Education Office, Victoria, December, 1889. To the Honorable John Robson, Provincial Secretary : Sir,—In accordance with the requirement of the " Public School Act," I beg to submit, for the information of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, the Eighteenth Annual Report on the condition and progress of the Public Schools of the Province for the school year ending June 30th, 1889. The year was marked by very considerable educational activity, and a highly satisfactory degree of progress was the result in almost every branch of the service. The rapidly increasing population of the Province caused so great an increase in the attendance, that an unusually large addition had to be made to the staff of teachers. The whole number of teachers and monitors employed during the year was 143, an increase of 15 over that for the previous year. The schools have made, during the year, a good record as to efficiency and practical results, and at the present time are in good working order. The cost of each pupil for the year on enrolment was $15.92, and on average daily attendance was $29.39 ; this last amount being the lowest since the inception of the present school system. The cost of education proper for the year shows an increase of less than 8J per cent. over the expenditure for the previous year. The expenditure for education proper was as follows :— Teachers' Salaries $ 95,110 97 Incidental Expenses, including rent 8,039 35 Education Office 5,040 27 Total $108,190 59 Of the amount voted in the estimates for education proper during the past year, $3,444.41 were unexpended. 19b' Public Schools Report. 1889 The expenditure by the Lands and Works Department for the construction of school houses, furniture, repairs and improvements was as follows :— School-houses $ 26,177 96 Furniture, repairs, &c 2,795 10 Total $ 28,973 06 The excess of this outlay over that of the previous year ($15,195.74) was caused by the construction of an unusually large number of school-houses during the year. The total expenditure for all purposes of education during the year was as follows :— Education Proper $108,190 59 Lands and Works Department 28,973 06 Total $137,163 65 Of the above outlay, the expenditure for salaries of teachers and incidental expenses of the different kinds of schools was as follows :— For High Schools $ 5,370 00 „ Graded „ 41,303 66 „ Rural „ 56,476 66 Total $103,150 32 The total number of pupils enrolled during the year was 6796, an increase of 424 ; and the average actual daily attendance was 3681.14, an increase of 587.68. The percentage of average attendance was 54.16, an increase of 5.62 for the year. The number of schools in operation was 110, as follows:— High Schools, 3. Ward Schools, 4. Graded „ 10. Rural „ 93. In addition to these, schools were maintained during the entire year, or during a portion of the year, at Spence's Bridge, Revelstoke, and Golden. At the present time, the following additional schools are in operation :— New Westminster, Westside, Union Mines, Otter, Vancouver, Central. School-houses were erected and additions made to school-buildings during the year in the following districts :— Aldergrove, Quesnelle, Delta, Rocky Point, Donald, Round Prairie, Enderby, Sapperton, English, Sooke, East, Grand Prairie, Vancouver (2), Haney, Victoria (addition, Girls' School), New Westminster (addition), Victoria West. 53 Vic.

