Murray, Secretary and Building Superintendent Vancouver College and Campus Board of School Trustees\nCHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS.\nTo the Board of School Trustees :\nGentlemen,\u2014I have pleasure in presenting to you my report for the year 1906.\nInasmuch as the various Committees submit detailed statements of their\nwork, it will be unnecessary for me to do more than say a few words regarding\nthe growth and efficiency of our educational institutions.\nThe education of the boys and girls, the young men and women of a city or\ncountry is of such importance that it has been everywhere entrusted to a separate\nBoard of Managers, who are elected directly by the people and are responsible\nto them for the faithful discharge of their duties. Under \"The Public Schools\nAct\" and subject to its provisions, this Board has power to require money for\nschool purposes from the City Council. For the proper expenditure of the money,\nthe trustees are responsible to the electors. It is therefore fitting that detailed\nreports of all work carried on under the Board's authority should be published\nas extensively as possible.\nThe amount asked for school purposes this year was $143,785.00. Adding to\nthis the amount required for sinking fund and interest on school debentures\n($26,779.50), and deducting the Government Grant ($56,500.00 estimated), leaves\n$114,064.50 as the sum raised by the ratepayers of Vancouver for the year 1906.\nThis would require a levy of 3.98 mills on the total net assessment of the city.\nWhile the expenditure for education seems very large, it is worthy of note that\nthe cost per pupil is low as compared with the cost in cities of equal size in Canada and the United States. The increase in expenditure for the last few years\nhas been in about the same proportion as the increase in school population.\nAt present there are twelve schools in the city ; of these, seven are crowded.\nDuring the year permanent buildings were completed and occupied, giving\neighteen additional class-rooms ; eighteen new teachers were added to the staff,\nand the school population was increased between eight and nine hundred pupils.\nFrom the above it will be seen that the increase in accommodation has just kept\npace with the increase in school population, and the schools are as crowded as\nthey were a year ago. It is proposed, according to by-laws soon to be voted\nupon by the ratepayers, to hpend $150,000 erecting buildings to provide sufficient\nroom to relieve the present situation and at the same time to provide for the large\nnumber of new pupils consequent upon the rapid growth of the city.\nFor some years pupils attending Vancouver College and High School have\nbeen able to proceed with a University Course to the end of the second year in\nArts. Pupils, however, who wished to take Applied Science were under the necessity of entering Eastern Universities for work beyond matriculation. As a result of the Incorporation of \" The Royal Institution \" by the Legislature at its last\nsession, the first year Applied Science is now being taught to a large class in the\nHigh School building, and in September next the second year will be undertaken as\nwell. These advantages have been secured without any additional cost to the ratepayers, by the School Board working in conjunction with \"The Royal Institution.\"\nSome years ago all pupils attending the High School were required to take\nthe same course. At present a pupil has his choice of three. He may elect to study\nalong the line of the University Arts Course, the University Applied Science Course,\nor the Departmental Commercial Course. Steps are being taken to have\na fourth (Manual Training Course) added to the list. Strathcona School.\nFairview School. 10\nBoard of School Trustees\nManual Training has been given to the intermediate and senior grade\nboys of our public schools for some years, while for a little over a year Domestic\nScience has been taught to girls of the senior grade. There are three woodwork\ncentres located on the grounds of the Dawson, Strathcona and Mount Pleasant\nSchools, and in the Central School is a room fitted with all the requirements for\ncooking classes. It will be seen that as all pupils in Manual Training and Domestic Science must attend at the centres named, most pupils travel long distances. Much better results would be obtained by having a woodwork centre\nand a kitchen in each large school. This would necessitate considerable additional equipment, but would effect a great saving to pupils. Each of the large\nnew schools, for which plans are being prepared, will be provided with a workshop and a kitchen.