — that every Protestant child in the city has an ecjuitable and legal claim to an expenditure on his education of an tHjual share of the amount provided by taxation for the maintenance of sc;hools. Schools should be provided \vliere, if fees be demanded at all, they should be so moderate as lliat none should be excluded by i)0verty. But those tax-i)ayers who desire for their children an edu<:ation higher and more costly than that demanded by the cunniuniiy in g.-neral, should have access to it in schools of different character. ( )n these ((msideratious the Hoard endeavoured to fix the fees charged in the High Schools for Boys and Girls at such a rate- that, after making an allowance per capita from city school-tax equal to that expended [ler capita on pupils in the Common Schools, the additional cost of education should be defrayed from higher fees. This rate of fees, which varies from S5.00 to $15.00 a ijuarter according to ('lass, for many years pro- duced an income corresponding to the expectations of the Board ; but the growing popularity of the inslilutions. by increasing the attendance, has cheapened the cost of education per pupil, so that at the present time the High Schools have becxmie virtually self-supporting.

These are the High School of Montreal, the Prei)arat()ry High School, the High School for Girls, the Senior School and the Common Schools. 'I'he work i>roi>er to each year of the course in each School is defined in the Limit Tables appended to these regulations. II. — SCHOOL OFFICERS. School Officers are — a Superintendent, Head Masters or Mistresses, Assistant Teachers, Si)ecial Teachers and Caretakers. III. — THE SUPERINTENDENT, To the Superintendent is committed the tas^k of securing the proper grading and harmonious working of the Schools as part of a general system. He must visit each school monthly, except in December, May and June, for the purpose of advising with teachers in regard to any matters on which they wish to consult him ; of examining any class in any portion of its work ; of seeing that school records are properly kept ; and, generally, of inquiring into and making suggestions for the improvement of any part of school work or discipline. He must furnish a monthly re[jort to the Board of Commis- sioners, and act as Secretary to the Board. IV -HEAD MASTERS AND MISTRESSES. Every school is under the immediate control of a Head Master or Head Mistress whose duty it is to arrange and oversee the course of instruction in it ; to maintain with justice, kindness and discretion, efficient discipline ; to secure the cheerful and faithful co-operation of assistant teachers; to enforce upon caretakers due attention to their duties : and to observe, and cause to be observed by pupils and subordinates in office, the Regulations of the Board. In order to do this he shall from time to time read to the assembled school such regulations as pupils ought to know. It shall he the duty of the Head Master or Mistress to report to the Suj^cr- intendent any case of inattention to duty on the part of a suborduKitc, unless by previous remonstrance he shall have secured immediate reformation. Should the Superintendent fail to secure amendment, he shall report to the Board. The Head Master or Mistress must carefully keep the register of progress of pupils and the register of attendance of teachers. He must prepare hi:i monthly report for the Board and send it to the Superintendent not later than the second day of the month following. He must take an inventory efjTJOveables in his school and send a copy of it to the Superintendent's office. This inventory must be compared from time to time with the move- ables actually in the sehool, and must be renewed during the month of June of each year. The Home Work assigned to pupils must be carefully supervised by the Head Master or Mistress, so that it may not e.vceed in amount the- pro- visions of the Limit Tables. I V. — A.SSJSTANT TEACHERS. Assistant Teachers are responsible for the discharge of the duties assigned them in thfcse Regulations, and by the Time Table of the School, and for the progress and good order of each scholar in their respective classes. They are expected to bear cheerfully their share of all extra duties, and to co-operate heartily with others for the success of the school. Each teacher must carefully keep and make up monthly the register of attendance of his class, must notify the Head Master or Mistress of any in- fringement of the regulations respecting fees or attendance, and must not enter a new name without receiving from him a legister number, nor drop a name without his concurrence. VI. — SPECIAI, TEACHERS. All such teachers as are employed in any school for a ])art of the time only are designated Special Teachers. They bear all the responsibilities and exercise all the powers of Assistant Teachers while in charge of any class ; but they are not required to keep a roll of pupils nor to perform any duties out of the hours of their attendance. They must be provided by the Head of the School with a list of the names of the pupils in each of their classes. The Board, however, reserves to itself the right of requiring from special teachers, when employed full time, all the duties of assistant teachers in some one, but not more than one, of the schools in which they are employed, B iS VII. — KNClACiKMENTS. N(. teacher is held to he engaged by the Hoard until ^hc subjoined form of engagement has been signed. Unless it be expressly stii)ulated in the engagement, no teacher is em- l)loyed to teach any particular class in any particular school, as the Board reserves .o itself the right to re-arrange the teaching staff of the various schools wiien and how it may deem best. The Board will not hereafter employ teachers who have not sufficient acquaintance with French, especially with its pronunciation, to enable them to teach creditably so much of that language as may be demanded by the I.imit-Table of their classes. All female teachers are expected to be able to teach plain sewing and cutting out. PrtOVIhCE or QutBBC. ' City o/ Montreal . S Pfofestant Board of School Commissioners of the City of Montreal.

