Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documentary History of Education in Upper Canada, Vol. 27: From the Passing of the Constitutional Act of 1791 to the Close of the Reverend Doctor Ryerson´s Administration of the Education Department in 1876 The most notable event recorded in this Volume is the retirement of the Reverend Doctor Ryerson, who had so successfully originated the present School System of Upper Canada, (now Ontario), and who had so ably administered it during the long period of thirty-two years, during which he had held the highly responsible position as Chief Superintendent of Education. His parting Circulars, which are inserted in a special Chapter, will be read with interest, especially as, in his own review of his administration, in the thirty-fifth Chapter, the lights and shadows of that administration are brought out with clearness and precision. From my own intimate relation to the Chief Superintendent, as his chief Assistant, (from the beginning of his administration in 1844), I was able, in reply to an inquiry on the subject, to specifically point out in fuller outline what were the main features and striking characteristics of that administration. Another event of importance, and as a sequel to that of the Reverend Doctor Ryerson´s retirement as recorded in this Volume, was the appointment of the Honourable Adam Crooks, one of the early Graduates of the University of Toronto, and a Member of the Bar, as the first Minister of Education for the Province of Ontario. The Educational wants and requirements of the early Settlers in the new and remote portions of the Province were, for the first time, specially and personally inquired into, and provided for during the year. The results of that personal inquiry form an interesting episode, due to some extent, to the description of the striking scenery of these outlying sections of the Province. The next most important event recorded in this Volume was the setting up at the Centennial Exhibition, held at Philadelphia, (to commemorate the one hundredth Anniversary of the Independence of the United States as a Nation,) of examples of an extensive "Exhibit" of the Educational Appliances and Results of our Provincial System of Education. From the testimony of the United States and other national educational Experts at Philadelphia, who examined and reported upon that "Exhibit," it will be seen that they regarded that "Exhibit" as, in many respects, as superior, in fulness of detail, to any of the Exhibits of the several States of the Union, and as practical "Object Lesson" for their Educationists. Competitive Examinations of the Pupils of the several Schools in a Township, which, for the first time were successfully introduced into the Province during the year, were considered as a most desirable and potent means of awakening and keeping alive a personal interest in the Schools of both parents and children. The subject of the Educational Depository occupies a considerable space in the records of this Volume, owing to the fact that the newly elected Members of the Council of Public Instruction obtained the consent of the Council to the institution of an inquiry into the object and operations of the Educational Depository of the Department.