\nIn August a Public School Savings Bank system was started in connection\nwith the city schools. At a time when many pupils are earning, money, and the\ntemptations to spend it carelessly are so numerous, the value of a system which\nwill encourage pupils to be thrifty cannot be overestimated. Three schools, the\nSeymour, Dawson and Model, have the sj'stem in successful operation, and it is expected that in a short time all our schools will have a School Savings Bank. All\npupils having one dollar or over in the Bank have an account in their own name.\nThe schools are doing satisfactory work, a steady improvement being noticeable year after year.\nIn conclusion, I may say it has given me a great deal of pleasure to preside\nover the meetings of this Board. A broader minded and more agreeable lot of\nmen it would be hard to find. We may have had differences of opinion about\nsome matters, but we can truthfully say that we have worked to the best of our\nability in the interests of education, as well as watching the interests of the ratepayers. I may say we have been very fortunate in the selection made by a previous Board, of Mr. Argue as City Superintendent, and Mr. Murray as Building\nInspector. We feel justly proud of the work done by these Officials during the\npast year. Their services have been of the greatest value and assistance to the\nManagement and Building Committees, and I feel sure every member of the\nBoard will join me in extending to them our best thanks for the valuable assistance they have rendered us in our work.\nW. H. P. CLUBB,\nChairman.\nREPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE.\nMr. Chairman and Gentlemen,\u2014The year 1906 has been a busy one for\nyour Building Committee. The indications are that a still more active year lies\nahead of the committee that may be appointed to fill the position for 1907 The\npopulation of our city is increasing so rapidly, so many families are coming each\nyear to settle amongst us, that we may as well face the fact that for some time\nto come we shall have to provide each year for the accommodation and training\nof from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred, or even more, additional school\nchildren. The practical and generous interest taken in our school facilities and Dawson School.\nModel School, Fairview. 12\nBoard of School Trustees\nmanagement by our citizens has, in many instances that we know of, been\nthe cause of numbers of families deciding to reside With us. As our city grows,\nour responsibilities increase.\nHaving obtained a suitable school site at Cedar Cove, we proceeded to clear\nand grade it early in the year. We adopted plans after the Grandview School,\ncalled for tenders and erected a modern four-room frame building, stone foundation, with the forced air fan system of heating and ventilating, at the same operation. This school cost complete $12,347.75, and is called the Macdonald School,\nin honor of Sir W. C. Macdonald, who has shown much interest in education in\nVancouver in a most practical manner.\nThe Fairview School at the corner of Granville Street and Ninth Avenue was\nmuch out of repair about the foundation, and during the midsummer holidays the\nschool was raised about 4 feet, the basement was excavated under the entire\nbuilding suitable for a playroom during wet weather, and new furnaces with the\nfan system of combined heating and ventilating were installed. A small portion\nof the work is yet incomplete, but when finished, the total cost will be about\n$8,000.\nThe Kitsilano School of four rooms was duplicated, and here also the forced\ndraft heating and ventilating system was installed in both the old and new addition at a total cost of $12,250.00.\nThe Model School, Fairview, which was begun last year, was completed this\nyear. It is a fine permanent structure of stone and brick, containing ten classrooms and an assembly hall, with a modern system of heating and ventilating,\nand cost $52,250.00\nThe Dawson School, being built many years ago, and one of the largest\nin the city, the heating system was out of date, and as a consequence, while some\nrooms were stifling, others were cold, and ventilation was only supposed to exist.\nMany complaints were made of illness caused by defects in both ways. Seven\nfurnaces were used in the endeavor to heat the building. Your committee, being\ninstructed by the Board, had three of the furnaces taken out entirely, the fan\nsystem of forced fresh air driven around the four remaining furnaces and through\nthe pipes into the rooms, with complete satisfaction. This was done at a cost of\n$2,337-27, and whilst it was necessary from the point of view of the health of the\npupils, it gives us efficient and economical results with the use of four furnaces\ninstead of seven.\nWe may here mention that this fan system of heating and ventilating is now\ninstalled in a number of our Schools, and we expect to have all the Schools\nequipped in this manner in the near future. Parents can rest assured that when\ntheir children are in school they are breathing purer and fresher air than they\ncan obtain in their own homes, where ventilation is merely the result of accidental\natmospheric pressure.