Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Public Education in Upper Canada The period with which the following study mainly deals is not one arbitrarily selected. It possesses characteristics which distinguish it from the years which preceded it and those which followed. The year 1791, following close upon the first English settlement, marked the creation of the province of Upper Canada by the Constitutional Act, while in 1841 came into effect the Act of Union which again joined Upper to Lower Canada; but these provinces were again separated twenty-five years later by the Confederation Act which made the Dominion of the present day. The half-century from 1791 onward was one of marked growth in the population and material wealth of the Province, but, more important for the purpose of the present study, it witnessed also the development of certain religious, political and social ideals. It was a time of ferment and of struggle and it did not pass without the shedding of patriot blood, but through the dissension and the turmoil there were established three things which are the finest fruit of the thousand years or more of Anglo-Saxon civilization - responsible government, religious equality and the free school. Moreover, free public education was made possible only through the overthrow of autocracy in church and state; hence no apology is needed for the frequent reference in the following pages to incidents which might seem at the first glance to be purely political or religious in their character. The debt of the writer to one predecessor in the field is manifest throughout. Dr. Hodgins in his Documentary History of Education in Upper Canada has compiled from an immense number of sources, many of which are not readily available, a mass of information, the value of which to the student of educational conditions in Ontario can scarcely be overestimated. In a Documentary History, however, very little beyond a chronological arrangement can be attempted and completeness must be secured even at the apparent sacrifice at times of relevancy.
