Public Schools Report. 317 Annual Report OF THE Superintendent of Education. 1879-80. Education Office, Victoria. The Hon. T. B. Humphreys, Provincial Secretary. In accordance with the "Public School Act, 1879," I beg to submit, for the informa- mation of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, this the Ninth Eeport on the condition of the Public Schools of the Province of British Columbia issued since the inauguration of the present system of Education in 1872. Three School Districts have been created during the year, namely:—South Cedar and Cranberry School District, comprising the southern part of the former Cedar School District; West South Saanich School District, lying on the West Saanich Eoad, and made up of parts of Lake School District and of the former South Saanich School District; and the Williams Lake School District, lying on the Cariboo Eoad. School Districts now, therefore, number 47. There have been enrolled in all the schools during the year 2,462 children, with a daily average attendance of about 1,294. The total cost of education for the year, including building and insurance, has been $47,006 10; the cost of each pupil, based on the total enrolment of pupils, $19 09; and that on their daily average attendance, $36 33. I here present an abstract of the statistical information to be found in the tables embodied in this Eeport:— Statistical Abstract. School population of the Province Not known.

In order that their importance may not be underrated, and in order that teachers and others interested in education may gather and facilitate the gathering of such information, I quote on the subject the following passage from amongst many such that I might quote:— " An accurate body of educational statistics is of the greatest possible utility to the teacher, to the parents of the children at school, to the trustees or committee of management, to the nation at large, and still more to the children themselves. It is of service to the teacher, because it enables him periodically to ascertain the real condition of his establishment, what pupils are attending regularly, what progress they are making, &c. Again, it is of use to the parents who are dissatisfied with the siender progress of their children. They lodge a complaint with the teacher. An appeal is made to the register, and the irregularity of attendance but too palpably demonstrates the cause of their educational failure. Again, it is of use to the trustees or committee of management, and through them to the whole surrounding neighbourhood, leading to the discovery of the causes of epidemics, and thereby productive of the best sanitary results, as well as securing for the district a much more efficient education. " But, perhaps, it is to the nation at large that the greatest benefit flows. Discussions are continually waged respecting the state of a nation's education. All parties appeal to statistics. But before any valid conclusions can bo drawn therefrom it is needful to consider in what way these statistics have been collected. Probably not more than two-thirds of a given territorial district have been reported on. The other third is in vastly the worst condition, insomuch that the educational authorities are ashamed to expose its nakedness. And what is done in the case? The average of the whole is applied to this one-third, and thus the matter is supposed to be assorted. And there is no way of obviating these difficulties but by a body of well planned, thoroughly digested and carefully kept school registers. Such materials, in possession, would be worth a thousand speeches, either on the one side or other, by those who are inclined to take a too flattering view of the state of matters, or by those who may feel disposed to underrate or depreciate both the matter of quantity and quality. With such a body of statistics any state or province may not only arrive at correct views of its educational condition, but also discover wherein the deficiency or defect lies. And surely this is worthy of every exertion, and toil and sacrifice,—not merely to get at the seat of the disease, but, still more, to find out the application of the suitable remedy. " But there is another benefit of registration not yet noticed, perhaps of higher value than all,—that of being employed as an incentive to the scholars, to proper behaviour, on the one hand, and to diligent application to study on the other."—[Dr. Forrester's Teacher's Text Book.] Augustus Eupert Green and Eobert Williams, M.A., Cantab, Esquires, having been appointed Examiners of Public School Teachers under the School Act, 1879, in accordance with the Regulations approved of by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, the examination of candidates for certificates of qualification to teach in the Public Schools commenced on Monday, the 5th July, at 1 p.m. The examination took place simultaneously at New Westminster and Victoria, 54 candidates being examined at the latter place and 15 at the former. Every candidate sent into the Education Office, on or before 1st June, a notice stating the class and grade of certificate for which he was a candidate, and, where necessary, his selection of the optional subjects of examination. This notice was also accompanied by testimonials certifying to the temperate habits and good moral character of the applicant. The following programme, containing the rules to be observed by candidates during the examination, was also issued and strictly carried out: 44 Vic. Public Schools Report. 321 TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.