\nAs we have never yet been able to build fast enough to accommodate our\ngrowing school population, being anxious to keep our requests for funds as low\nas possible, it follows that something had to suffer, and consequently it fell to the\nlot of the Manual Training centers to be left in the same manner in which they\nwere started six years ago, until this summer, when we enlarged the three buildings and put in some additional work benches.\nLast May we communicated with the City Council, asking for sewerage for Mt. Pleasant School.\n\nHigh School and Campus. Board of School Trustees\nthe Model, Kitsilano, Macdonald and Grandview Schools. The only sewer we\nsecured was for the Model School, and in this case the delay in laying the sewer\ncaused the school to be closed for some days whilst awaiting same.\nIn the other schools mentioned, septic tanks built upon the school grounds\nare used, and we leave it to the reader to consider whether such things should\nbe.\nWe are erecting a Domestic Science School on the Model School grounds,\nand temporary portable common schools on the Roberts and Seymour grounds.\nThese three will cost about $3,200 exclusive of the Domestic Science equipment\nand fixtures, which will cost about $1000 more.\nMany needed repairs have been made to the buildings during the year, and\nas they increase in years the necessity becomes greater. The Roberts, Seymour\nand Fairview Schools have all been repainted, platforms around various schools\nrenewed, and much repairing done. We would suggest that a supply of desks\nbe constantly kept on hand, because it is almost impossible to obtain delivery of\nthem except when orders are placed very far in advance. For 1907 it will be\nnecessary not only to relieve our overcrowded schools df today, but to provide\nfor a probable addition of about 1200 pupils. To do this, we should have fully\nthirty-six new rooms. We are now submitting a by-law for the purpose of raising\nfunds to enable us to build a brick school addition at both Roberts and Seymour,\neach containing eight class-rooms, one manual training room, one domestic\nscience room and an assembly room. Also a four-room addition to Fairview\nSchool. We think that we can meet the requirements with these buildings for\nclass-rooms, as we shall have three vacant rooms in the Model school which we\ncan utilize after the midsummer. By shifting the school boundaries somewhat,\nwe think we can with these combinations provide sufficient seating capacity for\nanother year.\nThe Board has long felt the necessity of having proper offices. The building in which the Board meets is not only unfit for use, but with the growth of\nour school system we have in addition to provide offices for the City Supertinen-\ndent, Superintendent of Drawing and Superintendent of Music. We have therefore asked in the bylaw that we be authorized to proceed with the erection of an\noffice building, not alone for that purpose, because we require a store-room\nfor desks with accommodation for a workman to set up the same and make repairs, with room also for manual training. This building will accommodate all\nthese.\nAs we are now largely using standard plans for school buildings, your Committee would suggest that in most cases our Building Superintendent might well\nbe given the task of calling for tenders and superintending the whole work. His\nability to do so has been more than proved. His long, practical experience of\nwhat is suitable or otherwise in the construction of a school building or where\ndefects are likely to be found, makes his services particularly, valuable and with\na less efficient Superintendent your committee's duties would certainly have been\nmore arduous and possibly less satisfactory.\nYours respectfully,\nR. P. McLENNAN,\nChairman of Building Committee.\nMMH\nSB\nass 16\nBoard of School Trustees\nREPORT OF MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE.\nMr. Chairman and Gentlemen,\u2014I have the honor of submitting a report\nshowing in several respects the largest increase of any year in the history of Vancouver.

