 PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 The syllabuses containing the Regulations and the Courses of Study of the 
 Collegiate Institutes, the High Schools, the Continuation Schools, and the Public 
 and Separate Schools will not be again completely revised until about Haster, 1918. 
 In the meantime this circular contains the Regulations that have been amended 
 and the Regulations that have been added since the authorization of the syllabuses, 
 ~ with some additions which the interests of education have rendered necessary. As, 
 however, the amendments to the General Regulations of the Teachers’ Institutes 
 and to those of the Departmental examinations are somewhat numerous, the whole 
 of the sections containing these Regulations as amended are reprinted herein. 
 
 The Regulations of the District Institutes and of the Medical Inspection of the 
 City of Toronto, which have also been concluded, will be sent early in September to 
 all concerned. 
 
 Circular 27, of October, 1916, entitled “The War and the Schools” and 
 dealing with the Departmental and the University Matriculation courses and 
 examinations in history and geography, enlistment for overseas service, and em- 
 ployment on Ontario farms, will be re-published in September next, with the 
 
 necessary amendments.

 GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR TEACHERS’ INSTITUTES 
 
 1. On the report of the Public School Inspector or Inspectors, as the case 
 may be, and with the approval of the Minister of Education :— 
 
 (1) Subject to the Beet nore: the teachers of an Inspectorate may organize 
 themselves into one or more Teachers’ Institutes, and the teachers of two or more 
 Inspectorates may organize themselves into one Teachers’ Institute. 
 
 (2) The purpose of such organization shall be the improvement of the teachers 
 ’ in general culture, and in the knowledge and practice of school organization and 
 -methods of instruction. No controversial subject of a religious or political 
 character may be introduced. 
 
 Note.—The Teachers’ Institutes have been established to extend the training 
 given teachers in the professional schools of the Province, and for this purpose the 
 members of the staffs of the Faculties of Education and Normal Schools are available 
 as lecturers. The Annual Reports of the Institutes and correspondence with the De- 
 partment of Education have, however, shown that in former years many have 
 added to their proper function philanthropic and patriotic schemes, and have 
 also used their funds for purposes which, though laudable, are not contemplated 
 by the Regulations. Accordingly, the Minister now directs the members of the Insti- 
 tutes to confine themselves strictly to the duties laid down by the Regulations, and, 
 if they deem it desirable, to organize themselves into separate associations for philan- 
 thropic and patriotic schemes, and for such other purposes as may promote their own 
 interests and those of the general public. In the case of the rural Institutes, the 
 meetings of these voluntary associations should for evident reasons be held after the 
 business of the Institutes has been finished; whereas, in the case of the city Institutes 
 they may be held then or at any other convenient time. 
 
 2.—(1) The officers of an Institute shall be a President, a Vice-President, 
 a Treasurer and a Secretary or a Secretary-Treasurer, and a Librarian.

 other members to be chosen at the Annual Meeting of the Institute in whatever 
 manner the members of the Institute may decide, shall constitute the Executive 
 Committee. 
 
 (3) In addition to the powers and duties assigned herein to the Executive 
 Committee it shall have such other powers and perform such other duties, con- 
 sistent with the purpose of the Institute, as the Institute may assign to it. 
 
 (4) The Institute and the Executive Committee may each also appoint com- 
 mittees for special purposes, consistent with the purpose of the Institute. 
 
 3.—(1) (a) Each Institute shall hold at least one annual meeting on a Thurs- 
 day and a Friday at a centre to be determined by the Executive Committee. When a 
 lecturer is provided by the, Department, the Minister will fix the dates of the 
 meetings; in other cases they shall be fixed by the Executive Committee. 
 
 (b) (i) At the Annual Meeting there hall be a forenoon and an afternoon 
 session each day and one evening session, the length of each to be determined by 
 the Executive Committee. 
 
16 
 
 (ii) The subject selected for the evening meeting shall be an educational one 
 of general interest, and the public should be invited to attend. 
 
 (c) In order that the teacher may attend the annual meeting of the , 
 Institute, he shall close his school on the days appointed for said meeting. 
 
 (2) (a) Throughout the rest of the year, evening meetings and, when 
 permitted by the Board of School Trustees concerned, additional day meetings 
 on school days may also be held as may be arranged for in each case by the 
 Inspector. 
 
 (6) In order to allow meetings of its teachers for school business and mutual - 
 improvement, a Board may authorize said teachers to close their schools at 2.30. 
 or 3 p.m. on certain specified days. 
 
 (3) The members of an Institute may meet in one body or in Form sections 
 as may be determined from time to time by the Executive Committee with the 
 approval of the Inspector or the Inspectors as the case may be, and with such 
 organization as may be determined by the members thereof.

 the Continuation School Grade C teachers, whose schools are situated within the 
 Inspectorate or Inspectorates constituting an Institute, shall register as members 
 thereof and shall attend all the meetings promptly and regularly. 
 
 (b) At the close of the Annual Meeting, the names of the absentees from 
 the forenoon and afternoon sessions shall be reported promptly by the Secretary to 
 the Inspector concerned.

 of Roman Catholic Separate Schools who are members of Religious Orders are 
 optional, but are strongly recommended by the Minister. 
 
 (6) (i) Registration and attendance at an Institute on the part of teachers 
 of High Schools, Collegiate Institutes, and Grades A and B Continuation Schools 
 are optional but are strongly recommended by the Minister. 
 
 (11) The Principals of such schools may close one or more of the school grades 
 for all or for part of the time of the Institute meetings to allow, the staff or 
 members thereof to take part in the business, and the teachers so set free shall

 changes in the School Law and the Regulations in which they are concerned. 
 
 (2) To take such measures to secure prompt and regular attendance during 
 the meeting of the Institute as may, in his judgment, appear to be necessary. 
 
 (3) To report to their respective School Boards, and, when in his judg- 
 ment necessary, to the Minister of Education, Public, lay Separate, or Grade 0 
 Continuation School teachers who, for reasons unsatisfactory to the Inspector, 
 have absented themselves from any part of the forenoon or afternoon sessions, 
 
 Note.—The Institutes are maintained for the professional improvement of teachers. 
 To this end the schools are closed for two days, grants are made by the Legislature 
 and the municipalities, and free instruction is provided by Departmental lecturers. 
 Accordingly, teachers owe it to the public and to themselves to take full advantage of 
 the opportunities thus offered by diligent application to the work of the Institute and 
 by prompt and continuous attendance at its meetings. e 
 
 @. It shall be the duty of each School Board to take such steps as in 
 its judgment are necessary to secure the due attendance of the teachers of its 
 staff or staffs.

 to take part. In arranging the programmes ample time should be given for 
 general discussions, in which all the teachers should be encouraged to take part.

 should provide for the systematic study of certain topics. of school organization

 and the Director of Teachers’ Institutes, Parliament Buildings, Toronto.

 give on one day two lectures, but the responsibility for the, efficiency and success of 
 the Institute devolves upon the members.

 the Executive of an Institute may substitute for all or part of the annual meeting 
 a visit of inspection by the members of the Institute to other schools or institutions 
 of an educational character where the work has a direct bearing upon that of the 
 Public and Separate Schools.
