Day High Schools and Collegiate Institutes. 1. Under The High Schools Act or The Board of Education Act a High School may be established or raised to the rank of a Collegiate Institute by the Minister if it is shown to his satisfaction that the Board has pro- vided: (1) Adequate and suitable accommodations as prescribed in Appendix Ib. (pages 18 et seq.). : aes fect and suitable equipment as prescribed in Appendix Bb. page 27). (3) An adequate and suitable staff of legally qualified teachers as prescribed in Regulations 2 and 3 below. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT. Organization of Staffs. 2.—(1) In every High School or Collegiate Institute the head ey shall be called the Pr incipal and the other teachers Assistants. (2) On the staff of every High School there shall be a Principal and at least one Assistant. (3) Ina High School subject to the provisions of Regulation 3 (4) below, (a) Every teacher shall be legally qualified for the position which he holds. (6) The minimum qualification for the head teachers of Art, the Commercial subjects, and Physical Culture shall be an Elementary certifi- cate; of Manual Training and Household Science, an Ordinary certificate; of Agriculture and Horticulture, an Intermediate certificate; and (c) Subject to the report of the Inspector concerned, the minimum qualification of the other teachers of the aforesaid subjects shall be the same as for the head teachers. 3.—(1) In every Collegiate Institute the head teacher shall hold a Principal’s certificate, and each of the Assistants shall be legally qualified for the position which he holds. There shall be on the staff at least five teachers, including one Specialist in Classics, one in Mathematics, one in Moderns and History, or in English, History, French, and German (or Spanish), and one in Science, with members holding Specialists’ certificates in Art, Physical Culture, and, in the case of a school with a Sosstrilsiete Department, in the Commercial subjects. Notes: 1.—Specialists in English and History and in French and German are now available for the larger schools, thus permitting of a subdivision of the subjects of the department of Moderns and History. 2.—The course for a Specialist’s certificate in Physical Culture includes that for a Cadet Corps Instructor’s certificate, and the course for an Elementary certificate in Physical Culture that for the Strathcona Grade B certificate; but neither of these Military School certificates is the qualification prescribed for teaching Physical Culture. ri (2) In a Collegiate Institute, subject to the provision of Regulation 3 (4) below: (a) The minimum qualification for the head teachers of Art, the Commercial subjects, Physical Culture, Manual Training, Household Science, and Agriculture and Horticulture shall be a Specialist’s certificate ; and (b) Subject to the report of the Inspector concerned, the minimum qualifications for the other teachers of Art, the Commercial subjects, and Physical Culture shall be an Elementary certificate, and for the other teachers of Manual Training, Household Science, and Agriculture and Horticulture, the minimum qualification shall be an Ordinary or an Inter- mediate certificate. (3) Subject to such necessary modifications as may be approved by the Inspector or Director concerned, each Specialist shall be at the head of his department. In the larger schools, where there are more specialists ye one in a department, the Principal shall determine the division of the subjects. (4) (a) Until teachers with Specialists’ certificates in Household Science, Manual Training, and Agriculture and Horticulture are available, an Ordinary certificate in Household Science and Manual Training, and an Intermediate certificate in Agriculture and Horticulture will be accepted as the minimum qualification for the head teachers of these subjects in Collegiate Institutes; and (b) A teacher of Physical Culture in a Collegiate Institute or a High School who has taught all the topics of the course and whose work therein was reported as satisfactory before July, 1918, may, on the report of the Inspector from time to time, be accepted as qualified for the subject. 4. In order to secure due organization and economy of effort, the division of a subject amongst the teachers should be avoided, except where other important considerations should prevail. Notse.—A reasonable division of subjects amongst the competent members of the staff is sometimes most desirable in order to permit for a time in the case of pupils the intermission of the study of suitable subjects and to prevent in the case of the teachers the evils of monotony and an excessive burden of class exercises. Ratio of Pupils to Teachers. 5. In schools with five or more teachers, the total number on the roll at any time shall not exceed an average of thirty to each teacher; in schools with fewer than five teachers, a lower average may be necessary in order to secure adequate grading. When in doubt, School Boards and Principals should consult the Inspector. , HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS’ CERTIFICATES. Grades of Certificates. 6.