Salaries in the High School of Montreal, High School for Girls, Prepa. ratory High School and Senior School are considered and determined individually by the Board ; but male teachers engaged at less than .f 1,000 of annual salary, and female teachers at less than ^400. will receive, if employed full time, regular annual increas ■ up to these amounts. In the Common Schools, Head Masters of Schools containing Senior Classes receive, from the time of engagement, .f 1,000 per annum ; Second Masters, .|!6oo per annum. Salaries of Head Mistresses are determined individually by the Board. Female tearhprs holding Elementary and Model School Diplomas re- ce've ^240 per annum on engagement, and, provided they ])rove themselves punctnal, faithful and eflicient, the Board will, on the recommendation of the Superintendent, raise their salaries annually in the month of September, so that during their second year of se 'xe they will receive .^260, during the third $2%o, and during the fourth S300. * Chapter \% C*nioliiiated statutes of Cant. -e- * h ihall be the duty of the School Commissioneri and TruKces ; I.

Tcac hers engaged on trial receive during the trial period of six months one dollar per day of actual teaching. The above scale, however, does not prevent the Board fiom engaging skilful and experenced Teachers at higher than the minimuiri rates, nor from augmenting their salaries, year by year, as it may determine ; nor from diminishing or withholding the augmentation in case of financial necessiiy. • IX. — ATTKNMANCK «)F I'KACHKK.S. Kach Head Master or Mistress and teacher must be in the school, and in readiness to discharge any duty that may be required, five minutes before the time of oj)ening of each session, and must remain until each member of his class has left the building.

This duty must be discharged in turn by all teachers, as directed by the Head Master or Mistress. A roll of attendance of teachers must be kept by the Head Master or Mistress, in which every instance of tardiness and absence shall be recorded, and from which the monthly report of attendance of teachers shall be made up. Permanent record of all sucli altsences and lateness shall be kej)t by the Superintendent, to be submitted to the Board in relation toevery proi)osed increase of salary. 'I'he Superintendent has power or no. at his discretion, to excuse the absence of a teacher from duty for a period not exceeding three days in a month, nor six days in a year. In case of longer absence through illness, a medical certificate must be sent to the Superintendent : and no cUnluction from the salary of the teacher will be made for the first twoA''l'< of u'.sence. When the illness exceeds two weeks, half salary will be paid for two months longer, at the end of which the Board will fill the situation. Should a teacher, dropped through ill-health, desire on recovery renewed employ- ment, his laims will be considered by the Board. The Superintendent shall make a'). UvXissarvjirrangements for carrying on the work of an absent teacher until "ijo ".e" I ineeting of the Board.