The courses presented by these Institutions cover Arts first and second year and Applied Science first year. In September next the second year of\nApplied Science will be started. It is the purpose of the Royal Institution to add\nthe third and fourth year Arts as soon as the number of students desiring to take\nthe work warrant the expenditure.\nOf the work done in the various departments, the following reports from the\nSupervisors of Drawing, Drill, Manual Training, Domestic Science and Music,\nand that of the.Principal of Vancouver College, give comprehensive and interesting accounts.\nAs will be seen by the report of the Manual Training Supervisor, the accommodation is quite inadequate, and it is to be hoped that before long more centres\nwill be opened. In the meantime, the suggestion of Mr. Northrop to have three\nclasses a day instead of two will somewhat improve the situation.\nThe work in Drawing, Music and Domestic Science has been well maintained.\nSatisfactory progress is being made and an increase in interest on the part of\nteachers and pupils is more manifest. The Board has been fortunate in securing\nin Mr. Kyle, as Supervisor of Drawing, a man of excellent ability and tact, and we\ncan confidently look forward to rapid improvement in this class of work.\nIn conclusion, I have pleasure in referring to the energetic work of the\nCity Superintendent, as it is due to his untiring energy that the present high\nstanding of the schools is maintained.\nWishing you all the Compliments of the Season, I remain, yours respectfully,\nW. B. McKECHNIE,\nChairman Management Committee.\nREPORT OF DRAWING.\nW. P. Argue, Esq., City Superintendent.\nDear Sir,\u2014I have now spent nearly nine months among the schools, and\nduring that time, by supervision and instruction, have endeavored to put the\nDrawing on a sound and firm basis.\nBoth teachers and students seem remarkably enthusiastic, and I feel confident that the prospects are bright.\nMy aim in the young classes is to train the sight and dexterity of the hand,\nby drawing mostly from real objects, to train and develop the innate desire for\ncolor, and foster a love for the beautiful.\nThis will be carried on through the advanced classes, with the addition of\nGeometry, Scale Drawing, and the making of working drawings, so that when a\nboy or girl leaves school and goes to work they will have a solid foundation upon\nwhich to build a trade or profession.\nFrom September the teachers have met at three centers, Dawson School, \nVancouver First High School. 20\nBoard of School Trustees\nModel School and Strathcona School, where we have undergone a course of ten\nlessons at each center. The attendance has been.excellent, and the progress\nmade all that could be desired.\nYours faithfully,\nJOHN KYLE,\nSupervisor of Drawing.\nANNUAL REPORT OF DRILL INSTRUCTION.\nW. P. Argue, City Superintendent.\nDear Sir,\u2014I have the honor to submit the following report of the instruction\nin drill for the year 1906.\nDuring the first school term, January to June inclusive, various Military and\nPhysical movements were taught to both boys and girls of the City Public Schools\nin class rooms and (weather permitting) on school grounds. Regarding the\nMilitary movements, only those applicable to class-room and school requirements\ngenerally were taught.\nExplanations to individual teachers in the methods of giving commands and\nthe manner of imparting instruction were also given, thus enabling instruction to\nbe continued by the teachers 'at intervals between my visits.\nPrevious to the unveiling of the Memorial at Stanley Park, small companies\nof boys from the largest schools were instructed specially in Military movements,\nfor the purpose of taking part in the ceremony, and considering that only a few\nlessons were given to each, they acquitted themselves very creditably on that\noccasion, which proved the value of the preliminary drill previously taught.\nDuring the Fall term previous lessons were reviewed and further instructions\ngiven in physical drills. Fire drill was also reviewed during this term, and all\nclasses in the city Public Schools received special instruction on this subject.\nDuring the year just ended, fourteen rifle teams were organized, seven of\nwhich were seniors and seven juniors. Altogether about two hundred and\nseventy-five pupils received instruction in the use and care of the rifle. Keen\ninterest was taken by the pupils in this part of the instruction, and the results\nhave been very satisfactory.\nThe High School company were inspected by Colonel English of the Royal\nEngineers, during the inspection of the local regiment in April, and were complimented upon their appearance and drill. Continuing the instruction of this Company, various lessons were given on the following subjects :\nMilitary and Physical Drills,\nArmy Signals (Morse System),\nSemaphore.\nThe Company is up to full strength as required by establishment, except one Board of School Trustees\n21\nofficer, and is considered to be fairly efficient. Two carbine rifles and a supply\nof ammunition were issued by the Department of Militia, for the purpose of instruction in target practice. During the Summer months arrangements were\nmade permitting members of this Company to practice rifle shooting on the\nOfficial Range ot the 6th Regiment D. C. O. R. Several availed themselves of\nthis opportunity, and very good results were obtained.\nI am, respectfully yours,\nA. C. BUNDY,\nMilitary Inspector to 6th Regiment, D. C. O. R.\nAnd Vancouver City Public Schools.\nMANUAL TRAINING.\nW. P. Argue, Esq., City Superintendent.