Provincial Secretary's Office, 27th July, 1889. In order to meet more fully the convenience of applicants for Certificates, examinations were held simultaneously in Victoria and Kamloops. The number of candidates was one hundred and seventeen, of whom one hundred and eight wrote in this city, and nine in Kamloops. Eight graduates of British Universities obtained First Class, Grade A, Certificates; five candidates obtained First Class, Grade B ; five certificates for length of service were granted ; seven applicants obtained Second Class, Grade A; twenty-three, Second Class, Grade B; six, Third Class, Grade A ; and thirty-one, Third Class, Grade B, certificates. Of the number who wrote at the examination, forty-one failed to obtain a certificate of any kind. The following certificates are in force at the present time:— First Class, Grade A 16 „ B 47 Length of Service 5 Second Class, Grade A 27 „ B 69 Third „ „ A 12 ., »i >. B 31 Total 207 If we deduct from the above, those who do not wish for active service and those who have left the profession, the prospects are that the number of certificated teachers will not equal the requirement for the present school-year. 53 Vic. Public Schools Report. 203 While these certificates are merely assurances of educational standing and by no means imply ability to impart instruction, yet the higher the certificate held, or in other words the greater the amount of knowledge possessed by the teacher, the greater the confidence to be placed in him as an instructor, and the more apt is he to become successful in his profession ; still a man may possess an excellent education and be wanting in capability as an instructor. There is a difference between a scholar and a teacher. The advanced intelligence of the day demands of the instructor more than book-learning. The teacher may rank high at his qualifying examination, but if he Pdoes not possess culture he is not thoroughly equipped for his work. As the mind of the child receives lasting impressions from surrounding influences and is to a high degree imitative, the teacher's manners and actions should have a refining influence on the character of the child, and should implant a love for virtue and morality. The teacher who possesses culture is immeasurably to be preferred to one devoid of it. There should be no room in the profession for him who does not combine the gentleman with the scholar. That all of our schools are yearly taking a higher standard in advanced work, as well as the fact that the supply of teachers at the present time nearly equals the demand, renders it thoroughly necessary that those who are admitted to the profession be well prepared to give instruction in the subjects which they will be required to teach. Supervision. No school system can be effective without vigilant supervision. Notwithstanding the fact that the efficiency of our schools is a source of gratification, yet much improvement could be effected by more frequent and careful visitation by the duly authorized officers of the Department. The large extent of territory embraced within the Province, in the distant parts of which schools are located, renders it impossible to visit each district as often as is desirable, or, when visiting it, to remain long enough to make as thorough an inspection of the work of the school-room as is deemed necessary, or to consult with the trustees as to the general needs of the district. That due effort was made during the past year by the Inspector and your humble servant to visit as many schools as possible is shown by the record of official visitations. 204 Public Schools Report. 1889 INSPECTOR'S REPORT. "Victoria, November, 1889. "Sir, —I have the honor to submit for your information the following report for the school-year ended June 30th, 1889 :— " Notwithstanding the onerous character of my duties in the Education Office, so important is the work of school supervision held by you to be, that I was enabled to make more frequent inspections and to cover a wider area of country than during the previous year. " In giving an estimate of the condition of the schools, it is "somewhat difficult to note exactly the improvement made from time to time. But T am satisfied that the general work done in all the schools visited was good, and it is beyond doubt that very substantial and gratifying progress is yearly being made. "After a careful review of the work of the past year, I venture to offer, under various heads, such observations and remarks as the retrospect suggested as being valuable and necessary. " Reading. "The remarks made upon this subject in my first Report are equally applicable upon this occasion. "The attention of teachers is respectfully called to the hints and rules for reading given at the end of the Fourth Reader. Appendix 0 of the Fourth Reader deals briefly with Pronunciation, Breathing,^Articulation, Emphasis, Time, &c. The introduction to the Sixth Reader discusses the principles of expressive reading, and those pupils who are sufficiently advanced to take up this book should be carefully instructed in these principles. "While it is always well to aim high, yet all that should be required in the matter of reading is fluency, combined with the natural and unaffected expression of the sentiment of the passage. " Writing. " In my report of last year it is stated that systematic instruction in writing had not in every instance been carried on. Subsequent observation enables me to say that a marked improvement in this respect is observable. With a good model before a pupil who has a power of imitation, good writing should certainly be the result. But what a useless waste of energy it requires! It is not enough to teach pupils the elements and principles of the letters, and then leave them to attain good results. Such a method as this may be called ' Teaching made easy.' A thorough knowledge of system and the ability to criticize justly may enable a poor writer to teach well, but how much better he could do the work if he were himself a skilful penman. To those teachers who have not this accomplishment, it is only necessary to remark that 'Practice makes perfect.' "The importance of proper pen-holding cannot be exaggerated. Nearly all professional teachers of penmanship are agreed as to the best manner of holding the pen. When a pupil takes pen or pencil in hand for the first time, he should be taught how to hold it correctly, and to move the hand freely, before his attention is strictly confined to the forms of letters. "In a Graded School, it is the duty of the principal to prescribe a uniform method of teaching this subject to be followed in each division of his school. By pursuing such a course, he will be enabled to utilize the forces at command and prevent a waste of teaching power. What is said of writing, in this respect, equally applies to the teaching of several other subjects. " Arithmetic. " This subject received its full share of attention. But, while good work has been done, I am inclined to believe that the general results have not in every instance been commensurate with the time expended. " What is wanted, primarily, is that pupils may be accurate and rapid in the application of the simple rules. Then it is not of so much importance that they shall wrestle with useless and abstract problems as that they shall be taught to deal with the subject with intelligence and self-reliance. It should be kept in mind that ' whatever knowledge is taught a child should be so taught that the act of acquiring it will be of more value than the knowledge itself.' 53 Vic. Public Schools Report. 205 " Physiolo«v. "Although this subject was but last year added to the course of study, yet the progress made was very satisfactory. In some schools the instruction consisted of a series of oral lessons, in others, particularly the graded schools, excellent text-books have been placed in the hands of the pupils. The addition of this valuable subject to our school course has not in any degree affected the standing of pupils in other branches of study, but, on the other hand, has materially increased the general interest in school work. " It is the right of every child to be instructed as to the nature of its body, as well as hoM' to maintain it in a healthy state, Since sound bodies and healthful minds should succeed this instruction, and since the State needs men and women well equipped in these particulars, instruction in the elements of Physiology and Hygiene belongs to the Public School. Even the youngest child can be taught many things concerning the body with profit. For young pupils this instruction should be given orally, and should deal principally with Hygiene. These oral lessons may with profit be reproduced on the slate either immediately or on the following day. This will show two things: (aJ how well the. teacher has taught, (b) and how well the pupils have listened. Besides it is an exercise in composition and an aid to the memory. " As far as practicable, the various lessons given should be illustrated. The eye of an ox or sheep, a piece of bone, cartilage, &c, in the hands of the teacher are of far more value to the pupils than the finest picture of these things ever made. By confining water in a rubber- tube and showing the effect of pressure on it, it is possible to illustrate the force that moves the blood from the heart. "Time Tables. " In every walk of life it is found necessary to carry on work in an orderly way—to have a plan. The few hours daily at the disposal of the teacher render it doubly necessary that he should so arrange his work that all his pupils may be suitably and profitably employed. The programme of study or time table should show 'the order of exercises for each day of the week, and the time devoted to each per day.' " A teacher on taking charge of an ungraded school for the first time must ascertain what the pupils know. Some are found to have the same attainments, others differ from these in knowledge, but are about the same among themselves. This suggests the necessity for classification. It would evidently be improper to classify the pupils on their knowledge of one subject. With English language and arithmetic as the basis of classification, the teacher proceeds with this delicate and important task—important, because on the classification of the school depends in a great measure the success of the teacher's work. " The number of classes, the school hours, and the relative importance of the subjects being known, the nature, of the subjects should next be considered before they are finally arranged in a time table. Some subjects require more time than others. Some exercise the judgment and the reason, others the memory chiefly. It is obvious then that there should be variety or suitable changes in the character of the studies. " As the special conditions of the schools throughout the Province must necessarily differ, it is impossible to arrange a time table that will fit all of them. All that can be done is to state the principles that should regulate their construction. " Text-books. " The text-books prescribed for use in our schools are certainly excellent—the best that can be obtained—and it is the duty of every teacher to supply himself with a full set of those, required in his school. "The proper use of the text-books ought to be carefully considered. That they are essential is undeniable, but it is the abuse of them that must be avoided, particularly in primary work. Take, for example, geography. Here it is easy to lead pupils to investigate subjects outside of what is in the book. With some sand or putty, a map of the country studied can be moulded, the water-courses studied, and the mountains located. The text-book can be used directly in connection with such oral lessons. It is important that the teacher should make a diligent use of the text-book out of school, so that when the time, for recitation arrives he may discard it and go before the class with the knowledge of his subject fully arranged in his mind, together with the best methods of presenting it. Then he will be conscious of moving along on a higher 206 Public School Report. 1889 plane than tliat of his class, but to which they will eagerly look and endeavor to reach if he but set them the example. Any one can hear children read and recite from a book, but it is only those that think and study that can be said truly to teach. The teacher who has no higher aim than to pose as a lesson-hearer is unworthy of his calling. " Nor is it enough for the teacher- to have a full set of the text-books prescribed for use, but he should have a variety of those books for reference as well as the nucleus of a good pedagogical library. No live teacher will allow a season to pass without doing some work for his own growth. What work he should do will depend upon his special need. He who is backward in language will make that his study ; so, also, with all other1 branches. " All teachers should do more or less professional reading every week. To read a book through consecutively and then lay it aside will not profit him much. Better read it topically. If some light on conducting class recitation is needed, look up the subject and apply the test to what is taught by putting it into practice. If your plan of teaching geography is not satisfactory, seek in your library for information on the subject and apply what you find suitable. In this way books will prove interesting aud profitable. " What has been said in reference to the use of text and other books applies equally in this Province as in other places, and my observations of the past year lead me to conclude that a note of advice and warning on this head might not be altogether without profit. " School Records. "The school records have generally been very neatly and accurately kept. Wherever any suggestions in reference to the mode of keeping them were given, teachers have always expressed a willingness to carry out the same. "Although the school records of daily attendance and progress in study are comparatively simple and therefore easily kept, yet experience shows that those who are preparing to enter upon the work of the school-room should receive from their teachers some instruction on this subject. "The expediency of marking or putting on paper a daily estimate of the work of each pupil is apparent, when the difficulty or rather impossibility of remembering the standing of a large class is considered. These marks also serve as a protection against the sometimes unjust complaint of a parent that his child is held back unreasonably. By means of this system the teacher is enabled to recall the work of the class before him. In looking at the record, he sees that one pupil is going backward and another requires to do more study. It behoves him to take steps to remedy this. In fact, a recitation record is to the teacher what the ledger is to the merchant. And it is noticeable that the neatest and best records are kept in the schools that rank highest. Slovenly kept records are evidence of loose work on the part of the teacher. "To the credit of all our teachers be it said that there is not one who has officially complained of this requirement as being an unnecessary demand upon his time and attention. "It is a pleasure to report that the number of teachers who take an active interest in beautifying the school-room and grounds is on the increase. My attention was on several occasions directed with evident pride to what had been effected in this regard since last visit. "The general neatness of the grounds of the rural schools visited was commendable, but I regret that this cannot be said of afl the civic districts. The playgrounds of the latter sometimes present such an unkempt appearance as to furnish a severe commentary on the character of the lessons in neatness given in the schools of these districts. **S.