XVII. — EXEMr'lK)N.S, In the Common Schools children of persons in the employment of the Board are exemjjt from the payment of fees. In the .Senior and High Schools a discount of 50 per cent will be allowed them. Kxemj)tions from fees on the plea of poverty may be made by the Head Master or Mistress of any Common School with the knowledge and consent of any member of the Board or of the Sujierintendent, given in writing. f T ' XVIII. — TKXI-IIOOKS. Every pupil is required :o jiroi urc all su<:h text-i)ooks and other school reriuisites as are enumerated in the Limit 'I'able of the class to which he or she belongs, and none other. In cases of deserving indigence, the Superintendent may provide and lend, with due precautions for their proper preservation, text-books and other school requisites, reporting each case to the IJoard. i XIX. — SCHOOL HOURS. The school hours for each class in all the schools are defined in the Limit Tables, and are binding alike on teachers and pupils. i'he Flay-Grounds shall be opened at fifteen minutes before the opening of school in the morning. Arrangements must be so made as that a teacher shall be in attendance from the opening of the play-ground, to take charge in the intervals of school-work. School-rooms are to be opened as may be determined by the Head Master or MistresB. School doors shall be closefl at ten minutes past the time of opening of each session, after which no children shall be admitted to any class without the permission of the Head Master or Mistress except when, in col d or wet weather, the health of children would be endangered by being compelled to return home. FA-ery pupil who is late or absent at more than ten sessions of the school during one month, without satisfactory explanation by a parent or guardian^ or who leaves the school premises during any school session, without permis- sion of the teacher in charge, forfeits his place. •+ f f ^5 XXI. — INFKCTION. /• T 4- •+■ Children suffering from disgusting or infectious diseases, or living in houses or tenements where infectious disease prevails, must be kept at home by their parents, and, provided the fees be paid and the Head Master or Mistress be informed within five school days of the reason of their absence, their places in school will be kept for them. If parents living in an infected house send a child to school, the Head Master or Mistress shall send him home, and the place of the child is to be considered forfeited. In addition to such regulations bearing on contagious disease as may be issued from time to time by the Central Board of Health, the Board presr^^bes the following : — 1. In more serious diseases as measles, scarlet fever, small-pox, diph- theria, no pupil shall be allowed to come to school from a house where there is a case of such sickness, with or without medical authorization, nor shall the return of such pupil after the disease has departed be permitted, without a medical certificate declaring all risk of infection to be past, and until fifteen days following the disinfection of the premises. 2. In minc^ diseases, such as mumjjs, hooping-cough, ring-worm, a medical certificate is not insisted on. The attendance or return of a pupil may be determined by the Head Master or Mistress, after questioning the parents. 3. In all cases where children are detained from school or sent home under the first provision, the Head Master or Mistress must notify the Health Department of the City of the fact. A certificate signed by thai Department may then be accepted, when a medical attendant has not been called in. The forms of certificate, prescribed by the Board, must be kept in all schools for distribution to parents. 4. Head Masters and Mistresses shall exact, from time to time, from the parents or guardians of their pupils, a certificate countersigned by a physician, that no small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or other contagious disease exists in the house where such pupils reside, and such certificates shall be kept for the inspection of the Health Ofiicer. XXI. — SCHOOL STUDIES. f The Limit Table for each class states the time to be devoted to each sub'cct, and the progress which the class is expected to make in one year. The Board does not minutely direct the manner of giving instruction, pre- ferring that teachers, aided by the advice of the Superintendent and of the 26 Head Master or Mistress, should exercise their talents and skill with as little interference as po-sible. It, however, reminds teachers that class-work is not mere recitation, but is also, and to a great extent, study under the eye and with the aid of the teacher, and forbids the giving of any home work to junior classes that has not been carefully explained beforehand. Kvery statement made to the class by a teacher must be so made as to arrest the attention, and to convey a distinct and correct conception to the understand- ing. The memory must be trained to remember facts accurately, and to recall expressions of sufficient im])()rtance, whether for their concise truth or for their beauty, with verbal exactness and with promptitude. So much only as can be thoroughly done should be attempted. For directions respecting certain work, which it is desirable to have done in the same way in every school, see the three following paragrai)hs. XXII. — chan(;k of rooms. Provision for frequent change of rooms, where such change is possible, especially with younger pupils, must be made in Time Tables. No class shall remain without change of room or dismissal from it longer than one hour at a time. All changes of rooms or dismissal of classes are to be effected in obedi- ence to words of command. The bell or gong in each room shall be used as the signal for instant susjjension of work, complete silence and attention to the teacher, and forno other purpose. The signal shall be a single light tap. The words of command in sending pupils from a gallery shall be : — Stand— up , Attention ; Right or Left — turn ; Mark — tiiv.e ; Quick — march. The words of command in sending pupils from a school room .shall be: Stand— ui) ; I ines. (If necessary. Right about— turn.) Mark— time ; Quick- march. 