\nDear Sir,\u2014I beg to submit the following report of the year's work in the\nManual Training Schools.\nThe past year has seen continued advancement in educational principles and\ntheir application to workshop practice. In former years, owing to the lack of\nproper training in drawing in the public schools, the pupils' work was to a large\nextent copied exactly from models or drawings previously made by the teacher ;\nthis year, however, copying has been almost entirely done away with, and free\nscope has been given regarding the shape, size and ornament of the model, the\nonly conditions being that each model must contain certain exercises, joints and\nutilities, which have previously been demonstrated before the class. In this way\nthe independence and originality of the pupil has been greatly strengthened. To\nencourage the boys in the adoption of this method, marks have been awarded\nfor accuracy, finish and independence separately, on each drawing and model.\nThe pupil has been expected to discover his own mistakes and make his own\nestimate of marks earned, these being, of course, verified by the teacher. In\neach school will be found photographs of the boys whose total marks earned\nwere highest in the various departments. There was very keen competition for\nheadship.\nThe collection of specimens has continued in all schools, and to show the\nenthusiasm and continued effort on the boys' part, I may state that a lesson on\nthe flowers of timber trees given in February produced results until autumn, by\nwhich time various pupils had collected twenty-eight different varieties of flowers\nof timber trees and many of the seeds of the same.\nEach center has been enlarged during the year, so that now there is accommodation for twenty-four pupils. This makes it possible to take all the boys from\nmost of the classes, the exceptions being in the lower divisions, where some few\nhave been left.\nIn connection with the question of attendance, I wish to point out that in\nMt. Pleasant one class has averaged over 30 boys in actual attendance; in Strath-\ncona Center two classes, and in Dawson Center two classes have exceeded 24.\nThis has been decidedly to the detriment of these classes, and I trust every effort 22\nBoard of School Trustees\nwill be put forth in organizing classes where the girls attend Domestic Science\nCenters not to exceed twenty-four boys.\nThe following numbers refer to the term ending December, 1906 :\nDawson School, total number who have attended at all, 278.\n\" | I attendances made, 3048.\nMt. Pleasant School, 299 and 3309 respectively.\nStrathcona School, 254 and 3092 respectively.\nCalculated on a basis of twenty-four places, this gives an efficiency, of 92%,\n97.7% and 83.6% respectively.\nOwing to lack of accommodation, it has been impossible to include all classes\nwho by age and standing were eligible for admission, and in Mt. Pleasant 'the\nexperiment was tried of sending a class from Mt. Pleasant and Fairview alternately on Friday afternoons, but this has not been a success. There seems to be\ntoo long an interval between lessons. In case such arrangement is needed next\nterm, I would suggest that the morning session be divided into two periods of\n1JE^ hours each, and that a class be sent in each period. This can only be done\nwhere both classes come from a school on the same ground as the center, and at\nbest could only be considered as a make-shift until other centers could be built.\nBoth teachers and pupils anticipate with pleasure the fact that entrance\nclasses will be allowed to attend Manual Training School next term. I trust this\nwill be the first step towards the inclusion of Manual Training in an advanced\nform in the High School curriculum in the near future.\nRespectfully yours,\nS. NORTHROP,\nSupervisor Manual Training.\nREPORT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE.\nW. P. Argue, City Superintendent.\nDear Sir,\u2014I have the honor to submit a report of \u00a3tbe work done in the\nDomestic Science department of the public schools for the year 1906.\nAs the subject is a new one, I shall endeavor to note some of the educational\nand practical aims of such a course.\nIn the first place, Domestic Science aims at arousing an interest in the art of\ntrue home making, and imparting such training and instruction as will enable a\ngirl to perform any part of it intelligently.\nIn the working classes the common food substances as fruits, cereals, vegetables, eggs, etc., are studied, in regard to :\n(a) Their source and selection.\n(b) The actual nutrients contained in them. Board of School Trustees\n23\n(c) The effect of different methods of cooking upon them.\n(d) The combination of these food substances into palatable and digestable\ndishes ; first from recipes supplied and second from recipes thought out by pupils.\n{e) The economic side.