Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Establishment of Schools and Colleges, in Ontario, Vol. 3: 1792-1910 I have devoted a good deal of space in this Volume to a general and historical account of the various Colleges and Universities in this Province, and have specified the date of their establishment. To the University of King´s College, the first among the most noted of these Institutions, I have given a good deal of attention, not only on account of its peculiar origin, but also of its Parliamentary record during successive years, which reach back to 1829. So large a space in the public mind had the subject of King´s College occupied in these early days that I have thought it well to prepare a somewhat extended sketch of that Institution, which I have named "The University of King´s College and its Vicissitudes." To the long and acrimonious agitation which took place on King´s College questions is due the movement of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches to found Colleges of their own, so that their youth would not have to depend for their higher education upon an Institution wholly managed by the Church of England. The Methodists therefore obtained a Royal Charter for an Academy at Cobourg, which shortly afterwards became a College and University. The Presbyterian Church of Scotland also obtained a Royal Charter to found Queen´s College and University at Kingston. For each of the other Universities established in more peaceable times, and for the various Theological Colleges, I have collected sufficient material to enable me to give a fairly full and interesting description of them. From material which has been furnished me, I have inserted a very complete account of the means employed in the Normal and Model Schools to prepare the various grades of Teachers for their highly important work. The subjects of Technical and Industrial Education, in their more elaborate and popular forms, have of late years received a great deal of practical attention. The testimony borne to their intrinsic value in a new country like Canada, by the various parties who were consulted on the subject by the Royal Commission, was both convincing and conclusive.