'i'o arrest pupils in motion, the word— Halt— shall be used, at which all shall immediately stop and take the position of attention. .\11 the commands given above, that have a meaning in military drill, are to be used in the military sense. Teachers must make themselves acquainted with the military sense, and enforce obedience in accordance therewith upon both boys and girls. When sending a class into another room, the teacher will remain until the last pupil has left. On entering another room the first duty of a teacher is to enforce order, the second, to see that ventilation, without injurious drafts, and sufficient warmth are secured. i .4- to i ,^ ^7 XXII!. — ( ALISTHKNUS. At the close of each lesson with primary children, and at the end of each hour with others, except when about to have recess, two minutes shall be devoted to brisk calisthenic exercises, under the direction of the teacher of the class. XXIV. — WRITING. In relation to every written exercise on the slate or on paper, executed at the desks, each teacher is held responsible to see — I St— That each pupil sits upright at the desk, inclining neither to the right nor the left of it, with both arms resting lightly on it, one to steady the paper or slate, the other so that the weight of the arm engaged in writing may be sustained by the muscles of the fore-arm. 2nd — That the slate or paper is placed directly before the pupil, so sloped that the lines of writing may make an angle of about 30 ° with the front edge of the desk. 3d That the pen or pencil is so held that the fingers are sufficiently withdrawn from the nib, that the hands shall rest on the tips of two fingers, and that the pen or pencil shall point towards the right shoulder. 4th. That every letter and figure is distinctly and fully formed. XXV. — DISCIPLINK. Discipline in the schools is founded on instruction in duty, and is main- tained by appeals to reason and right moral feeling, aided by rewards to the diligent and obedient, the reproof and punishment of those neglectfully and wilfully wrong, and the expulsion of the incorrigible. It is expected that no pupil will be punished for a fault committed in ignorance, nor ^or a fault not distinctly brought home to him ; teachers are therefore required to be careful that the children understand their duties Care must be taken that school regulations be not too minute, nor school duties unnecessarily multiplied or onerous. Habits of diligence and good conduct must be fostered by reward. One of the best rewards is private or public commendation from a judicious teacher. Prizes are provided for the diligent and successful, in accordance with Article XXXIII. of these regulations. If rewards, admonition and reproof fail to secure good conduct and diligence on the part of any child, punishment must be resorted to. 2^ WVI. — I'lMsllMbA- I \\\ IKAe HKKS. The |umislinu'iits ;U the cominiind of every Teacher are : — (a.) Setting a pupil to stand on the Hoor. {b.) Keeping him after school ui the evening. {c.) Sending him to the Head Master or Mistress. {if.) VVhipj)ing with the taws, except in the case of girls. (e.) Imposition of discredit marks. (a.) This punishment must not he prolonged beyond the continuance of one lesson. (b.) This must in no case be for longer than one hour a day, and not more than live hours in all for one offence. (<:.) Pupils should be sent to report themselves to the Head Master or Mistress only in cases of a grave character, such as gross immorality, persistent neglect of work, or wilful disobedience. When a pupil reports himself, the Head Master or Mistress must, before inflicting pimishment for the offence, see that he has received a correct report. ( <• I >■ # J-.. 1 -> 1 29 fully be demanded, it may be extended until the offender 'return and do that which he had refused to do ; but a statement, as provided for in the loregoing paragraph, must be sent to a parent or guardian. If a suspended \)U\n\ remain away from school more than five school days from the date of suspension, a report of the case must be sent to the Superintendent, who shall then notify all Head Masters and Mistresses not to admit to or retain in their_s(hools the suspended ])upil. All cases of corporal punishment l)y the Head Master or Mistress, and of susjjension, must be fully and permanently recorded in a book provided for the purpose, and open to the insjjection of any member of the Hoard and of the Superintendent. Punishment inflicted by the Head Master or Mistress, when taking teni]K)rarily the place of a teacher, will be noted in the roll-book of the class simply, . XWIII. — EXl'ULSION. When it becomes obvious that the conduct of a |)upil is such as to en- danger the authority of c(mipetent teachers, or the morals of his companions, and that the modes of discipline detailed above fail to .secure amendment, the case must be rejiorted to the Superintendent, who shall appoint a time to meet the pupil, his parents or guardians, and the teachers concerned, at the school, and shall send to each party a notification specifying the time, place, and object of the meeting. If neither the pupil, nor liis parents or guardians attend, he shall be considered