EULES TO BE OBSERVED BY CANDIDATES DUKING EXAMINATION. 1. Candidates must be in their allotted places before the hour appointed for the commencement of the examination. 2. No candidate shall be allowed to leave the examination room within one hour of the issue of the examination paper in any subject; and, if ho then leave, he shall not be permitted to return during the examination of the subject then in hand. 3. No candidate shall be permitted, on any pretence whatever, to enter the examination room after the expiration of an hour from the commencement of the examination. 4. The order to stop writing must be obeyed immediately. 5. No candidate shall give or receive assistance of any kind in answering the examination questions. He shall neither copy from another himself, nor allow another to copy from him. He shall not take into the examination room any books or notes, or anything from which he might derive assistance in the examination. He shall not talk or whisper. Detection in the breach of these rules will render the candidate liable not only to the loss of the whole examination then in progress, but also to the withdrawal or forfeiture of his certificate at any time afterward, should tho discovery be then made that these rules have been broken by him. 6. Every candidate shall use the distinguishing number assigned 'him by the Examiners in place of his name, and shall write this number distinctly at the top of each page of his answer papers. He shall not write his name or initials, or any particular sign or mark of identification other than this distinguishing number. 7. Candidates, in preparing their answers, will write on one side only of each sheet. 322 Public Schools Report. 1880 8.

His Excellency the Governor-General having presented the Public Schools of the Province with one silver, and two bronze medals, it was arranged that the silver medal should be competed for by the pupils of the High School, and that it should be awarded on the result of the written examination on the subjects of study of tho senior division of that school; that one bronze medal should be competed for by the boys and girls of the two Victoria Public Schools, and awarded on the result of the written examination on the common school course, and that the other bronze medal should be reserved for the pupils of the Nanaimo and New Westminster schools, to be competed for by them, and to be awarded on the result of a written examination on the subjects of the course in the junior division of the High School, excluding music and the ancient and modern languages. The medals having been awarded, the presentation to the successful candidates was made a public occasion, the Hon. the Premier presenting the silver medal to Master Charles Hay ward, of the High School, the bronze medal for the Victoria Public Schools to Miss Nellie Wolfenden, and the other bronze medal to Master Wm, M. Halli- day, of the New Westminster Boys' School. 324 Public Schools Report. 1880 The three highest competitors for the silver medal were Masters Charles Hay- ward and Herbert Carey, and Miss Agnes Cameron, and their percentages of answering were respectively, 60.8, 60, and 54.2; the two highest candidates of the Victoria Public Schools were Miss Nellie F. F. Wolfenden and Master Ernest E. Kaye, and their percentages, 79 and 68J respectively; and the two highest candidates of the Nanaimo and New Westminster Public Schools were Master W. W. M. Halliday, of the New Westminster Boys' School, and Miss Alice Howay, of the Girls' School, of the same place, and their percentages were 72.10 and 51.10. Petitions for the creation of new school districts continue to be sent in. Without attempting to prejudice the claim of any of the petitioners to priority of need, where all cannot have the prayer of their petition granted, I give in detail the names of places that have done so:—Nicola Lake. Lower Chilliwhack, Township 12 Maple Eidge, Mud Bay, Shawnigan, Chemainus, Mayne Island, and Burton's Prairie. No school has been closed from lack of the legal average of ten, except the North Arm School, closed by the Trustees from the commencement of 1880. The only district that incurred the liability of the closure of its school was Hope, where the attendance at one time fell almost to nothing. A school-house, capable of seating at least 30 scholars, has been, built at Lillooet. It is an adobe building on a stone foundation, 20 feet broad and 24 feet long, with ceiling 10 feet high, and is built on Government property. It was my intention to have carried on the examination and inspection of schools for 1880-81 in a similar way to that for the year 1879-80, and to have inserted the result in this Eeport, but I have been compelled to abandon my design, not having been able to inspect any but the schools in the immediate vicinity of Victoria. Special Reports on District Schools. Victoria High School.