Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documentary History of Education in Upper Canada, Vol. 19: From the Passing of the Constitutional Act of 1791; To the Close of Reverend Doctor Ryerson´s Administration of the Education Department in 1876; 1865-1867 With the exception of having to deal somewhat decisively with the unexpected renewal of the Separate School Agitation in 1865, a large portion of this Volume is devoted to the subject of Grammar Schools. First, in giving an historical review of their establishment - in a somewhat special form - in 1806, (as a substitute for the Select Private Classical Schools of an earlier period. Secondly, in their slowly enlarged form by the legislation of 1819. also that of 1839, and, especially, by the legislation of 1853, and lastly, in the comprehensive form of the Grammar School Improvement Act of 1865. The passage of this Act was preceded by an animated discussion at the County School Conventions, held by the Chief Superintendent of Education, as to the expediency, if not the absolute necessity of investing Municipal Councils, as in the case of Common Schools, with authority to levy a special rate for the maintenance of Grammar Schools, - for, up to this time, the support of Grammar Schools had to depend entirely upon the Grant from the Provincial Grammar School Fund and the fees derived from the attendance of pupils. In addition to the discussion at the County School Conventions on this subject, the Chief Superintendent availed himself of the ripe experience of successive Grammar school Inspectors, who not only had reported minutely on the condition of the Grammar Schools, but had also pointed out the serious defects in their local management, caused by temporary expedients, and by often ill-advised union with Common Schools, with a view to increase their income. In addition to a greatly improved Grammar School Act, the Programme of Study was very much enlarged, so as to embrace in it a wider range of subjects than formerly, and to provide for a full course of a higher English and Classical Education. The difficult subject of a wise and judicious selection of Text Books is dealth with in this Volume, not only as an abstract question, but also as to the proper authority by which these Text Books should be chosen, - whether by a public and disinterested Body, or by the Teachers themselves. In this special case, the discussion on the subject was intensified by an attack on the Council of Public Instruction, (which had selected the Text Books for the Schools in the Province) by certain Booksellers, who had canvassed Teachers in regard to Text Books published by themselves, and who presented, as a justification of their objection to certain approved Books, the commendation of these Teachers in favour of the rival Books, which they thus sought to have approved, in place of those on the official list.