\nThe work is as largely experimental as possible, as the school kitchen is\nfitted up to allow of this, and a pupil sees results for herself.\nAs is natural, the subject of cookery goes hand in hand with physiology and\nhygiene, and the knowledge grained in the regular lessons is used in every cookery\nlesson\u2014in fact, the cookery lessons offer so good a medium for health introduction that, in some cities, boys as well as girls take the lessons in foods and\ncookery.\nIn the cleaning classes, scientific methods for the care of wood, silver and\nother articles are given, with reasons intelligible to children why such methods\nare used. This is put into practice in the class-room, as the pupils have the care\nI of it. Simple talks on bacteria and the causes of disease are given, so that pupils\nunderstand the necessity for pure air, sunlight and cleanliness in everything in\nand about our homes.\nMentally, the subject affords peculiar opportunity to develop the relating\npower in tracing cause and effect, and in seeing how successful practice depends\nupon a firm grasp of underlying principles.\nDuring 1906, ten classes received instruction weekly. Two hundred and\neighty-two girls from the higher grades attended these classes from January until\nJune. Owing to re-classification, after the June examinations, new Domestic\nScience classes had to be organized, and two hundred and seventy-eight attended\nthese from August until December. Thus there were over five hundred and fifty\npupils attending Domestic Science classes during the year, but only about fifty\nwho received more than a few months' instruction. It can therefore be seen we\nhave made only a good beginning, and with more centers, hope to do more\nthorough work.\nThe attendance in the majority of cases has been very encouraging. Three\nclasses of the ten averaged over ninety per cent, for the last four consecutive\nmonths of the year. The progress has been very satisfactory.\nThe interest shown by the general public is also encouraging. In all about\nfour hundred visited the classes during the year. Among these were the Superintendent of Education for the province, several of the provincial inspectors of\npublic schools, members of the city board of school trustees, and others interested in public instruction. In June a week was set apart specially for the mothers\nof the pupils, and about one hundred availed themselves of the opportunity of\nseeing a class lesson, notwithstanding rainy weather.\nBefore closing I wish to add a tribute to the girls attending the classes.\nBesides showing interest, they have been kind and obliging in class and have\ndone everything they could to make my work pleasant.\nThanking you for the help you have given me in every way possible,\nI am, yours respectfully,\nELIZABETH BERRY. 24\nBoard of School Trustees\nREPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.\nW. P. Argue, Esq., Superintendent of Schools.\nDear Sir,\u2014The following is a brief report of the year's work in the music\ndepartment. In looking back over this, my second year as head of this department, I can see many signs of improvement in the character of the work. There\nis a better appreciation by the teachers of the meaning and value of the music.\nThe children, too, take great interest in the music lessons, and in many rooms\nthe most gratifying results are being obtained. We have not attempted in any\nway to bring the work before the public, but have confined ourselves to patient\neffort in the school room, in order to lay a thorough foundation for future work.\nHere I desire to express my sincere thanks to all our teachers for their hearty\nco-operation and the interest they have shown in the work.\nDuring the year we have been called upon to participate in two public\nfunctions, namely, the unveiling of the Victoria Memorial in Stanley Park, and\nthe public reception to our Governor General; and on both occasions the\nteachers and scholars acquitted themselves admirably.\nI have held regular meetings for teachers, at which they have studied carefully \"Cumming's Rudiments of Music,\" and I am pleased to say that most of\nthem have passed a satisfactory examination on the above mentioned work^ and\nare now qualified to teach all matters of Theory that may arise in connection\nwith the subject of music in our schools.\nNext year we will take up the more practical work at regular grade meetings, and at the end of the year we hope to have our teachers as well equipped\nas any body of teachers on the Continent.\nDuring the term just closed, music has been taught in 103 rooms, and next\nterm that number will be increased to at least 110.\nOur work has been retarded to some extent by the great growth of our\nschool population, so many pupils coming to us totally unacquainted with the\nsubject. Two-part music has been attempted in several rooms, and the results\nare most encouraging.