—Enrolled: boys, 51; girls, 31; total, 82; average, 54,69. Present at different visits, 54, 54, 57, 44, 55, 61, 52, 57, etc., etc. Written examinations of the school were held at Christmas, 1879, and at Midsummer, 1880, on the subjects contained in the printed programme of the High School course. Each examination shows a decided improvement on that which preceded it. It speaks well for the Province that one of the alumni of its High School (Herbert Carey, of the senior division) should have won by examination a cadetship of the Military • College at Kingston. At the beginning of May, Mr. Pleace resigned his position as second master, and his place was filled by Mr. Offerhaus, formerly of the Collegiate School of this City. The present teachers are now therefore Mr. McLaughlin, Principal, and Mr. Offerhaus, Second Master. These teachers do not now, as formerly, carry on the same subjects of study in different rooms, but the subjects are so divided that each takes and teaches those subjects which may be called his specialities. Thus while the Second Master teaches French and the mathematical subjects to all, the Principal takes the English and classical subjects in the same way. Victoria Public Schools.—The usual half-yearly examinations of these schools was held at Christmas, 1879, and the subjects of examination embraced those of the common school course. The promotions to the High School are contained in Appendix G. The schools were generally visited once or twice every month, and in all divisions. The attendance in the boys' school on the occasion of different visits was as follows:— 146, 139, 144, 141, 169, 154, 190, 180, 184, etc., etc. That in the girls' as follows—226, 198, 197,110, 167, 173, 195, 199, 200, 202, etc., etc. The teachers in the boys' school on the 30th June, were as follows:—James Kaye, Principal; A. VV. Struthers, 1st Assistant; J. W. Thompson, 2nd Assistant; D. W. McKay, 3rd Assistant. Mr. Clemitson,_who held the position of 1st Assistant early in the year, was obliged to resign through ill-health. The teachers in the girls' school to the same date were: Mrs Hay ward, Principal; Mrs. Wilson Brown, 1st Assistant; Mrs. Caldwell, 2nd Assistant; Miss Bichardson, 3rd Assistant; and Miss Holloway, 4th Assistant. The Nanaimo and New Westminster Schools are the only schools examined to the 30th June, by a written examination, that have not been already reported on. The same system of examination was carried on as that in the Eeport for 1878-79, namely, two 44 Vic. Public Schools Report. 325 sets of questions, one for junior, and one for senior pupils, were prepared. In addition to these, those pupils who had been already declared to have passed for the High School were required to compete for the Governor-General's bronze medal on a paper specially set for the purpose. Examination op the Nanaimo and New Westminster Schools, to 30th June, 1880. —The following 11 pupils of these schools have been examined by means of written answers to printed questions in spelling, arithmetic, geography, grammar, English history, Eoman history, mensuration, book-keeping, natural philosophy, algebra, Euclid, botany, and physiology (competition for the bronze medal.) 4 New Westminster boys. 4 " " gins. 3 Nanaimo boys.

The school opened punctually at the appointed time, and it was remarkable that not one of the 45 children present was late. The reading classes were as follows:—5 in First Eeader, Part I, 5 in Part II; 10 in Second Eeader; 7 in Third Eeader; 10 in Fourth Reader; and 8 in Fifth Reader. Besides the more common subjects usually studied in the Public Schools as a matter of course, there were eight studying bookkeeping, 2 Euclid, and 4 Algebra. The teacher of this school deserves great credit for the remarkable proficiency shown by his scholars. The large attendance may be said to be due entirely to the liking for the school which he has imbued into his pupils. So large, in fact, has the attendance grown, that it has been necessary to divide the district so as to relieve this overflowing school. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, C. C. McKenzie, Superintendent of Education. Education Office, 20th December, 1880. 23 44 Vic. Public Schools Report. 331 PART II. Statistical Returns. 332 .