"Sir,—In compliance with the rules and regulations for the governance of the schools of this Province, I have the honour to make my report on the progress and present condition of the Nanaimo High School. " Since I made my report last year the number of pupils enrolled has increased from 25 to 30, while the average attendance has advanced .proportionally. Owing to the prevalence of diphtheria in the city during the entire school-year the attendance was not so large as it would otherwise have been, some pupils availing themselves of only half of the prescribed number of days. " The conduct of my pupils during the past year has been exemplary, and the utmost good feeling exists betweeir them and their teacher. " The Provincial Roll of Honor for deportment was awarded to Miss Margaret Gibson ; for punctuality and regularity to Master Marmaduke Charles Reynard ; and for proficiency to Master James Galloway, who also obtained the Governor-General's bronze medal. " Several new subjects have been added to the list of those already taught, and fair progress has been made by the pupils in these as well as in the old subjects. " Visits to the school by parents have not been frequent, and I would urge upon them the necessity of personally enquiring into and seeing the progress, or want of progress, of their children. The stimulus to exertion given to the latter by the expectation of a visit from their father or mother is great, while teachers will be incited to further efforts by the knowledge that their schools may be visited at any moment, " The school apparatus is in good order, and nothing seems to me to be wanting but a few botanical charts. Such charts would render the teaching of botany easier. Mr. W. L. Jeffrey, formerly trustee for the school, was good enough to present the High School with some Admiralty charts, which are of much assistance in the teaching of geography. " It may not be, out of place here to remark that Miss Marion Gordon, of the High School, won Mr. Helmcken's prize for- poetry, offered for competition among the schools of the Province. She also received special mention for a prose composition in the same competition. "In conclusion, it is with much satisfaction that I report the great harmony existing in the Nanaimo Schools between trustees, teachers, parents, and pupils, and I would also take the liberty to thank you, sir, and Mr. Wilson, Inspector of Schools, for the kind advice and assistance you have always so cheerfully given me when asked for.