\nThe aim and object of our work, however, must be, not simply to produce\ngood singers, and have good singing in our schools, but rather to develop richer\nlife and good, all-round character.\nIn conclusion, I desire to express my sincere thanks to the Board of Trustees\nfor their kindly support and encouragement and confidence reposed in me, and\nto yourself in particular for the wise counsel and help you have given to me\nduring the year.\nRespectfully submitted,\nGEORGE P. HICKS,\nSupervisor of Music. Board of School Trustees\n25\nREPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.\nW. P. Argue, Esq., City Superintendent.\nSir,\u2014I beg to submit my report of the Vancouver High School and College\nfor the Academic year 1905-'06.\nThe statistical returns, which you received at the close of the year, show that\nthe grand total enrollment for the Institution is 495, a gain of 80, or of 19.2 per\ncent, over that of the year 1904-'05, and indicative, thus, of very satisfactory\nnumerical growth.\nThese returns show, further, that, taken by sexes, this enrollment is made up\nof 205 males and 290 females, which is, by percentage, 41.4 and 58.6, an increase\nfor the former of .2 per cent, over 1904-'05, and of more than 4 and 5 per cent,\nover 1903-'04 and 1902-'03, respectively. The tendency thus indicated is certainly\na gratifying one.\nViewed by Divisions, however, the statistics reveal two regrettable facts:\nthat of males the percentage in the Preliminary, or lowest, Division is 46.5, but\nin the second year of the course, the Junior, it falls to 35.1, and that of females,\nthe percentage in the Matriculation Division is 68.6, but in the last two years of\nour work, the University Arts, it falls to 36.6; that, in other words, there is a\nserious loss of males at an early stage, and a far more serious one of females in the\nadvanced stages of the course.\nThe former loss, there is reason to hope, is one that will diminish, not only\nwith the general steadying locally of the desire and the demand for better scholastic grounding as a basis for a boy's life-work, but also with the development of\nthe commercial and technical sides of our instruction, and, above all, in the outlook towards a definite educational goal which is opened up by the Royal Institution in its announcement of the first two years of the course in Applied Science,\nand its promise in the immediate future of the final two years of that in Arts (the\ncourse of study, the instruction, and the examinations to be of the same\nstandard as at McGill University at Montreal). The opportunity of completing\nthe course in Arts locally will tend to diminish the latter loss as well; but the situation may be relieved in a most practical way by the Boards of School Trustees\nmaking it \" worth while \" for a prospective teacher to proceed beyond the Matriculation or mere \"life \" Certificate stage, not only for reasons of prestige but of\npreference and salary also.\nSubjoined are the Honor Roll and the Pass List for the year. In regard to\nthe latter, it may be remarked that examination conditions are apt to vary so\n' greatly from year to year as to make futile any comparison of pass percentages.\nThere is reason to hope, however, that the Preliminary and the Junior Examinations have been sufficiently searching to secure higher percentage of passes at\nthe Junior and the Matriculation Examinations of the current Academic year.\nThe whole question of due preparation for examinations, it may be added, has\nreceived much consideration, and closer co-ordination of work from Class to Class\nand from Division to Division has been instituted with the expectation of\nimproved results.\nm 26\nBoard of School Trustees\nRhodes Scholarship for British Columbia, 1906 : Harry Randle Bray, B.A.,\n(First Year Arts, Vancouver College, 1902).\nFlumerfelt Scholarship, 1906 : Arthur Yates, (Second Year Arts, Vancouver\nCollege, 1906).\nHead of School, winner of Governor-General's Medal and of B.

Argue, Esq., City Superintendent.\nDear Sir,\u2014I beg respectfully to hand you a report of my proceedings during the year just closed.\nThe various schools were visited as follows, namely: Mt. Pleasant 35 times,\nStrathcona 33, Seymour 32, Grand View 22, Macdonald 13, Fairview 24, Kitsi-\nlano 23, Model 14, Dawson 31, Dawson Primary 26, Roberts 28 and Central 31,\nbeing 322 visits.\nEnquiry was made at the homes of 980 pupils as to the cause of their absence\nfrom school. 61 boys were found to be guilty of truancy. Only 14 pupils\nwere found in whose homes infectious disease was the cause of absence, but of\nwhich the teachers did not know when asking the enquiry to be made.\nThe parents of twenty pupils were charged with a violation of the Compulsory Clause of the Public Schools Act, and in every case they were either fined or\nlet off on suspended sentence, which in almost every case had the desired effect\nof securing a better attendance.
