Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Establishment of Schools and Colleges in Ontario, 1792-1910, Vol. 1 In order to ascertain how, and to what extent, the various Cities, Towns, Villages and Townships in the Province had availed themselves of the provisions of the several Grammar, Public and Separate Schools Acts which had been passed by the Legislature of the Province from 1807 to 1871, inclusive, I issued a Circular in July, 1909, to the Boards of Trustees of these several classes of Schools to send me for insertion in a special Historical Volume on the "Establishment of Schools and Colleges in Ontario," a brief sketch of the establishment of Schools in their localities. Owing to various causes, and chiefly to the absence of definite documentary information on the subject, due, in a great measure, to the death of the "oldest inhabitant," (Trustee, or Teacher, etcetera), or other causes, I found it very difficult to obtain the desired information. After repeated applications in several cases, the sketches asked for were obtained, more or less curtailed, owing to one, or other, of the causes mentioned. However, I am very happy to be able to state that, with very few exceptions, I have been able to secure more, or less, brief sketches of the establishment of the Grammar and Public Schools in most of the Cities, Towns, Villages and Townships of the Province. In the years to come I felt that these sketches would be of great educational interest and value, as showing under what often very discouraging and disheartening circumstances local Schools of the various kinds were established, - Private in many cases at first, then Subscription and Rate-bill Schools and, at length, after a prolonged contest at the yearly meetings of the Ratepayers in each locality on the subject, the principle of Free Schools triumphed, and was finally embodied in Doctor Ryerson´s comprehensive School Act of 1871. The District Grammar Schools were the first kind of School authorized by law under the Act on that subject which was passed in 1807. The Law relating to Public Common Schools was not passed until 1816, so that Private Schools were the first that prevailed, then "Subscription," and afterwards the "Rate-bill" Schools were practically the ones in operation until 1850, when the Reverend Doctor Ryerson, as Chief Superintendent of Education, prepared a School Bill, - general in scope and object and largely financial in its character, - which was passed by the Legislature of Upper Canada in that year. The Separate Schools which were in operation in those days were authorized by law as early as in 1841. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