" Sir,—I herewith respectfully submit my report of the New Westminster High School for the year ended June 30th, 1889. " On reviewing the work of the year, I am pleased to be able to say that the progress made was good. Perhaps in the case of a few of the more studious pupils, it was not so marked as that of the preceding twelve months, yet the average advancement would compare favorably with that of any other period since the school was first opened. Many of the girls in attendance were qualifying themselves to become teachers ; some of the boys were preparing for examinations preliminary-to the learned professions; and these objects helped to incite, directly and indirectly, the majority to greater diligence. I find pupils always do better when they study with some definite aim in view. I am therefore inclined to believe that when the proposed university is founded, our high schools will receive a fresh impulse, and that a more vigorous life will be infused into them. "Much of the year's work was of a more advanced kind than it usually is. A great deal of Latin and Greek was read, and the mathematics studied was of more than ordinary difficulty. " In the discharge of my duties, I was well supported by the trustees, who were always ready and willing to give effect to any suggestion I had to make for the improvement of the school. This disposition of willingness and readiness to do whatever seemed likely to be beneficial was specially manifested by the secretary, whose scholarly attainments, large experience in school work, tact, and zeal in the cause of education so eminently fit him for the position he holds. 218 Public Schools Report. 1889 " It is also gratifying to me to be able to say that the deportment of the pupils was satisfactory. You will have seen by the returns already sent that there was no case of corporal punishment, and there was only one case of suspension during the year. " I have, etc., " S. D.

At the commencement of the present school-year, Mr. S. B. Netherby received the appointment of Second Assistant in this school. Report of the Principal. "Victoria, June 30th, 1889. " Sir.—I have the honour to submit the report of the Victoria High School for the school- year endinsx June 30th. " The year shows an enrolment of 62 pupils in the senior and 75 in the junior division. Allowing for the 13 promoted from the junior division at Christmas, there is a total of 124 pupils who attended the school during at least some portion of the year. A glance at the tabular statement of attendance, given on page 196 of your last annual Report, will show that the enrolment and the average daily attendance for this year are far in excess of those of any previous year. " The. increased attendance involved a corresponding increase of work for the teachers. With some 25 or 30 new pupils coming in every term from the Public Schools it was clearly impossible for two teachers either to overtake all the work prescribed in the course of study, or, in six months, to pass out of the school as many as had been admitted on the entrance examination. This difficulty was seen by the trustees and the Department, and I am glad to be able at this time to report the appointment of a third teacher, whose duties begin in August next. 53 Vic. Public Schools Report. 219 " During the last four months fire drill was regularly practised once a week by the boys under the direction of Mr. Offerhaus. When it is remembered that about 1,200 children attend the Central School, and that the buildings are not provided with fire escapes, the necessity of taking precautionary measures of this kind is clear. " While the school has an excellent supply of maps, charts, and other apparatus, there is nothing that can be of assistance in giving practical illustrations of physical laws and principles. As much of what we are supposed to teach in natural philosophy is difficult and cannot be readily grasped by begirrrrers, a small stock of carefully selected apparatus would be an educational help to the pupils as well as a saving of time and labour to the teachers. Such apparatus as would simplify the teaching of those subjects which are treated with more or less minuteness, viz.: hydrostatics, pneumatics, dynamics, and the general properties of matter, should, I think, be provided without delay, and additions thereto might be afterwards made from time to time according to the requirements of the school. " I would suggest, for reasons which it is unnecessary to state, that for the pupils of the senior division there be only one written examination, and that it be held in June of each year-.

The following Graded Schools were in operation during the year:— Schools. Kamloops Nanaimo Boys' Girls' New Westminster Boys' Girls' Vancouver East West Victoria Boys' Girls' Wellington Number of Grades. As the number of divisions and the conditions of the above schools vary very considerably, a Limit Table for each school is prepared by the Principal, subject to the approval of the Superintendent. Regular promotions from class to class are made semi-annually, at Christmas and Midsummer. These promotions are based upon written examinations, but are subject to change on the recommendation of the teacher of each division. The length of time necessary to accomplish the work prescribed for each division depends upon the number of grades in the school. In schools having six or more divisions, it is possible for a pupil to accomplish the requirement for each grade in one or two sessions, but this depends on the natural ability of the pupil and competency of the teacher. The varied duties devolving on tire Principal render his task a difficult one, and much more laborious than that of any assistant teacher-. In addition to teaching his own division, he must exercise supervision over the time-tables, methods, and general discipline of each of the lower grades, and must report every violation of the Rules and Regulations by his assistants. The proper performance of these duties requires considerable executive ability. He must also prepare the questions for the promotion examinations. This is a very important part of his work, as the selection of these questions should be made with the view of showing what has been accomplished in each division, how well each teacher has taught his prescribed limit, and whether or not intelligent instruction has been given. The success of a graded school necessarily depends in a great measure on the tact and ability of the Principal, hence only he who has had practical and successful experience in the work should be entrusted with the responsibilities of such a position. 53 Vic Public Schools Report. 221 ATTENDANCE AT GRADED SCHOOLS, From 1872 to 1889, Inclusive.