withdraun, and notification shall be sent to all Head Masters ;!nd Mistresses foibidding his reception into any public school. If he or they attend, the matter shall be carefully investigated, all parties having a dispassionate hearing, and, according lo the merits of the case, the Superin- tendent may warn the delintiuent and his parents or guardians, by note if the latter be absent, of the danger of expulsion, ma\' suspentl him for a time not exceeding a month, may remove him lo another school, or may submit the matter lo the Board, with which alone remains the power to suspend inde- fmitely, or to expel. If the Sui)erintentlent suspend the delinciuent, he must notify all Head Masters and Mistresses against receiving him during the period of suspension : and if he remove him to another school, he must make j)ro- vision for his rei ei)tion there. XXIX.- EXAMINMIONS. Public examinations will he held from lime to time l\v appointment of the Commissioners. A general examination of the schools shall be held annually, as the .30 Hoard may dircrt ; at its dose, and in accordance with its results, prizes shall l)c awarilfd, promotions made, classes re-arranged, and the next year's work inaugurated. The time of these examinations shall he the month (jf June. A scheme giving the day on which each examination shall be held will he sent to the Head Masters and Mistresses by the Board sufficiently early to afford time for preparation and arrangement. For all such examinations the Board will furnish the ([uestions, and will determine the manner in which the marks assigned to the subject shall be given. i'he scale of values assigned to the subjects is given in the l-imit Tables of the Board. The questions shall be distributed to the schools in sealed parcels, each bearing on the outside the name of the examination paper contained within, the number of coj^ies, and the date on which the examination is to be held ; until that date no parcel shall be opened. As far as possible, 'he examinations appointed for any day must be held simultaneously in the school, but when the accommodation is insufficient for this, especial care must be taken that the children first examined shall have no communication with those still to be examined. The children about to be examined being assembled, the teacher must furnish each with pen, ink, blotting-paper, a known andsufticient quantity of blank paper which must all be returned unturn.and, after silence is enforced, one examination paper only. Kach child must write his name, age last birthday, name of the school, and rank in the school, in approjiriate places. Then, having marked the time, and giving no explanation of the questions, the teacher must direct the children to commence answering, must see that no use is made of any slate, book, pencil, other paper than that furnished, or of any extraneous aid, and must arrest all work at the iim] of the assigned time and collect the answers. In giving out dictation, let the teacher read once before writing begins, and before the time is marked, then let him read at his discretion, while the l)upils write, giving the punctuation, and, if he chooses, the meaning of de- tached words. All answers shall be read, valued and signed by two teachers of the school in accorrianc;e, first, with any instructions that may be issued by the Board ; secondly, with instructions issued by the Head Master or Mistress. All answers must be filed in an orderly manner in the school, must be oreserved ) 31 for one year, and shall he open id the inspection of, and'Suhject t(j the call of, the fioard (jr Superintendent. .v\x.— REPORiiNii kKsi;i/rs. An Examination Shecl must he filled ui) for each class and sent without delay to the Superintendent, a copy of it being retained in the sc:hool. It must give the month and year of the exammations, the name of the school, the grade of the class, the name of the teacher of each subject, the name age and number of marks in each subject, the prizes of each pupil, and the class to which it is [)roposed to promote him : in the case of mixed classes, separating the sexes into distinct lists. XXXI. — l'R0M01l<-)NS. On the reception of the Examination Sheets, the Superintendent shall carefully consider the proposed classification of pupils ; if he be satisfied, the promotions shall then be made: if not, he shall consult the teachers concern«*d and decide. When a pupil has completed the curriculum of any school or class, he shall be removed to a higher. No deviations from this rule will be permitted unless expressly sanctioned by the Superintendent. xxxii. -PRIZES. A prize will be provided in each class for each subject to which a value is assigned in the l.imit '! ables, as well as prizes for punctuality and for general proficiency. All pupils who have attended the schools of the Board during six months of the scholastic year, and who have not remained in the grade of their classes more than twelve months in the Common and Senior Schools, or more than five terms in the High Schools, and who have not been entered in the l)unishment book of the Head Master or Mistress during six months preceding, may compete for prizes. A prize for punctuality may. however, be taken by a pupil that has l)ecn more than twelve months or five terms in thi.' grade of his class. The prize in each subject shall be assigned to that pupil, eniiUed to c:ompete, whose marks, not less than three-fourths of the marks attainable, are the highest in the class. General proficiency prizes will be given to all the pupils, entitled to com- pete, whose aggregate marks ecfual or exceed three-fourths of the total number of marks attainable in their classes.