" Sir,—I beg to submit the following annual report of the Kamloops Public School for the year ending June 30th, 1889. " On the retirement of Miss Gertrude Clarke in June, 1888, the Trustees made a fortunate choice in securing the services of Miss S. Pearson, an experienced teacher from Ontario, whose work was entirely satisfactory to Trustees and parents, and much regret was expressed when it became known that she had decided to resign her position in June. This frequent change of teachers is decidedly detrimental to the interests of the school. " Several of the improvements asked for in my last report have been effected, and prompt attention has been given to other matters which will add greatly to the convenience and comfort of the pupils. If the grounds were fenced in it would be a step in the right direction, and add to the appearance of the place; this becomes more apparent since the streets in the vicinity are being graded. " We still labour under the disadvantage of having a school composed largely of a floating population, as will be seen by the following statistics taken from the Senior Division :— "Of the 45 enrolled, 12 have arrived during the year as follows :—From Cape Breton, 2 ; Ontario, 1 ; North-west Territories, 1 ; England, 2 ; New Brunswick, 2 ; Westminster, 1 ; Nicola Valley, 3. " The absentees at the June examination numbered 22, accounted for as follows :—To Ontario, 3; South Thompson, 2; Westminster, 6; North Thompson, 2; California, 1; sick, 2 ; ranching, 6. Of this number, 13 are not likely to return. " Average attendance, 23.43. "Junior Division—Enrolled, 68; average attendance, 27.55. " The parents and Trustees have shown great interest in the advancement of the pupils, and the low average attendance, as compared with the enrolment, must, in nearly every case, be attributed to causes over which they had no control.

Report of the Principal. "Nanaimo, B. C, June 28th, 1889. " Sir.—In compliance with the rules and regulations for the government of Public Schools in British Columbia, I beg to submit the following report of the Nanaimo Boys' School. Our school has been most unfortunate during the past year, on account of that dread disease ' diphtheria' which broke out amongst the school children last September, and has continued to afflict them more or less ever since. Some of our brightest and best pupils have been withdrawn, and many through fear have sought refuge in the country, thereby making our average attendance very low indeed. Yet, notwithstanding these disadvantages, the school has done good work, the promotions from the 3rd to 2nd division having been 23; from 2nd to 1st division, 17 ; and from 1st to High School, 12—a result which compares most favorably with that of previous years We are greatly in need of a water supply ; at present water cannot be got nearer than three hundred yards from the school-house, which is most annoying during these warm days. The 1st division room requires some new maps ; the ones we have at present are very old, and mostly all are only out-line maps. One of each continent at least is required. Another thing I wish to speak of is the school ground. It is entirely too small. The space in front of the school-house is only about 30 yards by 50 yards, and behind the school-house is a space about 8 yards by 20. We have over two hundred and fifty pupils, besides between thirty and forty High School pupils, and all are hemmed into this small space. Accidents (mostly of a trivial nature) occur almost every day, mostly from collision as the boys are going through their various games, and all this is due to the fact that the school ground is too small.

" Sir.—The following is my report on the condition and progress of the Nanaimo Girls' Public School during the year 1888-89 :— " The number of pupils enrolled was greater than that of the preceding year, but the average attendairce, in comparison with the enrolment, was very small. This was due to the great amount of sickness in the city, principally from diphtheria, which broke out in the latter part of August; and although the greatest efforts have been made to suppress it there are some cases still. Many bright little pupils died from this dread disease, leaving a void in the hearts of parents and teachers. The pupils all studied very diligently while they were at school, for unfortunately some stayed away for months at a time. These absences affected their work at the promotion examinations very much, rendering the results not as satisfactory as desired. " The teachers would have been pleased to have received more visits from the trustees, and to have had their wants attended to more promptly ; but we trust that everything that is required to be done will receive clue attention during the present vacation. " We would also have been very glad to have had the parents visit the schools—peaceably inclined, of course—and show the teachers and pupils that they took some interest in the education of their children. Hoping that a more satisfactory showing will be made next year, both by the pupils in their studies, and parents and trustees in their visits, "I am, &c, (Signed) "Abbie F. Gardiner, " S. D.

While there was an increase of 35 in the enrolment in the schools of this city during the year, there was a decrease of 16.81 in the average actual daily attendance. This decrease is accounted for by the prevalence of an epidemic during a considerable portion of the year. 226 Public Schools Report. 1889 New Westminster. Boys' School. Principal, W. C.

Report of the Principal. "New Westminster, July 3rd, 1889. ' Sir,—In performance of my duty, I forward you the following report of the Boys' Public School of New Westminster :— "The Board of Trustees had the grounds well cleared early in the year, and added much to the comfort of the children by laying plank in front of the building for lining purposes. During the year the, outhouses were removed to a greater distance from the main building, and the accommodation was increased. Most of the trees planted about the grounds are thriving well, and with some attention from time to time will soon add much to the beauty of the site and the comfort of the pupils. "When the additions to the school building were completed, three of the rooms were immediately occupied. But one inconvenience remains, that of having the space between the two wings common to both sexes. This may be easily remedied by extending the fence to the wall of the old building and constructing two doors, one leading to each yard. All the rooms are large and well ventilated, and, with the exception of a few maps, are supplied with every requisite. " The results of the year's work reflect credit upon my assistants. During the year there were promoted from the third division forty pupils; thirty pupils were promoted from the second division ; and twelve were promoted to the High School, one of whom by a special examination. Some of the rooms are over-crowded, and an additional teacher is needed. 53 Vic.

" Sir,—I have the honor to submit to you my annual report of the Vancouver East School for the year 1888-89. " The school population of this city has doubled within a year. Many of these children have not attended school for months ; besides, so different has been the classification of these pupils, that some are well up in one or more subjects and low in others. On the other hand 53 Vic. Public Schools Report. 229 pupils coming to this active city, to new homes, have more than ordinary zeal ; so that they make rapid progress in their studies. " Though their divisions were overcrowded, I have found the lady teachers, Miss Christie, Miss Murchie, and Miss Bradley, fully equal to such difficult work. "Our chairman, Mr. Brown, has evinced much interest in the school, and has rendered the teachers much assistance during the year. " A few months ago there was but one school and four teachers, now there, are three schools and twelve teachers, besides a magnificent new brick building now being erected, for which generous support in aid of the education of this city we have to thank the Government. " Other reports show that a large number of pupils has been promoted from each of the divisions to higher grades. Sixteen of my pupils passed the High School entrance examination, and three took teachers' certificates. One of these, Miss Hay, received a Second Class, Grade A, ranking second among the teachers of the Province who wrote for Grade A. Another pupil, Miss Lena Ferguson, won the Provincial prize kindly offered by H. D. Helmcken, Esq., of Victoria, for a prose composition. " Allow me to thank the Education Department for the kindness and courtesy shown this school during the past year in visits by yourself, the Inspector, and the Hon. Jno. Robson, who has kindly offered to procure an annual medal for the pupils of this city. " My work during the year, though heavy on account of many pupils and many classes, has been a pleasure to me through the regular attendance of my pupils and the zeal displayed in their studies ; also on account of the promptness with which business connected with this school has been executed by the Education Department.

"This building, which was erected during the summer of 1888, contains four large apartments, whioh are well supplied with ventilators and other requisites which render the school work interesting. It afforded suitable accommodation to all the children of school age then residing west of Abbott street, with the exception of the pupils in the Fifth Reader, who were permitted to remain in the East School in order to prepare for the entrance examination. Three of these rooms were opened in November with an enrolment of 118 pupils, and the remaining one was occupied in January of the present year. A report in detail will be found 230 Public Schools Report. 1889 in the printed forms furnished by you, which has been filled in and forwarded to the Education Office. The attendance, however, would have been considerably larger were it not for sickness that was so prevalent among the children during the spring months. And this sickness, I am convinced, was much aggravated by the school grounds, which are in a very unfavorable condition, and require immediate attention in order to preserve the health of pupils and teachers. As this school has been only a short time in operation, and many of the pupils had not been attending any school for months previously, I consider the progress made by them in the different subjects has been very satisfactory, judging from the result of the promotion examination held in each of its divisions.

McDougall; salary, $55 per month. Monitor, Miss A. M. Robinson; salary, $35 per month. Examined May 30th and 31st, 1889. Inspected, May 31st, 1889. Enrolled during the year, 141. Average monthly attendance, 89. Average daily attendance, 70.90. The enrolment during the year was 1,024, an increase of 382, and the average daily attendance was 537.69, an increase of 299.50. The very rapid increase in the attendance at the schools of this city necessitated an increase of the staff of teachers, and the providing of additional accommodation. At the beginning of the present year another school-house was erected on the school property in the southern portion of the city (known as False Creek). A building, containing two rooms, to accommodate for the time being the two highest divisions of the Central School, was erected in the central part of the city. This temporary school-house has been occupied thus far during the present year, but the commodious two-storey brick building, containing eight rooms (known as the Central School), and now approaching completion, will, in all probability, be ready for occupancy immediately after the Christmas holidays. Additional teachers are urgently required in order to meet properly the wants of the district. There is every prospect that the trustees will be in a position, at an early date, to make application under the provisions of the. School Act, for the establishment of a High School in this city.

Report of the Principal. Victoria, 29th June, 1889. " Sir,—My yearly report shows that both yourself and Inspector Wilson have supervised the work so frequently, that you are aware of all matters in connection with the working of the school. "Judging by the large attendance of visitors, during the term and at the semi-annual examinations, I am warranted in stating that the Central School is a prominent factor of interest in the city. On no former occasion were so many valuable prizes donated as at the June examination, for which the donors have the thanks of the pupils and teachers. " The street influence, of which I complained in a previous report, is not confined to this city. So strong is the feeling of teachers in this matter that the County Conventions in the 232 Public Schools Report. 1889 Eastern Provinces are dealing with it, and have formulated their finding in the following words:—'That in the opinion of this Association the downward tendency of the youth is chiefly due to the laxity of home discipline, and particularly to the neglect on the part of parents to strictly supervise the way in which both boys and girls spend their evenings.' Can anything be done in the way of night schools or otherwise to remedy the evil 1 "The repairs and improvements now being made will add greatly to the comfort of the pupils and appearance of the buildings. The presence of a resident janitor will prevent many things from occurring that led to unpleasantness. " I have found the Trustees willing and ready to assist in advancing the interests of the school. " In last year's report I recommended the mixing of the sexes. The June Examination owed much of its success to the boys and girls being together. A spirit of emulation would be more easily excited and maintained if they were taught together. " The presence of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Nelson at the closing exercises was highly appreciated by all present. " I have, &c, (Signed) "J. A. Halliday, " S. D. Pope, Esq., B.

Report of the Principal. " Victoria, June 30th, 1889. "Sir, —Your intimate knowledge of the work of the Girls' School renders a report from me almost unnecessary. "During the scholastic year 1888-89, one hundred and forty girls have been examined by me for admission into this school, and have been classified according to their attainments. Among these were ranked children from nearly every part of the English-speaking world. "At the beginning of the school-year you saw fit, sir, to increase the work in some of the grades. The results, as seen by the written examinations in June, shew that this added work has met with the hearty approval of teacher and pupil alike. " In September last the addition to the Girls' School was completed, and the 5th, 6th, and 7th divisions were transferred to the new building. This desirable change has proved in every way beneficial, and the girls are now all in large, well-ventilated rooms, with no division overcrowded. The assembly hall, too, supplies a long-felt want, although it is not nearly as large as is desired. " We certainly require a covered building of some kind for the girls to play in during the rainy season, as the school-rooms cannot be used as play-rooms. " We beg to thank all friends who kindly donated prizes at Christmas and Midsummer, and in this connection would especially mention the names of R. Jamieson, Esq., Mayor Grant, and Hon. Dr. Helmcken. " Much interest was manifested by all in the Midsummer public examinations. This, I think, was largely due to the fact that the boys' and girls' examinations were held together. " We also beg to extend our thanks to His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Nelson, who kindly consented to attend the closing exercises at Midsummer and present the medals to the successful competitors.

Average monthly attendance. 77. Average daily attendance, 62.53. At the Christmas Examination, 1888, Elizabeth Mitchell, having attained first rank at competitive examination of the pupils of all the Ward Schools, won the prize semi-annually donated by the Hon. Mr. Robson. At the Midsummer Examination,- 1889, Bessie Marion Johnson, a pupil of this school, having attained second rank at the competitive examination between the pupils of all the Ward Schools, won the prize semi-annually donated by H. F. Heisterman, Esq., School Trustee. The large and regular attendance at each of the Ward Schools during the past year is gratifying evidence of the need of these primary schools. That due discretion was exercised in the placing of these schools in the proper localities, is shown by the fact that the difference between the highest and lowest average attendance maintained in them was less than nine. The increased attendance has necessitated the erection of additions to each of these Ward School buildings. Each Ward School is now in charge of a teacher and a monitor. Several changes have occurred during the present year, in the teaching staff of these schools. Miss M. V. Storey and Miss A. C. Gowen, who for several years have been on the permanent staff, and each of whom proved herself to be a faithful and successful instructor, retired from the profession. 53 Vic.

Enrolled during the year, 1623 Average monthly attendance, 1189. Average daily attendance, 996.11. Expenditure, $19,407.98. Cost of each pupil on enrolment, $11.95. Cost of each pupil on average attendance, $19.48. The average daily attendance at the schools of this city increased from 917.39 in 1887-88 to 996.11 during the past year. The percentage of regularity was 61.36. The general management of the schools during the past year was satisfactory, and the progress of the pupils, on the whole, was at least equal to, if not greater than that of any previous year. - While the additions made to the staff of teachers for 1889-90 meet present requirement, yet the iircreased attendance at the Girls' School will, doubtless, call for an additional teacher in the near future. The number of changes that have occurred thus far in the present school-year, in the teaching staff' of this city, is much greater than in any similar previous period. In every instance, however, the withdrawal from the profession was voluntary on the part of the teacher, being caused either by marriage or for the purpose, of engaging in other pursuits. His Excellency the Oovernor-General, on the occasion of his visit to this city in November last, was pleased to accept an invitation to visit the schools. Accordingly, on the 5th day of November, the pupils of the High School, Boys' School, Girls' School, and Ward Schools, to the number of over twelve hundred, assembled to greet the presence of the distinguished visitors. The very interesting and kindly remarks of His Lordship on the occasion, as well as Lady Stanley's gracious acceptance of greetings, will long be remembered by those present. Wellington.

" Sir,—I respectfully submit my report of the Wellington Public School for the school- year ending June 30th, 1889. " The number of pupils enrolled during the year was 227, an increase of 48, and the average daily attendance 100.38, an increase of 24.95. " Besides the regular promotions from the junior to senior divisions, all the pupils in the Third Reader and twelve in the Second Reader were promoted, owing to the over-crowded state 236 Public Schools Report. 1889 of the junior division, thus placing in the senior division two classes more than prescribed by the Limit Table, and after this was done the junior division was often so crowded that there were not seats for all the pupils. " Considering these facts, I think the time has arrived for the Trustees to make application for increased school accommodation and the grant of an additional teacher. " The blackboards and seats are not in good condition, but I understand the blackboards are to be re-painted during vacation. " The work done by my assistant, Miss Lawrence, has been very satisfactory, considering the large attendance (on several occasioirs over 90). "The closing exercises took place in the public hall on June 28th, in presence of a large number of visitors, and prizes provided by the good people of Wellington, for which we desire to return thanks, were presented to all the pupils of the school.

Public Schools Report. 261 It is to be regretted that the Executive Committee of the Provincial Teachers' Institute deemed it to be advisable to postpone the annual meeting in 1889. The convocations held thus far have been of great benefit to those who have not had the advantages of a Normal School training, as well as having been entertaining and instructive to others who have spent years in the profession. In fact, every one who, with a view to self- improvement, attended the meetings held during the past four years will, undoubtedly, concur- in the statement that these convocations were productive of much practical benefit. The New Westminster Branch Teachers' Institute has been called to meet at Vancouver during the approaching holidays. There is every reason to believe that there will be a full attendance of teachers, not only from adjacent localities, but also from the more distant.parts of the Province. Judging from the programme, the exercises promise to be of more than ordinary profit and interest. It may not be amiss to suggest to the Secretaries of Branch Institutes the propriety of furnishing the Department with copies of essays read at convocations held, as well as statements of proceedings had relating to matters of general interest. The matter of cleaning the school-roorc, lighting the fires, (fee, being a frequent cause of dispute between trustees and teachers, it is proper to state that, in order to avoid misunderstanding, this question should be mutually decided upon at the time of engagement of teacher-. The following extracts from a letter of the Secretary of a Board of Trustees referring to this subject will doubtless show the advisability of such an agreement on the subject between the parties :— " Before we got our present teacher we were never troubled about the lighting of the fires, sweeping, &c. The teacher or the children did it, somehow, between them ; but our present teacher will not do it. She says it is no part of her duties. The children very precociously say that they come to school to learn, and not to soil their clothes with work ; though to learn to make a fire, and to keep a room clean, is, I think, an important part of education. " At home, in the North of Scotland, every child had to bring its peat under its arm to the school every morning, often several miles, and instead of quarrelling about who should light the fire, the first to arrive, either teacher or scholars, always set about it cheerfully. Moreover, attendance was compulsory, and fees were compulsory. What costs little is often little valued. The teacher had to manage over 100 children in a room 20 feet by 30 feet, and at a salary of £60 per year. But it is just the way, the less people have to do, the less they want to do." Frequent complaints having been made of the keeping in of pupils for an undue length of time after school hours, it is right to state that much and lasting injury may be done to the pupils by the want of proper judgment on the part of the teacher in this matter. Under no circumstances should pupils be detained more than one hour after the time prescribed for dismissal. Trustees and parents should not allow the teacher to disregard the physical well-being of the children by the abuse of his authority in this regard. 262 Public Schools Report. 1889 In the last Annual School Report it was stated that prizes were offered by H. Dallas Helmcken, Esquire, of this city, for competition among the pupils of the Public Schools. The following report of the result of awards made was kindly furnished by Mr. Helmcken:— " Victoria, 20th June, 1889. " Dear Sir,—I have much pleasure in announcing to you the result of the competition for the various prizes offered by me, as in my letter to you of 3rd August, 1888, viz.:— "1. ' Education and its benefits.' Prize awarded to Miss Lena May Ferguson, of the Vancouver East End School. A special prize is awarded to Master William Jones, of the Centreville Public School. "Special mention is made of the essay on this subject by Miss Marion Gordon, of the Nanaimo High School. " This prize was competed for by— "7 girls of Victoria, ages 12 to 14 years. "6 boys, „ „ 13 „ 16 „ " 1 girl of Nanaimo, „ 15 years. " 1 „ New Westminster, ,, 10 „ " 1 ,, Vancouver, „ 16 ,, " 1 boy Salt Spring Island, „ 14 ,, " 1 ,, Centreville "2. Poem, 'Justice.' Prize awarded to Miss Marion Gordon, of the Nanaimo High School. This prize was competed for by — ' 1 girl of Nanaimo, age, 15 years ' 1 boy Victoria, „ 16 „ '1 „ „ io „ "3. Sketch, 'Any Scene around Beacon Hill' Prize awarded to Master Charles Moore, of the Victoria Public School, 2nd division, Mr. D. E. Kerr, teacher. " This prize was competed for by— " 1 girl of Victoria, age, 14 years. " 1 boy „ „ 14 „ " You will be kind enough to distribute the prizes, which accompany this report, to the successful competitors. If, in your opinion, you think it advisable to further continue competition of this pleasant nature (the result of this year's competition being so satisfactory to myself), I shall be happy to renew my offer; confining, however, the subject for next year to composition alone. " Yours, truly, " S. D. Pope, Esq., B. A., " H. Dallas Helmcken. "Superintendent of Education, Victoria." As these prizes were open to all the pupils of the. Public Schools, the successful competitors not only achieved honors for themselves, but reflected credit on their teachers and schools. Such competitions must have a beneficial effect on those taking part in them whether successful or not; hence teachers should encourage their pupils to make an effort when similar opportunities occur. The interest thus shown by Mr. Helmcken in the welfare of our schools cannot but be appreciated by all friends of education. 53 Vic Public Works Report. 263 While it is universally conceded that special training is required even in the ordinary trades, and particularly needed in the professions, yet the necessity of preparatory instruction being given to the teacher is often lost sight of, although a matter of paramount importance. The instructors of our children should have careful professional training before being intrusted with the moulding of the lives and characters of those who are our nearest and dearest care. All of the other Provinces have recognized the necessity of such special preparation of the teacher by the establishment of Normal Schools for the professional training of teachers for the Common Schools. The need of such an institution in our Province must be apparent. During the present year initiatory steps have been taken by a large number of friends of education towards the founding of a Provincial University. That the project will meet with success cannot but be the earnest wish of all interested in the cause of education. It is to be hoped, however, that a Normal School chair will be provided in the first University established in the Province. The following is a summary of the amendments to the Public School Act passed at the last Session of the Legislature :— 1. Trustees must satisfy the Superintendent of Education of their inability to secure the services of a duly certificated teacher suitable for their school before a temporary certificate can be granted 2. A second temporary certificate cannot be granted to a person who has failed to obtain a certificate at the next public examination held after the expiration of first temporary certificate. 3. In City districts any female householder or freeholder of the full age of 21 years, and otherwise qualified by the Act to vote at an election of School Trustees, is eligible to be elected and to serve as a School Trustee. 4. All First Class Certificates in force on July 1st, 1888, are, on the application of the holder, renewable until July 1st, 1893. 5. With the sanction of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, a teacher's certificate may be suspended for cause. 6. All holders of certificates who have taught continuously in the Public Schools of the Province for a period of twelve years, are entitled to have their certificates renewed without examination while they continue actively engaged in the service. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. D. POPE, Superintendent of Education. VICTORIA, B. C : Printed by Richard Wolfendkn, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. 53 Vic.
